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.

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!

Joah Blur Activator Mineral Primer

Let’s talk about how Joah Blur Activator Mineral Primer has become one of my favorite drugstore primers, even though it’s only half the price of my usual more expensive MAC primer! The formula is infused with Korean Camellia Oil and provides a light-weight smooth coverage. I love the pump dispenser, but be careful, because I find it pumps out a little more product than the dime-size amount needed to cover the entire face.

I typically don’t like silicones in primers, because I feel they do absolutely nothing but fill up my pores. Unfortunately a good portion of their ingredients are in fact silicone (see ingredient list in the Gallery below), but I felt this actually worked well with my skin when compared to other inexpensive primers.

At this point I’ve been using it for more than two weeks and I have not seen any issues with any new acne. I love applying this after my daily moisturizer and SPF and it goes on noticeably smooth.

Afterward I make sure to give it at least a minute to settle before I start applying my foundation. Once applied you can see it visibly blurring the look of acne/scars and calming redness.

It also settles nicely into my fine lines and makes them less apparent when my foundation is applied. It made my foundation last all day and I’ve had no issues with my makeup moving even after 12 hours. Aside from the over-abundance of silicone in the product, this is a great cheaper alternative to other primers out there. Keep scrolling to see entire Gallery!

Joah Blur Activator Mineral Primer

Elizavecca Moisture Hyaluronic Acid Memory Cream

One of my favorite brands, Elizavecca, is back again with Moisture Hyaluronic Acid Memory Cream! This pretty light-blue cream takes its name from the fact that the formula has shape memory, meaning no matter how it’s been stirred or mixed up, it returns to its original form over time.

It contains a potent combination of naturally occurring and moisture-boosting Hyaluronic Acid, Allantoin, and Adenosine. The Allantoin and Adenosine in particular provide powerful anti-aging properties by helping to hydrate, smooth wrinkles, soothe, heal, and protect the skin from ultraviolet light.

As usual, it all comes in Elizavecca’s uniquely adorable packaging with a cute tiny spatula!

Just to observe the “memory” part of this cream, I started out by giving it a good stir until it was uneven and clumpy in the container. Right before my eyes, it began to smooth out and recombine until it was like I’d never touched it. The bouncy, jelly-like cream is actually fun to play around with in the container and is actually a nice sensory experience.

To apply it, I removed it in a gel-like clump from the container using the nifty spatula, which had an instant cooling sensation that melted away with the heat of my skin as it turned into a moist, clear liquid. Once fully applied to my face, I also noticed a very faint floral scent that’s pleasant, but not overwhelming or off-putting at all.  It absorbed rather quickly, but didn’t completely sink in, so my face felt soft and hydrated.

Going in, I expected it to be a heavy cream and problematic for my oily skin, but I have yet to experience any clogging or other adverse reactions. Based on my results, I think this is a great moisturizer for people with either dry or combination skin.

It’s also worth noting that alongside the very gentle main ingredients, this product is completely paraben, sulfate, alcohol, and allergen free. Just a small dab is enough to get total coverage, so it’ll be a while before I need more, but I’ll certainly be turning to Elizavecca Moisture Hyaluronic Acid Memory Cream again in the future.
