Velvet Vanity Cosmetics is a locally owned beauty company here in Malaysia and I’m always, always up to trying local products because it’s 2020 and we have come a long way from those shady, ready-to-label, wholesale-buy-in-bulk skincare and cosmetics that seemed to take over the beauty community some years ago. Velvet Vanity is famous for their liquid lipsticks but sadly to say I haven’t tried any of it yet. The Pucker for You (Glossy Glo Lip Oil) is my entrée into the brand and I’m really excited because I love everything glossy. The GGLO is a lip care for chapped lips, non-sticky, works like skincare and gives you a glossy finish. Kind of like a treatment lip gloss. It retails for RM49.90 for 2 glosses in the shade crystal clear (self-explanatory, it’s a clear gloss) and hotshot (with a hint of pink). Each gloss is 2.2ml. This product is cruelty-free, vegan, paraben-free, and fragrance-free! The ingredient: Poyglyceryl-2 Isostearate/Dimer Dilinoleate Copolymer, Dimer Dilinoleyl Dimer Dilinoleate, C15-19 Alkane, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran …

I gotta admit, I am one of those people who get sucked into new products I accumulate that I completely forgot about my old ones, resulting in them not being use for months — or even years — but it’s all coming to an end now. I started using my old products again and I can’t believe why I stopped using them because they’re that good. Here’s to finding little joys in old products! Maybelline Superstay 24H Full Coverage Foundation I remember loving this one over Fit Me foundation matte + poreless, and I honestly can’t remember why I stopped using this. It’s almost as good as my Estée Lauder Double Wear although the Double Wear gives me a little bit more flawless finish. However, for the price, I can’t complain. It’s 1/4 of the price of Double Wear and if you’re one to wear medium to full coverage foundation to work or class everyday, then I highly recommend this. However, I did get one or two tiny bumps every time I wore this foundation. …

I have been a lifelong fan of the Bioré UV Perfect Protect Milk Moisture and along the way I have tried a couple more sunscreens but none have tackled my heart as much as the Bioré one did. But I’ve heard glowing reviews among skincare enthusiasts that the 3W Clinic Intensive UV Sunblock Cream is super good so I just had to give it a try. I bought mine on Shopee from a shop called ippuni for RM12.60 but you can always get it cheaper. Here’s the link to the product. It comes in a 70 ml tube with a nozzle cap that disperse just the right amount of product, not too much and not too little.
