Best Beauty Brands You Can Find at The Exchange TRX

1. Drunk Elephant

In our eyes, the new opening of Drunk Elephant at The Exchange TRX is the most exciting thing to happen since sliced bread, because it’s the first and only Drunk Elephant store in the world! We’ve seen their products at Sephora, but nothing is quite like the experience of being able to browse through an entire store dedicated to just Drunk Elephant. Although fairly new to the game, this brand has taught us to mix products, rather than layering them, and the internet is loving it. Check out all their viral products, like the B-Goldi™ Bright Drops and the Lala Retro™ Whipped Cream at The Exchange TRX, plus their entire range of other products that you might just fall drunk in love with.

2. Aesop

Don’t you just love stepping into an Aesop store? Every corner you look is an invitation to experience their masterfully created products, ranging from luscious skin, body, and hair products to home fragrances. All of their locations represent who they are as a brand – sustainable, sensorially evocative, and respectful – as seen in their collaboration with local textile designer, Muni Osman. As their ninth store in Malaysia, Aesop architects and Muni Osman created a store that’s reminiscent of one of Malaysia’s favourite drink, Teh Tarik, and it truly shows in the warm hues and fabrics used in the store.

Ask anybody to give an example of a cult-favourite brand, and they’ll most likely say Le Labo. Its name, meaning “the lab” in French, gives a sense of what’s to come as you enter their store, as it’s laid out just like an open artisanal laboratory, designed to be a welcoming environment for those looking for a soulful fragrance for themselves or for their home. Their fine fragrances and home creations embody their niche and tactful approach to the olfactory sense, with a particular emphasis on craftsmanship and luxury. All of their creations are gender-neutral, with their most popular scents being Santal 33, Another 13, and Rose 31.

They create sensorially-exciting products, combining potent natural ingredients, ancient rituals, and modern science. The result?

5. LUMI

We’ve seen their products online, at pharmacies, and even in their own vending machines, but we’ve never seen them up close and personal like this. Welcome to LUMI’s very first beauty kiosk, one of the newest and most exciting beauty brands at The Exchange TRX yet! LUMI is a homegrown brand created by Chryseis Tan, and they’re all about creating effective products using ingredients that are not only cruelty-free and natural, but are also packed with skincare range packed with skin-loving botanical products. Although they’re new to the beauty game, having been founded in 2020, they’ve already reached a massive following of loyal audiences, and we can’t wait to try their products at The Exchange TRX for ourselves.
