Your New Beauty Bestie from Finland: The Lowdown on Lumene

Hey bestie! Listen, I stumbled upon this really interesting beauty brand recently – Lumene. They're Finnish, you know? And their whole thing is about using all sorts of Arctic goodies – berries, super pure water, all that natural stuff. I feel like that's so in right now!

Basically, Lumene is like this cool mix of nature and science, you get me? They don't just slap some herbs in a jar; they actually develop awesome formulas to make your skin glow and look amazing. Plus, they're all about being sustainable, which I totally dig.

You know, I think this brand is pretty popular, especially in Europe. I've seen their stuff in some stores around here too. They're not like super high-end, but definitely not cheap either – somewhere in the middle, but the quality seems really good.

So, I did a little digging online to see what their bestsellers are. People are raving about their Nordic-C [VALO] Glow Boost Essence – it's a vitamin C serum. Everyone says it really brightens their skin and gives it this healthy glow. Their CC Color Correcting Cream SPF 20 is also a cult favorite. Apparently, it evens out your skin tone and looks super natural, and it has SPF, which is a total win! Oh, and their Nordic Hydra [LÄHDE] line for hydration is super popular too, especially if you have sensitive skin. And there's also their Invisible Illumination Instant Glow Beauty Serum – lots of people use it under makeup to give their skin that lit-from-within look.

Price-wise, they seem pretty reasonable, I'd say. Most of their stuff is somewhere in the $15 to $50 range, depending on what you're getting. Serums might be a bit pricier, and basic moisturizers might be cheaper.

So, the real question is: should you try it? I read a bunch of reviews, and honestly, most people are obsessed!

Here's what people online are saying (the good stuff):

  • Natural Ingredients: Everyone loves that they actually use all those Arctic ingredients.
  • Amazing Hydration: Their Hydra line gets a lot of love for being super moisturizing.
  • Glowing Skin: Lots of people notice their skin looks fresher and more radiant after using their products.
  • Lightweight Formulas: Reviewers say the products absorb quickly and don't feel sticky.
  • Great Value for Money: Many think Lumene offers really good quality for the price.
  • Good for Sensitive Skin: Some people with sensitive skin have had good experiences with certain Lumene lines.
But there are a few things to keep in mind (the not-so-good stuff I found):
  • Results Vary: Like with any skincare, it's not a one-size-fits-all, and some people didn't see a huge difference.
  • Scent: While many like the natural scents, some might find them a bit strong.
  • Makeup Longevity: Some reviews on their makeup suggest it might not last as long as some other brands.

Overall, here's what I'm thinking:

I honestly think Lumene is definitely worth a try, especially if you're into natural ingredients and want that healthy, glowing skin look. So many people rave about their moisturizers and glow-boosting serums, and the price point is pretty good. Of course, like with any beauty product, it might not work for everyone, but the positive reviews are definitely promising.

I'm thinking of starting with their vitamin C serum. What do you think? Maybe we can even order something together? Let me know your thoughts! ❤️


Erborian BB Creme Au Ginseng Review

Hey girl, you HAVE to try this Erborian BB cream with ginseng! I know, I know, another BB cream, but hear me out. This one is seriously amazing.

First off, it gives the most incredible dewy, "your skin but better" finish. Like, I swear my skin looks lit from within. And it's not greasy at all, which is a major plus for my oily T-zone.

The ginseng extract is supposed to do all sorts of amazing things for your skin, like brighten it and plump it up. I don't know how much of that is actually true, but my skin definitely feels smoother and more hydrated after using it.

The coverage is light to medium, which is perfect for everyday wear. It evens out my skin tone and covers any redness I have, but it still looks really natural. Plus, it has SPF 25, so I'm protected from the sun too.

  • Calms redness and irritation
  • Evens out skin tone
  • Provides light to medium coverage
  • Contains SPF 30

Cons:

  • Can be a bit drying for some skin types
  • May not be enough coverage for those with severe redness
