[REVIEW] Laneige BB Cushion Pore Control SPF 50+ PA+++

Hello everyone! I am finally back after my forever long hiatus. I have now finished high school and am in university on my way to studying my dream course law. It is great to be back and best news of all I have been testing and trying many new and different Korean products.

Today I am reviewing the infamous Laneige BB Cushion Pore Control SPF 50+ PA+++.

-----------

For reference:

My skin type: Combination & Acne-prone
Natural beige No.23 

a) Oily at the nose when wearing makeup

b) Large pores around the nose.

c) Can be dry: forehead and chin.

-----------

Claims and opinion:

1. Pore Control: Despite covering pores well, there isn't a difference in the skin and its pores from using the product. Rather than its claims to improve the pores, it doesn't do anything.

2. Semi-matt Finish: Laneige has a really nice semi-matte finish to their bb cushion but throughout the day, it can look oily without touch up if those wearing it have oily skin. However, touch ups are easy with the puff and it does not cake up.

3. Long Lasting: The tone and colour of the bb cushion stays true to its colour and doesn't oxidise throughout the day. It lasts about up to 5 to 6 hours and can go further with touch ups and powder.

4. UV Protection: The sun protection is great and acts as a double kill in makeup and sun protection.

5. Cooling Sensation: The cooling effect is definitely present when applied but other than cooling down the skin it doesn't last and goes away when the bb cushion merges with the skin.

6. Pore Coverage: There is pore coverage but it is not high. It will not be able to cover large pores but does a great job accomplishing a smooth finish to the skin.

_______________________________________

Laneige also has one of the best air puffs I've used. It distributes the product on your face evenly and ensures that it won't look cakey. Despite using other different bb cushions, I prefer to use Laneige's air puffs due to how nicely it applies on the product. It also claims to have a structure and made in a way where it can be anti-bacterial. 

This bb cushion has one of the most vast variety of skin tones for Korean bb cushions. This is really great for those with deeper skin tones who want to try out bb cushions.

Coverage: ★★★ Light to medium coverage.

Packaging: ★★★★ It looks really luxurious and pretty. It isn't too bulky or heavy either. You could bring this along in your handbag.

Price: ★★★ This is on the higher price range and is an investment for many. Especially for a student like me, this did cost a lot. But after getting the case, you can stick to buying refills. Refills are a lot more affordable.

Natural looking? ★★★★ Depending on how much you apply, it can look very natural like your own skin.

Worth the price? ★★★★ Yes, this is a great bb cushion and still remains to be one of the best if you have troubled skin or skin with lots of texture.

Highlight attribute: This cushion is one of my favourites out of all the ones I've tried out so far because of how soft and smooth the skin looks with it. It doesn't transfer as badly as other cushions.

Great for skin types: Combination, oily and acne prone. Basically, any skin type can use this except for dry skin types.

Would I repurchase it? Yes, I would definitely consider repurchasing this cushion.

[REVIEW] Holika Holika Jewel-light Waterproof Eyeliner #7 Carot Diamond #8 Pink Topas #9 18K Gold

Hi everyone! It's been a while since my last post related to beauty products. Don't worry, I have heaps of products in line that need to be reviewed.

Today I am going to be talking about the Holika Holika jewel-light waterproof eyeliner in the three colours specifically made for tear\bottom liners. Or if you follow a lot of korean trends, this accentuates and helps you achieve the aegyo-sal look. However, most people would just use this to highlight the inner corners to bring brightness into the eyes.

There is an entire set of different colours in the range ranging from blue to the simple black and browns.

This is also waterproof and extremely long lasting. I wear it everyday in the morning and it won't come off until you actually use your finger to rub against it. Removal is simple and easy as any normal makeup remover would work.

I choose these three colours specially as I would use them the most often. The carot diamond colour would suit formal events or for a night out. Pink Topas is more subtle so it can be used for everyday use, at work or just for the sweetheart look. Colour 18K Gold, is an extremely beautiful colour that I have used once to dress up as a hunter because it really compliments your eyes and gives you this really exquisite look.

These have no glitter fallout or anything at all and the material that illuminates the shimmer is so finely milled that it looks like a whole entire colour.

What was most shocking to me was how to use more when the tip was all used up. After using google, I was able to find that this eyeliner worked exactly like a pencil eyeliner. All you need is a pencil sharpener and you're good to go. I got this a few months ago and I am not even halfway through the eyeliners. And I use this everyday for school especially because I have tired eyes in the morning.

This is also very handy if you have limited eye shadows and want your look enhanced. Just draw circles on the tip of your finger and use it to tap onto the your eyelid to complete your look. This can also be used to highlight your brow bone to give you a more defined look that accentuates your brows and eye look.

Here are examples of some celebrities that have sported this look.

Hot fashion icon and youtuber, Jenn Im.

Nana (Im Jinah)

Supermodel,qualified makeup artist, critics rated as the second most beautiful face in the world 2014 and 1st beautiful face in the world 2015, fashion icon and member of AfterSchool and Orange

This is a excellent product worthy of  ★★★★★

Design: Very appealing and pretty. Is sturdy and is a step 

above a normal pencil.

Would continue to use and re purchase? Definitely, I already

 use this everyday. And this will be repurchased every time 

it runs out.

Recommended for: Any skin type and for any occasion 

suitable.
