Review: Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Sheet Mask

17. August 2014

As you might have read in my post about Wishtrend’s latest promotions, they do offer Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Sheet Mask as special gift in this month. I’ve tried this moisturising sheet mask myself and here is my impression on how it works on my skin.

Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Sheet Mask

Klairs is a Korean brand sold on Wishtrend. It is eco-friendly, claimimg to produce products which are animal-testing-free, alcohol-free, paraben-free, and articial-color-free. Their products adress people with sensitive skin and people who want to moisturize their skin. I reviewed the Klairs Illuminating Supple BB cream, which is one of my favourite BB creams so far, apart from Missha’s Perfect Cover BB cream.

Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Sheet Mask

It seems that Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Sheet Mask is very popular if you are looking for a moisturizing sheet mask. Its description says, that it contains half a bottle of essence, which sounds really amazing. The sheet mask is produced from 100% cotton, too, and it feels really soft. It is not separated through any additional plastic or paper in order to make it easier to unfold, but since this produces less waste, it is probably part of being eco-friendly. The ingredients list can be found on Wishtrend and also their description is very detailled as usual. The ingredients are mostly green flagged and there is only one preservative included (see at COSDNA). The ingredients list contains fragnance, but you barely smell any scent. It also contains fermented fruit juice. The front of the packaging is written in English, the back side contains Korean description. The packaging design is clean and reminds a bit of Kiehl’s cosmetics. The mask is soaked very well with the essence, but it doesn’t drip at all. Your skin feels very nicely moisturized and refreshed after using and it also absorbs into the skin after a time. I even could use makeup on top, which is not possible with some other masks. This mask is very recommendable for everybody looking for a moisturizing and mild sheet mask for every day. It isn’t too heavy or to strong and people with sensitive skin will probably like it, too. If you put it into the fridge before using it, it will give you an extra cooling boost. This sheet masks costs 1.99 US$ and is available at Wishtrend. You can also get it in larger amounts and you’ll receive extra free masks then. For example, if you buy 10 masks you get 3 extra sheet masks, or if you buy 20 you even get 10 additional free sheet masks…I think these are great deals if you are a sheet mask user on a regular basis. Also, have a look at my post about the August promotions from Wishtrend. I’ll explain how you can get a 5 US$ coupon upon registration, how you can get a 10% discount coupon and most improtant, how you’ll receive one free Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Sheet Mask with your order! You can find all the coupon codes >>here<<.

Review: ONL Saladit Essential Juice Sheet Masks ♥sponsored♥

14. June 2014

It’s a whole bunch of sheet mask for today’s post. I present ONL Saladit Essential Juice Sheet Masks, a set of sheet masks available at Wishtrend. I’ve been trying to reduce my sheet mask stash and I have managed to have only 5 left. Can you imagine this?! :D Time to buy new ones, haha! These sheet masks from ONL are dedicted to different vegetables and help to nourish and care for your skin each in it’s specific way. I tried all of them for you and here is my impression:

First of all, let’s take a moment and have a look at this packaging: it is so colorful, almost like a rainbow, if you put the masks side by side. Really lovely! I love the point that they rounded the packaging on one side, it looks more individual compared to all the other sheet mask packages. Having the main ingredient displayed is a wonderful idea, too…and the vegetable look like a glas of juice with the drinking straw sticking out of them :D

On the backside each sachet contains a description and images how to use the masks. It is self explaining, so it doesn’t matter that the description is only in Korean. For the specific effects of each mask it would have been nice to have some english translation, too. But you’ll find detailled description about ONL Saladit Essential Juice Sheet Masks on Wishtrend. The sheet mask itself is soaked very generously and the cotton sheet has a good quality. It doesn’t feel like it will get destroyed immediately, nevertheless it feels smooth.

The ingredients contain according to COSDNA two red flagged substances: PEG/PPG-17/6 Copolymer, a solvent, and Triethanol Amine, for PH Adjustment. My skin didn’t react negatively to the sheet masks, but if you have very sensitive skin, make a test before. The sachet contains enough essence for testing. I will explain shorty about each mask:

Cucumber Juice Sheet Mask:

+ For Extremely dry skin.
+ Water bomb sheep mask
with rich moisturizing.
Instant hydrating by hyaluronic acid.
Calm down aroused dead skin cells.
Deep soothing and skin protection

This mask had a light cucumber-ish scent when I opened the sachet. It was not intense though and mixed with the typical scent of most sheet masks. It felt cooling and refreshing when applied. afterwards the skin looked relaxed. Hyaloronic acid helps to moisturize the skin.

Pumpkin Juice Sheet Mask:

Quick recovery of tired skin.
Brings back elasticity to your skin.
+ Honey, pumpkin, collagen juice
blended in together.
+ Rich nourishment from
natural ingredients.

This one had a sweet (pumpkin) scent. After I used the mask and I waited for the essence to absorb my skin felt more bouncy and firmer. I liked this maks a lot!

Avocado Juice Sheet Mask:

+ Essential vitamin
for vitalizing skincare.
+ Instant nourishment to your skin.
Brightening & Moisturizing.

I love avocado products! Again, the scent was pleasant and had some resemblence with avocado scent. After using the mask the skin feels refreshed, but also very nourished. even on the next day (I apply before sleeping) the skin was very soft, but my T-zone was glowy. People with dry to very dry skin will love this!

Paprika Juice Sheet Mask:

For Stressed and Tired skin.
Instant refreshing, cooling effect.
+ Revitalizing of skin cell layer.
+ Skin boosting energy
by natural vitamin source.

This time I didn’t recognise any Paprika scent. The mask felt light compared to the other masks and it was refreshing. Ididn’t feel anything else or special about this one.

Cabbage Juice Sheet Mask:

+ Quick soothing mask
    for Tired skin.
+ Effective remedy for
   Trouble and Sensitive skin.
Deep soothing and skin protection.
+ Natural vitamin for vitalizing skincare.

Luckily, the Cabbage Juice mask doesn’t scent like cabbage. It had a pleasant scent and surprisingly it was the most cooling/refreshing sheet mask. I could feel a nice soothing effect here.

Did you try ONL Saladit Essential Juice Sheet Masks already? What do you think about them?

All in all, I enjoyed using these masks. Avocado, pumpkin and cabbage were my favorite masks from this range. Each mask costs 2.50 US$, so it’s quite affordable. Wishtrend has a Beautysteal for ONL Saladit Essential Juice Sheet Masks, too. For 11.25 US$ you’ll receive all of these masks plus 2 randomly chosen ones as gift. This makes them even more affordable, so check out Wishtrend Beautysteals. If you use my invitation code 17939205 upon registration or use my invitation link >>here<< you’ll receive a 5 US$ voucher immediately. Btw: Wishtrend has a free shipping zone. If you order any of the items in this category you’ll save the money for the shipping, too. One of the products offered at the moment is Klair’s Supple Blemish Balm I reviewed previously.

Review: Damoae Therapy Shampoo and Tonic ♥sponsored♥

27. May 2014

Have you herad about the Damoae Therapy Shampoo and Tonic hair treatment available at Wishtrend? I discovered there was a video on their Youtube channel and when I was asked if I would like to try this, I was more than curious. I have very frizzy and dry hair which is naturally curled. It was damaged quite a lot when I decided to cut it back and re-grow it with more care, and this shampoo did help me, surprisingly! I didn’t expect it to be a magical potion for beautiful hair, but it did some respectable job, as you will see at the end of the post. Keep reading if you are interested :)

Damoae Therapy Shampoo and Tonic

Damoae is a Korean brand available at Wishtrend. It comes in a medical designed packaging and the ingredients are based on plants mostly. The Therapy Shampoo and Tonic are designed for hairloss and dandruff prevention. I personally don’t have any problems with hairloss yet, but it is proven that not only men will loose their hair with growing age, but also women will feel their hair becoming thinner and weaker. I never had the strongest hair, but my main concern has always been the lack of shininess. Because of my natural curls my hair is mostly dry. I started using hair oils, which help a great deal already. The Damoae Therapy Kit, consisting of the shampoo and the tonic have a sleek simple packaging. I’ll start of with the Shampoo first:

Damoae Therapy Shampoo and Tonic

The shampoo comes in a pump bottle made of sturdy plastic. Although having a simple packaging, the quality is really good, as well the cardbox packaging and the pump bottle don’t appear to be easily broken. The cardboard box unfortunately contains only Korean description, but on Wishtrend you’ll find a very detailled description and an advertising video. The shampoo is KFDA and FDA (US) approved and the formula was patented and clinically prooven. The description on Wishtrend says:

What is DAMOAE? Damoae is made of natural Chinese medicinal herbs that can be ingested, and there for is not harmful to the body. This product is patent proven to increase hair count as well as effectively treat dandruff and has been approved by the KFDA as a hair loss prevention product that increases hair growth and thickness.

Damoae consists of 17 natural herbs used in Chinese medicine, including dried orange peels, aloe, and peppermint. These ingredients work together to perform the most ideal medical action on the scalp to prevent hair loss and treat dandruff at the same time.

By continuously using Damoae, you can see improvement in the following areas: hair loss, dandruff, scalp itchiness, seborrheic dermatitis, damaged hair, and more! You’re scalp will feel clean and your hair will feel luxuriously thick and smooth!

It also says, that no conditioner is needed, since the shampoo contains natural conditioning agents. Instead you should wash your hair twice with the Shampoo.

Damoae Therapy Shampoo and Tonic

When you receive the pump bottle, it is securely locked, so there won’t leak out any product during transportation. Once you turn the pump dispenser, it is unlocked and can be used like any other pump. The bottle contains 300 g. The production date and the expiration date are printed on the backside of the pump bottle.

Damoae Therapy Shampoo and Tonic

Damoae Therapy Shampoo and Tonic

The shampoo has a transparent yellow color and the amount which is dispensed with one pump has the size of a small coin. It looks like it is not a lot, but it is definitively enough if you double wash your hair. I discovered that it hardly lathers the first time I wash my hair, but the second time I wash my hair it lathers up really nicely. The scent is a citrus/ herbal scent and might be not everybody’s liking, but it is somehow refreshing. I also had the feeling that it felt cooling on my scalp, which would be somehow logical if the shampoo aims at soothing your scalp and vitalizing your heads skin.

Damoae Therapy Shampoo and Tonic

After washing while my hair is still wet it doesn’t feel super soft, like it would feel when using a silicone based conditioner, nevertheless it is easily to comb through.

The second product of the hair treatment is a tonic. The packaging is similar to the shampoo, but the bottle is a bit smaller than the bottle for the shampoo.  It contains 150 ml.

Damoae Therapy Shampoo and Tonic

Also here the packaging only contains Korean description, but detailled description is written on Wishtrend webpage.

Damoae Therapy Shampoo and Tonic

In contrast to the shampoo, the tonic essence comes in a bottle with a turnable spraying nozzle. It is protected by a clear plastic cap. You are supposed to spray it on your scalp after washing your hair and massage it on your scalp with your fingers.

Damoae Therapy Shampoo and Tonic

The tonic looks like water and has a clear consistency. The scent is the same as the shampoo.

Damoae Therapy Shampoo and Tonic

According to COSDNA all the ingredients of the shampoo are either labelled with a yellow or a green flag and the products consist of a lot of plant ingredients. The same goes for the tonic. Except of the tonic contains Salicylic acid, which gets a red flag in COSDNA, but salicylic acid also has benefits for acne preventation and it will probably be beneficial if your scalp is suffering from acne or red spots.

Now, let’s get to the main part: how was the effect of the Damoae Therapy Hair Treatment Kit on my hair? I used it for about a month and below I will show you the pictures of my hair before starting the treatment and afterwards. Except of the two products showed above I only used hair oil in my length.

Damoae Therapy Shampoo and Tonic Damoae Therapy Shampoo and Tonic

The images speak for themselves, don’t they? My hair is definitively more shiny and it feels better and stronger. When using the tonic the hair feels more volumized at the roots. My bf used the shampoo, too, and it made the same discoveries about the feel of the hair.

I’m totally loving this hair treatment and I can recommend to give it a try. The only downside of it is the price, which is pretty expensive compared to drug store shampoos- although the bottle really lasts quite some time, since the pump dispenser prevents you from using excessive amounts. So it lasts quite long. You can get Damoae Therapy Shampoo and Tonic from Wishtrend. If you use my invitation code 17939205 upon registration or use my invitation link >>here<< you’ll receive a 5 US$ voucher immediately.  The tonic costs 38.99 US$, the shampoo costs 34.99 US$, but there is a kit containing both for 66.58 US$ on Wishtrend. Another point is, that Wishtrend has a free shipping zone with products, which can be obtained for free international shipping, e.g. Klair’s Illuminating Supple Blemish Balm I reviewed previously.

What is your favourite hair treatment? Do you have any Shampoo you’re in love with and that helped you a lot with the condition of your hair?

Review: Klairs Illuminating Supple Blemish Cream

29. April 2014
I’m back with a BB cream review ^_^ Yeeiii! This time it is about Klairs Illuminating Supple Blemish Cream, which was kindly send to me for reviewing purpose by Wishtrend. This BB cream is a all-in-one product, combining sunscreen, primer, foundation, and finishing powder…Sounds amazing! Moreover, the Klairs Illuminating Supple Blemish Cream allows to create a very natural look, and yet gives a good coverage. Let’s see what my thought are on this product:
 
The Korean brand Klairs is an eco-friendly cosmetic brand. Their products are not tested on animals, don’t contain parabens, alcohol or artificial coloring. All their products have a simple, but vintage kind of design which I personally love. The Klairs Illuminating Supple Blemish Cream comes therefore in a sleek tube. The colors are restricted to black and cream-colored. I especially love the words written below the product’s name saying “You look so wonderful just the way you are”. Who doesn’t want to start the day reading these words in front of the mirror while still halfway asleep?!:D
It has SPF 40 PA++ by using ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, isoamyl p-methoxycinnamate, titanium dioxide, Bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine and zinc oxide within the ingredients, which makes it great for daily use. It also contains Hyaluronic Acid and Aloe extracts for providing moisture. According to COSDNA the ingredients are not harmful (click >>here<<). One preservative (Methylisothiazolinone) is mentioned to potentially cause allergic reactions, which wasn’t the case while I used the product. The ingredients list and descripton are written on the cardboardbox in Korean and English as well.
  Klairs Illuminating Supple Blemish Cream
The 40 ml soft plastic tube has a plastic cap which is easily to unlock and lock again. The application is not complicated in any ways. Although, sometimes I prefer a pump instead of a normal tube. Nevertheless, the cream is neither to fluid, nor to solid, which makes it easy to get out the perfect amount of BB cream needed for your face. I’ve been using this BB cream for a long time now and I’m pleased to say, that I didn’t react to it in any negative way.
The description says that this BB cream is suitable for all skin types, so I did the simple  “BBcream on blotting paper” test in order to see how oily the product is. I don’t think that this test is representative on how good it will work on your skin, but it could give you an idea, if you do the same test of your favourite BB cream and compare the oily circle around the BB cream droplet. As you can see, it definitively shows up some oiliness around, but I’ve seen worse BB creams after 4 hours. This one is still “okay” in my eyes, so it might also be suited for oily skintypes. According to the description the Klairs Illuminating Supple Blemish Cream contains sebum controll powder, which will help to keep the facial oil production at bay.
How does the BB cream perform on skin finally? As I said, I’ve tried this BB cream for a while now and I love the finish. Below you can see the cream on my hand. On the bottom right side of the image you see how it looks blended in. I would say that it blends in perfectly! Yet, it does give the skin some kind of illumination. The color looks very natural and the BB cream doesn’t look like being a heavy or thick layer.
 
 It looks super natural on my skin and blends in perfectly with my natural skin color. It doesn’t have high coverage, but it gives your skin an airbrushed look. It reduces the appearance of redness (take a closer look at the skin around my nose and cheek. The differences might be small/not visible when you just take a quick look from afar, but I can ensure you that my skin looks perfect to go outside while only using this. It also has a semipowdery finish, doesn’t feel sticky and leaves the skin soft and smooth. It doesn’t make my (dry) skin look greasy at all, although it has a subtle glow…also, it did not flake around my nose the whole day, which I experience very rarely.
So far the Klairs Illuminating Supple Blemish Cream is my BB cream to go! It contains sunprotection, perfect for daily wear, gives you a natural look with an airbrushed effect and simply looks very nice on the skin. I can recommend you to try this product! I think it will convince you. If you are looking for coverage as main point, I wouldn’t go for this BB cream, though! Nevertheless, when paired up with the new Klairs Creamy & Natural Fit Concealer it might be also a nice daily BB cream for people with more troubled skin, looking for a light finish. You can get Klairs Illuminating Supple Blemish Cream from Wishtrend. If you use my invitation code 17939205 upon registration or use my invitation link >>here<< you’ll receive a 5 US$ voucher immediately. It retails normally at 24.99 US$  on Wishtrend and contains 40 ml. And you’ll find a more detailed product description on their web page, too.

Review: O’SUM Aloe Vera Soothing Mist

24. April 2014
Slowly the temperatures are getting warmer here in Germany and I’m really looking forward for summer these days. I also discovered that my skin is not as super dry as it is during cold winters anymore, but it slowly regenerates to be dry to normal skin. Time to get a little change in my skincare routine. First of all, I love using products containing Aloe Vera during the warmer seasons. I was overly happy when I received my first MeMeBox (review >>here<<) which contained O’SUM’s Aloe Vera Soothing Mist and it is now part of my skincare routine.
O'SUM Aloe Vera Soothing Mist

This is the first product I tried from O’SUM, an “organic skin care line based in the Jeju Islands” as it is written on the product. This travel friendly Aloe Vera Soothing mist comes in a green colored see-through plastic bottle with a spraying nozzle. The packaging is plain and sticks to a green color scheme, which fits to the image of being a natural/organic product. Other than that the design is simply clean and doesn’t have anything special about it (I personally do not mind a simple design, as long as it does not look cheap, and this is definitively not the case).
O'SUM Aloe Vera Soothing Mist
The fact that it is a mist makes it easy to apply. Furthermore the mist is super fine (a lot finer than the mist by Recipe by Nature Spray Essence >>review here<<). It has a cooling and thus refreshing feeling while applying. And it absorbs quickly into the skin without being sticky. The scent is typical for Aloe Vera products, but not too intense either. The ingredients list is short and the only potential irritant is Benzyl alcohol. My skin didn’t get any irritated since I’m using it. Here are the ingredients:
Water, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Inositol, Propanediol, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Decyl Glucoside, Limonene, Dehydroacetic Acid, Benzyl Alcohol, Hydrolyzed Jojoba Esters, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate
O'SUM Aloe Vera Soothing Mist
The description of the packaging is mainly in Korean. The front side has a brief English description though, which is better than nothing.
I integrated it into my beauty routine as a replacement for a toner and it works out nicely. You can also use it for refreshing yourself during the day and it is also usable on makeup and works as makeup fixer, too. Honestly speaking, I have nothing negative to say, except of, that you have to order in online in most countries. But don’t fear if you missed the MeMeBox and are longing to try this: You can also get it from Wishtrend. If you use my invitation cod17939205 upon registration or use my invitation link >>here<< you’ll receive a 5 US$ voucher immediately. The O’SUM Aloe Vera Soothing Mist costs 17.50 US$ on Wishtrend and contains 80 ml, which really go a long way. And you’ll find a more detailled product description etc. on their web page.

Review: Wish Formula Panda Eye Essence Mask

18. April 2014
I love using eye masks, when I feel my eyes are tired and I recognise puffiness around my eye area. The cooling sensation directly makes me feel relieved. Since there are a lot of those eye masks, I’m currently trying several different ones. That is how I stumbled upon Wish Formula Panda Eye Essence Mask from Wishtrend.

This eye mask comes in a black sachet with a cute panda bear on it smiling at you :D. The ingredients are written on the front directly, and in English, too. Each sachet contains two eye masks, one for each eye.
Here are the ingredients of the eye mask:
water, ascorbic acid, saccharomyces, Viscum Album (Mistletoe) Ferment extract, butylene glycol, saccharomyces/Imperata cylindrica Root ferment extract, sodium lactate, lactobacillus/soybean ferment extract, black strap powder, arbutin, 1,2-Hexanediol, bacillus ferment, centella asiatica extract, aspergillus/Saccharomyces/Glycyrrhiza uralensis root extract ferment filtrate, PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil, xanthan gum, arginine, tocopherylacetate, backhousia citriodora leaf oil, adenosine, honey, phenoxyethanol
The ingredients are really nice and no harmful ingredients are contained. Yeast fermented extracts are one of the main ingredients. Also, it contains Vitamin C and vitamin E. You can check the ingredients on COSDNA >>here<<. On the back side of the sachet the instructions are written on Korean only, but the image of how to wear the eye mask are sufficient enough for using the mask.
This eye mask is supposed to hydrate the skin around your eyes and provide nourishment with different extract in order to prevent the skin from aging effects. As soon as you open the package you should use it right away, so that the vitamin C does not oxidise. The color of the essence is yellow. The eye mask sheets are not separated by an additional plastic foil but stick together. The sachet also contains a quite amount of leftover essence. I used the leftover essence by its own the days after using the mask itself.
The eye mask delivers a proper amount of moisture for the skin around the eye area. Also, it gives you a cooling sensation, especially if you keep it in the refrigerator before. After using it my eyes look less tired and puffy. Since the ingredients are really nice and the effects of both vitamin C and yeast fermented extract are known, I’m sure, that these eye masks will show some kind of longterm effect (see my review on OST Vitamin C serum if you are interested >>here<<). I really want to try more of these eye masks. You can get these masks from Wishtrend for 2.99 US$ each or in a box with 10 sachets for 18.99 US$. If you are not yet registered on Wishtrend you can use the promo code 17939205 or my invite link to receive a 5 US$ coupon before making your first purchase.

 

 
As you can see I’ve changed my rating system. I’m using a scale of 10 points for the categories design, application, ingredients, hygiene, effect and price. The average points build total rating. Hope you like this way better than it was before :)

Review: Skinmiso Rice Foam Cleanser

9. February 2014
Here is another foam cleanser I’m using at the moment: Skinmiso Rice Foam Cleanser. I’m always curious about skincare products containing rice ingredients, since rice is well known for its skin benefits. This foam cleanser is claimed to be the best facial foam cleanser by Wishtrend, where you can buy it.


The packaging is simple and looks very clinical. It gives the impression of being a medical product. Indeed, the product description says that it contains many natural ingredients derived from plants, so it should be beneficial for the skin.

 

Here is the description taken from Wishtrend:

The best facial cleansing foam !

SKINMISO’s Rice Foam Cleansing is the best facial cleansing foam ! It uses many natural ingredients derived from plants so that the product is not harmful to your skin. It effectively removes dirt, dead skin cells, and makeup from your skin all while keeping your skin moisturized by regulating the sebum-water balance !

 
Features:
 
Removes dead skin cells, excess sebum, and cleans deep into pores.
Papaya extracts in this facial cleansing foam gently removes dead skin cells and excess sebum without damaging your skin. 
Effectively removes sun block, BB cream, and other makeup !The fine yet rich lather of this facial cleansing foam has great capabilities to effectively remove all types of makeup that has built up on your skin during the day.
Regulates skin’s sebum-water balance and nourishes for clear skin !Rice extract included in this facial cleansing foam serves as a great regulator of sebum-water balance. It also adds much needed nutrients to your skin. 
Plus-10 Patented Complex !This patented complex is comprised of the 10 ingredients found in nature. This formula increases elasticity of your skin and is also a great antioxidative agent.

 

Recommend

This facial cleansing foam is perfect for :

  • People who have excess sebum secretion.
  • People who have dead skin cell build up on their skin.
  • People who have dull looking skin.
  • People who are concerned about their whiteheads and blackheads.
  • People who want clean but not dry skin.
  • People who want an effective facial cleansing.
 
Ingredients: 

Water, Myristic Acid, Butylene Glycol, Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate, Lauric Acid, Potassium Hydroxide, Stearic Acid, Cocamide DEA, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Glycerin, PEG-6, Diglycerin, Glycol Stearate, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Extract, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin, Fragrance, Carica Papaya (Papaya) Fruit Extract, Disodium EDTA, Allantoin, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Morus Alba Bark Extract, Phellinus Linteus Extract, Paeonia Albiflora Root Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract

 

The product has the typical moussy consictency of foam cleansers. It is white colored and has a difficult to describe scent. I’m not good in describing scents anyway, but the scent is a mixture between sweet and fresh, but it is neither flowery nor herbal….>_<”’ Excuse me that I’m not able to describe it in a better way…

It lathers into a fine and rich foam. If I use my new Konjak Sponge I only need a tiny amount and I get enough foam already. I think it will be the same if you use a cleansing brush. The cleansing effect is also good. It cleanses reliably make-up. The skin feels clear and soft afterwards and also a bit brightened up- which is probably the effect of the removed dead skin cells. For very dry skin: don’t forget to use moisturizer afterwards, because it is not leaving your skin moisturized. But that’s with almost all foam cleansers. I think this cleanser will work great on oily skin, because of the sebum reduction effect it claims to have. Since I have dry skin mostly, I cannot judge this part. I’ve been using this foam cleanser for 4 weeks now and it didn’t give me any irritations or breakouts.

If you are curious about this foam cleanser you can have a look at Wishtrend’s online store. It is available for US$ 12.99. At the moment it is available with free shipping as far as I know. If you’ve never ordered at Wishtrend you’ll get a one-time free shipping voucher upon registration.

Review: Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream

30. October 2013
I took the pictures for this post months ago, but I was somehow too busy and lazy to write a review. I know there are a lot of reviews already about the Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream and I can only advise you to read more than one review if you are unsure to buy this. I bought 2 tubes of this gel cream several months ago from f2+1 on ebay since it was really cheap and I was so curious how effective the snail secretion filtrate will be, since it has a high content of it.
Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream
Mizon is a Korean brand and the Multi Funcional Formula Snail Repair Line is most well known amonst their products. They have very affordable and promising skincare products in their product range. The Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream is the perfect product for snail mucus newbies. And don’t worry, the cream or nothing about its consistency will make you think of snails, except the name…and for animal lovers: no animal was harmed for obtaining snail mucus. All Mizon products I tried so far have a sealed packaging with a reflective sticker to show the authenticity. The product comes in a pale pink cardboard box and inside you’ll find the tube for the Snail Recovery Gel Cream. Using a tube is a great idea, since it is more hygienic than a jar, if you tend to use your fingers. The tube comes with a screw cap. The design is simply, but the color and the snail shape on the tube make it cute in a way.
The Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream claims to have a multifunction formula. The description on the packaging states:

Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream
Why should one use Snail Secretion Filtrate?

Snail Mucus claims to be rich in hyaluronic acid and antioxidants and thus help our skin to regenerate stimulating the formation of collagen, elastin and dermal components that repair the signs of photoaging. Also, it claims to minimize the damage generated by free radicals that are responsible for premature skin aging (there is a wikipedia entry for snail mucus, too.).

Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream
Mizon’s Snail Recovery Gel Cream is a clear gel with a watery consistency. It absorbs quickly into the skin and doesn’t leave any stickiness. Nevertheless, since I have dry skin, it is not moisturizing enough and I’ll recommend to use a moisturizer afterwards. The gel has no specific scent on its own. What where the results after using nearly two tubes of Mizon’s Snail Recovery Gel Cream? I discovered I don’t get any breakouts anymore. Sometimes a pimple appears, but it is as rare as it ever was. I think the combination with the O.S.T Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum did the trick for me. It supports the healing of little pimples or red skin, at least it was my feeling. If this gel would be more moisturizing, it would be my perfect every-day cream. But considering the prize I can live with applying another moisturizer additionally :D Nevertheless, this makes me curious about the Mizon All In One Repair Cream…I didn’t see any effects for anti-aging, despite firmer skin in general, especially if I put a lot of this gel over night. (Don’t expect this cream (or any other) to make your wrinkles disappear).
Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream
If you are curious about snail secretion filtrate products and don’t want to spend a lot of money on other creams, I can recommend you to try the Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream. It worked out for me, although it is not yet the perfect solution I’m wishing for, but I don’t regret buying it and I could imagine buying it again. Each tube contains 45 ml and is available on various seller on ebay for around 4 US$, which is super affordable!

Review: O.S.T Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum

23. October 2013

EDIT: A new version of the  O.S.T Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum has been released, which is called C21.1 Advanced Serum. If you have sensitive skin I can recommend you to check out the review on the new formula >>here<<.

A couple of month ago I took part in one of Wishtrend’s giveaways and I was very lucky to be chosen as one of the winners. Around two weeks later I got a package from Wishtrend containing the popular O.S.T. Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum. I’ve read a couple of reviews for this serum before and it did seem to work greatly on most of the reviewers, so I was especially curious for the effects.

O.S.T Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum

The brand O.S.T or C20 is best known for exactly this serum reviewed here. O.S.T or C20 belongs to the same manufacturer as COSRX and Ciracle and is a Korean brand. The signature packaging of the O.S.T Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum is the orange cardboard box containing a brown glass bottle with an orange label. Many people will ask themselves why to use a vitamin C serum in their skincare routine? Usually, Vitamin C serums help to keep your skin nourished. Vitamin C can help brighten your skin, it can act as chemical peeling when used in a high concentration and it has anti-aging properties. Sounds promising!

The O.S.T Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum  has a volume of 30 ml and a shelf-life of 12 months after opening, although, since it is a vitamin C serum which oxidizes by time, you should use it up as quickly as possible. The cardboard box shows the detailed Korean description of the packaging. You can find English description on Wishtrend.
O.S.T Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum Ingredients of the O.S.T Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum are:
Water, Ascorbic Acid, Ethanol, Sodium Lactate, Butylene Glycol, Glucose, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Rosa Davurica Bud Extract, Carthamus Tinctorius Flower Extract, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil. Sodium Hyaluronate, Bis-PEG-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane, Diethoxyethyl Succinate, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Xanthan, PEG-180, Gluconolactone, Beta-Glucan, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Oil, Zinc PCA, Panthenol, Niacinamide, Glycerin, Tocopherylacetate, Lecithin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Ubiquinone, Diisopropyladipate, phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben

O.S.T Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum

According to COSDNA the ingredients of this vitamin C serum are safe to use. There are some minor irritants though. Apart from vitamin C, the key ingredient, the O.S.T Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum contains a mostly different moisturizers, some plant extracts as antioxidants, but also alcohol (Ethanol). Methylparaben is also listed in the ingredients. Sodium lactate, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide are some of the positive ingredients here, acting as moisturizer and brightener. Vitamin C is an antioxidant and thus can prevent our skin from aging early. The content of Vitamin C in this serum is very high compared to other vitamin C serum. It contains 20 % vitamin C. You have to know that a high concentration of Vitamin C doesn’t mean automatically that it is more effective concerning anti-aging. Normally, a high concentration of Vitamin C aims at a visible effect, because it tends to operate as a peeling by loosening dead and old cells. This is not a bad effect and stimulates the skin to regenerate itself, but keep in mind that it won’t affect the inner cell layers of your skin which have to be aimed if you really want an anti-aging effect.

The orange color of the packaging may be simple, but it reminds people of orange fruits, especially oranges, which makes them think about vitamin C automatically. The bottle inside comes with a sealed cap and a separately packed pipette. The pipette is very useful for the application of the serum and makes it possible to apply the serum carefully. Since vitamin C can oxidize the brown bottle is a good choice to prevent this, but you are even more safe if you store it additionally in the fridge, because warm/high temperatures can degrade the vitamin C as well.
Also make sure to close the cap of the bottle always tightly! As you can see in the image above, the color of the serum is a very light yellow. The color becomes more pigmented the longer you keep the serum, so it is best to use it as soon as possible, once the bottle is opened. A strong yellow color only means your vitamin C serum has oxidized!
As to the structure of the serum: it is a bit less fluid than water, similar to oil and has a similar thick consistency. When applied on the skin it leaves the skin with stickiness. I had no problems with the stickiness as long as I applied it only before sleeping. During daytime I didn’t want to have the sticky feeling. Finally, I started mixing 2-3 drops of the serum with my toner or moisturizer in the morning, which worked great and was much less sticky than putting it on your skin alone. The scent reminds me a bit of oranges. So, what effects did this serum have on my skin? I tested it for around 2 months now and it does some nice work on the skin: my skin feels more even and smooth and appears cleaner. I didn’t see a whitening effect or any effects on my black-/whiteheads (but I really don’t have many of them to begin with…). It seems the peeling effect by the vitamin C works really nice and the skin regenerates itself a bit, resulting in the nice feeling of my skin which I had. Since I liked the effect of it I can recommend you to try O.S.T Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum by yourself. Perhaps it improves your skin, too and/or even helps with the other skin problems. One negative part I recognized was, that the serum stings the first few minutes after application. After a while this effect is not noticeable anymore though. If you tend to have dry skin like me, this serum can be a bit drying, but you can either mix the serum with a moisturizer or apply moisturizer afterwards.
I really like the O.S.T Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum! It is affordable compared to other concentrated vitamin C serums and it is effective in terms of smoothing your face and making it look healthier. EDIT, since I can know compare this Vitamin C serum to the reformulated O.S.T C20 Pure Vitamin C21.5 Advanced Serum: The O.S.T Original Pure Vitamin C20 Serum is much more intense than the O.S.T C20 Pure Vitamin C21.5 Advanced Serum. On the other hand the C21.5 doesn’t contain any parabens or other artificial ingredients. It doesn’t contain alcohol either. Also, it is not as sticky and doesn’t sting as much as the C20. Nevertheless, I had the feeling that the C20 was more effective on my skin. I had more visible results on my skin. Which of the two is the better serum for your skin I cannot tell, but I can recommend you to try rather the C21.1 if your skin is very sensitive. Go for the cheaper C20 if you have quite normal skin. Both serum, the old and the new version can be purchased at Wishtrend. The old O.S.T Original Pure Vitamin C20 comes with free shipping and retails for 14.99 US$ at the moment, which is really affordable for a vitamin C serum. The new O.S.T C20 Pure Vitamin C21.5 Advanced Serum retails for 24.99 US$. Both bottles contain 30 ml. Check out my blog for the monthly coupon codes for your shopping experience at Wishtrend.
