Review | Cuepido Cosmetics Simply Beautiful Pure Moisture Oil-Free SPF45 & Beauty Mist

All beautiful things come from a place with lots of love and care behind them, we believe. So, this skin-loving skincare brand is no different. If you had followed LUMINNEJ for some time, you would have noticed that we fell in love with Cuepido Cosmetics (here for more) for some time now (our crushes, naturally here and here previously) and we have always enjoyed the array of natural and organic skin freedom concept skincare and beauty products the brand offers. This time a round, we would love to share with you a little brief thoughts of the two products we received many moons back. Yes, life just got in the way and it is long overdue, nonetheless, excited to let you lovelies know more here. 

All Cuepido products are formulated without Paraben, Phthalates, Triclosan, Sulphates and Gluten, which is such a comfort to know. In today's world, we are already overloaded with enough harmful chemicals, knowing what we consume or put on our skin is gentle yet effective is most definitely rewarding.

[Review] Neal's Yard Remedies Deliciously Ella Lovely Duo | Rose, Lime & Cucumber Facial Wash + Moisturiser

Yes, this has been long overdue and we have been enjoying both these wonderful duo from Neal's Yard Remedies Deliciously Ella for a while back since we last attended their enchanted event that morning here. We are talking about the Deliciously Ella Rose, Lime & Cucumber series of Facial Wash and Moisturiser. They are truly a wonder to use.

Deliciously Ella is a collaborative effort by Ella Mills, award-winning author and blogger (and proud cafe owner of The Mae Deli in London) and Neal's Yard Remedies, to bring forth a series of skincare range that go hand-in-hand with Ella's philosophies, as well as the brand - healthy, skin-friendly and totally wholesome products that make a difference to the skin, as much as how Ella advocates her healthy living by eating clean and responsibly. She revealed that roses, turmeric, blueberries, lime and cucumber are some of the ingredients she often used in her cooking, hence, she handpicked them to be the basis of the creation of this skincare range. The result? A truly hydrating and refreshing skincare products.

[FACES] The Exquisite Sharing of Melvita's Nectar Suprême The Serum & Oil & All Things Organic With Didier Thevenin

We had the pleasure of attending one of our favourite French organic beauty brands, Melvita's new Nectar Suprême The Serum & Oil sharing session recently and got a chance to have a chat with the brand's Head of Global Training, Education & PR, Mr. Didier Thevenin. It was most definitely an eye-opener to be able to listen, first-hand from a trainer's perspective, in terms of how one should approach anti-ageing skincare while at the same time, embrace how we age, as naturally as possible, as women. So, here is our quick chat and our exquisite time with Melvita Malaysia that very beautiful afternoon, at Ciao Restorante. Thanks to our friends at Melvita Malaysia for the kind arrangement *_^

What epitomises beauty and women in the world of beauty? Flowers most definitely and one that truly would be able to capture a woman's heart is none other than the rose. Though we have confessed previously we are not a down to the core rose lover like most others would be, we still love to indulge in that little flowery pampering moments ever so often, and most likely than not, it would be one from the famous organic French beauty brand, Melvita. We would love to re-introduce you to the lovely complete organic wild roses scented range, Nectar de 3 Roses and handpicked a few of our favourites here to highlight. The 3 wild roses are Rosa Mosqueta from South of Chile, Rosa Canina from Vercos and Rosa Gallica from Regions of Drome.

[Review] Melvita Organic Pulpe De Rose Plumping Radiance Serum

We had the pleasure to try out Melvita's Organic Pulpe De Rose Plumping Radiance Serum, right about the same time when we were using their Pulpe De Rose Plumping Radiance Duo Facial Oil (reviewed here) previously. You would have guessed it right, we love that facial oil, and still do.

Organic skincare is something that will always get our interest piqued for natural ingredients from organic farming incorporated in a skincare product do not only make the product more appealing, they are also gentler to the skin and the environment and the world that we live in, and harvest from. That respect for our mother nature by French skincare brand like Melvita is something we truly appreciate. 

The Ingredients

Fine lines and wrinkles are a natural progression in life, but we can always have a better approach by preventing the aging process sooner by using an anti-aging product like the Melvita Pulpe De Rose Plumping Radiance Serum, at an earlier stage. This serum has a concentration of energizing and smoothing active ingredients, coupled with rose floral water, and it is designed to do just that - smooth away the signs of aging, first wrinkles to reveal a more radiant skin tone. Enriched with marsh clover, with recognized antioxidant properties, it provides long-lasting action to keep the skin firm and renewed.

We were extremely delighted when Melvita Malaysia approached us to try out some of their organic skincare products previously. One of them was this lovely concoction called Organic Pulpe De Rose Plumping Radiance Duo. We gladly said yes and a beautiful package filled with gorgeous pink roses was ready for LUMINNEJ. Super excited we were.
