Maelove Skincare

* I was gifted the below products in exchange for this post.  All opinions expressed in this post are mine alone. Thank you for supporting the brands that support Sparkles and Lattes.

For the five weeks I have been using a new to me skincare line, Maelove. When Maelove reached out to me to try some products from them, I immediately went to their website to check out who they were, what they offer and if it would be something that I was interested in. 

I loved the idea that they were a luxury skincare line without the luxurious cost. Each item ranges in price from $18.95 to $74.95. And the higher end only has a couple products in that price range. And you can bundle items for an even better discount (Serum Trio, Cream Trio, Fade Scars-Spots Kit, and the Clean Skin Kit).

I received six products to try and I have used them all. I will break down a bit about each and then tell you what were my favorites.

Maelove The Refresher

Now I have been using the same cleanser on my skin for years. So when this came, I was excited to try it and see if it compared to my current cleanser. And guess what? It is even better. What I like the best about it is the minty feeling and smell. 

I pump one pump into my hands every morning in the shower, rub them together and massage into my face and neck. The cleanser suds up and awakens my skin each morning. I loved it so much that I even took it on vacation with me to Graeagle.

It doesn't leave my skin feeling gritty or dry. And it sets me up for The Glow Maker, the sunscreen and the eye cream.

Now I normally use this in the shower in the morning and in the sink in the evening.

Maelove Stargaze Enhanced Retinol

I think I was most excited about this product because I haven't used retinol in a long time. Too long. And this one is gentle for newer users like me, but still gives you a good dose of retinol. At first, I read that you should use this every other night to every three nights. And then as you get used to it, you can use it nightly. Once you use this bottle up and your skin has adjusted to it, you can move onto the Moonlight Retinal Super Serum.

I didn't feel any irritation, sensitivity or dryness from using this retinol. It goes on smoothly and my skin soaked it right now. After a month of use, I saw that my my face was dark sun spots were lessened, my pores were smaller and my skin looked brighter and more even.

Maelove The Glow Maker

Many years ago, Missy gifted me a vitamin C serum and I used it all up and then never bought more. That was a huge mistake. So when I tried The Glow Maker, I was impressed. It combines vitamin c, vitamin e, ferulic acid and hyaluronic acid. Which basically means that it leaves your skin feeling soft, tight and very hydrated. 

This serum has been a lifesaver as the Summer sun and heat have been drying my skin out. It makes my skin glow. I used this every morning after I get out of the shower. I let it sit on my skin while I brush my teeth and blow dry my hair.

I didn't know the benefits of vitamin c and what it could really do for my skin. If you are like me or you just want to learn more, you can visit this guide. It taught me a lot about skincare and vitamin c.

Maelove Eye Enhancer

After using the Glow Maker, I turn to the eye cream. Now that I am back in the office full time, I find that I have more dark circles and puffiness under my eyes. I have been using the eye cream and I have noticed a huge change. My under eyes don't look as puffy and the dark circles are very diminished. I love that it contains coffee and gives my eyes a more rested look.

Now this is a gel consistency. It has a yellowish color and I wasn't sure if it would blend in well, but it did. And a little goes a long way. So even though it is only 0.5 ounces, it will last a long time. The picture below is after about 2 weeks of use.

Maelove The Sun Protector

I have used many different brands of face sunscreen, but I am always changing it up. And if I am being honest, it is only in the last two years that I wear face sunscreen every single day. I wear it on my bare skin or under my makeup. Even during quarantine I put it on my face. I am so nervous about skin damage to my face and my body.

This sunscreen has spf 30 in it and it is a mineral sunscreen. So much better for your skin and body. It is very light, goes on smoothly and blends into your face very well. It can be used as a face primer too, which means you don't have to add another primer to your morning routine. A little goes a long way.

I also brought this to Graeagle and used it daily and my husband used it too. He loves it so much and asked me to order him one.

Maelove Love 31 Face Oil

This is the most expensive product on the website, but I feel like it is justified. It has 31 botanicals in it and took a lot of research to make this face oil. 

I was worried it would make my face too oily, so I have been using it at night. And a little goes a long way, so when you break the cost down over months and months (I barely made a dent in the bottle), it is very affordable. 

This face oil smells really good. Heavenly.

I use this ever night as my last step in my face cleansing routine.

So what did I think of Maelove products?

I loved them. I was skeptical that I wouldn't love them as much as my tried and true products, but I have been so happy with my results. I love the way my face feels each day. I love that the products are suitable for sensitive skin and the ingredients that they use in their products are the best quality.

What was my favorite product?

This is tough as I really loved them all, but I would go with The Glow Maker. Though the Cleanser is a close second. But really any of the products I received are amazing.
