Heard a lot of raves on the BB cushion and i so wanted to try it out! As u know i m not sponsored by Laneige ( =( ) so here is my very sincere and truthful feedback!
WHat is new concept cushion type BB??
A new concept cushion-type BB with 5 active ingredients for whitening + sunscreen + sweat proof + soothing + makeup contained in the cushion to maximise the refreshing and soothing sensation. everytime you touch it, the air pump in the cushion contains air bubbles for thin and skin friendly makeup. also it provided in two separate containers to preserve the active ingredients n their functionality. the formulas can be used fresh and safely from start to finish
Cushiony soothing cushion puff
the special puff designed to feel the refreshing soothing sensation absorbs moisture less than ordinary puff to deliver the refreshing sensation of moisture to the face and stay clean and sanitary. the formulas apply smoothly without irritation and even a small amount can spread to cover a large area
4 main points!
1. bright and clear whitening + sunscreen + strong sunscreen effect
contains white plus renew complex TM, the major ingredient of Laneige white plus renew, for brigt and clear skin. moreover, its SPF50 _ PA +++ formula blocks UV rays even under strong sunlight
2. long lasting makeup
high molecules strong against sweat and sebum form a network to form an elastic barrier on the surface of makeup to hold makeup and UV screen for a long time. also highly elastic cushion powder holds up the makeup barrier than can be easily be collapsed by sweat and sebum for long lasting makeup even with one layer
3. refreshing and cooling sensation
keep the puff clean all the time and gently massage it in lukewarm water with neutral detergent or puff cleanser to wash it. rinse thoroughly until the detergent is washed away, release all moisture and dry completely in a shadowy place.
4. natural and clean skin tone
the spherical powder with similar refraction rate as the skin controls oil adsorption and light diffusion to prevent excess shine and creates a natural and clean skin tone with medium coverage.
My feedback
Other than Laneige, you can also find BB cushion from The Faceshop too! i tried their BB Cushion but i dot like their texture as it is very sticky and i dont like the feeling. While Laneige is more watery, light and when it is applied, you feel the smoothing feeling on your face! the coverage is also very good.
Let me show you an example :
before application
after
as you can see, the dark scare is lighter and my skin appears to be brighter than before. here is another example. my pores are "filled" and no longer showing big pores!
with its SPF 50+ PA ++, it can also serve me as a sunblock that i can use before i go out!
it also comes in 4 different colour
13. true beige, 21 natural beige, 23 sand beige and 31 brown beige. for me, i am using natural beige and it gives me the natural look. i can just put some loose powder + blusher, eyeliner, mascara , lip stick and i look perfect!!
so here u go! the final product! natural and non greasy feeling! i love it! Thanks LANEIGE for the wonderful creation!
Laneige Snow BB Soothing Cushion is selling at 59 bucks with 1 refilled box. so for price of 59, u get 3 bb soothing cushion!! in the original box, already has 1 refill + 1 container (with refill) !!

Frankly speaking, I am not a fashion person who will paint colors that are in trend on my face. i usually use colours that suits me and i prefer to be Me than a fashion chaser. =P
so yes, on the other hand, u can call me boring who doesnt dare to try out new and different colors. in fact i did a few times but i ended up like weird opera singer lol.
ok. this time round i m going to introduce a blusher and lipsticks colors for u. the colors are very sweet looking and it will definitely suits any ages!
i m crazy over cream based / liquid based blusher as i feel that they are more lasting that powder one. previously i m using the cream based blusher from Kose and i love it so much that i keep using it. i also did try out a few brands like Chanel ( atas one), faceshop, shu uemura , skin food and finally i found the liquid based blusher from etude house. it is call watercolor blusher. i m using color no. 2 coral. it is a little pinkish n orange base. the blusher is very watery and u just need to put alittle on your cheeks n blend it using your fingers. the blusher last me at least 8 hrs before any touch up ( if i go out at night, i just put a little more to make it look fresh).
the texture is very smooth after application and you wont feel sticky at all. it looks very natural on my cheeks too. oh, dont be greedy and put alot cos you wont want to look like the baboon's ass. lol
next to my latest purchase will be the 2 lipsticks from etude house. i dont really put on lipstick cos i prefer to use lip gloss. recently i m thinking i should do something for a change and so i started putting lipstick again haha
on the left : or204. this color is coral colour. slightly more towards pink.
on the right : or 2A, this color on the other hand is more orange.
ok, i love these 2 colors mainly because it looks like the lips on the dolls that u see in the shopping mall lor. very sweet n natural.
i love the 2 colors and they look great! with a layer of lip gloss, u look exactly like baby dolls!
so ending the post with the picture of me.
eye shadow : brigitte as-1
lipstick : etude or 2a
blusher : etude water color no. 2
makeup base : etude baby choux base peach
foundation : chanel le blanc beige rose
mascara : etude volume + a coat of dior show
eyeliner : etude house brown
eyebrow : eye brown palette from faceshop
botton eyeliner : brown color from shu uemura
next, i heard alot of raves on laneige's CC base. going to get one and give review soon! stay tune! | | |

Day 2 is slightly packed for us as we need to select + alter our gown / suits, discussion with the makeup artiste and the photographer on the location n the style we are looking at.
We headed for a quick brunch before going to the BS for our gown selection. Day 2 brunch of the day : Lu Rou Fan ( Stewed meat rice) from Beard Zhang ( Hu Xu Zhang). many of them say theirs is the best but i tasted much better one ( the one in Bei Tou ~ old shop by old auntie ~ last Taiwan trip).
Pork Chop.
rice...very small bowl ~ we had 2 each in the end lol.
some soup that is cooked using pig intestine...tasteless..faint. n looks very er xin (disgusting) with the white intestine inside.
Cabbage
and nothing beats ending the meal with taiwan's bubble tea!
after a heavy lunch we went to select our gown. not sure if it is the right decision cos on the actual day of shoot, the white gown becomes super loose for me =(. faint.
the gown selection for outdoor shoot is not as much as we tot, probably most of the gowns doesnt seems to be appealing to us and suit our taste. we were quite worried that we may end up with no gown at all. on the other hand, i m quite happy that i can fit all of the gown. means i m not that fat la. haha
gown selection is quite tedious. cos every gown is very heavy and u need to wear n show n take off n wear another one. faint. it took us 3 hrs to select 5 gown for our shoot the next day. and after our gown selection, is LL's suit selection. for his, is quite simple. 1 black, 1 white n 1 grey. the rest of the accessories are mixed n matched by the BS. after that we went to Zhong Shan for some last minute shopping. we din know that we need to prepare singlet lor so we headed down to Xing Guan San Suo for some shopping. Did our quick dinner there at Ajisen Ramen before heading bk to the BS to meet up with the makeup artiste and photographer!
so we did a quick discussion with the makeup artiste on the style we are looking at and what suit us. and the locations we want to go with the photographer and the type of feel we are looking at. after that we headed bk to the hotel for a early night sleep for the next day!

Finally had a chance to try Kazokutei Handmade Udon. We ordered their Wagyu beef Shabu set that comes with fried chicken, a bowl of udon, shabu soup with veges and 80 grams of wagyu beef (set for 2). Frankly speaking we are kinda disappointed with their wagyu beef as i think it is not as fresh. the color of the beef looks pale n weird. The udon is still ok, very smooth but LL feedback that it doesnt taste that special. the shabu soup base is gd with lotsa veges inside. the staff there are quite friendly too.
Food : ** ( because of the wagyu beef)
Price : *** ( still consider reasonable but i feel the shabuya at Vivo is better and they serve better quality wagyu beef , in terms of freshness.)
Customer service : ***

It took me awhile before i can start to pen my taiwan trip here. Cos it will always remind me that i left Ronnie for a week and he left me after. but i do dream of him all the time. like for the past few nights. i m still waiting for him to bring me his friend to keep me company.
back to my taiwan trip. this is a trip for us to do our photoshoot in taipei. We booked a BS package from Best Romance ( they did a road show here last yr). so we decided to go taiwan for our photoshoot on the last wk of April (recommended by them). this is my second time in taipei and as we are there for a objective so we do not have much sight seeing to do. our BS shop is situated at Ming Guang Xi Section 2 and we booked a hotel( hotel sunroute) nearby to save us the logistic issues. to our surprise, the hotel is just situated diagonally opp the BS while it look so far on the map. the hotel is quite popular among japanese as it is built by a japanese. so the deco and renovation is very much jap style. very small room but u hav everything. we are caught by surprise that there is a bathtub in each hotel room despite the room is so small
our first dinner is at Ximending. we took a train that cost as 20 tai bi each to Ximending station from Ming Guan Xi station. a very short distance ride ( just a few stops away). we shop around before settling down for a shabu dinner. we realize that Shabu is quite cheap in taipei and u get very good premium angus beef for 20 plus SGD!
look at the food! free flow of beef and pork!
veges
the beef taste so perfect with raw egg!
that's us
after a satisfied beef spread, we went window shopping ( actually we also looking for Ah Zhong Mee Sua. something that we miss very much). finally after getting lost a few times, we found the shop at er mei street. Super long Q. and although we are already very full, but we still stuffed ourselves with the mee sua!
you just buy the mee sua and u can stand around the shop n eat! the weather is quite cool that day and it really warms your stomach after that!
we went back to the hotel with super stuffed stomach n knock out after that.
thats all for day 1. will continue on Day 2. | | |
