Silkygirl Matte Junkie Lip Cream. Top, 01 Retro. Bottom, 04 Vintage.

With brands coming out left and right with their own version of matte liquid lipsticks, this matte lip trend is far away from ending. It's about time for local brand Silkygirl to join in the craze and give us their take on the mass favourite lip product. They have a total of 5 colour selections and this review here is only on the two colours I purchased.

Silkygirl Matte Junkie Lip Cream. Top, 01 Retro. Bottom, 04 Vintage.

Formula: Light, whipped mousse-y texture similar to the Soft Matte Lip Creams from NYX, thus very comfortable to wear. Like most lip products with whipped mousse-y texture, they tend to be comfortable on the lips. They do not dry out your lips so your lips won't be looking like a sad prune (but I advise to always use a lip balm prior to using ANY matte formulas, your lips will thank you).

Application: Both of the colours apply a bit streaky. I applied two layers to get even application on my lips. I would suggests a thin application first, and then another layer on top for full on colour.

Longevity: Does not transfer and lasts long! It made it through lunch and several cups of coffee.

Colours: Total of 5 colour selections. 01 Retro is a muted terracotta with a slight pink undertone. 04 is   a medium toned dusty rose. All of the colours seem to have a muted/pastel undertone.

Price: RM 18-20

Final thougts: If you are a newbie in matte liquid lipsticks, I would definitely suggest you to try out these because of the accessibility and quality. It may not have a huge range of colour selection but it is nothing that you cannot work with.

My favourite product from Colourpop is hands down the Lippie Stix in matte formula. To be completely honest, I have only tried their matte formula, thus I cannot compare between the finishes and they have several others including glossy, satin and sheer among them. Here I have a quick review on my thoughts of this product and also some swatches.

Brand: Colourpop
Product: Lippie Stix (Matte)
Formula: Matte, but although marketed as so, I find it does not dry down to a true matte, more of
a velvety finish. The formula is very comfortable and hydrating unlike the usual matte lipsticks which are commonly formulated to be lack of moisture, thus this gives the lipstick a slight sheen when first applied.
Application: Opaque, one swipe is all it takes

Colour selection: It goes above and beyond your wildest dreams, the colour selection can be overwhelming that it took me a good amount of time to decide on colours to try.

Now I just wish that Colourpop ships internationally because their lippies are just so good. Based on the current RM to USD,  personal shoppers often price the lippies at RM 35 (7USD) a pop. Overall, it is still an affordable price tag if you compare to lipsticks from drugstore brands (Maybelline, Revlon etc) in Malaysia which ranges from RM30-40. I do not have anything bad to say about this product, I highly recommend it and good luck in choosing colours, you will be spoiled. Until next time!
