The Clarins Plant Gold Nutri-Revitalizing Oil-Emulsion deserves a bright shiny gold star!

I’m not sure why I have been so tardy about sharing my thoughts on the Clarins Plant Gold Nutri-Revitalizing Oil-Emulsion. Goodness knows, I thoroughly enjoyed it! 😛

Plant Gold is a product I don’t hear or see people talk about often, which begs the question why. It is at once an oil-emulsion serum for drier skin types, or a moisturiser, if that’s all your skin can take. One pump, and you get a lovely facial oil and emulsion moisturiser in one, saving you a whole step of skincare, and delivering some plant goodness to boot!

Trying a local brand and an interesting new facial oil in the Root Remedies Black Seed Oil

I kept seeing Instagram ads for a local brand Roots Remedies, to the point that I was intrigued. I guess you could say that ads work eh?

What really intrigued me was the fact that Root Remedies is a local Malaysian brand, and they had beautiful, minimalist aesthetics, that is so in right now.

One day, while in Bangsar (when we could walk around and dine indoors even with restrictions), I chanced upon their store. Yep, they aren’t only sold online, but in a physical store too. It is a beautiful store, with a very minimalist look and feel and a very soothing place to be in (albeit a little warm from the sun).

After browsing a little, I decided to pick up an item or two to try. When I polled Instagram, I found reviews to be rather mixed on the brand so I thought it would be interesting to have a go myself. Their range of facial oils intrigued me (I love me a good facial oil!) so that’s what I went for – the Root Remedies Black Seed Oil.

For a moisturizing, radiant glow, I gave the Sunday Riley CEO Glow Vitamin C + Turmeric Face Oil a shot!

I love me a good facial oil, and anything with Vitamin C. And I also thoroughly enjoyed using the Sunday Riley CEO Vitamin C Serum. One of the complementary items in the CEO range was the Sunday Riley CEO Glow Vitamin C + Turmeric Face Oil, and when I bought my trial kit a while ago, a deluxe sample size came with it.

I believe Sunday Riley had the CEO Glow Vitamin C + Turmeric Face Oil first, before they came out with the Vitamin C serum. It was one of those things I’d been meaning to try for the longest time.

Now that I have, was it worth the wait? 😀

I’m assured that no elephants were hurt in making the Drunk Elephant Virgin Marula Luxury Facial Oil

I first tried the Drunk Elephant Virgin Marula Luxury Facial Oil in a trial pack duo I purchased online one Christmas (back in the day before it was available here). They still do those little kits sets, which is a good (and more affordable) way to try products from this cult status brand.

I later received a full-sized bottle of the Virgin Marula Luxury Facial Oil in a press kit, and was able to try it for a little longer.

And I’m going to tell you that this is a very nice little bottle of oil!
