Hey everyone!
I'm sorry I haven't posted anything since early April but now I'm back!
I don't know for how long but let's enjoy each other's company while I'm here.
Okay so last month I decided to buy the Laneige BB Cushion from my local Target.
Yes, TARGET SELLS LANEIGE!!!
So since I've had it for a little while now, I've decided it's time to write a review on it.
As always I'm not being paid to do this review.
I so ecstatic when I saw Laneige being sold at Target here in the US. I was so happy that I just had to tell my best friend about it. The day I saw the Laneige products at Target, I decided to buy something. No, it wasn't the BB Cushion just yet. The very first Laneige product I bought was the Water Bank Sleeping Pack. Then a couple weeks after, I decided to finally buy the BB Cushion. I've been using it ever since.
This is what comes inside the box:
It also comes with a Refill!
This BB cushion retail for $34 according to the Target website.
Target carries three shades; Light, Medium, and Dark. I got it in the shade medium.
BB Cushion is pretty much BB cream in a compact form while still being a liquid. How does this work? Inside there's 0.52 oz of product with a cushion holding it in place. To get the product out, simply take the special sponge applicator and push on the cushion.
I say special because the applicator isn't your normal every day makeup sponge you can buy at a drugstore. It's specially designed to not absorb as much product as a regular makeup sponge would. The applicator is very soft and easy to use. To apply the product, simply tap the applicator on the face and keep tapping and moving the applicator around until the product is fully blended.
Ratings:
- Color: 4 out of 5
- The color I got was Medium which is a bit too light for my skin but with a little bit of bronzer, it works well.
- Packaging: 5 out of 5
- The packaging is very light and sturdy. Very travel friendly. You could even pop out the cushion portion of the packaging if the compact as a whole seems too bulky for you to bring on your travels.
- Concept: 3 out of 5
- Although I love the packaging, it being light and travel friendly, the concept has it's cons. The huge pro about this concept is that you don't have to bring a tube of BB cream with you when you travel and this compact makes it very easy for someone to bring along in case they need to touch up their makeup. But the con to this is that it's kind of hard to tell how much product is left in the cushion.
- Scent: 4 out of 5
- This product does have a light scent to it that goes away after a while. But if you're one of those people who either don't like having scents in their face products or are sensitive to scents, I don't recommend this to you.
- Texture and coverage: 4 out of 5
- When applied to the skin, the product is very light weight. But once its on the skin, you have to let it set for a couple of minutes other wise it feels a little tacky. The coverage is fine for me since I don't have as much breakouts as much as I did before. It covers up redness and evens out my skin tone.
Overall I like this product a lot especially since I use it as part of my school makeup. It's very easy to use and the application doesn't take that long. Highly recommend to those who are always in a rush. I don't really recommend to those who have oily skin like I do because unless you have a good setting powder, you will look very oily at the end of the day. I forgot to switch foundations once before going to work and when I got off work at 9:30pm, I was so oily it was disgusting. But using it for school, which is only about three hours for me, it does very well on staying on my face.
I have also posted "A Look At: Laneige BB Cushion" video on my YouTube Channel. It shows how to apply this BB Cushion and how it looks on my skin.
