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! 🙂

New! Yves Rocher Hydra Vegétal : Moisture Skincare derived from Botanical Sap

Paris B 64 Comments

Alrighty! Hands up whoever has tried Yves Rocher products?

You can’t see it, but I have my hand firmly DOWN because you know what? I’ve never tried anything from the brand. I didn’t even know where to find a Yves Rocher store in the city until recently! (Fahrenheit 88 mall btw) The thing is, I had seen the store before in some of the outlying malls a few years ago, but I’d never wandered in because it says Yves Rocher – France and it was so well laid out, I had it in my head that it was expensive. France, you know…

So it was with great surprise that I found out quite recently, that it isn’t. It in fact, could be considered pretty affordable, if not outright cheap for a brand of skincare that is said to be the No. 1 selling brand in France. Ladies from France, please confirm this? 😉

yves rocher hydra vegetal skincare range

Yves Rocher has recently launched a new botanical skincare line worldwide called Hydra Vegétal and with a name like that, and the soothing light blue packaging, you just know that its all about moisture. You’d be right too!

Yves Rocher as a brand focuses on the use of botanical ingredients in their skincare i.e. derived from plants. Hydra Vegétal harneses the active ingredients from 2 plants that live in extreme climates – the Canadian Maple Tree in the extreme cold, and the Organic Blue Agave in the arid dry deserts of Mexico – to address problems of hydration and moisture in skin. What this Hydra Vegétal range is supposed to do add  moisture into skin and lock in that moisture to help keep skin hydrated all day long.

Its quite opportune for this to appear on my horizon at this time because my skin has suddenly decided to rebel and turn dry again. Gah!

Insta-Updates: August Empties includes mascara!

Paris B 27 Comments

I honestly thought I’d only ever finish up anything or have any empties to share once every 2 months. It turns out that in recent times, I’m finishing up or tossing stuff as I go along so we actually have empties for July and now August!

This month’s empties have been a bit of a wallet buster and in the process I’ve also gotten rid of some mascara, one of which has served me well and the others of which I wasn’t terribly crazy about. Here’s a quick run down of them.
