Hey~ I'm sure you've already knew about the famous cosmetic called BB Cushion. I believe the first one who started the trend is korean brand. Even my very first BB Cushion is from Laneige. But, nowadays many other brands also have their own BB Cushion. Some drugstore brand like Maybelline and L'oreal also have BB Cushion Product.
Joined the hype, I also want to make my own BB Cushion! yes, you read it right, I want to make my BB Cushion. Recently I bought a new bb cushion set from local online shop. I've heard about this set quite a while but it's quite rare for local online shop to sell it. So when one of my friend sells it on Instagram, I quickly grab one. Today I will break down the set for you and also I will make a DIY BB Cushion yay~
This is how the set looks like. It contains a cushion case, inner container, and also puff. The inner container can be separate from the case so you can change it with another container. The size is slightly bigger than my Laneige BB Cushion, so I think not all cushion container will fits the case perfectly. I personally love the design of the case. It comes with 2 colors, black and white, but I prefer white because it is my favourite color. The design looks so personal and whenever I hold it, its like "Hey this is my cushion and it's better than yours!" lol.
Now onto the DIY~ Since I have oily and acne-prone skin, I put a lot of tea tree product on my BB Cushion. You know I love everything about tea tree hehehe~
Here are the ingredients:
Kose Suncut UV Proctect Gel --- Sunscreen
Cathy Doll Water Splash Essence --- Essence (Brightening Effect)
The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Lotion --- Moisturizer (Anti-acne)
Maybelline Dream Satin Skin Foundation
The Body Shop Tea Tree BB Cream
The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil
Let's start~ PS: Don't forget to sterilize everything before you start working!
Put all the ingredients inside the container
Mix all the ingredients into the container with cotton bud. I don't have exact measurement since I just put whatever amount into the container *lol* but, I heard you must fill at least 1/3 of the container. When you think your mixture is too runny, add more BB cream/foundation/concealer.
Dab the excess product on the cotton bud to the cushion and spread it
Then put the cushion into the container and start to poke it gently all over the cushion with the cotton bud so the BB mixture will spread all over the cushion
Final Result~
Yay~ it works!
Swatches~
Now let me make a quick review about my new BB cushion!
The texture is like lotion, not too runny and not too thick. It has a strong tea tree scent. It provides light-medium coverage (buildable). The shade slightly lighter than my skin tone (maybe the effect from the essence that has a good brightening effect hahaha) so I need to use finishing powder to set it. Finish result is semi matte and the oli control is quite good. What I love the most is the cooling effect this BB Cushion give. It feels cold everytime I use this BB Cushion, maybe because I put quite a lot tea tree ingredients.
Overall: I love my new BB cushion, thought it isn't that perfect but for first timer I think this BB Cushion is quite good. I use it daily for now, as I really like the cooling effect, when you live in humid city like SBY, you always want to seek something cool. hehehe~
So, I have so much fun with this BB Cushion Set, I'm planning to buy more set and play with it again~ Have you make your own BB Cushion? If you have an old BB Cushion, you can always wash it and sterilized it and then make your own BB Cushion.
