The Face Shop Natural Sun AQ Smart Cushion

By Beautifulbuns

Besides my love for rubbing (eye) balls, I also like to poke stuff. I’m pretty sure I must have some additional y gene in my body – not a Y cos then I’d be full-on man, but a small y.. somewhere…

Besides poking and bursting bubble wrap, I like to use my fingers to prod men’s biceps too. Don’t ask me why – I just find it fun, and a very good gauge of how (un)fit the dude is. heh.

The moment I received this product, what was the first thing I did? You guessed it – prodddddddddd and pokeeeeeee away.

Ok fine, technically the first thing I did was to open the box.

The Face Shop Natural Sun AQ Smart Cushion SPF50+ PA+++

Look at deeeees. There is no way you can’t not prod it.

The strange thing with all BB cushions.. the initial swatches on my hands never ever match my skin colour…

… yet after blending it, it vanishes. woahhhh.

Voila! Magic BB Cushion makes my shit skin look better

I say…

I actually love this product.

  • The packaging is simple and idiot-proof – just open, use the sponge, pick up some product and apply.  Just make sure to cap it tightly to ensure that the product doesn’t evaporate.
  • This product basically works on the same theory as your post office water sponge for stamps – the sponge is soaked with BB essence. It’s also the same as Laneige’s Snow BB Soothing Cushion, Hera’s UV Mist Cushion and IOPE’s Air Cushion Sunblock Cover-EX.
  • There’s a mild fragrance to it – unoffensive and not overpowering.
  • The coverage – well, as you can see, the coverage is pretty decent. It’s not the kind you’d wear for a night out as a drag queen though, cos it’s quite lightweight, but it’s totally perfect for daytime wear since it doesn’t feel that heavy and has super damn bloody high SPF of 50+ PA+++.
  • It even manages to cover some of my dark eye circles, so here’s a grudging nod of approval -nod-.
  • It leaves a slight cooling sensation – not sure if it’s cos of the cooling technology, or because in general, watery liquids feel cooler once you apply it onto your skin.
  • It is quickly absorbed and has a slight dewy finish that’s typical of Korean foundations/BBs. However, it dries into a slightlyyyyy powdery matte finish.
  • It doesn’t last very long though, cos it’s so lightweight. After about 6 hours, it had more or less oxidised or vanished. It might be cos of my shit-oil-face though, so if you’ve got a less Dubai-worthy skin and have tried it, lemme know

Overall, I’d recommend that you try this out. I love this easy-to-use types of packaging, and it’s great for touching up on the go. Geddittttt.
