Lioele Reviews!

This review has been a long time coming, like it was suppose to have been posted before I went to Vegas...so I'm really sorry about taking forever to post this! Now on to the review!

I had jumped on the Lioele bandwagon about two months ago when I watched the gorgeous guru, Jen's (frmheadtotoe) YouTube video about the line. YouTube brainwashes us, don't let anyone tell you otherwise lol. I got my products from Pretty & Cute (which is a pretty cute site and also the site that gave Jen the products to review). The delivery was pretty fast and Janie, the owner, also included free samples, (free is always great! ^__^)

(Don't mind the FF13 case in the background ^__^)

From Left to Right: Lioele Beyond the Solution BB Cream, 3D Enamel Lipgloss in #2 Smokey Beige, Essential Donut Glo-Stick in Milky Pink

I'll start from left to right. The Lioele Beyond the Solution BB cream is pretty fantastic. It has medium coverage and really evens out your skin tone. It can even be used as a concealer after the first layer is applied all over your face. The packaging is also super cute and sanitary being that it contains a pump. The only thing that makes me really sad is the one color choice. Like most BB creams, this has only one shade. The color does blend a bit with my skin but I do find it a bit too light. I'm a NC25-30 during the winter and probably a NC35-40 in the summer when I'm tan. Being that I'll get tanner in the summer, this BB cream will definitely not work for me. (I don't forsee the pancake face look becoming chic anytime in the future.) For those of you gals who are on the paler side (NC20-25 maybe NC15) this will be fine for you. Another thing that you will notice is that UNlike other BB creams, this does not contain SPF. Lioele does have a BB cream that contains an SPF, but this isn't it.

Here's the cream blended in. As you can see it's a tad lighter than my skin. It's much more noticeable in the picture with the flash. I will say that the picture was taken right after I blended the cream in and that it does settle a bit and blends into your skin after a few minutes, but I still feel it's a bit too pale for me right now. In the winter though, I think this will be perfect for me.

The next thing I picked up was a lipgloss. This wasn't reviewed by Jen but it caught my eye when I was browsing the site. I love the scent of the lipgloss in all honesty, more than I like the color. It smells like this fruity Asian candy I used to eat as a kid so it brings some nostalgia. The gloss is fine to wear by itself, but I think that it adds a nice accent to a lipstick that's a tad to bright or dark. Here are the swatches:

The color is a milky nude. I thought it would be like the MAC Cremesheen in Boybait but it's a bit lighter and more opaque.

The brush isn't a doe foot applicator but I feel that it picks up more product on both sides of the brush.

The pigmentation of my lips still shows through, but I don't think it looks all that bad by itself.

The last product I picked up was a lipstick. I love this product. It doesn't feel like a lipstick at all, more like a lip balm that smoothes my lips. The Lioele Essential Donut Glo-Stick (boy what a mouthful haha) has cute pink packaging and is great for some color on your lips. This lipstick is suppose to control the dead skin cells that form and also makes your lips soft. I really believe that it does make my lips softer. There is a slight floral scent but it's not that noticeable unless you really put your nose close to the lipstick. The color I picked up is called Milky Pink. Now I don't think it's all that milky but it is a nice shade of pink. It's more of a light rose color.
