Sulwhasoo as everyone know is a well-known Korean skincare brand. Now the brand takes K-Beauty up a notch with the launch of its K-Beauty Makeup Collection. Korean beauty trend has always been adopting that dewy glow and natural radiance from within. The same concept are instilled in its makeup collection for a no makeup makeup look. However Korean version of no makeup makeup look is different from the US. Sulwhasoo are gravitating more to natural dewy flawless skin with a tinge of radiant colour.
A lot of us are not aware that Sisley has been present in Malaysia for quite some time. I remember when I first started dipping my toes in beauty blogging, Maybank credit card was kind enough to have a few sampling exercise. It was not just any ordinary sachet sample redemption but what I get was a whole complete deluxe size trial kit in a pouch worth RM150, if I’m not mistaken. This generous redemption happened not just once but two to three times! 😀 . That is how I got to know the brand Sisley. I had a good first impression on the brand as the beauty advisor did not hard-sell their products during the redemption. Usually brand like this attracts me more to ask and fiddle with the products.
Fast forward to four years later, today, Sisley Malaysia had its first ever blogger get-together two months ago. It was a good one as we get to see, smell, and trial some Sisley skincare products as well as their makeup. Specifically the Phyto-Eye Twist and Phyto-Lip Twist. I have been wearing these two product frequently. It is fast and easy to use makeup products.
Mamonde, a leading global premium cosmetic brand fully imported from South Korea is scheduled to be launched in Malaysia this coming August 2016 with its first beauty counter in Aeon Bandar Utama. Mamonde will be the latest skincare brand under leading cosmetic company, AmorePacific Malaysia’s umbrella.
The word Mamonde is the french word for My World. It is a beauty brand that offers quite a wide selection of skincare and makeup products. Price are pretty affordable. Let me just warn you. It is priced at the lower price than Laneige. Say between RM6 to RM169?
Mamonde’s skincare uses flowers as its key ingredients formulation. It is the first of its kind in the market for this formulation. Why flowers? It is said that blossoming flower together with its scent and colours naturally emits a inherent vitality and surging energy that is able to change one mood and calms the heart. Therefore an intensive research and development was done at AmorePacific Research Institute, uncovering the link between flowers and woman’s beauty. These research was done on various types of flowers, from the root to the stem up to the flower petals. Flowers contain moisturizing properties and skin nourishing ingredients that not only provide moisturization to the skin but also to balance oil production.
Each Mamonde skincare range uses different flower as its key ingredient. They are five main range with five different key flower ingredient and functions.
Honeysuckle, an enduring winter flower is widely grown on the mountains and in the forests. The blossoms are white but gradually turn yellow with age.
Hibiscus blooms beautifully under sunshine on summer days. Each hibiscus shrub is capable of growing up to 5,000 trumpet-shaped flowers over a long season.
Narcissus grows and blooms in bunches by the sea, revealing its pure and elegant beauty especially when clustered.
Lotus breathes as the sun rises and anchors itself firmly on a puddle of mud. The deep, noble scent that travels in wind is sure to attract you.
Camellia is a flower capable of enduring long winter is adaptable even in the ocean. The flower is also capable of preserving its intoxicating scent regardless of its surrounding.
Mamonde aims to bring women’s beauty into a bloom through the eyes of nature and wisdom found in the flowers’ vitality, which is now available in their products. Lookout for Mamonde first ever beauty counter this August 2016 in Aeon Bandar Utama 😀

Let’s talk about something else today instead of another beauty product review. Since I started #IWillBeOkay ‘Fight Against Depression’ Awareness Campaign, I have been lectured so much about social media in the short one week compared to half of my life. No kidding. It was a good lecture. That got me to do some digging and maybe just a little bit of fine tuning on social media posting. Having to come from advertising and social media background, obviously I know what I was doing but I always have a quirky idea when it comes to social media. In the advertising industry, I am known as someone who do things creatively different. I don’t do things the conventional way. Advertising people ought to keep changing and create out of the norm ideas. But because I am also a blogger and an editor, I tend to do lengthy post. Social media on the other hand needed to be short.
When I received a beautiful box from Yves Rocher quite some time ago, I opened it up and saw a note – This Will Change The Way You Wash Your Hair Forever. The first impression I had was “sure or not?”. Then it turned to “really?”. And, finally after I flipped through the products inside the box, I was “whoa this is interesting”. So yes, I went through three stages of impression at the same time 😀 . One excited blogger I am!
