Mizon Water Volume Aqua Gel Cream

I have been loving Mizon products as you saw in my review of their Blemish After Cream. Now this is what I put over the blemish treatment. It's a cream gel but it looks like a milky gel that turns clear when rubbed between hands and patted into the skin. Right now my skin is really dry but come the warmer months I'm an oily mess so this is good for both dry, oily, and combo skin. This product promises intense moisture into the skin from Alaska Glacial water, tree sap, and Deep sea water. It also contains heaven water which I cannot find what it is. If someone knows please let me know as Dr Google isn't finding this.

This is supposed to help restore the moisture balance to the skin. It also gives your skin this cooling sensation and is supposed to control unbalanced skin temperature. This is an oil free product that is supposed to not make oily skin worse and by fast absorption this minimizes problems for oily skin. It also provides skin soothing relief with Witch Hazel,watermelon, and Basil extract. This is supposed to help sun damaged skin and protect it with vegetable active ingredients.

It comes in a bigger size but I got the 50ml tube and a little goes a long way. Here's what the product comes in.

Plus it's sealed with a safety sticker as well so make sure that it's there. Only order from Korean sellers if you are interested in Korean Cosmetics and Skincare why would you order a Korean product from China..See what I'm saying. ;) It will help you from buying fake products which will just wreak havoc on your skin. Here's the 50ml tube.

The instructions are on the back in Korean.

You do not need a lot of product to moisturize your whole face. About a nickel so this will last me into Summer before I order another.  It is supposed to be very effective at moisturizing because of the Hyaluronic Acid which, I personally am a big believer in. It helps with collagen synthesis and is used in burn units so it just makes sense to use it on your skin. Here's what the product looks like out of the tube.

Here it is absorbed which it does mighty fast if I do say so myself.

Once absorbed your skin will feel soooo soft!! I was in love with that and for my combo skin I wasn't too dry nor too oily. So for me this product does really balance my skin. It smells nice like a fresh sea spray type scent. Very natural and clean. Nothing that lingers too long or that will cause those with sensitive noses any problems. 

Verdict: This product is awesome and very inexpensive! I paid 5$ for this which was a total bargain for such a great product. I can use this with my many skin products as I like to layer and this during the Summer will be skin heaven because of the cooling feeling. I'm stoked for then because this will really help my skin which, becomes oily once it's warm. Plus the price point is excellent and it did not make me break out and I have been using this for weeks so I would know by now.

If you are in a hot climate and tend to break out or want something for sensitive or dehydrated skin you might want to give this bad boy a try;P

What do you think of Mizon skincare? I would luv to know.

Till next time my lovelies!

Peace,Love, and Makeup!

Mizon A.C. Care Solution Mark-X Blemish After Cream

I am loving Mizon it is one if not my favorite skincare line! There products are made with amazing skin loving quality ingredients and at a reasonable price 2 things you just can't beat! They also use high technology in their products so this is some pretty cool stuff that they are cooking up. So now I come to this gem! Mizon's Blemish After Cream is the answer to my needs this stuff is like mana from heaven seriously! Ever pop a pimple and think,"Oh crap it'll ruin my skin!". I'm not saying you're going to get a license to pop but if you do you have a remedy thanks to the Bee's.;)

Propolis is what is supposed to stop spots and heal spots post extraction. Propolis is a mix of beeswax, sap from trees, and pollen from flowers. It is harder to gain than honey and has antimicrobial properties that keep germs out and lets healing begin. It contains 12.5% Propolis among other awesome ingredients such as Lemon extract,Licorice, Hyaluronic Acid, and Copper Tripeptides. All this and more working together to help treat and prevent new spots from forming. 

Let's take a look at the product.

I love how it looks like a Doctors Prescription! I have always used very strong products to get my skin blemish free. Now that I have it that way except monthly this has been exceptional on my skin and the 3 breakouts I have to test it on. Here's a pic of the tube it's adorable;)

You get 30ml or 1 ounce of product in the tube but you only need the smallest amount as shown here.

That little bit or even less covers my little breakout area. I pat in till fully absorbed. I use this morning and night so it works fine under makeup. My problem area is by my upper cheekbone it's the kind of acne where you can't pop but the little I did try it turned really red. So I put this on within an hour the redness was gone and the spot looked less angry.

Also the ingredients on this are stellar no talc,parabens, or mineral oils. All while evening skin tone. I love this product as you can tell and I bought it myself so I'm not being paid to love it at all. This truly is a great product that anyone could benefit from. I wish this was more readily available in the US because Mizon is onto something with this little magic tube.

Verdict: Thank you Bee's for making this magic propolis and being gentle yet effective. To me this is a product for someone who get's a patch of breakout if you used this to treat full blown acne you would go through way too much. I think this is more for acne prone skin or people who get occasional breakouts. This product is amazing and is really helping me get my hormonal acne under control. I could not recommend this enough! It retails for around $8.50 on Ebay or at costsell.com.

Till next time my beauties some Lioele and more skincare since Summer is coming.:)

Peace,Love, and Makeup!

TonyMoly Latte Art Milk-Tea Morning Pack

TonyMoly has some very good products and this Milk-Tea Morning Pack is by far one of the most effective and luxe primers I have ever used! It's supposed to de-puff the skin with caffeine and black tea. On top of that it has Niacinamide which is amazing for its anti-inflamitory properties and it helps acne. It goes on like a gel then it turns in to a serum like texture drying to a silky finish. Seriously amazing stuff it makes your skin the perfect canvass for makeup is what it says and I happen to agree. Now let's take a look at this Morning Pact.

They have changed the design to a tube now which is much easier. You will be able to read the directions too when you click on the pic;) 

I read before you used to have to activate it. This is great because it's one step skin goodness. I like the fact that it's a primer with so many skin benefits. My skin is combo oily in the warmer months, dry when it's cold. Here we're still in Winter so I get dry patches. With this primer it smooths the skin so well you will not see them. Make sure though that you exfoliate before you prime that way your base will go on much smoother to begin with.

Here's the tube you get for around 10.99$ on Ebay from my favorite US seller Costsell.com.

This is a good amount of product considering you only need about the size of a dime. So it is very cost effective product. What's so cool about this is it starts out as a gel get's very watery where you can pat it in then it dries to a silky finish. 

      

As you can see it's a milky looking gel. Well, once you rub it, it starts to look like this.

As you can see it will dry to a silky finish.

So far I have tried this with BB Cream,Creme, and Powder foundation. I especially like this with powder like MAC Studio Fix works great with this. Or TheBalm's Time Balm and BB Creams of course work wonderfully with this product.

Verdict: I love this primer it actually makes me want to put on makeup because this is just so darn lovely. I love how it de-puffs and de stresses my skin, evens out my complexion and makes foundations a breeze to use! I am loving this and I just might even say it's ,my HG primer and that word is so cliche in this Makeup community.

I will say if you're looking for skincare with your primer than definitely check this out! It's an amazing product that does what it says I will happily purchase this again it's luv<3 Happy Trails Lovely's!

Peace,Love,and Makeup!

Lioele Cheek Beam Blusher in #01 Peach Pink

Besides glosses and lipsticks I have another confession to make. I am a total blush addict I mean a serious blush collector. I have a bag just for blushes and what I love now that I am out of my colour comfort zone is to try all different kinds of shades. Another thing I think ever since NARS Orgasm  my love of peachy pink blushes came about. Give me shimmer,matte,cream,powder, you name it if it's in that colour realm I have to try it. 

So here comes Lioele's cream blusher in Peach Pink which, is a pretty awesome blush because it has some good benefits that I will discuss. First off though it is a cream blush and I only own a few so I was excited to get this. Let's look at the blush shall we;)

Very cute yet non bulky packaging which, I really appreciate! When you open it you see this gorgeous Pinky Peach matte colour.

Is that not gorgeous or what!!!???? Some of the awesome thing this creme blusher offers is high pigment with a transparent glow. It does give you that lit from with in look. Also you do not need a lot of product to get the look you want. 

It's very build able as well. It controls oil and it lasts so re-touchups are practically unneeded. This is moisturizing as well as multitasking you can use it as a lip balm.

Here are some more swatches of Pinky Peach.

I barley had to rub the pan to get it to show up this dark for me I wear it more as a flush. For me I applied it with a small stipple brush. I like ELF's a little better than MAC's for cream blush because it's stiffer and allows you to build the colour. On me it comes out glowey and finally a Matte  blush that I really like. It doesn't make pores show either because no shimmer. I added some Mary LouManizer to highlight but that's about it. My eye look was done with Naked3.

Verdict: I love this blusher! It is highly pigmented and true to pan. What you see is what you get on your skin. It does not get shiny so in terms of oil control it works if you need that. I recommend a small stipple brush or any stipple brush will apply this perfectly. Hey use your fingers it's makeup so do what makes you happy.:) This blush is a winner for me. What do you think? Have you tried other colours from the Cheek Beam collection? This hippie girl wants to know.

Peace,Love,and Makeup!

OH!SHY Touch Like Moisture Layered Pact SPF30 #21 Bright Beige

So I first fell in love with Asian cosmetics and Skincare when the BB cream craze started a few years ago. I had immediately went on the BB cream bandwagon and to this day still love them.  I  love trying all different types of creams  and I would see BB packs and powders. That did what a BB cream would do. I found the coverage of the packs would vary. When I saw this layer pack from Mizon I thought I had to give this a try. It's supposed to go over BB cream or worn alone. It has a light sheen and it promises to not disrupt your BB or make you look caky. Just good looking skin, so I said why not and purchased this. 

The packaging is just like Benefit's Blush Box's!

I went for shade #21 which is the lightest. I'm about an NW15-20 in the Summer. When I went to swatch it, it matches my skin exactly. So showing a swatch will not be condusive, so I will just show what it looks like on me. The shade #21 Bright Beige is my exact match it also comes in #23 but like most BB's it has a limited shade range. For us pale girls this is a great product. Now let's check it out it's too cute!

 As you can see it comes with a wool bristled bush that is sooo soft. I use the brush and find it works very well with this Pact. For me the brush is the perfect applicator for this powder. Here's a shot of the brush you will see it's well made.

The best and cutest part to me is the powder itself!

As you can see this is one of the cutest pacts out there! It feels so soft to the touch and is matte with a very tiny sheen. That is perfect because you are matte but not flat;) I applied this alone to just primed skin. I used Lioele Pore Rich Balm to prime. Then I used this over the top with a touch of concealer. From what I have read the air light powder will help amino acids adhere to the skin. It also keeps moisture in your skin while leaving your complexion bright and healthy. Also it contains a SPF of 30 which is great for protecting the skin.

The coverage is around MAC's Studio Fix Powder. It totally evened out my skin tone and I only needed to conceal one hormonal spot. I purchased this on Ebay because it can be very expensive mine was $13.99 but it retails around $20.

This is excellent no makeup, makeup which, is one of my favorite looks. Here it is on me with my model Psylocke.

My Tonk photographs better lol;P But as you can see it looks super natural and will last all day with primer. I recommend this powder to those who want a good powder over there BB cream or wants light coverage. It cover's a multitude of sins but it is not full coverage. So be aware if you are looking for a full coverage powder this won't do the job. Skin79 Scandal BB Pact has more coverage for example. I am loving this powder and Mizon in general it's becoming one of my favorite brands. So most definitely check this out you will not be disappointed! 

What is your favorite BB pact? Inquiring hippies want to now your thoughts!

Till Next Time my Lovelies<3

Lioele Blooming Gloss in Vanilla Pink #05 and Lovely Twoway #010

I have a confession to make. I am a total lipgloss junky! I mean a really bad one, if you saw just what I keep in my bag alone it's really scary. For some reason though I love my glosses alone or over lippies. So when I came across these Lioele Blooming Glosses I was like oh yea the more the merrier. What I did not know was how fantastic these glosses are! Most people who do not like lip gloss don't because it either feels sticky or goopy. That is the #1 complaint that I see when I read reviews on glosses. See that never bother me because I always fall in love with some shimmery colour. Then I find another and my bag fills up;)

Well, when I came across these I thought they were just your standard run of the mill glosses. No! My lovely's these are better! First they are not sticky Yaaaayyyyyy. Seriously if you have long hair you know how your hair gets stuck in your gloss. Or they just feel yukky on your lips. Well, if you are a gloss hater I implore you to at lease give these a shot. The Blooming Glosses smell amazing like this fruity floral goodness. I'm telling you these are the best scented glosses I have ever come across. Also they remind me of MAC Creamsheen for way less moola! Ok enough talk let's look at these lip glosses! 

                                               Top: Lovely Twoway Bottom: Vanilla Pink

As you can see they are beautiful looking lippies! They are very sleek and contain a lot of product 4ml to be exact! They are very pleasing to the eye and something I will enjoy keeping in my bag.

The applicator is a doe foot which is my personal favorite.
                                          Top: Vanilla Pink                Bottom: Lovely Twoway

These go on super smooth and makes your lips feel so buttery! The scent is out of this world amazing I cannot say that enough. They have shimmer as you will see, but it is not glitter! It irks me to no end when shimmer haters say it is glitter!! That is so nit picky in my opinion when it comes to glosses. Its like don't buy shimmer if you don't like it. It is fairly simple really but hence we cannot please all.......rant over lol. Now Lovely Pink has an Opal like sheen to it. Whereas Lovely Twoway has a lot more shimmer leaning on the cool side of skin tones with a silver shimmer.

Here is the swatch of Vanilla Pink:

Now Lovely Twoway:

Are they not gorgeous or what!?!? They are some of the most beautiful glosses I have ever used! I wore Vanilla Pink all day and it does not dry your lips, or make them peel! Vanilla Pink goes amazingly well over MAC's Creme Cup too. So these work very well alone or over a lip stick. 

Lovely Twoway I have been rocking on its own but will be pairing it with a nice darker pink for Spring/Summer. These are great glosses for the upcoming warm months as pretty pink lips are always in style. Besides being pretty glosses they are supposed to help plump your lips. They also contain some lip goodness like helping to repair cells due to external stimulation. It also contains natural pigments, and polymers that help keep moisture in and dryness out. Pretty cool if you ask me.:)

Finally here's what they look like on me. I'm an NW15-20 maybe and I also have a very cool complexion for reference.

                                          Top: Lovely Twoway              Bottom: Vanilla Pink

As you can see they have high shine and give good colour payoff for a gloss! They last longer than most other brands as well. I can get at least 2 full hours out of these, which is great because less retouching is always a plus. These retail from as low as 8$ to as high as 13$ depending on where you shop. Costsell.com and LioeleTexas.com have the best prices and most amount of shades to choose from. Best part is both are located in the US! I also picked up a Blooming Tox Lip gloss which, is supposed to plump your lips so I will review that soon. Can you tell I love these lippies.;) What's your verdict? Love?Hate? Want or Not? Let me know. Till next time my lovely's!

Peace,Love, and Makeup!

Baviphat California Scandal Lip Primer

Now lip primers are something where I own a few like Too Face and OCC Lip Primer. Both never really worked very well. Also they are super expensive and for the money you should get some longevity with your lippie. Now here comes along Baviphat and their California Scandal Lip Primer where you get 15grams!!!!!! for around 7$. Now this is an awesome price so today I am testing this lip primer to see if it really works.

First let's take a look at this adorable product.

I love the Pinup girl! For once a primer that isn't in a tube and you apply like you would lip balm. You also get 15grams of product I just had to say that again:) Let's look at the primer itself and I will comment on application,feel,etc,.

It is pink but shows up clear on your lips. The texture is silky smooth and it makes your lips into a smooth canvass to apply your lip colour. I know with tins people will think that it can get germy. Just wash your hands before you apply or I just use my lips and rub them against the balm. Here are my lips with the primer on. As you can see you can't tell I'm wearing primer;)

My lips already have a pink hue to them but it does go on invisible! Also I let it sit a few minutes before I apply so it absorbs and my lips are ready for colour. Your lips feel silky smooth and it has no taste or weird smell. This helps to fill in lines and wrinkles it also smoothes out rough spots. I like to use ELF's Lip Exfoliator before for extra smoothness especially with really bright or, deeply pigmented colours. It also contains Ricinus Communis Oil or Castor Oil that helps protect your lips from chapping or flaking! So this is perfect for those really drying lip sticks you might have. 

Here is the colour I chose to test this with I picked a very drying Matte that I adore from Illamasqua. It's called Box named after there lovely head artist and my personal favorite Professional Makeup Artist Emma box.<3

I have worn this for a little over 2 hours and through eating and drinking the fade was very even as you will see. Also my lips still feel hydrated and the colour did not settle into my lip lines.

As you can see there was a little bit of feathering but this is a very finicky red. Usually when I wear this colour I use ELF's Lock and Seal to ensure that it doesn't do that. For a primer though I think it did an excellent job at holding this shade.

TheVerdict: It's super smooth and creamy and it really held on to my lipstick and this was a hard one to try for the review. More creamy colours and lighter ones will work very well with this primer. It kept my lips hydrated and they didn't feel dry you know the kind where you can't wait to put lip balm on your lips. No flaking or patchy colour either. I really like this primer and recommend it.
What's your favorite primer? Have you tried this one? What's your verdict? I'd luv to know until then my lovelies.:)

Peace,Love, and Makeup!
