Well hey, bumblebees... May Day! May Day! And that's a reason why I have time to post a review. Lately I've been busy but not really with my work, thus blogging seems like a difficult thing to do. However, I sneak some of my leisure time to write something because I like writing especially when it comes to beauty!
This... is a product that I've used since I came back from Seoul, bought it fresh from their road shop in Dongdaemun and I thought the name of the brand says it all; Too Cool For School. I fell in love completely with the warm reception. The sales girl couldn't talk in English yet tried her best to explain me about the special promo going on. I was so glad that she suggested it to me because it's such a great save!
I heard about this brand before because my friend told me their beauty blender is just one of the best she's ever tried, but back then Too Cool For School was closed down in Jakarta (which anyway they've recently reopen in Taman Anggrek Mall, with a different distributor though).

Too Cool For School Dinoplatz U.F.O Multibox.
Dem feels of a brand new puff.
Apparently cushion puff is just unusually soft and smooth.
BB foundation cushion is on the top.
It looks nasty, but should I care?
My bad, it was perfect when I first unboxed the packaging.
Swatches on my hand.
Gotta save this for my summer trip.
Description: Dinoplatz U.F.O Multibox is a wacky square type of package, in addition to the cushion BB foundation, there is a built-in pore balm, concealer, and makeup palette of lip & cheek. When you slide from under the case, it's as if an alien is coming down (the makeup palette). The BB foundation finish is shiny and able to adjust unevenness of the skin for us to achieve a smooth pottery skin.

Apparently cushion puff is just unusually soft and smooth.
You can tell now, I was unfamiliar with cushion type of makeup. I thought it wasn't hygienic so I hesitated to try but I WAS WRONG! This is just the greatest beauty invention yet! Whoever came up with this idea, I thank you for now I don't have to bring a tube of my BB or CC cream in my makeup pouch as I do my makeup at my office (sleeping time is precious when you work 8 hours a day y'all know). Moreover, touch-ups could be done as easy as 1 2 3.

I got mine shade #23 Janna, but those with fairer skin and cool tone can pick the #21 Pola because it's more pink in color. Nothing I dislike about their concept, it's so practical, compact, and everything works like a charm. They gave you mirror too inside and it's very usable.
Swatches on my hand.
Being so rich in SPF, it kinda give me a white cast though it's not in a moderate amount which is a great thing for SPF 50. The coverage is just awesome, especially the creamy concealer. For the lip & cheek, I can say it's great for subtle blush, but it's not recommended for lip as it's drying (or maybe just my poor lips). Pore balm is barely visible on my swatch, I don't actually use it too because big pores ain't my thing xP
Last but not least, this was the special promo that I told you before. The sales girl tried to explain me what would I get inside this box. I was so stupid too for thinking I'll get two multibox, not the refill one like this. Eventually I got what she meant, but I insisted to get the cushion puff separately, so then perhaps she told me (in Korean language that I don't even understand) that I'll get the puff inside the refill. I think I finally surrendered to her as she didn't give me the cushion puff by telling me "no need". HAHA. Yes, we'll get that cushion puff inside the refill, I double checked their website.
Gotta save this for my summer trip.
Overall I'm impressed with this product, it lives up to my expectation. Not a downside, but it's a bit pricey for the size (12g for only the BB foundation). I've used it up in two months, but I'm happy that packaging idea looks so cool, the shade suits my skin tone, and more importantly the formula doesn't break me out.
Price: KRW 38,000

I got this in a. Bntnews box a few months ago! I thought it was a great product, but not something I would use daily because it was too light for me. Otherwise it would be a great touch up product ^^
ReplyDeleteah I've been searching for this review >3< thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletePerfect item for travel. * \ ( ^ o ^ ) / * ♡
ReplyDeleteI love Too Cool For School! Not many people use their product though... I didn't know they already have a store in Jakarta~

Too Cool For School has recently gotten very popular! Their products are cool, but it's hard to get them online *sobs*
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review!!

I really liked the concept of the multibox, but I didn't like how the cushion felt and looked on my face. I loved everything else about it though!

Too Cool for School has got the coolest stuff, I love stopping by their shop to see what's new. great products with awesome names :)
ReplyDeleteThis is my everyday go to product. Yeah, the price is a bit high, but I have this thing that I call "treat yo'self" (like from the show Parks and Rec) where once a year I treat myself with something totally expensive that I wouldn't ordinarily buy. Now I'm hooked and have to keep buying it XD

Hi Mitch,
ReplyDeletewe have this brand here in KL too and I did blog about it when I first started blogging coz the brand name is super cool and I was attracted to the packaging of the products!
Love the fact that its so many things in one, so it's definitely most convenient when travel or like you said, for touch ups! I have yet to try my hands on a Korean cushion products, like you, for hygienic reasons, but perhaps that day will come, haha!
Lovely post.
Cheers,
Jeann
