First Impressions Korean Beauty from Wishtrend

As you may have noticed already from my previous posts, I am a big Korean skincare fanatic since the first time I have tried this kind of product. I was lucky enough to get to know some of these brands throughout my first collaboration with Wishtrend, and from that day on, I have started to research and try more and more brands. 

For today's post, I would like to share my first impressions of some products I have also received from Wishtrend. On this site, you can get some of the best Korean brands and they even have their own brand By Wishtrend, from which I have only heard great things. So I invite you to take a look at this site if you are interested in trying some Korean skincare products because they have some great offers quite often. So, without further due, let's begin discussing these new products I have tried. 

I'm From Rice Toner

I have heard many great comments about this toner on TikTok (yes you already know that TikTok has influenced a lot of my beauty purchases lately) and I was very interested in trying it out because it looks so soothing and calming. The rice helps to clean the skin and make it clear and glowy. It's very hydrating and moisturizing so it feels really nice on the skin when you apply it. It has a very light and liquid texture, almost like milk and it absorbs very quickly into the skin. In addition, this toner has Niacinamide, which also helps to regulate sebum production and to brighten the skin. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product and I'm very happy I have incorporated it into my skincare routine.

Klairs Gentle Black Deep Cleansing Oil

I was very interested in trying some other products from this brand since I had such a good experience with their Vitamin C serum and I opted for this cleansing oil because I wanted to try something different for my double cleansing routine. This was my first time trying a cleansing oil and I have to say I'm very surprised! This oil does a very good job in removing my makeup, it takes a little time to work it, especially on the eye area but it does remove all my mascara, without any problems. You need to rinse it out a few times to make sure that there is no oil residue on your face but after you finish the skin feels very soft, clean but still hydrated and nourished. Just keep in mind if you use this product that you need to use another water-based cleanser to remove all the excess oil and to make you it doesn't clog your pores. I'm also super satisfied with this cleansing oil and I will be using it every other day instead of the micellar water so I can remove my makeup without using so many cotton pads. 

Klairs Soft Airy UV Essence

From Korean brands, you can get the best sunscreens because they have amazing formulas that are lightweight, hydrating, and that don't leave a white cast. this particular sunscreen from Klairs has SPF 50 and it blocks UVA and UVB rays so it gives you complete protection from the sun. This Klairs SPF contains 80ml so you get a lot of product for a very good price. The texture is like a light moisturizer and it gets absorbed very quickly without any white cast, I even think it's lighter than the Purito one and that is a lot to say! So, overall I'm very impressed with this SPF and I would totally recommend it. 

I hope you find these quick reviews or first impressions useful, I love trying and discovering new products, especially from Korean brands because they are maybe not so popular but they offer an amazing quality in regards to ingredients and formulations for very reasonable prices, and to me that it's always a plus! Let me know if you have tried any of these products or if you have any other recommendations. 

3 Korean Skincare Products I Would Totally Repurchase

Korean Skincare is still a big trend in the beauty world and it's definitely one of my favorites because in the K-Beauty world you are able to find some products that have amazing quality for some very convenient prices. 

Korean products are very popular because they usually have great formulas with amazing ingredients such as Centella Asiatica, niacinamide, etc. Therefore are very effective and also they are very appropriate products for sensitive skin because the ingredient list tends to be very clean.

I have been lucky enough to try some amazing products which have quickly become favorites and staples of my everyday skincare routine. So for today's post, I would like to share with you some products that I have used and that I would repurchase for sure :)

Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop 

This was one of the first Korean products I have tried in my life and I'm so happy I did because after seeing the amazing results it had on my skin I was totally converted to the K-Beauty world. This 5% vitamin C serum also has Centella Asiatica, the star ingredient for Korean skincare, which helps a lot to reduce inflammation and to soothe the skin, while vitamin C helps to brighten it. I have a complete review of this product with before and after pictures that I recommend you take a look at in case you are interested in trying this product. 

Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream 

I'm such a huge fan of BB creams because I love having a natural makeup look, so this type of product help you to achieve that perfect no-makeup look while at the same time they hydrate and protect your skin since most BB cream has sunscreen. 

I was very surprised when I tried this one from Missha for many reasons, the first one being the shade. I was a little bit worried that the shade may be to light for me but I'm using the shade number 25 (Warm Beige) and it blends perfectly with my skin and has very nice light coverage. It also absorbs very quickly and it feels like you are wearing nothing, so that's a big plus for me!

Another thing that really surprised my is that this BB cream has only 20ml which doesn't seem like a lot of product but actually a little goes a long way, so even though I bought it last year and I use it regularly for my everyday make up look, I haven't run out of product yet. 

COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser

This is a very gentle gel cleanser that feels very hydrating to the skin. I personally love the texture because the gel turns into a creamy texture more than a foamy texture and I think that's why it doesn't feel stripping to the skin. This product has a little bit of fragrance but as I wash it off it wasn't a big issue for me. 

I hope you find this post helpful and I would love to hear your thoughts on Korean skincare. Also please let me know which are your personal favorites in the comments, I'm always excited to try new products!

Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Tencel Sheet Mask Review

My latest beauty obsession has been, without a doubt, sheet masks! They seem to be everywhere and it looks like there is a sheet mask for each and every single need your skin may have. 

So, I have been trying a few sheet masks I was able to find here in Buenos Aires, but I was really looking forward to testing a real Korean sheet mask because I feel like this was a thing that they have invented so they probably are the best in this topic and also because I have been really into Korean beauty lately. 

Anyway, I was really lucky because I was sent these Klairs sheet masks from the Korean beauty store Wishtrend and I got super excited to try them out! The Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Tencel Sheet Mask is designed to moisturize and soothe the skin and to also help to strengthen the protective barrier of the skin. 

I have already tried their Rich Moist Soothing Serum which I like a lot (you can read my full review of this product here) and I continue to use every day on my skincare routine so I was hoping that this mask also gave me the same good results. 

What I like about this sheet mask is that is very gentle and it has very basic and natural ingredients, such as, aloe vera leaf extract, hyaluronic acid, and Centella Asiatica extract along with 5 different types of ceramides which work together to strengthen the skin barrier. 

The mask is very easy to use, it's divided into two pieces, one for the forehead and eye area and then another part for the mouth area. I think that this makes it a lot easier for me to apply. After you apply it, you have to wait for 15-20 minutes and then you can remove the mask and pat the remaining product so that your skin can absorb it. 

During the 20 minutes, I left the mask on, it didn't move or fell from my face and it felt very refreshing, cooling and soft. It doesn't have a strong scent and to me, that is a plus because it feels more natural.

After I removed the mask, I could tell that my skin felt great, a lot more hydrated and recovered from all the stress I was carrying on from the week. These masks became a new weekend ritual for me now because since I have started working again I feel like my skin is suffering those fewer hours of sleep and maybe not eating as well as I was doing before. 

So they are really helping my skin to be at a better condition and I totally consider getting them again in the near future. I really hope you find this review helpful and let me know if you are using any other sheet masks at the moment? Which ones are your favorites?

K-Beauty Wishlist from Wishtrend

As you may already know, this year I had the opportunity to try my first K-Beauty products and I have been completely obsessed with Korean skincare products since then. I have seen so many improvements on my skin and I had the best experience with those products I have tried from Wishtrend that I thought about sharing with you some other products I would love to try from this site!

Wishtrend is the right place to shop when it comes to K-Beauty, they have many amazing brands and they even have their own line of products, By Wishtrend. In addition, they always offer special promotions and events. From May 24 to May 31 they are doing the Cruelty- Free Brand Week which is a special event to raise awareness of cruelty-free brands as well as to support animal rights. Besides shopping for your favorite skincare products and getting some really cool gifts and benefits with your order, you will be supporting a very important cause! ;)

Therefore, I thought it was a great initiative to share with you here on the blog and also show you which products I would love to get my hands on!! 

1- Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask

I have always heard that Vitamin E is very good for the skin so when I saw this mask I got really curious about it. According to the site, this product is perfect for brightening and firming the skin, it has antioxidants and whitening properties so your skin looks hydrated and brighter the next morning after using this mask.

2- By Wishtrend TECA 1% Barrier Cream

I saw this product in one of the videos in Wishtrend's Youtube channel and it looks amazing! This is the perfect product to prevent acne scars and to help your skin regenerate, since it contains Centella Asiatica. The TECA 1% Barrier cream will also lighten pigmentation and it will soothe irritated skin.

3- Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Tencel Sheet Mask

I think it wouldn't be a K-Beauty wishlist if I didn't include at least one sheet mask! I have been dying to try one of their sheet mask and I think this one would be the perfect product for me. It's full of moisturizing ingredients such as Aloe Vera, Panthenol and Hyaluronic Acid which sounds amazing to add that extra hydration boost to the skin!

So, these would be the top 3 products I would choose from Wishtrend! Don't forget to check out their Cruelty- Free Brand Week from May 24 to May 31 (you can find all the information in the image below), and please let me know if you have tried any of these products or if there is any other Korean product I need to try! ;)

New Video: My Nighttime Skincare Routine

Once again it's time for a new video! I'm very excited because I'm still keeping it up with my goal of uploading one video per month on my Youtube channel. I know it's not that much but hopefully, at some point, I will be able to do more videos ;)

This time, I'm going to be showing you my current nighttime skincare routine because I thought it would be much more interesting to see this in a video rather than in a regular post. I also enjoyed a lot filming and, especially, editing this video because I feel like it was a little bit more challenging than the other ones I was doing before. And I also think I was able to apply more resources to show you what I do in my skincare routine at night. 

Also, I hope that in the near future I'm able to get a tripod because that would make things a lot easier since I had some problems with the frame in this video but I hope you don't mind :P I take this as an opportunity to learn and practice my skills. So, without any further talking, I'm going to leave you with the video. I hope you like it and please let me know in case you have any suggestions for things you would like to see on my channel :)

My First Steps into Korean Beauty: Klairs Products Review

A few months ago, I have started hearing a lot about Korean Beauty and I was completely intrigued by it. So many bloggers were saying wonderful things about some particular products from Korean brands that I was really looking forward to learning more about this skincare system and perhaps trying one of their products. 
The truth is I was seeing this as something difficult to me because you can't get any Korean products here in Argentina but I was super lucky and I got an email from the lovely people at Wishtrend, a major Korean Beauty online store, to test some of their products! You can't imagine how excited I was with this email because I was going to see with my own eyes if all this hype around K-Beauty products was true!

Once I have accepted this collaboration, I decided to do some more research about the Korean Skincare routine, just to have a little bit more information about how I would incorporate the new products to my normal skincare routine and also to see if I needed to make some adjustments to the steps I was doing at the moment. 
Anyway, I have received two amazing products from a Korean brand named Klairs, which were exactly what my skin was needing at the moment. As far as I know, this brand only works with natural ingredients and is vegan-friendly, which is always a plus. 

The first product I received is Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Serum and this is a very gentle and aqueous serum which helps to hydrate and replenish moisture in the skin. This product has a very light and watery texture, it feels very nice on the skin and it absorbs very quickly. It's not sticky at all and it's very easy to apply. I normally use just two pumps of the product for my entire face. I have been using it every morning and night for the last month and I really enjoy applying it to my skin. Once I finish, my skin feels super smooth and hydrated so I consider that this serum totally does what it promises.
Another positive aspect of this product is that it contains a very good amount, it's a bottle of 80ml and you just need to apply 1-2 pumps to cover your face so I think it will last a good time. 

I have also received Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop which is a Vitamin C concentrate and I have to say that this is the product that has surprised me the most! It was my first time using any product with Vitamin C and I have seen the greatest difference once I have started using it. 
Apart from pure Vitamin C essence, this product also contains Centella Asiatica, Yuzu, and Grapefruit extracts, as well as L-Ascorbic Acid, which help to stimulate collagen production and they also help to improve skin tone and texture without harsh irritation. 
It's indicated to use 1-2 drops of this product in the morning and evening but I have been using it just in the evenings. 

As this was my first time using a Vitamin C extract I wasn't very sure about how to incorporate this product into my skincare routine. Even though the Wishtrend site has a lot of information about each product, it would be nice if they include more information about how to use them in a particular routine, in which order it would be better to use each product because I was a little bit lost about this one.  
Anyway, I ended up applying the Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop right after the toner and before the serum and it worked perfectly!
This product is also watery and very easy to apply as well. I have been using 2 drops and it's more than enough for my face and neck. Right after I apply it, I just notice my skin to be a little more bright and luminous but I think this product works its magic overnight because I see a lot of improvements when I was up, but let's talk about this more in depth.

How my skin has improved by using these two products?

1) My skin looks brighter and more luminous
This was one of the most noticeable improvements I saw on my skin once I have started using these products. My skin tone was more even and brighter than ever! Every morning, when I wake up my skin has a healthy, natural glow and it looks more luminous. That's why I say that these products work their magic overnight. 

2) The texture of my skin is softer and smoother
When I touch my face I feel it incredibly soft and it's also a lot smoother than before. After just one month of using both products, I can see a difference in this aspect as well and I feel very satisfied with it.

3) My acne was reduced a lot
This was the most important improvement I have noticed after I started applying both products. I had a few pimples the day I received the package at home and after just one use of the Vitamin C extract and 2 uses of the serum, I saw those pimples looking a lot better the next day! Also, in all of this month using the Klairs products I didn't have as many pimples as before and if I had any it wasn't as bad as it used to be. So, here I see I huge difference and I could also add that all the acne scars and pigmentation marks are looking a lot better too. 

So these were my thoughts about my first experience trying Korean Beauty products and I have to say that it was a very positive one. I feel like this kind of products and skincare routine suits me very well, so I would definitely recommend these two products as they have shown amazing results on my skin. I hope you find this review helpful and in case you are interested in trying some of their products I would recommend checking out these two-product sets Wishtrend is offering only during this month, with a special 5% off!
