Japanese-inspired lifestyle brand, MINISO has become a huge crowd-favourite for its functional everyday products at super affordable prices. Scented candles, glass bottles (my absolute favourite), shelf-hanging organizers, travel organizers - are a few of the million products that I have hoarded from this store. MINISO's Health and Beauty collection has a separate fan base altogether and if you're a part of this cult then you're definitely going to love these incredible brands as well.
MINISO's Japanese Beauty Products That Are Just Like These Homegrown Brands!
Dear Klairs
Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drops, Calming Sheet Masks, Ampule Mists, Cleansing Oil and LOTS more, Dear Klairs is slowly becoming our favourite K-beauty brand. And the fact that it's cruelty-free and vegan just makes it all the more popular. Their Midnight Blue Calming Sheet Mask and Soothing Tencel Sheet Mask reminded us of MINISO's facial masks.
Price: Starting at INR 200
Februus Organics
Right from the packaging to the ingredients used, Februus Organics is quite MINISO-esque. They've got a bunch of pure essential oils, body oils and serums that we love simply because they are all organic. They've got three terrific face mists, French Lavender, Arabian Jasmine and Bulgarian Rose Water, that work like magic. Their Blood Organe & Saffron Scrub and Moroccan Rhassoul Clay & Neroli Face Mask are definitely on our "To-buy" list.
Price: Starting at INR 219
Prolixr
It's the pink aesthetics of Prolixr that roped us in at first and once we did, it was their face masks that won us over. The brand has these amazing skincare bundles, each addressing various skin concerns. For instance, their Skin Vacation Bundle consists of an Aqua Marine Foaming Cleanser, Berry Moisturizer, Black Rose Honey Facial Scrub and a Detoxifying Sea Algae Mask. Oh, and everything here is paraben-free and cruelty-free.
Price: Starting at INR 539
Spekta
Vegan cosmetics are all the rage right now. Spekta is a women-led brand that does brilliant nail paints and matte lipsticks in funky colours, similar to MINISO. The lipsticks are deeply moisturising so you wouldn't have to worry about chapped lips and also last you hours. Not to forget, their names are quite interesting too - Troublemaker, Street Smart, Tease, A-lister and so on. Fun, no?
Price: Spekta's lipsticks are priced at INR 450 and nail paints at INR 250.
Disguise Cosmetics
Joining the vegan, cruelty-free cosmetics bandwagon, is this Instagram popular brand, Disguise Cosmetics. Satin matte lipsticks and long-lasting nail paints in pop colours, dominate this brand's beauty collection. While their product range is quite similar to that of MINISO, they're priced on the higher end, but the quality totally makes up for it.
Price: Starting at INR 200
