With summer upon us I like a little more effortless beauty routine so I can look great but also get out there and enjoy the warm weather and all the activities that go with it. I was especially excited when I found out I would be receiving the LANEIGE BB Cushion VoxBox complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes. LANEIGE products have become some of my favourites this year (as you can read here and here) but this product gives me one more reason to love them. This product provides me with all the necessary coverage, a beautifully radiant finish and  high impact sun safety.  All the details and thoughts are below. just for you BB's :)

FIRST IMPRESSION

This was my first BB cushion product as I have always been a liquid BB foundation fan. The packaging it very luxurious and high end looking. I was pleased to see when I opened the package that there is another refill included so I knew immediately that this product will last approximately as long as my other liquid foundations. The colour did intimidate me when this product arrived at my door but I could not believe how well it blended and transformed into this effortless natural finish on my skin.

HOW TO USE

1.     Apply by pressing the puff, beauty blender or brush into moistened sponge and then pat or brush onto the face.
2.     Reapply throughout the day if desired.

APPLICATION REFLECTION

Application was very easy - I personally preferred to apply it with a beauty blender or brush versus the puff for a smooth and seamless application -  it just gave me more control and I am more comfortable with those methods. Once applied it gave a nice naturally radiant finish and my skin felt soft and smooth to the touch. It does not settle into any fine lines or creases and left my skin glowing while minimizing redness and imperfections. It is light and airy but provides good coverage. I also enjoy that while is employs SPF of 50 it does not alter the consistency or leave a white cast. I tend to have normal to dry skin and this did not cling to any dry patches. It also stayed on all day and did not have any noticeable fading or separating  which is of the utmost importance to me in these sometimes sticky summer months.
