Beauty Focus Inspired By Nature
Colour Blast
Injecting excitement into the landscape of cosmetics, Silkygirl was launched in 2005 and has spawned countless makeup gems ever since. We like the all-new Matte Junkie Lip Cream, RM21.90, a liquid lippie that gives vivid colour in a matte finish.
Infused With Love
Founded by Law Hong Mei, The Olive Tree offers natural remedies that start with an olive oil base and feature herbs like rosemary, mint, lavender and tea tree. The Lavender & Sandalwood Hand and Body Wash, RM79.90, leaves skin soft and moisturised.
Claire Organics was launched after founder Louise Chu made soaps and moisturisers for her daughter. Enjoy body scrubs, lip balms and essential oil-based perfume oils like this Inspire Perfume Oil, RM39, with bergamot and lavender.
