if you're following launching new from korean brands, then you'll probably know that many brands come up with special edition a lot. either line edition or kakao or other characters. they are very cute.. i think it's first started with apieu with their doraemon line.. and then others come follow. so, since i wanted to buy another cushion (my innisfree one is finished awhile ago), i requested a special edition cushion for my birthday gift. and my sisters are giving me this missha one.
missha X line has two different cushions, the brown and the duck one, but the duck one is supposed for dry skin, so i chose the brown one. although i have tried their bb cream, but none of their cushion, so let's see.. it has niacinamide, adenosine, bamboo water, baobab fruit extract and witch hazel extract in it, so i think it should be good. this is the description from koreadepart.com: micro cover pigment gives skin blemish cover for silky skin, silica beeds powder absorbs sweat and sebum for long lasting bright makeup, bamboo water and baobab ingredient gives hydration for skin soothing effect.

the packaging: it comes in a brown box which has brown picture on it. the cushion itself also comes in brown color and has brown face on top. like other cushion, it has mirror inside, and a cushion puff that is separated from the cushion cell with a separator and then the cushion cell itself at the bottom. inside the box there's another refill and a spare cushion puff too. about the interchangeable ability, i have no idea if missha's can fit another cushion.
the scent: i don't think it's scented but some said it has faint scent. i'll sniff harder next time.
the color: missha only offer two colors, #21 and #23. since i've tried their bb cream and i think #21 is closest match to me, that's why i pick #21. and it's a match. oh, and i've read somewhere that this one promise none to minimal oxidation, and i have to agree. this one doesn't oxidize as badly as the usual bb cream.
the coverage: this one is definitely medium one. i have to dab very lightly if i want lighter coverage. but his one is nice, it won't cake if you layer a second one. it covers my redness and acne scars quite nicely, though if the scars is quite dark then i will need additional concealer to cover it.
the result: the result is slightly dewy. not as matte as innisfree one but not as dewy as my cc cream. it's quite hot these days and it holds well even though i only dust powder on my eyelids, nose and chin. i think it lasts around 4 hours without touching up.
overall, i'm super satisfied with this one. after trying it for the first time, i end up using it for couple days later and i like it. somehow it doesn't fade into too yellow or too grey for me. it's just perfect for now. i might buy this cushion again if i've finished the refill too. definitely recommend this one even for oily skin. if you don't like too dewy finish, then this one is definitely worth to try. ah.. now i regret about knowing this cushion a little bit late... i hope they will come out with another special edition for this cushion. oh, and if you're a bit late buying this cushion like me, don't get confused if you're only getting one refill since the newer version only will give you one refill instead of two (the earlier version gave two refills and an extra cushion puff).

How about the original white missha compact case? does that include an extra puff too along with the one refill? :)
