Review: Lalavesi Akma Cushion F.W/Y2

Hi Everyone.

Recently I just fall in love of the cover cushion brand Lalavesi. It's so cute!

Lalavesi Akma

Their star product actually is the Akma (Devil) Cream Europe No.7 Red Diamond. It's a moisturizing cream for dry skin. It can be apply on face or body! I do saw some reviews about their cream, but it's really hardly found in Malaysia unless I'm going to buy it at Korea. Akma Cream will be definitely a going-to-buy list on my next trip to Korea.

When i first saw at 11street, a korean seller was selling the Akma cushion, and without hesitation, I bought it!With the limited choices, I only able to the F.W Classic Collection, Y2.

So I wanted to choose the S.F (Spring Fall) or S.S (Special Summer) Formula to suit the Malaysia weather. But I can get only for F.W (Fall Winter) formula, maybe it's a suitable cushion for me since I almost full time working in air-conditional room. :(

Product

It's contain New Zealand honey essence so it's will be more moisture cushion that suitable to use at Fall and Winter. It's have SPF47 PA++.
There have 3 type of Skin tone can be choosing, Y1, Y2 and Y6. As the number increase, the darker skin tone.
The special things for Lalavesi Akma Cushion is that, it's weight 20g!! The normal always come with 15g.

Below is the guide for their Cushion Season Program:

Packaging

On the time I get the Akma cushion, their professional and hygiene packaging just blew me away! Lalavesi separate the cover, cushion and the puff.

I'm so existing to unpack it!

It's empty before I put the cushion inside. I just in love with the High quality cover and gold label!

The cover looks simple yet grand. I love the gold label and also the pearl white of the cover.

It's time for me to combine both together and become a complete cushion. Hahaha
It's very easy to combine both together!

You can still see the mirror kinda looks in Green color because I haven't remove the mirror screen protector~ hehehe

After i tried it for a few days, and... choosing a correct season of cushion is the main point!
I'm not gonna lie but I do think Fall Winter collection cushion is really not suitable for a country that all day summer!

At first I though, maybe I will just used it since I stay in the air-cond office for a very long time. But actually, I miss calculated the time when walk to the office, lunch time and walk to the train station, back home and etc.. Hahaha

Before apply any liquid foundation or cushion, I always apply a layer of Make Up Base. After that, I applied the Lalavesi cushion on my face, i don't feel sticky feeling but when i touch my face, it is not smooth.

The coverage is medium. Since I choose Y2, so it will not make me look so pale. The color is just perfect. This cushion does make my face look shine and bright! Maybe by the Honey essence, the face will not feel the dryness at all. Well, this cushion is tend to make for Fall and Winter anyway. Hahaha
When i reach the aircon office, my face will not feel sticky anymore when I touch it. But at the time when expose under the sun, the face will be a bit oily.

*Tips: I saw some article talking about Loose Powder able to control the oily of the make up face. So after applied all the make up, the last step will be the Loose powder to make the face more flawless and control the oily face. Even for a dry skin loose powder will not dry up your skin!

This is definitely a good cushion for Fall Winter season. And I believe the Special Summer edition will be better for me. I will keep searching on which seller do have the Special Summer edition in Malaysia!

Thanks so much for the reading. Have a nice day!



21.03 Update:
Last 2 weeks i was travel to Hong Kong and Macau. The weather is so cold. The temperature was around 10c. For a tropical person, it's cold already. :D
I was used the Lalavesi Akma cushion there since it's mean for winter, and it's a really good cushion at winter. I'm impress. My face doesn't feel dry at all under the temperature, and it keep my face moisture and dewy somehow. It's a really good cushion during Fall/Winter season :D!

Review: April Skin Magic Snow Cushion

Hi everyone.

Do you heard of April Skin before?

April Skin Official Website

Recently the April Skin Magic Stone face soap was becoming a big hits. Even in Malaysia, it's a big hits item on Facebook. The company state as using the 100% natural ingredient and help detoxification skin that is dry and sensitive.
A lot of celebrities recommend it on Instagram or even Facebook.
Below is the link which some of the beauty blogger that recommend and explanation (Along with the Magic Snow Cream):

http://en.aprilskin.com/shopinfo/video.html

I bought the April Skin Magic Snow Cushion from 11street. I'm quite surprise that the seller having this item on their shop, and I bought it without hesitate.

Product

This cushion is 15g. (Without refill). SPF 50+/PA+++.
It comes with 2 choices of color: #21 Light Beige and #22 Pink Beige.

Since my skin tone is quite fair, so I'm choosing the #21 Light Beige.

It provide moisture and flawless coverage at the same time.

The 5 main selling points for this cushion:

• Flawless Coverage
• Excellent Spreadability
• Easily Absorbs
• Beautiful Two Tones
• Blocks UV rays, Whitening, Anti-Aging > 3 in 1 :)

For more information and ingredient details, you can go to their officially website:

The amazing things and the first time I saw on the cushion that difference with other cushion brand is that April Skin having the double cushion, that's mean the cushion real look a bit curve up, it's to prevent moisture from evaporating.

Curve up cushion

Alright, now I'm trying the cushion on my hand:

The very rich foundation that I only slightly touch on the cushion surface

Try the cushion on my hand. Just a few taps. You can see the difference of the skin tone.

My point of view

The packaging is just a so so. It's a black plastic cover.

The price is a slightly high, 28USD without refill, and 38USD with refill.
April Skin actually is not a well known brand example like Sulhwasoo or Laniege at Oversea. So the price range for me is a slightly high.
The smell of the cushion is a bit strong.

Good things is the slightly curve up cushion is impress me.
And the result after I applied on my face was fascinating. It's totally bright up my face and the coverage is good. Be careful when choosing for the right cushion tone for your skin. For me, Light Beige is little bit fair already.

It's definitely a worth try cushion for those who want the fastest flawless coverage. Just a few puffs and it will cover almost my face's pores.

My daily working routine will be like stay in air-conditional environment for a long time (working place) and only expose to sun while going to lunch. So, the coverage can be up to 6 to 7 hours.
My skin is combination skin type. This cushion is not too oily or neither dry for me.

Overall, it's a good cushion. I will totally recommend it to who want the fastest flawless coverage (will it a bit over? hehehe)

Thanks so much for your time to read this review. :)
