Hello dolls, today I am sharing my review of Rimmel Stay Matte foundation with you. I was really curious about this foundation so I picked it up a few days back,even though I do not have oily skin but even then I bought this foundation out if curiosity. The shade I was forced to buy by the not-so-cooperative sales girl is true ivory ,which I think has a pink undertone, blah whatever!

The packaging:
I really like the packaging, It comes in a squeeze tube and the overall look is very sleek and I like the crown logo of Rimmel on it.The packaging is also super matte just like its name which is pretty cool I guess.

what the product says:
Feather- light , liquid mousse blends flawlessly for natural looking all day shine control. Silky smooth formula leaves perfectly matte, baby soft finish. Light-weight texture won't feel heavy or greasy.

My views:
This foundation has very thick consistency because its a liquid mousse foundation , so I need a little drop to cover my whole face.This foundation has super silky- smooth texture and it can be applied and blended with fingers or with a sponge and it will stay longer with powder applied on top. I think it cant be applied properly with a brush.I really like the velvety texture of this foundation and its so easy to blend on face.This foundation is super super matte and stays forever on skin,( I have dry skin and I use moisturizer underneath)
Overall its a very matte foundation and stays for 6 to 7 hours on skin, If it wasn't the wrong shade, I would have used up this foundation pretty soon. Next time I am going to check the beige shades. I believe its a great matte foundation by Rimmel and people with oily- combo skin should try this one, only shades are not so many to choose from, Rimmel needs to add more shades with yellow undertones. Still this foundation is a thumbs up from me.
price & availability:
I believe in Pak it should be under 1200 rupees at Rimmel stands nationwide, I bought mine for 36 dhs.
Pros:
super smooth
blends effortlessly
totally matte
good staying power
economical
handy & hygienic packaging
medium to full coverage
build-able
Cons:
shade range is limited
Thanks for reading, byeee!!!

Hello dolls,
Hope you are all doing great, today I am reviewing long lasting liquid lipstick by B'ecute. As we are all going gaga over the new liquid lipstick trend. Brands like Lime Crime , Dose of color and Anastasia Beverly Hills, Jeffree star have expensive lipsticks, while Brands like Nyx , LA colors, LA Splash, Mua and Makeup Revolution London and have liquid lip creams with an affordable price tag.
I really wanted to try some local brand's liquid lipstick, I searched in so many stores in my city and most of the times the sales assistants thought I was asking for something alien and gave me the oh-ask-for-something-sensible-nutcase looks. One day I went to grocery shopping and I asked for liquid lipstick, the SA gave me the same old look, duh and then I said to her, show me long lasting lipgloss and she put a whole stand of Be'cute lipsticks before me, yay ! I said to myself, I think B'ecute has around 16 shades in long lasting lipsticks and the colors are really nice. I then discovered Rivaj Uk also has long lasting lipsticks ,with a clear mattifying lip gloss on one end and colored one on the other end. Make sure to ask for long lasting /water proof lipstick/ lipgloss at local stores.

My thoughts:
I really like this lipstick, I picked a very pretty coral pink shade ,I love corals but there were mostly browns and pinks and two pinks with shimmer. This lipgloss has a doe foot applicator which is very practical to apply lipgloss. Thank God this product has no smell at all, It quickly dries into a matte finish and stays for the longest on lips. I applied this lipstick at 3 pm and I drank water ,cold drinks even a pizza ,but this lipgloss stayed put. After 7 hours and a greasy meal, It started fading from center. Overall its a really good product and I'll go for more colors in this.

Pros:
is kiss proof, smudge proof
Matte finish
very long lasting
No chipping
very affordable
stop by a local store to pick one up
many shades to choose from

Cons:
May dry lips
can accentuate lines and dry patches on lips

Price & availability:
Price is 395 rupees and easily available on local cosmetic stores in Pakistan.

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.

My Thoughts:
First of all packaging is really cute.These eyeshadow trios come in round black plastic container with a clear plastic screw on cap. The packaging is sturdy so you can easily carry it around in your bag without any problem.
The trio in summer Jam has pretty summery shades in it.One is a golden hued yellow ,the other is a very pretty bright Aqua blue type color, and the third one is very subtle light green color.These shades are powdery to touch and have very find gold shimmer particles.The shades alone are not highly pigmented and I was really disappointed when I swatched these on my hand. When applied with an eyeshadow primer these shades give off beautiful color and even with water these shades brighten up beautifully. With a primer the yellow turns into a brilliant gold shadow which is my favorite.

My Ratings:
3.5/5

Hi dolls,
I hope you are all doing great. Today I am reviewing gel liner by DmGm cosmetics.
I recently bought Fabliner by DmGm cosmetics though I went to buy my fave essence gel liner but it was not available.The SA convinced me to buy DmGm liner so I did.

What the product says:
Create fabulous eyes with the poured waterproof Fabliner. Long lasting gel formula, with a built-in applicator for easy dip & stroke action, Stay all day without smudging, running or flaking. Soft and creamy eyeliner is easy to blend and sticks perfectly, Provides an intensely deep pigmented stroke. Can be used on the waterline as well as the eyelid.
My Thoughts:

Packaging:
This DmGm eyeliner comes in a teeny tiny clear glass pot and it has a built in brush with it. Its really small in size and because the brush is attached on top,its really easy to carry around while travelling.The packaging is pretty basic like many other gel liners available in the market.The brush which comes with it is soft but I am afraid I cant draw a perfect wing with i draw my wing outline with my thin brush and fill in the space with this liner's brush.
The product:
The gel inside the pot is too little in quantity ,its not very creamy and feels a little dry but still you can apply it with ease on your eyelids.The color of DMGM fabliner is jet-black and its highly pigmented, the liner looks extremely black on eyelids and the finish is completely matte.I am so glad that there is no flaking of this liner and it sits on eyes for many hours. The DmGm eyeliner really is waterproof and smudge-proof ,I swatched it on my hand and rubbed it many times under water but its did not come off. It can be removed with a makeup remover easily and I removed it with a regular wet wipe but I had to rub really hard and my eyes hurt a lot because of rubbing, so its better to remove it with makeup remover.
I am really happy that DmGm gel-liner did not disappoint me. Its a great liner though I cannot tell about its life as many gel-liners dry up too soon.I bought it a few days ago so not sure about that.Overall DmGm fabliner is a quality product and is true to what it claims.

Pros:
*travel friendly
*intense black color
*highly pigmented
*can be worn in waterline
*stays in place for hours
*smudge-proof & water-proof

Cons:

*less in quantity

My ratings:

4.5/5

Price and avilabilty:
DmGm fabliner is available in Pakistan on DmGm cosmetic aisles, DmGm cosmetics is widely available in U.A.E. Its price is 850 rupees and in U.k around 6.50 pounds.
