Review and Swatch! Silkygirl Moisture Lipgloss

                Hi my beloved fabbulous readers! How are you? Thank you very much for keep reading my blog. Today I wanna review lipglosses from Silky Girl. Silkygirl is a Malaysian product, before I bought these, I heard much rave about them being a great dupe of Wet and Wild products. My friends talked a lot about it being in the same company as the one who produced Wet and Wild. Well, their website didn`t say any of the facts above, but since I was curious, I tried them out anyway. 

                I got these two lipglosses in Matahari department store when they were on discount J. Yay for being UPHS student, we know first for this kind of thing hahaha. I got two shades, Almost Nude and Rose Pink. Both of them were the most natural shades. Almost nude has beige color, whereas rose pink is soft pink color. Very nice for daily uses.  Here are the swatches.

I also found that Almost Nude lipgloss goes so well with Barely Nude Lipstick from the same company. I tried this for Miss UPH look, you can see it here. It went nicely J as if they were made for each other.

I like this lipgloss because

It has a very nice colors, with enough glam to make me sparkle

It is not sticky compares to another lipglosses

I like the packaging

Very affordable, around 17000 rupiah, or about $2

Available locally. Even I can`t find them just anywhere, they are pretty easy to find.

Love love love the colors!

It doesn’t dry my lip

I don’t like this lipgloss because

The staying power is so – so. It fades in only 1 hour. I have to apply it again and again. Tiring

Overall, these lipglosses are quite nice. Not the best, but if you wanna wear lip gloss just for fun, I think this product is great  to fades your curiosity. Honestly, I am not really huge fan of lipglosses because I don’t like the sticky feeling that they make. These lipglosses make me happy because their stickiness are tolerable and enjoyable.  Have you tried this one? Share your thought J

Rating : 4/5

Rephurchase: Well, maybe. I don’t like lipgloss much.

REVIEW : La Tulipe Loose Powder

Hello ladies ^.^ Happy Chinese New Year! This celebration has come, and surely we are going to be blessed! Living abundantly, beautifully and healthy, that is my motto for this upcoming year. As usually, this year I will also go back to Mojokerto, my hometown, to pay my respect to the elders.  What are you gonna do? I hope you have a lot of fun!

Before I am heading back to my hometown, I feel like writing review and tutorial for you J. Today`s review is about La tulipe`s loose powder. La tulipe is Indonesian local brand. Famous. It has two lines, one is la tulipe and the other is la tulipe pro. La tulipe is cheaper and very appropriate for daily uses, whereas la tulipe pro is more premium, a lot of make up artists use this brand to create the look.

Natural shade : up close

Sun tan shade: Up close

This loose powder comes from the first line. I got two shades, natural and suntan.

What I like about this product?

-          1. It gives you flawless effect

-          2. Great for setting your make up

-          3. Since it is loose powder, it is more breathable than compacts

-          4. Finely milled powder. Me likey!

-          5. Great staying power

-          6.Affordable, only 35000.

What I don’t like about this product?

-          1. It breaks me out. After using this for a week, my skin starts growing pimples. Uh!

-          2. It has a strong scent.

This is a great product, I recommend this for you who has normal skin or combination skin. I personally use this as one of my staple for beauty course. My teacher recommends me to use this because it sets make up wonderfully. For you who has an olive skin, sun tan shades would suit you nicely. I have tried this all the time to my models. Naturals would be suitable for fairer skin. Have you try this powder? Share your thought!

REVIEW : Maybelline ALL IN ONE cake powder

Front

Two days ago, when I dropped by one of local minimarket, I saw a maybelline powder but in a very small packaging. I asked the lady what it was, and she said it was refill powder. I was excited, because I had 5 maybelline powders, but they were almost gone ( read here). It was also very very cheap, only 20.000 rupiahs, or about 2.5 dollars. Without more hesitation, I grabbed one of this.

Here are some pictures that i took for you :)

When I opened this at home, I suddenly realized that this was not the refill I want. This refill is a new product from Clear n Smooth line called ALL IN ONE CLEAR SMOOTH SHINE FREE CAKE POWDER J.  I was happy anyway hehehe. When I saw the back package, I saw improvements that Maybelline is trying to make on this new product. It has higher SPF than the previous foundation powder, also this one has vitamin c for instant fairness.

So lets review this J, shall we? It claims that it is

1.       SHINE FREE – Blend of water and sebum repellent powders keep skin matte and wonderfully fresh throughout the wear. My opinion: I don’t feel this shine free effect much, honestly in two hours my T zone shines. But yes, I look fresher.

2.       HIGH UV PROTECTION – SPF 25 and PA ++. My opinion: Yeah! I love the fact that maybelline has improved on this part. This powder allows me to go indoor and outdoor without afraid of getting darker. SPF also prevents my skin on developing black spots.

3.       INSTANT FAIRNESS – Infused with vitamin C. My opinion: I don’t see any of this effect. Hmm maybe because I still use this for two days.

4.       Imperfections blend away and conceal blemishes – My opinion : Yeah, the coverage is medium, and full when you wet the sponge. Hmm it conceals redness of my skin, but I still need concealer on my under eye.

5.       Long lasting – My opinion: For me, the concistency is so so, around 5 hours in air conditioned building, and 2 hours in hot indonesian weather.

6.       VISIBLY SMOOTH COMPLEXION and TONE PERFECTING: Yeah, this is true. I like my complexion after using this powder. Not too mention that this time the shade is right. Eventhough it says natural, it doesn’t give me the ghostly look like the previous maybelline powder that I have. This time, it blends perfectly on my skin. YAY!

                I also in love the packaging since it is PINK! Hahaha, I am such a sucker for pink. It is also very small, it fits perfectly on my pencil case, my make up case, and save so much space for other thing. It doesn’t come with mirror, but I think It is okay, since I will have separate mirror in my pencil case. The sponge is also nice, it applies this powder just well and nice. And last thing, just like another maybelline product, it is non comedogenic, so it won’t break my skin out. In conclusion, this powder is totally worthy of the price. Oh, no, wrong, it gives you more than the price. Have you bought any of this? Share it with me J

Rephurchase: Yeah J
