REVIEWS: Lioele (TESTS ON ANIMALS)

Brand: Lioele Make-up Type: BB Cream Origin: Korea

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BRAND...THEY TEST ON ANIMALS- upon sending the seller an inquiry, they stated that they did not test on animals. The Lioele site claims to be cruelty free. They lied.


I just got my full 50 ml sized one in the mail which I ordered (for $12 shipped - Bellogirl) after  using the 10 ml sized one for a few months now. I first noticed the amazing coverage when I was doing my make-up for a film shoot and had some red spots. They just disappeared!
I was so happy that after I ordered the full-size, I ordered the tiny 5 ml sample - so I could have all of the sizes. Yeah I know...A little weird...



Review Summary:

Size: 50 ml
Packaging: 3/5 Pretty white tube with pink quilt designs, comes in standard glossy paper box.
But tube in the large size has a pump instead of the smaller sizes that are just squeeze bottles...
Color: 5/5 Looks kind of beige coming out, but blends in perfectly with even very fair skin
Texture: 3.5/5 smooth, not sticky, not cakey, slight thick feeling right after application
Lastability: 4.5/5 All day in regular conditions. Nickel size portion needed for each use...
Scent: 3/5 definite make-up smell
Effect: 5/5 Covers everything! Matte finish
Other: 3 sizes - 50,10,5
Overall: It has great coverage... 10 ml perfect for carrying in a small make-up bag, 50 ml version perfect for home use as well as travel, and 5 ml is just adorable...

REVIEW: Lioele Glittering Jewel Eyeliner (Black)

Brand: Lioele

Make-up Type: Eyeliner

Liner Type: Pencil w glitter

Origin: South Korea



It's been awhile, and I got this back in November, but bear with me...I got both the Lioele version and the Holika Holika version at the same time and I like them both. Equally, I think.

Summary: This is my second sparkle/glitter eyeliner and this one, unlike the previous, has lots of glitter instead of just a hint. However, it's not gaudy or overdone. It goes on smooth, stays on surprisingly well - much longer in comparison to American eye-liner brands that are off in an hour. It does smear a little with time.Overall, I highly recommend it and I use it daily!

Packaging: Comes in a little package,  eyeliner itself is a black pencil with a pink cap (adorable)5/5

Color:  Black glitter, it's a very rich pigmented color. 4/4
Texture: smooth 3/4
Ease of Use: very easy 4/4
Effect: sparkles are pretty, color glides on, but fades and smears... 3/4

Brand: Lioele
Make-up Type: Powder Pact
Origin: Korea


 I've had this for a while and I like it. I found it for only $6 from someone who didn't want it. ^_^


Packaging: Adorable bright pink pact with a white fluff pad in a seperate compartment and mirror. Comes in a glossy bright pink paper box.
Color: Light (unsure of exact shade name or number!)
Texture: ...smooth and powdery?
Lastability: ?
Scent: faint
Effect: ...
Other: good size for travel and seems pretty durable
Overall: Not sure if it works better than other powders, or if I like it because it's so damn cute and portable...? And durable - usually they crack in the case or the powder inside, but not this one, even after being thrown around all over the inside of my bag. Impressive.


    
 

Brand: Lioele
Product Type: foot/heel cream
Origin: Korea

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BRAND...THEY TEST ON ANIMALS- upon sending the seller an inquiry, they stated that they did not test on animals. They lied.

I ordered this one because it was the cheapest of the Lioele products online and although I had doubts about how well it would work, it's a product I need.
So it arrived, yet it took me over 2 weeks to try it...

On to the review...no actual foot pictures and trust me when I say it's for the best. I have former figure skater feet.

Size: 80 ml
Packaging: 5/5 Pretty...Bubble-gum pink tube with the logo and dark pink and white print.  Comes in the standard bright pink glossy paper box.
Color: (It's white...)
Texture: (Feels like lotion)
Lastability: 5/5 - it really doesn't take much - 1 dime sized portion for each foot.
Scent: 3.5/5 Faint perfume, but not over-bearing or unpleasant

Effect: 4/5 Smooth! Feels tingly, not like "mint tingly" more like I stepped in warm water...TBC
Other: Did I mention how pretty the tube is??
Overall: Not sure of the overall effect and if does more than just making feet feel smooth and silky after application, or if it will still be like this in an hour...or even tomorrow morning...
Will update...TBC


Liole Blooming Shimmer Pearl Base
This sucks...It's a pale pale pink and it disappears as soon as you rub it into your skin...I guess make-up is suppose to be applied over it as it is a base, but I have no use for it...

REVIEW: Laneige (TESTS ON ANIMALS) Strawberry Yogurt Peeling Gel [5/5] *LOVE*

Brand: Laneige
Product Type: peeling gel
Origin: Korea

I've been wanting this for a while, (although I did find the mini sample tube and had to resist the urge to order like 5 of them....) and I finally found it for a decent-ish price...
Love the scent, love the packaging (also comes in a glossy paper box) AND it works!
There is some debate about peeling gels - whether the squishy balls that come off when you rub it into your skin is actually dead skin or ampules in the product that are designed to ball up and take dead skin off. So in the little balls would be dead skin, but the balls per-se are NOT dead skin...?
QUICK REVIEW:
Packaging: Pretty pink tube that comes in a glossy paper box
Scent: Strawberry-like (I am going to avoid that "yummy word" and not tell you that "i wanted to eat it but stopped myself" since that's all I ever hear about this product and it grates on my nerves!)
Texture: Smooth and cool with little grains
Effect: Super-smooth skin!
Price: $20 shipped
other: @ 150 ml, a great size!

REVIEW: Missha (not cruelty free) Watery BB Cream [3.5/5]

photos coming soon...

REVIEW:

Color: A dark dark beige that blends right into fair skin...dewy, no shimmer

Texture: light, smooth

Coverage:very good...but not as good as Lioele Beyond The Solution...

Lastability: Pretty well. Did not have to reapply all day...
Scent: neutral kind of "cosmetic chemicals" smell. I don't like it but it fades.

Effect:A matte look
Other: SPF 27

Packaging: Tube same design as box - iridescent white with green spots, iridescent silver logo

Price: $12 shipped - ^_^

Overall: great coverage, very portable, gorgeous tube. But Lioele BTS is still better and until I find one better than that...

REVIEW: SkinFood (not cruelty free) Pineapple Peeling Gel [5/5]

Brand: Skinfood
Product Type: Skin Peel
Origin: South Korea

This is my second peel - my first was Missha, and this one is my current favorite. It's safe for sensitive skin - but don't rub too hard!
The scent is not too strong, and the effect is smooth, silky skin...I even used this on my feet and it's amazing! I can't say that I want to waste that much of it though because it takes quite a bit!!
Overall, I recommend this, but will continue trying out new peels by other companies! Particularly want to try the Laneige Strawberry Peeling Gel!

REVIEW:
Packaging: Nice sized shiny squeeze tube, pretty color
Scent: Pineapple, but not in an artificial fruity tropical way. Which I like...
Texture: Cold, smooth (very fine little granules)
Effect: Smooth skin!
Other: it's all natural
Overall verdict: SUCCESS! But I still want to try other peeling gels.

(Instructions: Squeeze out dime-sized portion and rub lightly into desired area. I say lightly because in using the Missha gel, I gave myself a small but very painful cheek abrasion...lesson learned...
Dead skin comes off effortlessly!)
