9 underrated online stores you wish you knew about

by Grace Sundram

After a while, going to the mall and shopping feels a little mundane and it doesn’t feel as exciting as it should be. Instead, we get exhausted with the overwhelming crowd and the heat. With the hype of social media, millennials are getting more independent by taking a risk to open up an online boutique. That said, why go through the same old kind of stores to shop for an outfit, a gift or even dishware when you can get everything online. It’s not just convenient but it is also trendy and pleasing to the eye. Bonus point: does not burn a hole in your pocket too.

That said, we got you covered on this month’s issue of underrated Instagram boutiques.

This Malaysian brand was founded by Evelyn Marieta, a nutritionist turned bath scientist. She wanted to own lip balms that come in vibrant colours however she could not find any. As she experimented during her free time, she successfully created both cosmetics and bath products.  Just like its name, you can be sure to have an extraordinary bath experience. Be sure to try their body butter, essential oils, candles and so on.

If you’re someone who is into skincare, then you would love the SKIN brand. The packaging is aesthetically pleasing with its cute pink tubes and jars. Besides their sugar lip scrub, you should get your hands on their Rose Hip Oil as it contains a high level of antioxidants to protect and rejuvenates the skin. Whereas for your hair, the Natural Hair Elixir helps to stimulate hair growth as well to remove the frizziness of the hair.
