[ Review ] : Leahlani Skincare Meli Glow Illuminating Nectar Mask

Product Description
Say aloha to a soft, supple and more even-toned complexion with Meli GLOW as it helps to boost and brighten your skin, giving you a gorgeous glow throughout the day. She’s our illuminating nectar fusion mask, filled with enzyme and vitamin rich tropical fruits, nutrient dense beauty oils, skin moisturizing and plumping hyaluronic acid and stimulating clays steeped in the creamy fusion of organic Hawaiian nectar.

Made in USA, Leahlani Skincare Meli Glow Illuminating Nectar Mask is 100% natural using organic botanicals, clays and delicious tropical fruits with pure organic hawaiian nectars. Cruelty-free, Meli Glow does not contain toxins, fillers, artificial fragrances and carcinogens.

Packaging, Scent and Texture

Housed in a 50ml jar with a gorgeous gold-accented cap, Meli Glow Illuminating Nectar Mask is suited for all skin types, but is especially beneficial for dry, combination and mature skin.

The sweet honey scent smells so delicious that its almost edible. Runny in texture, it applies easier on dry skin than the recommended damp skin.

How To Use :
Massage a teaspoon of mask into clean, damp skin until evenly distributed. Sit pretty for 5-15 minutes and rinse well with warm water.

Performance and Ingredients

The application perplexes me though. According to instructions, Leahlani Meli Glow Illuminating Nectar Mask is recommended to be used on clean damp skin however due to its runny and sticky texture, using the mask on damp skin makes the whole texture runny and when its runny, its tickling - just imagine the runny contents threatening to drip down to your eyelids or into your nostrils or dribbling down your neck, do you get the drift? It makes me want to rinse it off immediately, instead of waiting for another 5 - 15 minutes.

Even using Meli Glow on dry skin can sometimes be slightly ticklish too, so imagine using it on damp skin, its going to be 2x worse. I tend to stir the contents so that the texture won't be that runny and ticklish. I would then apply it on dry skin which works better for me. Wait 15 minutes before rinsing it off.

Meli GLOW is said to help plump the skin cells, deeply nourish and gently exfoliate the skin, helping to promote a more even skin tone while unveiling that 'aloha GLOW'

I used up the mask in about 5 months with weekly usage and my skin is always very soft, smooth, more even-toned accompanied with a brightening glow. It doesn't dry up so there is no tight or heavy feeling during the masking session.

That said, do note that even though I kept Meli Glow in its original box and in my drawer, some of the contents messed up the box slightly and the ants got onto the scent and into the box. Imagine my horror when I saw the ants around and inside the box, thank goodness they didn't get into the jar but I I still ended up cleaning the whole drawer filled with other skincare products. Once I kept Meli Glow in a ziplock bag together with Honey Love, it solved the ants issue.

Each Meli Glow Illuminating Nectar Mask use is said to help to strengthen the barrier of the skin, delivering a bountiful dose of active enzymes and antioxidant rich oils that will hydrate your skin and leave you with a supple and unbelievably soft complexion. The mask contains Hyaluronic Acid to help boost elasticity and tone the skin, helping to fill in fine lines and wrinkles and ‘plump’ out the skin cells. It is also high in Vitamin C which absorbs easily into the deeper tissues of the skin, helping to combat cellular aging.

Conclusion

Get Leahlani Skincare Meli Glow Illuminating Nectar Mask if you are looking for smooth, supple, even-toned skin with a brightening glow! I would repurchase this if not for the price.

As Meli Glow contains Kaolin, I tend to avoid using Honey Love or any AHA products on the same day as Meli Glow so as to avoid drying my skin, hence I only use it weekly for my combination skin with surface dehydration.

Please note that Meli GLOW has since been updated with two new beautiful tropical oils in her formulation, Acai and Papaya Oil. The amount of Hyaluronic acid and Vitamin C have increased— making her even more effective at plumping the skin cells, deeply nourishing and brightening the complexion.

[ Review ] : Leahlani Skincare Honey Love Microdermabrasion Exfoliator

Product Description
A radiant weekly exfoliating treatment that shows congested, acne-prone skin some serious love. Formulated with a potent blend of anti-inflammatory noni fruit, toning hibiscus flower, stimulating clays and microdermabrasion crystals, Honey Love smooths and clarifies, dramatically improving your skin’s tone and texture.

Way before Kbeauty gets popular, most of my skincare products were made in USA and I always longed to visit USA for their skincare as most of them were not available in Singapore then. They have many organic brands mostly unheard of and you have to join sprees so that you can share the cost of shipping. Those were the days. I did made a huge haul when I was in USA twice though.

Nowadays, there are many online stores in Singapore and its no longer so difficult to get some of the more popular brands like Leahlani. I have a soft spot for Leahlani products and have previously tried Leahlani Skincare Bohemian Ruby Balancing Toner and Leahlani Skincare Bless Beauty Balm.

She is full to the brim with nutrient dense Hawaiian spirulina and raw honey, premium chlorella and circulation-boosting essential oils that will feed each cell on your precious face, resulting in the ultimate glow.

Her deep, emerald color comes from two powerhouse superfood ingredients, organic chlorella and organic spirulina. We have found the most beautiful sources of these green beauties to create the Mermaid Mask with. Our spirulina comes from a farm on the pristine coast of Hawaii that draws on the natural resources that surrounds it – abundant warm sunlight, pure deep ocean water and 100% fresh water drawn from a Hawaiian aquifer. The spirulina is grown in a bio secure zone and uses an ocean chill drying technique. We use the cleanest and most pure source of organic chlorella on the planet, which is grown in outdoor pools under the sunlight and contains cell walls that are "opened" or "cracked" using a specific process that preserves nutrients and increases absorption. Happy mermaiding!

Shea butter aids in the skins natural collagen production and contains oleic, stearic, pamitic and linlenic acids which help to nourish and protect the skin. Shea butter also contains natural UV protection which helps to shield the skin from the suns harmful rays.

ORGANIC MARACUJA PASSIONFLOWER OIL : Rich in vitamin A and potassium, both of which are essential vitamins that help to keep the skin healthy. The antibacterial and ant-inflammatory properties of Passionflower oil help combat acne and inflammation. This exotic oil is rich in ascorbic acid, vitamins and essential minerals, and helps reduce sebum secretion- making it an ideal oil for balancing the skin. Lightweight and delicate, Passionflower absorbs effortlessly into the skin.

ORGANIC MARULA OIL : Rich in essential fatty acids and absorbs quickly and beautifully into the skin.

BLUE TANSY : Helps to soothe the skin and alleviate redness and inflammation. Blue Tansy helps smooth out broken capillaries and helps improve tissue strength and elasticity.

Leahlani Skincare Bless Beauty Balm is a moisturiser that I used right after the Leahlani Skincare Bohemian Ruby Balancing Toner. It contains many antioxidant rich ingredients to free the skin from radical damage as well as the popular blue tansy to soothe and improve the strength of your skin.

However, I considered the Beauty Balm to be alittle too rich and heavy for my combination skin so I am not using any other serums, essence, sleeping mask before or after the balm. This will also help me to see the performance of the product for my skin type.

The Bless Beauty Balm comes in a tub where some may think its not hygienic so do take note, if you are iffy about it. I did not experience any change of texture and colour of the product during my 5 months of usage and I just ensure I use clean fingers to scoop about 5 cent coin amount each time. A little goes a long way.

I adore the scent of Leahlani products and its the same for Leahlani Skincare Bless Beauty Balm. It is a gorgeous light pink beauty balm with a sweet floral scent that smells comforting when applied before the start of the day or at the end of a tiring work day.

Review : Leahlani Skincare Bohemian Ruby Balancing Toner

Product Description
If you have dry and sensitive skin, Bohemian Ruby is your girl. She will gently nurture the skin, providing ample hydration and moisture to your delicate complexion while helping to reduce redness and inflammation. Her combination of pure aloe water, organic floral hydrosols, and mineral rich Hawaiian sea silt will tenderly kiss the skin- leaving your sweet skin calm, hydrated, balanced, and nourished. Each bottle houses a Rose Quartz gemstone that has been purified in the Hawaiian sea and sun. Rose Quartz emits a strong vibration of unconditional love, healing, and warmth.

I heard so much good things about Leahlani Skincare that its time for me to try out some of their products. If you are a green beauty fan, then there is no way that you have not heard of Leahlani Skincare.

Leahlani Skincare is founded and formulated by Leahlani, a certified holistic skincare expert, dually licensed esthetician and botanical alchemist. The skincare line is made from fresh Hawaiian nectars, potent and vibrant botanical actives and luxurious, tropical beauty oils and their products are blended fresh weekly in intimate batches in their private studio on the lush North Shore of Kauai Island. You can read more it here.

Leahlani Skincare Bohemian Ruby Balancing Toner appeals to me because it is said to provide hydration and moisture and reduce redness and inflammation. Things that I need for my skin.

The glass bottle is pretty in pink and has a Rose Quartz gemstone in it, hence you can always hear the clinking sound whenever you are misting your face. However, since it is made of glass, its best to be careful when using it.

The spray mist goes onto the skin in bursts instead of a very fine mist, so I tend to pat my skin all over, after misting, to ensure the balancing toner gets to all parts of my face.

I always use Leahlani Skincare Bohemian Ruby Balancing Toner after cleansing with my favourite cleanser, Naturalmente Breathe Skin Therapy Moisturizing Cleanser Emulsion and prior to Leahlani Skincare Bless Beauty Balm.

When I first starting using the 100ml sized toner, I thought it was going to be used up at a 2x faster rate than the Bless Beauty Balm, but thankfully, both products were used at almost an on-par rate. I probably have another extra 1 month of usage with the balm. I ended up using the balancing toner for a good 4 months with once a day usage.

The balancing toner is absolutely delightful with a subtle floral scent that smells great and is light and refreshing. My skin just feel hydrated and well-moisturised with a feel-good feeling, each time I used it. I even place the Rose Quartz gemstone by my bedside after depleting the toner to attract more love into my life. Because why not.

Leahlani Skincare Bohemian Ruby Balancing Toner, you rock!

In Singapore, you can get the products from Naturally Better Co and An Uplifted Day.

Do note that I am using the original formula and it has since been updated to a new formula where the Hawaiian Spring Water is now replaced with premium organic Aloe Vera water ( heal and moisturise the skin to perfection ).
