Soooo, today, I had this thought in mind and I couldn't shake it, "I cannot use powder foundation for touchup through the day." Even though I had been doing it previously, once it got into my head, I couldn't help but obey.
Since the P&J SA said I could only exchange my P&J Pressed Powder 05 for 02 next week, I had to find something else to use for touching up through the day. And since I had a beauty voucher for Stardust at John Little, I decided I could get something there.
The voucher could only be used on its own, without other discounts, so I headed to the Lioele stand and tried all the powders. I wanted something Korean so that if I liked it, I could perhaps get more in S Korea when I'm there.
I decided on Lioele Sun Elastic Pact and took my chance with it, crossing my fingers that it wouldn't be overpriced compared to its original price in won. It costs $39SG. With my voucher, it costs much less than the original price of 28,000won (which works out to about $32SG). In fact, on the Lioele website, there's a sale for this item, at 19,600won=$22.50SG). Overall, I don't feel cheated.
The powder is fine, lightly perfumed and glitters with light shimmers. A light touch and blending is needed when applied on the face. There is a danger of it looking too cakey if I apply too much, but otherwise, it's a good substitute for until I get my P&J replacement. The packaging is rather bulky but quite cute.

Ah the Lioele compact looks so pretty!♥
Sometimes MUA are so difficult, why can´t you just exchange the stuff they recommended wrong?-.-
♥
That compact is sooo kawaii! the powder looks very nice too.
Jess, that enabler via Fuz, caused me to purchase 3 things from BeautyBay.com--P&J Protective Foundation N in 10, the new whitening serum, and that cute kitty bad with the coral blush and lippie!
I am sure you will be happy when you get your new powder!
i didnt manage to buy any lioele in korea, hope we have more luck this round!
yay! if anything it might be dinner cuz I know Naomi said she has exams...even on a weekend poor girl. how long are you going to be in seoul? you must be super excited!
the P&J SAs were the opposite of the one you encountered. I went to the P&J counter at least 3 times and only one of them was really nice and gave me samples, the rest didn't. i don't understand why they act so bitchy sometimes, like the one you talked about. wouldn't they want our business?? hehe
I have the Lioele Sun Elastic Pact as well. I was a bit shocked by the small glitters inside, but fortunately they are not too obtrusive. I wonder if it will really block out the sun like a sunblock does with the same SPF.
Oi, I never listen to MUA's anymore...they traumatized me...LOL, but seriously, even when a MUA has good advise, I kind of think they just want to sell their goods...too bad about that
