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.

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.

The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of each other 😁 Kiddo turns 4 and celebrated with specially made doggy burgers & fries.

I got him in early Jan 2020 so he’s only been with me less than 4 years but it’s been incredible to see how he’s grown (or not), and how he’s slowly mellowed with age (or not!). He’s still that crazy rambunctious puppy who terrorises other dogs, begging them to play and barking at them when they don’t. He’s a greedy fella who makes me think I’m the greatest chef in the world (in the dog world maybe!) and he still gets crazy eyes when excited. 

But I’ve also found more white hair around his eyes and he sleeps in more and later now. He doesn’t even get up early enough to jump onto the bed as he used to 😔

4 years is practically adulthood in doggy years and I’m thankful that we have the opportunity to spend lots of time together even if I bemoan having to bring him everywhere I go. 

Happy 4 years boy ❤️

This explains my lack of updates generally. Been very busy preparing for this, and amazingly enough, moving operations again! It’s a long sucky story but it might have just turned out for the best for us so as they say about windows opening and closing, sometimes you just have to go with the flow and look for the open window when doors close.
