I didn’t think I’d do another cushion makeup review after the wrap-up, but I was lucky to have Hera send me the UV Mist Cushion Ultra Moisture (SPF34 PA++).
I was told I don’t need to do a review; just as long as I try it out. They said it’ll be great if I liked it and featured it, but it would be okay for me to rant about it if I didn’t like it.
So, I was grateful to receive this and try it out, and when I did, I’m in love!
Although the product didn't succeed at living up to its name, it's still the best cushion makeup I have yet used!
Hi everyone!
Thank you so much for awaiting this review!
As you know, this was given to me by Espoir, but obviously I reviewed it as honestly as I could.
I think I am going to have a love-hate relationship with this product, but nonetheless I hope this review will help you decide whether or not it's for you. ^^
Here is my final verdict, though:
NB: Fit face brush is the brush that was released with the foundation (that I rave about)
Hey there!
I was always curious about the Draw my life tag, so I did one for myself!
Only that I didn't want to say too much about my personal life because it involves my family (and a lot happened lol), so I decided to focus on something more ME,
which is being a geek.
So, I went to the You Are Here cafe!
It was a pretty cool experience. The milkshakes were super rich!
I had the Oreo McFlur...I mean, the Oreo Milkshake. It's thick, it's sweet, it's great.
The carrot cake was also great! That deep, rich flavor...Yum!
The macarons were a little bit disappointing (I had blackberries and because they tasted more like baby milk. I felt like the filling could've been better if it was just the jam, not a tiny drop of jam in cream (or cream cheese? not sure).
But overall it was pretty awesome.
I would've LoVED to taste the brownie, but it was sold out! Better luck next time! Fingers crossed ;)
The pricing is, I'd say average Hongdae coffeeshop price (aka it's quite expensive).
6.900 KRW for the milkshakes, and I think the carrot cake was 6.500 KRW.
Macarons were somewhere around 2.000 KRW.
But do visit, it was really nicely decorated and the dessert was really pretty good! ;)
So, this is going to be my first written Korea Loves post on this blog!
I think I've tried about nine cushions, and condensed my general opinion on them into this one video. I hope you enjoy!
So after reading this you'll be like, "so what are you saying I should get?"
Honestly the best scenario is that my individual reviews will have helped you make up your mind, but if not, here is my order of preference!
9. The Saem Eco Soul Moist Aura Cushion #2
It was so terrible I decided not to make a video on it, even. It offers no coverage, but manages to cake up on your face and make a grey-pinkish cast on your face. Skip this.
8. Peripera Pride Up Moisture Cushion Pact (Frozen Elsa)
Just... Don't even. similar reason as The Saem Moist Aura Cushion. No coverage, but creates a white cast on your face.
7. Tony Moly Aqua Aura UV Cushion Pact #2
I somehow skipped a review on this one, but it's okay... it would've ranked higher if it were cheaper, though. It has a medium coverage, it's drying and it feels like I'm wearing a mask.
6. Primera Watery CC Cushion #2
Maybe good for really oily skin. It accentuated the dry patches on my face and is too pinkish for me (not so grey, though). Definitely NOT the one if you have medium to dark skintone.
5. Hera UV Mist Cushion #23
It was...mediocre. the color is a little bit too light so watch out. Not super drying, but it tightened my skin from dryness after a couple of hours, while looking dewy (or oily) on the outside.
4. Etude House Proof Any Cushion #W13
Better (ie. slightly yellower) and cheaper than Primera Watery CC cushion, but very similar in every aspect. Recommended for oily skin with a bit of blemishes :)
3. Sulhwasoo Evenfair Perfecting Cushion #21
Has a grey-pink undertone. Can be cakey, but has a pretty good coverage. A little bit moisturizing, but has an impressive coverage. Lasts longer than IOPE air cushion XP (cover). Recommended for older women!
2. IOPE Air Cushion XP C21
Great ivory color, nice and moisturizing, okay coverage, BUT WHY NOT STAY ON THE FACE FOR A DECENT AMOUNT OF TIME????? Always keep an eye on your skin because it has a lot of slip-and-slides, melting, and can become oily and collect around your nose. However, Best choice for really dry skin.
1. Laneige BB Cushion
Best Best Best Cushion makeup evarrrr! Unless you have super duper dry skin, go for this one (moisturize well when before applying it). great color for my skin (not too yellow but definitely not pink!) Lasts long, great coverage, and a gorgeous semi-matte, natural glow!
So how did you like this review?
I hope now you have a better grasp of whether you want a cushion makeup; if you do, which one would probably suit you best! It was a journey long and hard to get all these cushion reviews together, but if you found it helpful, I'm happy!
XOXO
