DIORSNOW: Light Veil White Reveal Silky Veil Makeup

Hi everyone! As winter approaches (arrived in my city lol, it is snowing so hard in my city already ><), it's time for me to introduce some winter makeup. Dior generally (I've seen exceptions...:( ) have very fine powders =)

The first impression I got was the nice packaging. It has a sturdy case, a little pocket/bag (what do you call it?) the dark blue thing in the picture to put the your powder case in. It has both a BRUSH and sponge applicator, and a rubber band to fasten everything to keep it things from slipping out. Great to just slip into your purse! The brush is very soft and easy to store.


Product Description: Dior creates Diorsnow Light Veil White Reveal Silky Veil Makeup for ultra-natural transparency and infinite well-being all day long. White Reveal foundation: incomparably light. Ultra-fine powders, specially coated for optimal absorption into the skin, and the new transparent Diamond Prism pearl makeup fuse into an invisible veil with a transparent, ultra-natural finish.
White Reveal Foundation: extreme comfort. The T.E.C. whitening technology is enhanced with a new, high moisture agent providing endless comfort for hours on end while maintaining the freshness of the makeup effect.



     After the elegantly written product description by the company, I can say that they did not exaggerate the goodness of this powder. It is truly the most lightweight, natural, transparent powder I have ever encountered. It does not leave your skin cakey AT ALL. It fits the skin so well, that it feels and looks like you do not have powder on!! It also does not dry up the skin and leaves your skin extremely comfortable=) SPF 20, PA+++ is a huge plus for any face powder. It has medium coverage, a bit to the light side. In my opinion, it does a really good job of coverage in consideration of it's amazing feather weight transparency! =)


     The things I don't like about it is that it doesn't have very good oil-absorbing properties. But this problem can be targeted if you add a primer, (costal scent's rice powder review coming soon) to it before your foundation or BB cream. I am a combo-oily, and I still get by with this powder. It is not oil-absorbant as some powders who specialize in that property, but it doesn't clog your pores and make your skin secrete more oil. 


Color - 021
SPF 20 PA +++

     This shade is a very natural shade that I think will fit many skin tones. It's a safe shade to bet on and since it's very transparent, it doesn't add too much colour on your face. It looks very natural on my skin, not too white or dark; fits just nicely =) There are 3 other shades to this product.

Pros: 

-Transparent
-Lightweight
-Doesn't dry up skin
-SPF 20, PA +++
-Natural, looks like your own skin
-Feels comfortable on skin
-Very fine powders
-Good packaging and includes tiny brush

Cons: 
-Not high on oil-absorbing properties.

Overall Rating: 4.5/5

LIOELE: Help Me Dark Circle Eye Cream




Another review on the princess brand! Lioele is more famous for it's makeup products, and I don't see as much reviews on it's skincare products yet. Generally, I also think that their makeup are more outstanding, but I want to share this eye cream with you cause it's really not bad =) 

Lioele Help Me Dark Circle eye cream has a nice thick texture. Usually for eye creams, you don't want to choose one that is too watery. A watery eye cream have a higher chance of getting into your eyes =( If you don't like thick texture creams, try applying less and patt it in. That makes a big difference =)


Product Description: With light massage, it releases tired eye area and lightens skin tone by absorbing  deeply into sensitive eye area with soft texture. It helps to ease dull dark circle by including Lioele's patent ingredient which is called Phytowhite and with and with botanic ingredients. 
Although I don't see a significant decrease in dark circles, the cream is very moisturizing. Fine lines lessen and eye areas are more tightened. I am impress with tightening properties. =) However, disappointed that it doesn't help my dark circles (it is hard to tell at times because sometimes I will sleep late and you eat more salty stuff and these adds to the dark circles. So maybe the cream did help a bit, but not too much)



As you can see, the texture of the cream is thick and not watery. However, I do not feel like there's a layer of grease on my face after application =) It spreads easily and soothes your sensitive eye area =)

<3 Eye Cream Application Tip <3 :
Apply your eye cream from the outer to inner corners of your eye. Your skin is thinner in the inner areas of your eye and does not require as much cream. The first part the cream touches highly correlates with where the most percentage of the cream goes. Any unabsorbed cream may lead to whiteheads! 


Pros:
-Good texture, not watery

-Soothing
-Tightening
-Reduce fine lines
-Easy to spread 

Cons:

-Doesn't reduce dark circles


Overall Rating: 3.7/5
