Laneige BB Cushion [Pore Control]

Hello~

I'm gonna do a review on the Laneige BB Cushion [Pore Control] today!

I just shade 21 Natural Beige for reference.

I've been wanting to purchase this BB cushion for the longest time. I've always put it off because I really don't need it but I'm so happy I bought it eventually because it has become one of my favourite bases of all time.

It doesn't have good coverage and honestly it doesn't really cover much but it evens out my blotchy skin just fine. I cancels my redness as well. I really love using this when I go to school or work because it has SPF 50PA+++ and that is bomb because I don't need to use a sunblock underneath.

The application is also damn easy because the sponge puff that it comes with is amazing. I've never felt anything like it. It's like the beauty blender but smoother and softer. It's just amazing really.
It does apply a bit light(whitish) at first though but it warms up after 5-10 minutes.

This bb cushion also smells so good. Like really really good. If you ever have a chance please go to a counter and smell it. The smell kinda lingers if you're sensitive to scents. It's not anything offensive, it's just a faint smell.

I was a bit worried to try this honestly because although I love bb creams, they seem to clog my pores like crazy sigh. But this doesn't!! I don't know if it's cause its the pore control one so it's made for oily skins but this bb cushion doesn't clog my pores and that's a super plus point for me because I have huge pores and acne prone skin.

However, if you have dry skin I would not suggest using this. Maybe you can try the original version. On days when I feel like my skin is super dry and dehydrated, this product doesn't go on as smoothly as usual. But other than that, this product is really bomb.

Its also quite affordable comparing to the amount of money I've paid for foundations. It's like about 59 SGD if I'm not wrong and it comes with two cartridges which are 15g each. I have been using this for months now and I'm still using my first cartridge. The second cartridge comes with a puff as well just in case you were wondering :)

To wrap this post up, I would say that those who have been wanting to try it, please go for it! No ragrets!! hahahahah and to those who are looking for something oil controlling with good spf and a light base for everyday wear, please check this out :)

Hope this was helpful!

Lots of love,

UPDATE ON SUNKILLER

Hi girls~ I'm so sorry for this but I feel like I really should update you in case any one of you were thinking about buying the Sunkiller BB thing!

I think just like the garnier bb cream, this is breaking me out so I've stopped using it for a few days and I'm trying to monitor my skin. It was creating bumps on my face I'm not sure why :/ 

Will update again to confirm if it was this product or not!

Foundations foundations foundations

Gooooooooood morning!!

I couldn't decide what to post about ( contemplating between my 'everyday' make up routine or my skin care) so I guess I'll just talk about the foundations I own or have tried, if anyone even reads this hahaha

My first ever liquid foundation:

REVLON COLOURSTAY Combo/Oily Skin

Pros:

Good coverage

Lasts long

Doesn't get oily fast

Cons:

Super thick

Smell is super strong ( but I don't mind)

Packaging is damn burden ( I transferred mine into a muji pump bottle)

I've stop using this already because it's really super thick. I used to mix it with moisturizer and it was fine :)

Repurchase? Nope cause I've found better foundations :)

Chanel VitaLumiere Aqua

Pros:

Smells nice

Super light

Looks nice in pictures ;)

Cons:

Expensive

Gets oily ( maybe it's the weather in Singapore plus my combo skin)

Packaging makes it hard to tell how much you have left

HG FOUNDATION. I know I can always count on this foundation hahahaha love it

Repurchase? Yes

Chanel Perfection Lumiere

Pros:

Smells even nicer than the VitaLumiere

Looks AMAZING in pictures

Semi matte finish 

Cons:

Expensive

May cling to dry patches

SPF not high enough for day use so I still have to use sunblock underneath

I love this foundation. Didn't purchase the full size because I bought the VitaLumiere. I have samples of this and I really really love it. The samples have lasted me for super long also. Love the smell of this but the coverage is not super high but it looks natural. 

Repurchase/purchase full size? Considering purchasing the full size because I really really like it

Shiseido Sun Protection Liquid Foundation

Pros:

Super high SPF (SPF 43+++)

Water resistant + lasts long on the skin

Good coverage

Cons:

Relatively expensive

Smells a bit like sun block ( I kinda like the smell HAHA)

Favourite foundation at the moment although I haven't used it in awhile. The last time I used foundation was almost a week ago and I used the Perfection Lumiere. I love this foundation for day time because it covers my redness and the SPF is (Y). It doesn't make me oily until like 5/6 hours so it's a good wearing foundation! I love. 

Repurchase? YES. 

Garnier BB Cream ( Miracle Skin Perfector)

Pros:

Easy to blend

All in one

Very natural looking

Cons:

I think it breaks me out.. I think

It can get oily

I'm not a fan of BB creams to begin with but this BB cream is the only one I actually kept. I use it on days when my skin is super dry and I don't wanna stress it with foundation. This must be set with a powder though cause if not my skin will just get oily. Colour is good but I really think it breaks me out :(

Repurchase? Nope cause I feel like it clogs my skin

I hope this was useful to anyone who reads this! :)

If anyone wants me to do a post about something (e.g. my make up routine/ favourite this or that) just let me know! You can write it anonymously on my ask if you want :)
