The packaging states that it makes your face shiny but it doesn't. Actually it has a semi-matte finish, that sets beautifully.

As for oil contril, it has some oil control properties and prevents your face from reflecting your colleagues' faces on it after few hours. Here is the oil test I did, and surprisingly, it didn't product any oil even after 6 hours (I only took images during the first hour... I forgot to do so later so yeah..)

Here is a comparison with some other bb creams.

Scent: 9/10
Shades: 7/10
SPF: 50 PA+++ which means you might look like a ghost if you took pictures with flash while having this bb cushion on (or any other korean bb cushion for this matter)

Texture: 9/10



The cushion is saturated with product, and the CC cream is so lightweight, spread thinly and adheres well to the skin. It can be kinda sticky and transfers during the first couple of minutes, but once it sets there is no hair sticking to your face, and it doesn't stain my hijab (I hate base makeup that transfers on my hijab and leaves a dirty mess)


Coverage: 5/10


This bb cushion has a light to medium coverage that can be built up. It covered most of my redness, some small blemishes and evened my skin tone. So if you have any major redness or need a lot of coverage, you'll have to apply a concealer as well because this won't help much



This bb cushion has a satin finish (which is a plus for me since I don't like the super dewy kinda look), and doesn't look makeup-y at all. It looks quite natural. It also does a nice job concealing pores (not sure if it would do the same to huge pores)
I have a dehydrated skin so long lasting base makeup tend to dry my skin out even more and cling to my dry patches, so I honestly wasn't expecting much from this cushion, but seems I was oh so wrong. I think it's the first cushion I've ever tried that didn't look patchy on me even after wearing it for more than 8 hours (many other cushions look patchy on me either from the moment I apply it or after a couple of hours). This being said, I exfoliate regularly and I moisturise my skin enough before applying any foundation.


Moisture/oil control: 8/10

I love how this bb cushion is quite moisturising without being super dewy.
As for oil control, it did a decent job but not as much as I thought it would. I have a combination dehydrated skin: Oily and super dehydrated/patchy T-zone (I know it's the worst thing ever), and normal U-zone (check here to understand what I'm talking about). And since it's getting warmer, my skin is back to producing more sebum. After about 6 hours, this cushion started separating around my nose and my T zone became somewhat a little oily, so I think it would take less time to do so for people with extremely oily skin (especially during summer)
Keep in mind that I didn't use a primer or a setting powder with this to test it fully. I also used a sunscreen so it might have affected it since base makeup tend to slip around when applied on top of it. So if you use a good primer and set this with a powder, you might keep your sebum at bay for much longer.

Lasting power: 9/10

This cushion practically lasted all day. I applied it at 7am and it still looked good even after 10hours.
At 7 hours mark, it started separating a little bit around my nose but everything else was still intact. After 10hours, some of the redness around my nose started showing (might as well be because I have flu) but most of it was still covered and the rest of my face still looked quite good.
After 12 hours, it started looking makeup-y, my whole face started looking oily and the sides of my nose started itching which means this became quite drying.
All in all, I think it lasts for quite a long time, considering that I didn't use any primer or setting powder with it.

Texture, Performance and Swatches:
Just like the other Etude House eyeshadows, these ones are smooth and easily blendable. The colors are really pretty and pigmented and the color selection is absolutely awesome, there isn't a color that wouldn't be used especially if you were more into natural makeup. The color payoff is pretty decent but I still like to use an eye primer with them.

This palette comes in a mixture of mattes, shimmers and glitters.

- Goddess with an acoustic guitar: A pretty shimmery copper shade. (shimmer)
- Fresh Grapefruit Tea: One of my favorite colors in this palette; A satin peachy orange. (matte)
- Ah! Secret: A dark cool toned brown with tiny teeny barely noticeable shimmers in it. (shimmer)
- Come With an Wind: This one is really glittery (not as much as the heimish one though, review here), Too bad my phone camera couldn't pick it up. (glitter)
- Strawberry Jubilee: Another favorite of mine, and one of the most pigmented shades of the bunch. A really pretty pink with a tad bit of microscopic shimmers in it (shimmer)
- Rose Tea: A cute pale pink. (matte)
- Vanilla Bong Bong: A yellowish base color. (matte)
- Shooting Mint: another glittery shade with a slight minty shade in it. Too bad it's not as pigmented as I would love it to be. (glitter)
- Mom Is an Earthian: The darkest and most pigmented color in the palette. (matt)
- Finish a Marathon: A medium reddish brown shade. (shimmer)

Texture, Performance and Swatches:
The colors are really pretty and fairly pigmented, and the color can be built up to become (nearly) as vibrant as urban decay's colors. The color coordination is absolutely awesome and sophisticated, are true to what's in the pan and it comes in a mixture of mattes, shimmers and glitters.

Mattes: This palette contains 4 matte eyeshadows that are silky smooth, blend effortlessly and aren't patchy at all
- Acid Washing: it's an off white color that can be either used as a base before layering other shades or to highlight the browbone area.
- Indigo Blue: this color looks more greyish than your average indigo blue, you can use it as a transition color for your smokey eyes.
- Boy Friend: A soft grey-beige that works amazingly as a base, and I think it would work awesomely with everyday makeup. it is the least pigmented out of the bunch in my opinion.
- Destroyed: a matte brownish color that can be used in many makeup looks.

Shimmers: the two shimmery shade in this palette are more pigmented than the matte ones, they glide smoothly on the lid and don't feel gritty at all
- Wearable Color: this is my most favourite shade among the mattes and shimmers (I kinda choose this palette because of this color)
- Selvage: the most pigmented color out of all of these shades. it looks like a black eyeshadow but you can still notice a bluish hue to it that makes it perfect to go with the other shades in this palette.

Glitters: I'm not really into glitters but these made me change my mind. They are amazing, they aren't chunky at all (except for the first use) blend seamlessly and are nothing short than awesome (imo)
- Vintage: this one is pure glitter.  I love it. it can be blended out to get a foily color (if it does make sense)
- Ultra Stretch: this one has a mixture of pink and purple silvery glitters (if it makes sense), and it's reaaally pretty.
