Here are some beauty stores you can find in Mahboonkrong Center.

1. Oriental Princess

I first came to know about Oriental Princess through Thai beauty blogger, tuniez83’s YouTube videos.

2. CutePress

CutePress feels more like a clinical brand. The store was very brightly lit and sold many whitening products for both makeup and skincare.

3. Beauty Buffet

Beauty Buffet is one shop that most beauty bloggers won’t miss during their Bangkok trip. They carry brands like Gino McCray, Scentio, Lansley, The Bakery as well as Anne & Florio. Popular items that most girls pick up from Beauty Buffet include Gino McCray’s eyeshadows and Anne & Florio’s polishes.

4. Yves Rocher

Yves Rocher carries mostly body care products. The store layout and brand colours remind me so much of The Body Shop.

5. Eveandboy

Eveandboy at Mahboonkrong (MBK) Center มาบุญครอง is a must-visit beauty store, offering a huge selection of trendy Thai and international cosmetics at great prices.

6. Boots

You can get No7 makeup and skincare products at Boots. No7 is UK’s best-selling makeup and skincare range offering hypo-allergenic products.

My recommendations:

Pond’s Magic Powder Oil & Blemish Control

I saw a lot of Thai girls using this to touch up in the ladies. They would pour some out on their palm and then slap it on their face. Out of curiosity, I asked a student and she said that this is very good for oil control as well as brightening the complexion. I bought myself a bottle at the nearest Boots.

Soap & Glory The Scrub of Your Life

When I got this, Soap & Glory wasn’t available in Singapore yet. I was captivated by its packaging and since I needed a body scrub, I thought I would try this out. It turned out to be one of my favourite body scrubs!

I finished the tube that I got from Bangkok but thank God Soap & Glory is available in Sephora now.

Barrier Repair Baby Moist Facial Wash

I got Barrier Repair Baby Moist Facial Wash for my cousin. Although Barrier Repair is available in Watsons in Singapore, I don’t see them carrying facial washes. Since I have tried Barrier Repair Facial Mask before and it’s not too bad, I thought that Barrier Repair Baby Moist Facial Wash would be worth a try.

Aside from shopping, I love to discover good food be it in my home country or overseas. When you need a break from shopping, take a break at After You or Auntie Anne.
