BB Craze: Lioele Waterdrop BB Cream

Moisturizing Waterdrop BB for glossy and lustrous makeup... That's the promise Lioele (Life of Elegant Ease) offers with this BB cream and with main ingredients which includes Aloe Vera juice, papaya & peach extract. It was safe to expect a really light and moisturizing BB cream. :)

The packaging is a simple blue tube with a screw cap (similar to L'egere), which is a different take from their usual pink packaging.

it looked light when I first put it at the back of my hand, but it turned out alright after blending it out.

the cool part is, it forms tiny water droplets while you blend.

Awesome right? Yeah, I'm like a kid, easily impressed. :P

If you have clear skin (because it won't cover anything) and you're on the lookout for a sheer, moisturizing BB cream with sun protection (SPF27 PA+++), you may want to try Lioele's Water drop BB cream.

I purchased this in Colourmix Hong Kong for HKD130 (approx. US $17) A little side story: Beware of the SA's there, they tend to be REALLY pushy (maybe they're commission based?) The one who assisted me told me this was on promotion, buy one take one, so I got another tube for my brother's gf, but I still ended up paying for two bottles. I went back and complained while showing my receipt and SA told me that it was just how it goes in their POS. sheesh! She could have just told me that this BB cream is so great I would want to get 2 and I'll believe her. Hehe. Cosmetic pushover. ;)

going back to the topic, here's a with/without product photo:

<-left without, right-> with blended Lioele Waterdrop BB cream

As you can see the coverage is very sheer, it didn't even do much about my greenish veins (haha!) but it definitely gives that glowy look after it sets so I still like it. I would recommend it to ladies who have combination/dry skin. My dark spots and acne scars are clearing up now so I don't need heavy coverage now, just a little concealer for the under eye circles and this BB cream does the job for my everyday base makeup routine. :)

HK Holiday Part 2: Cosmetic Haul

What better way to start a beauty-holic's week, than a collective haul to pump up the blood and make us want to work harder so we can afford this costly hobby we all share eh? Can I get a woot woot?! LOL ;)

To say that I went SASA crazy is an understatement. I think I've scoured all the Sasa's and Bonjour's my eyes have seen during my HK trip. Lurvey's and brother's eyes would roll everytime they see that BIG, pink signage with 4 letters in it. hahaha! [Please keep in mind that this is my own beauty blog and beauty bloggers make these kinds of posts to share the excitement we get from acquiring new "toys" to "play" with, if you do not appreciate such posts, please feel free to look for another blog you might fancy. Getting that out of the way.] Let's get started shall we?

Skin care from Lioele:

The HK air is so dry and dirty (broke me out) thats why I purchased a moisturizing skin care to try.

Moisturizing BB Creams:

Skin79 Pink label BB - really really good! , Lioele Water drop BB - magical ;)

Sasa brushes...

Lavshuca:

Surprisingly, this is the only eye palette I bought. :)

Nail Lacquers:

Arezia from Sasa, i think these are HKD 8 a piece.

and some CHANEL from Harbour City

prices have increased in Hong Kong but as you can see, I finally managed to get Particuliére which is sold out in most cities! (Remember the Shangri la fire story?) happy happy :)

I hope you enjoyed my HK haul post! Reviews are on the way, please be patient. Im so behind on reviews and tags! But I promise I'll get to it. Happy Monday lovelies! 

Stay gorge!
