Korean Makeup FOTD

Hi evreyone, hope you're all haveing an amazing start to the new year!

Here's a look I created using the Peripera Korean makeup that I bought recently.

I decided to do a softer, more sublte natural look. This look is super easy to create, with just 4 products used. The main ingredients are a soft pink blush and a rosy tinted lip balm.

Products Used:

Shiseido Integrate Gracy Eyebrow Pencil
Bobbi Brown Gel Liner in Caviar Ink

Peripera Smile Fit Blusher in 03 Pink Rose
Peripera Wonder Talk Lip Blam in 04 Wonder Red

I've used this Peripera blush before in my lazy 2 product FOTD. (Click here for post). It's a lovely pink blush that isn't vibrant, yet it does brighten up the complexion nicely.

I know I look a bit horsey in these pics. I hope it's not indicative of how i'm going to look like for 2012!

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 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
