I can declare that Korean makeup is very evil! My heart already almost stopped when I saw the Gudetama Collection! Now A’Pieu decided to come up with a collaboration with San-X Rilakkuma. If you didn know, I am kinda obsessed with Rilakkuma, my sister will always get me Rilakkuma goodies when she is in Japan.
Rilakkuma is San-X creation. His name, Rilakkuma, is a combination of リラックス rirakkusu, or “relax” in English, and クマ（熊）kuma, or “bear” in English. Therefore his name is literally translated as Relax Bear.
My liking of Rilakkuma and Gudetama kinda reflects that I am a chilled and relax (*cough* lazy *cough) person.
There is 2 parts of this collection. The first release was on 8 June 2016 – where they came out with cushion foundation and blushers. The second release was on 15 June 2016 which was the lip tints and eye shadow palettes.
A’Pieu x Rilakkuma Air Fit Cushion XP SPF 50+/ PA+++
Cost: 13000 won (est~ SGD$14.92)
The cushion comes in 2 colors – 21 & 23. I got no 23 as the color is more natural and suited to my skin tone.
I love that the cushion blusher has different case covers.

I manage to get the cushion foundation and the cushion blushers thanks to my cousin who happened to be at Korea. It is quite a strategic and smart move for them to have separate releases to keep people interested. I can foresee more collaborations A’Pieu will be doing. The recent ones were Doraemon and also Crayon Shinchan.
Looking forward to more collaborations, and when I get the products from my cousin. I will do an updated post on swatches and also reviews and my thoughts on how the products fare.
What is your favorite item from this series? What other collaboration do you wish to see next? Share with me here or at all my social medias :)

Hi! I know that you might not have gotten your cushion yet, but do you happen to know if this has a dewy or matte finish? And would it be suitable for combination skin?
Thank you!
Hi Andrea
I believe A’PIEU cushion has natural dewy finish. For me, I will always use powder to set the cushion. I have oily combination and so far I have no issue with BB cushions. The only thing I know is if you use No 21 in Laneige, most of other Korean brands BB cushion you may need to choose No. 23.
Hope that answers your concern. I will be testing out the product and doing a review of the cushion.
