'Coz there's a store in KL that has more than 250 beauty brands from around the world – including Malaysia.

Play Up is a one-stop beauty concept store that sells everything beauty-related, from makeup and skincare to fragrances and bath and body products.

Aside from local products, it brought in popular brands from South Korea, Thailand, Japan, Taiwan, Europe, and the US.

The store has been open in Malaysia since 2017, however, it's quite underrated considering the number of affordable brands they have.

So, it's pretty much like Sephora except it houses brands that generally have a lower price tag and cater to Asian skin

Although you can find some of their bath and body products at any Watsons or Guardian, it has items you wouldn't normally spot at Sephora.

Some of the homegrown makeup brands include Breena, Nita, Orchid, Fame, and Velvet Vanity to name a few.

And others like The Saem, Cosrx, and Mille from South Korea, or DUP from Japan.

The best part is, you can test all these products under one roof!
