Pros1. Great value for money. Bought the full-size product + refill from Hemecohab for only 20,915 won, which is incredibly affordable. They even threw in a free tint, though the color was random and not one I'd use.
2. The case has a simple, pretty design. (Refer to image for visual)
3. It's fragrance-free. While I don't mind scented products, it's hit or miss whether you'll like the fragrance. So, being unscented is nice as there's no bothersome smell.
4. Works well with the puff. The teardrop-shaped puff is soft and squishy, providing good adherence.
5. Moisturizing yet powdery finish. It feels hydrating when applied but sets to a soft, matte finish.
6. Clean ingredients. Out of 20 caution ingredients and two allergy caution ingredients, this only contains two. As I've always mentioned in my reviews, I consider a product to have clean ingredients if it has four or fewer of these combined. This one only has two from the caution list, so it's definitely clean.
7. The shade is very light and cool-toned. It's perfect for me as I use shades from 13 to light 21 with cool undertones. According to the product details, it's suitable for shades 13-17.
8. Comes in three shades, which is great since most cushions only offer 21 and 23. The options are: Light Pink (this product, for shades 13-17), Pure (ivory tone for 19-21), and Medium Deep (beige tone for 24-25).
ConsWhile I'm mostly satisfied, there's one major disappointment - the shade.
In the wrist swatch photo, this product is at the top. The second is Hanskin Blemish Cover [Rosy], third is Espoir Be Glow Foundation 3C Wedding Peach, and fourth is the pink side of Laneige Very Very Dual BB Cushion.
I prefer shades like 2, 3, and 4 with a true pink base, but this product has more white than pink, which is disappointing. I deducted one star for this. The description claims it's pink, but as you can see in the swatch, it's more of a white shade. I wish it had more of a pink tint like products 2, 3, and 4.
Initially, I thought the coverage and lasting power were moderately low and didn't deduct stars. However, with continued use, I've noticed they're quite weak, so I've revised my rating to 3 stars.
It's frustrating because I'm very satisfied with the functionality, price, product design, and ingredients. If only the shade was a true pink base and the coverage and lasting power were improved, I'd consider repurchasing. As it stands, I won't be buying it again.
