My First Cushion Compact Experience: IOPE Air Cushion XP

When I first heard of a compact with a cushion that delivers liquid foundation to yo' face, I was super intrigued.  My Korean people bringing the innovative beauty products!

After researching on the good ol' web, I decided on the Amore Pacific IOPE Air Cushion XP  in C23 (Cover Beige).  I bought it at Korean beauty store in Atlanta for about $38. You can also find it at Peach and Lily. Your compact comes with one cushion already inside it and an extra cushion refill.  For some, that could justify the $40ish price tag. ;)



One of the first things I noticed is the packaging. The royal blue and silver box that the compact comes in is so pretty (that I still have it.)

Miracle Skin Transformer

I had the unique opportunity to test Miracle Skin Transformer and wanted to share my experience using the product.

When I applied this silicone skin treatment, one of the first things I noticed was how soft my skin felt.  It had that velvety smooth primer texture to it.  The product is described as providing "weightless coverage", and I have to agree that I never felt any heaviness to my face...even when building the coverage with several applications.  I remember using the phrase "light and airy" to describe how this multi-tasking hybrid felt on my face and on my fingers.

Besides the silky smooth feeling, I loved how the treatment LOOKED on my face. Even after one application, my skin looked more evened out and gave an almost air-brushed, dewey quality to my face. It also minimized the appearance of my pores.

I think what was most striking about this product was just how CLEAN I felt using it. As I mentioned, there was no heaviness to it.  You know how you sometimes use foundation, and you feel like you have this caked, pore-clogging mess of chemicals on your skin? I didn't get this at all with the Miracle Skin Transformer. There wasn't even a scent.  I just felt like I had this healthy, hydrating formula hugging my skin.

So the above are merely my opinions about Miracle Skin Transformer. Allow me to add the extra goodies that benefit your skin:

*UVA/UVB SPF 20
*"MST Complex" - rich in natural active antioxidants and vitamins, including Saw Palmetto and Passion Fruit extracts
*organic certified Ecophysalis - natural plant extract that protects your skin from free radicals and provides anti-inflammatory and anti-photo aging protection
*contains all-natural active ingredients
*Vitamin K, Vitamin A, Vitamin E and CO Enzyme Q10 micro beads that promote cell renewal, skin firmness, and circulation
*free of petrochemicals, synthetic fragrance, parabens, dyes, wax, mineral oils and talc

Below is my before and after shot! I wanted to look up some product info for this review, and I saw my photos on their website! I wear Miracle Skin Transformer in Light.

I highly recommend Miracle Skin Transformer, especially for those of you who hate the weight of foundation on your face.  I tested out this product for the company, but I was not paid for my testimony. You can also check out the reviews from Sephora customers here!
