OCHEAL Mushroom Head BB Cream Foundation
I picked this mushroom head BB cream after seeing it trending in the “top-selling foundation cushions” category. The quirky mushroom puff applicator caught my eye, and I was curious if it was more than just a gimmick.
Shipping took about 12 days to the US, which isn’t bad for AliExpress. The compact arrived sealed and in great condition, no leakage or damage. I chose shade #02 (natural), and it blended surprisingly well with my medium skin tone.
Pros: – Lightweight, breathable coverage – Evens out redness and minor blemishes – The mushroom puff applies the product evenly – Travel-friendly and hygienic packaging
Cons: – Not ideal for very oily skin (I had to blot around midday) – Slight floral fragrance that might not suit sensitive noses
Compared to similar cushion foundations in the US (like Maybelline or L’Oréal), this cost me less than half the price—around $5 including shipping. I honestly didn’t expect much, but it delivered solid performance for daily wear.
Verdict: Exceeded expectations. Blends well, feels light, and looks natural. Would definitely reorder.

Butterfly Puff Air Cushion BB Cream
This butterfly air cushion BB cream had a stunning compact design that immediately drew me in. I was skeptical at first, but the reviews were consistently high, and I needed something compact for travel.
Shipping took 2 weeks. The powder puff is different from the mushroom puff—it’s softer and more flexible. The formula is more moisturizing than others I’ve tried, great for dry or combination skin.
Pros: – Beautiful packaging (feels like a luxury product) – Great for a dewy, glowy finish – Doesn’t cake up or oxidize – Very moisturizing
Cons: – Not very buildable—light to medium coverage at best – Not sweat-proof in hot weather
It’s comparable to Glossier Skin Tint in effect, but I paid under $6 for this one.
Verdict: Met expectations. Ideal for dry skin and casual days. Will repurchase for the aesthetic and hydrating effect.

72-Hour Long-Lasting Semi-Matte Cushion Foundation
I ordered this long-wear semi-matte cushion foundation hoping it could replace my expensive Estée Lauder Double Wear. Big ask, I know—but the “72-hour” claim intrigued me.
Shipping was fast—just 9 days. The compact looks sleek and modern, and the texture is creamy but dries semi-matte. The coverage is impressive, with one layer covering most of my acne scars.
Pros: – Truly long-wearing (12+ hours without setting spray) – Doesn’t transfer much – Medium to full coverage with a natural finish – SPF included
Cons: – A bit drying on flaky patches – Shade range could be wider
For under $7, this foundation competes with mid-range US brands.
Verdict: Absolutely met expectations. Would order again for all-day wear. One of the best AliExpress finds.

Ocheal BB Cream Air Cushion Compact
This Ocheal air cushion compact was a backup I added last minute, mostly due to the good reviews and cute packaging. It turned out to be a pleasant surprise.
Shipping took 13 days. It came with a mirror inside and a dense mushroom puff, similar to the first product.
Pros: – Smooth finish, soft-matte – Doesn’t settle into pores – Easy to apply on the go
Cons: – Needs touch-ups after 5–6 hours – Slightly gray undertone
For around $4, it’s a great everyday BB cushion. Compared to drugstore options like Covergirl, this one feels more lightweight.
Verdict: Exceeded expectations for the price. Great everyday compact.

XL Super Thick Foundation Puff
I ordered this extra-large puff sponge because I love using puffs for foundation and powder, and mine were wearing out. The product photos showed a thick, spongy puff—just what I wanted.
Arrived in a sealed bag in 10 days. It’s big, plush, and soft enough to blend both liquid and powder foundations easily.
Pros: – Large surface makes application fast – Super soft texture – Easy to clean – Works wet or dry
Cons: – Too big to fit in most compacts – Needs a place to dry properly after washing
In the US, similar puffs (like Beautyblender’s) go for $10+, but this cost me under $2.
Verdict: A steal. Definitely a reorder item.

72-Hour Cushion Refill Foundation (Red Compact)
I wanted a refill cushion foundation with SPF and long wear for backup. This refill came with a red compact and had solid reviews, especially for durability.
It arrived in 11 days. Shade #02 was a good match. The cushion is saturated and has great coverage from the first dab.
Pros: – Long-lasting, semi-matte finish – Easy to apply and reapply – Good SPF
Cons: – Compact design not as sleek – Slightly heavy for sensitive skin
Compared to US refills (which usually cost $20+), this one is unbeatable in price and works just as well.
Verdict: Met expectations. Worth buying for backup or daily use.

9-Color Full Coverage Liquid Foundation
This full coverage liquid foundation was my wildcard pick. I wasn’t sure if I needed another foundation, but the “9 shades” claim caught my attention.
Shipping took 2 weeks. I picked the neutral beige shade, which matched well. The formula is thicker than the cushions, but covers a lot.
Pros: – Excellent coverage for under-eye circles and blemishes – Matte finish – Buildable without looking cakey
Cons: – Needs moisturizer underneath – Can feel heavy by the end of the day
At just under $5, it’s a fantastic dupe for MAC Studio Fix.
Verdict: Met expectations. Great for when you want a polished, full-coverage look.

CC Cream Air Cushion (Mushroom Puff)
This air cushion CC cream claimed to brighten and even tone, so I got it hoping it would work well on days when I want to skip foundation.
Shipping was fast—about 9 days. It’s lighter in coverage than BB cushions, but blends beautifully.
Pros: – Very natural finish – Brightens the complexion – No strong scent
Cons: – Not for covering imperfections – Slightly shiny finish (needs powder)
For the price, it’s a solid pick when you just want to look fresh. Way cheaper than IT Cosmetics CC Cream.
Verdict: Met expectations. Best for “no-makeup makeup” days.

Mushroom Head CC Cream Foundation
This mushroom head CC cream is similar to the last one but had better reviews, so I wanted to compare. Turns out, it gives slightly better coverage and has a more matte finish.
Shipping took 12 days. The applicator puff is identical, and the cream has a cooling effect when applied.
Pros: – Comfortable, breathable formula – Slight tone-up effect – Doesn’t settle into fine lines
Cons: – Limited coverage – Needs reapplication mid-day
Still, I paid under $5, and it performs better than some $15 US CC creams.
Verdict: Slightly better than expected. Nice alternative to heavier foundations.

Waterproof Concealer Cushion (Semi-Matte)
This waterproof concealer cushion looked like a mix between foundation and concealer. I bought it for gym days or summer heat.
It arrived in 8 days. The coverage is moderate, and it truly does resist sweat. No patchiness even after hours outdoors.
Pros: – Water and sweat-resistant – Smooth application – Medium coverage
Cons: – Feels dry on flaky skin – Limited shade range
For $6, it’s comparable to long-wear drugstore foundations like Revlon ColorStay.
Verdict: Exceeded expectations. Perfect for hot or humid weather.
US $3.9
Overall Impression
Honestly, I was surprised by how well most of these products performed. I expected at least a few duds, but nearly every item met or exceeded expectations. Delivery times were faster than I expected, packaging was solid, and the prices are unbeatable compared to US brands. I’ll definitely be ordering more from AliExpress—especially beauty items. I’d recommend these products if you want to experiment without breaking the bank.
