Rivaj Uk Fantasy Eyeshadow Palettes 9 in 1 - Review and Swatches

Oct 27, 2021 - Zubaida -

I get so many requests to review local Pakistani makeup brands and i am searching for the best options. Few i have discovered are too much expensive like high end international brands but their shades story looks really average. If i want to suggest my local readers good makeup brands, i want them to be of good quality with affordable prices. However if there ever comes any brand with extremely high quality palettes with high price, i don't mind spending. But for now i am sticking to the affordable yet good quality makeup. I have picked these very compact Rivaj fantasy palettes and they really looks appealing with nice packaging and good color story, though basics. Let me share my thoughts with you.

My Thoughts
Starting from the packaging, they come in black plastic sturdy palettes with clear top. They have introduced 4 palettes and each palette have 9 shades. I have picked the palettes no 3 and 4. There is no any prominent smell which you expect from low quality shadows. The mattes and shimmery shades have overall nice texture with blend able formula and overall pigmentation is quite good. Even though matte shades which mostly have chalky formula with sheer pigmentation, these palettes are not like that, all the mattes are quite good. On top of that i like the mixture of warm and cool tone shades in them.

The top palette with no 03 is warm tones palette with coral and brown color story along with a shimmery gold. It is quite good for glamorous eye looks while also perfect to flaunt daily with one shade or two. The shades have very nice buttery formula and i loved the pigmentation. Let me define each shade starting from the left.

First shade is cool toned dark maroonish brown shade with matte finish.
Second shade is medium dark saffron brown shade with matte finish.
Third shade is medium dark coral brown with matte finish.
Fourth is cool tone dark brown shade with matte finish.
Fifth shade is dark copper red shade with shimmery finish.
Sixth shade is true gold shade with shimmery finish.
Seventh shade is light mustard shade with matte finish.
Eighth shades is medium dark coral orange shade with matte finish.
Ninth shade is medium brown shade with matte finish.

The second palette with no 04 is smokey palette which i would suggest everyone to have. This palette have beautiful color combination with dark matte shades along with some shimmery golds. The formula of this palette is also very good and no shade disappointed me. Lets talk about each shade.

The first shade is pale shimmery pink shade which can also be used as highlighter.
Second shade is medium brown shade with matte finish.
Third shade is dark brown with matte finish.
Fourth is light shimmery gold shade.
Fifth is light copper shade with shimmery finish.
Sixth shade is a unique frosted cool tone brown shade and is my most favorite.
Seventh one is frosted champagne shade.
Eighth shade is light medium peach shade with matte finish.
Ninth shade is a black shade with matte finish.

I really love this palette and looking forward to create tone of looks from them. I already used them for daily light makeup and loving them so much that they have become my most used palettes. I would highly recommend them for their fraction of price. Also do not compare them with ColourPop or Huda Beauty palettes, as they obviously have a lot of difference in quality but still they are very much usable and i loved them.
