[REVIEW] * THE FACE SHOP Oil Control Water Cushion V203

Who stands for Kim Soo Hyun?? I DO.. I DOOOOO!!!


Yessss,, lately THEFACESHOP has just released their new product: Oil Control Water Cushion. I was beyond happy knowing that actually the star behind this product is Kim Soo Hyun.. Oh I really love him so much!

OK, back to the topic! Actually, THIS.IS.MY.FIRST.EVER.CUSHION!!! Yay!! Finally I can try cushion foundation... Well, if you still don't know what "cushion" means, well, it is basically a foundation (the liquid one) which is soaked into the sponge/cushion. Unlike other traditional liquid foundations that come with pump bottle, this cushion is pretty handy in application. All you need is to dab-dab the applicator to the cushion and tap-tap it to your face then blend... Easy peasy for touch up as well because the mirror is also included in the case!



~ PRODUCT ~


OIL CONTROL WATER CUSHION comes from the brand THEFACESHOP which is from Korea. As I mentioned above, the cushion technology is a foundation that is soaked to the sponge that makes the application easy.


The claim of the product is to LEAVE ZERO OIL, GET FULL MOISTURE, and GIVE ABSOLUTE MATTE FINISH! But, did it really work on me as I wear it?? Well, just keep reading ya, guys!!



~ PACKAGING ~

As soon as I opened what THEFACESHOP has sent me, I almost screamed happily. Hehehe.. Ya ya, I know I may sound a little bit nuts but I was overwhelmed by the fact that this cushion has a very nice packaging. Right from the outer, with a very nice light blue water drop emboss which represents how the cushion will moisturize the skin upon wearing. Then the case it self, it's very versatile and luxurious looking with white color domination and the logo of THEFACESHOP printed on the cap. It's from plastic and little bit heavy but it's OK since it's very nice looking.

When I opened it, it felt so nice. The closure is somewhat safe and will not give you an Oops moment because it opens accidentally. Also, it comes with a puff. The technology of this puff is superb that it will not absorb the liquid foundation that is soaked into the cushion. So, put your worry to the rest because you will not waste the product as per your application.

I think 15g netto is somewhat a moderate amount to be placed in it. It will last months since you don't need thick application. So,, I think it worths the price ya...



~ TEXTURE AND FORMULA ~


Speaking about the texture, this cushion has a thick-yet-runny liquidy stuff as I touch and wear it on my face. But that's the plus thing for me as I don't need extra tap to cover all the blemishes. The thing is, light hand will be so much occupied in this matter.

Since it is a daily wear foundation, I think sun protective agent must be included. So does THEFACESHOP cushion have. Not 10, not 20, but with SPF 50+ and PA+++ you will be ready to welcome the sun... Ingredients listed above in the last photo in "Packaging" point.



~ COLOR CHOICE AND PAY OFF ~


THEFACESHOP Oil Control Water Cushion has 3 colors and the most dark one is the one that THEFACESHOP was sent to me: V2013 Natural Beige. To be honest, this shade is pretty much looked like my skin tone on the cushion but after I wore it, it's definitely above it, like 2 or 3 tones lighter. But powder application will help to neutralize the light color that this cushion gives.

The coolest thing is the fact that I didn't need to get my concealer on because all I need was only this cushion.



~ PRICE AND PRODUCT AVAILABILITY ~


THEFACESHOP Oil Control Water Cushion had been officially added to the collection and sold for Rp329,000. A little bit pricey for me but who'll refuse the temptation of Kim Soo Hyun and the fact that it is a nice product??? NOBODY! Hohohoho...


As long as you find THEFACESHOP counter, you'll easily can find this cushion. So don't worry too much if you are so bad in wanting this product.



~ VERDICT ~


So here's the fun part: me telling you guys about my experience in wearing this cushion. As I tried wearing this cushion, honestly I was a little bit upset knowing that I had to get a-few-shades-lighter-than-my-skin-tone foundation. I personally like having a base make up with the closest color with my natural skin tone. I have around NC 30-35ish, basically it's a natural tan for Indonesian's skin tone.


BUT...

After I applied the product, I waited for some time to give it the chance to absorb and react to my skin... Then I don't know but it seemed like a magic that the cushion foundation slowly changed (may I say "adapted"?) into my natural skin tone. At first, yessss I admit that the color really gave me a ghost looking. But after about 15minutes and it's fully absorbed into my skin, it really mimics my natural skin tone. Well not really, but close like this>> ||. The pics below will tell you everything.

When I applied it, actually I was going to the nearest mall from my residence by using public transportation at noon. It was around 11AM. I have a combo of oily and dry skin and during my wearing of it, it really gave the moist feeling to my skin as well as visible matte finish. It really is what it claims for... After 3 hours of walking and hanging around with my mom, I barely noticed the excess oil came from my T-Zone (as it tends to be oily after several hours of make up application), only there was a subtle glow like it was a lit from within. Really gave the healthy natural looking which I was looking for.


PS: pardon the discoloration look on my forehead in "Under Natural Light - sunlight" photo. It's basically only the shadow from my hijab and since the sunlight comes from above us. (^_^)

Alright, it's a wrap! I hope you'll find my post is somewhat helpful... Thank you for THEFACESHOP and Kawaii Beauty Japan for this product to be sent to me for trial purpose. And,,,, some BONUS for all the Kim Soo Hyun fans... Hehehe..

    Personally I don't wear any of the cushions but I love The Face Shop! I stocked up a ton of their mango seed cleanser before I left Seoul and I'm using their green tea cleanser now. Love them!

  6. I love Face Shop products especially their face masks. So easy to use. It is a cheap alternative to the lancome one. I'm glad that it does give you a natural look. Looking forward to checking this out next time I go to Face Shop.

    shade-nya terlihat agak gelap ya, tapi ternyata setelah dipakai warna-nya agak terang.
    cocok untuk kulitmu yang kuning langsat. :)
    btw, softlens-nya pakai apa? :D
