Drugstore Lipstick Haul: SilkyGirl, Revlon & Maybelline

Hello my dear readers, welcome back to my blog! Yes, I do know that my last update was way back in April but life has been one heck of a ride for the past 2-3 months. The most exciting thing that happened was travelling to Cambodia, though that story is for another day.

For now, I'll be showing you my most recent lipstick haul from the drugstore brands SilkyGirl, Revlon & Maybelline. These lipsticks are new additions to their respective collections so lets get into it!

SilkyGirl Matte Junkie Lip Cream

The Matte Junkie Lip Creams come in 5 different shades but I picked out these 3 because I knew they would be most wearable and tbh more suitable for me. The shades I got were Retro, Glamour & Vintage. Basically what they are liquid lipsticks that dry to a full matte, which thankfully it does!

 These Matte Junkie Lip Creams are very lightweight surprisingly & comfortable too! The wear time is pretty fair, I would be left with a thin layer of the lipstick after eating or drinking but it still looks nice regardless. These lipsticks do not have a scent to them, thank goodness cause I can't do scents in lipsticks. Also on the plus side, these only cost RM21.90 a pop! So affordable right? The only downside of these are that there aren't many shades, hopefully they come out with more shades soon enough.

Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor

I actually spotted these when I was in Cambodia & they were launching them there. I was very skeptical about the matte finish it was supposed to give because when I swatched them in Cambodia, it didn't dry down to a full matte finish but just a semi-matte finish. So recently I went into our local drugstore & thought y'know what, I'll just get them & I might just like them because I seriously hate lipsticks that are semi-matte or semi whatever hahahaha sorry I just can't stand it!

The Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor Liquid Lipsticks come in so many beautiful shades from nudes to berries. These do not however dry down to a full matte finish but instead a semi-matte & satin finish but I think for the benefit of not drying out the lips. They are super moisturizing & really nice on the lips. What I don't like about these are that they have this vanilla cupcake scent that is pretty sweet & makes me feel sickly though the scent does fade after awhile. Also, the lipsticks are RM35++ I think, which is kinda pricey.


Maybelline Ombre Lipstick

Maybelline does one of my most favorite lipsticks which is their Vivid Matte so I was all for trying this new lipstick out. As you can see, there are 3 tones to it so it would create an ombre effect which has been on the rage ever since K-Pop stars had been rocking this kind of look. When I swatched them, picking out the colors to get, they were super pretty but I only bought one because these kinds of things were pretty gimmicky to me.

FYI, I have no idea what the actual name of the lipstick is because it's not anywhere online so... HEHE

Maybelline Ombre Lipstick in RD01

I'll be real & totally honest here because I believe in giving you lot my honest opinion. I was kinda let down because I was expecting an ombre effect. Yeah it does give a pretty tint to the lips, leaving a healthy color. But it applies like a normal lipstick would & thats pretty much it. The finish is a satin finish & quite moisturizing. Another downside is that it has this cherry scent which I definitely am not a fan of. Will I be tossing this? No, I'll just make do as a backup or lazy day lipstick. The price for this lipstick is RM30.

So that's all for my drugstore lipstick haul! Have you tried any of these lipsticks? Share your thoughts with me! 

Till then,
