rabbit habit moon glow in #1 ecru/porcelain

i really need to check my wishlist so i won't go astray with my purchase. anyway, i love my somethinc cushion, but i still have to bring separate concealer with me and right now my concealer is way to bright for my skin. i tried to test somethinc concealer but the testers available at watson near my house doesn't have the shade that i want to try. i'm a bit hesitant to blind buy again though i was quite lucky with perle for both cushion. then i remembered about rabbit habbit, but the shade selection is very limited. i tried to find reviewer that has the closest skin tone with me but to no avail. i almost gave up when i saw michimomo once reviewed it and she could use the lightest shade, so i'm going to blind buy once again, hoping that it will suit me. cross my finger.

description at the back and shade name on top
this is the description from their website: 2-in-1 cushion foundation and luminous concealer compact. a lightweight, medium-full coverage, anti-aging cushion foundation with a beauty-enhancing, skin-calming and youth boosting concealer all in one effortless compact. 
the compact
puff and mirror
the packaging: it comes in a greyish/lilac combination box with description at the back and the shade name on top of the box. they use white font which is not easy to read. maybe they should change to black so it's easier to read. the box is quite bulky because the compact itself is bulky. the cushion comes in light pink plastic compact that's bulkier than the usual cushion compacts because this is a 2-in-1 product. the color of the compact is really pretty and it uses magnetic closure so it's safer. i think the closure will last longer if they use magnetic closure. inside, there's a mirror and on top compartment, there's a puff. you can lift the top compartment to reveal the concealer pan on the second compartment. then underneath, there's the usual cushion, covered with a sticker at first. you can read the shade name at the back of the compact. the cushion comes in 15 g while the concealer is 7 g.

the shade: the downside of a small brand is, they don't offer many shades. there are only 5 shades to choose from. i'm pretty sure it won't cater everyone, but luckily the lightest shade still works for me. they named the cushion and the concealer separately, for mine, ecru is the cushion while porcelain is the concealer. for the concealer, it looks similar to my skintone when i swatched it on my hand. but for the cushion, it's slightly a bit darker than my somethinc perle cushion. but i can still make it work. the tone is different as well. ecru is even more pink on my hand.

the product: the concealer feels emollient on my touch. it's hard to pick up the product with the sponge. i have to swirl my finger several times to get the decent amount of product and tap it on troubled areas on my face. the concealer is the glowy type that's a bit moisturizing. i think it'll be okay for acne or under eyes areas as they won't accentuate dry patches. however, it's more brightening than covering. it couldn't cover acne properly, but it helps reduce redness around acnes. as for the cushion, i honestly don't know what to expect. i only make sure that the shade could work on me without knowing anything else. anyway, the cushion has medium to full coverage. even one puff is enough for my whole face and my skin looks flawless. i'm not used to that much coverage, so i lessen the pressure and only use maybe half puff for daily.

the result: the shade is not on the spot matching my skintone, but it still works okay. it gives glowy finish but as usual, nothing that powder can't fix. however, it settles around dry skin so make sure to moisturize your skin well. since the concealer is not high coverage, somehow it doesn't help much if i use it on top of the cushion. i still play with how i can work around with the concealer, but it's a bit disappointing that it doesn't deliver like the cushion.

but doesn't completely cover my acne scars)
i have to say that i'm impressed with the packaging and i love the cushion as well. i'm impressed with the coverage and i don't mind the glowy finish. but it's a bit let down that the concealer doesn't deliver. i wish it gives more coverage than the current coverage. price wise, it might look expensive but it's a 2-in-1 product, so naturally it will cost more than usual cushion. personally i won't mind with the cushion, but i guess i won't repurchase since the whole purpose of buying the product is the added concealer, but it doesn't deliver. so i guess if they doesn't change the coverage, maybe i'll just stick to regular cushion and buy a separate concealer.
