Luview Sponsored Review: Crystal Cover BB Cream

Looking back on my Seoul pictures, I realize that a month has passed since.  Time sure goes by annoying fast. The taste of authentic kimchee still lingers (in my mouth and clothes lol), I can still recall our flamboyant tourguide’s face and I still have urges now and then to visit Dongdaemun and shop until 5am.

One thing I regret is not buying as many Korean cosmetic products as I have done in my past visits.  I did not want my boyfriend to stand awkwardly and helplessly in the corner of the store being trampled by other Japanese tourist. I really did not feel a need to hoard since our Korean town, Shin-Ookubo(新大久保), has been opening shops carrying Korean cosmetics.  Nonetheless, the brand names they carry are very limited, leaving me with less choices; less new findings.

I want to thank Luview for assigning me as their Power Angel (which is cool because my dad's actual name is Angel) and especially want to thank Lina, who is an awesome beauty blogger, for introducing me to Luview.  

This is my first ever sponsored review and just as a disclaimer, I was not paid to do this. Luview was very generous in sending me their products to try and I will be reviewing them a little at a time since reviews will be both in English and Japanese. 











このブログではじめて日本語で打ち込みます。皆さんが暖かく読んで頂ければ。。。助かります（笑）。　よろしくお願い致します。ｍ（＿　＿）ｍ


最近のお気に入り韓国化粧品ブランドを紹介します。


そのブランドとは、ＬＵＶＩＥＷ（ラビュー）です。


ＬＵＶＩＥＷは20～30代、特にオリエンタル（アジア）の女性達をターゲットしている韓国の人気ブランドです。その人気さの秘密は商品に使われている、アジア清浄地域で 厳選された天然ミネラル成分と１１種植物性茶成分で、ＬＵＶＩＥＷのいわゆるオリエンタルフォミューラーです。これで、女性の肌に優しく、自然な仕上げを提供しながら、ＬＵＶＩＥＷのＨＰによると「老化と色素沈着の重要原因である太陽から肌を効果的に保護し 皺改善、美白機能、紫外線遮断をKFDAから認証」を受けます。


早速ですが、商品を自分のペースで出来るだけ一つ一つ紹介させて頂こうと思っておりますので、
今日は1番のお気に入り商品の一品をレビューさせて頂きます。


それは、クリスタルガバーＢＢクリームです☆


ＢＢグリームが大好きで、今まで試してきたのは約７本目ｗｗ



Sooooooooo, today I will be reviewing the product I've been constantly admiring on Luview's website: CRYSTAL COVER BB CREAM.

中身も良いし外側はまた高級！スレンダーですごくかっこ良くないですか？

                        
I am a sucker for BB creams, especially from Korea.  I am also a sucker for this sleek glass container.  


This cream is made from jewelry ingredients melted into botanical tea.  How natural does that sound?  It provides coverage, whitening (KFDA certified), UV protection (KFDA certified) and improvement for wrinkles. This means, no sunblock or foundation are required.  Just this one bottle. And best of all, it is compatible with all skin types.


こちらのクリームは植物性茶の中に宝石！の材料が溶け込んでいるみたいです。化粧品に宝石が入ってるなんてさらにゴージャスな感覚がしますね。また、シワの改善、美白、紫外線遮断（ＳＰＦ３０）三種機能性化粧品ですので、日焼け止めまたはファンデも要らず、この一本だけで十分です。テカリ肌でも乾燥肌でもどの肌のタイプでも使えます。。。らしいです。ｗ

I have really bad acne scars so the fact that I could cover my scarfs (that I unfortunately got recently) with one layer is amazing. The finishing is so radiant and smooth without any yucky sticky skin. :) With another layer, it leaves a more matte finish.  If only I could wear this cream all over my body. lol


私の肌はニキビ跡や赤みところが多いので、このＢＢクリームがそこを完全に隠されます。それに、さらっと素肌感。素晴らしいです。☆＾＾

Light beige & Natural beige －ライトベージュ・ナチュラルベージュ

My scarf I got from Korea is gone! lol

Coverage（カバー力）: ★★★☆

Price（値段）: ★★★☆　($25.20. Compared to big brand names that I bought, this is pretty affordable) (￥3,000 （税込￥3,150）高級ブランドより安いので嬉しいです。)

Pros　（利点）: Great coverage, natural ingredients, sleek casing（カバー力がすごい、自然な材料を使用されている、スレンダーなボトル）

Cons　（欠点）: Because it's mainly targeting Asian skin tones, the range of colors are few.  Although the color was okay with me since my arm is darker than my face, I could go for a tad bit darker tone. （色の種類が少ない。私の肌の色はナチュラルベージュより黒いかも。。。）

そして、なんと、日本に今月上陸する予定です！是非、皆さん色々試しに行ってみて下さい～♪

They will be opening their first shop in Japan this month! I can't wait to go and check it out.
