Wait, you must be confused why does the title mention "Korean" when Marcella & Co is a 100% Malaysian brand. This is because the newest skincare addition in the family, the Cleansing Balm aka #MADbalm is Malaysia's first cleansing balm, made in Korea to deliver maximum benefits to our skin.
We all know how the flawless Korean skin looks like. But before feeding the skin with "nutrients" (skincare), it is important to first keep the skin thoroughly cleansed and free from impurities. That's why I am using the #MADbalm as the first step of skincare.
Function:
Kudos to the strong makeup removing ability! It does double the duty by removing heavy duty makeup (including stubborn mascara and eye makeup) on skin within seconds!
Think pineapple, coconut and mulberry! Doesn't that feel like summer already?
Interestingly, #MADbalm is crafted using Pineapple Extract (removes dead skin cells and treats breakouts), Cold-pressed Coconut Oil (keeps skin hydrated, soft and supple) and Paper Mulberry Extract (reduces fine lines, wrinkles, dullness and uneven skin tone).
I don't think these tropical ingredients are commonly found in cleansing balms, but hey they work well and smell superb!
If you wonder how does the cleansing balm work, don't worry because an instruction sheet is provided!
Packaging: ★★★☆☆
The jar may seem a little bulky for travelling, but you can always store some separately in mini jar and bring around wherever you go. Nevertheless, the packaging is secured (No spilling) and air-cabin approved.
The balm-like texture melts onto the skin, covering all the pores and
"dissolves" all the makeups / impurities away. Not overly greasy after cleansing.
Throughout the cleansing process, it does not feel drying at all
as it helps maintain the skin's moisture balance.
This is pretty amazing! It melts away all my makeups including waterproof mascara and eyeshadow so effortlessly.
A great, quick solution for makeup removal without feeling harsh on the skin!
Marcella & Co Lip Creams
Marcella & Co is not just about skincare, but it also has a wide range of locally-made lip creams for makeup junkies to play with! With the new and improved formula, the lip creams are more lightweight, hydrating and last much longer than before!
Texture: ★★★★☆
The creamy texture slides smoothly onto the lips.
On my first try, I find that it has very high adherence onto the lips and
finishes off with a lovely matte coverage that lasts for long hours.
Bahama Mama - Nude pink for a natural lip makeup look
Havana Lana - Rosy pink color that creates a sexy kissable pout
Scent: ★★★★☆
Did I forget to mention that the lip creams exude mild rose scent too? Sweet!
Verdict:
If you are looking for value-for-money cleanser and affordable lip color without compromising on the quality,
then you should consider Marcella & Co.
