Breitling, The Gardens Mall

The Swiss luxury watchmaker opens its fourth boutique at The Gardens Mall, in partnership with retail partner The Hour Glass. The new space embraces an industrial loft concept, featuring exposed brick walls and dark wood flooring. With a space of 30 sq m, the boutique showcases Breitling’s full range of collections. Extending beyond the interior, the boutique’s exterior is equally captivating, featuring illuminated lightbox visuals of Breitling’s ambassador.

Case Valker

Carlo Rino Oligopeptide Essence Milk Fragrant with a non-sticky consistency, but that is all its saving grace. For what feels like a luxury product – well packaged as one too – it does not perform like one. It does little for moisture. The bounciness of the skin after applying the product is nowhere, even if it is used overnight. It is dependant on a moisturiser to fully perform a moisture retainer. While it contains shea butter, it misses the key ingredient for a plump skin, which is hyaluronic acid. At a high price point, the essence milk is perhaps not a necessary addition to your skincare routine. Price: RM209 for 100g Rating: 1/5

Pull&Bear,

Lumpur

Spanning 426 sq m, the space features refined and simplified decor, enhanced by a new adjustable clothing display structure that offers a wider view. Store interiors combine white textures, metallic finishes and luminous elements. Digital multi position screens are also used to communicate in the store. With this new concept, Pull&Bear maintains the assisted self checkout system as part of the store’s digitisation process, as well as pick-up and drop-off points for order collection and returns.

Kiehl’s Corrective Dark Spot Solution A product that keeps its promises, and it does the one thing it is good at – correct dark spots and hyperpigmentation. It does not overpromise as the dark spots take at least a month to fade, and hyperpigmentation at least a year, with religious usage. The best time to use is after applying moisturisers and at targeted spots, as for the sensitive skin it may dry out the skin. Just enough to use before bed, it can also be used in the morning. But including this solution in your nighttime routine would suffice. Comes in three bottle sizes, the 30ml one will last you at least three months, making it more than enough. It sits at a higher price point, making it a luxury product, but it works miracles for the skin. Price: RM285 for 30ml, RM402 for 50ml and RM665 for 100ml Rating: 4/5
