Since I'm a vegetarian and I really hate cooking, I decided to test out the multiple different meal delivery services. I tested out all of the most popular meal delivery services out there and now that I have I'm here to share the pros and cons of each one!

It has been a while since I was this excited about a skincare line. I’ve used every over-the-counter name brand that I can think of, and I was quickly starting to lose hope that there was a “holy grail” product out there for me. That was until Maelove reached out to me and offered to send me some products.

It seriously must have been fate. Because when is started browsing the website I realized that these products were exactlywhat I was searching for. I had just said I needed a retinal for my nighttime skincare routine and the first product I saw was the Moonlight Retinal Super Serum! This retinal has prescription level benefits by helping to improve uneven skin tone and help clear up acne. As someone who battles with cystic acne—this caught my attention right away.

There were two other oils that really captured mine and my boyfriend’s attention—because yes, he uses my skincare products ALL THE TIME. After doing more research we really liked the Super Smooth Resurfacing Serum which features a potent complex of both alpha and beta hydroxy acids to unclog your pores and to help shed stubborn dead skin cells to reveal smoother, softer, and radiant skin. I mentioned my boyfriend uses my products but not in a bad way, but in a because he trusts me sort of way. Whenever I’m sent products or even when I’m curating my monthly subscription boxes, I try to always get something for him. His biggest battle is clogged pores, so he’s been using the Super Smooth Resurfacing Serum a lot lately and he’s noticed such a huge difference!

The next product that peaked our interest was the NIA 10 Calming Serum which calms sensitive skin and reduce redness. Niacinamide is also a great skin conditioner and an anti-aging agent that can reduce the appearance of fine lines and hyper-pigmentation. I think everyone needs a “staple” product like this in their cabinets. When you wash your face or use products on it—your skin will eventually start to resist it. It may cause redness or irritation, but a calming serum like the NIA 10 Calming Serum can help to combat that and calm it. This is what I like to call my “Sunday afternoon” serum because it’s the perfect break from the products and makeup I’ve used on my face all week.

As I said before, Maelove read my mind when it came time to needing a retinal, but I also happened to have just run out of my favorite nighttime face cream. Right before I was about to purchase more, I saw that Maelove had a Night Renewerwhich improves your skin texture, fades dark spots and diminishes the appearance of lines, wrinkles and pores. And when I say that I go to bed feeling hydrated…I mean it.

The last product I picked out was a face wash—because what’s a skincare review if you haven’t tested out the face washes? I picked up the Refresher Clarifying Cleanser which is gentle enough to use twice a day, but provides a gentle cleansing and exfoliation. To say I love the way my skin feels after using this product is an understatement. I can’t really explain it, but after I use the Refresher Clarifying Cleanser, I feel as though I just exfoliated for 30-minutes, but while using the product it doesn’t feel that way at all. It’s very creamy and gentle—yet I feel refreshed and 100% clean after using it. It’s magic I swear. This also may be a niche note, but did anyone else buy Christmas gifts for their “frenemies” in middle school? And most of those gifts were lotions and perfumes from 5 Below? The organic peppermint and spearmint oil infusion brings me right back to that time in my life. And I don’t mean it in a bad way at all—when I smelled this cleanser for the first time it was like a burst of nostalgia. I literally look forward to use the Refresher Clarifying Cleanserevery day.

The last product I received was the luxury Love 31 Precious Face Oil. And when I say luxury—I mean luxury. Infused with 31 botanical extracts and vitamins including Vitis Vinifera, Cannabis Sativa, Jojoba, Rose, Argan, Hazelnut and Baobab. Love 31 Precious Face Oil has a rich, moisturizing finish without the heaviness and the oily residue common in other face oils. This face oil nourishes, hydrates, repairs and protects your skin. You can even wear it as your moisturizer before you put on makeup because it does not clump or dry up. My boyfriend and I use this product daily. This is my favorite oil to use with my guasha while I listen to high frequency vibes on YouTube. It’s a whole vibe.

My typical routine with these products includes using the Refresher Clarifying Cleanser in the morning then using a combo of the Super Smooth Resurfacing Serum on my chin and jawline (where I have cystic acne) and on my nose and cheekers (where my pores are most visible) and then when it’s dry I put the NIA 10 Calming Serum all over my face and use my guasha. These two oils are “clear” so they don’t have a color or any smells to it. I do look like a glowing goddess after my a.m. routine. 

Then when I’m done for the day, I’ll use the Refresher Clarifying Cleanser to wipe away all the grossness from the day. Then I go in with the Moonlight Retinal Super Serum on my chin and jawline (where I have cystic acne) and I use my rose quartz roller to set the serum on those trouble spots. The reason I use the Moonlight Retinal Super Serum is because this serum DOES have a tint to it. It’s a milk yellow color and when it’s on the skin it kinda looks like a “stain.” My cheek doesn’t turn yellow or anything, but you can visibly see the product on your skin. Don’t worry thought—it completely fades overnight and/or washes away with one wash. Once that’s dry, I use my guasha and the Love 31 Precious Face Oiland let that sink into my skin. I will typically do anything else I have to do for the night—you know like adulting stuff like switch out the laundry, make the bed, take the dog out, etc. Right before bed (and when the oils on my face have set) I’ll put some of the Night Renewer on my face for overnight hydration. My nighttime routine is a bit more disciplined because I have a husky who sheds a lot and always wants to cuddle—I have to make sure all of my oils and Night Renewer facetime cream is set and dried before I crawl into bed with him because these products are “wet” (not in an oily way though) and dog hair sticks to my face if these products haven’t fully dried yet 😂.

I have been using Maelove for just over a month and I have noticed a huge change in my skin. Especially with the Moonlight Retinal Super Serum—I noticed a change after just one use! That has definitely become my holy grail product that I was looking for. 

If I had to recommend my top 3 products that I’ve received I would definely suggest the Moonlight Retinal Super Serum(especially if you battle acne like me), the Refresher Clarifying Cleanser (I will be re-purchasing this for sure) and the Super Smooth Resurfacing Serum (just based off my boyfriend’s before and after of using this product alone).

The next few products I am very interested in testing out is the Plush Cream which is for those with oily skin this face cream thoroughly hydrate, nourish, calm, and soothe your skin. I’m also thinking about picking up the Eye Enhancer Eye Cream which is an amber-colored gel that helps improve the texture, tone and radiance around your eyes, so you can always look your freshest. And the Deep Exfoliator Facial Scrub, you guys know I love a good face scrub and this one helps to unclog pores, remove impurities and buff away dead skin cells to give you baby smooth skin. 

I can’t thank Maelove enough for reaching out to me and solving my skincare product dilemma I was having at the time—but with Maelove I’m not having that problem anymore! Now that Maelove is my go-to skincare product choice I will be sure to purchase some more products and share my review with you 🥰.
