Review ★ Hera UV Mist Ultra Moisture Cushion in #21

Hello!!

Have you gotten into BB/CC cushion trend yet? BB cushions have been my obsession ever since I bought the Innisfree Long Wear cushion. I've tried a bunch from various brands so far so far, and I have yet to be really let down on any of them. I love that they feel light on the skin, in comparison to some foundations which I can feel on my skin. It pretty much feels like I'm not wearing face makeup~ But anyways, my most recent cushion pickup is this Hera one which has some really great reviews on Youtube!

Hera is housed by Amore Pacific, but it is on the more expensive side with other brands such as IOPE, Laneige and Sulwhasoo.


Hera has three other BB cushions available that are geared towards different needs. The original UV Mist Cushion comes in 'natural' and 'cover' like the IOPE Air Cushion- the natural one provides less coverage for those who only need a sheer wash of colour to even out their complexion, while the cover one minimizes redness and discolouration. There is also Long Stay Cushion provides strong coverage while minimizing sebum secretion. And then there is the Ultra Moisture Cushion which is an intermediary between the original UV Mist Cushion in 'cover' and the Long Stay Cushion!

This cushion comes in 3 shades: #13 Cool Ivory, #21 Cool Vanilla, #23 Cool Beige.

Please read behind the cut for my full review ^^!

Review ★ Bornprettystore [sponsored]

Hello everyone, it's been awhile!

I haven't posted anything in like a month and a half, but school and personal stuff got in the way of taking photos and writing anything. After all, November and December are the months of torture for most students. But at least I can say I survived final project due dates and finals!

Awhile back, Alicia from Bornprettystore contacted me to do a review on a product of my choice! I picked a lip crayon because crayon's tend to have a more moisturizing formula than lip sticks. The Canadian winters are cold and dry, so some sort of moisturizing lip product is a must, to avoid that chapped lips or that right sensation from dry lips.



Many of the products sold by Bornprettystore do not have a specific brand, but at the same time, you can't argue with their prices. Due to the lack of branding, there isn't a high mark-up on the products which means that the prices aren't inflated. Their goods are very inexpensive and awesome for those looking for new things to try, or are on a budget. Bornprettystore has a variety of beauty products ranging from makeup to nail products.

They also stock other miscellaneous items such as towel holders, phone screen protectors, etc. You're bound to find something at a really affordable price. On top of that, they offer free shipping which is a huge plus for many, because shipping prices can get ridiculous.

Anyways, you can continue to read my review behind the cut! All opinions on this product are unbiased and 100% honest.
