    Review | Spa Sciences LELA Device

    May 15, 2022

    Hi Everyone!

    Today, I’m reviewing the Spa Sciences LELA device. I’ve previously reviewed the AERO device (read my review).

    This is a 4-in-1 ultrasonic skin spatula for deep cleansing, exfoliation, lifting & serum infusion to reveal radiant skin.

    • Cleaning Mode – deeply removes and cleans dirt and oil from the skin and unclogs pores
    • Ion+ Technology – removes dirt and debris from your skin at a particle level using water to help rid your pores of buildup
    • Ion- Technology – apply your serums/cream or moisturizers so the products get deeper in the skin
    • Lifting Mode – tighten and lift your skin + electronic muscle stimulation

    The Lela comes in two colours Pink and Mint (currently unavailable). It retails for $29.99 USD. I have the mint AERO device, it might be slightly different since the AERO is shiny and the LELA has a different texture. The pink appears slightly different from my pictures.

    I had only seen pictures of it straight on, so I didn’t realize the device would be so flat. I thought it would be similar to my AERO device. It’s good that it’s flat because it allows you to hold it at all angles. Especially if you’re using the lifting setting. The lid goes on tightly, I think it could use a ridge/ribbing so it’s easier to grip when you pull it off.

    The ultrasonic sound from the device might affect some people. It’s different from just having the device on, but when you make contact with your skin, the ultrasonic sound is obviously much closer and you can feel the vibrations/sound in your head (if that makes sense lol). One time, I was using my noise cancelling headphones and I couldn’t hear it as much, so you can block out the sound with music.

    When I used the cleaning and ion+ technology mode, I noticed that there was a fine mist of water spraying when I lifted the spatula off my face. It did remove some buildup from my face. It was cool and gross at the same time lol.

    Sometimes when I apply my nightly skincare, it FEELS like I have a layer of products on my face, but since I’ve been using this, I haven’t felt that.

    RATING: 4/5

    Is this device absolutely necessary? No, but I think it’s a fun one to use every now and then.

    Have you tried any devices from Spa Sciences?

    Love,

  • March 2018 Product Empties

    March 31, 2018

    Hi Everyone!

    I finished quite a lot of products this month and most of them are some of my skincare faves. Here are March’s product empties:

    The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Foam – I love the smell of this and it gives you that squeaky clean feeling after using it.

    Repurchase? Absolutely! This was my 2nd or 3rd tube of the cleanser.

    Rainforest of the Sea Frxxxtion Stick 3-in-1 Exfoliating Stick (read my review)- I really liked this. I was recommended it by a friend and I know why she loves it. I compared this to the Pixi Peel & Polish . TIP: You know when you’ve finished a lipstick and you can’t push up anymore, but there’s still a lot of lipstick in the tube? This is the same. I was able to scrape out a full face’s worth of cleanser from my tiny, travel-sized stick.

    Repurchase? YES! I would definitely get the full-sized version.

    Pixi Glow Tonic – I really liked this. It made my skin look good.

    Repurchase? Yes. (UPDATE: I have realized that I am allergic to witch hazel which is in glow tonic).

    Palmer’s Coconut Oil Body Cream (read my review) – I was sent the Coconut Oil products from Palmer’s Canada. Out of the three products I received, this was my least fave.  The cream is very thick and good for using before bed on hands, elbows and feet, but I don’t really like how it comes in a tub.

    Repurchase? I don’t think I will be repurchasing the cream, but I would get the lotion.

    Palmer’s Coconut Oil Body Oil (read my review) – This was another product received by Palmer’s Canada. I really liked using it after showering.

    Repurchase? Yes! It made my skin feel as soft as a baby’s bottom!

    Simple Skincare Cleansing Facial Wipes – I really like these. They are good for sensitive skin and they have a bit of a texture to get makeup off nicely.

    Repurchase? I already bought a replacement at Winners for $5.99.

    Urban Decay Naked Skin Color Correcting Fluid in Green – I got a sample of this and it did the job, but I don’t think I’d pay for a full-size version. There are colour correcting concealers that are a lot cheaper that you can get from the drugstore.

    Repurchase? I would buy the Naked Skin Concealer by Urban Decay, but not a colour correcting one.

    Revlon Nearly Naked Pressed Powder in 030 Medium –  This powder was okay. It was too dark for me. I’d rather get the Maybelline Fit Me Powder (I’ve read good reviews on that).

    Repurchase? I don’t even know if they sell it in stores anymore. Even if they did, I probably wouldn’t repurchase.

    Bobbi Brown Lipstick in Sandwash Pink – I don’t think I’d get the full-sized at full price. This was a deluxe sample from Sephora. It was a beautiful colour, but too pink on me. When I was at the MAC Warehouse Sale in December, I picked up the shade Bare Pink (which is more of a peachy-pink) for $10 which I haven’t opened yet.

    Repurchase? No.

    Essence Volume Stylist 18h Lash Extension Mascara – I love it and it’s less than $6! Although my tube did dry out fairly quickly, it’s half the price of other drugstore brands and a fraction of designer mascaras.

    Repurchase? Maybe.

    What were your product empties and what would you repurchase?

    Love,
