If you're like me who love to use makeup sponges to blend products instead of using brushes, gurlll (or guys) I know your struggle when it comes to keeping it clean! I love to use baby shampoo to clean my makeup brushes, but unfortunately baby shampoo does not clean makeup sponges and puffs very well.


I saw this detergent for puff and sponge from Daiso and decided to give it a try. It has been a life saver ever since. Or money saver. haha. 



The product claims to be fragrance-free and contains no pigment, which is very true. I couldn't smell anything when I pour the detergent on my hand. It comes out as a clear runny liquid. The direction to use it is pretty straightforward. You just pour a little amount of the detergent onto your dry sponge, give it a little rub into the sponge and wash it off under running water. 


The detergent is not super foamy when in mixed with water, but it still gets the job done very well. I can clearly see all the foundation, bb cream, concealer and cream blushes just run down into the sink and it is super satisfying lol. I made sure to really wring out any excess detergent by giving it a good few squeezes under running water before drying it.

And tadah! My marshmallow sponge is back looking as good as new! I am sorry if you're grossed out by how dirty my makeup sponge is. Don't worry it is super clean now haha! So next time before you decide to replace your makeup sponges and puffs with a new one, try this detergent instead.




It actually works pretty well with makeup brushes too. But I wouldn't really recommend using it for high quality brushes as the detergent is quite drying, it may affect the quality of the bristles of your lovely brushes. As you can see from the pictures above, it does a pretty good job at cleaning most of the makeup products off my brushes, but there are some brushes that still aren't completely clean, even after several rinses with the detergent and water. So I would still opt for baby shampoo for my makeup brushes.

For RM5.30, (Including gst) I think this is a great product. The only downside is like I said, it is a little drying. I mean, it is a detergent after all. So you wanna make sure that you use a glove or just lather a good moisturizer to your hands afterwards. Thank you for reading!

I was disappointed when I went to the new Sephora outlet in KLCC and still couldn't get my hands on the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Stockholm because they are always sold out, until I found this baby at Guardian.

Matte lipsticks are so in right now, and I am all about it. I just find myself look  a lot more put together when having lipsticks with matte finish on rather than glossy ones. So I am so happy when I saw these new lip creams carried by Silkygirl because we all know that their products are very affordable for the quality.

The Matte Junkie Lip Cream comes in 5 shades ; Retro, Glamour, Rebel, Vintage and Vixen. I got one in Retro because I need a new lipstick that is not red. I've got too much red already it is time for me try something new lol.


It comes with the doe foot applicator that dispense just the right amount of product for both of my top and bottom lips. Easy breezy application, that's all what I have to say about it.


As you can see from the swatch on my hand above, the color pay off is AMAZING! Very pigmented with full coverage on the lips. And the color is absolutely beautiful too, it looks a little pinkish once it is set, but actually its more on the orange tint when applied on the lips, just like in the picture where it is freshly applied. It only took seconds to set and becomes matte and after that, it wont budge or even move.

It is very long lasting on the lips as well. I had Nasi Ayam as lunch with chocolate ice cream as dessert, and most of the lip cream still stay put without giving any weird blotchy patches or anything. I'm still good to go without reapplying the lip cream if I don't want to. Like any other lip creams, you do need to make sure that your lips are well moisturized before you apply this lip creams.  I find that it is not as drying as NYX's SMLC, but obviously it will not look good if you start off with a dried lips.


And here am I, not having to worry about my lips while having this delicious waffle by Madame Waffle. Even my Biore water based make up remover needs to take its time to dissolve the lip cream. You can get this lip cream at Guardian for RM21 or cheaper during sales. I got mine for 18.90 during Labour Day Promotion.Will definitely get out and buy the other colors after this. (Still wondering why Watsons don't carry in this amazing lip creams though) Update : Watsons already starts selling these babies and they are selling fast! So if you encountered one do not hesitate. Just grab it because dia macam pisang goreng panas okay!

Pros :

  • Beautiful colors
  • Very pigmented
  • Long wearing
  • Affordable
Cons :
  • Totally none!
Rate : 5/5
