[BEAUTY] Review: ELIANTO Durian Musang King Makeup Collection

Are you a durian lover? ❤ When the Malaysian cosmetic brand, Elianto Make Up unveils its very first tropical-inspired make up collection made from the King of All Fruits -- Durian Musang King -- it wows me and I am really curious about it. 

ELIANTO has always been known as a brand synonymous with beauty using natural botanical skincare. But the limited edition durian-flavoured collection is a huge surprise for many, because who would have thought of "smelling and tasting" durian on the eyes, face, lips and even body?

As we know, Musang King durian itself has very deep yellow flesh. Hence, when incorporated into the makeup collection, it gives rich yellow colors for the lip care, lip color, highlighter, mono eyeshadows and lastly its refreshing yet earthy scent of Durio Bloom EDP fragrance. 

Let's see how we can play with the bright, pigmented colors!

 Durian Musang King Lip Care (SPF18) (3.3g) @ RM39.90 each

Available in 2 colors:

#1 Natural Pinkish Color
#2 Light Yellow

Can you imagine tasting durian on the lips using the Durian Musang King Lip Care everyday? Despite of the strong durian scent on the nose, I actually can't taste any durian on the lips. 

Yellow shade is actually colorless on the lips.

Whereas the pinkish shade gives a natural healthy pink touch to the lips.

As it contains moisturising yet non-greasy natural ingredients such as Natural Beeswax, Cocoa Butter, Olive Oil and Vitamin E, it works well as a lip balm for better hydration and comfort. Plus, it also has SPF18 to protect lips from harmful UV rays. 

How To Use:

Apply evenly on lips as often as needed, especially under dry, cold or windy conditions.

Use before applying lip color.

Durian Musang King Lip Colour (2.6ml) @ RM39.90

For those who are daring to play with colors, this distinctive and highly pigmented Musang King golden yellow lip color is for you. The creamy texture glides smoothly on the lips and finishes it with a velvety smooth, slightly matte finish.

Interestingly, the sweet durian scented formula initially gives an intense flavour on the lips then it subsequently turns into a subtle yet soothing scent.

How To Use:

Apply evenly on clean and dry lips.

Durian Musang King Eyeshadows (2.5g) @ RM19.90 each

Available in 2 colors:

#1 Yellow
#2 Cocoa

Even the eyeshadows smell pleasantly good with durian scent! And I love how its micronize pigments formula gives a softer and more velvety finish.

How To Use:

Apply onto eyelides / under eyes using eyeshadow brush and blend out gently.

Although the 2 vibrant Musang King shades can be applied alone or blended for more attractive look, I find that it is lacking of adherence on the eyelid. And the color is not as pigmented as I'd expect.

Durian Musang King Highlighter (6g) @ RM59.90

Lastly, it is the yellow highlighter which I feel kinda skeptical about because it is sheer yellow in color, matte and nothing shimmery. Nevertheless, this shade still works well to brighten up the contours and give a naturally radiant look.

How To Use:

Apply small amount along your cheekbones with a blusher brush, and blend well.

Verdict:

1. Overall, ELIANTO Musang King tropical makeup collection gives a total change to my usual makeup routine.
2. Kudos to Elianto for these innovative products for transforming our occasional durian fruit indulgence into something we can enjoy everyday!
3. Ideal for those who love trying out makeup products in a fresh, playful and daring way.
