I let BBcosmetic take the wheel and send me whatever they wanted reviewed rather than picking something specific. Normally I would have picked some more skincare that I probably don’t need, so I’m glad I let them send me what they wanted since I feel like I need to up my makeup game and get out of my comfort zone.

The Faux Designer Cushion Compacts
Most of TheFaceShop’s collabs are for ridiculously cute designs featuring mickey mouse etc. But these designer bag inspired cushions feed directly into my consumer lust. The Little canvas bag which holds the cushion was made is Los Angeles and gives us the inspiration for the line
My Other Bag is a whole other brand… I didn’t know… I was too distracted by the designer swag
From their website:
One fine day in sunny Los Angeles, California a designer handbag junkie found herself walking out of a grocery store with an arm full of perishables and a burning question: “if I don’t want to stuff my produce in my Prada, where can I find a stylish, Eco-conscious reusable bag?” Underwhelmed with her options, she took it upon herself to create My Other Bag: a line of Eco-friendly, sustainable tote bags playfully parodying the designer bags we love, but practical enough for everyday life.
“Because every girl needs the perfect other bag.”
I thought it was pretty fun that a Korean Brand would hook up with an Eco-Conscious LA Brand. I feel like My Other Bag products would make fun gifts too. But back to makeup
My skin type
- Dry Skin
- Non- Sensitive (literally have not reacted to hundreds of products over the course of my lifetime)
- Concerns
- blackheads around the chin and on nose
- The occasional pimple
- inhibiting wrinkle formation
- preventing cancer
My Makeup preference
- I like to use CC cream everyday as a light makeup
- For photos I prefer to use a BB cream or foundation
- Since I have dry skin I look for hydrating formulas
- I prefer gel primers to silicone primers

- Instructions and Ingredients on the Inside
Normally I don’t go for oil control anything since I’m a dry skin person and I need all the oil and moisture I can get. So you can imagine I was a little nervous about reviewing this. I was worried that it would dry out my skin and/or look cakey.
First Impressions
The cushion itself is very full. I wouldn’t say it was leaking but it definitely comes with a lot of product (says 15g on the tag)
Doesn’t have any extra scent, but basically smells like any other BB cream/foundation. Dat makeup smell
You will definitely feel the swag when you take this out to put your face on
And like most other cushions it lasts a year after opening but you’ll go though it much faster than that
Wearability
A medium coverage BB, I’m wearing it on the left side of my face (or right side of the image) below. You can see how a lot of my freckles disappear with this BB
What surprised me was how not drying it was AND that it has a Matte finish. I’ve never had a BB cream give me a matte finish before. And it lasts. I can usually get about 8hrs out of this BB before it starts to look a little shiny. I would definitely recommend this BB cream to someone who prefers a matte finish. And because I find comparing the BB to other brands and shades is useful for me, I figure why not keep up the trend. Who I’m comparing my other bag to:
- MAC Mineralize in NW18
- IOPE C21
- Missha Perfect Cover in 23 & 27
Blended out
With Flash I think the powdery finish is more accentuated
Ingredients
Luckily this cushion lists ingredients in both English and Korean on the little tag, so I input the English version into CosDNA
