Hi, Nice to Meet You

I'm MalianaC

Beauty lover, oily skin survivor, and fellow hyperpigmentation fighter here! My beauty obsession started in my mom’s vanity in Mali and has travelled with me across three continents to finally turn into a blog. 

While I’m still on my skincare journey, I love sharing what I’m learning along the way.

Here, I share my discoveries, wins, and occasional mishaps – whether I’m splurging on luxury finds or hunting for budget-friendly gems that actually work for our melanated skin.
