Luview Whitening BB Capsule

I have been a loyal user of bb cream for quite a long time now. I’ve tried several bb creams already from different brands like skinfood, skin79, lioele and so on. But this is so far the most unique bb cream. Want to know why? Keep reading!

PACKAGING

 Also unlike most bb creams that come in a pump, this has a safety lock (twist to close/ twist to open)  which is so far the most convenient packaging for a bb cream especially when you like to travel! And oh, the packaging is very sleek and slim.

From Lina's review

Color/ Formulation/consistency/finish:

Before I finally had this bb cream, I already read some reviews from my blogger friends who also do blog reviews for Luview. They received this bb cream long time ago and they totally freaked out when they saw the white cream for the first time. Thank God for their reviews, atleast I know what I should expect. 

 When I first swatched this bb cream in the back of my hands, I freaked out . Not because it has white cream-like consistency but because I thought it would be a plain white cream. This bb cream comes in a white cream with brown particles in it.

Then I tried blending it out and Oh my goodness, this bb cream turns into yellowish/brownish color. Magic! From there, I found out that the brownish particles are the color or shade of the bb cream. The technology was amazing! This will help  the bb cream to blend naturally on your skin

When you blend it out even more, you’ll notice that it contains tiny shimmers. This can be either be good for you or bad. 

For ladies who are not as flawless as Korean ladies, this tends to emphasize the bumps going on your face. (Recommendation: If you’re having a breakout, I advise you not to put this on areas where you have acne/pimples. You can put this on certain areas, as shown in the pic below, on your face to make it looks brighter) 

from Luview

BUT, if you already had a beautiful skin (just like most Koreans) this will make your skin looks even more beautiful and healthy looking! The micro shimmers will give your skin an illusion of radiant, porcelain-like skin. Definitely, a bb cream for dewy looking skin!

Since this comes in a light cream, you’ll have no problem in blending it out.

COVERAGE

Since it has a watery-like consistency, don’t expect that this will cover your acne marks. For me, this bb cream works very well in brightening the face instead of covering the flaws.

Additional Benefits:

Whitening: According to the packaging, this contains white flowers that help whiten and brighten the face. I haven’t seen the whitening effect yet since I’ve been using it only for few days. But yes, this will help brightens up your face.

Sebum Control and Moisture supply: I don’t know how long I will need to retouch my face if I use this alone but when I set it with powder, I usually blot my face 2-3 x a day.

PROS:

- Packaging is ideal for travelling

- Unique (I know, sometimes it is very tiring to see the same thing in all bb creams)

- Sheer coverage (for people who want it sheer)

- Not cakey

- Little goes a long way

- blends well

- Gives a natural, porcelain-like skin

- works if you like dewy looking skin

- brightens the face

CONS

- sheer coverage (if you prefer medium-heavy)

- has micro-shimmers (will emphasize the bumps on your face)

- not available locally

Would I recommend this: Yes! Definitely the most unique bb cream I ever tried. 

I hope this post will convinced you to join my giveaway contest! 5 winners will have the chance to win this bb cream. So hurry now and join!

CELETEQUE (Unilab)

Okay, even before this giveaway contest I seriously love Celeteque especially the Celeteque facial wash and exfoliating wash. I tweeted it several times already. But I won’t be giving facial wash and exfoliating wash, instead I will be giving away 2 Celeteque Advanced products. Yes! You ladies are so lucky! It’s their newest line and more expensive than their regular line. Honestly, I haven’t tried it yet but I’m still saving my money so I could buy their celeteque advanced products. Can you imagine how lucky you are? You’ll get it for free… That’s how I and Celeteque love the readers of my blog.

RED JHELLI SHOP

I was really happy when Jhia, the owner of Red Jhelli Shop contacted me and offered me to do a review on their lenses. Wow, I’m a fan of circle lenses. Infact, let me show you pictures with my GEO LENSES in ANGEL GREY

See, it’s really pretty right? So I agreed to do a review on their lenses! And ofcourse, I asked her if she could sponsor me some products for my lovely readers! 

She agreed to sponsor me 2 LENSES for my lovely readers! Isn’t she the nicest?

Aside from that, she is also selling MARY KAY products. Yes, you’ve seen my review on a Mary Kay concealer right? She found me because of that review.

Bee Yu, the marketing Manager of Le Faerie Cosmetics, agreed to sponsor me 5 lipglosses for my giveaway. I got 1 for free and will be featured on my blog. I love the lipgloss. The effect on my lips is really amazing! The effect reminds me a lot of Watershine lipstick by Maybelline. It gives my lips a watery healthy finish and the staying power is not bad for a lipgloss.

Aside from Lipglosses they’re selling palettes too, which reminds me a lot of Coastal scent packaging, makeup brushes and more!

Luview Real Shiny Eyes Palette

Long wait is over! Finally, here is my review on the palette I got from Luview through Korea Cosmetics!

Not long time ago, I did post a picture of me with half done face using Luview Palette on Korea Cosmetics page. I was just experimenting during that time that’s why I did not post it here. Anyway, I decided to share it with you now. So here’s the picture.. (left face no makeup, right with makeup)

Luview Palette:

Features

Four coordinating shades of velvety, shimmery color to create the looks you want, from lovely to sexy. Creamy, intense shadows build quickly, blend easily for lasting color. Wear them alone, as duos and trios, or layered together.

1. Highlight and dramatize your eyes with the shimmering shades


2. Silky lustrous powders transparently wrap the skin, allowing a seamless layering of pure color for a silky sheen and radiant finish.


3. Squalene ingredients helps forming of skin protection layer without dry 

The palette has 4 shades:

 Packaging:

Luview is always consistent with the packaging--- expensive looking packaging. It comes in a mirror-like packaging as shown in the picture. Red is just perfect for working women, and can fit young ladies like me.

Color selection:

The palette comes only in 4 shades, all are shimmery. And basically these shades are more suitable for day time look. I wish Luview Cosmetics would release a palette with different colors and I wish they would include a matte eyeshadow on the palette. 

Pigmentation:

They’re decently pigmented but not as pigmented as Urban Decay or Coastal Scents. In my case, I tried swatching it few times to get the pigmentation I like for my eyes.

What I like about the eyeshadows is the shimmers, they are very fine. Also the shimmers helps brighten up your eyes and perfect palette for people who are aiming for everyday makeup look. 

Tip: It’s important to have eye primer to make your eyeshadows last longer and to make it more pigmented. But I admit, I don’t have one since I don’t wear eyeshadows for everyday. But if you like to make your eyeshadows appear brighter, here’s my tip. Mix your eye cream with a lighter concealer then apply it like a typical eyeshadow primer.

MAKE UP LOOK using LUVIEW PALETTE

 

Have a great day!

Perfect completion of your crystal skin makeup 13g

• Benefit : UV protection, Mineral enriched
• Skin types : Normal
• Formula : Pressed powder
• Shades : Light Beige and Natural Beige
  
  

How to use: (from www.luview.com)

Why you should get this?

It has crystal, pearl, amethyst; etc that generate the splendid jewelry gloss to make skin looks shiny and glowing.

It has natural mineral ingredients that heightens skin friendliness and vegetable ingredients with soothing effect

It is an ultra-fine satin powder that covers  skin problems naturally and maintain the makeup just the way it is

It is a special sebum control powder that prevents lumping phenomenon and stain by excessive sebum and sweat

Packaging:

 Have you tried having a good product but you couldn't bring it out and use in public places because it looks so cheap? I admit! I went through with that.  And I’m glad that I won’t be going through again because this is something you would love to show off. 

Luview is very consistent with their packaging, from the BB Cream to Powder and even Eyeshadow palette. Everything looks very expensive. For me, red and gold is just a perfect combination. It is indeed very elegant and luxurious. The packaging is very true to its name. It comes in a “crystal-like” packaging that is very sophisticated. 

 The powder has two compartments so you’ll have a separate compartment for the powder and powder puff. The powder puff that comes in the packaging is oh! So soft and good! It makes the application even easier and smoother. Plus it has this lace where you slip your hands to hold on the puff while applying the powder. I usually do a “tap-ing”  motion rather than dragging the powder puff on my face. 

Color/Texture:

The only problem with Korean products is they usually offer limited shades for powders. Most of their shades are for fair to medium skintone. I’m not sure what shade I got since I can’t read Korean but I’m pretty sure I have it in Natural Beige because I think Light beige would be way lighter than my skintone. Anyway, the powder is just right for my skintone. The powder is actually good for Asian women because it has a yellow undertone to it.

The texture is smooth and the powder is finely milled.

Coverage/Oil Control/Staying Power:

  The coverage is very sheer, looks natural and skin-like. It doesn’t cake on me; just don’t try to add too much layer because it tends to cake if you add too much . It is a perfect combination for bb cream as it sets your bb cream. It doesn’t feel heavy too.

If you like more coverage, I suggest that you use concealer first. It would be much better to conceal spots rather than using a heavy coverage foundation on your face to conceal them.  

 It mattifies your face which is perfect if you have oily-skin. The powder stays only for 4-5 hours on my face, then after that I have to retouch again.  

Would I recommend this?

Definitely! I’ve been using this everyday together with my Luview BB Cream or Skin79 BB Cream.
