Save and Splurge : Silkygirl Lipgloss and Dior Addict Ultragloss

September 8, 2010 Paris B 11 Comments

I’m very particular about the lipglosses I use. My main criteria is that they must be shiny, not sticky and preferably unscented. I found 2 at 2 different ends of the price spectrum that fit this description.

dior addict ultragloss silkygirl lipgloss

Save: Silkygirl Moisture Max lipgloss RM15.90

At the “So Cheap!!” end of the price spectrum is Silkygirl with their new Moisture Max lipgloss. Colour is sheer, texture is a tad thick but its not sticky and its unscented and imparts a good shine. You could get worse in a lip gloss of this price 🙂 Read full review here.

Splurge: Dior Addict Ultragloss Flash RM88

At the other end of the price spectrum is Dior Addict – my all time favourite lip glosses. Beautiful colours, lovely shine and non sticky goodness. Oh and I like the packaging too. Flash is full of sparkles if you like that sort of thing. Read full review here.

Of course, if its within your budget, my recommendation is to get the Dior Addict Ultragloss. The colors look better, and they apply so much better and last longer too. But if budget is a constraint, get a good shine from Silkygirl at a fraction of the cost of Dior 🙂 These are not dupes, just wallet friendly alternatives.

Save and Splurge is where I show you 2 similar items by 2 different brands that I have tried. They may not work quite the same way, but it’ll offer you options for your wallet for a similar effect/product. Do note however, that it is based on products I have tried, so whilst there are many save and splurge options out there, these are my views. You can find more under the category of Challenges.

Silkygirl Moisture Max lipgloss retails at RM15.90 at major pharmacies. Dior Addict Ultragloss lipgloss retails at RM88 at all Dior counters.

Answer to question: Left – Silkygirl Right – Dior

      Err… there is – packaging, application, pigment, texture and formula 😛 Silkygirl loses on every count but it satisfies the sparkliness on a budget 😉

    I’ve used neither, but frankly speaking, I do prefer my Rimmel Vinyl Stars lipglosses over the Clinique ones.

Apparently elephants would eat the fruit of the ma Apparently elephants would eat the fruit of the marula tree and they’d get drunk 🤣 Trying out this #drunkelephant Marula oil. Very popular but worth the hype? On the blog!

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜
Tell me your fave Antipdoes skincare product!

It’s my first year doing retail and honestly, I’d never been so busy! The year-end rush is unreal! But busy is good, right? At least that’s what I tell myself 😂
While I pack up gift boxes of treats for doggies 🐶 (I’ve tied so many ribbons I’ve finally started to get it right!) #loccitanemalaysia makes it easy to shop for humans 😅 at experienceloccitane.com with their L’Occitane en Demande service. Place your order, and pick up in store or have it delivered. 
Had a bit of breather today and put together a little video. Blink and miss my little monster 🐶 helping me shop! Not sponsored but I did receive a gift from L’Occitane, for which my sun-exposed, dry dog-walking skin thanks you! 
Haven’t done any Christmas shopping this year. It has only just struck me that it’s but mere days away! 😨 Have you done yours?
