I have finally gotten my hands on this April Skin cushion. Everyone was talking about their Magic Snow Cushions, both in white and black, but I wasn’t sure if I really wanted to try it, hence I didn’t get it. But my curiosity was killing me so I asked BBcosmetic to send me one to try out. *This cushion is mentioned in my huge cushion comparison, pt 2. Note Comparison video review with the new version is right here. Packaging The box is matte black with white letters and black glossy letters on the “background” which just say April Skin Magic Snow Cushion. There’s almost nothing in English, the information, ingredients and directions are all in Korean. On top of the box, there’s the name and the shade. The back has some basic information. Left side has ingredients on it and right side has some directions. The case of the cushion is pure black with white letters. The top of the case is slightly bigger in diameter than the bottom which makes it basically impossible to stand, it just keeps falling back. The sticker that’s covering the sponge is a little different, on the bottom side it has second layer so no stickiness touches the sponge. The sponge is white at first, not soaked with the product. Once you press in, it immediately soaks through. It’s a little dome shaped and I found that a tiny bit of the product gets on the plastic part that’s covering it. Also I feel like it’s a little different sponge than the regular ones with more pores? Not sure, maybe it’s like it just because it’s white and not soaked. The puff isn’t blue as classic air puffs, but white. It’s very bouncy, like very very bouncy and soft. I guess it makes the product blend more easily. Product There are 3 shades available 21 Light Beige, 22 Pink Beige, 23 Natural Beige. I got the shade 22 Pink Beige and it suits pretty well, although I could get the 21. But even though it’s supposed to be pink based, I found that it’s a little bit orange at first but turns into very wearable shade for me I have neutral to slight cool undertone and blends into my neck perfectly. The shade reminds me a tiny bit of my Double Lasting Foundation but not as dark. Also it doesn’t oxidize on me. It has SPF50+ PA+++ = perfection. Tho I still use my lovely sunscreen with SPF50+ PA+++ as well, just to be sure. The coverage is amazing. It has medium to high, definitely buildable. But it doesn’t feel too heavy. I didn’t have to use any concealer other than under my eyes which is very rare when I have some pimples. The finish is almost powdery. It creates dry patches around pimples. Even tho it does create dry patches, there’s no dry feeling which I have when wearing Double Lasting Foundation. It doesn’t crease as much as other cushions I have tried but with time, it starts setting into fine and smile lines. It does not emphasizes pores! Finally some cushion! It transfers only a little, no big deal. The lasting ability is better than regular cushions, it lasts for about 6 hours. After 8 hours I couldn’t wait to take it off because it looked so oily and was easily rubbed or smeared off. So definitely set with powder even during the day! Even though it stays on for 6 hours, I’d say it needs some touch ups even during the 6 hours. It started bulking up around my chin into small dots like… an hour and half after application? After around three and half hours it started separating around my nose and chin due to the sebum. Seems like every single foundation will do this. After the 8 hours, it bulked up into small dots basically everywhere. Mainly around the bridge of the nose, between my brows and on my chin. Also it kind of disappeared from the bridge of my nose? Probably just moved around into the bulked part. Overall I like this cushion and enjoy wearing it even through all the downfalls. Mainly because of the coverage. And also the longevity isn’t as bad if you powder it throughout the day. Now I’m not sure to who I should recommend this. It would be absolutely perfect for normal skin types. Oily skin types can make this work as well, just blot the sebum. For dry skin types, I’d recommend using a good moisturizer because of the patches or just buy the white version, it’s way more moisturizing. So I guess everyone can use this if you have the right attitude to it. Either way I say try it. This coverage is quite rare for cushions.

// PR SAMPLE / KBEAUTY / MAKEUP // You know that I love cushions and I have quite some in my stash, but I didn’t have a sunscreen cushion in my collection until recently. During last summer vacation, I thought that it might be nice to try a sunscreen cushion for touching up the sun protection during the day and therefore I decided to go with the Aprilskin Magic Snow Sun Cushion in a first test which was provided to me for reviewing purpose by StyleKorean. Aprilskin is a Korean natural cosmetics brand which was raved a lot about during last year, especially for their cushion foundation. The brand is fairly young and was founded in 2014, but since then has won a numerous amount of prizes for their products. All though I love cushions I didn’t buy ny of their raved cushions and so I was happy to be asked by StyleKorean and be able to choose a product from this brand. I decided for the Aprilskin Magic Snow Sun Cushion. The Aprilskin Magic Snow Sun Cushion is an ultra-lightweight sunscreen that comes in a cushion compact. It is mildly formulated, making it suitable for children and adults according to the description. Furthermore, it doesn’t leave a white cast and yet has SPF 50+ /PA+++. The UV-protection is mineral based and still, it claims to leave no white traces. As you know, sun protection has to be renewed from time to time, but I personally am quite a lazy person. I discovered that I hardly ever touch up my sun protection on my skin and a cushion would make that far easier than a tube. The Aprilskin Magic Snow Sun Cushion comes packed in a cardboard box in a light pink color. The cushion compact itself has also a nice pink pattern on the lid and looks really feminine. The description on the cardboard box is only in Korean, but Aprilskin’s official site offers an English translation, too. Here are the ingredients of the product, which I also added in COSDNA Water, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Butylene Glycol, Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid, Triethanolamine, Niacinamide, Dimethicone, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Octocrylene, Glycerin, Stearyl Alcohol, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Neopentyl Glycol Diheptanoate, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Caprylyl Glycol, Chlorphenesin, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Lavender Oil, Adenosine, Disodium EDTA, Evening Primrose Flower Extract, Blackberry Fruit Extract, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Xylitylglucoside, Xylitol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Raspberry Fruit Extract, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract, Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Extract, Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil, Tea Tree Leaf Oil, Banana Fruit Extract, Apple Fruit Extract, Pear Fruit Extract, Orange Fruit Extract, Grape Fruit Extract, Serine, Sodium Phosphate, Sodium Hydroxide, Pseudoalteromoonas Ferment Extract, Alanine, Ethylhexylglycerin, Xanthan Gum, Proline, Madecasoside I marked the sunscreens within the list in blue. Frankly, I’m no sunscreen expert. The field is so complex and until now I never had the time to really go deep into the topic. The product description says, that this cushion only uses physical sunscreen. I spot already two chemical sunscreens from looking at the list Octinoxate Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate and Avobenzone Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane….mh…that’s the first disappointment … Checking the other sunscreens I spot that Octocrylene and Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate Uvinol A Plus are chemical sunscreens, too. Commonly used physical sunscreens are Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide, but I do not spot any of these here. I’m quite confused…is this product using physical sunscreens at all?! Inside the cushion compact is the typical application sponge. In order to use the sunscreen cushion, you dab the application puff on the cushion sponge until the product is transferred. Then you dab the puff on your face in a patting motion. Don’t smear or rub it on the skin. Of course, the cushion compact comes with a mirror inside the lid, too, so it is perfect for carrying around and use it while not at home, too. Unlike cushion foundations, the sponge in the compact is not soaked with BB Cream or Foundation, but with sunscreen. Therefore the color of the sponge is white. The sunscreen has a creamy consistency. It gives a visible glow to the skin but doesn’t leave any white cast. While applying it on the skin I can feel a cooling effect of the product. The scent of it is also flowery/fresh. It contains some plant-based ingredients like Lavandula, chamomile, and tea tree oil, which create the scent of the product. I didn’t have any problems with the application of the product and it also can be touched up and layered without any further problems. Aprilskin Magic Snow Sun Cushion has a nice texture and finish, but I’m disappointed that it is not a physical sunscreen as it states on their page. I personally am not someone who refuses any chemical sunscreens, but I prefer it if the description of products are correct. As I said, I’m no sunscreen expert, so if there is anyone who can explain more about the chemicals used here I would be happy to hear about it. Let me know in the comments or write me an email/PN. Oh, and since some of the chemical sunscreens may have effects on hormones and hormonal pathways I would not use this sunscreen on children, despite its mild formulation. I received this product from StyleKorean, but they do not have it listed in their shop at the moment. They have other cushions from Aprilskin though, so have a look if you are interested. The Aprilskin Magic Snow Sun Cushion retails for US$ from Amazon. Did you try any sunscreen cushion already? If you have a favorite let me know. Oh, and what is your favorite sunscreen? I’d be interested to hear about it. Pin It! Just as a short reminder All products mentioned and reviewed on this blog are of my personal opinions.
