Price doesn’t always guarantee efficacious and dependable beauty products! Although we definitely are guilty of indulging in the finer and lux collections of skincare and make-up, there are some products out there that are incredibly impressive, all whilst under RM100! Here, we round up our more budget beauty finds that are currently in our rotation for the month of September.
Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush
RM98
A couple of dabs on each cheek is all you’ll need for a soft, rosy complexion that stays in place and lasts all day. We’ve been so impressed with the longevity of the Soft Pinch Liquid Blush—especially in our hot and humid climate—it does not budge at all. The ease and blendability of its formula makes it perfect for those who are novices or who wish to try a liquid blush because it is truly fail-proof.
Aesop Geranium Rinse-Free Hand Wash
RM35
Hand sanitizers have become an absolute essential given the current circumstances. One of our top picks, and one we’ve repurchased multiple times since the COVID era is the Aesop Geranium Rinse-Free Hand Wash. It cleanses and rids hands germs effectively without the need for water!
L’Occitane Almond Shower Scrub
RM98
If you’re a big fan of the cult favourite L’Occitane Almond scent, try their Shower Scrub option for a luxurious exfoliating treatment. Enriched with crushed almond shells and sweet almond oil, it gently cleanses and exfoliates the body to remove impurities and dead skin cells, to reveal soft, supple skin.
Nudestix Hydra-Peptide Lip Butter
RM80
Avocado and shea butters power this new ultra-moisturising lip butter. It keeps chapped and flaky lips at bay as its nourishing formula provides all-day hydration to the lips.
Dr Jart+ Ctrl-A Teatreement™ Toner
A toner that will aid and not irritate acne-prone skin, this Dr Jart+ Ctrl-A Teatreement™ toner is smartly formulated to soothe, reduce redness and instantly moisturise congested, combination skin. It works to remove excess and unwanted dirt, debri and oils, without disturbing the rest of the skin barrier.
Selfless by Hyram Centella and Green Tea Daily Gel Cleanser
This pH balancing cleanser has a refreshing gel formulation that deeply cleanses the skin without stripping its moisture barrier. At its heart is centella and green tea, which helps to calm redness, sensitivity and irritation too.
Everyday Humans Oh My Bod! SPF50 Body Sunscreen
SPF is a total must! and this one from Everyday Humans is one of our favourites as it not only protects the skin from UVA/UVB rays, but also other environmental stressors like pollution and smog. Ideal for everyday wear, it is incredibly quick absorbing into the skin, and doesn’t leave a greasy or sticky feel. Infused with hyaluronic acid as well, it works overtime to not only protect, but hydrate the skin too!
ONE/SIZE Point Made Liquid Eyeliner Pen
Now that lockdown restrictions are starting to ease up, we’re relying on this eyeliner pen to keep our liner looking on-point, all day. Waterproof and promising 24-hour wear, trust that this liner will stay in place and won’t fade, flake, bleed, or smudge.
Kiehl’s Cactus Flower & Tibetan Ginseng Hydrating Mist
With constant exposure to dry air through our air conditioning, a face mist is an absolute must in our routine! Kiehl’s Cactus Flower & Tibetan Ginseng Hydrating mist is our deskside companion to keep skin hydrated throughout the day.
