The Summer of Skin Care! Thoughts on Drunk Elephant C-Firma Day Serum, Shaba Complex Eye Serum, Lala Retro Whipped Cream and Umbra Tinte Physical Daily Defense - Makeup and Beauty Blog
The summer of peel care is in full upshot! — and I'thousand currently using and loving the heck out of products from Drunk Elephant.
You've probably heard about them already. They've been makin' major waves lately, and it seems like everyone is talking nearly them (including me!).
For the record, this Drunk Elephant did non have as well many Coronas. It's a cruelty-gratuitous make out of Texas, and I really like their no-nonsense, counterbalanced approach to skin care.
Hither's some cool backstory on their website, but, basically, they see themselves as a "clean" skin care line, rather than a "natural" pare care line, and they incorporate both natural and synthetic ingredients, but the synthetic ingredients are things they believe are effective but aren't going to disrupt the way your trunk is designed to work.
And their name, "Drunk Elephant," comes from an ingredient they use in several of their products called marula oil. Legend has it that when elephants eat the fallen fruit of the marula tree…the fruit ferments in their tummies and gets them completely crunked!
Inexpensive drunks, those elephants.
C-Firma Day Serum
The product that lured me into loving the line was their C-Firma Day Serum ($80), which contains xv% 50-absorbic acid, ferulic acid and vitamin Eastward.
I heard it was comparable to Skinceuticals CE Ferulic, which I used for years to mellow out my pigmention probs, only I stopped using it when I got pregnant with the Coywolf.
Dude…sh*t is crazy expensive. It works, simply dropping $165 on a bottle of CE Ferulic got erstwhile real quick.
C-Firma costs half as much ($lxxx), which, I mean, isn't exactly budget…just it's A LOT less expensive than Skinceuticals.
Anyhow, I'm into it — so much so that I programme to snag a refill when I finish this bottle, whenever that happens…and I have no idea when it will happen because the canteen is opaque to preclude light from breaking down the Vitamin C.
But expert luck figuring out how much is left in there, LOL!
I'grand pretty sure that my cheek await plumper after using information technology?! I don't know for sure, but that area looks more than…voluminous than information technology did before, and my cheeks look less "sunken in."
Some people feel the serum is "stinky," like it smells similar sausages or hot dogs or lunch meat (that's what I've heard), just I don't actually call up information technology smells like anything at all.
My only issue with it is when the weather's hot, like during terminal week's heat wave. I can't stand up to wear it when information technology'southward hot considering the formula feels extra viscous and heavy on my skin. Other than that, though, it works, and I beloved it.
Shaba Complex Eye Serum and Lala Retro Whipped Foam
As for the Drunk Elephant products I similar but may or may non end up refilling, there's the $60 Shaba Complex Eye Serum, which has fermented black tea, copper peptides and Co-Q10 to go on the fine lines and dark circles from going buck wild; and the $lx Lala Retro Whipped Foam, which is a surprisingly moisturizing, lightweight face up cream with African oils (but no silicones, which is rarer and rarer among face up moisturizers these days).
I've been using both, forth with C-Firma, since April, and I like 'em. They layer well with other skin intendance products and work well under makeup.
My skin looks and feels moisturized when I use them, for certain, but I feel like my forty-something-twelvemonth-old peel needs an even more aggressive anti-aging approach.
Twenty-year-old Karen, though? She probably would have stockpiled them both.
Umbra Tinte Physical Daily Defense
I know that I've talked about Umbra Tinte Physical Daily Defense ($36) at length, so I won't rave about it again…but information technology rocks. It's a lightweight tinted physical sunscreen (and so its active ingredients reflect light rays instead of absorbing them), and information technology has a gorgeous, glowing finish.
The matter about physical sunscreens, though, is that they're usually thick and difficult to blend into your skin. Many of them also exit behind a white cast.
Umbra Tinte actually absorbs quickly and, considering it'southward tinted, doesn't exit behind one of those white casts.
I'm into Drunk Elephant, human being! And I'thousand going to try their T.50.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum ($90) next. Information technology'south supposed to be their version of Sunday Riley's Good Genes.
Super stoked about that.
The summer of pare care continues… 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty aficionado,
Karen
