Store Visit: Melvita Organic Skincare at KLCC and New Naturalift Skincare range

December 13, 2011 Paris B 19 Comments

I previously told you about this new EcoCert certified organic French brand coming into Malaysia and I mentioned that the Melvita store was opening in KLCC. Well I finally had a chance to visit 🙂

melvita store klcc

The store is located in the new annexe part of KLCC next to the brand spanking new Isetan supermarket (don’t you love that supermarket? I do! They price things higher now, so I feel a bit like a pauper in there, but I like wandering the aisles – that’s free 😛 ) and opposite Uniqlo KLCC. You can’t miss the green entrance, which I’m told, is a signature colour of all Melvita stores – gingko leaf green I’m told.

When I was first introduced to the brand, I only knew about the facial products and beauty oils. Little did I know just how comprehensive the products Melvita has for the whole body and for the whole family down to the little ones!

Melvita is a certified organic brand so those who are into organic skincare will find it very heartening to know that you can be organic from head to toe using their products.

melvita store

There is a good list of what they do not contain, and I thought it interesting to note they have “no silicone”. So if you have a sensitivity to silicone in skincare, hey! You now have an option to turn to! I must say however, that prices of the products surprised me.

They aren’t as pricey as I thought they would be!

Granted, it is still pricier than something out of a pharmacy, but its more affordable than something from a department store, and affordable for certified organic skincare. I was interested in the bath and body products though – I love my bath and body stuff – but I did find the pricing a little high for those. That said, pricing is quite a personal thing and I am a little more willing to splurge on my face than on my body 🙂

melvita starter pack

If you aren’t sure about splashing out on the whole prodct range, try the starter kit going at RM130. You get a taster of the products and see if they suit your skin. I like that they offer a starter kit because sometimes, we just never know if a product will work and when it doesn’t, we waste money buying the full sized one. Or we are afraid to try because of the “what if”.

An interesting point to note in the Melvita store is the “Green wall” by the cashier. Those plants you see on the wall are real plants! So the air in the store feels and smells naturally fresh 🙂 There is a good range of floral waters (I’m going to rave at you about this soon) and beauty oils at relatively affordable prices so if you want to try something different for your skin, this is a good place to start to pick up beauty oils – avocado, rosehip, argan oil etc.

melvita naturalift

And new for January is an anti-aging range called Naturalift. Ok so they don’t like calling it anti-aging so its called the Youthful range, to keep you looking youthful 🙂 The prices in this range will be higher than the regular ranges (as per usual for anti-aging skincare), but the results promise to be better too. Key ingredients are oligo peptides extracted from Hibiscus seeds, blended with Alpine Buddleia and Wild Beech Buds and it is meant for hydration, firming and lifting the skin. Based on the samples I tested on my hand, they are all non greasy, and feel lovely on the skin and are formulated for all skintypes.

Did I hear a groan rise up from all of you when I mentioned KLCC? Did you think “Oh gawd! The traffic there KILLS ME!” Well you’re not alone. I have refused to go anywhere remotely near that part of town because of the absolutely horrendous traffic. So, if 1 Utama is more your kind of place, you’d  be pleased to know that the Melvita 1 Utama store is now open 🙂

I do want to tell you about the Lavender Floral Water and I hope to do that really soon. If you have been cracking your head thinking of what to get for a gift for someone that is a little different, I do suggest that you take a look at the Melvita floral waters. They aren’t terribly pricey, last a long time, work a treat and make good gifts – I know I wouldn’t mind receiving one 🙂

Have you been to either Melvita store yet? Have you purchased anything or have you tried anything from the range you’d like to share quick thoughts on?

      I’m thinking its even more affordable in Europe – the floral waters are a nice thing to try 🙂

    Dropped by the 1U outlet last Saturday and came home with a bag full of organic goodness 🙂 Items purchased include the micellar toner, witch hazel floral water, BioExcellence eye cream, 2 travel sets & dinky little bottles of extraordinary water.
    Micellar toner is a wonderful French invention for cleansing sensitive skins, plus I love the Hamamelis floral water for a quick, refreshing pick-me-up!
    Looking forward to exploring the rest of Melvita’s wonderful range 😉

      Ooh thanks for sharing YZ! I’m told the extraordinary water is really good stuff but I can’t seem to get my head around it 😛 The floral water is very nice though 😀

      I know that feeling 😉 But they aren’t super pricey, well not for organic skincare at any rate. The beauty oils are quite a good deal at just over RM100+ for 50ml bottles and they have baby care stuff too! 😉

    I love Melvita 😛 Been at the KLCC store since they opened and am considered a “regular” because the salespeople there recognise me already (Oops?). Same goes with the 1U outlet- some of the salespeople from KLCC transferred over so they also recognised me 😛 The stuff really isn’t as pricey as I’d expected so it’s a good thing 🙂

    Am loving their Apicosma Moisturising Cream, Calendula Oil, Bio-Excellence Eye Contour Gel and Fondant Body Balm!

      Awesome! They should have some sort of loyalty system for you 😉 Great to know you’ve found products that work well. I’m mostly looking at the oils. Oils are generally pricey so to find oils that are affordable from a relatively reputable source is heaven sent! 😀

      I’m sure it’ll just be a matter of time before they head to Singapore, and I’m sure you’d be one of the first to know when they do! 😉

    owh btw melvita is under the same company as l’occitane. but with a friendlier price tag!

      Actually they aren’t under the same company as anyone 🙂 it just so happens that locally, the people who bring in Melvita also bring in Clarins and L’Occitane hence the confusion 😉

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜
Tell me your fave Antipdoes skincare product!

It’s my first year doing retail and honestly, I’d never been so busy! The year-end rush is unreal! But busy is good, right? At least that’s what I tell myself 😂
While I pack up gift boxes of treats for doggies 🐶 (I’ve tied so many ribbons I’ve finally started to get it right!) #loccitanemalaysia makes it easy to shop for humans 😅 at experienceloccitane.com with their L’Occitane en Demande service. Place your order, and pick up in store or have it delivered. 
Had a bit of breather today and put together a little video. Blink and miss my little monster 🐶 helping me shop! Not sponsored but I did receive a gift from L’Occitane, for which my sun-exposed, dry dog-walking skin thanks you! 
Haven’t done any Christmas shopping this year. It has only just struck me that it’s but mere days away! 😨 Have you done yours?
