Cushion Foundation Week 3 Day 3 : Not sure what to make of the Bobbi Brown Skin Radiant Glow Cushion Compact

6 Comments

Day 3 of the Cushion Foundation Week 3! If you missed the earlier featured cushions, find them all here.

This week, the cushions are a mixed bag, featuring a Japanese brand, a couple of Western brands, and featuring some Korean brands too. The categories will be kept as per previous posts, so you can refer back to them all and it’ll look fairly familiar. The difference will be in the products featured. Also, I will do a round up at the end of the week, just to give closure to this week.

Cushion Foundation Week 3 Day 3 brings a sense of deja vu. Did I not already feature the Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation Cushion Compact prior to this? Yes I did. If you remember, the packaging is a sleek black case. This time, Bobbi Brown has released something different as part of their Extra Glow collection, in a sleek white case.

This is the Bobbi Brown Skin Radiant Glow Cushion Compact SPF50 that comes in just 1 shade – Rosy Glow. The purpose of this rosy-pink tinted product is to diffuse harsh light, and infuse complexion with a youthful, soft luminosity – why don’t you decide if it does 😛

Cushion Foundation Week 3 Day 2 features one of the newest brands to the cushion foundation game – French brand, Clarins. Honestly, yes I was surprised they went there, although not too surprised. It is a growing trend that doesn’t seem to be dying, and it pays to jump on board and strike while the iron is hot!

I will say this. I had experience with Clarins foundations back when they were first around, and I found them quite good. I had tried their Everlasting Foundation in particular, which is a longlasting foundation. Considering that this is the Clarins Everlasting Cushion Foundation, my guess is that it is part of this family.

28 Comments

Last week on Instagram, I told you I was prepping something huge for this week. Well, here it is – Cushion Foundation Week 3! Honestly, I can’t believe I’m doing this again LOL! I undertook Cushion Foundation Week 1 and I did the K-Beauty edition in Cushion Foundation Week 2 back in 2016 and honestly, I thought I was done.

However, since then, a few new cushion foundations have found their way onto my desk. So, I decided it was best to just deal with them all together. So you get Cushion Foundation Week 3! Brace yourselves for a whole WEEK of blog posts, and all about cushion foundations! Yay! Or maybe Nay! LOL! To catch up, find all the cushion foundation reviews here and look out for the round up at the end of the week!

Today is Day 1 of Cushion Foundation Week 3. This week, the cushions are a mixed bag, featuring a Japanese brand, a couple of Western brands, and featuring some Korean brands too. The categories will be kept as per previous posts, so you can refer back to them all and it’ll look fairly familiar. The difference will be in the products featured. Also, I will do a round up at the end of the week, just to give closure to this week.

Alright then, here we go!

Cushion Foundation Week 3 kicks off with the Shiseido Synchro Skin Glow Cushion Compact. This was launched back in 2016 I believe, but I received it only fairly recently. Do correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t see many Japanese brands on the cushion foundation bandwagon. (I discount Shu Uemura as a Japanese brand because their direction isn’t very Japanese – but that’s just my impression. That said, I did try their first “cushion“)

Well, blow me down. I’m IN LOVE with this Shiseido Synchro Skin Glow Cushion Compact! Seriously, I am! Well, you would too, if what you’re looking for is coverage, because boy! Do you get some serious coverage with this one! 😀

The Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Gel Touch Foundation is like a cushion foundation but isn’t

8 Comments

After I went through 2 rounds of intensive cushion foundation testing and comparisons (Korean and Western and how they stack up against each other), I swore I’d not feature another cushion. I don’t even wear them regularly, and when I do wear them, here’s the spoiler – give me a good Korean cushion any day. My preference is Hera and Sulwhasoo.

As it turns out, the Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Gel Touch Foundation isn’t technically a cushion, so I get around my self-imposed rule LOL!

When I first showed the Les Beiges Healthy Glow Gel Touch Foundation on Instagram, I received quite a few requests to share some thoughts on it, and I promised I would, so here it is, after about a month of playing with it. Foundation or makeup testing doesn’t usually take this long with me, but I had to figure out certain things about this one.

One of the plus points I can see is that Chanel hasn’t called this a “cushion foundation” even though it LOOKS like a cushion foundation. It comes in a sturdy square compact, with a pop-out refill pod and sponge applicator. It just screams “CUSHION FOUNDATION” at you, but that’s really where the similarity ends.
