REVIEW | LAPCOS X Disney Brightening CC Cushion SPF 50 + PA +++

Hi everyone!

Today I'm back with a review on the LAPCOS X Disney Brightening CC Cushion SPF 50+ PA +++ and I am in the shade 02 Natural Beige 




First things first can we take a minute and appreciate this packaging? I'm a total sucker for anything with cute packaging so I absolutely LOVE IT!


I found this gem over at Bisou Beauty Bar and it retails for $27 

Here is the description of the product from Bisou Beauty Bar's website:



Lapcos' Brightening CC Cushion with SPF 50 + PA +++ is a lightweight cushion meant to correct the color in your skin tone and give it a bright boost! You can use this cushion after skincare for light coverage, build it up or use a heavier foundation or bb cream over top.  This CC cushion has moisturizing qualities so you don't have to worry that you'll be a cakey OR oily mess!
This CC cushion comes in two colors:  Rose Ivory for lighter skin tones and Natural Beige for light to medium skin tones.

This product has a slight baby powdery type of scent to it that disappears after you apply it. 
I was quite surprised to see how much this was able to cover up! The coverage on this is unreal! I feel that you can easily get a light-medium coverage with this, and on most days where I'm strapped for time or if I'm just really lazy this easily doubles up as a concealer.

The appearance of this on the skin is nice! I find that this has a nice satin finish and it looks natural on the skin for the most part depending on how much you apply. I usually set my foundations/bb creams etc with a powder and I find that with my oily/combination skin this last about 4.5-5 hours before I feel the need to blot; After about 8 hours is when I find this starts to fade a little around my nose but on the rest of my face it still looks great!

For reference I am an NC25 in MAC and I use the shade W24 Honey Beige in the Etude House Precious Mineral Any Cushion.

I feel like this product will work best on those with dry/combo and normal skin, if you do have oily or oily/combo skin you will definitely have to set with powder and blot. 

Pros

- Good coverage
- Lightweight
- Not greasy
- Last a good amount of time 
- Doesn't accentuate dry spots

Cons

- Can't refill the product
- Only comes in two shades

FINAL THOUGHTS


This product is great for those days where you don't want to do a full face of makeup but want to look polished. It has a great buildable coverage and because it's a compact it's travel friendly and easy to throw into your purse for any touch ups on the go. This will work great for those with dry, normal, dry-combo skin, however if you do have oily skin and don't mind setting with a powder and blotting later on in the day this product will also work well for you. 


Would you repurchase this product? I will not be repurchasing this product again because I like to try out new products all the time. 


Rating 4/5
