Maybelline Dream Cushion

So today's cushion is not a Korean or Asian cuhiom... its Maybelline! I wanted to try out this one and see how it compares to my normal Korean ones. I have previously tried the L'oreal Lumi cushion, but couldn't find a decent match. that, and the product dried up very fast, almost like the case doesn't create a seal. Safe to say, I felt like the Lumi was a waste of money.

The case isn't exacrly cute or eye-catching, just a basic round case with the name if the product and shade on the front.



Inside there the typical air puff, mirror, and underneath is the makeup. This cushion is heavily saturated, so I feel like it needs to be applied with a light hand so you don't go overboard.


This has s satin matte finish and can be worn for almost a full 8 hours standalone. I'm actually quite impressed with this cushion. The major drawback for me is the fact that there is no SPF in this product, and I'm not a fan of the packaging. It looks kind of bland and cheap. I wish they had made something better looking.

Shade wise, this product matched extremely well. I normally wear 21 in Korean cushions, and I bought the lightest color, porcelain. It has a very natural finish.

This is something that I would surprisingly repurchase, because I do like the match, finish, price point, and availability of the cushion. It won't stop me from seeking out other cushions, but is definitely a product that I feel I can turn back to.

Hope Girl Magic Skin Primer

Today's review will be on the Magic Skin Primer by Hope Girl! It comes in a pink and white no-mess pump bottle. It's packaged in a simple white box with metallic lettering and leopard print, which is not pictured in this post because I tossed it accidentally. This is pink-toned primer meant to brighten the complexion and provide a smooth foundation for your make up. It has a light rosy-soapy scent but I don't think it's too overpowering and fades. The finish is slightly tacky, which I don't mind. I think that helps to really hold your makeup in place. It adds about another 4 hours of wear to my makeup, and seems to have a slight amount of oil control. I like the airless pump system and that the button to squirt out product is set flush with the cap. This makes it more difficult to accidentally have it spill in your makeup bag. This is lovely primer and I see why it's so popular within the k-beauty community. I still love my Pony Effect primer more, bu...

Pony Effect Mega Curling Mascara

Today's review will be on the mascara by Pony Effect, the Mega Curling Mascara! This massacre comes in a beautiful rose gold tube with the pony effect logo on the side. It's very reflective and looks wonderful sitting on your make up table.  At first I was somewhat concerned by the small brush, but wow. This is really separates the lashes and distributes an even coat with no clumps. It's also small enough that I can actually use this on my bottom lashes without looking like I had little spider legs hanging below my eyes. This stuff also does NOT come off without work. I double cleanse and some days I still need to use an eye makeup remover to get this stuff off. It actually hangs on throughout my long 12-13 hour shifts, which is great. I don't feel that it has any sort of curling effect. It just adds a nice amount of thickness and length to lashes without looking overdone. Overall I would consider buying this again, but mostly for the small brush which I...

Klairs Mochi BB Cushion

Todays review will be on a BB cushion by Klairs, the Mochi BB Cushion! Taken from Wishtrend This is a cute little cushion that comes in a round white package with a little face on the outside. Inside you have a mirror that is a little smaller than what is in most cushions, but still big enough to work with. The included puff has a little face on top. A unique feature of this cushion is the closure between the puff and the actual product - instead of simply popping up, you have to twist it to unlock. I think this is a really cool feature to combat against the product drying out. The product inside only comes in one shade - an apricot shade that is intended to compliment "all skin tones" as so it advertises. However, if you are very fair or tan/darker I do not see this cushion working for you. I normally wear no. 21 in korean foundations, and this is a little darker than that but works well with my skin tone. Scent wise, it has a very light almost herbal sc...
