Lioele Volume Cookie Pact Review

Lioele Volume Cookie Pact Review in #23 Natural Beige

I have two compacts. 

 My first one broke at the clasp. It's that tiny piece of plastic at the top of the compact.

 New-Broken

Also, the first compact had a weird deformation along the rear. It looked like it was damaged but not paint was chipping.

 Old on top. New on bottom. New one still has a little deformation but not as large as first.

The difference of the puffs before and after washing is large.

 New-Old

The new puff is microsmooth. The old puff looks like it has large pores. o.O

I originally bought the pact because the packaging was pretty. I had hoped that the pact would last me a while but it didn't even last me as long as the powder did. Today, I'm switching the powders inside so that I can use the new pact. The old one can't close and I'm worried about dust and such mixing with the powder and puff.

 There is a small hole under the sticker that I peeled off to use. The sticker is also really pretty but I piercing through the sticker might be difficult. So I poke through until the powder pops. It's a very soft sound.

 And you can see than a sort of glue keeps the pan in place. It doesn't dry, but the sight of it makes me a little sick. The light spot is presumably the area that was not painted during manufacturing.

Product

• baked powder with SPF 25 PA++
• smells like warm baby powder. I don't like it but I can deal with it.
• purchased on eBay for 20 USD

Packaging

• medium sized. 3 in diameter.
• champagne mirror finish
• just gorgeous
• but the tension clasp is tight and makes a loud noise. I have to push on the rear when opening and closing to muffle the sound and reduce the tension. It could break again.

Performance

• my first pressed powder. I only have loose mineral powder for comparision
• smooth application.
• slightly lighter than my actual skin color but it passes. fairly matte. makes my skin look softer.
• last fairly long. transfer is much less than loose mineral powder.
• light to moderate coverage. will not conceal everything.
• can be make dry patches noticeable. I always have to moisturize when I put on powder though. I recommend using moisturizer, bb cream, concealer, and setting mist for best results.

Final Thoughts

• beautiful packaging expect for the clasp that might break again.
• easy application. blends well.
• not complete coverage but I'm only looking for something that will reduce (not cover) redness and other pigmentation problems. and I don't have to use much for one application.

Repurchase? Well I did that already. The pact itself may be out of production because I don't see it on the Lioele website but you can still find it on eBay. I may keep repurchasing if I don't find a better powder that matches my skin better.
