Cushion foundations, totally my thing.
Thi...Ahhh... Cushion foundations, totally my thing.<br />This L'Oreal will go on sale in Japan next weekend, I think. Or the week after, or somesuch.<br />I am really hesitant to buy it.<br />It's made in China. So, it cost next to nothing to manufacture.<br />And I have this thing about stuff that is made in China. Living in Asia gives my paranoia a slightly different take on things. Yes, I know L'Oreal is a big company and should afford stellar quality control. But China is China. Even the biggest of foreign companies have problems when manufacturing in China is involved.<br /><br />Second, if the colors are going to be anything like the Lancome cushion fiasco - two shades of dark and darker orange for the Asian market, this is not going to be worth my money. <br />Korean companies seem to understand that light skin is in. Laneige released No 11 Light Beige for their cushion. Iope is trying to go lighter, too. <br />But the stuff made for the Japanese market is firmly in the "here, have some orange spackle with your foundation".<br /><br />Anyway, we shall see.<br />I'll go to the drugstore, fondle it a bit and decide what to do. Either way, I'll take some photos. <br /><br />Have a great week!2catsinjapanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14316120450874485137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-46596832813894120802015-08-09T05:21:30.849-07:002015-08-09T05:21:30.849-07:00Count me in too 😍Count me in too 😍Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08656212886053000162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-91513699925262347212015-08-08T05:16:05.368-07:002015-08-08T05:16:05.368-07:00I'm just hoping they'll have darker shades...I'm just hoping they'll have darker shades since even the laniege cushion stopped selling the "dark" shade which is still a little light for me.DChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05152950804655005577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-7218588083123834572015-08-07T19:31:39.820-07:002015-08-07T19:31:39.820-07:00I'm kind of obsessed with Korea beauty product...I'm kind of obsessed with Korea beauty products and make up trends right now so the possibility of this is exciting.

I love the way you not only share info but also supply links for more info (especially for people like me who aren't very familiar with this type of product). <br /><br />The great thing about L'Oreal possibly bringing this here is that other companies will jump on that bandwagon, too. Which might mean a thorough G review! It's a win-win!MoonlightElegiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12921318727378675854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-1755372550041728132015-08-04T21:17:12.481-07:002015-08-04T21:17:12.481-07:00That's the one I was going to mention.

And I'm not surprised it broke you out....it was very oily and had lots of silicones. <br /><br />I think that product could be considered a precursor to the current cushion compacts, but not the same. The Almay was designed to be touched with your fingertips, so it didn't come with an accompanying puff like the new versions. And the formulas are probably a lot different as well. :) G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16658662222451658254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-61095738503880609612015-08-04T20:05:46.496-07:002015-08-04T20:05:46.496-07:00Lol!!

Do you think these cushions are similar, or is this a totally new thing?
