The Face Shop Oil Control Water Cushion

Incorporating K-Dramas or K-Vlogs in your life would eventually lead you to the path of K-Beauty.I've always wanted to try the "Cushion" but I was unlucky for the longest time. Probably evey Korean store I go to has their cushions "out of stock".

When I stumbled across a less frequently visited mall, I jumped on the chance on one of these:



This is the Oil Control Water Cushion in Natural Beige. The packaging looked absolutely amazing. I always just love K-Packaging, so cute! But instead of the more "Pink" or "Kawaii" vibe, this cushion held a more refined design with the Gold accents. 

Applying the cushion was so much fun, after all, I've seen them K-Vloggers do it so many times. Patting it on your face with a puff is a completely foreign practice to me. I've never applied my foundation or BB Cream with a puff. However, the process takes forever. If you have the patience, go ahead. At first, when you're still intrigued with the idea, it seems fun, but it gets tiresome after a couple weeks. Also, unlike the beauty blender that has the tip part which helps you get to the "edges" of your face, applying with a puff is a bit difficult when it gets to the tear duck area. When you get past it, you're good to go. 

The smell of this product in particular, I like. There's something about it I can't pinpoint. To me it smells like a luxury store, like entering a department store beauty section. It's also very cooling when you put it on. I think it's because it's "water" based? Anyway, it's very cold on the skin which is always nice, like applying makeup in front of a fan. That I enjoy.

The coverage is light? I don't know. But it's definitely not high coverage. It covered what it needed to cover but as you can see my zit (on my nose) is still slightly visible. The good part of it is it's very skin like, and that's probably its best feature. It doesn't look like I put makeup on to be honest, but it certainly gave me the upgrade.

Recommend? Not really.

What do you think?

And by the way, if you wanted to know more about cushions, I recommend Edward Avila's video on Youtube:

#HAUL: DJ Snake and Coldplay!

So, I went to the mall and these are the things I got. I feel like that's all I do in this blog anyway... is haul. (lol)

Neverland got cancelled on December 9-10, 2016. Thankfully, DJ Snake is still heading to Manila, and is booked to perform at The Palace Pool Club. Of course I'm going. So I went to the mall with hopes to buy a blast outfit.

I went to Forever 21. This isn't my best match, but I couldn't let go of either one. Most of the designs at F21 now are "winter" and "Christmas" involved. I wouldn't get caught with those. 


I probably wouldn't wear these two together. I mean, they aren't the cutest matched together. But I got the top because it fit me so well. I've gained fats lately because law school and "sembreak" has been happening. So finding a top that would conceal my rolls is a must buy.

Now the skirt is a different story. I was slightly hopeful it was shorts instead, but whatever. I bought it because it's garter. It's so easy to slip on. Moreover, I got it because it screams "boho" and I could recycle this for a couple more music festivals. 

I've been wearing a lot of chokers lately because I just love the Grungy look. I'm not a fan of gold accessories from Forever 21 because they tarnish, so I got these instead. If you've been around for a while, you'd probably guessed by now. I am obsessed with anything that sparkles! 


The colorful one isn't really my style. But I got it for Coldplay. Coldplay will be coming to Manila on April 4, 2017. I'm going. And I can already envision my outfit, 5 months away. I'd have to search for a tie dye shirt for it. And I figured I'd wear the choker with it. If you don't know, the concept for A Head Full of Dreams is this:



The last item I got from F21 is this necklace (which was on sale). I know it's gold, and eventually it would tarnish. But the price was worth it. After all, it's a snatch! 


Besides chokers, I've been obsessing over snapback hats as well. I've been trying to incorporate one with my everyday outfit. Besides the Grungy style, I'm also a fan of street style. What more do you need but a hat to add that street vibe. I got both from the Men section at the SM Dept. Store.


The last thing I got is a repurchase. I've been putting this off for so long, I swear. But I like to wear this on brows because it makes it look close to natural. I hate outlining my brows but I have no choice. Most of the time, I mess up, so my trick is to use a brow gel to remedy the imperfections. The bran is Kate Cosmetics (they have a branch at V-Mall and MOA), and the shade is BR-1.
