Review/Swatches RIVAJ UK VOLUME EXPRESS MASCARA

Hi everyone welcome back I hope you all are doing well

today I will be reviewing a mascara now it is my first time reviewing a mascara on my blog so I'm pretty excited because these days with my blog as well as my Instagram I have been discovering new things so let's get started

So in today's review we will be discussing a Pakistan based drugstore mascara which is affordable as well as works like a high end mascara

I bought this Rivaj UK volume express mascara 2 months ago because I went to some stores and got to know that the sexy curve mascara is not in stock so I pick this one instead and honestly I'm amazed with the price and the quality

PACKAGING:

Shinny Black Packaging with silver writing on it the shape of the product does remind me of Maybelline mascaras but just those are a little bit bulkier

PRODUCT ITSELF:

The product itself actually had me first I saw the mascara wand and I was really happy to see a movable synthetic mascara wand which means you do have full control of how much product you want on your lashes
The mascara is in black color plus it is water proof for those who have straight lashes this is a pretty good deal but the girls who already have curled lashes like I do they can use this mascara on special occasions

I like using this on functions to give my lashes the falsies look because to be honest I don't believe in applying fake lashes but if that's your style then you do you girl

Now they claim this mascara to be water proof and to give volume but let me tell you a secret which is that it can give you amazing length as well which means this is a perfect baby

Swatch of the mascara

PRICE AND OTHER STUFF:

This mascara is priced at 200 rs in the store where I got it but it can vary between 200 to 250 depending on the shop you purchase it from

You can get this online at: Rivaj UK for Rs 269

I will rate this: 5/5 because this product is an exception

I hope you guys enjoyed the review

REVIEW/SWATCHES "Rivaj UK Color Fusion Lipsticks"

Hi everyone how are you?

Today I will be reviewing the Rivaj UK color fusion Lipsticks as you guys seem to really like all the Pakistani brand base reviews So here we go

So I actually had these lipsticks for almost a year now but I have never given them a good shot but now I started using these 

Packaging:

It comes in a basic white packaging with the golden writing on it and on the very bottom the shade name is written but when you open the lid inside it is a golden color packaging

The color pay off and the longevity:

 So the lipsticks are extremely creamy and honestly you only need 1 swipe to get the full color pay off which I'm really impressed with but the duration of these lipsticks are something that I'm not a huge fan of because of being something extremely creamy and comfortable they almost feel like a gloss but not the sticky one so that's why they will last for like 3 4 hours if you don't eat anything but lets say if you are eating something like a burger these babies will definitely fade away or i would say shift and I think for such a lower priced lipstick you cannot expect that it will be perfect

However I would like to say that it is a great option for college going girls who like to look good but at the same time don't want to spend their monthly pocket money on just 1 makeup item

Quality:

Quality wise I'm pretty impressed by the color pay off, the hydration plus the balmy feeling on the lips 

One thing is for sure that it will not make your lips dry at all

My Trick:

My trick to make this lipstick last is that I apply foundation on my lips to make it last more than the usual and if you want to make it further long lasting you can apply a translucent powder on top and blend it but it will at the same time make your lipstick matte and that is completely on you if you feel comfortable in a curtain finish

THE SHADE I DON'T LIKE:

The shade number 12 is the one that swatches very nicely on the hand but on the lips it honestly washes me out and considering that I'm pretty fair I think it will not suit most of the skin tones but other than I really like all the other shades I have 

SWATCHES:

I got mine from RAHAT Lahore 

They are priced at 160 rupees each

You get 2 grams of product 

You can also purchase them www.rivaj-uk.com

My Everyday Go To (less than 10 minutes ) makeup

Hi Everyone and welcome back to my blog I hope you guys are all doing well

So for today's post I have gathered the products that I have been loving or using every single day for a "Less than 10 minutes makeup" to make myself look a little more presentable or put together I would say so without further ado let's get started

☆ Garnier BB Cream 
First Step I like to put on some BB Cream all over my face not forgetting the eyelid area now this particular BB Cream is best in my opinion because it's extremely light in coverage and that's what I want because I like my skin peaking through a little bit plus it suits my dry skin so well it just makes the makeup look extremely natural which is perfect for everyday purpose

☆ Eyebrows 

There's nothing new here same 2 brow products that I'm sure you guys are tired of seeing but I love them. So to fill them in I use this Rivaj Cosmetics Eyebrow pencil in the Brown shade and then to set them in place I coat them all with the Essence cosmetics Make Me Brow in the shade "brownie brows 02" so they do not budge all day long I honestly swear by this combo for the longest time

☆ Give Yourself a Sunkissed Glow

Then I use this illuminating Bronzer from Palladio Cosmetics in the shade "Atlantic tan" which if you guys are following me on instagram you would have seen this so many times already I love the sheen and the natural glow it gives rather than looking shimmery or anything because I know we usually get illuminating Bronzers with shimmery particles but this one is free from them so I pretty much use it on all the bronzing areas with a big fluffy brush and also on the crease area on my eyes with an eyeshadow blending brush ever since I got this product I seriously can't consider anything else to Bronze Be it drugstore or high end

☆ Mascara time

So then I go ahead and use 1 coat of the "Essence cosmetics false lashes Dramatic volume" I have been obsessed with this mascara ever since I got it I would say that I don't like to use a waterproof mascara for everyday purpose but if you feel comfortable in wearing a water proof mascara then feel free to use one
1 thing I want to clear out that the mascara says Dramatic volume but it doesn't give you enough volume but lengthens the lashes pretty amazingly

☆ Lips

And then I just apply this ESSENCE MAT lipstick in the shade "02 Perfect Match" now 7 times out of 10 no actually 9 times out of 10 I wear this lipstick I'm just obsessed with this color it's the perfect mauve nude that anyone can ask for it is perfect for everyday use nothing too crazy just perfect as the name suggest and it is so comfortable on the lips which is a definite plus

So that's about it I really hope you find it helpful in some ways, this look is so versatile it's not way too much or too less for everyday and you can mix and match this look by say changing a lipcolor or winging the eyes out or using a different coverage foundation and make sure to powder your skin if you are oily I personally don't powder my skin on an everyday bases
So this is my take on using less products and still looking somewhat together and because it's light it is perfect for the summers by keeping it to the point instead of caking it up

Fall/winter lipsticks option (mauve, berry and plum) inspired

Hi beautiful ladies welcome back to my channel

So if you guys are following me on Instagram then you will already know that this blog is coming. As we all know fall is coming and its all about that dark lip trend not only the reds but also some intense mauves and plums which I enjoy a lot so I have decided to show you guys some options which you can totally rock starting from the lip liner to the liquid lipsticks in today's post I'm trying to cover each and every lip category for you guys so I hope you will find at least 1 for yourself

Let's get started

Lip liners

Essence long lasting lip liner (10 berry on my mind)

It is a very wearable color for the people who In case don't like to go full on glam but still wants something to make their lips fall appropriate this lip liner is perfect for them. This color has a mauve undertone with more pink to it

Femina Long lasting lip liner (F-411 Cherry Red)

With this lip liner I will completely disagree with the name because this one has a perfect blend of maroon and plum which is so perfect for fall. you can flaunt this lip liner all on it's own or else you can wear it underneath or on top of a lipstick as well. it is so perfect yet so affordable. Now I myself have wore this lip liner when I wanted to do DEEPIKA PADUKONE 2014 Iifa inspired look for a function in my family with 2 other lipsticks on top

Essence Lip liner (Satin Mauve) 

So I know this liner has been discontinued by Essence but still I got my hands on it in September after searching so much and If you guys can still buy it then I'll definitely say that It is worth buying, So as the the name suggest satin mauve yeah it is. This is perfect for those who want hint of nude with mauve as their everyday lip color

LIP BALM

Maybelline Baby Lips (Pink Shock)

I wanted to include a lip balm in the options for those of you who are just starting makeup or for those who don't like the dark lip trend or going out full glam, The maybelline baby lips is a perfect option for you Now I know it is pink but still it has a fun purple element going on. so it has 2 benefits the lip protection + lip color

Lipsticks in a pencil form

Rivaj UK lipstick pencil (024 Brown sugar)

This color is very muted tone of mauve. it is like hidden mauve in a very cool tone brown which makes it wearable but a little bit glam at the same time

Essence Glossy stick (Brilliant burgundy)

So this shade is a glossy finish for those who don't or can't wear matte lipsticks in general this stuff has plum undertones which makes it super fall appropriate

Lipsticks in bullet form
Clinique lipstick (A Different Grape)

Now this lipstick is super creamy/easy to apply and the color is very wearable for fall time during some simple outdoor lunches this will look perfect. It is a perfect blend of brown and plum in one which is a rare shade

Rimmel moisture RENEW lipstick (380 Dark Night Waterl-oops)

As you guys can see the Berry tone lipstick is perfect when you want to go a little bit xtra glam without having to worry about the dryness because this is super moisturizing and it does go on super smoothly just in 1 swipe

Essence lipstick (Barely there)

This lipstick is a perfect dark nude with the mauve under tone so this will be perfect on the normal days or for those people who doesn't like the dark lip

Flormar Lipstick (525)

This lipstick for me discribes the perfect plum color which is super moisturizing non drying and literally this can stay put for 8 hours at least which for a moisturizing lipstick is insane

Lip Gloss

Essence XXXL Long lasting lip gloss (Berry cream 10)

This is a lip gloss with a velvet matte finish for those who don't like to wear liquid lipstick but still want a matte affect. It doesn't dry down so you can still feel the lip cream instead of feeling the dry lips

Liquid Lipsticks

Beauty Uk Lip MATTER (07 Mauve your body)

As the name says mauve I myself feel like it is the best pure mauve color here and it dries down complete matte plus doesn't make your lips dry

Color pop (lumeire 2)

Now i will be honest with you guys that I was planning to do this whole fall lipstick inspiration from a month but actually was waiting for this color, Now this color is a mixture of plum and mauve plus so much of cool tone but still it is very drying 

So now that's pretty much it. I hope you guys found it helpful because honestly this was too tough

STAY HAPPY AND FALL READY!!!

Rivaj UK Color Art lipstick pencil (waterproof/long lasting)

Hi my girls iI hope you all are well

So today I'm gonna talk about one of my favorite thing in makeup world obviously its lipsticks but today in particular I'm here to share some of my favorite lipstick formula which is Rivaj Uk's pencil lipsticks
Now I first buy 3 of these last year (at that time I use to think only expensive makeup can work) I got these and gradually fell in love with the formula, the pigmentation and what not. So now I currently own 9 out of so many shades, 

So let's discuss what this product has to offer

PACKAGING

They come in a full black packaging with white printing on it and the lid of it is also completely black but only the very lower portion of the lipstick itself shows the particular lipstick shade and they smells like typical lipstick

The claims of the product
~ Waterproof 

~ Long Lasting

Actual take 

Most of them are matte in my collection. There is only one which has chunks of glitter in it but the texture of that is also matte

 

The wear of this stuff is 7 to 8 hours which is very good for the price of it but even when they completely wears off It still gives slightest tint to your lips
Even the nude colors are super pigmented and can perform so well. none of them are patchy sticky or anything. Every color do fulfill the claims

They looks gorgeous on your lips. they go on very smoothly. Even They give a plumping effect on your lips some of the colors reminds me of kylie jenner lip kits which I think is amazing 

They are enough creamy they goes on beautifully and they can perform on their own and even if you use them underneath your liquid lipsticks, lipsticks in form of a bullet or even with lip gloss they just work brilliantly. Seriously You guys they always stay in my everyday bag and everyday drawer. Even I have purchased the backups of the colors I love the most

For me these are all rounder honestly the color selection is fab the staying power is ridiculously amazing and then they are extremely budget friendly. 1 can compare them with maybelline color drama lipstick pencil Its just that those don't stay on your lips for this long and for me they are a little bit extra creamy which can make them melt 

some of my all time favorite:

         

Skin Tone and Fire brick are my most favorites from the favorites 

Fire brick is a 100% dupe for Mac's Ruby Woo do compare them side by side

The other shades:

 I don't like the 007 because of the glitters but I do often use all the others


The Downer 

The only down side for me is that Some of them have names with the numbers on it but some of them only have names Whereas I prefer names more But That fact haven't stopped my love for them

Recommendation

I highly highly recommend these If you don't want to get so many like I do just get At least 1 or 2 shades I'm sure you girls will never get disappointed

My Rate: 5/5 (hands down they deserve)
Price: on some shops they retail for 70 and on the other 85 to 95 rupees
I usually get them from Rahat Lahore 

Until next time:
STAY BEAUTIFUL!!!
