Sisley Phyto-Teint Poudre Libre

Powered by advanced micro-emulsion technology, this loose powder provides continuous hydration while leaving the complexion smooth, comfortable and naturally radiant.

The finish remains softly matte throughout the day, although those with oilier skin may find themselves reaching for touch-ups. The limited shade range is a drawback, as the current four shades fall short compared with brands offering broader inclusivity.

It is also worth noting that the “Transparent” shade leans warm and sandy rather than truly colourless, which may be misleading for those expecting a universal match.

This loose powder retails for RM470 for 12g.

Rating: 3/5

Mentholatum Lip Pure


The natural lip balm is formulated with food-grade ingredients and a powerful blend of four honey extracts such as propolis, manuka honey, royal jelly and natural beeswax.

It gently soothes, hydrates and protects even the most sensitive lips.

The natural sheer tint, derived from plant extracts, enhances the natural lip tone with a healthy glow.

Lightweight and smooth, it offers buildable colour that fits effortlessly into your daily routine, whether you are going for a fresh-faced look or a subtle makeup finish.

It comes in a non-colour range and two soft tinted balms, Cherry Red and Strawberry Pink.

This lip balm retails for RM25.90 for 4g.

Rating: 4/5
