Review: Etude House Precious Mineral Any Cushion + Refill Details

Hello friends and fellow bloggers! I'm back! I think most of you didn't notice my absence (not that big of a blogger) however I missed blogging a lot :D The reason why I didn't update my blog was because I was studying for my AS Level exams, but now that i've got that done, I can blog again!!

Comparison between a new air puff and a old one





Ewwwwiieeee T_T

I do wash my puffs BTW, but after a certain amount of time using them they accumulate the BB cream to the point where even if you wash them they still look dirty.





Fragrance:

This BB cushion has a pretty strong smell and to be honest, i'm starting to get sick of it. At first it smelt lovely (rosy, flowery scent) but after about half a year it just becomes a little too much.





Consistency:

I think it's on the lightweight side of BB creams, but then again, most BB cushions are. It doesn't feel burdensome at all, and it has a moisturising feeling to it.





The formulation is definitely of a dewy finish, but not on the oily side. However, if you don't add a layer of powder it will start to feel and look oily, especially around the T-zone and the nose.









Performance:





A gentle press gives me enough product to fully cover half of my face. For a lighter layer, one gentle press is enough to brighten up the face.





I find it quite buildable, but if you have dry skin I do think it will enhance flaky patches.





It brightens up the face a lot, and even though I have the darkest shade, it still looks too light with no bronzer, especially in the Summer. I wouldn't recommend it if your skin tone is darker than a NC30.









Coverage:





As you can see, i've got some redness and visible pores.





No primer and one layer of the product.





I'm very satisfied with the coverage of this BB cream. I would say it's from medium to full coverage, and as you can see from the pictures, it conceals most redness and reduces the pores nicely.









Pros:

-Medium to full coverage

-Travel friendly

-Affordable

-Moisturising effect

-High SPF





Cons:

-Can whiten face too much

-Strong fragrance

-Air puffs get dirty easily

-May enhance dry patches









Conclusion:

This is the only BB cushion I have (for now) so I can't compare it to others, but I do think I really like it! It covers enough and isn't too heavy. However, the amount of SPF can definitely make your face look too white, so you should definitely consider if your skin tone will match this BB cushion.





Recommend? Yes. However, if you are sensitive to smells then no. Works great on my oily/combination skin.





Score

7/10





Thank you for reading, and I hope this review was useful!! XOXO <3
