My Take Time : Silkygirl Gloss On Lipcolor Review

hello gorgeous !!!
Silky girl products are the very first makeup products I bought in Malaysia. I am totally a fan of them since then.I own a ton of Silkygirl lipsticks,eyeshadowseye pencilsblushes....

See my review on Silkygirl Duo Eyeshadows here
See my review on Silkygirl Funky Eyelights Pencil here 

I have been using Silkygirl Lipcolors, ever since I have started doing makeup !!!I owned a ton of Silkygirl Moisture Rich Lipcolor. These comes with amazing texture and variety of shades. I will be reviewing them soon.

Recently I came across Silkygirl Gloss On Lipcolors 



I own three shades, and I am just loving it !!!I always stay away from Lipglosses as they usually makes my lips sticky and yikes.So I always hunt for moisturising lipsticks which will serve the purpose of lipgloss without being overly sticky/glossy.The name Gloss On Lipcolor kind of sucked me into it !!!


WARM BERRY : Its a light subtle kind of nude shade


GINGER BROWN : This is a subtle brown shade


SOFT PLUM : This is a nice rich plum shade

P.S. I have applied no LIP BALM or base. Just to show you guys how moisturising it is.But however I would suggest always to wear a lip balm beneath any lip product.

What It Claims
Your puckers will remain “kissably” soft and tantalizingly moist with its Vitamin E Derivatives and Aloe Vera Extract formulation. With the goodness of Chamomile Extract, your lips will no longer be chapped or flaky. And your lips will look radiantly healthy with its Tourmaline contents.

My Verdict
After using it for over 6months, I can say......
  • First the packaging.Well its quite sleek and trendy.I like it
  • The texture is very moisturising and really hydrating
  • Very smooth and glides on easily on the lips
  • Creamy Texture
  • Sleek casing makes it easy to travel with
  • Love the glossy(but not sticky) finish
  • Have good stay on power(Experimented for 5-6hrs).Keeps my lips moisturised without re applying lipbalm which is a great thing for me
  • Range of shades are not much. Mostly Pinks and subtle shades.Suitable for daytime
  • Easily available locally (Watsons, Guardian,etc...)
  • Cheap :) hehehe. Rm 17.77. Look out for offers.I bought buy 1 free 1 and the third one got for rm 12 :)

It is definitely a CATCH IT for me.And I am definitely going to purchase other shades.

Hope my post is helpful for you guys.
Do share your views about this product and do suggest me your favourite shade.

Love
Appy

The Balmology : The Balm blush in Cabana Boy Review

hey beauties !!! I am really in love with The Balm products and have already raved about  HOT MAMA blush and today I am going to rave about my CABANA BOY blush.



PACKAGING and AVAILABILITY
  • It has a seductive hard board packaging with magnet on the closure.This packaging makes it sleek and travel friendly.I just love theBalm packaging.Its quite unique.
  • It comes with a decent size mirror.But no brush.Seriously, I dont care abt the brush coz anyhow I never use the brushes which comes with the blush.
  • Its retails for rm 65 at SASA.


MY VERDICT 


  • Its a beautiful dusty rose shade with golden shimmer in it.I just love the shade.
  • Its not shimmery but it gives a nice golden sheen.
  • It has got a hint of plum in it which makes it a great night blush too.
  • The shade makes it a over the year blush.
  • Its highly pigmented so a slight tap of brush is enough.
  • It has a smooth texture which is not powdery and blends easily.
  • The balm claims that it is a good lid color as well which is definitely a cherry on the cake :)
Couldn't find a better lighting :(


Well its a HIT HIT HIT for me :) And I am totally in love with the CABANA BOY ;)

FOTD : Romantic Orchid Look

hey lovelies....
As I have told in my earlier posts, I am a member of Beauty Is Flirty! What You Think?’ (BIF) Facebook Group. Recently we all decided to go for a THEME MAKEUP challenge. The theme is 





And the first thing that hit my mind was Romance. I am always spontaneous whenever it comes to doing anything creative, I go for the first thing that comes to my mind.

So here is what I did





HOW I DID IT :
  • Prime your eyes.
 I used MAYBELLINE EYE STUDIO DIAMOND GLOW EYESHADOW QUAD in WINE PINK for this look. See Review here
  • Apply a PEARLY WHITE shade as a base.Here I used the lightest highlight color from my Quad.
  • Next apply a PEACHY PINK shade on the entire eyelid.I used the lightest pink from the Quad.
  • Now take a crease brush and apply a HOT PINK shade on the crease and blend it above the crease line.I used the dark pink shade from the Quad.
  • For the outer V, take a BURGUNDY shade on a pencil brush and intensify the shade on the outer V.I used the darkest color from the Quad.
  • In the inner tear duct area dust some YELLOW shadow and blend it inward.
  • Now for the lower eye lid.Line the outer half with the same  BURGUNDY  shade and inner half with the HOT PINK shade and blend it well.
  • Line the upper lash line with a black liner.
  • For the cheeks and Lips, keep it PINK.
Hope you guys like it :)
