Have you ever bought something just because it
looks pretty? Well, I have (many times). One of these ‘purchases’ is Peripera
Pearly Night Inklasting Lavender Cushion. Come on guys, who can’t resist
something this pretty with its shining shimmering splendid case? I don’t know
about you, but anything that shimmers are done deal to me. But of course, we
don’t want just something that pretty outside, it has to be something on the
inside as well, right?

Packaging
Hands down, this cushion has one of the prettiest
packaging I’ve seen so far. It has this waterfall thing going on, but instead
of just water, they added glitters in it to make it even more magical looking. And
man, how Peripera nailed it.
Anyway, the cushion case itself is quite bulky and
heavy. Perhaps it’s because of the extra weight of the water from the
packaging. And just like any cushion, it also has this extra layer that
separates the puff from the cushion itself. Every Hangul written on the box has
its corresponding English translation, so you don’t have to guess what’s
written on it. Aesthetics aside, the puff handle broke easily; during the third
time I used it, the handle of the puff (where Peripera is written) snapped.
Now, I have trouble using its own puff to use the cushion. Sayang!
Performance
My first concern about this cushion is the shade. I
chose the darkest shade they have which is #3 Sand and prayed that I made the
right choice since the majority of Korean cushions have lighter shades that
doesn’t fit Pinay’s morena skin. Thankfully, Sand is just the right shade for
me. It’s still a bit lighter than my preferred shade, but nothing a setting
power cannot fix.
Peripera Pearly Night Inklasting Lavender Cushion
has a medium to heavy coverage. What I noticed though, is that the more layer
you apply, the more lighter it gets. Still, one layer is enough to cover my
skin pigmentations and redness around my nose rather well. You can see how
flawless the finish looks like and very Koreana too! Not the glass skin like I
expected it to be, but dewy enough to make my skin looks well-moisturized.
Also, at approximately 3 or 4 hours later, I can
start feeling the heaviness of this cushion on my face. Take note that I spend
most of my day in our office with air-conditioning, yet I can still feel how
heavy it is (and I only apply one layer). I am not saying that this will be the
case for everybody since we all have different skin conditions. By the way, I
have a very dehydrated skin, and I noticed that any base makeup with heavy
coverage tends to feel this way for me. So, this might work for you.
Overall, Peripera Pearly Night Inklasting
Lavender Cushion is a hit and miss for me. I love how pretty the packaging is
but, I don’t like how the puff handle easily snapped after only a few times I
used it. I love how it can cover my blemishes and how beautiful the finish is,
but I don’t like its heaviness. But the good thing is, it can withstand almost
anything because girls, this cushion stays all day!
