Hi guysss!

I have a super exciting news for all Surabayan : Rollover Reaction has arrived! And beware, for now they will only be here for about a month (14th May - 9th of June!) so if you've been super curious about this awesome local brand with cult following, this is the time for you to be able to touch and play with their products in person before making your decision on which of their 60 (yes, they have about 60 different products in their collection already!) products you want to have in your life (and trust me, you'd WANT them in your lives!) - head to Tunjungan Plaza 3, 5th floor (in front on the foodcourt) now now now!


Rollover Pop Up Surabaya 14th May - 9th June 2019 Tunjungan Plaza 3, 5th Floor Open Everyday 10.00 - 22.00

I had the utmost special privilege to visit the store and experience it on their first day and boy, was it fun!

The Pop Up store itself is very very pretty and chic, you definitely can't miss it because it's so eye catching!

Since they have so many products in their wings already, they have began categorizing the products :

Face : which includes their new products, the cushion! I'm sure you've heard all the buzz about their cushion and how good it is - it's actually THAT good! If you want to learn more about the cushion just keep on reading because i have a little first impression/quick review below. Btw, do you know that they don't only have makeup but also self-care, there are face mist and face wipes??? Other products in in this category includes blusher, bronzer and highlighter

Eyes : they have eye tint and brow mascara in this category. Another thing that i learned about Rollover Reaction in this pop up store is the fact that their brand is created with the concept of "beauty on the go", all of their products are designed to be able to be used quickly and can be applied with only your fingers! I loveee brands who have a strong concept like this ^^, they definitely know what they are doing!

And ofc, the products where everything started : lips! I remember the day they first arrived in the beauty world with their famous lip cream ^^! Now they have added lip crayon, lip stain and even lip balm in their collection!

In this pop up store you can swatch all of their products to your heart's desire and avoid any disastrous online purchases, now you can know how exactly the shade of the lip cream you are buying ^^. And yes, for die hard long time fans, they ofc have brought Maxwell (their all time best selling shade) which is a limited edition with limited stock to Surabaya!

If you are huge makeup lover like yours truly, i'm sure you'd have the desire to buy multiple shades and all :p. If you decided to splurge and get a full line, you will automatically be eligible to get their special set package :

So... aesthetically... pleasing... I can't take it T.T

These sets are also super fitting for presents as they actually come with greeting card as well, super special!

Anddd, not only you can get to experience their products in person, but in the pop up store you can also enjoy many activities and special promotions! Like...

Pssst, they have a Snap & Share promo where you will get 5% off if you take a pic there, share it on Instagram, tag their Instagram @rollover.reaction and use #RolloverPopUpSBY

More promo? Well, if you buy any product here, you will also get a free shipping voucher for your next online purchase! You can also fill a survey form and get a chance to win Lucky Draw, the prize is 1 set of Eye Tint Les Bijoux!

And if you have already shopped with minimum purchase of IDR1 million, you can spin the Wheel of Prize and get free products :

Don't worry, there's no zonk option :)). Spin anyhow and you'd win something for sure, but the size of the prize is totally depending on your luck :p

As the pop up store will be around for the remainder of Ramadan, they actually have another very special promotion on different products at 4-7 pm! That'd be the best time to drop by ofc, but for the date please stay tune on their Instagram @rollover.reaction.

Oh don't worry, i haven't forgotten about my promise to tell you more about their cushion!

I got Rollover Reaction's Cushion Compact SPF 27 Tinted Moisturiser from the Pop Up Store and i have been using it every day now!

Rollover Reaction's Cushion Compact SPF 27 Tinted Moisturiser - 15g , IDR 195,000

Rollover Reaction's Cushion is available in 3 shades to match Indonesian's skin tones : 101 Custard Tart for fair skin with neutral undertone, 102 Honey Toast for olive skin with yellow undertone and 103 Milk Tea for dark skin with warm yellow undertone

Comes in a beige box with complete information on how to use and the ingredient list as well

My shade, is ofc, 101 Custard Tart

I absolutely loveeee the packaging! It's beige and black, weighty and feels super high quality

You can't tell me this doesn't make you think "high end"!

The packaging is seriously high quality and secure, you'd feel safe to bring it around and even on your travels.

Wearing the cushion from Rollover Reaction as my base makeup for this look

Honestly most local base makeup tend to be a little too yellow for me, but i am super happy that Custard Tart is pretty much a perfect match for my skin, i mean... You can see it yourself from the photo above.

Rollover Reaction calls their cushion a tinted moisturizer with satin finish (which is the perfect combination of dewy and matte that works for all skin types) so the coverage is low to medium (buildable) - but i personally think the coverage is very good already! It can cover all of my uneven skin tone and little skin imperfections, i only needed to apply a tiny amount of concealer to help it conceal the one zit that i am having at the moment :)).

The cushion contains SPF 27 with hyaluronic acid to give your skin a healthy dose of hydration, protect from UV rays as well as moisturizing and minimizing wrinkles - this is making the cushion perfect for everyday use. Plus, it comes with antimicrobial ruby cell puff, which is the puff that can prevent bacteria and won't smell!

I love love LOVE this cushion (this is big coming from the girl who was never keen on cushions before)! It is very easy and fast to use, just tap tap tap (tips : when you are using cushion, always do the tapping motion. Don't drag! You will get a good result in no time if you tap tap tap!) and you'd end up with flawless, smooth finish! As it has a soft satin finish, it gives your skin a very healthy look . If you have normal to dry skin, it will would awesome on its own, but as i have a very oily skin, i have to set it with some powder and then i am ready to go!

Another thing that i absolutely love about this cushion? It's fragrance free! Meaning there is no added fragrance that irritate your skin or gives you any skin reaction. As someone with sensitive skin, i am very thankful for this!

With their fast and easy to use cushion, Rollover Reaction wants us to #GetEnhanced as it is made to cover unwanted discoloration or simply even out the overall skin tone in a short amount of time. No more "i have no time" excuses to look decent with them!

Although i have personally only been using the cushion for a handful of times, every time i use it i actually wear it for pretty much the whole day so i think i definitely have formed a solid opinion on it and yes, i love it! It is perfect for my everyday use (and even for events as it has more than enough coverage that i need) coz it feels light and kind to my skin (no clogged pores or whatsoever). For very oily skin like me, i do need to blot a few times during the day (not more than usual though) but as long as i set it right, it would still look good even after 8 hours!

Based on that experience, ofc i will continue to wear it (and bring it on my travels) and i am also confident enough to recommend it to you all!

I am super stoked with my experience with my first product from Rollover Reaction so i definitely would want to try out a lot more of their products in the future!

As for you, have you tried any products from Rollover Reaction? If you have and you got some product recommendation from them that i should try next, please do drop them in the comment section below.

And don't forget to drop by their Pop Up Store before it's too late!

Basic-O-Base 10 : Superface Zoom In Mesh Cushion in Shade 00 Fair

beauty

Hi my dears!

You know i don't use a lot of cushions because i prefer to use classic BB Creams that comes in a tube (for daily use) or foundations (for special events), but i definitely cannot deny that Cushions have their own charm (especially those uber cute packagings when it comes to Korean cushions!) and they are oh-so-convenient to bring to travel so yeah, they are still a must have for me even though i wouldn't consider it a staple for my everyday life.

The hottest cushion in the beauty community right now? I would say, without a doubt to be Superface Zoom in Mesh Cushion.

Superface Zoom In Mesh Cushion

Now i honestly don't know much about the brand Superface (it is a relatively new but HOT brand) itself other than the fact that it is made in Korea and their Mesh Cushion is a hit *LOL*. Upon receiving this product, i did some research and learnt that the brand was founded by two award winning commercial TV producers, Larry Shiu and Jung Son from Shooting Gallery in Hong Kong. They have worked with super stars like Zhang Zi Yi and Fan Bing Bing (who is my forever girl crush) among others and they made sure that their products are good enough to be used in films with movie stars, that's why their products all perform superbly and also easy to apply.

Before i got my hands on the actual cushion, i already heard a lot about this product, how it is one of the rare cushions that works for South East Asian skins (which are more likely to be yellow toned - although personally i have a very cold undertone myself), how it's good to reduce redness and also gives you a healthy, glowy complexion so yeah - i was pretty excited to give it a try myself.

Superface Zoom In Mesh Cushion comes with a free refill!

A bit of product knowlege (courtesy of Charis), but it's in Bahasa so imma translate a little bit for my International readers.

It claims to be able to cover acnes, acne scars, redness and spots, to be light and soft, suitable for Asian's yellow toned skin, works well under tropical climate's heat and humidity with SPF 50 PA++ protections, gives dewy finishing and comes with a bonus refill

You can use the product daily after your skin care routine, it works as Sunscreen so you don't even need to use a separate one (i love this :D). It is a 3-in-1 product as it works as a sunblock, makeup base and foundation. Don't forget to always close your product after using to ensure the hygiene and freshness of your product.

Their Herbal 7 Complex Super Healing ingredients works to moisturize and calm your skin, with mung bean and oat extract to control sweat and oil as well as finishing cotton pit to ensure your makeup looks fresh without feeling sticky

Now let's get on with my experience with it!

Superface Zoom In Mesh Cushion comes in a bright yellow box that's quite bulky in size

They have three shades and as i have very fair skin with pink undertone, i decided to get 00 Fair. If you have yellow undertone, go for 01 Light!

Informations on the product can be found on the box

Delighted to find the You Are Super line in the sleeve of the box, definitely a mood booster!

Each cushion contains 12gr worth of product and you still get one free refill!

The packaging is awesome! I love everything about it. From the bright and popping yellow color, to the cool and very distinctly Korean font to the smooth, matte feeling the casing has. The cushion's casing is made of high quality, weighted plastic.

The inner part of the cushion also looks chic and uber cool with a decent sized mirror for easy application/touch up

It comes with a black air puff with black ribbon with the name Superface and logo emblazoned on it

Like any other cushions, all you gotta do is open the cover

And there is your product. One thing that i always stress when using Cushions is you want to tap and press on your skin, don't drag. Most cushions would move around and streak when you make swiping motion and this Mesh Cushion is no exception

The refill safely sealed

Let's see how the shade 00 Fair swatched on my hand first.

You can see here that the texture is very light and the shade is pink undertoned for 00. My face is pinker than my hand tho.

Blended. It's definitely easy to blend seamlessly into my skin, i bet you can hardly tell which part's cushion-ed up as it is very natural, it just makes the applied part smoother and more flawless

Superface Zoom In Mesh Cushion has a light and refreshing scent, it is not overpowering or disturbing at all to me, but it does have a scent. It also has a lovely cooling sensation to calm your skin down when applied. This is how it looks on me :

L-R : Before and After using Superface Zoom In Mesh Cushion

I have some pesky old acne scars on my chin that have not gone away, broken capillaries on my cheek and also little moles near my upper lip (that i hate). Even though the texture of the cushion is very light and the coverage is light to medium, it is able to conceal most of my redness and even the broken capillaries on my cheek but it is not really a product that i would use to a party or anything like that.

It does feel very light and comfortable on my skin. The photos above is taken just using the cushion before i add anything else, and it already helps with my dark circle. It has a dewy finish, which is seek after for K-beauty fans but for me, it is actually quite worrisome because i have oily skin so i definitely HAVE to set my face or else it's gonna melt and slide all over in no time.

You might also see how it looks slightly pale and ashy on my skin, but in reality it's actually the closest to my actual skin tone so if you compare the color to my arms and chest, it'd be the same shade. But i do agree that i look kinda dead *LOL* so to warm up my complexion, i always opt for a warmer (a shade darker than my skin tone) loose powder to counter balance the paleness.

If you have very oily skin like me, don't be scared of the dewy finish claim - as long as you set your face using sebum out type of powder (i then apply another loose powder on top) then it won't make your skin anymore oily than it normally would.

With full face of makeup, very smooth and flawless indeed!

It's definitely my current go to base makeup (i have to be honest with you, it's so easy and fast to use that i am lazy to go back to my old base makeup routine that consists of many more steps than just using one cushion!), i like the result and also it's light enough to use daily without clogging my pores or causing any flare up. The only thing that i don't love about this product is probably how little the product would picked up everytime that i have to keep on re-pressing my cushion on it, after a while it can be a bit tiresome (as very little product would transfer each time) but still, it is not a big deal.

Olin and i also noticed how the product is the type that looks prettier after some wear time (not many products can claim this!), as i mentioned earlier, i set my face with a lot of powder so it looks quite matte first but within hours as my natural oil start to appear, it would look dewy and fresh without making me look like a greasy wok.

I also love how it's super long lasting without cracking or caking up, i actually wore it out for 10 hours last week and this is how i look after 10 hours and 0 blotting/touch up :

10 hours later. Eyeliner's smudged, lippies almost gone but the base makeup still going strong

Yes, i have became a total oily mess after 10 hours (and let me remind you, 0 blotting/touch up!) but my skin makeup is actually still going strong. All i had to do was to blot and i think we can still go on looking good for a lot more hours!

So yeah, i do like this product a lot! Would i recommend this to all of you? If you are looking for a lovely Korean cushion with cool packaging, light to medium coverage, long lasting performance, dewy and natural finish which is kind to your skin, i would definitely recommend you to give this cushion a try. Honestly, it is pretty pricey, but it does tick all of the boxes in things that i am looking for in a cushion. I would also say the sturdy and light weight packaging is perfect to bring traveling and it's definitely gives it a major point for me (it won't be scratched easily in your makeup bag and it's certainly more efficient to bring than your tube/jar of BB Cream/foundie, and it's leak free too!).

You can get this product with a special price at my Charis Shop, all you gotta do is click the link and it will direct you to my Charis shop (there are a lot of other products with special prices in my shop).

Have you tried this cushion yet? If not, is this something that you want to try in the future?
