Addicted to domestic products, cannot pull myself away
Recently I noticed that over the past year,"domestic products"this term has been appearing with unusually high frequency!
Nowadays many domestic products are not onlygood in quality and well regarded, buttheir quality also directly rivals all kinds of big brands. With the import tariff portion removed, the price is more attractive than a heartthrob.
Only after tidying up did I learn that the domestic products I stockpiled last year were actually double the amount of big brands! No wonder a few days ago my daigou friend complained to me that daigou is almost impossible to keep doing now...
There are so many great domestic products, and I have stockpiled many of them too. Which one is more worth recommending? Today I have prepared a new segment for everyone, and I plan to give you an in-depth review of one domestic color cosmetic every so often.
The first step of makeup is base makeup, so today we will start with base makeup and give you a 360° exhaustive, no-detail-missed deep dive into a recent purchase of mine,the light of domestic products - Perfect Diary Snowflake Skin Cushion BB。
Packaging
As a beauty-obsessed fairy, to catch my attention, besides strong performance it must also have a "good-looking exterior".
The Perfect Diary Snowflake Skin Cushion BB has a black polished outer case and smoothly polished curved edges that feel especially comfortable to the touch. The packaging is paired with white text,a simple, grand and noble style, and I fell in love with it at first glance.
Held in the hand as a round pieceverytextured~ The detail design is also very thoughtful. The lid comes with a small mirror, and even the mirror is carefully covered with a layer of protective film ~ The puff inside is also very soft. When out and about, bring this compact and you won't need to worry at all about touch-ups.
Create flawless "snowflake skin"
Makeup effect
Of course, the most stunning thing is this cushion's makeup application effect.It can create the legendary "snowflake skin"! As the name suggests, it makes the skin as white and flawless as snow, radiating a glow from within。
to create a skin feel like snow, translucent yet not fully transparent, with a faint glow. To put it simply, while covering blemishes it also lets the skin's healthy complexion show through. It covers imperfections well without a heavy makeup look. Red blood vessels, acne marks and the like can all be covered fairly well.
After applying makeup it is simply the kind of skin that countless girls dream of, the same as a Korean drama leading lady! In short, Perfect Diary's color-matching formula and moisture-diffusing technology developed specially for Asian women can keep the skin hydrated and translucent for a long time, perfectly solving the base makeup problem of "high coverage with low translucency".
Finally the most exciting moment has arrived. In order to better show its makeup effect, I deliberately applied this cushion BB to only half of my face.
My original skin tone was somewhat dull, with a few small imperfections and dark circles. Compared with the half of my face after makeup, it felt like a sudden brightening.
After makeup myskin tone was noticeably brightened and evened out. With max coverage, it also made the imperfections on my face disappear. Before and after makeup there were no problems such as patchiness, and it sat very well on the skin.
And the makeup effect is still my favorite semi-matte,with the glow radiating from within, just like snowflakes, crystal clear. To put it simply, while covering blemishes it also lets the skin's healthy complexion show through. It covers imperfections well without a heavy makeup look.
Anti-yellowing ingredient-focused
Girls also do not need to worry at all about the product's quality, as it can be verified with the National Medical Products Administration.
In addition, it specially addsAustralian Centella asiatica(the signature ingredient in Sisley's Ecological Compound) andSpanish sage and Houttuynia cordataand other skin-care-grade plant extract ingredients.
After application it can resist sensitivity and repair, soothe and calm, while effectively promoting the skin's collagen production and improving skin elasticity. It is almost suitable for any skin type and skin condition, simplya savior for dull, sallow complexions。

With so many skin-nourishing ingredients added, even girls with acne-prone skin or sensitive skin can use it without any worry.
Waterproof coverage is outstanding
Coverage
After gaining a very deep understanding of BB cream, the review with both pictures and text is presented to everyone right away. For the coverage test, I made the following comparisons.
The first comparison is a small scar on my face, somewhat dark purple in color, fairly similar to everyone's usual spots and acne marks, and next to the small scar there is also a small pimple.After a thin layer of the cushion, the small scar and acne mark were almost invisible.
The second comparison is even more amazing. I drew two strokes on the back of my hand with an eyebrow pencil, then layered the cushion over the marks multiple times. After multiple layers, compared with the beginning, they were almost gone. Its coverage really amazed me!
This is truly high-definition real footage, without any Photoshop
With such astonishing coverage, while easily covering pores and concealing imperfections, it can also keep the skin hydrated and translucent, faintly revealing a snowflake-like glow. I love it so much.
Waterproof
Although spring is not a stuffy, hot season, there is a lot of rain. If it suddenly rains one day, a person can be thrown into disarray, but the makeup absolutely must not be ruined!
For the waterproof test, I also did a real-shot test. Even after being rinsed with a large amount of water, the cushion BB on my hand showed no makeup removal or patchiness.
Seeing that it passed the test of one rinse so easily, increasing the difficulty was a must. After I rinsed it with water multiple times, the foundation on my hand only came off a tiny bit.
From this it seems that after using this cushion BB, unless you wear makeup for intense exercise or swimming, a little sweat or light rain in daily life is completely fine!
Longevity
Now for the last test. This is one I urgently added just now (quick, praise me). The real shots above were of makeup I applied at 11 a.m.,and until after 5 p.m., I did not touch up my makeup along the way.
As you can see from the pictures, after more than 6 hours,there was hardly any makeup removal on my face. The slight dullness at the corners of my mouth was also because I had eaten lunch and afternoon tea and wiped my mouth.
A cutting-edge brand with real strength
Many girls may not yet have heard of the brand "Perfect Diary". That is because it is a cutting-edge domestic brand only founded in 2016, focusing on international fashion color cosmetics, and its founding team are all high achievers who returned from studying abroad at Harvard University, Yale University and other schools.
Although it has only been established for a short year, Perfect Diary has already quietly made a name for itself in fashion circles. Last year, as the backstage official color cosmetics brand, it appeared at Milan Fashion Week and Shanghai Fashion Week, was recommended by editors of magazines such as Harper's Bazaar, and was recently namedELLE China Annual Beauty Star "Emerging Strength Brand"。
and is also full of praise on various social platforms. At last year's Weibo Beauty V Awards annual gala,Perfect Diary's "Snowflake Skin" cushion was selected as one of the best products of the year, and on Xiaohongshu it even made the post-95 popularity list, with a popularity index second only to MAC Lipstick. It is simply the light of domestic products!
Last year on Double 11, this brand's liquid foundation had already made it to No. 7 on Tmall's liquid foundation sales list, higher than Estée Lauder and Shiseido. This result is simply unimaginable for a new brand~
Of course, many people will worry that high popularity does not mean good quality, but Perfect Diary has really put great effort into product research and production. As I said earlier, their OEM factory is one of the world's top cosmetics manufacturers. High-end big-name color cosmetics like DIOR, CHANEL, TF and so on all come from here!
That is to say, although it comes from the same factory as international big brands, its price is less than one third of theirs! This is the secret to living a refined life!
After a comprehensive review from inside to outside, from hand to face, I give thislight of domestic products Perfect Diary Snowflake Skin Cushion BB an overall score of 99(1 point off, so it does not get too proud)!
A cushion that can satisfy moisturizing, hydration, coverage, waterproofness and longevity is really rare nowadays. It is also very thoughtfully made in terms of ingredients, with the same ingredients as thousand-yuan big brands, produced in the same factory as Sulwhasoo and Estée Lauder, yet priced within 100 yuan, less than even one third of the former's price. This kind of value for money is probably something only Perfect Diary can offer! Giving it 10086 calls is absolutely not excessive!
In order not to be all talk, this time Shaoyao is also super thoughtfully attaching your exclusive special benefit, theexclusive discount we secured for you is truly super unbeatable!!
