LuView Lemon Bubble Cleanser Review

I was inspired to buy this cleanser after SparkleApple's review, and for only $4.56, how could I resist?!

As the bottle states, it is a:

"Hypoallergic cleanser that with micro bubbles that clean deeply even inside of the pore"

(Well, I've paraphrased it, but I think it's more grammatically correct this time >.< ! Someone correct me?)

Scent: It smells nothing like lemon actually! I really can't describe it, except that it's a very light and unique herbal scent which took me a bit of getting used to.

Texture: You can see in this closeup pic that the formula is quite light and fluffy:

Cleansing Ability:

It's a very mild but effective cleanser that rinses off extremely easily with water! I don't experience that drying squeaky clean feeling afterwards. Sometimes my T-zone greases up if my cleanser is too harsh, but not with this one! I've been using it for a week now, and my skin feels very soft, with the perfect balance of natural oils. It's amazing!

But as gentle as it is, it still does a very impressive job of removing base makeup, which is kind of like dirt right?

If you like using facial nets:(if you don't, skip this section!)
The last thing I want to mention is not so much a shortcoming of this cleanser--because I really do like it--rather, just a misfit between what I want in a cleanser and what it offers. I like using a facial net to foam-up my cleansers. I just looovvvee washing my face with all that dense marshmallow foam~~ It's so fun, and not to mention, gentle to your skin! (If you have no idea what I'm talking about, click here.)

But I've found that because this cleanser is already so fluffy, it doesn't foam-up as well as others. For comparison, this is how LuView foams with a net. A closeup shows lots of little bubbles, making this cleanser true to its name!

On the other hand though, a random charcoal cleanser from Daiso creates a much thicker and denser foam, and much more of it:

More foam, more fun!
(And yes, you should actually remove lenses and eye makeup before you wash.)

The other thing about the LuView foam is that once you start washing your face, the bubbles start popping. You can actually feel it, I swear! While it's kind of fun, eventually the bubbly foam disintegrates, and you're left with very much less washing medium than you started with...and I just hate rubbing my face directly with my fingers because gives you premature wrinkles!!! 

All this is no big deal if you use more, but I'm frugal and I love my foam...Otherwise, I think it's a really great cleanser!

TLDR: LuView's Lemon Balm Bubble Cleansing Foam is a gentle, mild, and effective cleanser. True to its name, it is indeed bubbly! 

Thank you for reading! 

Airi is back!

So it's been a few weeks since I last posted. What has Airi been up to since then? Well.....

1. I've revamped my blog layout! I shall call this one Chichibanban Version 2.0!  I am quite content with this one. My previous layout was so wannabe bling, and I mean it! I was trying to be all elegant and princessy with the cursive fonts, but truth be told, I was just lying to myself...

I am WAY too clumsy and childish to feel elegant, so I feel much more at home with this kind of layout! The only thing that frustrates me is that I haven't found a way to add the "previous/newer entries" link at the bottom. Anyone know how?

2. Thanks to my Oppa, I've been sick--for the first time in ages! Now I normally have army strong T-cells, but after being around my virus-infested Oppa 24/7, I got sick too. It was so miserable, I tell you! Painful sore throat, accompanied by throbbing headaches, and now my throat is clogged with mucus. I have mucus breath, yay~~~

3. And last but not least, look what I have here!

The nice Cantonese mailman delivered this package to me before wishing me a happy weekend. Aw~ ^^

Look at this humongo box with the Korean-font handwriting! It's so cute the way they wrote USA...And I didn't know you could write directly on the box...I am never spending money on labeling slips ever again!! And...Hyundai tower? Cool man!!!

So about 1.5 weeks ago I ordered facial cleanser and bbcream--which is for my friend, btw--from Luview. They're having this 50% off sale, and shipping was only $3! Sweet deal! Even cooler was that gift-wrapping was free, which is perfect because the bbcream was going to be a gift!

So I opened the box and it looks like they doubly-cushioned the products with tight bubble wrapping and paper shreds!

And here we are, the facial cleanser, bbcream, and a brochure. Looks so fancy and high-end, keke:

Except...where was the gift-wrapping? .....Unless....the paper shreds and bubble wrap are the gift wrap?

Hahahaha~ Well, since my gift-message was nowhere to be seen either, it looks like they just forgot! Oh well, no worries! I'm quite excited to try this brand, and I have high hopes it will make my skin luminous...

And lastly, my little brother Yoshi is coming to visit me this Wednesday, whee!!

Short update over, Airi clocks out! Bai!
