Hi everyone!
Two cushion reviews today.
 |
| Missha on the right || April Skin on the left (applied on my face in awful lighting :P) |
Missha Line Friends Edition Magic Cushion 15G + 15g (Refill) [no.23 natural beige] [x]
Claims:
- Improve wrinkles (can't test this)
- Brightening effect (yup!)
SPF:
- SPF 50/PA+++ coverage
Application:
- On the dewy side, but moreso glowing effect than a dewy effect.
Scent:
- Smells great, not noticeable but if someone was leaning in to your face it'd smell nice ;)
Coverage
Feel:
Didn't feel irritating - with ingredients like witch hazel, you'd suspect this was a skincare item and not a makeup item! That's the magic of BB though :) It's supposed to double as skincare. It doesn't weigh down or feel greasy on my face at all.
Overall: 5/5
The Missha Magic Cushion is a classic that works well and really gives you that korean celebrity finish/glow. Come on guys, if you watch kdramas or have seen any kpop in your life, you know what I mean!
The packaging is absolutely irresistible and this will definitely be in my purse. I can't fault it =)
April Skin Magic Snow Cushion White SPF 50 PA+++ 15G (no.23 natural beige) [x]
Claims:
- Freckle coverage - yup! although my freckles are quite light
- Long-lasting - This was a nightmare to remove even with my Banila Co, and my face gets pretty oily!
- Moisturising - Probably? Not what the BB is for, I don't know/mind
- Whitening - For the duration, yes. I don't think this BB would have long-term effects, but can't say.
SPF:
- SPF 50/PA+++ coverage
Application:
- Medium coverage (although depicted as full in ads?)
- On the dewy side, but less dewy than the Missha
- You have to really blend this baby in! Easy to look chalky, gets kind of "clumped" for lack of better word as the day proceeds

| I will take better pictures when I have daylight x: |
Scent:
- Pretty much none
Feel:
It seemed to irritate a dry patch on my face. Other than that, it felt like how foundation would feel on my face. Since I applied it half half with the Missha, it emphasised how weightless the Missha was and how "normal" the application of the April Skin felt.
Overall: 3/5
This product is currently HUGELY hyped in Korea. Like, winning a gazillion awards for achieving a flawless kbeauty whiter magical finish. I was actually really excited for this product. It's making me wonder if I'm doing something wrong with my cushion, haha.
But actually seeing how the product looks and feels on my face resulted in me deciding that this just wasn't the product for me. I'm no cushion expert, and I would still use this product over no coverage - it was just a little lacklustre.
After some research, I realise the white cushion is meant for dry skin whilst the black is meant for oilier skin. This might be why my results weren't very good! Take this review with a grain of salt :P And don't make the same mistake as me!
I received (and handpicked personally!) these two cushions courtesy of bbcosmetic.com. (Cosmetic, not Cosmetics!)
They're a new website that offers free worldwide shipping, and have a decent range of products - I was personally most impressed that they had Missha Line products in stock (so much hype around these! So many people crazily searching for where to buy!) They're Korean, but also have a Warehouse in LA for those lucky-ducks in the US who will get faster shipping. I received my package in three days via DHL with no dramas. They offer Paypal for peace of mind. And they included sachet samples, which makes me happy!
So check them out and use my special exclusive code for my readers (you guys!) for 10% off if you'd like =)
