Things are looking Rosy and Peachy with the very affordable Silkygirl Blushing Trio in Rosy Peach

Paris B 43 Comments

There is something you may know about me. Or you may not. But I’m a blush fiend. Blushes were my first love, even before lipstick and I have a … well… pretty large collection 😛 I don’t discriminate with brands, if you are wondering. You may notice that I have a fondness for the luxury brands, but when it comes to blush (and lipstick), I am quite prepared to look in the budget sections provided there is something good and worth looking at 😀

Which is how I stumbled on the Silkygirl Blushing Trio blush one day at the pharmacy. Silkygirl is a local (Malaysian) brand of inexpensive cosmetics that is very easy on the pocket. I spotted the new Blushing Trio blushes one day and later went back to pick one up. A preliminary swatch of the tester made me think it a decent enough buy. The low low promotional price of RM19.88 (RRP RM25.90) helped of course!

But does the cheap price mean cheap and crappy product?

Save and Splurge : Silkygirl Lipgloss and Dior Addict Ultragloss

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.

Introducing some Malaysian Cosmetics brands I have tried and liked

Paris B 31 Comments

Today’s a public holiday here in Malaysia where I’m based (in case anyone has missed that LOL!) because its our National Day or Independance Day. And in the spirit of patriotism here are some brands which are homegrown and the noteworthy items I have tried from them (in no particular order).

Do note however, that there are many more brands out there that are Malaysian owned but I haven’t tried them all. There are also a couple of brands which I have nothing very nice to say so I won’t 😛 If you know of more noteworthy local brands or products, do leave your comment in the comment box below! 🙂

The brand seems to have quietened down a little since it was launched. I’m still using the Arch it Right Brow Kit (for the awesome tweezers and brow powders) and the Magic Spell Auto Eyeliner, both of which are definitely worth taking a look into. Also consider the eyeshadow palettes – Alyssa and Smoke Gets in your Eyes are surefire recommendations from me. View availability here.

The name is a little kiddy and so is the image, but there are a couple of hidden gems in there. The Moisture Max lipgloss isn’t bad for something that affordable, and the Funky Eyeliner pencils deserve a worthy mention.

Silkygirl Moisture Max Lipgloss is Good Stuff but …

Paris B 9 Comments

There are many things to like about the Silkygirl Moisture Max lipgloss. Its terribly affordable for one. I think I bought mine at RM12.88 or something equally ridiculous. I had to – Connie was raving so much about it I had to see what the hype was about 😛

But if I have a major gripe with the gloss, its with the packaging. Nevermind the elegant lucite tube and shiny cap – where’s the name? The only way to know that this gloss is by Silkygirl is to look at the base where the sticker tells you brand, and colour.

Its almost as if Silkygirl was feeling too embarrassed to put their name on this product. The thing is, SilkyGirl needn’t hide their name on this one – its a pretty decent deal… well considering the price anyway.
