MWS Picks Budget Beauty No. 2: 5 more things I love that cost under RM50

November 21, 2012 Paris B 49 Comments

budget buys under RM50

Some of you may remember that a while ago, I did a post where I picked 10 things I loved that cost under RM50. I had good fun doing it, because it reminds me that even as I traipse amongst the hallowed beauty halls of department store beauty, there are some gems to be found in the pharmacies, and for a good price. I hope to share my budget beauty faves with you so this will be a recurring series, as it were 🙂

Every now and again, I’ll pick a couple of my favourite budget beauty products and share them with you. Today, I pick out 5 more items I love. With gift giving season fast approaching, these wallet friendly items make great gifts, won’t break the bank and importantly, they WORK! 🙂

budget buys under RM50

Its quite an assorted bunch this time around.

  1. Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters (RM25) (Read the Review here and here) – The Revlon Lip Butters are almost cult-like in the fervour with which people collect these. Moisturizing like a lip balm, yet with nice sheer pigmented colour, the Lip Butters are by far, Revlon’s most popular lip products to date.
  2. Human Nature Natural Moisturizing Shampoo & Conditioner (RM39.90/500ml) (Read the Review) – After I finished up the sample I was sent, I ordered the large sized bottles of both the shampoo and conditioner (not pictured). They work very well for my hair, it is excellent value, my sensitive hands do not react, its natural and I plan to stick with this until such time it no longer works. I’m already more than halfway through these!
  3. Revlon Matte Powder blush (RM42) (Read the review) – I come back to this one now and again. Its a lovely matte blush and Perfectly Peach is a lovely barely there colour on skin that just gives the right amount of colour. This is actually my second one. Yeah, that’s how much I like it!
  4. Kose Softymo Cleansing Oil (HKD45 ~ RM17) (Read the review) – Ok I cheated with this one which is unavailable in Malaysia at time of writing. I pick mine up from Hong Kong, either when I go or through friends who go there. I’ve been using it for years, alternating it with pricier ones, but quite happy to stick with this, if I had the access to it locally.
  5. Yves Rocher Hydra Vegetal Refreshing Gel Cleanser (RM49/125ml) – I haven’t written a review for this one but you can expect it soon. It is a non drying gel cleanser that smells refreshingly green, and makes skin feel very comfortable after washing. I use it in the mornings and its a nice face cleanser to wake up to.

Have you tried any of the 5 budget beauty products I’ve featured here? Have you found anything good and cheap lately?

I come across gems now and again but I haven’t been trawling the pharmacies a lot lately. RM50 isn’t a lot but it can snag you some goodies 😉

    Really dying to try Yves Rocher – I don’t need more cleansers, I’m running out of counter space!

      The cleanser is not bad for the price coz you don’t need a lot, but I am really happy with the Hydra Vegetal serum and gel cream. My skin seems to really like it. Do you get YR in Australia?

      • LeGeeque says

        November 21, 2012 at 9:51 am

        I doubt we get it here. It’s so hard for non-Australian brands to penetrate the market. They’re highly-protective of local brands, understandably. I’ll check it out and tell you if I see any!

        I’m really loving the Hydra Vegetal cleanser and serum too! Smells lovely and fresh and not sticky too! What a great buy! Thanks for recommending it. 🙂

        P/S: They’re currently running a promo – great discounts!

    I love the Kose Softymo and like you, I pick it up if I were in HK or if any of my friends were dropping by there. It’s my staple make up remover. I do wish that it’s available here though.

    Great picks! Always a fan of Revlon….reliable and good. I keep seeing Kose Softymo Cleansing Oil in blogs but when I checked it out at the drugstore here in Tokyo, the first ingredient is mineral oil. Should it matter since it is a rinse off product?

    Reply
    • Paris B says

      November 24, 2012 at 12:31 am

      Glad you think so! I think Revlon is very strong in their base and lip products but they do still need to work on their eye stuff 🙂 I never knew what the ingredients were because they were all in Japanese, but I think if your skin is sensitive to mineral oil then better not try it. Mine isn’t so it works for me, but Shu Uemura doesn’t 🙂

      • Beauty Box says

        November 24, 2012 at 12:24 pm

        Appreciate your reply 🙂 My skin actually likes Shu Uemura though I do find the fragrance a bit strong. I like it because it takes everything off, including stubborn Japanese mascara. I do remember that Shu Uemura has mineral oil in its blend. The Kose Softymo Cleansing Oil ingredients list in English can be found here if you are interested: http://www.ratzillacosme.com/2009/softymo-white-cleansing-oil-n/ It has rice bran oil – how interesting!

    Yes I have tried 1 and 3. Love them! Will try the softymo one because we can get in boots here. There’s this thai local brand called Oriental Princess that try to be Body Shop. Their luxurious eyeliner is not bad. Trendy things like kajal eyeliner is available too. Good and cheap. 🙂

    I used to use Kose’s cleansing oil it was very nice but I no longer have access to Kose or any other Asian brand, which is very sad 🙁 I am really missing them..

    By the way I am getting very anxious about Revlon’s lip butters, I believe Revlon is the only drugstore brand that I am excited about (or maybe because it is the only one I can get to!)

      November 24, 2012 at 10:31 pm

      Oh dear, I’m sorry to hear you no longer have access to your cleansing oils 🙁 Have the lip butters arrived in your country yet? I hope they arrive soon if they haven’t 🙂 they’re nice.

        Sadly no. Revlon is one of the brands that is unreachable here in Turkey. I do believe when I’m like 12 or something Revlon was an accessable brand but not anymore, maybe they left here like Vichy in Malaysia :S

        I am hoping to see them here as soon as they can, we have rimmel london now, so why not Revlon?

    Tried Softymo after PB’s recommendation – am loving its efficacy and lemon-y smell. Best of all…love the price tag! Yay to PB!

    I also picked-up a foaming cleanser from Softymo – it’s packed in a pink palm-sized roundish bottle with a pump top – pretty good stuff too I must say.

    Can I share my 5 too?

    Maybelline Hypersharp liner (currently 19.90RM on sale in Watson’s I think)
    Shiseido Tsubaki haircare (RM55.90-56.90 for the value set now.. shampoo and conditioner 550ml each, so one bottle is less than RM50)
    L’oreal Infallible eyeshadows (available in Singapore for less than S$20)
    Heroine Make mascaras – I love Long & Curl (have not tried the others)
    Majolica Majorca mascaras – Lash Expander Frame Plus (have not tried the others)

    Yay, another wallet friendly blush to try – Revlon Matte Powder blush. I’m increasingly comfortable with the Silkygirl one, too bad it’s limited edition. I was contemplating to get Benefit Coralista or Sleek Rose Gold since I have been consistently using blush daily to work. I am so drawn to Rose Gold by looking at online swatches but with both cheeks covered with acne scars, the gold glitter may not be a good thing. Matte blush might work better I suppose.

    If you’re ever in Singapore, you can actually buy the Softymo cleansing oil from the Nishino Pharmacy at Liang Court! There’s another Nishino outlet in the basement of Isetan Scotts too, but I’ve no idea if the product’s available there, sorry!

#mykiehls wraps their popular products in special packaging designed by Janine Rewell for the Holiday season. I love the scent of the lavender soap! It’s so strong! I’d keep it in my clothes drawer or cupboard to scent it though. It smells amazing!!
.
.
Also, Kiehl’s is taking a step towards being a sustainable brand by using fair trade and sustainable ingredients and packaging. Bring back 4 Kiehl’s product packaging to their stores and you’ll get a deluxe sample in return! Perfect for all #kiehls fans! .
. 
What’s your fave Kiehl’s product? I’m a bit out of touch with the brand to be honest. Didn’t realise quite a few new things have been released. In the past, I liked the Midnight Recovery Oil & the Powerful Line Recovery Concentrate serum. Good stuff! What’s yours? 😉
