Project BB Cream | Lioele Beyond the Solution BB Cream.

If you're a fan of the Korean brand Lioele and live within my area, you'll be glad to know that we now have easy access to Lioele products. Lake Zen the Medical Spa, one of my favorite beauty and wellness centers here in San Pablo City, is now an authorized distributor of Lioele. And during my last visit to the spa, not only did I get a massage, I went shopping for Korean cosmetics as well. :)

One of the few things that I bought was this pouch sample of the Beyond the Solution BB Cream - one of the best-selling products from Lioele.
Lioele Beyond the Solution BB Cream.
This BB Cream comes in four sizes - the pouch sample which sells for Php50, the 5ml miniature tube at Php 250, the 30mL tube at Php 570, and the full-sized 50mL tube which sells for Php995. I decided to get the smallest size, since this will be my first time to use this product.
As usual, everything is written in Hangul.
For your reference, here's how the full-sized tube looks like. Don't you just love their uber cute packaging? The brand logo itself is very chic and stylish, and yes, it's reminiscent of Cinderella's carriage.
Full-sized tube.
The product is described as such in their English website: 
Long-lasting BB cream - soothing and keeps skin smooth without sebum secretion. Helps to create a clean and natural skin tone by being absorbed into your skin with a soft usage. This enables speedy make-up application due to the unnecessary need to apply makeup base or foundation. 

I took note of the active ingredients found in this BB Cream and some of them are: squalene (hydrates and moisturizes the skin), jojoba oil (soothes the skin and fights skin irritation), macadamia nut oil (smoothens the skin), allantoin (moisturizes and protects the skin against irritants), marine collagen (makes the skin tight and firm), and hyauronic acid (keeps wrinkles at bay).

Now here's how the BB Cream looks like.
Swatch it! :)
It comes in one shade only (natural beige), and while the product itself appears lighter than my skintone (as you can see on the back of my hand), I'm glad that it worked differently and adjusted to my skintone quite well when applied on my face. I've read reviews saying that this BB Cream leaves a grayish cast, but there was none based on my experience.
Left without BB Cream; right with BB Cream.
Beyond the Solution has a thick and creamy consistency similar to that of The Face Shop's Power Perfection BB Cream and Nature Republic's By Flower BB Cream. It gives medium to full coverage without feeling heavy on the skin and leaves it with a semi-matte finish. Its mild, floral scent on the other hand, reminds me of my favorite BB Cream from Missha. As for the wear time, this product stays put for a good eight hours without a primer on. When worn with a primer, I reckon this product can stay on my face for twelve hours, maybe even beyond.

My only gripe about this product? It has no SPF! :(

What I love:
- Cute and stylish packaging.
- Comes in four different sizes.
- Affordable price.
- Easy to apply and blend.
- Creamy texture, but doesn't feel heavy on the skin.
- Gives medium to full coverage.
- Semi-matte finish.
- Mild, pleasant scent.
- Long-wearing.
- A little goes a long way.
- No breakouts, no allergies, safe for sensitive skin.

What you might not like:
- Comes in one shade only.
- No SPF.

And finally, here's how the BB Cream looks like on me. :)

  10. BB creams from Korean brands work better on our skin. Your skin looks perfect on the photo. I wonder if they can have another variant with SPF.

  16. I really enjoy your BB Cream reviews since I'm into BB Creams too! Haven't tried this yet but I've read a lot of good feedback for this including this post. I just hope it has SPF since I don't use Sunblock na whenever I apply BB cream. It looks flawless on you btw! :)
