Our salaries are in and we’re raring to go – for some retail therapy, of course. If you’re planning to add new beauty products to your shopping list, here are the newest launches in the market that we have our eyes on.
Skincare
Fenty Skin Fat Water Hydrating Milky Toner Essence
After the successful launch of Fat Water, a pore-refining toner-serum, during its debut, Fenty Skin launches a new toner-essence that has a thick milky texture, packed with ingredients to help plump skin with hydration and strengthen skin’s moisture barrier.
Great for parched skin, this instantly hydrates, nourishes, refreshes, soothes and helps skin recover from stress. The alcohol-free formula also evens out skin tone and reduces the appearance of pores.
You’ll also love its subtle and fresh scent that’s inspired by tropical fruits and flowers.
Fenty Skin Fat Water Hydrating Milky Toner Essence retails for RM145 and is available at Sephora.
Laneige Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Cleansing Oil and Cleansing Gel
Laneige has added two new cleansing products to their Water Bank range.
The oil cleanser contains mint leaf extract and provides deep pore cleansing and sebum control. It removes waterproof makeup and impurities without leaving behind a greasy or sticky feeling so that skin feels refreshed after cleansing.
It also contains Blue Hyaluronic Acid and Centella Asiatica extract to moisturise and soothe skin so it feels soft and moist after each cleanse.
The gel cleanser, on the other hand, is a pH-balanced product formulated for dry and sensitive skin. It protects skin’s barrier after cleansing, thanks to the inclusion of three types of amino acids and three amino acid surfactants that lift off skin impurities and dead skin without stripping skin’s natural moisture.
Laneige Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Cleansing Oil retails for RM150 at Sephora and Laneige Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Cleansing Gel retails for RM11o at Sephora.

For the uninitiated, Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream is a popular face moisturiser that’s infused with vitamin B3, amino-peptides, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants to instantly hydrate skin and improve skin elasticity. It also helps to visibly diminishes wrinkles and fine lines while delivering plumping hydration 10 layers deep into the skin’s surface.

Beauty tools
GLOWGEAR
Skin- and self-care brand GLOWGEAR is known for their beauty tools and products that are multifunctional. After its foray into Singapore earlier this year, the brand continues its expansion into Southeast Asia and is now available in Malaysia through Sephora.
One of its top beauty tool to check out is its GLOWDROP 4-in-1 Facial Device.

The tool also helps reduce puffiness by draining lymphatic fluid and increase blood circulation around your face.
