I say…

Similar to its predecessor (the Laneige Snow BB Soothing Cushion), it comes in a compact casing with a puff tray that also doubles as a seal (to avoid the product evaporating and drying out).
It’s still the same size (in terms of the refill), so if you wanna swop around the Amore Pacific family’s BB cushions, feel free to do so (Hera UV Mist Cushion, IOPE Air Cushion XP) .
This new version contains the MelaCrusher technology (check out this photo to find out what it’s about).
Even though I store it in normal temperature, it still feels a refreshingly icy cool when I apply it to my skin, which I attribute to the 4-degree drop in temperature that it’s supposed to bring about. Loving this!
Besides soothing your skin with the cooling effect, it also has 5 other effects, one of which is moisturising. Yes, my skin feels really moisturised and waterfull, a teensy weensy bit too much for my liking. Within an hour, I could feel my glasses sliding down my nose and I noticed streaked BB marks along my nose bridge too. (yes I know I could jolly well wear contact lenses as well, but hey, this is a truthful review).
Because of its waterfullness, it gives a lovely glowy and dewy finish. See above pictures for proof.
It does even out my skintone pretty well (except for the fact that it’s a little bitty too yellowish for my skintone). Coverage of blemishes is pretty good as well.
Although 1-2 layers is enough for everyday wear, you can pat on many layers but it won’t cake.
However, the one downside of this (and its predecessor) is its oxidisation rate. I’m not sure if it’s caused by my particularly overactive sebum glands, but I find that it begins oxidising and melting after just 2-3 hours of wear. I can see it particularly clearly at the chin, the nose and corners of the nose – miniscule little spots of oxidised BB cushion combined with facial sebum. Very unglam-looking. The cheeks and area under the cheek bones are fine though (cos that area of my face is slightly drier).
Overall, I still like this BB cushion and I’d still recommend it, but only to those whose sebum glands aren’t so into working overtime. It gives a beautiful glowing coverage, makes your skin cool down, is convenient and good enough for touching up on the go. Available from March 2014 onwards and comes in 5 shades: #13 True Beige, #21 Natural Beige, #23 Sand Beige, #31 Brown Beige and #33 Coffee.
