Ingredients list:
Cough. So I finally bought my first cushion BB. This is the third order I made to finally get my hands on one. Heh heh. The previous two are either out of stock or the seller disappeared! (I did get back my money though)
Holika Holika is a pretty girl brand I think. At least to me
their packaging looks very girly and bling. It is produced by Enprani Korea,
and previously had CNBLUE and SISTAR as their models. Their current model is
Park Shin Hye.
So after I bought this cushion I did some research (yes,
sometimes the process also works backwards) and found A LOT of reviews on
Naver. I did worry because the swatches look way too fair to suit my skintone
so I was on my toes waiting for my shipment to arrive....!
It did arrive after a week of placing my order. The cushion
looks pretty much like a bulkier compact powder, but feels very light. The
compact feels sturdy too but I wouldn't recommend dropping it though. The cover
is shiny plastic in black which makes it a huge fingerprint magnet.
The puff is just nice to hold. It is called a rubycell puff
and it has a really smooth, soft surface. It smelllssss good too. Hahahah!
The compact can be opened to about 120 deg. and it has a
mirror which is perfect for touching up. The cushion design is nothing much to
shout about, a protective cap to place your puff and underneath it is the
cushion sealed with a sticker.

Now on to the swatch! The bb cream is quite thick. Not
blending-friendly if you use your fingers. Reading reviews of other bb cushions
made me expect the bb cream to be less viscous. It is pinkish-beige and goes on
dewy on my face and feels sticky.

Now hold your horses! thankfully it settles into a powdery,
satin finish. It doesn't feel sticky after settling. It oxidises pretty quickly to
match my skintone and doesn't feel really heavy on my face. It doesn't settle
into fine lines.
I didn't feel extra oily after 6 hours. Only minimal oiling
on my nose.
I use this everyday before going to work. It saves time, doesn't make me feel itchy or yucky. I love it. Now I just need to get myself a replacement puff! :)

Packaging: 4/5 Hassle-free & lightweight. Looks sleek
too.
Smell: 3.8/5 Floral. Smells like some shower gel. Nice and
refreshing.
Texture: 3/5 Too thick for my liking
Finish: 3.8/5 Goes on dewy but dries semi matte. Looks very
natural after a while
Cover: 4/5 Quite good
Staying power: 3/5 I'm not really sure about this. I had it
on for 6 hours and there's some of it left on my face but I just don't see it?
It looks like I'm not wearing any makeup after 6 hours. I think the staying power is 3-4 hours without using primer underneath
Overall: 3.7/5 Not bad. I didn't expect a lot because Holika
Holika's BB cushion wasn't very popular like IOPE's Air Cushion. I quite like it. The only concern I have is the hygiene of the puff? I think this suits most skin types but not
recommended for extremely oily skin.
