Lioele All Night Moisture Lip Essence

I absolutely LOVE this stuff! My lips get really dry and there are very few products I have found that actually do what they claim to. I have noticed a difference in my lips since using this along with the Lioele Blooming Gloss. Before you go to bed, after your nightly skincare routine, apply the product to your lips, spreading it evenly. Your lips will be super soft instantly :) It smells like Jolly Rancher! Also it isn't sticky but it will not come off until you wipe it off in the morning when you do your morning skincare routine.


Lioele Blooming Lip Gloss

This is another Lioele product, it is a really nice lip gloss. It smells amazing!! Just like candy :) the packaging is gorgeous and so is the color! I bought the color: lovely two-way, it has a darker pink on the bottom and a light pink on top and when you pull out the wand, both colors are on it. It looks really good and it is glittery which I really like. It is also sticky but not in a bad way, its the kind of sticky that makes the product last a long time :) and it is very moisturizing and makes your lips look shiny but still natural and it improves damaged cells.


Lioele Blooming Face Powder

I really like this powder! It's a very fine powder, it prevents makeup from caking or coming off because of sweat, oil or moisture. And it comes with a cute little puff for application but you can also use a brush to apply it but because the powder is so fine, you have to be very careful or you will get powder everywhere. It has a light floraly scent that is really nice, but once its on your face, you don't even notice the scent. I use it to set my makeup. It's a great product! A little goes a long way, you don't need a lot! There are two shades, violet and beige. I bought the beige one.

Jealousness Rose Eye & Lip Makeup Remover

This is a double layered makeup remover [oil & water] that removes long lasting makeup especially waterproof mascara. Its low stimulating and alcohol-free that cleanses sensitive areas like eyes and lips and leaves no stickiness or oily feelings behind. It is very gentle on the skin and doesn't irritate it and it doesn't burn my eyes. It is $12.50 for 100ml and a little goes a long way of course :) and again I bought it from Pretty & Cute you should really check out the website, they are great!


Holika Holika Aqua Fantasy Toner & Cream

Aqua Fantasy Cream

This cream is great! It is a gel cream which allows it to absorb quicker and penetrate deeper than a traditional cream. It hydrates, moisturizes, tightens and smooths your skin. I use it on my face and neck as a day cream and I put it on before I apply my makeup. And again, a little goes a long way and it's $28 for 50ml.

Aqua Fantasy Toner

I use the toner in the morning and at night after I cleanse my skin and before I put on the cream in the morning or the night repair lotion before bed. It moisturizes, cleans, cools, calms and tightens pores. I know I have said this in every review so far but it's true, a little goes a long way. it only dispenses a little bit, I tip it a couple times to get the amount I want. I just pat it on my face and neck with a cotton pad. It's $27 for 150ml.

Again, I purchased these items on Pretty & Cute they have so many amazing products and the customer service is the best I have ever seen from an online store.




NARUKO Narcissus Total Defense Moisturizing Night Repair

This is a night time milky lotion that penetrates the skin deeply, quickly and easily to moisturize, hydrate, repair, relax and revitalize your skin and it retains and balances moisture. Just like the other products I have reviewed, a little goes a long way, you don't need a lot and that is what I love about Asian products, you get your moneys worth because they do last quite a long time if you use them correctly and use the proper amount. It costs $20.99 for 120ml on Pretty & Cute. It doesn't clog pores and it also doesn't cause breakouts and it is very gentle on the skin and does not irritate it. My face literally soaks it right up and it feels great!


Holika Holika Bulgarian Rose Eye Cream

This is an eye cream from the brand Holika Holika and it's a very thick consistency which I like in an eye cream, it's a really neat product. The cream costs $24 for 30ml, its not a huge jar but it is definitely worth the price because a little goes a very long way, I literally just tap my finger onto the cream and pat it under my eye and around the eye area so you only need a very very small amount so it will last for a long time.

Once you run out, the jar can still be used for something else, and I love products like that, that have other uses even when the product is used up. The cream is super moisturizing and reduces dark circles, puffiness, wrinkles and the look of tiredness around the eyes and after just a few uses I have already started to notice a little difference so it really does work.

I got the following information which I found interesting, from the website I ordered the cream from, Pretty & Cute: Bulgarian rose has been cultivated since the 16th century and was also the beauty secret Cleopatra used. Holika's Bulgarian rose oil and rose water is from the Valley Of Roses in the Kazanlak town. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whether your younger or older its a really great cream even if you don't have wrinkles or puffiness and all that, because more and more girls are starting to use anti-aging skincare products at younger ages so that they can prevent those things and keep their skin healthy and youthful. It has a beautiful rose scent, the scent is not a light scent but also not a strong scent, its kind of in the middle, but once you pat it in your eye area you don't smell it so its not overpowering or anything. It is another product I will definitely repurchase!




Lioele Carry Me Hand Cream [Coconut]

This is a really nice, moisturizing hand lotion that smooths and nourishes your skin and it has a nice light coconut scent with a hint of a floral scent. It's 40ml so its a nice size for your purse and for traveling. It doesn't last very long if you use it a lot, I have used a lot already because my hands get so dry at work, but I will definitely repurchase this product and will probably purchase a couple extra so I will have backups for when I run out. There is also a blueberry scent, I don't really like blueberries or blueberry scents though so I won't purchase that one so I won't be able to review it, but I love coconut scents so this one is perfect for me! :)


Lioele Be My Skin Powder Pact [Oil Control Type]

I absolutely LOVE this product! The packaging is so cute and girly. It's a metallic compact with  and you pop it open and there is a mirror on the top and the bottom there's a cute little puff sitting on a plastic protector that you flip over and underneath is the powder. I wear the shade natural beige, there are only two shades, blooming ivory and natural beige.

I got the oil control type because my skin gets oily in the t-zone so the powder soaks up the oil and gets rid of any shine on my face. There is also a moisture type one for people with dry skin. Even when the product is used up, it still makes a really cute compact mirror and you can probably put something else in it if you want. I bought it on Pretty & Cute for $28.80 and when it runs out, it also can be used as a mirror and maybe storage for any small items like ponytails or bobby pins or something, because the packaging is way too gorgeous to just throw out after!

I use the powder to absorb oil throughout the day and just kinda touch everything up, it works really great with the Lioele BB creams that I also bought. The shades go together so well and the combination really makes your skin look flawless. I keep it with me in case I need to touch up when my skin gets oily :)


Lioele Beyond The Solution & Triple The Solution BB Creams!

I purchased these Lioele BB creams recently and I am in love with them! I watched several beauty guru videos where they raved about them so I wanted to purchase them and try them out myself and I am glad I did!

 Beyond The Solution BB Cream

 This one has lighter coverage, its thinner and I think would be great for summer on days that are really hot or humid and you don't want to put a ton of product on your face or if you are in a hurry and just want a little something to even your skin tone and cover any imperfections you may have. You will have to put sunscreen on underneath though because there isn't any SPF in it. You can also build up coverage if you like but you have to wait a few minutes otherwise it will get cakey. You can use it in place of foundation or just as a tinted moisturizer or you can even use foundation with it if you want :) it all depends on the amount of coverage you want :)

Triple The Solution BB Cream

This one is the higher coverage BB cream so it is thicker and you don't really need to build up coverage unless you want to it just depends on what your skin is like. It is great for winter but would also be good for summer because it has SPF 30 PA++ but I don't recommend building up coverage with it in the summer because it is thicker, I would only use one layer if possible or just use the Beyond The Solution BB cream instead but if you use the Beyond The Solution you should put sunscreen on underneath it because it doesn't have SPF in it. It also has wrinkle care and its whitening which pretty much just means it evens your skin tone. I have hyper pigmentation from acne so the whitening helps with that.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Even though one of the BB creams purposes is primer, I still like to use a separate primer underneath to help make my makeup last longer, though I honestly don't need it, the product stays on great just by itself but I guess its just a habit to use primer :) it doesnt hurt to use it :) instead of foundation, if I need extra coverage, I build up the coverage waiting 5 minutes between each application so it doesn't get cakey. They have a nice light, rosy scent to them which I like :) And the packaging is super cute and both bottles have a pump so its more sanitary and you don't have to worry about wasting any product.

There is only one shade for the BB creams and its a light beige kind of shade but most BB creams, or at least the Asian ones, adapt to skin tones, so some brands will blend into your skin once the cream oxidizes. I have the perfect skin tone for these products so I can't say for sure if they really do adapt to skin tones, because their shades will all match me because I am lighter and they are marketed to people with lighter skin, but I have heard a few people say its true so hopefully it is! So if you have light to medium skin, I would definitely recommend trying them. If you don't want to buy a full sized bottle, or if you have darker skin and want to try a BB cream out to see if it will adapt to your skin tone, you can get travel sized bottles on Pretty & Cute if you want an even smaller size they do have sample sizes that you can purchase, it's $2.50 for 3 samples.

The products are great and I have no complaints about them at all, and I will definitely be re-purchasing them when I run out! Which wont be for awhile because a little really goes a long way.





I have been talking about these products A LOT and for a good reason, because they really are amazing and truly a miracle product for me. You can build them up if you want more coverage which is really nice! Depending on how my skin is, the most I will do is two applications. If I don't need much coverage just one is fine. And one pump is enough for my entire face and if I feel like I need extra coverage, I wait 5 minutes for the product to oxidize and blend in with my skin and then add the second application which again only takes one small pump. If you don't wait 5 mins before you build up the coverage it can look cakey.
