Erborian is one of those brands I just adore, it is exciting, it is new and different, it is a little bit quirky and it does amazing make up - especially the PP Creme which I adore. So landing on my mat is a new product which is called the cushion BB Creme and if you like original, I don't see any reason why you wouldn't like this, cushion products seem to be all over the show right now, so I am glad to see Erborian on the case. I am a big fan of the original BB Creme, so I was excited to give this a try, more so because it arrives in a small little compact, meaning less room taken up in my handbag.

Erborian say that this BB Cushion creme will help to enhance the complexion and immediately moisturize your skin and the formula provides sheer coverage and helps to:
1. Even out skin tone
2. Conceal the appearance of flaws
3. Soften the visible signs of aging
4. Provide a feeling of freshness and instant moisture
5. Give a baby skin effect
Unsurprisingly this product is packed full of amazing skincare ingredients which are known for their antioxidant and hydrating properties and others which have soothing benefits such as Ginseng, liquorice, yam and kigella africana. There is also the inclusion of horsetail which is known to help strengthen the skins barrier functions.
I really like the formula of this BB Creme, it isn't sticky or tacky on the skin and once applied my skin feels so smooth the touch and instantly fresh feeling. I have shade Clair which is the lightest of the two shades (the other being Golden) and it is a perfect match for my light skin tone. On the skin, whilst it isn't entirely weightless, it feels no different to having applied a tinted moisturiser or BB Creme but the big difference for me is how it makes my skin feel - moisturised and I find I don't need to use as much as I would do with a foundation because the coverage is pretty darn good.
My only issue with the compact is the sponge applicator, I am yet to get to grips with it properly and currently prefer to use my stippling brush to apply, but I haven't quite given up on the sponge yet and feel that as it is part of the product, it is there for a reason.
The Erborian Cushion BB is a QVC exclusive and it will be priced at £26.50 when it launches. Designed for all skin types, this is a product well worth waiting for and is like skincare and makeup all rolled into one, perfect for the Erborian brand and if you are yet to discover them, do so, it is amazing.
