This month marks a significant milestone for Maelys as it celebrates its one-year anniversary since its launch in Canada! Pronounced “my-lees”, this vibrant body care brand stands out with its bold and empowering messaging, which immediately captured my attention. While many of us have encountered various body sculpting and slimming products, Maelys uniquely embraces the philosophy of self-love with their fun motto, “For the Love of Bod.” Their refreshing take encourages individuals to prioritize their own desires and aesthetics, making it a brand that resonates with many. Whether you’re looking to boost your confidence or simply enjoy self-care, Maelys promotes a positive and sassy approach!Â
Every product in the Maelys lineup is crafted without parabens, phthalates, and SLS, ensuring a clean and ethical beauty choice. With PETA certification and a commitment to inclusivity, their formulations are tested on “real women of all shapes and sizes and levels of badass-ery.” The brand boasts a comprehensive range of products designed for every body part, including the B-FOXY Inner Thigh Firming Cream and the B-PERKY Lift and Firm Boob Mask. Although they offer a few facial products, their primary focus remains on body sculpting, showcasing their dedication to helping individuals achieve their desired body goals.Â
I recently received the B-FLEX Lift & Firm Arm Cream, B-FLAT Firming Belly Cream, and the B-TIGHT Booty Mask to evaluate. I must confess that my initial enjoyment of these products stems more from their luxurious textures and delightful scents rather than their promised slimming and smoothing effects. For anyone aiming to see tangible results, consistency is key—applying these products daily for a minimum of two months is essential. I have only just restarted this regimen, so I plan to provide an update in about 40 days, but for now, here are my first impressions of the products I tested!
Discover the Benefits of B-FLEX Lift & Firm Arm Cream*
The B-FLEX Lift & Firm Arm Cream is specifically formulated to target the triceps, often referred to as “bat wings.” It incorporates a blend of potent ingredients like red algae to promote tightening and smoothing of the skin’s surface, kangaroo paw flower extract (Anigozanthos Flavidus Extract) for hydration and firming, and pink pepperslim extract (Schinus Terebinthifolius Seed Extract) which is known for its lipolytic properties that can help reduce fat cells. With consistent use over two months, users should expect to see arms with a more defined silhouette and overall improved shape. Notably, the active ingredients are prominently listed, which adds to the transparency of the formulation; however, it’s intriguing that caffeine, often found in slimming products, is not included in this particular cream.
Ingredients: Water (Aqua, Eau), Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glyceryl Stearate Citrate, Glycerin, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Wax, Panthenol, Schinus Terebinthifolius Seed Extract, Anigozanthos Flavidus Extract, Paullinia Cupana Seed Extract, Hydrolyzed Rhodophyceae Extract, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, Xanthan Gum, Tocopheryl Acetate, PVP, Dipropylene Glycol, Caprylyl Glycol, Allantoin, Sodium Phytate, Vanillyl Butyl Ether, Citric Acid, Linoleic Acid, T-Butyl Alcohol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Sulfate, Linolenic Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin, Fragrance (Parfum), Amylcinnamyl Alcohol, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Benzoate, Citral, Citronellol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Geraniol, Limonene, Linalool, Blue 1 (CI 42090), Ext. Violet 2 (CI 60730), Red 33 (CI 17200)
The B-FLEX Lift & Firm Arm Cream has a playful color and a delightful scent reminiscent of a sweet, fizzy mocktail. All three products from Maelys create a tingling or warming sensation shortly after application, especially if applied right after showering. Personally, I appreciate this warming effect, as it adds an enjoyable aspect to the routine, but it can catch you off guard if you don’t expect it! The cream absorbs rapidly into the skin, providing hydration without the need for an additional moisturizer, unless you have extremely dry skin.
Experience the Results with B-FLAT Firming Belly Cream*
The dramatic before-and-after photos showcasing the results of the B-FLAT Firming Belly Cream are quite striking, particularly regarding its effectiveness on stretch marks after just 40 days of use. While I know that it’s essential to be cautious about brand-provided photos, the results are hard to ignore. This cream aims to firm the skin around the belly area using pink pepperslim extract, while also targeting the appearance of stretch marks with avocado extract, which is rich in Vitamin A that promotes collagen production. Additionally, it hydrates the skin with nourishing shea and cocoa butter. On the Maelys website, this cream is particularly recommended for postpartum mothers and those on a weight loss journey. I find the concept appealing, especially since many women experience softness in the lower belly area; this product could help firm up that region, making shapewear less of a necessity, particularly for my daily pencil skirts and dresses!
The scent of the belly cream is fruity and uplifting, and it absorbs quickly, providing a tingling sensation on the skin. While I didn’t feel much warmth with the arm cream, the belly cream’s active ingredients certainly make their presence known!
Ingredient: Water (Aqua, Eau), Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Glycerin, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Stearyl Alcohol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Acrylates Copolymer, Cetyl Alcohol, Dimethicone, Squalane, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Tocopheryl Acetate, Tocopherol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Bentonite, Propylene Glycol, Butylene Glycol, Bisabolol, Paullinia Cupana (Guarana) Seed Extract, Schinus Terebinthifolius Seed Extract, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Fruit Extract, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter Extract, Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Oil, Ethylhexylglycerin, Ceteareth 20, Phenoxyethanol, Vanillyl Butyl Ether, Chlorphenesin, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Carbonate, Fragrance (Parfum), Geraniol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Linalool, Yellow 6 (CI 15985),Yellow 5 (CI 19140), Red 33 (CI 17200)
This innovative formula contains pink pepperslim extract for smoothing, guarana seed extract that acts as a mild astringent and antioxidant, and hyaluronic acid that aids in achieving a plump appearance. Interestingly, this cream also includes coffee bean extract and caffeine, which may contribute to a temporary tightening effect.
The scent of the B-TIGHT Booty Mask is sweet, though less intense than the previous products. Additionally, I experience a warming sensation during application that is tolerable and fades within minutes. I find myself looking forward to this feeling, as it suggests that the product is actively working on my skin!
