Laneige BB Cushion [Pore Control] no 23 - My Honest Review

Hi beauties ...

Aku pengen review cushion dari Laneige yang tersohor ini. Udah lama banget aku ngincer produk yang satu ini; Laneige BB cushion [Pore Control]. Cushion ini adalah salah satu best-selling cushion di Korea. Klaimnya cushion ini bisa pore control, pore coverage, semi-matt finish, cooling sensation dan long lasting. Aku memutuskan beli cushion ini diantara cushion-cushion yang lain karena hasil review yang bagus di blog dan youtube. 
nice packaging actually
Aku beli cushion ini di shade #23 Sand beige karena kulit aku ga terlalu putih, lebih ke arah coklat sawo matang khas orang Indonesia. Tipe kulitku oily-combination dengan warm undertone. Cushion korea kebanyakan punya shade yang terlalu putih, makanya aku pilih shade 23 ini supaya makenya gak bakal kayak topeng. Let's see what the product claims ...

Pore Control 3/5
Aku punya kulit yang berpori besar, dan menurutku cushion ini sama sekali ga nutupin pori-pori. Justru pori-pori dan komedo tampak semakin terlihat jelas. Ngerti kan rasanya kalau pas pake make up tebel, kalo dari jauh dan pas difoto kulit tampak mulus, tapi pas dari dekat keliatan banget tonjolan komedo/jerawi di bawah make up? Nah.

Pore Coverage 2/5
Aku punya banyak bekas jerawat sisa purging pemakaian Sk-II, dan cushion ini sama sekali ga bisa nutupin bekas jerawatku. Coveragenya sheer to medium kali ya. Kalau hanya untuk redness atau dark spot coklat kecil mungkin bisa ketutupan, tapi kalau yang pigmentation-nya udah dark banget susah banget buat ditutupin, harus pakai concealer lagi. Padahal udah di build berkali-kali loh!

Semi-matt Finish 3.5/5
Kebanyakan BB/CC cream korea hasilnya dewy glowy kinclong gimana gitu deh which I don't like coz I have oily skin. Cushion ini hasilnya semi-matt. Emang rada lengket-lengket gitu pas awal-awal di-apply, tapi lama-lama bakalan setting sendiri dan kulit jadi halus kayak ga pake apa-apa. Kalo ga di-setting pakai powder, suka nempel di masker wajah atau ngecap di jari karena masih 'basah'.

Cooling Sensation 3.5/5
Secara ini produknya cair ya, jadi pas puffnya di-apply ke muka, ya rasanya mirip pas kena air gitu. Rasanya sejuk gitu. Tapi kalo pas ambil produknya dikit di puff, ya ga berasa apa-apa sih.

Long Lasting 4/5
Di kulitku yang oily, produk ini kira-kira tahan sekitar 4-5 jam sebelum rasanya pengen blotting di daerah jidat dan hidung. Kalau wudhu pun make up-nya ga luntur which is a yay.

Caution! Bare face attack. These images were taken in natural light with 2MP front camera with no filter.
bare face, sorry too many dark spot :(
half side on the left after apply bb cushion, right side bareface. Not much of a difference, I know, sigh
zoom in, left side with bb cushion, right side with nothing on
Udah sekitar semingguan aku pakai cushion ini dan Im not too impressed with the result after using this. Entah kenapa, mungkin karena shade-nya yang sama persis kayak shade kulitku, jadinya kalau tiap pake cushion ini ga mencerahkan atau menaikkan tone kulit. Setelah pakai ini efeknya ya muka kayak lagi pake make up, tapi make upnya itu ga bikin muka kelihatan mulus ataupun cerah (thats why I said this product lack of pore coverage). Bekas jerawat juga tetep aja kelihatan. Jadi kalo pake cushion ini, ga ada perbedaan signifikan di muka, cuma muka berasa lengket-lengket aja. Cushion ini gak ngasih benefit apa-apa ke aku selain kandungan Spf-nya yang tinggi. Other than that? Meh. Coverage? No. Whitening? No. Smooth skin? No.
full aply. the imperfections are still there, my dark spots and my dark circles around the eyes.

Memang sebenarnya kalo nyari foundation itu yang sewarna dengan kulit kita supaya gak kelihatan belang. This cushion really match my skin tone, but it doesn't give me coverage at all. Maybe I should go for lighter shade, idk. Maybe my skin isn't smooth so it didn't give me a satin smooth silky finish.
I think this product is too overrated :( But this is just my opinion, everyone has different skin type. Maybe this product isn't just for me. Please tell me what you think of this product or reccommend your fav products!

Taylor Swift - Mine



You were in college working part time waiting tablesLeft a small town, never looked backI was a flight risk with a fear of fallingWondering why we bother with love if it never lasts
I say can you believe it?As we're lying on the couchThe moment I could see itYes, yes, I can see it now
Do you remember we were sitting there by the water?You put your arm around me for the first timeYou made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughterYou are the best thing that's ever been mine
Flash forward and we're taking on the world togetherAnd there's a drawer of my things at your placeYou learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guardedYou say we'll never make my parents' mistakes
But we got bills to payWe got nothing figured outWhen it was hard to takeYes, yes, this is what I thought about
Do you remember we were sitting there by the water?You put your arm around me for the first timeYou made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughterYou are the best thing that's ever been mine
Do you remember all the city lights on the water?You saw me start to believe for the first timeYou made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughterYou are the best thing that's ever been mine
And I remember that fight, 2:30 a.m.As everything was slipping right out of our handsI ran out crying and you followed me out into the street
Braced myself for the goodbye'Cause that's all I've ever knownThen you took me by surpriseYou said I'll never leave you alone
You said I remember how we felt sitting by the waterAnd every time I look at you, it's like the first timeI fell in love with a careless man's careful daughterShe is the best thing that's ever been mine
Hold on, make it lastHold on, never turn backYou made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughterYou are the best thing that's ever been mine
Do you believe it?We're gonna make it nowI can see itI can see it now

Florence + The Machine - Shake it out



Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play
And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn

And I've been a fool and I've been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
I'm always dragging that horse around
And our love is pastured such a mournful sound
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
So I like to keep my issues drawn
But it's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaaah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah

I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back so shake him off

And given half the chance would I take any of it back
It's a fine romance but its left me so undone
It's always darkest before the dawn

Oh woah, oh woah...

And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road
And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope
It's a shot in the dark and right at my throat
Cause looking for heaven, found the devil in me
Looking for heaven, found the devil in me
Well what the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah

a pile of sadness

"Halo,
Apakabar mas?

Kapan terakhir kali kita bertemu mas? Terakhir kali kuingat sepertinya kamu lebih kurus. Apakah kamu sudah wisuda sekarang? Apakah setelah lulus kamu akan pergi ke daerah-daerah terpencil dan mengerjakan proyek di sana? Apakah kamu masih suka berpetualang, memanjat gunung dan menyelam?

Mas,
Apakah kamu masih suka bernyanyi di pagi hari? Apakah kamu masih suka bermain futsal? Apakah kamu masih menggemari k-pop? Apakah kamu masih mengikuti komik One Piece favoritmu? Apakah tas laptop eiger yang kuberikan sebagai ulang tahunmu dulu masih kamu simpan? Apakah kamu pernah memakainya?

Mas,
kudengar kamu telah menemukan gadis dambaanmu. Apakah dia menerima lamaranmu? Apakah kamu bercerita tentang keinginanmu untuk berbulan madu di atas gunung, sama seperti saat dulu kamu masih bersamaku? Ataukah, kamu punya rencana lain bersamanya? Apakah kamu masih berhasrat untuk mengunjungi Jepang dan Inggris?

Mas,
Bolehkah aku sedikit membayangkan masa depanmu? Akhirnya kamu akan menikahi gadis pujaanmu itu. Dia gadis yang sempurna bukan? Tidak sepertiku. Kamu akan memiliki anak perempuan yang lucu seperti afika darinya. Apakah kamu akan menamainya Hana Zafira? Aku juga suka nama itu. Sungguh keluarga yang bahagia. Apakah sekarang kamu bahagia mas?

Mas,
Apakah kamu masih mengingatku?"



Entah sejak kapan aku mulai menulis surat untuknya, tanpa nama dan tanpa alamat. Sengaja surat itu tak pernah aku kirimkan. Isi surat itu selalu sama, tentang pertanyaan-pertanyaan, meskipun aku rasa aku tahu apa jawabannya. Aku sedikit berharap, dengan terus-menerus bertanya aku akan mendapatkan jawaban yang berbeda. Atau mungkin juga, aku terlalu takut untuk mengetahui kenyataan dan semua jawaban darinya. Kulipat secarik kertas itu dan kumasukkan ke dalam amplop. Kusimpan hati-hati dalam sebuah kotak khusus, bergabung bersama dengan puluhan surat lainnya dan kesedihan didalamnya.
