[W.Lab] W-Honey Beam Cushion - Review

​

Hi! Today I’ll be reviewing the W-Honey Beam Cushion (no. 23 Honey Beige) from W.Lab. As you can decipher from their name, this brand attempts to use scientific technology to produce superior products. They also differentiate themselves from their competitors by using plant extracts opposed to purified water as its fundamental base. Sounds good so far!

The Unboxing

​

The cushion foundation comes in a simple white box with a sassy bumble bee that exudes confidence and a brazen attitude. I LOVE her. I feel that by using a product she endorses, I too can be just as fearless and amazing! So, in this case, I started off the review halfway infatuated (but I promise I tried to stay as objective as possible)!

The sponge applicator comes packaged separately and the cushion is sealed off, both for sanity reasons. But once peeled off, you’re hit by a gentle waft of something sweet. But don’t worry, the scent isn’t overpowering.

The reveal

I read the detailed description for W-Honey Beam Cushions and it was rather impressive. To line them up:

- The core ingredient is Jeju Island (~44%) and Manuka honey, all of which is famous for the benefits it offers to our skin. That is, honey is a natural anti-bacterial so it’s great for acne treatment and prevention, it’s full of anti-oxidants which help slow down the aging process, it’s incredibly moisturizing and so on and so forth. In fact, honey has been regarded as the Holy Grail of beauty for several centuries! So much so that Cleopatra was famous for taking baths in it!

- It’s an efficacy cosmetic that provides UV protection, brightening and anti-wrinkle properties, all of which has been reported by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.

- Offers greater coverage

Not to mention, this product is highly regarded here in South Korea! 

Most cushion foundations that highlight how hydrating it is offers an almost watery consistency. But when I dipped my finger into the product, I was surprised to see how dense and viscous it was!

​

​I applied some to my skin (remember spread out gently then pat to blend!) and was happy to note that the coverage was great! In fact, I didn’t even feel the need to apply several layers to get the effect I wanted! Mind, I tried anyway and was pleased to find that it didn’t feel or look cakey. Note, with enough effort and layers, any product including this one will appear heavy!! Overall, my skin looked more even, dewy (without excess shine) and all in all healthier!

Quick Tip: I chose to use no.23 Honey Beige which is closest to my own skin tone. But, for a brighter, more energetic look try no.21 Honey Light (of course provided it is somewhat similar to your own skin tone)!

Thanks for reading!
