Sonsie Skincare – Beyond Healthy Skin
Sonsie Skincare products were developed by digital creator Marie von Behrens-Felipe, later joined by the iconic Pamela Anderson as a co-founder and co-owner. Together, they champion a less-is-more philosophy when it comes to skincare. According to Pamela, to be Sonsie means to be sensible, sensual, supportive and strong.
As someone who’s reached the age of 48, simplifying my skincare routine became one of my priorities, prompting me to eagerly try the Sonsie bundle.
All three Sonsie products are formulated without sulfates, phthalates, parabens, or silicone, and they proudly bear the labels of being vegan and cruelty-free—an essential factor for me, having followed a vegan lifestyle for nearly three decades.
Sonsie Multi Moisture Mask
Among the Sonsie products, the Multi Moisture Mask stands out as my favorite. I apply it before bedtime, allowing its rejuvenating effects to work their magic overnight. Upon waking, I notice firmer, less red, and minimized lines, leaving my skin feeling revitalized.
Sonsie Super Serum
The Super Serum serves as an excellent daily moisturizer, eliminating the need for a separate eye cream. Applied to my face, neck, and around the eyes, it delivers a natural healthy shine that accentuates the skin’s inherent beauty, eschewing the overly shiny trend that doesn’t appeal to me personally.
Sonsie Basic Balm
Lastly, the Sonsie Basic Balm is my go-to hydrating lip balm, providing nourishment day and night for soft, supple lips.
I appreciate that these products are designed to celebrate your natural beauty, embracing you as you are right now instead of attempting to change you into something you’re not.
Rinna Beauty – Lisa Rinna’s Reflection
California-born Lisa Rinna, with her Portuguese and Italian heritage, was destined to become an icon. Her extensive modeling and acting career highlights her as one of the most consistent and hardworking entertainers in the U.S. In addition to being a proud mother and entrepreneur, Lisa is celebrated for her iconic lips, which inspired her to launch her own beauty brand in her 50s. Her brand’s message—”Be strong, be confident, be sexy, be yourself”—encourages everyone to live courageously and authentically.
I tried two of her lip kits: The Pinky Lip Kit and the Heidi Lip Kit. As a beauty professional, I was thoroughly impressed with the formulations, color combinations, and overall look and feel of her products. The lip liners glided smoothly on my lips without any dryness, a testament to the quality I expect from an icon. Even her packaging is bold, reflecting her vibrant personality in every product. To make her brand even more perfect, her products are vegan and cruelty-free.
So, these are my personal favorite beauty products from iconic brands and personalities for this summer. If you haven’t tried them, I hope you will now.
Have an iconic summer!
