It may only be the start of Ramadan, but aren’t we all already excited for the festivities of Hari Raya?
Ramadan officially begins on April 13th, and marks the start of a month-long commitment to fasting & prayer. This is also widely considered to be the holiest month of the year in the Islamic calendar. To mark the end of Ramadan is the festival of Eid–or also commonly known in Singapore and Malaysia as Hari Raya!
While Hari Raya may still be a month away, that just means we have all the time in the world to prep ourselves and our homes to look the best possible! There’s lots to do–from getting our Raya outfits ready, to making sure your skin stays glowing & healthy… so starting now doesn’t seem like a bad idea! Ahead, we have some exciting promotions happening in the month of Ramadan to help you get your skin & style leveled up just in time for Hari Raya.
Glowing skin, practically overnight
Before we dive deep into the promotions our beauty & fashion brands have lined up for you this Hari Raya, we would like to slow down and pare things down to the basics–skincare.
If you want your makeup to look good, it’s a no-brainer to make sure that your skin is also in the best state possible. Bumpy texture, stubborn hyperpigmentation, acne, and wrinkles are all things even heavy duty makeup can’t cover perfectly. Here to help you achieve the glowing skin you’ve always dreamed of is Paula’s Choice. Backed by 25 years of research and results, get the best skin of your life with award-winning formulas and proven skincare steps.
Paula’s Choice is also alcohol, fragrance, and cruelty-free. Start the journey to the best skin of your life with them and cart out an entire routine in 3 interest-free payments when you use hoolah. Who said you had to work hard for glowing skin? Not us.

Their Magic Eyeliner is a unique adhesive liner that requires no drying time or messy glue application. Your lashes will stick on and stay stuck on, all day.
With an application this easy and seamless, you can be out the door in seconds and not even the strongest of winds will scare you back into hiding behind a pillar. Your lashes will be unstoppable, wind or no wind!
They also pride themselves in providing high quality lashes that are so lightweight, you can enjoy its cloud-like comfort 24/7. If you’ve always wanted to get a pair of false eyelashes, but you’re an absolute beginner (like me), I highly recommend starting with Wink Formula. Take it from a total eyelash-noob, falsies aren’t that scary when you don’t have to deal with goopy glue or a thick uncomfortable lash band.

We love a good transfer-proof lipstick
With masks becoming the new normal, there are a lot of things we’ve had to give up. The hardest? Lipsticks. It’s difficult to find a transfer and mask-proof lipstick, but luckily for all of us, I did my research and I’m here with good news.
SCEPTR® Cosmetics was born in 2019 after founder Samina Malik discovered that her clients needed practical, easy to use makeup that lasted all day. Her years of experience in the makeup & beauty industry led her to creating SCEPTR® Cosmetics and their iconic lipsticks that won’t budge no matter how hard you try.
They are also cruelty-free, vegan, and Halal friendly with zero parabens and toxic ingredients. Their unique formulas use rich pigments that don’t deprive skin of the nourishment it needs, while also keeping its luxurious and pigmented finish all day.
To celebrate Hari Raya, take 20% OFF their PowerMatt Transfer-proof Lipsticks and Anti Ageing PowerGlass Glosses.
