This is probably the most luxuriously packaged cushion I own! It's not girly like the Etude House cushions or vaguely cheap-looking like the Innisfree ones. Instead it's a very pretty silvery casing, which is a little bulkier than the Innisfree cushion but since I don't tend to bring my cushions with my throughout the school day for touchups, the extra bulk isn't a big deal. It definitely leans lighter than Etude - I got the darkest shade from IOPE and the darkest shade from Etude's Precious Mineral cushion, and I hate to say Etude was a better match for me; IOPE is just a tad too light. However I hope it gets better when I get a little more pale during the winter! The coverage is a very natural medium coverage that could probably be built up. It doesn't appear cakey nor does it settle into my dry patches. It's also SPF 50! Which is a nice plus even though it's not a reason to skimp on proper sunscreen. There's a very light, slightly flowery scent that lingers a little after application, but it doesn't bother me too much. The refill is nice because it means you're really spending $35 on two cushions, not one... at least that's how I'm justifying this to myself...
