I’ve never heard of this brand before but I wanted to try a cc cream that could be worn everyday w/o having to put makeup on. I bought Korean brand WELCOS MERIT’s Killing Me Zombie CC Cream from roseroseshop.com costing me only ~$8.00 excluding tax. My skin: Acne prone Combination-oily (since it’s summer) Sensitive to snail products Golden undertone Pores on cheeks and nose Skin shade in foundations: Sephora color code: 2Y07 Estee Lauder Double Wear: 3W1 Mac Face&Body foundation: C3 Makeup Forever Ultra HD Foundation: Y335 Pros: SPF 30 Blends to skin (it has color changing capsules, refer to image) Lightweight Comes with a pump

Cons: Semi-sticky finish Emphasizes dry spots (such as my acne) Thoughts: I really like this cc cream. The only cc cream I’ve ever used was Tony Moly’s Luminous Pure Aura CC cream which was way back in 2010. Of course, my skin has changed, but I like how both have color changing capsule which helps even my skin tone. I’m not too fond of the way it emphasizes my dry acne but not every product is perfect--nor is my skin :( The stickiness does not linger as long as A’pieu’s Air Fit Cushion but still leave the skin looking bright. Will I buy this again? Yes! It blends nicely to my skin and brightens my face without making me look too ghostly. It’s pretty inexpensive for a cc cream and you get a lot out of it.

I recently purchased A’pieu’s Air Fit Cushion in shade no. 23 from roseroseshop.com. I wanted to wear something light during the summer that will cover my trouble spots without having to put on my full-face makeup every day. My skin: Acne-prone Combination-oily (since it’s summer) Sensitive to snail products Pores on cheeks and nose Skin shade in foundations: Sephora color code: 2Y07 Estee Lauder Double Wear: 3W1 Mac Face&Body foundation: C3 Makeup Forever Ultra HD Foundation: Y335

Pros: Lightweight Brightening Cheap (only ~$4.50 on roseroseshop excluding tax) Has SPF 50 Mediocre coverage

Cons: Blotchy (that’s due to my skin texture however) Too pink for my undertone (Face vs. neck) Sticky Emphasizes dry spots (such as my acne) No refill (must by separately on roseroseshop) Thoughts: The title doesn’t state whether it’s a bb or a cc cushion, but after wearing it for a day, I’m pretty sure it’s a bb cushion. The coverage is not too bad; I wasn’t expecting much considering my acne is pretty active. I do like how it brightens my golden skin though. Of course, anything lighter than my skin tone will appear to make it look brighter. The SPF in the cushion is a nice bonus since I use a vitamin c serum in the morning. I don’t like the sticky feeling it leaves behind so I usually blot my face or apply some sort of finishing powder. But even with that on it only lasts about 4 hours for me before it wears off. And to no surprise, I knew the cushion will cling onto the dry skin around my acne. Will I buy this again? Probably will. I like the lightweight look w/o having to layer anything on. It’s cheap and has the SPF I need w/o having to apply that on separately. Although it’s way too light for my skin shade, I can always mix it with my foundation. It’s a good alternative while I wait to get another brand that has more shades (such as Espoir Pro Tailor Cushion EX--it has at least 8 shades!)
