Hera Uv Mist Cushion

Today, the get-go installment of my Korean haul.

The photos are less than perfect, because I had to purpose my phone. As I've mentioned on IG, my dear photographic tv set camera is no to a greater extent than (happened inward Korea, actually) together with a novel 1 volition teach hither inward 2 weeks. And if I hold off for 2 weeks to start blogging nearly what I bought, I'll never weblog nearly it. Because I'm lazy.

Dzis na blogu pierwszy z moich koreanskich lupow.
Zdjecia robione telefonem, bo jak juz pokazywalam na instagramciu, moj starenki apart odszedl exercise krainy wiecznego pstrykania. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 nowy bedzie dopiero za dwa tygodnie. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 jak bede czekac przez dwa tygodnie, zeby opisywac moj koreanski haul, to nigdy teach nie opisze. Bo jestem smierdzacym leniem.

Przed wyjazdem exercise Seulu zrobilam sobie bardzo dokladna liste, tego, co chcialam kupic. Lista byla przemyslana, przeguglowana i zdecydowana. I jedna z pozycji na mojej liscie bylo: cushion.
Napalilam sie na te nieszczesne BB cushions jak szczerbaty na suchary. Mialam ich na mojej liscie kilka: Ohui, Sulwhasoo, Iope, Laneige, Amore Pacific i sum:37. Nie wszystkie na raz, tylko takie, ktore z tej listy past times mi pasowaly. Wiec jak to sie stalo, ze exercise domu przywiozlam cushion marki Hera? (Plus Sulwhasoo, ale o tym nastepnym razem.)

Before my trip to Seoul I prepared a really detailed shopping listing of what I wanted to buy. I needed a listing to avoid impulse spending, because fifty-fifty though impulse spending is a lot of fun, I don't lead maintain a wealthy husband. Sadly. So, my listing was really carefully stance out, googled out together with decided on. And 1 of the items on the listing was: "BB cushion".
I got such BB cushion fever that inward the procedure I forgot I had alone 1 face. On my listing at that topographic point were cushions past times Ohui, Sulwhasoo, Iope, Laneige, Amore Pacific together with sum:37. Hopefully non all of them (see the wealthy hubby disclaimer above) at the same time, but those that would live a skilful stand upwardly for for me. So what the heck happened that I'm telling y'all nearly a cushion past times Hera? (I also got a Sulwhasoo, every bit an afterthought).

Nie lubie firmy Hera. Sama nazwa mnie odpycha. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 ich produkty zapychaja. Wiec po cholere mi ta cushion?
Ano... jak sie okazalo, znalezienie odpowiedniego odcienia dla takiego bladziocha jak ja, nie bylo wcale takie proste.
Pani w stoisku Ohui powiedziala prosto z mostu, ze mi zadnej z ich cushions nie sprzeda, bo widzi jasno i wyraznie, ze nawet najjasniejszy odcien jest dla mnie za ciemny.
Podobnie bylo przy innych stoiskach. W Amore Pacific patrzyli sie na mnie jak na ufoluda. Pani powiedziala, ze jestem chyba najbielsza biala osoba, jaka kiedykolwiek zdarzylo jej sie spotkac.
Bycie corka mlynarza to jeszcze politico biedy. Ja jestem swinska corka mlynarza, zamiast odcieniow zoltych i bezowych, mam rozowe, wiec na co dzien wygladam jak zadowolone z zycia prosie. Ale tylko i wylacznie na twarzy. Moja szyja juz ma odcien zolci. Wiec jakiekolwiek cuda makijazowe musza byc bardzo starannie i neutralnie dobrane.

I don't similar Hera. The scream itself turns me off together with their products brand me intermission out. So why the heck did I purchase a Hera cushion?
Ha! It turned out that finding a sufficiently low-cal cushion, fifty-fifty inward a white-skin obsessed Korea, wasn't every bit slowly every bit I'd imagined.
The Ohui lady said apartment out she wasn't going to sell me whatsoever of their cushions, because they were all besides dark. The storey repeated itself at other counters. At Amore Pacific they looked at me amongst beak disbelief together with said I was the whitest white mortal they had always seen.
I don't withdraw heed existence white, but existence white together with pinkish at the same fourth dimension is a problem. And spell my human face upwardly has pinkish undertones, my cervix is to a greater extent than yellow. So it's slowly to imagine how carefully I must consider all makeup purchases. And in all likelihood that's why I loathe epitome my face. It's besides much operate to stand upwardly for all the undertones.

W desperacji podeszlam exercise stoiska Hery. Tam dwie panie bardzo sprawnie wziely mnie w obroty i zaczely myziac, najpierw po rece, potem po przedramieniu i na koniec, w akcie rozpaczy - po twarzy. Az w koncu jedna z nich poszla po rozum exercise glowy i zamiast cushions kryjacych wziela najjasniejsza tonujaca i alleluja! Zaczelam wygladac jak czlowiek.

In desperation I walked over to the Hera counter. Two ladies sat me downward together with started to swatch, pat, blend together with schmear, get-go my hand, thence my arm, together with thence - because at that topographic point was nowhere else for them to teach - my face. And of course, everything they tried was besides dark.
Finally, 1 of them got a vivid stance to endeavor a toning cushion, instead of a roofing type. And ohmyHolymotherofBatman! It worked.

Kolor, ktory mi podpasowal to N13, czyli naturalna zimna kosc sloniowa, najjasniejszy kolor w ofercie herowskich cushionow.
Seria northward to kolor naturalny, seria C to kolory exercise krycia, i te dziela sie na "Cover Tone" (kryjace) i "Long Stay Tone" (dlugotrwale). Jest jeszcze kolor S22, gdzie "S" znaczy "shimmer", czyli jak ktos potrzebuje blasku 100-watowki na twarzy, to ta cushion bedzie idealna.
Tutaj rozpiska wszystkich dostepnych kolorow:

N13 Cool Ivory Natural is what I have. As y'all tin give the sack see, the northward serial is labeled every bit "natural". Then y'all lead maintain the C series, of which at that topographic point are 2 types: Cover Tone together with Long Stay Tone. There is also something called S22 - Shimmery Vanilla. I approximate to live used when y'all demand to facial expression similar a highlighted lightbulb. 


W sklad zestawu w pudelku wchodzi kompakt:
Inside your box y'all volition honour a fancy schmancy compact:

I dodatkowy refill:
And a refill packet:

Jak widac pelna nazwa produktu to "UV Mist Cushion", czyli mgielkowa poduszka, albo jakos tak.
As y'all tin give the sack run across the total scream of the production is UV Mist Cushion blahblahblah...

Ale tworcy ulotki wewnatrz pudelka musieli miec niezly ubaw piszac:
The copywriters at Hera are really talented individuals, indeed, if they could come upwardly up amongst such wonders:

Huh? Clay from frozen body of body of water H2O ice which is finer than fog particles? Biorac pod uwage, ze mgla to po prostu forma wody, czyli H2O, naprawde chcialabym sie dowiedziec czegos wiecej o tej glince, ktora ma byc delikatniejsza niz molekuly wody.
Come again? Clay from frozen body of body of water H2O ice which is finer than fog particles? I was taught (and I fifty-fifty had to cheque it on wiki, exactly to live sure) that fog is nada else but a cast of H2O. So I am really curious nearly this clay that is supposedly finer than a particle of water.

Albo po prostu copywriterzy u Hery zakladaja, ze kobiety sa zbyt tepe, aby sie takimi szczegolami przejmowac.
Or mayhap their copywriters exactly assume that women are besides stupid to know the departure anyway.

Jak otworzymy kompakt, to zobaczymy to:
We opened upwardly the compact together with run across this:

Jest lustereczko, jest gabeczka z inicjalem, pelen wypas.
There's a mirror, at that topographic point is a monogrammed puff, all every bit it should be.

Jak podniesiemy gabeczke i otworzymy wewnetrzna pokrywke, to ujrzymy to:
When nosotros elevator the puff together with opened upwardly the inner lid, nosotros run across this:

Zawartosc zabezepieczona naklejka.
The contents are sealed for your protection.

Pod naklejka juz to, co nas najbardziej interesuje:
We peel off the seal together with finally, this is what we've been wanting to run across all along:

Wyglada niesamowicie ciemny, ale na skorze prezentuje sie jasniutko.

I tutaj w koncu widac, dlaczego nazywa sie to to "cushion", czyli poduszka.
Bo to wlasnie co tutaj mamy - miekka, nasaczona podkladem, poduszke.

Aby nalozyc kolorek na twarz, potrzebujemy gabeczke. Gabeczka ta wyglada mi na plaska mutacje Beauty Blendera, i ma dokladnie takie samo zadanie - aby pieknie rozprowadzic kolorek na skorze.

It looks really nighttime inward the compact, but 1 time on the skin, its truthful shade is revealed. 
And here, nosotros tin give the sack finally run across why this wonder is called a "cushion". Because this is what nosotros lead maintain hither - a soft, saturated amongst foundation, cushion.
To apply the product, nosotros demand a puff (sponge), which looks similar a apartment mutation of 1 of the many Beauty Blender clones. And its project is the same - to distribute the production on the skin.

Przyciskamy gabeczka na poduszeczce i mamy to:
We press the sponge gently onto the cushion, together with voila!

No i sru na pyszczek. Poklepac, rozprowadzic i gotowe. Przynajmniej wedlug obietnic producenta.
And we're gear upwardly to paint. All nosotros demand to exercise is to dab, blend together with facial expression lovely. At to the lowest degree according to the promises of the geniuses at Hera.

Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 jak sie prezentuje 10 odcien na skorze?
Twarzy Wam pokazywac nie bede, bo i tak nie potrafilabym zrobic dobrego zdjecia. Wiec dla ulatwienia sobie zycia, myzialam sie po przedramieniu.

And how does it facial expression on the skin?
I won't present y'all my face, because I wouldn't live able to accept a skilful photograph anyway. So, inward social club to travel on it simple, stupid, I dabbed together with blended on my arm.

Celowo nie obrysowywalam miejsca gdzie nalozylam podklad, aby bylo widac granice. Nalozylam tez podklad na 10 pieprzyk, ktory w rzeczywistosci jest koloru bardzo ciemnobrazowego. Wniosek z tego taki, ze pomimo oficjalnego braku krycia w serii N, to jednak troche kryje. Z obietnic tonujacych i wyrownujacych wywiazuje sie znakomicie.

Purposely, I didn't depict a line roughly the expanse where I applied the foundation, thence y'all tin give the sack run across the edge easily. Also, this blemish is inward fact quite dark. Dark dark-brown I'd say. Here y'all tin give the sack run across it covered amongst a layer of Hera. So fifty-fifty though technically, I shouldn't hold off much coverage from my N13, it did a pretty skilful project eve out the complexion. Those promises of the manufacturer were fulfilled.

Wyglada bardzo naturalnie, tak jak wlasna cera, tylko lepsza. Naprawde nawet przy bardzo duzym zblizeniu trudno zauwazyc, ze cos na skorze jest. Wiec moze te molekuly mniejsze od wody to jednak nie bajka? Ciort wie.

It looks really natural, exactly similar my ain skin, but better. Even genuinely unopen upwardly it's difficult to run across that there's something on the skin. So mayhap that storey nearly particles finer than H2O is realy true? Who the heck knows...

Wszystko pieknie, tylko niestety nie na dlugo.

Po pierwsze, to dziadostwo schnie tak dlugo, ze juz myslalam, ze sie okoce.
Po drugie, nalozone wedlug wskazowek producenta, wyglada pieknie przez godzine, lub dwie, a potem zamienia sie w nieestetyczna katastrofe.

All is well, but non for long.
First, this materials dries long plenty for me to nascency a baby. And second, when applied according to the directions inward the package, it survives on the human face upwardly for mayhap an hour, or two.

Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 jakie to sa te wskazowki producenta? Ano takie:
And what are the directions? Here they are:

Mamy nakladac 10 podklad wtedy, kiedy normalnie nakladalybysmy filtr przeciwsloneczny. To juz jest pierwsza bzdura, bo w ilosciach w jakich nakladamy 10 produkt, to zaoferuje on nam zadnej ochrony przed sloncem. Pomimo tego, ze chwali sie tym, iz posiada SPF50+ i PA+++.

I chyba zadna Azjatka na ta bujde nie pojdzie, bo wie, ze filtru trzeba uzywac w znacznie wiekszych ilosciach niz delikatne pacanie sie gabeczka.

Ale co mi tam, sprobowalam wedlug zalecen. Utrwalilam sypkim pudrem. Przez pierwsze dwie godziny wygladalo cudownie. W okolicach lunchu po prostu zaczelo mi to to znikac w twarzy. Pod koniec dnia nie bylo juz tam nic.

This made no feel to me whatsoever, because considering the miniscule quantities of this materials that nosotros are putting on our face, it only can't offering whatsoever existent Sun protection. That it boasts of SPF50+ together with PA+++ is exactly a marketing gimmick. 
As whatsoever Asian adult woman tin give the sack tell you, to live protected from the sun's harmful rays, y'all demand a lot to a greater extent than than a fragile pat amongst a puff. You demand to apply sunscreen. 

But, what the heck, I tried according to the instructions. I used Laura Mercier loose pulverization to laid this business. And for nearly an hr or 2 it looked gorgeous. Around tiffin it started to disappear from my face. And when I came dorsum habitation from work, at that topographic point was nada left on my face.

Nastepnego dnia sprobowalam, tak jak Bozia przykazala, na baze (uzylam mojej ukochanej Chacott). Choc kazdy z filtrow, ktore posiadam, twierdzi, ze dzialaja 1 rowniez jako baza, to jednak u mnie to sie jeszcze nie sprawdzilo.

Poczekalam az Chacott wysechl i wtedy zaczelam pacac sie Hera.
Calosc przysypalam sypkim pudrem Laury Mercier.

I w takiej kolejnosci twarzy wytrzymala niemal przez caly dzien. Niemal, bo okolo three po poludniu musialam sie poprawic, co przy podkladach, ktore zazwyczaj uzywam, mi sie nie zdarza.

The side past times side twenty-four hours I used, exactly similar the gods intended us to do, get-go a proper base of operations (I used my dear Chacott), together with thence on pinnacle of that, I applied this cushion foundation. Again, I laid everything amongst Laura Mercier loose powder.
When applied inward this order, my human face upwardly lasted for almost viii hours. Almost, because I had to touching on it upwardly roughly 3pm, which is unheard of amongst the regular foundations that I use.

Czyli, jaki jest moj werdykt?

Ciezko powiedziec. Ale chyba raczej za Hera nie przepadam, wlasnie ze wzgledu na nedzna trwalosci.
Za 45 dolarow oczekiwalabym czegos lepszej jakosci. Ale w sumie to srednia polka i dostalam produkt sredniej jakosci.
Ani on zly, ani on dobry. Taki sobie, po prostu sredni.

Mam jeszcze cushion Sulwhasoo, wyprobuje juz wkrotce.

So... what is my terminal verdict?
Hard to say. But I'm nevertheless non a fan of Hera, primarily due to the hapless lasting ability of their products. For 45 dollars I'd hold off something a chip better. But thence again, this is a mid-range production offering mid-range quality.
It's non bad, it's non good. Simply, average.

Next calendar week I'll endeavor my novel Sulwhasoo cushion. Let's run across how that volition go...

PS. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 co robimy jak gabeczka jest juz cala uswiniona?
Ja swoja "wypralam" w plynie exercise czyszczenia pedzli z Daiso.

PS. And what exercise nosotros exercise amongst a muddy sponge? I washed mine using the famous sponge cleaner liquid from Daiso. It worked ok.
