CELGEN MILD SUN SPF50+ / PA+++

CELGEN MILD SUN SPF50+,  PA+++  is a silky sunscreen that fills the surface of the skin smoothly without leaving behind a white cast. In addition, the soft, creamy texture helps you to spread it on your face without any irritations or stickiness whatsoever. What sets it apart is its Energy Water with uniform micro-cluster, which delivers the effective components of various vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and proteins more effectively in mild sunlight.

In addition to a 50/50 split of organic and inorganic UVA and UVB blocking ingredients, green tea leaf extract is included as an antioxidant, skin-soothing, and anti-aging additive. Oryza sativa (rice) bran extract, which works as an antioxidant and provides Vitamin E, is also present in the formula. Be aware there are also five different parabens in this formula, which I know can be a deal-breaker.

In practice, I found that the formula isn’t oily or prone to separation, and it spreads easily and evenly so only a little’s needed. Once rubbed in, it looks a little glossy, but settles into a barely-there matte sheen after some time.

The instructions state to use it above makeup, but I prefer applying to skin prior to makeup and after my skincare, but it says you can carefully tap and spread on top of your finished look. As indicated, there is no white cast or cloudiness leftover, and it seems to last quite a long time in the sunny & 85 degree days we’ve had here recently.

Celgen claims it will not be erased by sweat or water (while not explicitly stating it’s waterproof), and it seems to stay on rather well. Furthermore, it has the usual sunscreen scent with a bit of added sweetness, but it’s very minimal and fades quickly.

The tube is standard and easy to use, and the vibrant orange is easy to spot in your purse or counter making it easy to find or remember to reapply within the recommended 2-hour time period! You could also use the cap as a mirror in a pinch, since it's reflective. Compared to other mid-to-high end 50SPF sunscreens, the price and portion are reasonable; not as expensive as Murad, but in the realm of Shiseido. This 50 gram tube comes in around $35, but unfortunately it’s not available via Amazon like I would hope for. Ultimately I’m happy with the performance of this sunscreen, and I would prefer an all-natural ingredient list, but I would try it again if it were easily available in the US.

BEAUTREE PLA Bubble Exfoliating Cleansing Pads

BEAUTREE’s PLA Bubble Pads are a natural and earth-friendly 5-in-1 solution for cleansing, exfoliating, moisturizing, brightening, and soothing the skin. PLA stands for Polylactic Acid, which is the bioplastic the pads are made from, and it’s created from 100% renewable and non-GMO corn starch. Furthermore, it’s completely compostable, so the environmental impact is minimized through the entire life cycle of each pad.

They key superfood ingredients that combine to give the pads their cleansing benefits are blueberry, oatmeal, and moringa extracts. Blueberry is a potent antioxidant and conditioner, oatmeal soaks up oils and acts as an anti-inflammatory, while moringa leaf has significant anti-aging benefits. In addition to using only eco-friendly ingredients, they’re scent-free and BEAUTREE has also completed extensive testing to ensure there’s no risk of skin irritation.

The pads are provided dry, and only require a small amount of water to activate, so they’re really convenient to store and easily portable as well despite the somewhat large container. I really appreciate the integrated pocket in each pad, which made it easy to use both sides of the pad without wasting any product on my hands. 

I had no problem working the soft side of the pad into a bubbly lather, and it definitely cleaned up my face and neck very well. I love the exfoliating side as well, as it’s easy to vary the effect by changing the pressure applied and it seems to work great for targeting the neck and decolletage areas. 

Overall, it left my skin feeling softer, gently exfoliated, clean, not dried stripped of oils. If necessary, I also think it’d be no problem to rinse them off and add some of your own cleanser if you need a bit more to finish up during your skincare routine. 

However, I did find that it’s not sufficient on its own when cleansing from a full face of makeup; you’ll almost certainly want to double-cleanse and bring the pad in after makeup removal.

All that said, BEAUTREE Cleansing Pads are very safe and effective, and the exfoliation is light enough that you could use them on a daily basis. I highly recommend them if you’re on the lookout for natural and environmentally conscious cleansers! Also, check out their BEAUTREE Blemish Calming Treatment Pads made with different ingredients like eggplant, broccoli and tomato to help combat acne!

SEVIZ Retro Bluetooth Wooden Speaker

Turn it up with SEVIZ Retro Bluetooth Wooden Speaker! First of all, the retro, mid-century wood grain aesthetic of the speaker is really cool and makes a great addition to my office decor. A top slot integrated into the top of the speaker will probably fit most phones and tablets, however if you have a large case on either of these devices it won’t fit; my iPhone has an Otterbox Defender on it that’s too thicc, but that’s no problem.

The Bluetooth range is remarkable at a stated 10 meters, but in my testing I was able to walk at least 15 meters away and past several walls before there was any signal loss at all. One drawback of the form-over-function design is that it’s not weatherproof, but it’s rare that we expose any of our speakers to the elements, so that’s not a significant issue.

The sound quality is relatively good, although it's heavily tuned toward bass so the mid and high tones can sound a little bit tinny by comparison. An integrated microphone does a great job picking up my voice, so it’s great for taking calls as well. The volume output is really impressive for such a small speaker (rated at 20W max), since it can get loud enough to be heard clearly all the way across our home. There’s even a helpful audio tone when you reach max volume!

I appreciate that it has SD card, USB, and 3.5mm auxiliary inputs in addition to the Bluetooth capability so that I can easily swap between all the different devices we have around for streaming and playing downloaded music. The Bluetooth pairing and input changes are all fast and seamless, too, so it’s been super-convenient compared to some other wireless speakers that we use around the house. All that said, the included FM tuner unfortunately doesn’t work for us since it can’t pick up any stations, but we almost never listen to over-the-air radio anyhow.

It’s powered by a large, 1800mAh battery that has a 4-5 hour play time, including a power-saving feature that shuts down the device after 5 minutes without Bluetooth connection or audio input. Charging is also decently quick at just 2 hours via the included 5V micro USB cable, which conveniently has a USB-A connection on the charger side that’s compatible with almost any wall charger or battery pack. At just under $20 from Amazon, this speaker is an excellent value proposition and I’d recommend it to anyone who’s searching for some budget-friendly wireless audio!

Vely Vely Aura Honey Glow Cushion

I’ve recently introduced Vely Vely Aura Honey Glow Cushion compact into my makeup routine. This Kbeauty foundation combines both skincare and makeup with its amazing lightweight, dewy formula that enhances one’s skin appearance and hydration.

The packaging, a soft pastel yellow and reflective gold border that wraps the exterior and into the interior of the compact, evokes a luxurious feel and inspires you to glam up your day.

 

Inside is a large mirror, ribbon makeup puff and it’s placeholder that securely encloses the cushion foundation so it doesn't dry out. As an added value, unlike any other compact here in the USA, it comes with a full refill and extra sample sachet of Vely Vely C-Tamin Toner, Serum and Cream.

Some of the amazing ingredients include 31% Belgian Hot Spring Spa Water which has many benefits, such as excellent hydration, reduces dark under-eyes, and provides a natural glow. Honey Glow Propolis adds many of the necessary nutrients for healthy skin. Furthermore, Rainbow Collagen Complex improves skin elasticity and an infusion of White Sapphire for extra radiance.

 

Other noteworthy ingredients are Asiatic Pennywort (Centella Asiatica) enriched with amino acids that soothes and protects skin’s barrier. Panthenol which is both a humectant and emollient that not only binds the moisture to the skin but locks it in. Two final points that I really love about this product are the hypo-allergenic cushion and perhaps more importantly it even has a 50+ SPF and PA+++ rating for sun protection.

This foundation is intended for skin types that fall into normal, dry or combination. I have combination skin that tends to get more oily as the temperature starts to rise so I will certainly see how this hydrating formula collides with the increased oiliness. As of now, with normal Spring temperatures from 50-60 degrees, this has been a perfect fit.

The dewy and hydrating properties bring a soft glow to my foundation, which can also be mattified if necessary by a good powder or taken down with a blotting sheet. The coverage is light to a buildable medium, so if you have problem areas I would recommend the use of a concealer alongside, but otherwise this brings a natural finish to the face with a dewy touch.

 

The application is easy whether by the provided puff or,what I typically like to use, a slightly damp beauty sponge. It reduces the redness in my complexion and doesn’t settle into my fine lines, never looking cakey.

In total, Vely Vely Aura Honey Glow Cushion is a long-lasting foundation that I noticed no separation or no need for touch ups after 8 hours of wear. In my opinion it's perfect for more natural or minimal makeup days. I can’t recommend this enough, if you are looking for a radiant lightweight foundation this is the compact for you!
