LUNA, Cushion With Skin Care All in One, Water Found Pack

Luna, it's was quiet a popularity after it was aired on Get it Beauty, but somehow I had no big interest in getting one, probably because of my cased up cushions I have to finish, and mostly because I was quiet happy with the Lalavesi Devil Cushion and Innisfree Long Wear Cushion. I have been more into semi matte, powdery finish for the oils during the summer.
Remember 1 Degree hotter means that much wider pores and that much more oil!
Now Korea is in their fall season, big round fruits are cheapest and most delicious this year, and sky so blue with white puffy clouds that makes me stare in awe in my busy Korean Worker's Life.

Blue sky that I just had to take a picture of :)
Well, it's fall now, and that means... DRY PATCHES
I love fall and all the fresh fruit I get to enjoy but its also dry, and windy. My oils will disappear and my dry patches will widen. I need something bit more moisturizing. I had a reader who also wanted to read a review about this product, so I decided to give it a try.

My skin type : Easily environment effected, During Spring Dry and very sensitive, During Summer Combo with a lot of oil patches, During Fall, Combo with more dry than oily, Winter Dry Dry Dry.
 Luna Pack was introduced in Get it Beauty during their episode about Sweat and Water Proof Moisturizing Makeup, so I will be focusing how well it's against sweat and water.


One of the biggest features of this product is it's texture and the moisturizing capsules, in the episode the makeup artist said with this one cushion you don't need to do skin care, so during the busy hours in the morning you can really reduce time with this one cushion. Perfect cushion if you are girls that can't wake up on the first alarm clock, or worse only can wake up on the last snooze like me. XD I am one lazy cat

So all in all I have very very high expectation out of this, but these days I am bit short on cash, decided to buy this one big huge makeup cabinet that reaches my roof. So if this cushion doesn't meet my skin or if I don't like it, it's a big wallet attack for me.
So with trembling hands I meet the post office man that holds a box with Luna on it.

Now to start my review, best to know about the fact before we go on.
Sun Proof SPF 35 PA++, Water Proofed, Anti Wrinkle, Whitening, Cooling Effect, Tone and Skin Texture cover and moisturizing Moist Essence (60%)
(Note that it's not oil proof, it seems like cooling effect prevent the pores getting wider, which means less oil)

This is the first time I did in depth ingredients information,
This takes a lot of time and research but if you find this useful, please let me know on the comments below, so that I find it worthwhile to do this.


This is the Luna Pact,
It's currently uploaded here if you are interested in getting one through me.
This one box has one cushion and one refill.


Refill comes in another box like this, I find this bit waste of boxes because the refill is wrap again in a plastic bag that you can rip open when you need it. But I guess it's good for those who tend to roughly deal with the refills and package might rip open


On the back they have kindly writen their products features, Vitamin makeup, 60% Moist Essence by Fermentated extract, And Latte Art, meaning it has makeup base and foundation together in one product for more natural blend and lighter makeup.
Even did their own ratings 
Coverage : ★★★★
Long Lasting : ★★★★
Moist : ★★★★★
Let see how similar ratings it will be compared to mine.


Tada! inside the cushion you can see the large Mirror which I love so much
and beautiful latte picture it bit blurry because it has that half transparent plastic cover to keep the foundation from drying out or getting dirty.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO CLOSE THE PLASTIC LID WELL!
Once this foundation goes dry, your cushion will be ruined.

I actually love this firm plastic cover it has, it's more sturdy than normal cushion and I liked it because it really prevents from my mirror getting dirty. You know how dirty mirrors really give bit of stress little by little every day. Having to clean it every single time I use this is bit annoying, so I really love the plastic cover this has :)


Such beautiful Latte design, it kinda reminds me of the Fill N Cover Pact
I thought the foundation will be hard but it turns out very creamy, with one press of the finger the white and brown mix well together.
There is only one color for this cushion I think it's those normal 21 colors with bit less yellowish color. if you look closely you can even see the bubble looking capsule that holds deep moist.


The puff is dense enough to melt down the foundation and apply evenly on the skin.


This is how the colors will turn out to be
I love the feeling when I apply this foundation, it does have cooling effect
Cooling effect will help prevent your pores getting too wide under the sun.
I like to tap this on like I do with my cushion sun block really convenient, and also fix the makeup the same time! It's moistly as I assume but for my dry patches during fall it's not enough so I still do skin care base before using this foundation. 
I've been using this for like a week or so, I love the heavy moist it has, I think I can still do my original lighter skin care like I did on the summer and apply this and still feel moist! XD Because of the heavy moist the makeup never gets cakey at all.

I have personally wore this for a week or so and I seriously think it's also oil proofed as well, although it's fall, there is still strong sun that makes my pore want to make oil, and I do sweat a little when I work out doors. But I feel this cushion have been strong on me and did not melt like I thought it would.

Most moist cushion tend to have loose cling and doesn't last long as you hope it would. However maybe because of the creamy texture it has, the long lasting last longer than most moist cushion but not as much as matte cushions. Since it's a pack type of cushion, such cling is considered strong.

Coverage is average, Only does well with blemishes and bit of dark spots, but overall considered very natural coverage. To increase the coverage remember not to paint with your puff but tap as much as you can to increase the coverage.

One thing I didn't like is that the thick moist makes the cushion bit sticky getting all my hairs stick to my skin. But the after feeling gets better and gets less sticky as time passes. Well, until some of the moist is soaked into the skin. 

I really recommend to girls who is looking for moist cushion with Natural coverage.
Something Water and Oil Proof for outdoors or your overwhelming oils.
The cooling features is best to girls who has blemishing skins

SOME OF MY PERSONAL TESTS FOR THIS PRODUCTS
Waterproof TEST
Well proofed but does rubs off if you do it to hard.

  1. Thank you for reviewing this<3
    Wish it came in more colors because this shade looks too light for me..! It looks like a good product to try out though.

  2. I remember to have seen an episode in Get it beauty where they talked about how important was temperature in skin and why we should keep it low, they talked about Korean traditional medicine, and later it seems they talked about one cooling BB from Tony Moly. Since then I'm curious about this cooling products, love to try that, but this tone it's too light for me ._.
    Thank you for this review anyway (h)

  3. Thank you so much for sharing your review and the listed harmful ingredients is such a great help :) Been wanting to get this from watching Get it Beauty, but Im still weary in getting one because there is no review for it yet.
    Do you think this will work in a humid climate? Because cushion foundations always melt off my skin when it gets too humid :-s

    1. Hmm it's like any other pact, there is cushion for each product and you first tap some of the cream on your cushion and tap starting from the parts that needs highlights like the cheek to nose to forehead. and the leftovers to the parts that you want to shade like the jaw bones and around the hair line. Hope I helped! :-d
