Erborian is one of those brands I just adore, it is exciting, it is new and different, it is a little bit quirky and it does amazing make up - especially the PP Creme which I adore. So landing on my mat is a new product which is called the cushion BB Creme and if you like original, I don't see any reason why you wouldn't like this, cushion products seem to be all over the show right now, so I am glad to see Erborian on the case. I am a big fan of the original BB Creme, so I was excited to give this a try, more so because it arrives in a small little compact, meaning less room taken up in my handbag.

Erborian say that this BB Cushion creme will help to enhance the complexion and immediately moisturize your skin and the formula provides sheer coverage and helps to:
1. Even out skin tone
2. Conceal the appearance of flaws
3. Soften the visible signs of aging
4. Provide a feeling of freshness and instant moisture
5. Give a baby skin effect
Unsurprisingly this product is packed full of amazing skincare ingredients which are known for their antioxidant and hydrating properties and others which have soothing benefits such as Ginseng, liquorice, yam and kigella africana. There is also the inclusion of horsetail which is known to help strengthen the skins barrier functions.
I really like the formula of this BB Creme, it isn't sticky or tacky on the skin and once applied my skin feels so smooth the touch and instantly fresh feeling. I have shade Clair which is the lightest of the two shades (the other being Golden) and it is a perfect match for my light skin tone. On the skin, whilst it isn't entirely weightless, it feels no different to having applied a tinted moisturiser or BB Creme but the big difference for me is how it makes my skin feel - moisturised and I find I don't need to use as much as I would do with a foundation because the coverage is pretty darn good.
My only issue with the compact is the sponge applicator, I am yet to get to grips with it properly and currently prefer to use my stippling brush to apply, but I haven't quite given up on the sponge yet and feel that as it is part of the product, it is there for a reason.
The Erborian Cushion BB is a QVC exclusive and it will be priced at £26.50 when it launches. Designed for all skin types, this is a product well worth waiting for and is like skincare and makeup all rolled into one, perfect for the Erborian brand and if you are yet to discover them, do so, it is amazing.

I like the look of the ingredients in this. The only thing I've never liked about sponge applicator foundations are the sponges holding onto bacteria etc, it always puts me off. xo
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of this brand before but I love BB creams so will have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteoooh that looks really interesting! I've never tried a foundation like this http://maybemayhemmakeup.blogspot.com.au/
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of this brand before, I am always wary about trying new products on my skin as I hate that claggy feeling you can sometimes get, but this sounds like it could be perfect for me x
ReplyDeleteThis product seems to be amazing, I love when makeup takes care of our skin and got natural components, I may try it! Thanks for sharing! xx

I haven't heard of them before, but I love the look of this product. Aside from how good the actual product sounds I really like the packaging. I wonder if the sponge applicator makes any difference to the look, would love to know. x
ReplyDeleteI've never heard about this brand before but being sucker for the cute packaging, I love its packaging. I might pass it down due to the fact that I love full coverage foundations. x
ReplyDeleteI've always avoid brands like this as you don't really know too much about them. Although from your review it looks pretty good!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried one with a sponge applicator as always use my fingers - guess this would be much better for my skin than dragging it on.
ReplyDeleteI've not heard of a cushion compact before! Nor the brand actually!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this brand, but it looks good. I love a good BB cream xx
ReplyDeleteI am too scared to try foundation with a sponge applicator! Even though i love my bb but i am too scared of using applicators like these!
ReplyDeleteBut i love how you said its needs less mosturiser. I feel a lot of mosturiser washes my makeup away too soon!
This sounds like a really helpful creme to have for the routine. Hopefully there is a way to use the sponge effectively.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds lovely! I wish this was available in the states - it's hard to find a good BB cream that doesn't irritate my sensitive skin!
ReplyDeleteI'm in need of a new compact so will check this unique BB one out thanks for sharing

Love the size of the compact and that its small enough for a clutch bag! We'll definitely be looking into this!
ReplyDeleteI haven't used a cushion product yet because I'm not quite convinced on them but I hear so much about them I should try them x
ReplyDeleteI've not heard of this before, sounds very effective though.
ReplyDeleteNever seen BB cream in this form, looks really interesting!
ReplyDeleteBB creams are so good for summer - this one looks nice x
ReplyDeleteI always prefer to use my own brushes on products like this too - can never get to grips with the sponges/applicators!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of Erborian but I am yet to find a good BB cream so this might be the lucky winner!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a good call to use the brush - you'll get a better finish and it's far easier to keep a brush clean.
ReplyDeleteI like the way it looks on your skin. Amazing packaging too.
ReplyDeleteOMG what a lovely product, I have never actually tried a BB creme before so I am really curious.
ReplyDeleteI still haven't tried any cushion compact yet! Very interesting product.
ReplyDeleteOoh another new brand I haven't tried- thanks for introducing me! I havent tried any cushion foundations yet but I like the idea of them xxx
ReplyDeleteI'd not heard of this brand before. I'll have to investigate them a little further! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteso many cushion products are coming out! ive never liked bb creams :(
ReplyDeleteOh wow that looks so unusual! I love the look of it but I'm not sure if I would switch from my brushes...
ReplyDeleteLove the sound of this, I need to try some cushion products asap x
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of this before. It looks and sounds great. It looks so quick and easy to use too :)
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this brand before. I've been using a maybelline bb cream so may give this one a try once I've finished that x
ReplyDeleteOh I have never heard of this before xx
ReplyDeleteNot heard of this but it looks fab
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a really nice product although I'm not sure about the sponge. I tend to avoid sponges.
ReplyDeleteI have to say I have never heard of this brand before reading this post but I am very intrigued - there products sound really good quality and going to try and pick up some
