Hello lovelies~~

I really love Etude house mono eyeshadows, that's why I've been thinking about trying one of their limited edition eyeshadow palettes for a while, and the ones I've wanted to try the most are:

  • Etude House Play Color Eyes Ice Van 
  • Etude House Play Color Eyes Juice Bar 
  • Etude House Play Color Eyes So Hot Play 
  • Etude House Play Color Eyes in the Cafe
So when I found out that there are only few Ice Van palettes left, I knew I had to get it, especially since it has the most natural colors in the bunch, so it would be great for daily makeup.



Description and claims:

The 10-color eye shadow palette expresses sweet ice cream colors on the eyelids. Great for summer & beach makeup.

Product details:

  • Composed with best colors of 'Look At My Eyes' & 5 new colors
  • Sweet Ice Cream colors that melt into your eye mildly
  • Soft & silky texture with highly pigmented, lasting color
  • Creates versatile makeup look in matte and shimmer finishes


Volume: 1g x 10


Active Ingredients:

I can't seem to find the ingredient list.. sorry.


Packaging:



The shape and concept of this palette is pretty similar to the other 10-color palettes they have. It comes in a mint colored packaging, which I think is really pretty and gives the refreshing vibes of summer.


The eyeshadow pans are separated from the large mirror by a plastic film where they've written the shades' names as well as some cute ice cream drawings. 


It also comes with a couple of applicators that look kinda cheap in my opinion and that I would probably never use.


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)


Summary


Pros:

- Cute packaging
- Silky smooth powder, blends out seamlessly
- Fairly pigmented
- Lovely color selection
- Lasts for 6-8 hours without primer, and moooore with a primer.
- Large mirror
- Isn't patchy, and doesn't crease


Cons:

- The mint color isn't as pigmented as I would have loved it to be.
- The applicators that comes with it are pretty much useless



Do I recommend it?
Yes.

4/5


You can buy it:

Etude House Play Color Ice Van retails for $35.99 at Amazon.

Hello lovelies~~

Today, I'm gonna review one of Heimish best selling products: Heimish Dailism Eye Palette in Blissful Plevy, but there are 6 different palettes you can choose from:
- Breeze Beige
- Lovesome Brink
- Brisk Grey
- Balmy Khaki
- Cozy Coral
- Blissful Plevy
- Coralic


Description and claims:

Trendy color daily filtering, Dailism eye palette.The soft and shimmering , the eight universally flattering shades in this palette are all you need to light up eyes for day and night. Includes Sparkle Eye Shadow in Ballet and Opal, Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow in Petal and matte Eye Shadow in Grey and Blue, plus rich Espresso for lining eyes. The sleek black palette includes a large mirror and Dual Ended Eye Shadow/ Eye Liner Brush for flawless application, anywhere. The silky, powder formula glides on lids and blends easily, so you can layer and build shadows as desired. Densely-pigment shades stay color true and won't crease, flake or fade.  


Volume: 7.5g


Active Ingredients:

Talc, Mica, Titaniume dioxide, Boron Nitride, Silica, Magnesium Myristate, Propanediol, Polyisobutene, dimethicone, N-Lauroyl-L-Lysine, Trimethicone, Mineral Oil, yellow iron oxide, ultramarine. 



Packaging:



The Heimish Dailism Eye Palette is very similar to the Heimish Dailism Blusher Palette (you can find my full review here). The only difference is the colors: instead of a glossy and shimmery pink plastic palette, this one comes in a black matte one. they are both very simple yet elegant (just like all of Heimish products) with a rose gold heimish in corner... I'm a sucker. (btw, the rose gold foil might start fading after a couple of days, I personally applied a nail polish topcoat to preserve it)



Between the eye shadows pans and the full sized mirror lays a protective plastic film with "No More Normal" written on it, which seems like the brand's motto since it's written on all of their products.


Just like the other heimish palette, the brush that comes with this palette is pretty decent, it picks up a good amount of product and does a good job blending it. Also, the colors come out better using a brush than your fingers.


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.

First row: (I used my finger to swatch them, one swipe only. the color comes out better using a brush)


Second row: (I used my finger to swatch them, one swipe only. the color comes out better using a brush)


Summary


Pros:

- Gorgeous  sturdy packaging
- Silky smooth powder, blends out seamlessly
- Fairly pigmented compared to other Korean eyeshadows
- The glittery shades are pure glitters and are so beautiful, and aren't gritty at all
- Sophisticated color coordination
- Doesn't look patchy on the lid
- Lasts for 6-8 hours without primer, and moooore with a primer
- Large mirror
- Decent brush

Cons:


- The matte packaging can look dirty since it picks up dust etc easily, and it can look scratched up.
- The foil of the logo fades easily (hence why I always apply a topcoat on top of it)
- Some shades aren't really pigmented which can be a con to many of you


You can buy it:

The Heimish Dailism Eye Palette retails for $26.91 and is available in six color options at Stylekorean.com. 



Do I recommend it?
Absolutely ♥


4.5/5

Hello ~~

I've never really had a problem with my pores since they have never been noticeable, but recently they became a little bigger (nothing EH Beauty Shot Face Blur can't fix, reviewed here), but still I thought about trying something new that could work for my mum and sister as well since they have an oily skin with much more noticeable pores, that's why I wanted to try this Aritaum primer, especially after reading that it was a Benefit Cosmetics POREfessional dupe.

Description and claims:

- The breathing mineral polymer gel covers pores and irregularities smoothly for a flawless look!
- The micro-fine sebum control powder absorbs sebum for a matte finish!
- Green tea extracts sooth and tighten skin!

Volume: 25ml


Ingredients:

You can find the full ingredient list as well as their analytics here on CosDNA.


How to use:

Apply a small amount on areas with problem pores or irregularities such as the T-zone, nose areas, and cheeks and pat gently to spread. Wrap your face with hands to use the warmth to enhance absorption before applying makeup.

Packaging: 10/10



It comes in a simple squeeze tube with a tiny nozzle that makes it easy to control the the amount of product you wanna squeeze out.


Scent: 7/10

It has the typical siliconey scent most primers have.


Texture: 9/10

This is a thick paste that spreads out easily and makes it easy to fill out the pores.

Shade: 9/10

This primer comes in a nude-ish color that is supposed to match every skin tone once spread out.


Effectiveness: 9/10

This primer does a great job imo filling the pores (as you can see in the pictures below where I tried to hide my mum's pores) and leaving the skin silky smooth. It also increases the lasting power of the base make up and makes it slide on your skin seamlessly and look flawless. (in the pictures below, I've used the little amount shown in the picture above, I didn't want to add more just to let you know approximately what such amount can do. you can get a better results if you apply a bigger amount)



Moisture/oil control: 9/10

It does a great job controlling sebum and keeps your makeup from creasing.


Do I recommend it?

Yes. it is a really good primer that does everything it claims, and I can say that it is absolutely similar the the benefit porefessional primer but for a much affordable price. 

You can buy it:

Aritaum Pore Master Sebum Control Primer retails for $6.97 at Amazon

Hello everyone, and welcome back to my blog ~~

After trying out Leaders Moisturizing Recovery Coconut Mask and Teatree Relaxing Renewal Mask and falling for both of them, I decided to try their 7 Wonders Himalayan Camellia Pore Minimizing Mask, hopefully I will like it as much as I did the other two.

Description:

The camellia flower is considered the miracle oil in East Asia, and is used to make anti-oxidant rich green and black tea. It restores skin by reducing fine lines and the appearance of pores.

Treats:
- Rough skin
- Irritation
- Enlarged pores
Effectiveness:
- By diminishing fine lines & acne scars
- Refines rough skin
- Soothes troubled & irritated skin
- Visibly minimizes pores

How to use:

Apply to a freshly cleansed face. Remove mask from packaging and peel off protective film from one side. Attach mask to the face and remove the outer protective film. For best results, leave mask on for 20-25 minutes before removing. Gently massage the excess serum into face and neck until fully absorbed.

Volume: 30ml

Ingredients:

Water, Butylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Fruit Extract, Glycerin, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Acer Saccharum (Sugar Maple) Extract, Betaine, Ethylhexylglycerin, Caprylyl Glycol, Arnica Montana Flower Extract, Xanthan Gum, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Water, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Fragrance, Houttuynia Cordata Extract, Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil, Ledum Palustre Extract, Saururus Chinensis Extract, Artemisia Absinthium Extract, Artemisia Capillaris Flower Extract, Ecklonia Cava Extract, Achillea Millefolium Extract, Gentiana Lutea Root Extract, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Panthenol, Niacinamide, Tocopheryl Acetate, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-40, Retinyl Palmitate, Biotin, Ascorbic Acid, Folic Acid, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Ceramide 3, Glyceryl Linolenate, Glyceryl Linoleate, Glyceryl Arachidonate.

Packaging:





Just like the Moisturizing Recovery mask (reviewed here), this mask is a 3 layers mask: The outer two should be peeled away to reveal the middle layer, which is the actual mask (Many people don't read instructions and end up putting the 3 layers on their faces and complain about how heavy it is and how it doesn't adhere well to the skin) 

Sheet texture: 10/10

Again like their other coconut mask I've tried, this one is made of 100% naturally fermented coconut gel that claims to deliver 10 times more hydration. it's of a really good quality: It's pretty thin and smooth (it kinda looks like a rice roll paper), and adheres to the face perfectly which means you can move freely during your sheet masking session.



Essence: 10/10

This mask comes with a 30ml of thick essence which is a generous amount imo, and unlike other sheet masks where the essence keeps dripping all over the place and is practically wasted (unlike you recycle it like I do), you can pour this essence over the coconut gel mask and it will surprisingly absorb it all and efficiently deliver it to your skin.

Fit: 9/10

This mask fits nicely. The eye holes aren't too big (like the horrible elizavecca sheet masks) nor too small. Also, there is no left over sheet mask overlapping your hairline.

Performance: 8/10

So after exfoliating my face to make sure my skin will absorb all the goodies and there would be nothing stopping my pores to minimize, I put this mask on.
It adheres perfectly to the skin there are no air bubble or anything in between. I kept the mask on for 30min and during this masking session, I didn't feel any irritation or unpleasant feeling.
After taking it off, my skin felt hydrated, less irritated and plump, and looked more radiant and glowing. I'm not sure it minimized my pores since I don't have huge pores to start with (they are pretty small so I was expecting it to make them almost unnoticeable tbh), but after reading some reviews of people with actually huge pores, I think it does minimize huge pores and make them less apparent.

Would I repurchase it?

I don't have huge pores to start with so I don't really need it, but I love how it plumped my skin up and made it look more radiant.


Where tu buy?

For US (and Canada I believe) residents:
Leaders 7 Wonders Himalayan Camellia Pore Minimizing Mask retails for $6 a sheet or $58 a box of 10 at Their official website and is also available many other places like Ulta and Ipsy I believe. (it is available pretty much everywhere.. you are lucky guys)

For international buyers:

I've checked every K-beauty website I know but couldn't find this mask anywhere (you can find the other Leaders masks on W2beauty, Stylekorean and Koreadepart, but not this one).

All that's left is to check the good ol' amazon and see if they ship to where you live (they don't ship to Morocco..) it retails here for $5.5 a mask and here for $40 a box of 10.
Please let me know If you could find it anywhere that ships internationally ♥



Disclosure: Financial compensation was not received for this post. A sample product was gifted from Leaders Cosmetics USA. Opinions expressed here are 100% honest and my own.

Hello Lovelies!

Guess who's finally back! did any of you miss me? I guess nobody did... *pouts*
I feel like all I've been doing for this last couple of months is reading novels and taking exams without studying enough (I TOTALLY blame sir Rob aka Rob Thier for writing such amazing life ruining stories) but now finally, exams are over, I'm kinda satisfied with my results and I finally got over my bitter I'm-not-interested-in-anything-anymore mood.

and when I was thinking about what product should I review next (I have twenty something products that are still wating for their turn to be reviewed... a though choice right?) One of my friends got me this Jungle Botanics scrub to try.


Description and claims:
The “Natural Body Glow Nutshell Scrub” is a body scrub that contains finely ground walnut shell granules
and various natural oils from the jungle. The round-cut granules do not irritate your skin,
but gently exfoliates and purifies, leaving your skin healthy, smooth, and glowing.
Via Wishtrend 


Volume:
 250ml


Ingredients:
Water, Juglans Regia (Walnut) Shell Powder, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Glycerin, TEA-Lauryl Sulfate, Propylene Glycol Laurate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Fragrance, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Oleyl Alcohol, Sodium Chloride, Cocamide DEA, Triethanolamine, PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Carbomer, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Zea Mays (Corn) Starch, Sucrose, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Mannitol, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Pentaclethra macroloba seed oil, Garcinia Indica Seed Butter, Bertholletia Excelsa Seed Oil, Astrocaryum Murumuru Seed Butter, Tocopheryl Acetate, Titanium Dioxide, Mica, Butylene Glycol, Origanum Vulgare Leaf Extract, Ocimum Basilicum (Basil) Extract, Moringa Oleifera Leaf Extract, Malpighia Emarginata (Acerola) Fruit Extract, Gaultheria Procumbens (Wintergreen) Leaf Extract, Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Extract, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Extract, Crocus Sativus Flower Extract, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Fruit Extract, Citrus Aurantium Amara (Bitter Orange) Flower Extract, Achillea Millefolium Flower Extract, 1,2-Hexanediol, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Prunus Persica (Peach) Kernel Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil, Hippophae Rhamnoides Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Gossypium Herbaceum (Cotton) Seed Oil, Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Oil, Camellia Japonica Seed Oil, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Pseudozyma Epicola/Soybean Flour/Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil Ferment Filtrate, Tin Oxide, Ethylhexylglycerin, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Benzoate, CI 77491

So according to COSDNA here, this scrub has many good ingredients, but there also some not so safe ones such as Cocamide DEA, which might be irritating to some of you, but I think that it won't do any harm as long as you don't use it on your face. So please keep in mind that this is strictly a body scrub that shouldn't be used on your face, at all.


How to use:

1) Squeeze moderate amount of product onto wet skin and massage in circular motion. Rinse thoroughly with water.
2) Recommended use: 2-3 times a week


Packaging:
It comes in a large 250ml squeezable tube which means it's more hygienic than scrubs (or any product) that come in jars, and its glossy beach themed colors only make it more appealing. its hole is large enough to squeeze the the right amount of product, whitout being too large to end up with more product than required.





Scent and texture:
When I first opened the tube, I was expecting a strong fake walnuts scent, but was surprised and kinda confused when I was met with a sweet scent that's kinda similar to Argan Oil. Combined with its brownish color and extremely granular texture, it made me think about Moroccan Amlou the whole time I was using it (for my non Moroccan readers, amlou is a spreadable past that is made of Almonds, honey and Argan oil, and it's reaaaaaally yummy)


Performance:

Surprisingly, this scrub's tiny teeny granules did actually scrub my dead cells away while still being gentle on my skin (they absolutely did a better job than those scrubs with large granules, a thing that I didn't expect), it also didn't dry my skin out but instead left it really smooth and soft afterwards thanks to all those vegetable oils included in the ingredients, it also kinda helped with the few spots in my shins where I have keratosis pilaris (don't expect anything miraculous if you have it in large areas, that way you won't be disappointed)
I was also worried that I might need a large quantity of product to scrub my whole body (I was honestly expecting the tube to last for merely a week or two to be honest) but a little amount was more than enough, which is always an added bonus.


Summary

Pros:


- it gets the exfoliation done asap
- Lovely Hygienic packaging
- Leaves my dry skin soft and smooth
- Uses actual walnut granules as its exfoliator

Cons:


- some not so safe ingredients


Where can you purchase it?
- At Wishtrend for $29 (You can also use this invitation code 125028803 to get $5 off your first purchase)
- At Amazon for $23.90 (Click here for an Amazon Prime 30-Day Free Trial)


Would I repurchase it?

Yep

I usually try new sheet masks on Saturday (just in case I react badly to any of them, I can stay home on sunday), and since it's that time of the month and my skin is acting up, I decided to try another mask I've got from Leaders Cosmetics USA : Teatree Relaxing Renewal Mask, to see if it really does what it claims and if I'm gonna love it as much as I loved their coconut moisturizing recovery mask (I reviewed it here)


Description:

A natural cellulose cotton sheet mask, infused with organic leaf extracts, that provides oil control and helps to soothe irritated, sensitive skin. The Tea-tree relaxing renewal mask promotes balanced skin through fresh organic leaf extracts (birch, hazelnut, and olive), which help protect skin from harmful external environmental factors and prevents breakouts.


Recommended for:

- Sensitive skin due to breakouts
- Rough and unbalanced skin
- Skin that is irritated, itchy, or sunburned


How to use:

Clean face with gentle cleanser and pat dry. Remove mask from packaging and contour mask to the face. For best results, leave the mask on for 15-20 minutes. Gently massage the excess serum into face and neck until fully absorbed.

Volume: 25ml


Ingredients:

Water, Methylpropanediol, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Dipropylene Glycol, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Acer saccharum (Sugar Maple) Extract, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Centella Asiatica Extract, Betaine, Xanthan Gum, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract, Pinus Densiflora Leaf Extract, Propanediol, Polysorbate 60, Sorbitan Isostearate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Artemisia Capillaris Flower Extract, Ecklonia Cava Extract, Houttuynia Cordata Extract, Ledum Palustre Extract,Saururus Chinensis Extract, Achillea Millefolium Extract, Arnica Montana Flower Extract, Artemisia Absinthium Extract, Gentiana Lutea Root Extract, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, Betula Alba Bud Extract, Corylus Avellana (Hazel) Bud Extract, Juglans Regia (Walnut) Leaf Extract, Olea Europaea (Olive) Bud Extract.


Packaging:





Sheet texture: 10/10

When it comes to cotton sheet masks, I don't really pay attention to the sheet itself since most of them are similar but this one felt really different than the others. The cotton fabric it's made of is strong and thin, and isn't as opaque as the other cotton sheet masks I'm used to.

Essence: 9/10

The cotton sheet mask comes soaked in thick syrupy essence, with a lot of leftover inside the package that you can apply to other parts of your body, or store and use the day after.

Scent: 8/10

It smells really fresh with a subtle hint of tea tree. Nothing overwhelming but it might bother some of you.

Fit: 9/10

This mask fits perfectly. The eye holes aren't too big (like the horrible elizavecca sheet masks) nor too small. It also adheres well to the skin and doesn't slide off your face continuously.

Performance: 10/10

Leaders' cotton sheet masks are definitely more expensive than the classic Innisfree and Tony Moly masks, but are also much more effective.

When I had this sheet mask on, it didn't feel refreshing (or maybe I just couldn't feel it since it was freezing already), but it didn't irritate my skin or make t feel hot either (like what the Tony Moly tea tree mask did, reviewed here).


Once I took it off, it left a slight stickiness that disappears once the essence is fully absorbed. My redness was gone right away and my skin kinda calmed down, and feels smooth and hydrated.
The next morning, I could notice that my teeny tiny pimples are gone and the big ones are noticeably less swollen.


Would I repurchase it?

Absolutely!


Where tu buy?

For US (and Canada I believe) residents:

Leaders Tea Tree Relaxing Renewal Sheet Mask retails for $5 a sheet or $48 a box of 10 at Their official website and is also available many other places like Ulta and Ipsy I believe. (it is available pretty much everywhere.. you are lucky guys)
It also is available on Amazon: 1 sheet mask for $4.99 and 10 sheet masks for $40


For international buyers:

I've checked every K-beauty website I know that ships worldwide, unfortunately it is sold out almost everywhere, except for StyleKorean where you can get 10 for $16.82 + shipping fees (it originally retails for $28 + shipping fees but it's currently on sale)

Hello ~~

How are you guys? hope you are having a great time, and that you had a wonderful holiday so far ♥

I also wanna wish you guys a happy new year full of love, well being and success. I can't believe this is the last day of 2018 already... I've tried many new korean brands these couple of years (especially makeup ones), but the brand that got me absolutely hooked (as you might already know) is Heimish, thus the reason why I wanted my last review this year to be about a Heimish product: Heimish Artless perfect cushion.

Description and claims:
- Seemingly effortless moistly covering cushion compact. It forms a moisture-locking membrane that gets firmer the more it is padded, leaving skin smoother.
- Naturally moist and glowing cover of a firm, sticky cushion texture with a moisture packing system full of moist glow, it naturally and smoothly covers skin blemishes.
-  Bright skin tone without darkening even if re-applied: Even if repeatedly applied several times, it gets lightly absorbed without darkening, leaving skin bright and clear all day long.
- Formula that protects skin from a harmful environment: Thyme flower, mint leaf, rosehip fruit, and other compounds form a thin moisture-locking membrane that protects skin from harmful matter like minute dust in the air.



Volume: 13g (x2 since it comes with a refill)



Ingredients:

Water, Titanium Dioxide, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Cyclopentasiloxane, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Cyclohexasiloxane, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Glycerin, Niacinamide, Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2, Octocrylene, Zinc Oxide, PEG-30 Dipolyhydroxystearate, PEG-10 Dimethicone, Iron Oxides(Ci77492), Butylene Glycol, Sodium Chloride, Quaternium-18 Bentonite, Dimethicone, Origanum Majorana Leaf Extract, Rosa Canina Fruit Extract, Thymus Vulgaris (Thyme) Leaf Extract, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Leaf Extract, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Iron Oxides(Ci77491), Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Aluminum Hydroxide, Iron Oxides(Ci77499), Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, Chlorphenesin, Adenosine, Fragrance


How to use:

At the end of your skincare routine, press on the puff to soak up a desired amount of the content and apply using a tapping motion all around the face. After each use, be sure to keep the compact closed. To insert the refill, flip the product over and push the bottom out with both thumbs. Carefully align and press in the refill, enjoy.


Packaging: 10/10





You might think that I'm biased or something, but Heimish packagings are G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S! They are simple yet elegant and modern, and I am absolutely sold whenever it comes to pink and rose gold.




I also love how the design on the lid is simply printed but the are some shimmery flakes in it, and the whole thing is covered with a hard transparent top, which makes it really beautiful (I failed big time showing the details with my phone's camera...)


The cushion case is kinda similar to your typical bb cushion's one, with a front release and a mirror... except for two things:

- The puff is a little thicker, denser and slightly bouncier than the typical blue air puffs, which kinda makes it absorb less product.




- since they use the mochi technique, the cushion isn't flat like the other cushions (I tried to take it in pics but failed...), so you might get some of the bb cream on the lid.


Scent: 9/10

It has a light flowery scent, nothing overpowering and fades away moments after application (but still, it might bother you if you have a super sensitive nose.


Shades: 7/10


This bb cushion comes in only two shades (21 and 23 like most of the other korean base products).
Undertone: I got it in the light beige shade (21), and it is quite neutral with a tad bit of pink to it, which a plus for me.
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)


Coverage: 7/10


This bb cushion has a medium coverage that can be built up. In the pics above, I have applied the product with the cushion like I would do on my face. I didn't layer it. You can see that it did a nice job covering my hand's redness, but couldn't completely cover the line I've drawn.


Finish: 8/10

This bb cushion has a satin finish (which is a plus for me since I don't like the super dewy kinda look), adheres well to the skin and is easily blendable. It doesn't conceal pores (nor emphasise them) so you might consider using a pore primer beforehand if you have huge pores. It also clings to dry patches and kinda makes them more obvious, so make sure you get rid of those before using this bb cushion (or any base makeup in my opinion)


Moisture/oil control: 8/10

I don't think that this as moisturising as they make it seem (it doesn't dry out the skin either), but it is kinda understandable since it kinda has a matte finish. So you better rely on your skincare rather than this bb cream if you have a super dry skin.
As for oil control, I think this bb cushion does a nice job for about 4 hours if you have an oily skin (not extremely so), before the skin starts becoming a little dewy, but after a couple of other hours, you might need to use a no sebum powder or blotting paper.


Lasting power: 9/10

If your skin is in a good condition, this bb cushion will probably last all day (especially if you use a primer with is). But if you have a super dry/dehydrated skin or live somewhere where the wind is blasting constantly in your face (same for the heater and the air conditioner), then this might look a quite patchy on you after 4-5 hours.


Do I recommend it?

If you have a normal to oily skin, then yes absolutely.
But if you have a dry skin, then I don't think this is the right bb cushion for you (especially during winter), unless you are taking good care of your skin (as in exfoliate it enough and moisturize it before using this bb cushion) or live in a humid region.
