Benefit highbeam review

Hi girls, Today I am talking about a liquid highlighter by benefit cosmetics, which is named high beam. I bought the deluxe one to try, about a year ago and I love using it on my cheek bones and brow bone.
Let's see what the company says about this highlighter :
What it is: 
A satiny-pink, liquid highlighter to add a subtle glow. 

What it does: 

Create a radiant, dewy complexion for an ethereal glow that is perfectly alluring on all skin tones with this iconic, high beam highlighter. Use it as a spot highlighter over makeup or wear it underneath makeup for subtle luminescence. 

Beauty tip: 

High beam is the ultimate go-to product for strobing. Dot and blend high beam where light would naturally hit your face (the cheekbones, browbones, down your nose, and on your cupid's bow) for a beautiful, glowing complexion.
Packaging:
It comes in a small plastic container and its applicator is similar to a  nail polish applicator .The cap can be safely twisted back to close.
The product:
High beam is a very light pink highlighter and has a medium liquid consistency, it is neither runny nor very thick, it almost feels like whipped cream. It applies smooth on skin with fingers, or a beauty blender. High beam is basically a very subtle highlighter. Do not expect it to be extremely glowing as the name would suggest. It's really very subtle and gives a very soft & natural shine to areas of face . It is probably the lightest and subtlest highlighter I ever came across. Overall it's a super cute and adorable highlighter which is very easy to apply and carry around.

The goods:
  • travel friendly
  • has no odor 
  • nice subtle shine
  • blendable
The bads:
  • expensive
  • less quantity
  • too subtle

Price & Availability:
I paid 800 rupees for this teeny tiny tube, the big size is available in 10 ml packaging, for 26 $ at sephora

Elf bush Gotta Glow review


Hi beauties, I have been too lazy to write reviews lately and I have a huge pile of products to be photograped and sorted. So finally I gathered some non- existant energy to review e.l.f studio blush in gotta glow , half review was written a month ago though. I am a huge e.l.f fan because this amazing brand has excellent quality products with reasonable prices , so honestly I want to bring home every single product from this brand. e.l.f never seizes to amaze me really.
I was lusting after gotta glow for a long time and as soon as I got a chance, I picked up this beauty.They say its a close dupe of Nars Albatros highlighter, well I don't own Nars but this one is such a steal and looks really pretty and it is almost similiar to Makeup revolution golden lights highlighter which I happen to own.
The packaging:
elf gotta glow blush comes in a basic small black plastic casing, Its very similar to Nars packaging, there is a small mirror in the lid so you can apply your highlighter easily.The packaging is quite sturdy and there is a clear strip of plastic in the lid, from where you can see the blush color easily.
My thoughts:
I absolutely love this blush,it is so good to apply on inner corners of eyes, browbone and highlight cheeks. Its a golden hued color and it can be applied easily with fingers or a fan brush because it so pigmented and blends easily.This blush is kind of chalky in formula but I am amazed that there is no big fallout of this blush, the glitter specks are not chunky in this highlighter and it is so easy to carry around in bag without any fear. Over all I love this blush by e.l.f , it so cheap and quality is great to be my go to highlighter.

Price and availability:

Rivaj Uk mineral terracotta eyeshadow & blush review



Hi beauties,
Today I am reviewing Rivaj Uk's mineral terracotta blush & eyeshadow.




what the product says:
With its fabulous and shiny colors it provides a natural shiny look and sun-kissed color to your face. This powder brings a rosy blush to the cheeks. The silky Available In 10 Different Color Combinations.


These blushes are really pretty and I fell in love with these when  i swatches the samples a few days back. I went to buy the blush in shade 2 but the SA was not able to find it and I was getting late (so cliche') so I chose no.7 instead.




My thoughts:
This blush is velvety smooth to touch and it has shimmer particles in it. It is very pigmented and you just need to apply a little bit on apples of your cheeks. This blush gives beautiful shine and glow to face but you just need to carefully apply it because you will end up looking like a glitterball if used heavily. I am really happy with this blush,it can be used as eye shadow because its so pigmented & shimmery. I am still in love with shade 2, will be getting that soon. Overall such a fantastic highlighter which is so pretty and has so many shades to choose from though I feel they should make a few in white/ beige and dull gold shades.Probably the best cheap highlighters I came across in the local market and worth buying.
pros:
sturdy packaging
very pigmented
can be used as eyeshadows
can be used as blush/highlighter
many shades to choose from
budget friendly
Cons:
not for people who don't like shimmer
Price and availability:
price is 325 rupees available at Rivaj uk kiosks nationwide.
