Amaze Hera Uv Mist Cushion

Today, the outset installment of my Korean haul.

The photos are less than perfect, because I had to role my phone. As I've mentioned on IG, my dearest photographic television receiver camera is no to a greater extent than (happened inwards Korea, actually) as well as a novel i volition instruct hither inwards 2 weeks. And if I hold off for 2 weeks to start blogging virtually what I bought, I'll never weblog virtually it. Because I'm lazy.

Dzis na blogu pierwszy z moich koreanskich lupow.
Zdjecia robione telefonem, bo jak juz pokazywalam na instagramciu, moj starenki apart odszedl exercise krainy wiecznego pstrykania. H5N1 nowy bedzie dopiero za dwa tygodnie. H5N1 jak bede czekac przez dwa tygodnie, zeby opisywac moj koreanski haul, to nigdy instruct nie opisze. Bo jestem smierdzacym leniem.

Przed wyjazdem exercise Seulu zrobilam sobie bardzo dokladna liste, tego, co chcialam kupic. Lista byla przemyslana, przeguglowana i zdecydowana. I jedna z pozycji na mojej liscie bylo: cushion.
Napalilam sie na te nieszczesne BB cushions jak szczerbaty na suchary. Mialam ich na mojej liscie kilka: Ohui, Sulwhasoo, Iope, Laneige, Amore Pacific i sum:37. Nie wszystkie na raz, tylko takie, ktore z tej listy yesteryear mi pasowaly. Wiec jak to sie stalo, ze exercise domu przywiozlam cushion marki Hera? (Plus Sulwhasoo, ale o tym nastepnym razem.)

Before my trip to Seoul I prepared a real detailed shopping listing of what I wanted to buy. I needed a listing to avoid impulse spending, because fifty-fifty though impulse spending is a lot of fun, I don't have got a wealthy husband. Sadly. So, my listing was real carefully stance out, googled out as well as decided on. And i of the items on the listing was: "BB cushion".
I got such BB cushion fever that inwards the procedure I forgot I had exclusively i face. On my listing at that spot were cushions yesteryear Ohui, Sulwhasoo, Iope, Laneige, Amore Pacific as well as sum:37. Hopefully non all of them (see the wealthy hubby disclaimer above) at the same time, but those that would live a proficient gibe for me. So what the heck happened that I'm telling yous virtually a cushion yesteryear Hera? (I also got a Sulwhasoo, every bit an afterthought).

Nie lubie firmy Hera. Sama nazwa mnie odpycha. H5N1 ich produkty zapychaja. Wiec po cholere mi ta cushion?
Ano... jak sie okazalo, znalezienie odpowiedniego odcienia dla takiego bladziocha jak ja, nie bylo wcale takie proste.
Pani w stoisku Ohui powiedziala prosto z mostu, ze mi zadnej z ich cushions nie sprzeda, bo widzi jasno i wyraznie, ze nawet najjasniejszy odcien jest dla mnie za ciemny.
Podobnie bylo przy innych stoiskach. W Amore Pacific patrzyli sie na mnie jak na ufoluda. Pani powiedziala, ze jestem chyba najbielsza biala osoba, jaka kiedykolwiek zdarzylo jej sie spotkac.
Bycie corka mlynarza to jeszcze politico biedy. Ja jestem swinska corka mlynarza, zamiast odcieniow zoltych i bezowych, mam rozowe, wiec na co dzien wygladam jak zadowolone z zycia prosie. Ale tylko i wylacznie na twarzy. Moja szyja juz ma odcien zolci. Wiec jakiekolwiek cuda makijazowe musza byc bardzo starannie i neutralnie dobrane.

I don't similar Hera. The hollo itself turns me off as well as their products brand me intermission out. So why the heck did I purchase a Hera cushion?
Ha! It turned out that finding a sufficiently calorie-free cushion, fifty-fifty inwards a white-skin obsessed Korea, wasn't every bit slow every bit I'd imagined.
The Ohui lady said apartment out she wasn't going to sell me whatever of their cushions, because they were all also dark. The even out repeated itself at other counters. At Amore Pacific they looked at me amongst speak disbelief as well as said I was the whitest white someone they had e'er seen.
I don't heed existence white, but existence white as well as pinkish at the same fourth dimension is a problem. And spell my confront has pinkish undertones, my cervix is to a greater extent than yellow. So it's slow to imagine how carefully I must consider all makeup purchases. And belike that's why I loathe icon my face. It's also much operate to gibe all the undertones.

W desperacji podeszlam exercise stoiska Hery. Tam dwie panie bardzo sprawnie wziely mnie w obroty i zaczely myziac, najpierw po rece, potem po przedramieniu i na koniec, w akcie rozpaczy - po twarzy. Az w koncu jedna z nich poszla po rozum exercise glowy i zamiast cushions kryjacych wziela najjasniejsza tonujaca i alleluja! Zaczelam wygladac jak czlowiek.

In desperation I walked over to the Hera counter. Two ladies sat me downward as well as started to swatch, pat, blend as well as schmear, outset my hand, thus my arm, as well as thus - because at that spot was nowhere else for them to instruct - my face. And of course, everything they tried was also dark.
Finally, i of them got a bright stance to endeavour a toning cushion, instead of a roofing type. And ohmyHolymotherofBatman! It worked.

Kolor, ktory mi podpasowal to N13, czyli naturalna zimna kosc sloniowa, najjasniejszy kolor w ofercie herowskich cushionow.
Seria northward to kolor naturalny, seria C to kolory exercise krycia, i te dziela sie na "Cover Tone" (kryjace) i "Long Stay Tone" (dlugotrwale). Jest jeszcze kolor S22, gdzie "S" znaczy "shimmer", czyli jak ktos potrzebuje blasku 100-watowki na twarzy, to ta cushion bedzie idealna.
Tutaj rozpiska wszystkich dostepnych kolorow:

N13 Cool Ivory Natural is what I have. As yous tin see, the northward serial is labeled every bit "natural". Then yous have got the C series, of which at that spot are 2 types: Cover Tone as well as Long Stay Tone. There is also something called S22 - Shimmery Vanilla. I approximate to live used when yous demand to human face similar a highlighted lightbulb. 


W sklad zestawu w pudelku wchodzi kompakt:
Inside your box yous volition uncovering a fancy schmancy compact:

I dodatkowy refill:
And a refill packet:

Jak widac pelna nazwa produktu to "UV Mist Cushion", czyli mgielkowa poduszka, albo jakos tak.
As yous tin encounter the total hollo of the production is UV Mist Cushion blahblahblah...

Ale tworcy ulotki wewnatrz pudelka musieli miec niezly ubaw piszac:
The copywriters at Hera are real talented individuals, indeed, if they could come upwards up amongst such wonders:

Huh? Clay from frozen ocean H2O ice which is finer than fog particles? Biorac pod uwage, ze mgla to po prostu forma wody, czyli H2O, naprawde chcialabym sie dowiedziec czegos wiecej o tej glince, ktora ma byc delikatniejsza niz molekuly wody.
Come again? Clay from frozen ocean H2O ice which is finer than fog particles? I was taught (and I fifty-fifty had to cheque it on wiki, exactly to live sure) that fog is naught else but a shape of H2O. So I am real curious virtually this clay that is supposedly finer than a particle of water.

Albo po prostu copywriterzy u Hery zakladaja, ze kobiety sa zbyt tepe, aby sie takimi szczegolami przejmowac.
Or perchance their copywriters exactly assume that women are also stupid to know the deviation anyway.

Jak otworzymy kompakt, to zobaczymy to:
We opened upwards the compact as well as encounter this:

Jest lustereczko, jest gabeczka z inicjalem, pelen wypas.
There's a mirror, at that spot is a monogrammed puff, all every bit it should be.

Jak podniesiemy gabeczke i otworzymy wewnetrzna pokrywke, to ujrzymy to:
When nosotros elevator the puff as well as opened upwards the inner lid, nosotros encounter this:

Zawartosc zabezepieczona naklejka.
The contents are sealed for your protection.

Pod naklejka juz to, co nas najbardziej interesuje:
We peel off the seal as well as finally, this is what we've been wanting to encounter all along:

Wyglada niesamowicie ciemny, ale na skorze prezentuje sie jasniutko.

I tutaj w koncu widac, dlaczego nazywa sie to to "cushion", czyli poduszka.
Bo to wlasnie co tutaj mamy - miekka, nasaczona podkladem, poduszke.

Aby nalozyc kolorek na twarz, potrzebujemy gabeczke. Gabeczka ta wyglada mi na plaska mutacje Beauty Blendera, i ma dokladnie takie samo zadanie - aby pieknie rozprowadzic kolorek na skorze.

It looks real night inwards the compact, but i time on the skin, its truthful shade is revealed. 
And here, nosotros tin finally encounter why this wonder is called a "cushion". Because this is what nosotros have got hither - a soft, saturated amongst foundation, cushion.
To apply the product, nosotros demand a puff (sponge), which looks similar a apartment mutation of i of the many Beauty Blender clones. And its project is the same - to distribute the production on the skin.

Przyciskamy gabeczka na poduszeczce i mamy to:
We press the sponge gently onto the cushion, as well as voila!

No i sru na pyszczek. Poklepac, rozprowadzic i gotowe. Przynajmniej wedlug obietnic producenta.
And we're cook to paint. All nosotros demand to exercise is to dab, blend as well as human face lovely. At to the lowest degree according to the promises of the geniuses at Hera.

H5N1 jak sie prezentuje 10 odcien na skorze?
Twarzy Wam pokazywac nie bede, bo i tak nie potrafilabym zrobic dobrego zdjecia. Wiec dla ulatwienia sobie zycia, myzialam sie po przedramieniu.

And how does it human face on the skin?
I won't demo yous my face, because I wouldn't live able to accept a proficient photograph anyway. So, inwards social club to proceed it simple, stupid, I dabbed as well as blended on my arm.

Celowo nie obrysowywalam miejsca gdzie nalozylam podklad, aby bylo widac granice. Nalozylam tez podklad na 10 pieprzyk, ktory w rzeczywistosci jest koloru bardzo ciemnobrazowego. Wniosek z tego taki, ze pomimo oficjalnego braku krycia w serii N, to jednak troche kryje. Z obietnic tonujacych i wyrownujacych wywiazuje sie znakomicie.

Purposely, I didn't describe a describe to a greater extent than or less the expanse where I applied the foundation, thus yous tin encounter the edge easily. Also, this blemish is inwards fact quite dark. Dark brownish I'd say. Here yous tin encounter it covered amongst a layer of Hera. So fifty-fifty though technically, I shouldn't human face much coverage from my N13, it did a pretty proficient project eve out the complexion. Those promises of the manufacturer were fulfilled.

Wyglada bardzo naturalnie, tak jak wlasna cera, tylko lepsza. Naprawde nawet przy bardzo duzym zblizeniu trudno zauwazyc, ze cos na skorze jest. Wiec moze te molekuly mniejsze od wody to jednak nie bajka? Ciort wie.

It looks real natural, exactly similar my ain skin, but better. Even genuinely closed upwards it's difficult to encounter that there's something on the skin. So perchance that even out virtually particles finer than H2O is realy true? Who the heck knows...

Wszystko pieknie, tylko niestety nie na dlugo.

Po pierwsze, to dziadostwo schnie tak dlugo, ze juz myslalam, ze sie okoce.
Po drugie, nalozone wedlug wskazowek producenta, wyglada pieknie przez godzine, lub dwie, a potem zamienia sie w nieestetyczna katastrofe.

All is well, but non for long.
First, this materials dries long plenty for me to nativity a baby. And second, when applied according to the directions inwards the package, it survives on the confront for perchance an hour, or two.

H5N1 jakie to sa te wskazowki producenta? Ano takie:
And what are the directions? Here they are:

Mamy nakladac 10 podklad wtedy, kiedy normalnie nakladalybysmy filtr przeciwsloneczny. To juz jest pierwsza bzdura, bo w ilosciach w jakich nakladamy 10 produkt, to zaoferuje on nam zadnej ochrony przed sloncem. Pomimo tego, ze chwali sie tym, iz posiada SPF50+ i PA+++.

I chyba zadna Azjatka na ta bujde nie pojdzie, bo wie, ze filtru trzeba uzywac w znacznie wiekszych ilosciach niz delikatne pacanie sie gabeczka.

Ale co mi tam, sprobowalam wedlug zalecen. Utrwalilam sypkim pudrem. Przez pierwsze dwie godziny wygladalo cudownie. W okolicach lunchu po prostu zaczelo mi to to znikac w twarzy. Pod koniec dnia nie bylo juz tam nic.

This made no feel to me whatsoever, because considering the miniscule quantities of this materials that nosotros are putting on our face, it only can't offering whatever existent Sun protection. That it boasts of SPF50+ as well as PA+++ is exactly a marketing gimmick. 
As whatever Asian adult woman tin tell you, to live protected from the sun's harmful rays, yous demand a lot to a greater extent than than a frail pat amongst a puff. You demand to apply sunscreen. 

But, what the heck, I tried according to the instructions. I used Laura Mercier loose pulverization to laid this business. And for virtually an hr or 2 it looked gorgeous. Around tiffin it started to disappear from my face. And when I came dorsum abode from work, at that spot was naught left on my face.

Nastepnego dnia sprobowalam, tak jak Bozia przykazala, na baze (uzylam mojej ukochanej Chacott). Choc kazdy z filtrow, ktore posiadam, twierdzi, ze dzialaja i rowniez jako baza, to jednak u mnie to sie jeszcze nie sprawdzilo.

Poczekalam az Chacott wysechl i wtedy zaczelam pacac sie Hera.
Calosc przysypalam sypkim pudrem Laury Mercier.

I w takiej kolejnosci twarzy wytrzymala niemal przez caly dzien. Niemal, bo okolo three po poludniu musialam sie poprawic, co przy podkladach, ktore zazwyczaj uzywam, mi sie nie zdarza.

The side yesteryear side twenty-four hours I used, exactly similar the gods intended us to do, outset a proper base of operations (I used my dearest Chacott), as well as thus on altitude of that, I applied this cushion foundation. Again, I laid everything amongst Laura Mercier loose powder.
When applied inwards this order, my confront lasted for almost eight hours. Almost, because I had to acquit on it upwards to a greater extent than or less 3pm, which is unheard of amongst the regular foundations that I use.

Czyli, jaki jest moj werdykt?

Ciezko powiedziec. Ale chyba raczej za Hera nie przepadam, wlasnie ze wzgledu na nedzna trwalosci.
Za 45 dolarow oczekiwalabym czegos lepszej jakosci. Ale w sumie to srednia polka i dostalam produkt sredniej jakosci.
Ani on zly, ani on dobry. Taki sobie, po prostu sredni.

Mam jeszcze cushion Sulwhasoo, wyprobuje juz wkrotce.

So... what is my lastly verdict?
Hard to say. But I'm all the same non a fan of Hera, primarily due to the hapless lasting ability of their products. For 45 dollars I'd human face something a flake better. But thus again, this is a mid-range production offering mid-range quality.
It's non bad, it's non good. Simply, average.

Next calendar week I'll endeavour my novel Sulwhasoo cushion. Let's encounter how that volition go...

PS. H5N1 co robimy jak gabeczka jest juz cala uswiniona?
Ja swoja "wypralam" w plynie exercise czyszczenia pedzli z Daiso.

PS. And what exercise nosotros exercise amongst a dingy sponge? I washed mine using the famous sponge cleaner liquid from Daiso. It worked ok.
