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!

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.

Elizavecca Moisture Hyaluronic Acid Memory Cream

Camiane The Perfect Wedding Mask

The Perfect Wedding Mask from Camiane is a beautifully packaged, two-step filling mask program that will make every day feel like your special day! The first step is a PHA (Poly Hydroxy Acid) filling pack that creates a transparent peel-off mask, which exfoliates, locks in moisture, acts as an antioxidant, and is safe for sensitive skin.

The second stage is a 100% microfiber Triple Hyaluron ampule sheet that contains three different weights of hyaluronic acid that work together to hydrate your skin, and keep it hydrated by acting like a magnet for moisture. Hyaluronic Acid is actually produced by skin cells, and once fully hydrated, the skin will be left feeling incredibly soft, plumped, pillowy, and with a natural glow.

All of this comes contained in a gorgeous shimmering silver and lace package that screams luxury and naturally fits the perfect wedding theme.

I began the first step by removing the super-cute diamond pack from the perforated packaging. Then, snapping the small stem back transformed the gem vial into a squeezable dropper, which I used to apply the somewhat sticky, gel-like substance to my face. It had a very pleasant sweet, fruity scent and was easy to apply with my fingers, taking care of course to avoid the hair so that it wouldn’t be pulled out while peeling the mask off.

I found that the generous amount of liquid in the vial was more than enough to completely cover my face. I proceeded to wait the entire recommended 20 minutes with the mask on, but within the first five I noticed that it had completely set and formed an extremely glossy, smooth, and transparent film on my face.

Afterward, it peeled off very easily from bottom to top, coming off in large pieces at once. Only having completed this initial step, my skin already feels softer and has a slight glow, it definitely succeeded in exfoliating my skin since I could see the dirt and debris left on the mask after pulling it away.

Now for the second step: the sheet mask! Upon opening the second half of the package containing this mask, I immediately noticed a clean, but intense, spicy scent.

There was a second layer included that helped keep the serum in the mask while placing it correctly on the face, which was a welcome addition. The ampule sheet layer underneath felt completely saturated with the hydrating liquid, and gave me chills when I first put it on! I decided to wait the full thirty minutes for this stage of the treatment, and all throughout, the mask continued to provide a wet and cool feeling without sliding at all as I went about my business around the house.

When the time was up, I removed the mask to reveal that my skin was definitely soft, felt tighter and the nice glow from before was still present. It did have a bit of a tacky feeling as well, but nothing that would stop me from using this mask again.

Peeling off outer layer to reveal the mask!

All said and done, I thought this was a wonderful spa-like experience brought right into my home in a beautiful package, which also makes it an amazing gift idea to give this holiday season. It’s also unique to see two usually separate masking processes combined into one product that results in radiant looking skin.
