BB and CC cushions are all the hype right now not only in South Korea, where they originated, but the trend is also starting to spread into America as well as many other countries.
This time, I did a first impression and review of the Missha Magic Cushion.
This cushion has been gaining popularity for its claim of:
covering pores
preventing sebum
staying all day
all for the price of $10 or less!
I decided to test this out for myself.
Overall, I was not impressed with this product.
At first, it does all it says it will do, including covering pores and preventing sebum, however throughout the day it sinks into pores emphasizing more, as well as creasing in all the wrong places and caking up in others.
As I have a very oily skin type, within a few hours I already saw the foundation separating on my skin on my upper lip and nose, which just isn't a very attractive look.
The casing itself was also very cheap, and if you look closely the edges of the cushion are actually pure white, holding no foundation at all, and showing that you really do get what you pay for, since it is already really cheap.
I was expecting a lot more from this product considering all the hype, and it saddens me to say that it is honestly not worth the hype.

For people who are visiting Japan and are looking for a cute cafe to chill at for a few hours as they wait for the crowds to die down, here is an amazing little cafe in Harajuku!
The cafe's name is Reissue Coffee リシュー
and it is located in Harajuku, one of the most popular tourist areas in Japan.
The ambience of the cafe itself was quite nice, however if you plan to go with a large group I would suggest looking elsewhere, as not only is the cafe itself quite small, but it also has a very quiet and calm feel which isn't the best atmosphere for loud talking and laughing.

Once you sit down, there are three options for the latte art.
1. 3D latte art
2. Image
3. お任せ
The 3D latte art and the image (they make a flat image out of cocoa/coffee powder on top of the coffee and usually this is much more detailed than the 3D latte art) options you can request a custom design, from your own face to any creature or character you can imagine.
The 3rd option, pronounced Omakase, means that you leave the latte art up to the designer.
As designing the art takes quite a bit of time (makes sense considering each one is hand-crafted and unique per customer) we decided to order food.
My friend ordered the daily special, and I ordered curry, as well as a small tiramisu dessert, however neither of our foods were that good, so if you go to Reissue I suggest not bothering with the food.
daily special and curry. comes with soup and salad.
tiramisu and cheesecake
When our lattes came it was honestly the cutest thing I have EVER seen <3
My friend got 3D latte art of Totoro, and I requested a unicorn because who doesn't like unicorns?!
GWAAAAAAAAH
I fart rainbows.
Overall it was a very enjoyable experience and although I probably wouldn't eat the food again, I would definitely go for the coffee!

To get to Reissue, go to Harajuku Station via Yamanote Line.
Once there, go out the Takeshita exit, and head straight ahead into the most crowded street. You'll know which one it i
Walk all the way through that street until the large street and cross. Once you get across you will see this large clock made of stuffed animals and candy.
Quite a strange sight. Facing the clock head to the right of it onto the small side street and keep walking down that until you find Reissue. You should be walking for about 5 minutes max unless you walk really slow so make sure to keep an eye out for it, it will be on the left side.
