For all you sweet tooth out there, there's a brand you definitely need to check out!!! 
Vecua Honey is a Japanese brand that's aims to enrich both your skin and soul by including ingredients like honey, fruits and flowers. Vecua Honey is all about stylishness, luxury, and being animal friendly.  


"We believe that true natural beauty comes from within"


I had the opportunity to attend the Vecua Honey blogger event a while back and got to try their Limited Edition Fermented Honey range. 

Today I wanted to share with you guys what happened during the event and also my review on the products! 


The event was held at this super yummy restaurant, HAAKON.


HAAKON is a philosophy, a way of life, an embodiment of Scandinavian healthy living. 
They understand the importance to maintain a well-balanced diet that is in harmony with our body and the spiritual comfort that we need. 


The founders shared with us how their mission is to provide great tasting healthy food, without the unreasonable price tag.


In love with the juice!
I had the cold pressed juice (Acai Detox) - Organic Acai, Coconut, Apple and Blueberries


For my main, I had the Vegan Salad Bowl which included:
Avocado, Pink Hummus, Quinoa, Edamame, and Tomato served with Lettuce
I got this because it had my favorite things, avocado, hummus, and quinoa!


THIS ACAI BOWL IS LIFE!!!
It's a must try item~!


So at the venue, we got to learn more and try out the Limited Edition products from Vecua Honey which includes 3 products, Nature Honey Hot Cleansing Gel, Wonder Honey Honey Dew Mousse Conc Deep Treatment, and Wonder Honey Honey Dew Rich and Full Moisture Jerry.

Here's the moment you've been waiting for!
Introducing and reviewing the products!



 Combat a lack of skin moisture with this essence that is velvety in texture, and contains rich Hokkaido acacia honey and milk-derived ceramides. The product dissolves into a mousse-like thin film when it is applied on the face, which will help with better facial blood circulation and boost cell metabolism. The smooth texture forms a barrier to protect the skin while delivering moisture to it and promotes skin clarity. A delicate floral honey aroma lingers on the skin after application.


FULL INGREDIENTS:
Water , tri ( caprylic acid / capric acid ) glyceryl , BG, cetanol , PEG-15 glyceryl stearate , shea butter , squalane , sphingomyelin , soybean seed extract , honey , yogurt solution , lactoferrin , hydrolyzed collagen , milk extract , ( hydroxyethyl acrylate / acryloyl dimethyl taurine Na) copolymers , sorbitan isostearate , ethanol , glycerin , glyceryl stearate , polysorbate 60 , carbon dioxide , lactic acid , lactose , partially hydrogenated horse oil, phenoxyethanol, methylparaben , perfume

– Hokkaido acacia honey
– Milk ceramide (has its own nano multi­layered structure)
– Lactoferrin (a protein present in milk with bactericidal and iron-binding properties)
– Yogurt solution (extracted from the whey of fermented product and
includes α-hydroxy acids, amino acids, vitamins and minerals to enhance skin metabolism)
– Horse oil (to prevent skin drying and strengthen the protective barrier)
– Squalane, shea butter, collagen (moisture), soybean seed extract.


Use this essence after a toner/ softener lotion. Apply essence (size of a cherry) on the entire face, then follow with your usual moisturiser.



Although the product states it's a 'mousse', it's more like foam that instantly melts and gets absorbed into your skin without leaving a sticky feeling. A small pump is enough for the entire face and it'll keep your face hydrated the entire day!




What some people enjoy most during a cleansing facial is the process of removing impurities through a cleansing gel. Massage this product, Nature Honey Warming Cleansing Gel, on your face and you will feel a warm sensation akin to a steam treatment.

The new cleansing gel warms up immediately to create the same relaxing sensation at a facial treatment. How does it work? Thick honey gel sticks fast to skin while adding warmth that opens up pores, promotes circulation and whisks away makeup and other impurities. Botanical glycerin leaves the skin supple, hydrated and clear as the gel is rinsed off.


FULL INGREDIENTS:
Water, ethanol, squalane, cetyl ethylhexanoate, dimethicone, diphenyl phenyl trimethylolpropane triisostearate, isotridecyl isononanoate, almond oil, Keshisouekisu, licorice root extract, hesperidin, ceramide 1, ceramide 2, ceramide 3, ceramide 6Ⅱ, soybean sterol, tocopherol up, honey, honey extract, biotin, lentil seed extract, propolis extract, yogurt liquid, royal jelly, royal jelly extract, hot spring water, evening primrose oil, lactobacillus / royal jelly fermentation broth, Lactobacillus / fermented milk, BG, ethylhexyl glycerol, citric acid, sodium acetate 5Na Pentetokuen acid, glycerine, coconut oil alkyl glucosides, sodium chloride, hydrogenated lecithin, phenoxyethanol, perfume


Basic ingredients: Hokkaido Acacia honey, Fermented royal jelly, Royal jelly extract, Propolis extract, Lentil bean extract, Izumo hot spring water.

Specific ingredients: Botanical glycerin, Licorice (Chinese medicine softens outer skin layer), Perilla extract (antibacterial), Hesperidin (vitamin P found in citrus peel).


Place a moderate amount (about the size of a large cherry) on dry fingertips and massage thoroughly into the skin to remove foundation and other impurities, avoiding the eye and mouth area. Rinse clean with cool or warm water. Cleansing function peaks after one or two minutes of massaging and is complete after three minutes.


This is my FAVORITE item! This warming sensation is just amazing!
The smell is sweet like honey and I haven't been able to use anything else.
I've tried other hot cleansing gels but this one is so far my favorite!



The essence gel cream firmly moisturises and delivers concentrated ingredients into the bare skin. Its jelly-like dense texture, which stores rich moisture and Hokkaido acacia honey, wraps the skin comfortably overnight while you are resting. When it is applied in the day, the gel cream allows the blockage of ultraviolet light from damaging the skin layer. Cease worrying about dry skin with this gel cream, and let the subtle honey scent boost your mood.


FULL INGREDIENTS:
Water , glycerin , propanediol , diglycerol , DPG, Coptis root extract , chamomile flower extract , licorice root extract , pomegranate seed oil , shea butter , carrot root extract , honey , royal jelly extract , ( acrylates / alkyl acrylate (C10-30 ) ) cross polymer , BG, PEG-400, PPG-6 decyltetradeceth -30 , xanthan gum , soybean oil , hydroxide K, oxybenzone -4 , phenoxyethanol , methylparaben , fragrance


– Hokkaido acacia honey
– Pomegranate seed oil (high antioxidant power)

– Ginseng root extract (contains vitamin A to promote blood circulation and prevent wrinkles)

– Licorice root extract (anti-inflammatory)
– Coptis root extract (antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and has a slimming effect)
– Shea butter (moisture)/ chamomile flower extract (anti-inflammatory)/ royal jelly (anti­aging)


HOW TO USE:
After washing and cleansing the skin, take an appropriate amount (large pearl-size) and apply it on the entire face. At the same time, pat and massage the gel cream on your face so it gets absorbed by the skin.


I love the floral fruity, and honey scent of this 'jerry' (yes it's supposed to be 'jelly')... Japanese people have a hard time differentiating 'R' and 'L'. hahaha
I love using this as a sleeping mask and it feels very lightweight compared to the other sleeping masks I've tried. The smell is great, it absorbs into my face effortlessly, and SMELLS GREAT!


Vecua Honey also has Christmas Bundle Sets! Perfect for this season!
They're great gifts for family, colleagues, and friends!
