Hollaback at Hollaface Hydra Concentrate Youth Serum for a nice hydration boost to skin!

May 9, 2022 Paris B 1 Comment

We’ve seen a spate of local (Malaysian) skincare brands popping up in recent years, which I think is great. We seem to be slowly moving away from dodgy brands with dubious ingredients, to brands with actual, proper ingredients, which is positive growth.

I was recently offered the opportunity to try the Hollaface Hydra Concentrate Youth Serum, and it took me a while to dig into the brand before I decided to have a go.

I do that with brands I’m unfamiliar with. I dig into the website, the ingredients, the products they have, and I like to see what impression it leaves me with.

Hollaface left me with quite a positive impression, I must say. The brand itself is quite simple, with a small selection of products available. The focus seems to be on quality, with their products being simple yet packed with effective ingredients, with the buzzwords of today – hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, alpha arbutin etc.

As I said, it’s nice to see a home-grown brand that is focused on proper ingredients 🙂

Inspired by laser treatments and skin peels, the Filorga Skin-Unify Intensive Illuminating serum does what it promises on the bottle

I don’t usually use any skincare product that promises brightening or illuminating properties anymore, ever since I started using Vitamin C serums. They do all of that, and don’t dry out my skin, while most brightening or illuminating products do (in my experience).

However, when presented with the Filorga Skin-Unify Intensive Illuminating serum, I decided to make a wee exception, for selfish reasons – I generally like Filorga products!

Let’s just say that I wasn’t sure what to expect, but that I really liked my experience with this serum, and it does do what it says on the bottle, without drying out the skin 🙂

Natural, Vegan and Pure Molten Gold – The Antipodes Glow Ritual Vitamin C Serum ticks all the right boxes!

April 11, 2022 Paris B 1 Comment

Since being introduced to Antipodes Skincare back in 2012, I’d watched the brand grow, with a lot of interest. It’s a brand of skincare that I particularly enjoy using, and one of very few organic and natural skincare brands that I have no hesitation telling people about, simply because it does the job, and then some!

They’ve introduced quite a few new products in recent times, and one that piqued by interest was the Antipodes Glow Ritual Vitamin C Serum. We all know how I am about a Vitamin C serum! I’m mad for them!

What interested me more than another new Vitamin C serum, was that the Antipodes Glow Ritual Vitamin C Serum is made from a natural source of Vitamin C – kakadu plum.

I was a little sceptical if it’s better than chemically derived Vitamin C, I must admit, but in my books, anything from one of my favourite brands is worth a try! 🙂

Beauty hors d’oeuvres: No. 1 de Chanel – a new eco-responsible range with revitalizing Red Camellia Extract

March 24, 2022 Paris B 27 Comments

A new product range from any brand always gets me a little excited. This more so, when it’s from a big luxury brand in the market like Chanel. Most luxury brands are a little more set in their ways, and a little slower to change, so when No. 1 de Chanel was launched, in a rather low-key manner in early 2022, like a whisper through the world of beauty, I was intrigued.

No. 1 de Chanel is a rather compact range for now, with a focus on the skin, in the form of skincare and minimal makeup, and scent – what Chanel is well-known for. I’d be curious to see if it expands further! 🙂

I was fortunate to be given a little insight into some products in the No. 1 de Chanel range. However, if you’re curious about the skincare products in the range, and whether they are something you might like, keep reading – I might make it worth your while 😉
