Maybelline Super BB Cushion

Hello everyone!

Do you know that lately people are obsessed with makeup that gives you such a dewy and healthy-looking skin? If we take a look at 2015-2016, do you have any idea what is really happening in the makeup market? Yes, it is Highlighter & BB Cushion.

What is BB Cushion?

BB Cushion is actually kind of like BB Cream that is put into a container along with other ingredients in it. Inside the container, you have a sponge that has the bb cream inside it. I’m not sure where is this come from or created, but the thing that I know is that BB Cushion is originated from Korea (or at least I saw Korean using it for really long time) before other western brand like Maybelline, L’Oreal, and many other brand decided to create it too.

So, today we are talking about Maybelline Super BB Cushion!

This product claims:

·         SPF 29/ PA+++

·         High coverage and yet still moisturizing

·         It contains correcting minerals and moisturizing essence

·         Flawless-perfect skin look is just a tap-tap away

(Sorry if there is one or two misspelled word or typo, I wrote it myself, lol *cry*)

Actually when I first bought it, I never heard any news or any makeup review about this. I was in the mall and I looked for a nice foundation because it has been a long time since I bought one. Then, I saw this beautiful packaging sit nicely in the display. At first, I was unsure to buy that since it is not that cheap, but I decided to give it a try since I read Glycerin is on the ingredient. Basically, Glycerin is something that will give your skin such a hydrated look and moist feeling. It will stick into your face and it will last long on your face. If I have to say one of the famous brands that have Glycerin in it is Nivea After Shave Balm. If you all familiar with it, it was booming because one of Beauty Guru, NikkieTutorial used it. It has Glycerin in it that makes your face look dewy and it will stick into your face like glue.

Anyway, back to topic, my skin is combination type. It is dry around my mouth and cheeks but it is oily around my T-Zone. I decided to buy it because I have been curious with BB Cushion.  When I opened it up, I was amazed by the beautiful packaging.

It has the silver packaging with the white under it. I don’t know, it looks really elegant, isn’t it? When I opened it up, I just cannot say anything hahaha. It is beautiful!

I don’t know why lol maybe I have some of mental obsession to the makeup. I just amazed on the beauty of their packaging, their product inside, I don’t know, don’t ask me about it. It.is.just.stunning!

Anyway, I got shade number 2 which is Light. I guess it only has 2 shades which are Light and Natural. 

After a little war with myself because I don’t want to ruin the beautiful packaging, I decided to use it. When I first applied it, I was amazed on their high coverage! Well, maybe it’s not like super high coverage but it hides my dark circle and blemishes super well. I like the feeling of putting it in using the sponge that they gives because it just soft and glides smoothly.

This is my face before use any of the BB Cushion. You can see I have lots of redness going on in my cheeks.

It is the result after using it. Yes, you can still see some redness in my cheeks but it covers pretty well. The dark circle under my eyes covered pretty well too, I must say that this Bb Cushion covers my under eye better than my concealer. 

I’m not sure you can see it or not, but the finishing of this cushion is really dewy. You can see your face is glowing and looking healthy. For super dry skin people, or someone who like dewy finish, you can just go with it without setting it with powder, it will be wonderful! But if you are someone like me, who doesn’t like feeling oily and sticky, then you can set it with powder. I can say that both are working beautiful and amazing too. I can say that this product is good for both of the skin type.

Then, this is my face after powder, bronzer, blush, and highlighter and all of that stuff. I can say that I am really impressed and happy with this product. It is a bit pricey (at least for me) but this works beautiful and nice!

Application:

Inside the Cushion you will get a sponge kind of powder sponge inside it. At first I thought I would not like it because it looks like ordinary powder sponge. But it is not! It works really great and it can give you what the product should do. It gives you high coverage with the dewy finish. I tried to use brush to apply it, but it does not give you such a coverage that this product can gives you. I tried to use Beauty Blender/Beauty Sponge, but still, it works better than the brush but the sponge that comes in packaging can gives you the best result of all. It is my first time to love a sponge that comes in the packaging. This sponge is magic!

Evian Facial Spray Review

Hi angels,

Summer is finally here and we need a lot of products to keep our skin hydrated right? Summer in Indonesia is really crazy and hot plus with the traffic jam everywhere, hectic life, and lots of things make me really want to disappear from the world a bit. But, we can’t do that right? So, let’s just face it!

Talking about summer, in Indonesia, the highest that it can get mostly 33-34 Celsius. I heard that it can get crazier in other country. Some people said it can get until 40 Celsius. I have a friend from Netherlands, he said that he can bear the heat rather than the cold. I said the opposite from him, I can bear the cold but not the heat. It’s because my country does not have winter season while in his country does. I guess human never can be satisfied hahaha.

If the weather gets really hot, I bet all people will feel uncomfortable. I cannot live without air conditioner and I cannot bear the heat. Every time I went outside when it gets super-hot, my face will turn red and obviously it’s not cute at all. So, I will talk about a product that can help your face calm a bit after getting on the sun too much.

“Evian Natural Mineral Water”

Used daily all year around, Evian Facial Spray hydrates your skin, helps fix your make-up, freshens and purifies.

Direction:

Spray Evian Facial Spray on skin several times a day. Leave for a few minutes then gently dab.

This spray is everything. Actually, I feel that this spray it’s just like a water without any ingredients in it but that what makes it great! Just imagine whenever you feel your face burning or hot then you can simply spray it and it can make you feel fresh again, just like you wash your face in the morning!

The other thing that I can do with it is when my face feels oily. Whenever I feel my face becomes oily and greasy, I spray this into my face and just let it sit for a few minutes. Then, it will clear away all your oil and the greasy feeling and leaving your face feeling moist.

This product can be used before and after makeup but actually I rarely use it for that purpose. It’s because this spray makes your face really wet and I feel that it can make your makeup transfers everywhere. But a lot of people use it to set their makeup, so the only advice I can give is to spray it in a good amount (not too much) and do not dab it with tissue or anything when it is still wet. Just let it sit and absorbs to your skin by itself.

Because it feels just like water and nothing in it (my own thinking of course), it does not give you kind of moisturizer or skin product in it. It just makes your skin feel hydrated and nice. Evian itself is famous for the mineral water line, so, don’t doubt the quality of their water!

Application:

Hold the bottle a bit far away from your face and spray it in a good amount just as your desire. The spray in this is bottle is the best of all. When it sprayed into your face, it feels like it cover your face with a gentle spray. I know, you probably thinking, what are you trying to say? I can’t find a word for it! Just try it yourself and feel the happiness :p

Details:

Size     : 300 ml

Rate     : 10/10

It will never hurt to have one and put it in your bag! Just spray it every time it gets hot and you will get a nice feeling without even need to wash yourself up! ;)

Until next time,

Xoxo,

Jess.
