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 🙂

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

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! 🙂

Have dry or mature skin and on a budget? Try the Pixi Rose Ceramide Cream for nourished, soft and supple skin

I’ll preface this by saying that if you have dry skin, like I do, you will absolutely LOVE the Pixi Rose Ceramide Cream, and its friendly price-tag!

I don’t say this lightly, for I must admit to not having high expectations when I first tried this, after finding a tube in my skincare stash.

To me, a moisturizer that is labeled an ‘intense moisturizer’ must come in a tub. I mean, it is intense right? That means it must be heavier in texture right? That means in should come in a tub, not tube, right?

WRONG!

And I’m never happier to be wrong! 😀

Bacteria isn’t all bad, and especially not when it’s in the Antipodes Culture Probiotic Night Recovery Water Cream

Most of you know by now what a big fan I am of Antipodes skincare. Barring one or two items in the product range, I usually love everything carried by the brand, and I look forward to new releases from them.

When I came across the new Antipodes Culture Probiotic Night Recovery Water Cream, I was very intrigued.

Primarily, I was intrigued at the use of probiotics in the formula. I’d been reading about probiotics in skincare for a while, but there aren’t many brands I know, that use it.

Ultimately though, I had my reservations about the Antipodes Culture Probiotic night cream, and it had nothing to do with the probiotics 🙂
