Review: LIOELE 3D Jewel Cheek & Highlighter

Lioele 3D Jewel Cheek & Highlighter

P725.00 from Ebay Seller Sun Kim

I've never been much for contouring/highlighting because I find it a bit too troublesome for an everyday look, but when I saw this Lioele 3D highlighter go on sale at my fav ebay store, I knew I had to try it out. I was pleasantly surprised because this had not only the compact highlighter (similar to Guerlain Meteorites in that it has several colors in one cake), it also came with some lovely pink pearls for the cheeks.

The top part opens like a typical compact, and it contains the all-over face highlighter. You can apply this with the brush and/or powder puff that comes with the container. (You unscrew the compact top off to get to the tools.)

When you remove the puff and brush, you have a full layer of pink and white pearl blush highlighters. (I don't recommend using the crappy free brush to apply this, though. Nothing's better than a big fluffy blush brush for picking up powder off of pearls.) It gives off a darling pinkish white glow, best applied on the upper area of your cheeks whilst using your favourite pink blush on the apples.

This is an excellent product for girls who want "their skin, only better". It goes on pretty sheer and is infused with these tiny glowing particles that makes your skin absolutely radiant. Expect to photograph a shade or two lighter than your regular color, so don't forget to dust your neck whilst using this. Even though it seems to blend into your regular color in person, you definitely look brighter in photographs.

I personally use this to dust off my BB cream, though the picture on the left has me wearing it with no other foundation. As you can see, it doesn't help much with my under eye circles, but it's great for that lovely glowing look that all Korean women seem to have. :)

I like this product a lot, though I don't see myself repurchasing it. I prefer more pigmented blush, and the glowy look can be achieved through SkinFood's Buckwheat loose powder (though you don't get the shimmer).

Interested readers can pre-order from Ebay Seller Sun Kim-- just PM her the exact name of the product and expect it within a couple of weeks.

Stay beautiful, ladies!
