3. Rawlulu Cosmetics
What good is an outfit without a good makeup look to complete?
Although Rawlulu Cosmetics has garnered quite a large following since their debut, this local beauty brand definitely deserves more hype than they get. Their eye palette (which are currently on sale!), in particular, boasts 15 wearable, beginner-proof shades that dare we say, on par with the international beauty brand, Colourpop.
Aside from their eye palette, RawLulu also offers other equally high quality products such as matte lipsticks, blushes, and more.
4. Flutter By Lisa
When nail parlours are closed during MCO, what are we to do about our bland-looking nails? Well, the solution is rather simple. Opt for stick-on nails, of course.
@flutterbylisa is a small but steadily growing Instagram business account solely managed by @lisaleongss. She provides custom handpainted fake nail services upon request and if you browse through her account you'll find plenty of cute, adorable nail designs to choose from. Good news, they have recently restocked so perhaps now is a good time to hop on the fake nail trend?
5. Arte By Aliz
Resin has been all the rage these days and instead of sporting regular bags this new year, make yourself stand out with these transparent floral resin clutches by @artebyaliz. You better act fast though, because her designs are known to sell out quick. Other than clutches, other designs such as phone cases, bookmarks and cardholders are also available to order when in stock.
All items are sold at a reasonable price point, and with such adorable designs, we're surprised it didn't cost more.
