If red be the colour of energy and life, then it is most apt that the newly launched Mamonde Red Energy Recovery Serum comes in a striking red glass bottle.
The Red Energy range is a new range within the affordable Korean Mamonde brand. It presently features just one product – the Red Energy Recovery Serum, that is targeted at revitalizing the skin.
Continue ReadingIt often surprises people to know that lip balm does not feature high on my list of must-have beauty items. “But you’re a beauty blogger!” They cry. To which my answer is “Yes I am, so I’m more discerning”
Unless I’m in a cold, dry climate, I never wear lip balm in the day. I personally believe that regular use creates dependency, but that’s just me.
That said, I do take care of my lips – I just do it at night. Like with hand cream.
I usually slick a layer of Lucas Papaw Ointment on my lips every night before bed. That’s my regular lip treatment – it’s affordable and lasts me years if I buy the large tub. That said, I have been informed that it’s increasingly hard to find locally, not that I know why.
A while ago, I discovered the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask and that had proven to be a favourite lip treatment. In fact, I never ever leave home without it – hotel rooms, airplanes etc have notoriously dry air. Sometimes, I use it just to give my lips a treat, and I wake up with soft, smooth, flake-free lips.
So, when I came across the Mamonde Lip Sleeping Mask, I was intrigued enough to have a go.
Continue ReadingMamonde is fast becoming one of my favourite go-to affordable skincare brands and from experience, the Mamonde Rose Water Toner is quite impressive for different uses. That’s good news for those of you who want something hydrating that is more wallet-friendly!
Recently, Mamonde (pronounced ‘ma-mond’ no fancy ‘eh’ at the end) launched something that intrigued me – more Mamonde Flower Water Toners.
Most of us are already familiar with Mamonde’s Rose Water Toner, and I know it is a crowd favourite. Seizing upon that, Mamonde has now enlarged their range with 5 other different toners to suit different skin needs. I realized I hadn’t told you about the Mamonde Rose Water Toner, so it was time to remedy that.
I unfortunately lost my SD-Card with all my fancy photos I took earlier of all the 5 Mamonde Flower Toners available (accidentally threw it away! Lots of other photos in there too – boohoo!) so you’ll have to make do with what I have here 🙂
It was quite amusing to me when the Mamonde Creamy Tint Squeeze Lip was sent out. I came across so many people squealing and going “Ooh! First time ever a squeeze lipstick!” Well, WRONG! Other brands have done it too in the same or slightly different forms, most recently, the Bobbi Brown Art Stick Liquid Lip that looks exactly the same. I own one of them. Just never got round to talking about it.
Pay a little more attention to what’s going on around you, and you’ll realise that makeup trends are cyclical and what goes around comes around!
But what intrigued me enough to share about these Mamonde Creamy Tint Squeeze Lips is because I have a soft spot for the brand. I know I often say I’m not into Korean brands, but Mamonde has gotten under my skin in a good way. Their skincare is quite decent and my little experience with their small makeup range has been fairly positive too. I still use their Flower Pop blush very often! 😀 And I like that they are very affordable, yet without compromising on packaging or quality. You know me. I’m picky about things like this, but when a brand grabs hold of my attention, I usually tend to look a little more kindly on it 😀
I shared a picture of these Mamonde Creamy Tint Squeeze Lips on Instagram a little while ago, and received many requests for me to share my thoughts on them. So here we are! 🙂
