LAIKOU PROTECTION CUSHION CC CREAM review
Hello there everybody! ∠( ᐛ 」∠)_
For me, personally, cushions are the greatest inventions of the beauty world. And I can't be happier if I found a cushion with a lovely (=cheap) price~ Let's get this started because this review will be GOOD! ( ◞・౪・)
What is a CC cream?
According to my experiences, CC creams has less coverage, they focus more on the "natural" feeling and thus it will NOT cover huge imperfections and spots on the skin. Yet, it will make the skin glow and erase small flaws. To be more specific, CC stands for "colour correcting" (on the other hand, BB stands for "blemish balm") which also implies to the fact that this will "correct" your skin/skintone, rather than hide everything with a high coverage cream.
Every since I started my ebay hunt for cheap cushions I always came across this Laikou brand (let me tell ya, I ordered another cushion from them!) but this cushion CC cream was new, even for me!
It has three shades, "Ivory Color", "Natural Color" and "Dark Skin Color" (<--- lmao this is a bit racist, but okayyyy) - I ordered "Natural Color" since even though I have fair skin, usually ivory colours are always closer to the actual white (I mean, white like chalk or clouds) colour than a shade of pale skintone... ( •́ .̫ •̀ )
As far as my limited Chinese knowledge knows, this is also a Chinese product, proven by the massive amount of Chinese text on the logo and the back of the product's box.
AWHHH MY, THE BOX IS ALREADY SO PRETTY, HOLOGRAPICH! (⁎⚈᷀᷁▿⚈᷀᷁⁎) My eyes love and live for this kind of light effect!
You can read about "Product Efficacy", "Product Ingredient", "Product direction" and "Apply to skin" all in Chinese! Hehe yay...! ( ᐛ )و
The sides has more Chinese text and I can actually see a warranty date, which is great! This is so far the first (cheap) product which has this kind of information on the box! Remember, folks, never use any product which has passed the warranty date!
We can also see that this has 15 g CC cream inside, which is a basic amount in the world of cushions.
I didn't take pictures of the top and the bottom sides of the box since they have nothing or it states the brand name again.
When I opened the box I found this very thick silver foil kind of little bag, which protected the actual cushion. On this, you can read the number of your colour choice, in my case, number 2.
This is so beautiful! ✾(〜 ☌ω☌)〜✾
I'm a simple person, I can be blown away by a white plastic round case with golden text on it... OTL BUT LOOK, IT ALSO HAS A GOLDEN DETAIL ALL AROUND THE OPENING OF THE LID! It is so prettyhhhh.... (◑‿◐✿)
There is no other information about the product, only it's name once again. You can't even pop out the bottom of it to change a refill since this product does NOT have any refill! If you run out if it, you need to buy a whole new one again and again.
It is not a big cushion, just as big as my palm. The mirror inside is nothing extra either but perfect for it's purpose. The sponge has the brand name on it, the case opens and closes easily.
A basic sponge for us~ It spreads the products pretty well!
The CC cream inside is protected by a sticker "shield" - and it also keeps it fresh for the first use! It was so satisfying to peel if off xD
And ta-dah! There it is, the cream we all waited for! It is soaking in a sponge, and I'll be honest, the hole to the sponge is a bit small .___. Like, the sponge is huge next to this small hole thus it is kinda funny to reach the product bUT NOTHING CAN BE PERFECT, RIGHT? It still looks pretty neat and clean! At first I was afraid the colour will be too dark for me, but nah...
It is perfect! It is really creamy yet feels light, IT DOESN'T HAVE A STRONG SMELL but it stays sticky for a long time... (T v T) It doesn't claim to have sunblock or any kind of SPF protection either so make sure to use a sunblock before applying this cushion cc cream.
BUT I REALLY LIKE THE FINISH IT GAVE TO MY SKIN! My whole complexion looks more healthy and radiant! Okay, it doesn't cover much but I love this kind of finish??? Idk why! At least my red areas and darker spots faded a lot and it looks like my skin is well hydrated! :D
- It looks this glowy for a long time but after 5-6 hours it makes me look like an oily donut, so be aware of this matter! (。≍ฺ‿ฺ≍ฺ)
- It doesn't stick into my dry spots
- I've been using it for a month and it does NOT caused any breakout or other allergic reaction!
- I honestly don't know why it is named as "PROTECTION cushion" xDD What it is protecting me from? I wonder...
The parameters:
- Name: Laikou Protection Cushion CC Cream
- Amount: 15 ml
- Where did i buy it? ebay for US $6.68
- How much was the shipping to Hungary? US $0, a.k.a FREE
- How much time did it take to arrive to Hungary? about 1 month from China
- How satisfied i am? I love it!!
- Will you re-purchase it? yes, after I tried out other cushions too:D
Thank you so much for reading this review! I hope I could give you some useful information but if you have any other question just send them down in the comment section!
See you guys later~! (*☌ᴗ☌)。*゚
Quite good cover though 0.0
ReplyDeleteagree, this type of coverage is my fave! :D
DeleteI love your blog! Thanks for helping me out to buy the right products :D
ReplyDeletePlease, don't stop posting!

thank you sooo much for this nice comment and for reading my blog! ;v; ❤
DeleteHello, which one do you prefer? This one or bio aqua? :)
ReplyDeleteXoxo
Definitely this one! This has a more natural finish and feels lighter on the skin! ^__^
DeleteI was wondering: did you felt any improvement on your skin after wearing it for a while? Did it make your face paler? I'm a little bit scared of buying korean products because their whitening advertising and I don't want my freckles to fade or my face to get pale >-<
ReplyDeletePlus: can you please do a cheap essence post? It would be really helpful, I'm struggling with my korean skincare routine :-(
About improvement: no. It is only a CC cushion which works as a light BB cream so it didn't make my skin condition worse or better... ;w;
DeleteOh my, i love freckles!! Well, the coverage is quite sheer so i think your freckles can be seen even after using this cushion! And no, it did not "whitened" my skin that way!
Most products which are advertised as "skin whitening" products are mainly focusing on creating clearer and fresher changes on the surface of the skin, erasing damanges and flaws, which can make the skin looks brighter and lighter! But they are definitely not "bleaching" out your skin tone, so don't worry about your precious freckles!
There are also creams which can make your skin look one or two shades lighter but those creams can only give you permanent whitening effect and can be washed off easily with a good cleanser! ^____^
If you want i can make a post about my skincare routine soon. It may help you out and i can give advices about affordable products!
And by the way, thank you so much for the comment!! ❤
Thank you so much for explaining it all to me! I think I'm going to buy this one as my first cushion. :-)
DeleteAnd yes!! It would be awesome if you could make a post about your skincare routine! <3
You are very welcome!! Im so grateful to your comment you cant even imagine! (; 7 ;) 💖
