The durian has its fair share of lovers and haters. Most Malaysians we know would kill to have a taste of the almighty Musang King (a.k.a Raja Kunyit/Mao Shan Wang), a local breed of durian so sought after, it is frequently exported to countries like China. Musang King flavored food like cream puffs and ice cream are what most resort to if they can’t get their hands on the king of fruits itself.
But we’re not here to talk about durian flavored food. Not today, at least. In November 2017, Malaysian beauty brand Elianto announced that they are going to release a durian-flavored lipstick, free of pesticide. The hype has died down since, but today they have launched their Musang King Collection exclusively on Lazada. Here's what they've got so far.
Elianto Durian Musang King Lip Colour
RM 39.90
Airy, lasting, and creamy, it leaves your lips luscious and smooth all day. We would recommend this to durian-lovers who are more adventurous. After all, sporting a bold-colored, durian-scented lip color is not for the weak of heart.
Elianto Make Up Durian Musang King Moist Lip Care
RM 39.90
Using lots of cosmetic lip products causes damage to your lips. Give your kissers the tender, loving care they need and moisten them up with this durian-flavored lip care product. Made of natural ingredients including of olive oil, cocoa butter, and vitamin E, it also comes with SPF 18. This means the utmost hydration and protection for your lips throughout the day.
Elianto Durio Bloom EDP
RM 59.90
Okay, we have to admit that we really didn’t see this coming. Infused with durian (obviously), freesia, jasmine, and musk to name a few, this fragrance will have you smelling as if you’ve just taken a walk in a gigantic durian orchard. Yay or nay?
Elianto Make Up Durian Musang King Eyeshadow
RM 19.90
Highly-pigmented, their shade in Cocoa is a good pick if you’re planning to put on a nude look. Its special formula (made from durian, maybe?) absorbs excess oil on the eyelids, giving your peepers a matte, oil-free look.
Elianto Make Up Durian Musang King Highlighter
RM 59.90
Achieve that glowy, no-shine look in just a matter of minutes by using this highlighter to accentuate your cheekbones, or to play up your eyebrow. However, neither this nor the eyeshadow is durian scented.
Despite how part of the team loves durian, we’re not entirely sure if we would like to smell like it all day. If you would like to give it a try though, we advise wearing just one of these products at a time, to avoid smelling (and probably looking) like the fruit.
That aside, the first 20 customers to purchase any products from this exclusive Musang King Collection together with another product (1+1) gets a compact mirror for free! Also, spend a minimum of RM50 and you get to enjoy 15% off your shopping spree with the code ELIANTO15 (a maximum discount of RM20 applies, though). Excited yet?
