Luview: Haul and Review

Hi everyone. I've read such good things about the Korean Brand Luview, that I decided I must try them out for myself. I bought some products from their online shop which ships internationally.



I bought the following products:

Crystal Mineral Pact

Real Skin Primer BB Cream

Whitening Capsule BB Cream

Glossy Kiss

I normally wouldn't buy so many products from a brand I've never tried before, but the prices were so reasonable I couldn't resist.

I'll review each product in separate posts, and today I'll review the Whitening Capsule BB Cream.


I do love the packaging of Luview products. They were far more superior than what I would have expected for the price. The Whitening BB Cream is housed in a sleek bottle with push top nozzle.


This cream is said to have whitening and moisturising effects. It has a medium to thick consistency which is easily applied and blended. Initially white, the cream blends to a pale beige (which matches my skintone exactly) with micro shimmer.


The cream half-blended:


The cream fully blended:


The cream on my skin:


I'm quite impressed with the coverage of this BB cream. It has a medium coverage which looks light and natural on the skin. The coverage is good enough to even out my skintone and covers any redness on my skin. I do not think the cream alone would be enough to cover any potential blemishes.

I love the finish of this BB cream. It doesn't cake and give that 'obvious makeup' look. It just covers small imperfections and gives a flawless, radiant finish.

I found this cream to be long lasting, and best of all - it does not irritate my sensitive skin.


Pros:

Great Packaging

A Little of the product goes a long way

Good Coverage with a flawless finish

Does not irritate my skin

Contains ethereal looking micro shimmer

(and I normally detest shimmer)



Cons:

Not to keen on the strong scent

Would like it to contain SPF

  2. Cool, I haven't heard of this brand before! How unusual that there isn't SPF in the BB Cream, no? Your skin looks really lovely, though.

  6. I've read such great reviews on the Korean BB creams, but when I tried out some of these brands I felt they are better suited for lighter skin tones as most brands don't carry wide shade selection. But if you can find the right shade, a BB cream can be an HG product indeed. Thanks for sharing this with us

  7. A little bit of shimmer (like this) is good. A lot is scary and overwhelming. I think this looks beautiful on you.

  13. Can't wait for reviews on the other products! Great review for this one as well! =) Btw, I agree I wished it has SPF. But most of my BB cream that I order before always had SPF, so I don't understand why they don't have it.
