Is there meant to be a mirror in the cushion? There is what looks like a mirror in the lid but it's really cloudy - no good as a mirror

derek it's a peel off film!

Noooooo - I'm off to peel!

I am so pleased I mentioned that. I am so happy now

Haha Derek , I was the same. Took me about 2 weeks to realise it was a plastic film

Haha I only knew that because I read a thread on Reddit where someone had the same complaint

Moisturiser cream recommendations to go on before the white wine therapy sleep mask please ? Tia
Lucysmum the innisfree powder that you recommended is fab , once again thank you for a fab recommendation that works well

So now I have my fab wonder woman cushion case, do all brands of cushion refills fit in it or do I have to stick with the missha ones?

This thread is fascinating - I used to LOVE the SPF45+ BB cream from Tony Moly.

Could anyone recommend a high SPF BB cream in a compact that would be good for pale skin?

jackie I use rosette ceramide gel - I use a lot of actives and retinol so it helps with barrier repair. I use it under the white wine sleeping pack

Was lucky enough to visit this Etude House branch in Singapore last week. Spent a fortune.

Just ordered some Mizon all in one snail cream and Hyaluronic acid serum. Anyone used them before?

I've gone easy on skincare and makeup for ages but wore some Dr Jart BB cream today. I really like it. My lip has healed - it took about a month and I am able to wear lipstick again. Feels great...

Oh and Heathrow do tell us more about your purchases!

My first beautynetkorea delivery arrived today - I only ordered on November 2! Definitely trying them again.

It was a small trial run, so Holika Holika red wine pack (smells like a cross between grape juice and Calpol - nice but weird) and some royal jelly Foodaholic sheet masks.

Samples - Tonymoly panda cream, Skinfood watery berry serum, Skinfood tomato whitening toner, Tonymoly Intense Care sleeping pack.

Derek, how many things did you order for Jolse to put all those samples in...?

By the way - went away for the weekend with DH (anniversary childfree trip, squee) and put way more thought into planning my skincare packing, decanting toner and bubble cleanser and oil and sleeping pack and Uncle Tom Cobley and all into little bottles and jars than I ever did to my clothes...

Phoenix I have the AIO cream and really like it. I found it really helpful when I overexfoliated my skin.

I just went and looked up Uncle Tom Cowley, assuming it was a whimsical Korean Brand name I'd not heard of yet.

Cobley

I could cry. My wonderful wonder woman missha magic m cushion breaks me out ( I think) I've just checked on cosdna and it has avocado & olive oil in. I really do not like oils. The one time I tried the oil cleansing method it took a year + prescription meds for my skin to recover. I shall go back to the holika bb cream and see if my skin improves. I'm crying as it was perfect coverage

Does anyone use a diy cushion? I'm trying to find a cushion that I can put my own bb cream on

I'm now getting obsessed with cushions (sorry Derek). How do they compare to mineral make up?

They are lovely and give a wonderful quick airbrushed finished.
My skin looks awful at the moment. I really hope its just because of the reaction to the missha cushion and nothing else

I found some cheapie sheet masks in Primark- 80p each and full of niacinamide.

Sigh. So I've found a cushion by a'pieu which doesn't appear to have any oils in. I wonder if I should risk it. By the time it arrives my skin should have cleared up....
