1. Don Don Donki: A Fun Japanese Store to Browse Through

2. Panda Eyes: Unique Finds Similar to Miniso
I came across a couple of videos recommending shopping at Panda Eyes in Kuala Lumpur 😊.They have many stores in KL and offer a variety of unique finds that you won’t see anywhere else.
If you’re looking for something different from the usual Miniso products, Panda Eyes is the place to go. Don’t miss out on their eclectic collection of goodies.
I got myself a new handbag, and my brother picked up a new wallet from here.
3. KKV Lifestyle Store: A Trendy Spot for Lifestyle Products
The bright yellow logo caught our eye, and Insta recommended checking out this store, so we decided to take a look. KKV Lifestyle Store is a must-visit for anyone looking for trendy and stylish finds. From home decor and fashion accessories to beauty products, this store has it all!
You’ll discover some fantastic lifestyle products at KKV Lifestyle Store. I picked up some sheet masks on my visit – so excited to try them out!
4. Uniqlo: Stylish Japanese Clothing
Uniqlo was always on my shopping list because of the amazing trouser I bought when I lived in Delhi. Unfortunately, there isn’t a Uniqlo store in Pune, so I made a point to visit one during my trip to KL. Uniqlo is a popular Japanese brand known for its fashionable and comfy clothes.
I ended up getting a T-shirt (the one i am wearing in the pic below) and my husband snagged a pair of jeans. So happy to have added some Uniqlo pieces to our wardrobe!
If you’re looking to update your wardrobe with some chic pieces, Uniqlo in Kuala Lumpur has got you covered. Explore their latest collection and shop for high-quality fashion essentials.
5. Sephora: A Beauty Lover’s Paradise
So, guess what? I finally made my way to Sephora in Kuala Lumpur. Sephora is a haven for makeup, skincare, and beauty products. I spent a whole hour browsing through all the amazing makeup, skincare, and beauty products they have to offer.
I must admit, I got a bit overwhelmed trying to decide what to buy. Next time, I’ll definitely do some research beforehand to make shopping easier. But I did walk away with my first Huda matte lipstick and my sister snagged a Rare beauty lipstick. Can’t wait to go back for more beauty finds! 😊
6. Victoria’s Secret: Keep an Eye Out for Special Offers
If you’re a fan of lingerie and body care products, Victoria’s Secret is the place to shop. Keep an eye out for special offers and discounts while exploring their beautiful collections. Treat yourself to some fabulous goodies or surprise your loved ones with a gift from Victoria’s.
I was thinking about buying a perfume from this store, but with limited time and unsure about spending a lot of money, I decided not to. Even though there were some great deals going on, I still hesitated and now I realize it was a mistake because those kinds of offers are rare in India.
On a positive note, I did receive my first Victoria’s Secret perfume set as a birthday gift from my husband, which he bought in India. Looking back, I wish I had purchased it from Malaysia instead. Lesson learned
7. Buy & Save Store: Snag Some Deals
Looking for great deals and discounts on a variety of products? Visit Buy & Save Store in Kuala Lumpur, where you can snag some amazing deals on everything from electronics to household items. Don’t miss out on this budget-friendly shopping spot.
All the items in the shop were for 50% sale, so we grabbed some items to take back home.
