Review/swatches Essence 2 in1 eye shadow & eyeliner

Hi everyone and welcome back to my blog, In today's post we are going to talk about Essence 2 in 1 eye shadow & eyeliner in the shade go bro'nze (waterproof)

So let's get started

I got this eye shadow not just a month ago and yes posted a picture of  all of the haul including this and I'm already obsessed with this thing. So I need to pick this up because for eye makeup in general I have a weird obsession with any thing which says bronze, I'm always like "That's mine"



The Product
This is an eye shadow and eyeliner stick which was launched by Essence earlier this year. this stuff is super pigmented, creamy, easy to apply and you just need 1 swipe in total and you are done. The fact that they are claiming it to be waterproof is actually true, you need to use a waterproof makeup remover to remove it I actually even once tested this under the water and you guys it didn't came off and 1 thing iI also want to add here that this stuff is also smudge proof I mean once you apply this then it will not smudge even if you touch your eyes. Now with this stuff they have used a very unique technique like once you apply it on your eyelids just give it a minute this will set completely on your eyes just like an liquid eyeliner which I feel is very interesting



 How to use it /how I use it?
So as I mentioned earlier here that I have an obsession with bronze shade, so let me tell you why?
I'm blessed with green eyes and If you guys know or if anyone who is reading this post who is also blessed with green eyes will know that the way bronze or brown pop?compliment green eyes no other color can (its like you are drawing a tree lol). So now enough the blabbering let's discuss how I use it now I'm not a eye shadow girl when it comes to everyday makeup but this you guys I apply it just like a swipe and then add a transition shade and I'm good to go, on special glam days I create a halo eye effect or use it as a base underneath another eye shadow or even for a smokey eye but for that you need to blend it extremely fast

The only ConNow I'm 100% satisfied with the product and I don't have any regrets buying it but the fact that the product itself is very big do make me think that they should attach a shaping tool underneath it so that you can use it as a liner and I do feel that they should also introduce these sticks in their slim versions

Final Take
I will give 4.5/5 stars
you guys should definitely check this out
this costed me for Rs 475
I got mine from Mall of Lahore but you can get yours from daraz.pk online

I hope you guys enjoy the review 
Untill next time

STAY GORGEOUS!!!

Let's get started

So 1 day I was going through all my lipsticks and while swatching them I found 2 colors extremely similar which were L'OREAL Color Riche in the shade 238 Orange After Party and SILLY18 lipstick in the shade 12 lavish instinct then I was like let me try it on my lips side by side and I did that and both of them were 100% identical. So What I did is I ask my mum and sister and they couldn't even tell the difference So I was like I need to share this with you guys because who doesn't love a good bargain




The Longevity

So as I need to be SUPER honest with you all Let me tell you guys that I like the dupe one better in terms of longevity. Both claims to be a satin finish but the L'OREAL one only lasts for 3 hours and you have to keep reapplying it after every meal but he SILLY18 will last you for at least 5 hours

Prices
Now lets compare the prices

RDizz Beauty Glitter Mousse


Hi everyone welcome back to the blog and I hope you all are well

So In today's post I'm gonna take you guys to a beauty product which made my life 200% easier dealing with glitters. So as you guys know glitters are always a hot thing or always is the best product to complete a glam look and as makeup junkie we all know how tough It is to work with loose glitters and girl don't even get me started on if one of your glitter decides to slip from your vanity to the floor, there is just no come back for the glitter itself



So let's talk about a product which is a life saver which are the RDizz beauty glitters. So Its a girl who started this whole set up of glitters in  a mousse form and now she have introduced various product after these initial glitter mousse success So today I'm going to review her "Golds and silvers" glitter palette because I feel like they can go with any and every outfit. So let's get started
Packaging
It comes in a transparent box with a paper thingy inside which as "Beauty's mousse creamy glitter, inside the packaging there are 12 individual container and the ingredients which are use in the making are not harmful In fact 1 of them is aloevera gel is one of them

The texture

So these glitters has a Creamy/Mousse texture, easy to work with because it's not just glitter in the container but it's a mousse in which all the glitters are stick to each other through the texture of the product So that is why there is near to no fall out which usually is not possible with the normal glitters

The best way to apply them is to use your fingers instead of brushes and then you can pack them on to your lids or anywhere you want to and the glitters will not go anywhere Until you remove it Yourself and I will suggest using a waterproof makeup remover and another thing is that you can apply it with no eye shadow or with no primer underneath, this thing is super easily to apply and a great tip I want to give you guys is that you can mix the glitters up I did actually wore these like that

A great thing I would say is that they can come out as individuals that means you are not bound to take the whole entire bunch of shades whenever you are travelling you can just take one or more with you depends on whatever color you needed and another thing is that because of the texture the product is not going to mess your makeup bag

Here are the swatches of All 12 shades in the palette/box of "Golds and Silvers"





Important thing
 I wanted to mention that when I was ordering mine 2 month back I actually ask her if we can choose any 12 shades from all the 6 palettes and that time this thing was not available but now you guys can have it like that

FINALLY
I will rate this 4.5/5 stars
These are available only in Pakistan and Dubai
Pakistan price: 900 from b.world1122 on Instagram
Dubai price:45 AED from PerniaZ MUA

Until next time:
STAY BEAUTIFUL!!!

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!!!
