skinfood pore fit cushion bottle

pic from ebay

the packaging: well, i have to to admit this is quite new to me. it's in a can bottle with a part that can be turned to chance the switch from off to on, and another flip top cap to show the compartment where there's a hole to spray the product out and where the cushion puff is stored. since the product has to be sprayed, there's no separate place from the cushion unlike any other cushion. there's also a small mirror inside the cap. cute. oh and the cushion puff is slightly smaller than regular cushion puff. and they give additional cushion puff too. but i do hope they make slimmer can so it will fit any storage easier, and it's not travel friendly too, being in an aerosol can.

the scent: i have to mention this since if you don't like strong-scented product, then stay away from this cushion. the smell is just like a hair spray. and it's sooooo strrrooonnngg... and the scent stuck on the cushion puff as well so the application is quite annoying.

the color payoff: for those who has darker skin tone, the color offer from skinfood is disappointing as always with most korean cushion/foundation product, since there are only two options, light skin and natural skin. mine is no.1, but one blogger said that no.1 is for pink undertones, while no.2 is for yellow undertones. and mostly review that i read, they usually use the no.2 one. so i don't know.. i think unless you're very very pale, probably you might want to try no.2. but for me, somehow no.1 works. and i don't notice oxidation, so i guess this one is a good option from the usual bb cream.

the formula: this one is supposed to control sebum and oil on your face, but let's face it, korean products never really produce matte finish and it's the same with this cushion bottle. it gives semi-matte finish. so, unless the weather is extra hot, it will give slightly dewy finish and will melt for about 4-5 hours or so. on oily skin perhaps will melt quicker. the cooling effect? it's cooler than innisfree sun spray. but let's say the coolest part is not my face but my cushion puff. but it's cooling alright. every time i puff it on my face i can feel the cooling sensation. but don't hope for long sensation. it will vanish within minutes.

the coverage: some blogger said that this one has medium coverage, and i have to agree it is, but make sure to puff enough on your cushion puff. it will cover redness and light spots, but probably won't cover acne scars. since my skin isn't behaving when i tried this cushion bottle, i can't say how good it is to cover my scars (update: it doesn't help covering acne scars, you have to use separate concealer). but i remember i have to puff 3-4 times before i get nice coverage. 1-2 puffs won't give any coverage at all. but remember not to ditch your concealer just yet.

so, aside from the fact that i can't bring it to air-travel with me and the strong scent, i have to say i'm quite happy with this one. although i still haven't get used to the cooling sensation. it's cold, not cool for me. i bet my pores will be shrinking under its touch. if you like new things to try, try it. but perhaps it's not for darker skin babes. will i repurchase this? i probably won't since many brands are releasing special edition cushion. i want to grab one of them, aren't you? they are cute... i truly blame those korean brands... they always know how to make me want to spend my money...
