Celeteque DermoCosmetics Eyebrow Defining Kit

Hey dears!

Since most of us in the Philippines are familiar with the phrase "kilay is life," I think it is safe to say that many who likes to apply makeup agree that having well-groomed and defined brows is important to achieving a great makeup look.

I have struggled in finding the right products to achieve this. I find that my brows are a bit tricky to work with because they aren't even and the hair is thick. Even the thickness from the inner half to the outer part is too different. And so, I've tried brow products in different forms such as pencils, powders, gel, and mascara. Right now, I'm somehow content with what I use to achieve a decent brow and that is that there should always be a brow mascara at all times but I still need another one to fill some spaces. So I try out different kinds like pencils, etc.

Considering that I've experimented with products and use more than one for my brows, I formed this curiosity (or fixation...?) to try and try products from different brands in various forms. I guess it's a good thing for a blogger to have that so I can share my experiences to my readers. 

Anyway, enough with my story and on today's main topic. It's about the...

Celeteque DermoCosmetics Eyebrow Defining Kit

A kit is worth PhP 600.00 each.

Celeteque 2-in-1 Eye Bag Miracle Kit

Hey loves!

Just last Monday evening, I had a difficult time trying to sleep. I went to bed a few minutes past 11pm and at around 2:30 am, I was still awake. According to my Fitbit app, I slept 2:46 am. I rarely get those difficulty sleeping attacks so I tried tracing the reason why I had it and the only thing I can think of is the matcha latte I drank at around 5:30 pm. Oh well.

And since that was the case, the morning after the incident, while I was getting ready to go to work, I noticed my eye bags are more puffy and under eyes were darker than normal. Ugh. Good thing I like wearing makeup so I know that I have something in my stash to help me look less tired and sleepless.

One of the products I considered and actually used is the...

Celeteque 2-in-1 Eye Bag Miracle Kit

PhP 745.00

This was sent to me along with the other product from the brand. The shade they gave me is Natural.

Product info from the labels:

Product description from the press release:

Say goodbye to raccoon eyes with Céleteque DermoCosmetics’ 2-in-1 Eyebag Miracle Kit (P745), which is a two-component solution to the dark circles under your eyes that may be caused by poor sleep, allergies, hormone levels, or even the food you eat or the genes you’re born with. The kit contains an Eye Balm to reduce puffiness under the eye and an Eye Foundation in light, natural, and beige shades to cover and lighten your eyebags. Ingredients include the trademarked Cytobiol Lumin-eye to reduce puffiness and under-eye bags; Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) to nourish, hydrate, and firm up the skin, minimizing lines under the eyes; and antioxidants like Ubiquinone, Squalane, and Ginkgo Biloba leaf extract, all of which help prevent further skin damage.

So as mentioned, it's a kit that contains a balm that acts like an eye moisturizer that helps moisturize and reduce puffiness, and an eye foundation that will help make your under eyes appear lighter.

So the balm is colorless and light. It's mildly scented too and non-sticky. It may look like petroleum jelly, but do not worry because it is lightweight.

It spreads smoothly on skin although it takes a few minutes for it to set on my skin. Sometimes I do not wait for it to dry and just add the eye foundation on top of it immediately. I don't see any difference in the effects if I wait or not anyway.

This is the eye foundation. I was curious as to why they only call it "foundation" instead of the usual "concealer." Apparently, the coverage is pretty light! My guess is that since Celeteque is a skin care brand first, the priority here is to keep your skin hydrated and make sure it can still breathe even under their cosmetics. So maybe it's better to keep things light than pile on so much pigments and other ingredients...? That's just my theory though and I just feel like concealer is more concentrated compared to foundations. . What do you think?

These are the swatches. On the left is the eye foundation alone and on the right is with the balm. The balm doesn't alter the shade which is a good thing.

Here's how it performs on my under eyes.

The eye foundation has a light to medium coverage. It didn't entirely cover the darkness under the eyes but it did brighten it. The concealer is buildable but the difference is not much and I don't think it's a good idea to apply too much product around the eye area because that's a sensitive area. If you have darker under eyes but you still want to use this, better have a corrector handly for better coverage and skin tone match.

I appreciate that this doesn't cake nor crease and as mentioned, it feels lightweight. It's a great everyday product. You don't look too made up, but still look fresh and healthy! 

And that's all I can say about this product. Thoughts?

Cheers,

Celeteque DermoCosmetics Moisturizing Lip and Cheek Duo

Hello loves!

You're probably familiar with some of the products from Celeteque DermoCosmetics. I've been sharing my thoughts about the products I received last December and so far loving each and every one of them! 

Today, I'll share another of their product that is dual-purpose...

Celeteque DermoCosmetics Moisturizing Lip and Cheek Duo

in shades Rosy Blush and Soft Berry

Product info from the press release:

If you’re on the go and need a one-stop-shop solution to add some bloom to your look, you may just find the Céleteque DermoCosmetics Moisturizing Lip and Cheek Duo (P665), available in Rosy Blush and Soft Berry, is a lifesaver. This oil-free and streak-free mousse contains Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), which acts as an antioxidant that protects your lips and cheeks from free radicals that lead to dryness, as well as Sodium Hyaluronate and Glycerin, which help your skin retain moisture better, making it firmer, softer, and smoother for a more youthful appearance.

Okay, I'm not gonna lie... I really thought that it's quite expensive at PhP 665.00 and only has 1.6 ml of the product. But right after my first try, I think that the price was justified and I'll tell you why...

First, as you can see on the swatches, both shades are very pigmented. I was able to get this swatch with only one swipe.

The shades are both wearable and would suit both the lips and the cheeks!

Check out how they look on me on the photos below.

Soft Berry

This shade is a cool-toned pink.

I sort of added too much but I love the pink glow it gives my skin. 

On my lips it gives a beautiful creamy mix of magenta and purple.

Rosy Blush

This shade is like peachy pink!! LOVE!

The other one I put too much and I find this one too little.

However, I find this harder to get the color to be noticeable on the cheek compared to Soft Berry, but it gives a beautiful "your-lips-but-better" lippie!

Isn't it good?

As a lippie, do make sure that your lips are moisturized and well exfoliated because chappy lips are more noticeable with this applied. It doesn't dry lips, in fact, I find my lips softer when I wear it. It can stay a long while, but eating and drinking can easily wipe them away.

As a cheek tint, it doesn't stay too long on my oily skin. Reapplication is needed for me after 4 hours. What I do like is how natural it looks on my skin. It's like the colors are naturally produced by my cheek.

So as you can see, I think it's a pretty good product that does more than one job. It gives color on both lips and cheeks and it even helps retain moisture! And knowing that it's from Celeteque, it's hypoallergenic and dermatologically-tested. So going back to the price, I think this is worth it!

And that's what I think about the Celeteque DermoCosmetics Moisturizing Lip and Cheek Duo. What are your thoughts?

Also, its Vitamin E and sunflower oil content mattifies when rubbed unto skin all while keeping the skin moisturized even when under the sun.

This nifty product will soon be a summer staple, because it’s so easy to use.

Re-apply after swimming, perspiring, or whenever needed to maintain best protection. 

 When you want to look and feel flawless in the summer

Make sure your summer selfies don’t show an oil-slicked you. With Céleteque Dermoscience™ Sun Care Matte Moisturizer with SPF30 (P299 for 50mL), you get mattified double sunscreen protection against UVA/UVB rays during prolonged sun exposure. It hydrates the skin and lends the skin an oil-free and smooth matte finish. Hypoallergenic and safe for everyday use, it is also non-comedogenic and tested for efficacy and moisturization.

You’ll feel insta-relieved as the cool gel glides over your skin. Re-apply as often as possible until the sensation of intense dryness and heat subsides.
