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 

UNTIL NEXT TIME:
STAY GORGEOUS

Review/Swatches Makeup Revolution London "Amazing Lipsticks"

Hi my beauties welcome back!

Today I'm reviewing the Amazing lipsticks from the brand Makeup Revolution. So I already know that the lipsticks always get mixed reviews Especially from the people who buy 1 or 2 shades but today I'm going to show you 4 different shades and let me tell you that all of them are different from each other, they have different formula or different staying power which I will be breaking down today for you guys and I will be telling you the qualities or the things I didn't liked Shade by Shade

Shades we will discuss

~ Nude
~ Sweetheart
~ Dream
~ Atomic Ruby




Let's discuss

Nude
This one is the rich matte formula in all of them to be honest it is a basic straight up nude with no tough to explain undertones lol but you have to apply 2 to 3 layers to show up but at the same time it doesn't washes me out this lasts for about 2 hours but I basically use it for mixing or lightening any dark color of my other lipstick which I really like I will give it 4/5 stars

Sweetheart
A perfect pretty BUBBLEGUM pink which would look super pretty on every skin tone possible but it was pigmented enough I mean even slightly tinted lip balms are more pigmented then this But still I will highly recommend it if you at least want to apply 15 layers of lipstick to show just a little bit of color I seriously can do a 100 layers of lipstick challenge easily I will give this 1/5 stars seriously. I wanted to say one thing more here that I have seen most of the people complaining about their pink shades in the range (I layered the color 15 times to makes it show up in the swatch above)

Dream
Now this lipstick is beautiful light pigmented medium red with orange and pink undertones It is on the matte side it stays but for 4 hours but you need to layer this stuff up but after some hours this color do bleed. I will give this 3.5/5 star

Atomic Ruby
Now this one is my favorite of all because you seriously need one swipe of this and you are good to go Now the color red with pink undertones it is a satiny finish but does not bleed I really like this red. I will give this one 5/5

                          Shades from left to right Nude, Sweetheart, Dream and Atomic Ruby

FINAL REVIEW

Overall I would say these are the lipsticks with the luck I mean one is matte other is satiny and they all are in one range there is no specification here by the brand May be It just started at the time when these lipsticks got launched and the maker didn't have the idea of this brand being this huge I am very  disappointed with the shade sweetheart but other then that I am quite Impressed with others

Finally It retails for 225 each
I got mine form here
I will rate it as 3.5/5 stars

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
Comment down below and tell me which one is your type and

Until Next time
STAY HAPPY AND FALL READY!!!

2 in 1 Review + Swatches Essence Velvet/Glossy sticks

Hi everyone welcome back and Eid Mubarak to all of you who are celebrating
So I need to post this review earlier in this week but got really ill and still I'm super ill but need to post of coarse and then I did tried to post one it just automatically got deleted So now again trying to post the review

So today we are taking a look on the "Essence Velvet & Glossy sticks" which were launched in Essence Spring/Summer collection earlier this year so I need to pick these up because if you have been following my blog from the beginning you would have known mama loves her lipsticks so much so I decided to grab both the formulas and we are talking about both today but first lets start with the matte version

Essence VELVET STICK



Claims~ claims to be a semi matte finish

Product Itself
So I have 2 of these ones So they are calling these the "Velvet stick" that simply means that these will be matte but not over the top like they will not feel uncomfortable or anything like that the color is very pigmented creamy and easy to apply just in 1 swatch

They really have awesome colors to choose from As I did swatched all of them.There is no patchiness what so ever and they are amazingly pigmented for the price you are paying for
But there's only one bad thing about these is that if you  try to apply and build the color up They will start looking a little bit glossy after 3 to 4 layers which obviously you can blot with the help of a tissue. Other than that I really love everything about them especially how comfortable these are

I will give them 4/5 stars

Now Lets talk about the 2nd type of the product

Essence GLOSSY STICK

Claims
~ Now these sticks claims to give you a glossy finish or in other words we can say its a satiny finish

Product Itself

So I have 2 of these sticks as well and the both fulfill the claims. Both the colors are pigmented enough in 1 swipe

But only the lighter colors like nudes or pinks perform extremely well Once the color get darker there is no serious pigmentation left which for me is really shocking because mostly in lipsticks we see the color pay off is not great in the lighter color which is some how acceptable but in these sticks normal colors are extremely creamy and very pigmented but the darker color is greasy, not so pigmented, opaque plus you cant get the color payoff in one swipe and if you try to build the color up the last swipe will get removed by the glossy stick itself
                                                                                                                                                            Here I am showing you Swatches of Brilliant Burgundy from top to bottom 2, 3, 5 swatches
Overall I love the color luminous rosewood but not a fan of the shade brilliant burgundy

So I will rate it as 3/5
Got all of them from Mall of Lahore
You can also get them from daraz.pk
I'm sorry in advance If I sound off beat to you guys its just because I'm not well at all

Until next time
STAY BEAUTIFUL!!!

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!!!
