Before I started I wanna tell you guys what actually BB cushion is. Because maybe some of you ever heard about this product, but you just don’t really know how does it worked

BB cushion is originated from South Korea and now become a huge trend in Asia and also the other countries in Europe. Brands like Laneige, Sulwhasoo, and Etude House are some of the examples of the earliest beauty products that come out with BB cushion. Even now, the Europe and US brands seems to started following the trends by producing their own BB Cushion like Maybelline and L'Oreal Paris.

How does the BB Cushion work? It’s not much different than normal liquid foundation/BB cream. It just come out in compact shape and stored in sponge form; which make it easier for us to bring along or put it in the bag.

Now, let’s start to the main character!

This is how does it looked when I first bought it from Watsons. Sorry I can’t really recall, but I think the price is about RM50++ something. It’s quite cheaper than the Korean BB cushion

This is how it looks inside. Tbh I really love the looks of the packaging. It’s simple yet elegant

Tadahh~ You can see the mirror and the cute white puff inside. I’m so excited when I first opened this haha

That’s the actual product. I bought the natural shade (there’s only two shades available; Ivory & Natural). Fyi, all the BB cushion products can be opened like in the picture (right). Means they can always being replaced with the refill. So you don’t have to buy the entire products when you want to re-purchase; just buy the refill one

p/s: This Maybelline BB cushion doesn’t come out with refill. I’m not sure if there is any, because I cannot find the refill like the L'Oreal Bb cushion

I pressed in my finger into the sponge to let you see clearly how the product looks like. On the right pic is the condition of the product after pressed by using the puff

This is how it looked on my face before and after I applying the BB cushion from Maybelline. To be honest it's too light for my skin

The looked after I finished my makeup by applying some eyeliner and lipstick. (I didn’t even applied any powder or concealer)

The PROs and CONs

The good things are:

1. The price is very affordable compare to other brands

2. The design of the packaging is very pretty

3. The product doesn’t make my skin too oily or too dry; suitable for all skin types

4. Suitable for daily use and for someone who prefers light makeup

5. Long lasting. I wear it in the morning, and it still look quite okay after a few hours

The bad things are:

1. It only comes in two shades (I bought the natural one, but I’m still feels like it too light on my skin)

2. It doesn’t come together with refill

3. It is not full-coverage, which you still need to apply concealer to cover the spot, scars or dark circle under the eyes

4. The volume/quantity of the product is not that much. Means, I just applied it not more than 10 times and it already about to run out

5. It will cause creasing; especially around the nose and the under eyes area. So you still need powder to set it up

Overall I'm gonna give this Myabelline BB Cushion 3/5
