Lucky Holiday

Merry Christmas, dear bumblebees! Perhaps if you haven't heard, I'm currently holding a mini giveaway. Go click the link because the deadline is only a couple of days away :P So now the festive season is here, you know I can't help but getting myself a treat of limited edition thingy such as this BB cushion from Laneige. It's my second BB cushion after purchasing Too Cool For School Dinoplatz U.F.O Multibox that was actually a spontaneous buying because back than I should've bought their Sparkling Party edition. Anyway, I'm finally trying this out!

Laneige BB Cushion Lucky Holiday Edition review
Laneige BB Cushion Lucky Holiday Edition.

Description: A new concept cushion-type BB with five active ingredients for whitening + sunscreen + sweat-proof + soothing + makeup contained in the cushion to maximize the refreshing and soothing sensation.

Laneige BB Cushion Lucky Holiday description
As expected from Laneige, sleek design on the outside yet informative in the inside.

I bought the #21 in natural beige, I noticed there is another #21 shade called pink beige and though I have neutral undertone, I just don't want to risk it. Yup.. Talking about playing on the safe side. Then, moving on to the packaging, I like this year's holiday collection compared to their PLAYNOMORE or pushBUTTON collaboration. The design is not as simple as Sparkling Party nor the original. It has clubs pattern in red and transparent with accent of gold that adds classy impression I suppose. The mirror inside is very useful too, especially when my touchup time reaching.

Laneige BB Cushion Lucky Holiday review
Excellent theme for year-end holiday.

Based on the leaflet, the puff that comes altogether with the BB cushion is designed to deliver refreshing cooling sensation as it absorbs moisture less than ordinary puff. Usually I press down the cushion two times to get the desirable amount, application is quick because it blends right away as I repeatedly pat the puff on my face. Although I might have to disagree with the statement it has cooling sensation.

The swatch on my skin.

This BB cushion somehow has similar scent to Tony Moly BCDation that makes me wonder, do they belong in the same parent company? Apparently Tony Moly isn't under AmorePacific corporation. The scent has a hint of floral and powder, but nothing too exaggerated.

I'm glad I picked this shade as it compliments my skin tone once it oxidizes. True that it leaves white cast because of its SPF 50 PA+++, but I'll be neutral here because on the other hand, I need high SPF in my life. If it's going to be a picture day, I'd rather grab my Bourjois foundation. It has dewy finish and one notable thing is it might be leaving sticky feeling, but putting on translucent powder will do the trick. Coverage wise, it can cover some spots, therefore evens out my skin tone. I like how it brighten my complexion, plus it's also sweat-proof! I once tested it during my gym session which included 30 minutes treadmill and cycling, and all I could see my complexion was still fab. LOL.

Frankly speaking, the only downside of having a cushion is that I need to invest either time or money on the puff. If you think washing a beauty blender is a pain in the neck, wait until you meet a cushion puff like this ;)

Price: KRW 37,000

  2. I don't think I've read such an analytical review before, Mitch, and I'm absolutely loving it. I've always wanted to try a BB cushion but never quite bit the bullet and got myself one because...well, because procrastination, haha. It sounds fantastic though the whitecast is a bit of a turn off.

  7. The packaging is pretty~ It somehow reminds me a little of alice in wonderland? XD
    I've tried a laneige bb cushion before, but it didn't quite suit my skin...it looked a little..i guess you could say caked?
    I think their bb cushions have a little of a powdery texture. BUT the SPF 50+ makes me so happy >< hahah (I need sun protection!!! :D)

    1. Ah, in my opinion, quite contrary though. I like how natural this looks on my skin, it may smell like powder but it spreads nicely thanks to the cushion puff. Btw, yes the packaging reminds me of Alice in Wonderland too and I seriously can't get over how chic it is.

  16. Totally agree on that note of how washing this puffs for BB Cushion is such a hassle to go through. Which is why I'm so thankful when I found the way to wash it quite easily. As I prefer simple and easy design, I totally adore my Sparkling Party case compared to my other cases from the brand.
    You should definitely try the Pore Control version though I have to warn you that compared to the original version, Pore Control oxidizes only slightly as there's lesser oil content in it.
    Enjoy your weekend!

    1. Please please, let me know how do you clean the cushion puff! I'm also thinking to purchase the Pore Cover refills, but it's difficult to buy the refills here. So far I haven't found a local online store that only sells refills.

  17. The packaging is too cute!
    I have the normal plain one and yes, gotta agree with you with the refills and puffs haha :D

    Lovely post as usual!
