Leiania House of Beauty BB + CC Glow Creme with SPF30

I love wearing BB (Blemish Balm) Creams everyday. They me a more natural look compared to foundations while they instantly hide minor blemishes and spots on the skin. BB Creams are already great as is, but what more if they are combined with CC Creams, right? Oh, you would definitely want to try this combo yourself!

Anyway, introducing... the Leiania House of Beauty BB + CC Glow Creme with SPF30, another innovative product of Leiania House of Beauty infused with organic and natural ingredients for a healthy skin treat!

This is your anti-aging tinted moisturizer that will give glow to the skin, covers imperfections, reduces the appearance of pigmentations spots, smoothen fine lines, firms and plumps the skin with natural plant and mineral pigment SPF30, Raspberry Oil and Zinc Oxide gives gentle purely natural UVA and UVB sun protection to fight free radicals. *97.5% Natural made with Certified Organic Ingredients *SPF30; UVA/UVB Protection, SLS & Paraben Free *Hypoallergenic, *Sebum-control

The product comes in a sturdy plastic bottle with a pump dispenser making the product easy to dispense on a preferable amount. However, I find it a little bulky to fit pouches (unless you really have big makeup pouches). Packaging wise, all the needed information are displayed on the sticker attached to the bottle--manufacturing and expiry dates, ingredients, detailed information, even some proof of authenticity.

If I am not mistaken, Leiania House of Beauty only have one shade for their BB + CC Creme which, I can tell even with my beginner eyes, is a match for fair-skinned gals. This made me sorry for medium and tan-skinned beauties. I was first a bit hesitant myself upon trying it out because I was pretty sure it would not look good on me, that I might look like a clown afterwars. People labeled me out in fair but with a yellow undertone so this BB + CC Creme still could be out of tune. BUT I WAS WRONG.

As you can see, the product is a tad lighter than my usual skin tone, so, at first, I thought it would just create a pretty awkward white cast on my face but the formula is so easy to blend and adjust to every skin tone pretty quickly. It's texture's just like a moisturizer and isn't too runny nor too thick. My pores absorbs it quickly without leaving some sheen on the face so you can picture how my oily skin is starting to love this product. It dries to a somehow matte finish, by the way and is VERY lightweight on my skin.

That being said, it hardly conceals blemishes, reddened pimple and acne scars, pores, etc which might not be a problem for others but a problem for me as whenever I apply it, I know I still need the magic of a concealer. On a lighter note, I kinda prefer BB creams that yield a natural-looking skin and even skin tone and would not give me a look like a have layers of coverage. This is the perfect fit so I guess, this product is still a great one.

See how natural-looking it is! Just make sure to blend it well while it is still there as it may be hard to blend when already dried. 

I like that it gives me a more brightened and glowing skin without the risks of having harmful chemicals like parabens as it's all formulated with all natural and organic ingredients that would protect skin from harmful substances! Also, it smells nice with a vanilla kind of scent!

What I like:
  • Does not cause me to breakout
  • Non-greasy
  • Smells nice
  • Organic and natural
  • Has SPF 30
  • Moisturizes
  • Brightens
  • Even out skin tone
  • Affordable at P410
  • Lasts for hours


What I don't like:
  • Light coverage
  • Does not really control sebum production for long
Neutral:
  • Packaging (I'd love it even more in tubes.)

Obviously, the pros overrides the cons which made me think that Leiania House of Beauty BB + CC Glow Creme with SPF 30 is worth repurchasing! Hope you all had a nice day! Til my next blog post! Happy blogging!

Love,
Hanna

Leiania House of Beauty Ultra Tone Whitening Face Creme

Moisturizing everyday has become my habit. I once had a bad case of oily skin but chemical peels dried it out too. So you can now imagine that my face turned into combination skin type which requires the use of moisturizer with lightweight formula. I prefer oil-free ones but Leiania House of Beauty Face Creme is definitely a welcome exception as it's another product infused with natural and organic ingredients that would probably do your skin more good than harm.

Ultra Tone Whitening Face Creme 30ml
Bought for: Free (P295)

This is the first step to my moisture series (lol). However, I just apply it during night time as the formula's a bit greasy and can trigger severe oil production. It smells fruity too, I sometimes think that it smells just like their lotion which I really love because the scent tends to linger for a long time. Though some might find the scent a bit heady.

The product comes in a plastic bottle with a pump dispenser, great tool to control the amount of product to use on the face. This makes the product hygienic too. Packaging wise, all the needed information are attached to the bottle--ingredients, direction manufacturing and expiry dates, proof of authenticity and other additional information (for OC pips like me, lol).


Leiania House of Beauty Ultra Tone Whitening Face Creme claims to be formulated with a range of natural and organic ingredients that moisturize and brightens the complexion. The combination of organic plant oils rich in Vitamins A, C and E will help repair the looks of fine lines and discolorations, while actives from AHA, Phyto Fruit Extracts, bearberry, green tea,  and liquorice extracts, will help to lighten blemishes, lighten skin naturally and brighten face to reveal younger looking complexion. It is an anti-aging facial creme that delivers continuous hydration and moisture for that vibrant look.

Natural Ingredients: *Fresh Aloe Vera Extract, Aqua, Floral Hydrosols from *Bearberry, *Liquorice Root, *Chamomile Flower, *Green Tea, *Rooibus, Soybean Oil, **Capric Caprylic Triglyceride, **Niacinamide, Glyceryl Stearate, Fresh Goat Milk, **Cetyl Palmitate, **Sorbitan Palmitate, **Sorbitan Olivate, Cyclopentasiloxane, *Rosehip Seed Oil, Stearic Acid, **Cetyl Alcohol, **Kiwi Fruit Extract, AHA Phyto Fruit Tocopherol,Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol (and) Sorbic Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Vit. A Palmitate, **Australian Mandarin Essential Oil, **Sweet Orange Essential Oil, **Vanila Essence. *ORGANIC INGREDIENTS. **PLANT DERIVED


The texture's like those of typical creams in the market--white and creamy--however, it's made of organic and natural ingredients, the inconspicuous difference. Also, most creams, nowadays, are very innovative, turning to matte when dried for example or is oil-free. This face creme, however, do not seem to mind being 'trendy' or 'catchy' but instead just do what they are supposed to do--combine naturally beneficial ingredients to come up with an amazing product like this.

Yes, it leaves quite a sheen on the face (which you can counteract with some face powder) but it's something that would be on the least of your concern as you will be positive that you feed your layers with only healthy food for the skin. By the way, a little amount would go a long way already. A pea-sized is actually more than sufficient but it still depends on your preference.

Upon application, I feel some minty effect on my skin. The formula is uber easy to blend, can be easily absorbed but yeah just like what I have said, the oily properties on the cream do not easily penetrate through the pores so in possible worst cases, it could turn your face to an oil slick as easy as counting from 1 to 10, you would look like you slather some oils on your face accidentally. On a lighter note, it does feel lightweight on the skin.

I use it every night after toning my face with Leiania House of Beauty Age Defy Toner and I am getting no major breakouts yet (except for my usual tiny pimps during my period). The part where it claims to lighten the skin is where I tend to refute as using it for almost a month made no big difference on my skin tone. Maybe it does not lighten the skin permanently, but it did brighten it up every morning upon waking up when you regenerates cells the most.

What I like:
  • highly moisturizing
  • brightens the complexion
  • smells fruity
  • a little goes a long way
  • affordable
  • made of organic and natural ingredients
  • helps remove minor spots (with continuous use)
  • gentle and sting-free
  • does not cause (me) to breakout

What I don't like:
  • can trigger severe oil production
  • can emphasize pores
  • does not really lighten the skin tone
  • available only online
Overall, I'd say that Leiania House of Beauty Ultra Tone Whitening Face Creme is worth your every try. I'd recommend it to any skin type but most especially to dry and sensitive ones who are looking for products that would definitely suffice all their moisture needs! Avail now and experience its wonders! Happy blogging!
