Sunday Six Pt. 9
The perfect tote for work and travel. Sheer, juicy lips and cheeks. A concealer with SPF 50. Fall skincare.
ciele conceal & PROTECT SPF 50+ spot concealer – This concealer is blowing me away. It’s so blurring, super skin-like, and long-wearing without sinking into fine lines. And it also has SPF 50+. Super impressive. I wear shade 09 at the moment, but will probably mix in shade 05 as we go into winter.
I attended a ciele masterclass this week with founder and MUA Nikki De Roest this week and got some tips on application. Apply to the back of your hand, then pick up with the brush and place/blend where needed for the most skin-like look!
Violette FR Bisou Jelly – An actually new formula and format in a sea of tinted lip balms, Bisou Jelly is texturally satisfying and also beautiful on the lips. The lip balm stick has a pigmented core surrounded by a sheer jelly balm. It starts out quite sheer on the lips, but the pigment is buildable. It’s a slightly thinner balm formula, not melty-balmy but slightly waxier with a glossy sheen.
My favorite shades are Aïssa and Bonbon a la Rose.
Live Tinted Blush Crush – This is a gorgeous blush release, a serum-y liquid formula that leans dewy and skin-like. The shade curation is great, with pigmented shades that will work for fair to melanated skin. Swatches + application of the shades here:
NIOD Fractionated Eye Contour Concentrate – The best eye serum for depuffing, hands down. This is an old favorite, but I just cracked open a fresh bottle after not having it in my routines for a while and I’m so happy to have it back in my life. It’s fluid and ever so slightly oily, but absorbs into the skin beautifully. But its main function is not hydration (I use a separate eye cream). It really shines in softening fine lines and depuffing over time. If puffiness is not a central concern for you, you might not see its effects as dramatically, but I can always tell when I don’t have this in my life.
Dr. Sam’s Flawless Moisturizer Intense (10% off code BEKAHSUN) – A thick barrier-repairing moisturizer that doesn’t clog my pores. Sounds pretty simple, but for my extremely congestion-prone skin, it’s actually quite difficult to find something that hits all these marks.
It also contains some of my favorite ingredients: centella asiatica, madecassoside, and the very trendy ectoin.
Dagne Dover Allyn Tote (code BEKAHSUN25 for 25% off) – The medium bag in Onyx is perfect black leather work tote. Period. It’s minimal, sleek, and versatile enough for everyday use. The soft, pebbled leather of this bag hides any signs of wear and it goes with any outfit, from casual to workwear, from the office to the gym.
Like all Dagne Dover bags, the compartments in this bag are extremely pragmatic. There’s a 13” padded laptop compartment, a clip-in insulated water bottle holder, a detachable key leash, an exterior phone pocket, and multiple interior slip pockets. Plus, it’s the perfect size for fitting under the seat in front of you if you are flying.

ooh, wait, is this a glasses case with a key ring?!
I have been going back and forth on the niod serum! I may try it during their Black Friday sale. Puffiness isn’t my issue, my fine lines are still quite minimal but always looking to prevent things from getting worse. Tbh my biggest new issue is loss of firmness, especially on my eyelids themselves. Ah, life one week from turning 39!
