Review: LUVIEW (路薇儿) Korea "the ORIENTAL secret": Your Ideal Choice of BB Cream

Special thanks to CITC Malaysia for delivering such awesome box to me. Unboxing my parcel delivered by a gentleman few weeks back, I was surprised with the whole range of Korean-based 

LUVIEW Latest Makeup Series: "the ORIENTAL Color and Beauty".

Officially launched in mid July 2012, LUVIEW products are now available at 58 selected Watson Personal Care's outlet around Peninsular Malaysia. In Korea, it is a very fast growing cosmetic brand, targeting on ladies aged 20 to 30 (Sadly, but true, I fall into this category already!!) who are striving for career success and romantic love.

LU+VIEW = Luminous View with the oriental color and beauty

1. Created by highly optimized formula 
2. Made of natural minerals and botanical tea extracts around Asia
3. Using the most advanced dermatology

Fret not, after weeks of using them, I can assure you that LUVIEW products are
very suitable for those living under dry and hot climates, especially us in Asia.

#1 LUVIEW REAL SKIN PRIMER BB CREAM

“By covering blemishes and irregular skin tones with the function as a primer, this BB cream makes your uneven skin even and creates flawless, clear skin. Its sebum-controlling effect helps you maintain smooth make-up and ingredients like elderberry, blackberry, etc protect your skin from toxic environment.”

If you have uneven skin tone, pores and blemishes on the skin, then this type of BB cream would be the best among all to cover the imperfections perfectly. Personally, I really do think this is an awesome product for my skin because it has almost all the functions in other ranges of BB Cream above. Whitening, sebum (oil) controlling, moisture and recovery properties are some of the good points of this item. 

 The best thing is, after applying it on the left side of my face, you can clearly see my skin is brighter, shinier and all the visible pores are gone! I just apply a light layer, yet the coverage is so effective. With this primer BB cream, I don’t need to put on other make-up base and foundation.

#2 CRYSTAL COVER BB CREAM

“The jewelry ingredients like crystal, pearl, amethyst, etc provie the vitality to the skin and maintain clear skin tone, making your skin healthy. Natural, flawless and full coverage with excellent feeling of adherence and coverage, the matt finish delivers bright skin tone to your face.”

Featuring UV protection of SPF30, I love using this as a base layer to produce a flawless, shining crystal-like skin. Definitely my favourite pick when it comes to choosing BB Cream, because I always dislike those that feels heavy and sticky on the skin.

Surprisingly, Luview Crystal Cover BB Cream is light in texture, not sticky and the coverage is almost perfect! Look, my open pores and pimples are all covered evenly. A light layer would be sufficient, so I think this bottle of BB cream can last me half a year (or more!), and sunblock maintenance base or foundation are unnecessary after applying this.

#3 AQUA ESSENCE WHITENING BB CREAM

“Deep sea water with plentiful minerals and botanical fermented ingredients deliver abundant moisture and makes your skin dewy and glossy. Extracts from aloe and kava soothe your skin and it is safe for even sensitive skins. Oil-free, Talc-free, Paraben-free.”

To be honest, I feel skeptical when I see the texture of the BB cream is watery.  I doubt if it would be able to have an even coverage on the skin, but truly it has proven me wrong! Not only it can provide a smooth light coverage, it greatly replenishes the moisture I need for my skin too.

Despite of its whitening properties, I find that it actually brightens my skin, allowing a healthier-looking complexion while maintaining the natural skin tone. Unlike many BB cream, Luview has this wet type of whitening BB that soothes the skin. Apply lightly (I think I put on too much here!) and make-up base and foundation are not required to use separately. 

#4 WHITENING CAPSULE BB CREAM

“This BB cream is a new concept where the white cream in the capsule finds and expresses the natural skin colour when it’s popped out. It is certified by KFDA for its whitening effect and the white flower ingredients in it helps your skin vivid and moisturized.”

Don't belittle this mighty little bottle of BB Cream that will make wonders on your skin! 

I find this magic BB cream very interesting. It pops the micro capsule in a white gel-like form, and greatly infused with a strong whitening functionality to bring out bright and glowing skin. Made from natural mineral content, the cream is white in colour, but when I apply it evenly in a circular motion on my skin, slowly it blends into the natural color of my skin. 

I simply love the natural flawless skin tone it creates! Even when I put it on my hand, it tends to have a smooth and glowing texture after applying this miraculous BB cream!

#5 LEMON BALM BUBBLE CLEANSING FOAM

“Hypo-allergenic cleansing foam, extract of lemon balm & olive purity facial wastes and brighten your tired skin. Papaya extracts control pore-clogging dead cell skins and its fine bubbles cleanse even inside the pore thoroughly.”

As I open the tube, the waft of refreshing aroma of lavender, aloe, and lemon scent hits me. The aroma is quite strong but pleasant, and tends to be very soothing to the skin. Simply apply an amount of a 20 cent size, then massage with water to produce enough water, and rinse thoroughly. Made of vegetable ingredients such as lemon balm (herb) and alpine herb, it has a low skin irritating characteristic that makes it suitable for the sensitive skin like mine. 

The whole range of LUVIEW's latest product series,  comprises of 9 items in total. 

Will reveal the other 4 products in my upcoming blog post! 

VERDICT:

Personally, I feel that LUVIEW BB Creams are more moisturizing than many brands I've encountered. It feels light on the skin and blends pretty well but my personal favourite goes to the Crystal Cover BB Cream. Really it is an essential for make-up base, and most importantly, not sticky / oily at all after long hours of applying it :)
