Hey Dreamers and Creators!

How was your Labor Day weekend? Did you get some well deserved rest or gone exploring instead? Whatever it was, I hope it was a good long weekend!

My long weekend was pretty darn busy but as always I managed to squeeze in some testing time. Some of the products I've been testing out lately are cushions and the latest one I tried is this Tosowoong Essence Vitalizing Perfect Cover Cushion. This cushion might look plain on the outside, but there's a surprise waiting on the inside. Let's get to know it!


Tosowoong Essence Vitalizing Perfect Cover Cushion
15g, shade #21 Light Beige

Product Description: The Tosowoong Essence Vitalizing Perfect Cover Cushion is a moisturizing cushion. It's formulated with 55% Damask Rose Flower Water to soothe the skin while adding extra moisture to it. Along with other nourishing extracts like royal jelly, silk cocoon, caviar, aloe and more they work together to help create a bright and glowing complexion. The cushion also offers sun production of SPF 50+/PA+++ and can help to prevent wrinkles as well. It's a cushion that completes the experience of both skincare and makeup needs to create a flawless complexion.

Please Do Not use if you are sensitive to any of its ingredients.


Packaging: The outer box and cushion has a simple and to the point design, which makes the surprise inside even more worth well. The box comes with information mainly in Korean, so I had to translate a bit and dig a bit online to learn more about it. The cushion pack itself is like the typical cushion. It comes with a built-in mirror and a sponge puff holder inside. The bottom layer is where the cushion product is housed and that's also where the surprise is. (See image below.) The lollipop like swirl design is adorable and adds a bit of fun to its simple outer design.

Color: The shade I have is #21 Light Beige but the line also offers #22 Pink Beige as well. They also have a sister cushion, which is the Tone-Up cushion in #1 Pink Tone-Up.


Scent: With 55% rose water included, it does smell like sweet roses. It also have a light hint of herbal scent as well.

Texture: The Cover Cushion is a combination of rose water essence (white swirl) and foundation (beige swirl) mixed together. When applied, it feels moisturizing and the product adheres to the skin smoothly.



Pros:
-brightens
-moisturizes
-provide sun protection
-nourishes
-soothe
-cute design

Cons:
-Limited shades
-breaks down around the nose and apple zones easily

Final Thoughts: This is a good cushion. It offers a light and temporary cooling sensation and feels soothing when applied. Its coverage is decent and it can moisturize and brighten the skin as well. Plus, it smells delightful! It's unfortunate that it has limited shades, which means not everyone will be able to use it. I do hope that they add more shades to the line. Aside from that con, the only other con is that the product seems to break down around my nose/apple zones the easiest. Which means I have to do touch-ups there throughout the day. My T-Zone and Apple zones do produce more sebum than the rest of my face, so that's a factor as well and probably won't apply to everyone.

Will I purchase it in the future? I think you guys know my answer to this one already. Unless the cushion is my HG or close to it, I probably won't repurchase. Just because there are so many cushions on the market that I want to try. Do I think this Cover Cushion is worth a try? It can be worth it. If the shades they offer are a match and you don't have to worry about excess sebum breaking down the product, then try it! If the shade don't much or excess sebum is an issue, then maybe give another cushion a shot instead.
