Ask anyone to name you a couple of Singapore makeup brands and they are most likely to either tell you "ZA, Covergirl, Maybelline, L'oreal??" or to answer you "Singapore got meh?". (FYI L'oreal aren't a Singapore brand, it originates from France)
This is one of the reasons why I stand so strongly for supporting Asian cosmetic brands and even more so, the local ones. We do have a few cosmetic brands in Singapore, but they are unfortunately not well-known. It isn't that their products loses out to those of the BIG names, but rather it is just a game of marketing and popularity.
I personally prefer Asian cosmetics because I find the products to be much more suited for our skin type and shade. Today I am super proud to share with you guys about five products from a local cosmetics brand Klarity, and you will get to know which of the five are my favourites!
#1 | KLARITY Diamond Glow Overnight Masque

MY TWO CENTS:
I am in LOVE with every, single, one of Klarity's products! It is one of the few brands that have managed to successfully integrate itself into my everyday life. I am an extremely lazy person so the focus of my skincare routine is always simple, quick and efficient – and Klarity is a perfect fit for me (and it could be for you too if you're a lazy person!)
There are of course a few of their products that I love more than the rest, but on an overall level, all of these five products have impressed me! I put all five through a solid three months of testing, and I am so glad that I did!
None of these products come cheap but they are definitely worth every buck tagged to its price! I saw unbelievable results, and I wished I had taken the photos to show you guys. My top three favourite products are 1) The Immortal Elixir, 2) Diamond Glow™ Eye Nano Treatment, 3) Oxymud™ Cacao Duo Cleanse and Renewal Mask.
Firstly, let's talk about The Immortal Elixir. I was using it previously as an after-makeup setting spray (you can see it from my video review) and wasn't quite impressed with its results. I was about to chuck it aside but had second thoughts, I had a nagging feeling that I wasn't using it right. I decided one day to try using it as a before-makeup face priming spray, and damn that was it! I had found its true purpose.
Using it as a before-makeup spray helped to give my face a last-minute moisture boost, that aided in a smoother makeup application and also helped my makeup to last longer in a day. I have since included it in the ranks of must-haves in my makeup routine!
Secondly, the Diamond Glow™ Eye Nano Treatment. This is another one of the products that failed to impress me during my first attempt, but I gave it some time and I saw its effects! Due to countless of late night blogging, I have terrible dark eye circles and fine wrinkles around my eye areas (like an old granny).
The dark eye circles I can manage with some highly pigmented salmon-tone concealer, but the fine wrinkles are a complete bitch as they are the perfect spots for my concealer to pool together and sit
Lastly, the Oxymud™ Cacao Duo Cleanse and Renewal Mask. It was actually a tough call between the mudmask and overnight masque, but I chose the former as I was impressed with its 4-in-1 functions. If you have been following my Instagram and Youtube videos, I have been raving endlessly about this product. It acts as a makeup remover, exfoliator, cleanser and detoxifying mask.
For best results, I would highly recommend the use of this mudmask paired together with their Diamond Glow Overnight Masque. The combination removes dead skin cells and rejuvenates the skin overnight, and come morning your face will be radiating with glow and moisture! I could hardly believe my eyes when I looked into the mirror, I even leaned in for a closer look!!! You've really got to try it for yourself.
The one product that I have yet to talk about is the Lasertox™ CC Miracle White Lotion. I love this product as well, but unfortunately the other Klarity products have outshone this one. I would describe this product to be a good fit for those looking to wear light makeup in the day!
How I would usually wear it out is to apply a thin layer on for minimal coverage and sun protection, and then add on some blusher and slight bronzer to give my face more colour. The issue that I have with this product is its whitening effect, which works against someone of fair skin (like myself), and only does to make me look ghostly-pale – hence the addition of blush and bronzer for colour.
If you are keen to purchase any of these products, you can find them at SASA, BHG, Pink Beauty Stores, Sephora Online, Zalora and secretive.sg. For more information on the products, head over to their official page here.
