The Samsung X Laneige collaboration was inspired by the similarities between the packaging and design of Laneige’s Neo Cushion and Samsung’s Galaxy Buds Pro. In this collaboration, you’ll see the Laneige Neo Cushion spruced up in Samsung’s trademark “Phantom Violet” colour to match the Galaxy Buds Pro.
The collaboration set will include 1 pair of Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro earbuds and a Laneige Neo Cushion Matte in the shade N21.
Samsung and Laneige’s collaboration will be released on 12th April 2021, and it will cost KRW199,000 (~USD177.03).
It is significantly cheaper to purchase them through this set. Samsung Galaxy Pro Buds and Laneige Neo cushion will usually cost KRW239,800 (~USD213.33) and KRW25,000 (~USD22.24) respectively if you get them on their own.

When Laneige first released the Neo Cushion in 2020, many were impressed by the casing as it seemed to look like a tech product, instead of being a makeup item.
The simple rounded square casing was something that made the Laneige’s cushion stand out from its competitors as cushions sold on the market are usually circular.
Previously, Samsung has collaborated with sportswear brands such as Fila and Adidas to release limited edition merchandise for the Galaxy Buds Pro.
