Lioele Lip Color Sticks Review

Lip crayons, the easiest lip product to use because, who doesn't love Crayons?

And best of all, who doesn't love Twistable Crayons?

The first few lip crayons I've tried are mostly like tinted lipbalms, they are highly moisturizing yet has the least amount of pigment.  I love them, but sometimes, I crave for color!  Thankfully, brands are coming up with pigmented lip crayons and one of them is from the brand Lioele.

At first glance, I didn't know these were pigmented, they look like regular tinted lip balms so one swipe gave me a shock! (in a good way!)

Lioele Cosmetic Dollish Cera-V CC Review

By this time, you probably get used to the fact that Lioele products aren't housed in a girly pink/pearl packaging like what we're used to!  A total change in look and packaging as they are more premium and professional-looking judging by the packaging.

After reviewing several Lioele products, mostly positive reviews, I have the Dollish Cera-V to talk about and it took me a while to write a blog post because I really can't decide whether this product is a hit or miss!

Help me out will you?  I'll talk about it more after the jump!

At this stage, you probably knew the difference between a BB and CC cream.  If not, well, to cut it short, BB (short for Blemish Balm) has more coveage while CC (Color Correct) is lighter in terms of coverage and has added brightening properties (mostly).  

And this particular one from Lioele is no exception, with added ceramides, ceramides is a component that is deeply moisturizing to the skin thus it will keep skin looking hydrated, soft and dewy throughout usage.

Lioele Be My Skin Powder Pact Review

I told you Lioele is definitely back so I'm posting my second Lioele product because you girls are looking forward to that!

Lioele Carry Me Blusher Review

If you want to literally "CARRY" a blusher, here's the best packaging for it!

But before I talk about this blusher, can we first talk about LIOELE?

Who remembers the brand?  *Raises hand*  This brand brought me back to so much good 'ol Beauty Blogging memories!  I used to stalk Ebay for Lioele makeup products because Jen of From Head to Toe has been using this brand!

So one Lioele item that I really purchased and used to the last drop is the Lioele Beyond The Solution BB Cream (linking this made me teary-eyed, I didn't have Kyle back then and I'm still living in my parents-in-law's house!)

Back to the review, when the brand reached out to me to try their products, I immediately felt happy because I knew the brand is coming back!  I mean, they have been quiet for the longest time!  AndI am a big fan of supporting brands that I grew up with --- I mean in the makeup sense. 

So are you ready for my first Lioele product to be featured after almost a decade?

Tip for the Day: Base Makeup/Primers

Hello Askmewhats Readers!

I have a very good question asked by my reader a couple of weeks ago and I do apologize for taking such a long time to answer it. I tried putting it up on my "Reader's Corner" episode but the answer gets longer and longer so I've decided to make this a series.

I will answer the question in mini series so we tackle as much as we can! :) Yay?

Here's the question:

"What do I need to purchase to start up my make-up collection?"

Now you know why it took me weeks or months to answer this!!! This is one question that has so many answers!

Before I get to answer, here's a question that I need to ask YOU!

"Are you collecting makeup for yourself?
Or are you planning to be a professional make-up artist someday?" When I told myself I will start to spend my hard earn money on make-up, I knew I wanted to be a make-up artist so I made sure to buy the best of the best on what's out there, at the same time, making sure not to over spend. Here are just some of the tips at the back of my head, there's always a different version out there, but this is my version, I'm sure there's gazillions out there so feel free to share yours ok?

Today, I will start with

Base Makeup/Primers

Foundation can be included under base makeup, but in this post, I will be mainly focusing on pre-foundation products. What must you purchase for yourself or others?
Before you purchase any makeup base/primer, you have to evaluate your skin or your clients' skin!

Dry Skin

• Sunblock
• a moisturizer meant for dry skin
• Primer: this may be skipped, if you have combination skin, you can applly primer only on areas that are oilier

Oily Skin

• Sunblock
• Moisturizer - yes you still need them, apply a thin layer of moisturizer on oily areas and more on the less oily areas
• Oil control primer - to prevent the oilies

Wrinkly Skin

• Sunblock - blocking the sun to prevent further wrinkles
• Moisturizer - meant for aged skin
• Primer - to fill in the lines to have a good canvass to start up with your foundation

Blemished Skin

• Sunblock
• Moisturizer - you can check with your dermathologist for a good moisturizer meant for your sensitive skin. Better to use light and oil free moisturizer
• Treatment cream - from your dermatologist
• Corrective Primer (only if needed) - try not to use primers as much as possible, try to stay away from putting more products on to your skin especially if it's on treatment

Uneven Skin Tone

• Sunblock
• Moisturizer
• Primer that has shade

The tips above are just basic! Rule of the thumb, try to use the least product as possible. Be sensitive on your skin's reaction to each product you've applied.

If you are doing base makeup/primers to a client, do communicate with them and ask them if they have any allergic reactions to certain ingreidents or brands.

Here's a photo on the primers I currently own. I don't use them all on myself, but I use them on clients who are comfortable with primers.

I don't! I let my skin breathe on most days! :)
I use primers on special occasions!
