FOTD using Mii Cosmetics

As promised, here's are some pics of my new Mii products in action.



Products Used:




Luview Real Skin Primer Cream

Integrate Gracy Brow Pencil

Bobbi Brown Gel Liner in Caviar Ink

Mii cosmetics Uplifting Cheek Colour in Kissed

Mii cosmetics Moisturising Lip Lover in Smile


I kept the eyes relatively simple with a dark grey/brown eyeliner. I'm a huge fan of Bobbi Brown gel liners as they ere so easy to use and produce a more dramatic effect than pencil liners.


After growing out my fringe I started realising that an eyebrow pencil was a necessity for my sparse brows,. This just adds to the list of products used, so I left out mascara as I didn't want to overload my face with too many products.




My favourite of the Mii products is the blush in Kissed. It feels soft and silky on the skin and the colour brightens up the complexion nicely. It's a pretty pink shade that is great for days when I feel my skin is looking a bit sallow.

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
