I alternate between L'Occitane, Darphin, and Lancôme for my creams, but the Skinfood Propolis Cream was truly a perfect match for my skin. I wanted to buy it again, but it was disappointing that it wasn't available in stores. I had almost forgotten about it until I heard about the new cushion foundation in the propolis line, which made me so excited. As expected, it's packed with hydration. With the changing seasons already starting, the oil and moisture balance is just right for my dry skin. For a cushion, its coverage is surprisingly good. While it doesn't hide larger blemishes, it does cover the dark spots under my eyes, making my complexion look brighter.

I usually use YSL B25 as my reference shade - it's that ambiguous middle ground that's neither too light nor too dark. So I tried shade 2 of this cushion, but maybe because I've gotten a bit tanned recently, the color feels lighter than I expected. It might be good for those who prefer a slightly brighter makeup look. In the photo, the left side is without the product, and the right side is with it applied.
