Review: SILKYGIRL Moisture Boost Lipcolor Balm

Annyeong! Hi minna san, sorry for not updating much lately. I want to, but I don't have the drive to post although I got a lot of pending drafts *yikes*. To anyone who likes or loves anime have you watched Ookami Shoujo To Kuro Ouji (Wolf girl and Black Prince)? Its a comedy and romance based story and they have an anime and live action versions. Nowadays instead of watching dramas I read manga. Actually that is my only 'me time' because I am so busy lately and I don't even have time to prettify. I needed multi-purpose products which I can use especially when I am in a rush. There is something I use everyday now and its SILKYGIRL Moisture Boost Lipcolor Balm.

I thought of reviewing them for today. I got them in 6 shades.



What is it?
Moisture Boost Lipcolor comes in a retractable pencil form with vitamins A, C, and E. Its perfect blend of oils ensure that your lips stay soft and supple. A balanced blend of luminous to provide your lips with a balm-like moisture. Credits: Silkycosmetics



Packaging
The product is packaged in Light plastic material and its made to look like big crayons, soooo cute~
The retractable form of Silkygirl Moisture Boost Lipcolor Balm makes it very handy and there is no sharpening needed! Just twist and go.





Experience
I was very happy when I received this babies! Seriously they have 6 shades which are all so tempting. The range comes from nude to red and I think its just what every girl needs. The usual baby pink and hot pink are not in this lip color series though. Not a big let down though, because most of the other brands already cover those colors. Might good to not include them for a change? (but deep inside, *pinku is lifeuuu*)

First thoughts, I can say that its in a convenient form. It will seem you are using a big crayola when you apply. Its very cute. Korean beauty brands are all over crayon type lippies nowadays my sister have Peri Pera and she really likes it. I want to know how Silkygirl fares with other brands!

Okay so off to the swatches on my lips. Like I've said its available on 6 shades, they are numbered and named (how convenient!): 1. Latte, 2. Coral, 3. Ruby 4. Rose, 5. Poppy 6. Wine. Check them out below:



SILKYGIRL Moisture Boost Lipcolor Balm

1. Latte
Latte is a nice nude shade that won't leave you look washed out. This is a good nude shade for everyday.

2. Coral
Coral is a peachy pink shade, but it leans more on pink. This is the closest they can get to pink. But this shade makes me look blooming, I like it.

3. Ruby
Ruby is a blue-based red red which doesn't make my teeth look yellow. Like I've said, this balm does fade quickly, one time I was only left with red line on the outer rims of my lips.

4. Rose
Its a nice my-lips-but-better shade, its a go-to shade when you want a safe shade for any occasion.

5. Poppy
Poppy is a nice cool orange shade that brightens up my face. I think this will go well with any skin tone.

6. Wine.
Wine is a vampy shade which is more fuschia than red. This is honestly my favorite from the bunch. I got compliments when I've worn this color because it pops out and its great for corporate look. Makes you look like a strong girl and the like~ *meep*

***

The product is balm like and true its name "Moisture Boost" because its truly moisturizing and there is no need for an extra balm underneath unless you have badly chapped lips. However despite the moisture factor, the color did not suffer. The color is vibrant and pigmented! Its very creamy and glossy similar to creme sheen lipsticks. The color is buildable, it can be sheer or opaque depends on the application. Because of the creamy texture, Silkygirl Moisture Boost Lipcolor balm is hydrating but not long-wearing. On the lips its light like you are even wearing any product at all. Its not transfer proof though. After eating or drinking you will need to reapply.

How much and where to buy?
P279 per tube. This was sent to me for review but I am yet to check if they already have this at Silkygirl kiosks.

What I love
  • Moisturizing - no need for extra balm
  • 2 in 1 product
  • Color stays true to the tube
  • Easy to use
  • Nice color selection
  • Buildable color
  • Creamy texture
  • No fragrance
  • No paraben
What I don't
  • Not long wearing
  • Reapplication is a must after eating or drinking

Will I repurchase?
Yes but only my favorite shades! (coral and wine red)

Overall~
I recommend SILKYGIRL Moisture Boost Lipcolor Balm to  I recommend this to girls on the go who wants a product that they can use when they are in a hurry. It can hydrate your lips because its a balm but it can also give an opaque color like lipsticks. Its also light like you are not wearing any product at all. The only downside maybe is the longevity, this is a make or break I know, however this very easy to use so I don't really mind reapplication. If you are looking for a lip product that won't break the bank and is safe for daily use, I give Silkygirl a thumbs up.

Review: SILKYWHITE BB 2-Way Foundation

When it comes to face powder foundation I stick to just one brand if it works on me. Usual qualifications for an 'it' foundation for me is that it should: withstand Manila's humid weather, melts to a glowing finish, won't cake and with SPF protection. So with that being said, my favorite right now is Silkywhite BB 2-way foundation.


What is it?
Silky girl says:
Your ALL-IN-ONE solutions for smooth, perfect skin. This BB powder + foundation is enriched with Vitamin C and natural whitening extract for fairer skin. It contains kernel butter to nourish and moisturize the skin; plus Silica will absorb excess sebum to provide a matte finish. The powder is suitable for all skin types and you can opt for either a medium or full coverage with its dry or wet method or application.

SPF 20/PA+ 
All-in-One
Brighten skin tone 
All-day wear 
Formulated for Asian skin

It does contain paraben.

Experience
Asian skin tones have more of yellow or golden undertones rather than pink so its good to buy foundations made for asian skin. Silkygirl is an asian brand and they have about 4 shades available. I chose the lightest shade - 01 because I am acidic which means most of the makeup I use tend to oxidize and leave my face a shade darker than my actual color. The foundation is not powdery, and lives up to its name because its indeed silky to touch. It has no scent or whatsoever and its glides smoothly on the skin.



On my face.. I actually over applied teehee but I think it evened out my skin tone well and brightens up my complexion. Silkywhite foundation is yellow based and it blends to the skin after a few minutes. The finish is matte but not flat on reality. It gives me medium to full coverage. It hides pores and it doesn't highlight dry patches. For redness and dark spots, I still use a concealer.

Just for testing purposes I've also tried using a wet sponge to apply the foundation on bare face. It looks nice and the finish is more even compared to using it dry. It doesn't cake at all, granted that you use a non-sticky base of course.

I apply it using the sponge included in the refill and its not cheap at all. The sponge is soft and it doesn't tear apart easily like the ones sold in other refill foundie I know. You can also use brush but the coverage will be sheer. I usually apply it dry - on top of my bb cream. I find that applying powder foundation over liquid bb or foundation gives a better flawless result.



How much and where to buy? 
P169 for the refill. Last sales, they offered it for a very special price of only P90!

What I love
  • Affordable
  • Flawless finish
  • Melts to a glowing look 
  • SPF 20/PA+ 
  • All-in-One
  • Brightens skin tone 
  • All-day wear 
  • Formulated for Asian skin
What I don't 
Nothing I can mention

TIPS 
Brush for sheer coverage
Use of top of bb or liquid foundation for extra coverage

Will I repurchase? ~
Yes I've already finished 4 of this already!

Overall~
Pyong!~ The Silkywhite bb 2-way foundation is a big thumbs up! I am nearly finish with my powder again and I am surely buying another one.
