Review: COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patch

16. April 2015

// KBEAUTY / SKINCARE / AFFILIATE LINKS //

Luckily, getting older also brings us a couple of advantages, like less pimples and acne. I had lots of them during my puberty, but times changed and my skin got better and today I’m really happy with my skin apart from having occasionally one or two pimples after eating too much unhealthy food or during the special time of the month. But still we all know the feeling of getting these red bumbs on our face and resisting as good as we can to touch it, or even worse, to squeeze it. I never tried anti-pimple patches before, but the COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patch got so much worldwide attention within the beauty community (it was mentioned by “Cosmopolitan”), that I wanted to try them myself. During Wishtrend’s February promotions they gave one sachet of these for free on every order, and since these patches are quite cheap I bought a second one for me and one for my sister. By the way, during this month you can get a free ElishaCoy Sheet Mask from Wishtrend :)

COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patch

COSRX is a affordable Korean brand “offering good quality beauty items for 10 years”. The brand name is composed of COS for cosmetics and RX for prescription. Brand like Ciracle and C20 (yes, the famous vitamin C serum) are also part of COSRX. One of the rather popular skincare lines from COSRX are the AHA/BHA skincare products. I’ve also bought the BHA Summer Pore Minish Serum and the AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner and I’m looking forward to write the reviews for these two. But let’s get back to the COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patch first:

COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patch

These anti-blemish patches come in a simple sachet packaging. COSRX products have usually very clean and simple packaging designs, reminding of prescription medicine. The sachet has a zip-lock opening, so you can easily store the remaining patches and keep them safe from dust and dirt. Each sachet contains one sheet of patches. There are 24 patches on each sheet (9 large patches (12 mm), 5 medium patches (10 mm) and 10 small patches (7 mm)). Apart from the patches you’ll find an instruction paper in Korean inside the sachet. The backside of the sachet also contains Korean description, but also shows a short English instruction. 

COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patch

All in all, these patches are very easy to use. You find some more English description on Wishtrend about the COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patches. The light yellow colored patches can be applied on a pimple oder blemish after the area has been cleaned and dried of course. It keeps dirt from getting on the inflammated are and also keept you from touching it. The patches are party transparant, so they are not too obvious. I read that some people also use makeup above the patch. So, the patch helps healing your targeted area, and what should I say more….it works. I tried it on a little pimple on my forehead. I applied the patch in the morning. In the evening I removed it, cleansed my skin again and went to sleep. The next morning the pimple was gone. You can see the pictures below:

COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patch

For my low blemish concerns these patches work perfectly. I cannot speak for anyone with more severe skin troubles, but if you are looking for some good and effective anti-acne patches I would recommend these. There must be a reason that so many people seem to like these patches. It proved its effectiveness to me and mabe my before and after pictures encourage you to try it. A sachet of these COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patches containing 24 anti acne patches retails for 4.25 US$ at Wishtrend. and for 5 US$ at Beautytap.

Review: ElishaCoy Aloe & Lavender Mask Sheet

9. April 2015

// KBEAUTY / SKINCARE / SHEETMASK //

Usually, with every order for asian cosmetics there is a special amount of value to reach to get either free shipping or discount etc. Everytime I’m doing such a haul and I just have a bit leftover money to reach the aquired amount I end up buying sheet masks. My sheet mask stash seems to grow too fast, so it is time again for using them up and making some quick reviews on them. Here is the ElsihaCoy Aloe & Lavender Mask Sheet I bought from Wishtrend:

ElishaCoy Aloe & Lavender Mask Sheet

Wishtrend has quite a range of ElishaCoy products and I usually do like their products, too. The brand is a Korean company focussing on natural ingredients. They are quite popular for their “Always Nuddy” BB creams. They have also a couple of sheet masks and this Aloe & Lavender Mask Sheet is one of them. It is designed for moisturizing and soothing the skin with help of the two key ingredients lavender and aloe. The packaging is neat displaying aloe leaves. although it is not really special I like the design because you directly know what key ingredient you have in the mask from the first glance at the packaging.

ElishaCoy Aloe & Lavender Mask Sheet

The description of the product is written in English and Korean on the backside of the sheet mask packaging. Most of the description is in Korean, but you will find detailled English description on Wishtrend anyways. The ingredients are also listed there in English and you can find the product on COSDNA, too. Apart from PEG/PPG-17/6 copolymer listed in the ingredient list, all the other ingredients are safe to use. But don’t worry about the PEG/PPG-17/6 copolymer, the health concerns derived from this ingredient are low but if you know you react to it, then don’t use products including this ingredient. This eco-friendly pulp mask sheet is an essence type sheet mask, so the liquid the sheet mask is soaked with is a clear, watery one. When tearing the package open you will notice a pleasant lavender scent which is nice and not too overpowering. You apply the sheet mask on your clean skin. Eventually, put on toner before using the sheet mask. After 10-20 minutes you can take off the mask and pat the remaining essence into the skin. The material of the pulp sheet is soft and rather thin. It is soaked well with the essence and you will have some essence left in the sachet for using it on your neck, too. (btw.: You know how to you detect an old sheet mask?! I had a Missha Sea Kelp sheet mask in my sheet mask box for ages and I decided you use it finally. When I opened up the package I discovered the sheet mask wasn’t soaked with essence anymore and looked like a dry paper towel….oh no!XD).

ElishaCoy Aloe & Lavender Mask Sheet

The day I used this sheet mask my skin was irritated and itchy all day. I decided it is best to put on something soothing and my first thought was this sheet mask. The moment I put it on the hydrating and cooling effect of this mask relieved my skin finally. It was such a satisfying feeling for me! Moreover, I do like lavender scent because it makes me feel relaxed. This sheet mask fulfilled all my needs at that moment. It was moisturizing and soothing and the itchyness of my skin was stropped. Also, my skin looked less reddened after I took of the mask. I will put these sheet masks on my wishlist and buy a couple of these as soon as my sheet mask stash is getting smaller again, because they definitively fulfilled their purpose, smelled nicely and were hydrating. And they aren’t expansive either. One of these retails for 1.99 US$ on Wishtrend, for 5 sheet masks you pay 9.95 US$ and receive 2 additional masks, and if you buy 10 sheet masks for 19.90 US$ you receive 3 free sheet masks. Oh, and according to the Wishtrend promotions for April you’ll receive one free ElishaCoy Vitamin Collagen Mask Sheet on any order. You can check out my post about the promotions for April >>here<<.  Also, keep in mind their friend-referral program: You can receive a 5 Us$ referral coupon if you use my invitation code 17939205 upon registration and you’ll receive this voucher immediately. There will be a specific field in your registration form called “friends invitation program” where you can put the code mentioned above. This way new customers can safe 5 US$ which is a great possibility to safe some money.

Review: Berrisom My Lip Tint Pack and Lip Tint Cleanser

26. March 2015

At the end of last year I did a review for the Berrisom My Lip Tint Pack, a lip tint tattoo with plenty of popularity in Korea. I really enjoy using it, which made me decide to buy a second shade. There was a special promotion at this time, where you received a free Berrisom Lip Tint Cleanser with you purchase of the Berrisom My Lip Tint Pack, so I will review the Berrisom My Lip Tint Pack and Lip Tint Cleanser today. It will be a picture-heavy post, but you will see a comparison of the swatches of the shade I bought previously (No.3 “Sexy Red”) and the new shade I bought (No.8 “Virgin Red”).

Berrisom My Lip Tint Pack and Lip Tint Cleanser

Berrisom is one of the Korean brands available at Wishtrend. They are mostly known for the Berrisom My Lip Tint Pack I’m showing you here, but they offer some more products in the skincare range, too. The Berrisom My Lip Tint Pack (there was an old version called Berrisom Chu~ My Lip Tint Pack and now it is Oops~ My Lip Tint Pack) is available in 8 different shades. You can use these lip tint packs in order to give your lip a different tinted color. The packaging is designed with kissing lips all over. The color of each box is adjusted to the shade of the tint pack. The color I chose this time is called “Virgin Red” and is a real red color as opposed tob the cherry red color I bought last time. Apparently, there are some fake products from China on the market atm, but there are images on Wishtrend how to detect between the original and the fake product >>here<<.

Berrisom My Lip Tint Pack and Lip Tint Cleanser

The description on the cardboard box is in Korean, but you can look up a very detailled description in English on Wishtrend. There you will also find the ingredients of this lip tint pack, which are all safe according to COSDNA. Moreover, this product contains a lot of plant (fruit) extracts in order to give some care to your lips, too. This makes it a “mask function lip tint” according to the product description.

Berrisom My Lip Tint Pack and Lip Tint Cleanser

Below you can see the two tubes I own right now. On the left side you see No.3 “Sexy Red” and on the right No.8. “Virgin Red”. Both of them contain 15 g of lip tint pack. The new shade I bought has also the shelf life printed on the backside, which is 6 months after opening. Both have sealed caps, and as you can see I’ve used them already, which is why the seal is broken :D.

Berrisom My Lip Tint Pack and Lip Tint Cleanser

The applicator is made of plastic and with my last review I said that the application can be a bit tricky. As you can see below they have changed the applicator and made it thinner, which makes it easier to apply than before. Since it is a peel-off tint pack it is not too important to have precise outlines. For a gradiant lip tint look you’ll have to apply the product on the inner parts of your lips anyways. The lip tint pack has a jelly like constistency, which is a bit sticky (and it has to be), since you’ll have to peel it off afterwards.

Berrisom My Lip Tint Pack and Lip Tint Cleanser

The Berrisom Lip Tint Cleanser comes in the same tube packaging as the Berrisom My Lip Tint Packs. It has a white packaging color though.

Berrisom My Lip Tint Pack and Lip Tint Cleanser

Like the lip tint packs the cardboard packaging contains directions and description in Korean and in English. you can also read more about the cleanser on Wishtrend. Also here the ingredients are safe to use and can be looked up at COSDNA. The Berrisom Lip Tint Cleanser does not only clean your lips from the lip tint, but also contains scrub particles to exfoliate your lips and make them smooth again. Like the lip tint packs it contains 15 ml of product.

Berrisom My Lip Tint Pack and Lip Tint Cleanser

Now, let’s talk about the exciting part, namely the swatches: Below you can see the Berrisom My Lip Tint Pack in “Sexy Red” and “Virgin Red”. From the color of the pack itself you can already see the difference between the two shades. As advertised, “Sexy Red” is a cherry-toned red shade, whereas “Virgin Red” is a strawberry-toned red. After peeling the pack of you can see that both shades leave a visible stain on the back of my hand. And even more important, the shades look distinct. Below the two swatches I will show you the performance of the Berrisom Lip Tint Cleanser, which is a gel-like product with particles inside. When rubbing it over the swatches some of the particles agglomerate with the color of the tint. After rubbing for a while (it is suggested to scrub the lips 1-2 minutes with the cleanser), you can wipe of the product with a tissue or wash it of with water as you like. The image at the bottom shows the result and as you see, there are still some light traces of the lip stain on my hands. This describes how amazing the staying powder of the product is!

Berrisom My Lip Tint Pack and Lip Tint Cleanser

In order for the lip tint pack to work you have to apply a layer of the product on your lips. It doesn’t need to be too thick, just it has to cover your lips. Then, you’ll leave the pack to dry. As soon as the lip tint pack has dried you can peel off an edge and remove the rubber-like layer of the tint. Your lips will be stained from the pack in color you selected. Below, I will show you how the Berrisom My Lip Tint Pack in “Virgin Red” looks on my lips:

Berrisom My Lip Tint Pack and Lip Tint Cleanser

My verdict for this product is still the same as before: The Berrisom My Lip Tint Pack gives your lips a natural and yet visible color. The staying power of this stain is good, as long as you don’t eat do much oily and fatty food. It doesn’t transfer either. Keep in mind that the tint will look best on your lips, if you exfoliate your lips before, so your lips are not too dry or flaky. I didn’t have the feeling that the peeling off hurt my lips in any way. It is also best to start off with your upper lip, because it usually stains less than the lower lip. If you start with the upper lip and peel it off after the lower lip, too, it will have some more time to get stained. The only downside of this lip is, that it takes some time to dry, so it is not an easy to use product for a quick touch-up. You can select between 8 shades  and you will find that they come with a free Berrisom SOS! My Lip Patch at the moment. They also discounted the price from 15.99 US$ to 8.99 US$ at Wishtrend, which is pretty affordable in my eyes! I also made a post about the promotions Wishtrend offers for March >>here<<. Also, keep in mind their friend-referral program: You can receive a 5 Us$ referral coupon if you use my invitation code 17939205 upon registration and you’ll receive this voucher immediately. There will be a specific field in your registration form called “friends invitation program” where you can put the code mentioned above. This way new customers can safe 5 US$ which is a great possibility to safe some money.

Review: Confume Argan Treatment Oil

10. March 2015

The weather is warming up these days and just in time for spring I’m collaborating with a couple of georgeous bloggers in an awesome springtreat Instagram loop giveaway. If you didn’t check it out yet, it is definitively worth doing, since you can win 180 US$ paypal cash plus 80 US$ store credit on Wishtrend! This leads me to my newest review today, which is about Confume Argan Treatment Oil purchased from them, and I will tell you right away that I love this product! ♥

Confume Argan Treatment Oil

Confume Argan Treatment Oil is produced by Welcos, a Korean company. This oil was one of the first Korean hair products I personally heard about. I read a couple of reviews raving about the oil and this made me very curious. It took me about a year nevertheless to finally buy this Argan Oil from Wishtrend and since then I love it and use it almost daily. The design of the argan oil bottle is simple, but induvidual. I can tell it is Confume Argan Treatment Oil from afar, because of the green plastic bottle and the image of the argan tree twig on the front label. The 120 ml bottle comes with a travel sized bottle containing 25 ml. This is awesome if you are either travelling or want to have some hair oil in your handbag for frizzy-hair-days.

Confume Argan Treatment Oil

Both bottles arrive in a plastic packaging. On the backside you can find the description for the product in Korean, but not in English. Luckily Wishtrend provides us with detailled product description >>here<<, but even from the images on the description you can see that this oil targets hair, body and hands.

Confume Argan Treatment Oil

I mainly use this product on my hair, but if I poured out too much oil I also use it on other body parts or my hands instead. That may be my only little downside, too, because the product has a normal screwing cap. A pump would have been far more easy to use. Some of the other hair products from Confume have a pump dispenser, so I’m hoping that they will change the bottle sometime for the Argan Treatment Oil, too. The ingredients are few and safe to use and you can look them up >>here<< on COSDNA if you are interested. The main ingredients is the argan oil as the product name already tells us. This oil obtained from the kernels of the argan tree is highly moisturizing, even more than olive oil, which makes it a very popular ingredient these days.

Confume Argan Treatment Oil

The product itself is a clear colored oil with an amazing scent. Actually, I gave away my travel sized bottle to a friend because she liked the scent so much! You can use this oil either in you towel dry hair after you washed you hair, or on your dry hair. It makes your hair dry fast and protects it in case you blowdry your hair. It makes it also easier to brush your hair. If you use it on dry hair, use it mainly on the ends of your hair (this is for all hair oils). Moreover, as soon as the oil dries off and you comb you hair there is no greasy residue left! Your hair looks shiny and lustrious and smooth…♥

Confume Argan Treatment Oil

So, I have curly and dry hair, which was very long, but also damaged at the beginning of 2014. Back then I decided to cut it short and let it regrow again, taking additional care in order to prevent the previous state of my hair. This was last year in May, I guess, and since then I used this oil regulary and I love it. My hair looks healthy and I rarely have any splitted ends anymore. It also helped to improve the dryness of my hair! Of course it is not only the oil, but a combination of my whole hair care, but I’m sure that this oil helped a lot! I’m almost through with the bottle and I already put a new one in my cart, so I can repurchase this with my next order on Wishtrend. The Confume Argan Treatment Oil retails for 18.45 US$ at Withtrend and it comes with the small travel sized bottle. I made a post about the promotions from Wishtrend for March >>here<<. Also, keep in mind their friend-referral program: You can receive a 5 Us$ referral coupon if you use my invitation code 17939205 upon registration and you’ll receive this voucher immediately. There will be a specific field in your registration form called “friends invitation program” where you can put the code mentioned above.

Review: Pongdang Donkey Milk Emulsion

25. February 2015

You read it in the title, this product contains donkey milk, the key ingredient of Cleopatra’s beauty bath! Pongdang Donkey Milk Emulsion is supposed to be a nutritious moisturiser for all skintypes leaving the skin silky by balancing the moisture and oil on the skin. I’ve been curious to try a donkey milk product since forever- no I’m kidding, actually it was brought to me by the korean beauty industry who started to use this ingredient more often in the past months (?). When I saw that Pongdang has a whole skincare range containing donkey milk I took my chances and ordered the emulsion from Wishtrend.

Pongdang Donkey Milk Emulsion

Pongdang is a Korean brand by people’s. It has a small product range with simple products focussing on the ingredients as it seems to me. They have a webpage >>here<< but it is in Korean. The products have a clean design, which is what was most obvious for me for this brand. You can find their products on Wishtrend.
Pongdang Donkey Milk Emulsion

The Pongdang Donkey Milk Emulsion comes in a surprisingly cute cardboard box. From the images on Wishtrend of the bottle itself I didn’t expect the cardboard box being prettily designed with a donkey illustrated on it. Another surprise for a not internationally well-known brand is the description on the cardboard box which is detailled and not only in Korean, but in English, too, displaying also the ingredients. I checked out the ingredients before I ordered via COSDNA and tis product has a short and good ingredients list. It contains shea butter, various plant oils and donkey milk as main ingredients. Donkey milk is rich in Omega 6, Casein, Hyaluronic Acid, and Betaine which makes it beneficial for skin nourishment and hydration. you will also find all the details on Wishtrend >>here<<.

Pongdang Donkey Milk Emulsion

The emulsion itself comes in a plastic bottle with a simple design. Although the amount in the bottle is huge (it contains 200 ml) the material of the bottle is leightweight and doesnt add much to the weight, which is good.

Pongdang Donkey Milk Emulsion

The back side of the bottle contains some Korean description and some details, displaying again an illustration of a donkey. The expiration date is printed on the bottom of the bottle.

Pongdang Donkey Milk Emulsion

The opening is a simple dispensing hole. You have to squeeze the bottle in order to dispense the product. I think it would be more convenient for such a large volume to have a pump dispenser, like the Pongdang Donkey Milk All-In-One Cream has. There is also a toner from the Pongdang Donkey Milk line! The Pongdang Donkey Milk Emulsion has a milky consistency. It is not a creamy cream and rather light, but not runny like some other emulsions. It has a nice scent. I would describe it as sweet, milky scent. I know the scent reminds me of something, but I don’t know what exactly. I do like the scent- luckily, because lingers quite some time and is strong. The emulsion absorbs quickly and leaves the skin silky soft and is not sticky at all.

Pongdang Donkey Milk Emulsion

The Pongdang Donkey Milk Emulsion retails for 19.99 US$ at Wishtrend. This might sound expensive, but when looking at the size, which is 200 ml, I think that this lasts for a very long time. Most Korean emulsions have 120 ml volume and retail for 15 US$ or even more, depending on the brand. Looking at the volume and the ingredients and also the scent I absolutely love the Pongdang Donkey Milk Emulsion. The application could get easier with a pump bottle though. The only downside I have to remark for this product, or rather the product packaging, is the print on the bottle starts to flake off. The Korean letters for Pongdang on the front are halfway gone already…but this is only a downside of the packaging and not the product itself. I can recommend you to try this product. I can imagine that also people with oily skin might like this, because this emulsion is not heavy or super oily. It also works well with other creams on top since it absorbs fast. I made a post about the promotions from Wishtrend for February >>here<<. Also, keep in mind their friend-referral program: You can receive a 5 Us$ referral coupon if you use my invitation code 17939205 upon registration and you’ll receive this voucher immediately. There will be a specific field in your registration form called “friends invitation program” where you can put the code mentioned above. This way new customers can safe 5 US$ which is a great possibility to safe some money.

Review: Klairs Moisture Rescue Kit Part 2

10. February 2015

A while ago Wishtrend send me the Klairs Moisture Rescue Set for reviewing purpose, which contained a skincare routine in form of four products from the brand Klairs. As you might have seen from my previous reviews of this brand I really do like their products and this is why I’m really happy to be able to review these items for you. I devided this post into two parts and they gonna be picture-heavy. Yesterday I posted Klairs Moisture Rescue Kit Part 1 about the Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner and the Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Serum. Todays review will be on Klairs Moisture Rescue Kit Part 2 and I will talk about the Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Sheet Mask and the Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Cream.

Klairs Moisture Rescue Kit Part 2

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 and the Klairs Gentle Black Cleansing Combo before, which both convinced me in their effects. I was interested in this Rescue Moisture Set especially, because as you know, my skin tends to become drier in winter as it is right now. This set consists with everything you need for a solid skincare routine, starting with toner, serum and moisturizer. The mask sheets on top are a great addition for days you want to treat yourself with extra moisture.

Klairs Moisture Rescue Kit Part 2

After the toner and the serum application I talked about yesterday we arrive at the most important step in your skincare routine. At least in my opinion a good daily and nighttime moisturizer is the important step I would never miss. The Klairs Rescue Moisture Kit comes also with a moisturizing cream for your skincare routine, the Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Cream. This cream is available from Wishtrend for quite some time, and in contrast to the former versions, the new version of this moisturizing cream contains more product for the same price. The volume changed from 45 ml to 50 ml, which is nice. The Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Cream is a rich moisturizing cream for normal and dry skintypes. It is designed to give immediate and long-term hydration for a radiant complexion.

The cream is targeting people who:

– need a moisturizer for your dry skin.
– want a moisturizer cream that reduce’s the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and dry rough skin texture.
– want your skin to deliver a soft and glowing appearance
– want the best face moisturizer that will cure skin peeling and flaking.
– want to relieve the feeling of tight itchy dry skin.
– want a moisturizing that has a creamy texture that absorbs evenly into the skin, leaving the skin feeling smooth to touch.
– need a creamy moisturizer to serve as a better, more hydrating base for makeup.

Typically for Klairs products, the Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Cream comes in a cardboard box made of recycled paper. The box contains a detailled description Korean, but it also mentions some of the points which are important for Klairs products in English, like that the product is alcohol-free, artificial color-free, artificial fragnance-free, paraben-free, no animal testing and respect the enviroment.

Klairs Moisture Rescue Kit Part 2

The cream itself comes in a jar made of sturdy brown colored plastic. You can see the product through the jar. The design fits to the other Klairs products and I like its simplicity. Unfortunately, the cream doesn’t come with a spatula. The ingredients are listed on Wishtrend and according to COSDNA this cream doesn’t contain any red flagged ingredients. Most of them are green or yellow flagged. There are some ingredients which can be irritating to some people, so please be sure to check the ingredients if you know that you are sensitive to special ingredients. The cream contains Glycerine and Hyaluronic Acid as main moisturizing ingredients, but also a lot of plant extracts. Moreover it contains yeast derived Beta-Glucan, like the other Klairs products I described in the first part of the Klairs Moisture Rescue Kit.

Klairs Moisture Rescue Kit Part 2

The label of the jar contains some shorter description, mostly in Korean. Like the other products it also lists an official webpage and an email address for contacting in case of questions etc. I like this idea especially. It even lists a phone number!

Klairs Moisture Rescue Kit Part 2

Below the lid of the jar you’ll find a plastic cover protecting the product from dirt. The production and expiration date is printed on the bottom of the jar.

Klairs Moisture Rescue Kit Part 2

The expiration date is in two years, but th shelf-life for the cream after opening is 12 months. The Klairs Rich Moist soothing cream is a cream type moisturizer. The cream has a rich and creamy structure, but melts easily into the skin once distributed. It has a herbal and refreshing scent and feels cooling upon application. Normally, I don’t like herbal scented product, but I must admit that I do like the scent here, maybe also because the product feels refreshing and cooling on the skin. After the cream absorbs it leaves the skin smooth and gives it a moisturizing glow, but no greasyness. I also would say, that despite the fact that the skin looks more glowy the finish of the cream is on the matte side, maybe a bit silky.

Klairs Moisture Rescue Kit Part 2

All together, this cream is my favourite from all the products I tested in this Moisture Rescue Kit. I love the finish of the cream and I love the refreshing effect of it. It provides a good amount of moisture for my dry skin, but it is not too much and can also be combined with a second lighter moisturizer like an emulsion if you need more hydration. Also, makeup application afterwards is no problem, since this cream provides a good canvas for other products, too. The jar retails for 23.99 US$ on Wishtrend and I think that it is a normal price for a lot of Korean moisturizing creams. I would not mind a larger volume nevertheless and a spatula. :D

So, apart from the regular skincare routine steps, like toner, serum and moisturizer, the Klairs Moisture Rescue Kit also came with a couple of sheet masks from Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Sheet Mask. I reviewed these sheet masks previously >>here<<. I think that this moisturizing sheet mask is a perfect masks for using multiple times a week, maybe some of your prefer even a daily use of hydrating masks and this one is definitively a good choice then.

Klairs Moisture Rescue Kit Part 2

Similar to the other products of Klairs, the design is simple and contains a lot of text. Here, all the text is written in English on the front side of the sheet mask sachet. The back side contains the description in Korean, but the ingredients are listed in English. You can also check the ingredients on COSDNA. Similar to the toner and the serum it contains one red flagged ingredient, which is the preservative Methylisothiazolinone. The key ingredient of this mask is hyaluronic acid, which is the second ingredient in the list. Apart from this a couple of plant extracts are also part of the ingredients for this mask. It also shows in some images how to use the mask. This sheet mask is an essence type sheet mask made of 100% cotton. It feels very smooth upon application, is soaked well with the essence without being too dripping. It is a refreshing and hydrating mask and you can boost the effect by putting the sheet mask into the fridge before using it, so it has a cooling effect, too.

Klairs Moisture Rescue Kit Part 2

I think that this mask is a good every-day mask. It fullfils all the expectations you have for a moisturizing mask. The scent is pleasant and not too strong either. It is also affordable and retails for 1.99 US$ on Wishtrend. If you buy 10 masks you’ll even get 3 for free additionally, and if you buy 20 masks you will get 10 for free. So if you are a daily sheet mask user you can even safe some money here.

Review: Klairs Moisture Rescue Kit Part 1

9. February 2015

A while ago Wishtrend send me the Klairs Moisture Rescue Set for reviewing purpose, which contained a skincare routine in form of four products from the brand Klairs. As you might have seen from my previous reviews of this brand I really do like their products and this is why I’m really happy to be able to review these items for you. I devided this post into two parts and they gonna be picture-heavyKlairs Moisture Rescue Kit Part 1 will talk about the Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner and the Klairs Rich Moist Soothing SerumKlairs Moisture Rescue Kit Part 2 will be about the Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Sheet Mask and the Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Cream.

Klairs Moisture Rescue Kit Part 1

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 and the Klairs Gentle Black Cleansing Combo before, which both convinced me in their effects. I was interested in this Rescue Moisture Set especially, because as you know, my skin tends to become drier in winter as it is right now. This set consists with everything you need for a solid skincare routine, starting with toner, serum and moisturizer. The mask sheets on top are a great addition for days you want to treat yourself with extra moisture.

Klairs Moisture Rescue Kit Part 1

Usually, the first step after cleansing your face is to balance the pH of the skin and helping it to keep moisture by using a toner. This is different from western astringent toners, which tend to be an additional cleansing step here. By giving the skin moisture and an adequate pH it helps other products of your skincare routine to be more effective, too. The Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner claims exactly to have this fuction. It is supposed to be a good start for your facial skincare routine. According to the very throout description from Wishtrend this toner is designed for people who

– need a facial toner that re-hydrates and refreshes skin.
– prefer an alcohol free toner that neutralize skin surface impurities such as excess sebum.
– want a gentle yet effective toner for everyday use.
– have sensitive skin and need products that are free from chemicals and harsh ingredients.

It sounds like a good toner for almost everybody according to the description. The packaging of this toner fits perfectly to all the other products from the Klairs range. It is a simple and yet vintage-like design, focussing on few decorations but a lot of text on the packaging. If you have several Klairs products together they look quite pretty together in the bathroom. The Klairs Supple Facial Prepation Toner comes in a hard plastic bottle. The plastic is brown, but you can see through it in order to check the amount remaining in the bottle.

Klairs Moisture Rescue Kit Part 1

The labels contain a clear description in Korean and English. The ingredients are also listed in English. You can also find the ingredients in the product description on Wishtrend. The ingredients can also be checked via COSDNA. Mostly they are green flagged, but there is also one red flagged preservative included (but in  a small quantity, as it is almost the last ingredient on the list). Apart from this it contains a couple of plant extracts and hyaluronic acid as moisturizing ingredient. Moreover the key ingredients are phyto-oligo and Betaglucan for antiinflammatory effects. The pH of the toner has a weak acidity and lies at 5.

Klairs Moisture Rescue Kit Part 1

The bottle has a regular drop dispensing opening which is closed by a white plastic lid. Although the bottle is of hard plastic you can lightly press it and make the toner come out more easily. The toner itself is transparent and a bit less runny than water. It feels thicker than water, too, but I wouldn’t call it geltype, yet. It feels refreshing on the skin and has a light scent which is a mixture between herbal and flowery scent. After it absorbs the scent is not noticeable anymore. Also, it doesn’t leave stickyness or greasyness on your skin.

Klairs Moisture Rescue Kit Part 1

All in all, I like this toner. The pH it provides is perfect for other products to be effective. It feels also quite moisturizing, refreshing and isn’t sticky or greasy. I would say it is a perfect toner for everyday use. What I don’t like about the toner is the higher price compared to other toners. The 150 ml bottle retails for 21.99 US$ on Wishtrend. It still lasts for quite some time I have to admit though (I’m using it for almost three weeks and I’ve only used 1/5ths of the amount). The opening is easy to use. I directly applied it on my hands, but you can also use it with a cotton pad. Alöl in all, I’m totally happy about having this toner in my skincare routine at the moment!

The next step in my skincare routine using the Klairs Moisture Rescue set is the Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Serum, a serum designed to boost the moisture level of your skin and give your skin a healthy and moisturized glow. This serum is designed for people who

– have sensitive skin that needs a calming, soothing serum lotion for sensitive skin.
– have dry, dehydrated skin that needs deep long-lasting moisturize.
– want to smooth and reduce redness and irritation on your skin.
– want to cure your skin constant flaking and peeling.
– want to smooth out fine dehydration lines.
– want to prevent the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

We have here a very basic serum focusing on moisturizing properties, perfect for dry skintypes. On the other hand this serum is designed to have soothing properties, too, so people with irritated skin are addressed aswell. Also here the design fits to all the Klairs products, having a lot of text on their packaging instead of cute or colorful illustration.

Klairs Moisture Rescue Kit Part 1

The serum is delivered in a cardboard box, unlike the serum, which was only packed in plastic. The cardboard box made of recycled paper contains  descriptions in Korean and English. You can also find a detailled description on Wishtrend.

Klairs Moisture Rescue Kit Part 1

The serum comes in a pump-type bottle made from brown see-through plastic. The pump comes with a protective cap, too. The serum is clear and more of a gel-type consistency than the toner. It has the same scent as the toner, which is a mix between herbal and flowery scents. The ingredients are listed on COSDNA and a lot of vegetable plant ingredients are part of it. also Hyaloronic Acid is the second ingredient in the list, providing moisture. Phyto-Oligo is also listed as main ingredients here. The lists also contains two red-flagged ingredients which are Triethanol amine and the same preservative used in the toner called Methylchloroisothiazolinone. If you know that you react to those two ingredients I would advice you to not use these two products or be careful and make a skin reaction test before. I didn’t have any negative reactions on my skin while using any of the products from the Klairs range yet. After using the serum on the skin it feels almost creamy rubbing it into the skin. It feels moist and hydrating, but it also leaves the skin noticably softer. Also here I didn’t experience any stickiness after it fully absorbed into the skin.

Klairs Moisture Rescue Kit Part 1

Also for the Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Serum I can say that I was positively surprised how I liked the serum. The feeling of it on the skin was nice and also the point that it wasn’t sticky. This made the application of other products afterwards and of any makeup much easier. I also do like the pump -type bottle. What I don’t like is the small amount of only 50 ml. I used up more than 1/3rd of the bottle already within the three weeks of use. The price on the other hand is relatively normal for a serum. The bottle retails for 22.99 US$ on Wishtrend. The serum is available with free shipping right now!

Both these products are nice products. If I had to choose which one I would by myself from the two mentioned I would choose the toner propably, but only in order to buy a serum with other properties, like anti-aging, etc. I also made a post about the promotions from Wishtrend for February >>here<<. Also, keep in mind their friend-referral program: You can receive a 5 Us$ referral coupon if you use my invitation code 17939205 upon registration and you’ll receive this voucher immediately. There will be a specific field in your registration form called “friends invitation program” where you can put the code mentioned above.
