Review: Silkygirl Magic BB Cream in 01 Natural, Eye liner, and Moisture Shine Lipstick

1. BB Cream in 01 Natural

I've been trying out different BB creams recently (all of which I will review soon, hehe!) and I've got one to review here today!

Product: Silkygirl Magic BB Cream in 01 Natural 

Price: RM29.90 

Made in: Thailand 

Content: 20ml 

I received this product as part of a goodie bag. This BB cream claims to be an all-in-one product where it moisturises, conceals, brightens, control shine and acts as a makeup base, to name a few. It also has SPF30/PA+++ which is definitely a plus point, although I do not rely on SPF in makeup products itself and always prefer to use a sunblock before applying makeup on my face. This BB cream is not tested on animals. 

Here's what it claims to do:-

Packaging : this BB cream comes in a light blue plastic tube packaging with a white cap and a darker blue motif design at the side. Simple packaging, nothing too fancy. It has a squeezy top with a very small hole which helps control the amount of product dispensed- I like this as it really does ensure that I do not squeeze out too much product and end up wasting it. It is also hygienic method of dispensing product and there is unlikely to be wastage of product because I can squeeze the tube to the max to get all product out. 

Here's the list of ingredients:-

Application/Texture/Consistency: The product has a cream texture which spreads and blends easily on the skin, and the texture is quite light so after applying the BB cream, I don't feel like there is anything sitting on my skin. There is no hint of dewiness in the finish, and neither is it matte, so I would best describe it as a natural finish. It dries quickly and does not leave an oily or greasy feel as well. I find the coverage to be light, because it did not conceal any of my blemishes or spots, although it did cover all redness on my face. So any blemishes of spots that need covering would do much better with a proper concealer. It also did cover and minimize the appearance of pores on my nose, but the pores on my forehead were emphasized, maybe because that is an oilier place on my face. 

Scent : This product claims to be fragrance-free; besides the typical scent that I seem to detect in all BB creams, I do agree that it is fragrance-free in the sense that it has no additional fragrance and there is no fragrance once applied on the face. 

Durability : This product lasts for approx. 4-5 hours before it fades away completely. However, it does get abit streaky throughout the day.

How I use it : I just dot the product on my forehead, cheeks, nose and chin and spread the product out using my fingers in outward and downward strokes and also bring the product down to my neck to blend it out. The shade 01 Natural unfortunately, is too dark for me. It leaves my face looking orange/brown, like I just got a suntan. Haha! =D however, it did not cause breakouts on my face, and I did not experience any redness, allergies or itchiness as a result of using this product. 

Price: At RM29.90, I think this BB cream is quite affordable and the product will last quite a while as a little goes a long way

My Thoughts

Ohhh… Dont judge this eyeliner for it’s packaging, brand and price!!~ It is really quite amazing!!~ 

What I like about this product, First off This product is indeed very long wearing. But up to 20 hours(?) I’m not too sure. But it did stay on quite well for a pretty good 16 hours. 

It is rub proof. I try my best not to rub my eyes, or even touch my face the entire day, but sometimes, I just accidentally rub my eyes without realising. AND!!~ The eyeliner stay really nicely in place~~ 

I wouldn’t say it’s totally smudge proof. But comparing it with many other brands I’ve tried, this did pretty well in the smudge proof department. It will smudge a little throughout the day, just like the swatch above, but it’s barely noticeable. 

I would say it’s pretty waterproof to me.. You know.. usually when it’s raining, it’s almost impossible to keep your face dry. I’m not usually worried about my mascara smudging or anything, since usually it’s always the eyeliner that worries me.. But.. this eyeliner works fine in that category too!!~ Well I’m not really sure about swimming with the eyeliner on, since I haven’t really tried it on.. ~ So if you’ve tried it.. Share your thoughts in the comments section down below!!~ 

Moving on that what they didn’t claim and what I’ve noticed. The application is very very easy!~ The product is not a dry pencil formula. It’s pretty creamy, and it glides onto the eyelid very well without exerting any strength! And because of that, u don’t really need a very steady hand, since all you need to focus is to draw a line, just like drawing a line with a pencil. And since it is a pencil, it is very forgiving unlike liquid eyeliner where you have to be more precise. Since the formula is really creamy, you don’t have to tug or pull your eyelids to draw the eyeliner on. It literally glides on!!

And if you make any visible mistakes, just take a wet Q-tip and quickly wipe it away before it sets on your skin. 

Summary :

PROS

1) Waterproof

2) Rub proof 

3) VERY Long wearing 

4) Smudgeproof (well kind of) 

5) Creamy formula 

6) Easy to apply 

7) No need to tug or pull the eyelids 

8) Very Affordable 

CONS 

1) May smudge a teeny bit if you have tapered eyelids. But it’s not as noticeable. 

Will I recommend this? 

YES!! This is very cheap and it works very well!!~ for students that want to start wearing makeup and don’t have that much money to spend, this is definitely the thing for you. You get a eyeliner and a makeup remover all just for RM17.90. And the quality of the product?? To me.. There’s almost nothing to complain about. 

This price is RM17.90 at our local Guardian, Watsons, and hyper and super markets. 

3. Silkygirl Moisture Shine Lipstick

Silkygirl Moisture Shine Lipsticks come in 8 shades. They are moisturizing, glossy and pigmented. Here the shades 01 shade Naked Truth and 04 shade Simply Nude are reviewed. To know more read on Silkygirl Moisture Shine Lipstick Review..

My Experience

The silkygirl moisture shine lipsticks are indeed moisturizing. They are tasteless and fragrance free. The lipstick tends to accumulate on fine lines or dry skin on lips since it has a shiny finish. The lipstick will look best when worn on moisturized lips. The product is non sticky, transfer free and settles fast on application.

Once I left one of my moisture shine lipstick tube in the car during daytime, and in the hot Malaysian weather, the lipstick melted off completely in the tube. It was a huge mess when I tried to open the tube, with lipstick sticking everywhere. Even though it melted off, the product is still usable and there is no change in it’s texture.

The Good

· Small fine shimmer particles.

· Light and moisturizing .

· Beautiful everyday shades.

The Bad

· Highlights fine lines.

My Rating : 8/10

Great everyday lipsticks with color and shine. They are very affordable too. I strongly recommend this range.
