WishTrend: Skin & Lab

Hi all! Some of you might remember that I’ve once did a collaboration with Wishtrend on a blind test project some time back.

Wishtrend is now sponsoring Korean skincare and cosmetics monthly to a group of bloggers and I’m one of them. Let’s cut the story short and check out what they have sent me this month!

Skin & Lab products!

I’ve received a full sized C Plus Brightening Vitamin Cream which is one of the top 3 best sellers in the Skin & Lab range on Wishtrend.com. As the name suggest, it’s a Vitamin C cream that helps to improve skin tone and brightening.

I’ve also received samples of various vitamin creams in the Skin & Lab range of products. How does Skin & Lab products work you might wonder.

There’s Vitamin A for firming, B for acne, C for brightening, E for moisture and K for redness. You can mix and match the vitamin cream and apply them according to your skin condition. For example, using B and K together when targeting acne. B to help treats the acne and K to reduce the redness left or caused by acne. As our skin condition changes from time to time, there’s never one product that will work for us forever. With Skin & Lab range of vitamin cream, we can target different problems by using a different combination mixed on our own.

Skin & Lab products ranges from USD 10.99 to USD 25.99. The full set of vitamin cream cost USD 63 which is very worth as each individual tube cost USD14.99 to 15.99.

Wishtrend is offering a USD5 discount to all newly registered account. So take this chance to make use of the discount and happy shopping! Discount code below!

Quite excited on what will I receive next month! Can’t wait!

Wishtrend Blind Test: BB Creams

This is a super overdue post!!

I received the BB cream samples back in DEC’11 and I’m only blogging about it now. >~<

 

Firstly, a swatch of all the 5 samples. You can see that all 5 samples differs by color and texture. Some with yellow under tones, pink undertones, neutral tones. Some are creamy, some are thick and some are runny.

 

I did a half face swatch for the samples. Surprisingly, D is not as white as I thought it would appear on my face. It actually have good coverage too and brightens up my complexion.  A blends in well with my skin tone and have average coverage. B has good coverage, brightens up my skin tone. C blends well but coverage is average. E’s coverage is quite good but the shade is actually a little too light for me.

I would say B and D is the better ones in terms of coverage. However B wins in terms of texture and smell. D has quite a strong smell.

 

Here’s the full face makeup with the various BB creams as bases. Powders used are all the same. XD

There are 13 other bloggers involved in the test too!

Check out the overall results here!

WishTrend Blind Test: WaterProof Pencil Eyeliners

Hi everyone, here to share with you about my second blind test experience with WishTrend!

Received the test subjects in their signature Wishtrend Box!

In the box is a postcard with a personal message, along with the test subjects and some samples! XD

Testing out eyeliners this time round!! All wrapped up in masking tape so there’s no way to identify them!! Except for the color of masking tape. :P

So I have Black, Black+White and White.

Let’s find out which I like best!

Swatches on the hand~

Can see that BW and W is the more pigmented ones. They are also the one that glides on better.

After some rubbing.

Put under running water.

Rubbed when wet.

After wiping off with a tissue.

No remover involved.

 

 

Here’s my score sheet for the liners~

 

My favorite out of the three liners would be the BLACK and WHITE one. Reason being it’s the one with the smoothest application and is smudge proof. Plus it’s also really pigmented so that’s no need to go over a few times to get the intensity. I also like how it can be cleanse with water as it means that I can remove it more easily as compared to the other 2. Although it might be a minus point that it can be remove with water but its fine without any rubbing actions.

The WHITE one would be the one that is an all rounder with and high average score for all categories. The only downside of this liner is that you need to apply at least twice to achieve the desirable pigmentation.

The BLACK one is the one that scores the best in waterproof-ness and is good for those looking for something that is water resistant. However, the downside is that it can be smudge easily. Pigmentation of this liner is not as good as the other 2 but it’s a relatively good liner suitable for day use.

Curious to find out which liner is from which brand?

Results is already out!

WishTrend Blind Test: Toner

Hi everyone!

I’m sure most of you have read my post on the Blind Test Project that I have started on! If not, you can read it over here!

So I have tested out the various toners and am going to share my thoughts on the toners today!

Before I go into talking about my thoughts on the toners. Let me just give you a short introduction on Wish Trend!

Wish Trend is a Korean company that delivers the trendy culture from Korea to the world. Trendy culture referring to the latest beauty trends, fashion trends and even entertainment. On Wish Trend, you can find the lasted products from Korea and you can order these products easily on their website.

Wish Trend started the Blind Test Project aiming to provide consumers with unbiased information and results so as to let them be able to make their decisions based on objective facts.

We are provided with totally zero knowledge on the products that we received other then what the products is. Hence, we are only able to review them based on the products itself with no means of manipulation on the results.

 

Of course, we are given a checklist so that we can review the products on a set of criteria and  rate them accordingly.

 

So moving on, below are my thoughts on all 5 toners! XD


Toner A has a very mild fragrance and it’s watery in texture. It’s quite cooling when being applied to the face and skin feels supple after it’s absorbed. This is a very gentle toner which has a good hydrating level and I think it’s suitable for all skin types and even sensitive skin.

 

Toner B has a cinnamon like scent and is of a milky lotion texture. Skin feels very smooth and supple after it’s being absorbed and I observed a very slight brigtening effect after application. It’s very moisturizing and I think it’s suitable for most skin types.

 

Toner C has a very strong alcohol like scent but it will turn into a minty scent after awhile. After application, there’s a cooling sensation and can feel that skin is more fresh and not so oily. I think that this toner would be more suitable for oily but not combination skin as I felt that it’s a little be drying. I feel that this toner tighens up the pores a little too.

 

Toner D has a mild floral fragrance and is watery in texture. Skin feels smooth after application but moisture level is average. Texture of the toner is very light when applied. I think that this toner is suitable for normal to combination skin types.

 

Toner E has a light fruity fragrance and has a lotion like texture. Toner E feels very smooth during application and is absorbed quickly into the skin, leaving the skin supple. Moisture level is above average. It also have a slight brigtening effect. I think that this is suitable for normal to dry skin types.

 

Personally, I like Toner A and B. A for it’s light texture and B for it’s high moisture factor. Toner E provides a very nice texture, application wise and texture of skin after application and has a good moisture level which is why I think it will be good for dry skin types.  These 3 are my preferences out of the 5. C is good for oil control but I personally felt that it’s a little drying and the scent is really strong. D feels like a normal toner with a nice texture.

That basically sums up my thoughts of the 5 different toners. I’m still waiting for Wish Trend to release the results on this blind test, can’t wait to find out what the 5 toners are exactly. Will be sharing it with all of you once I get hold of the results! XD

Blind Testing by WishTrend

Hi everyone!!

Just going to share with you all a very interesting project that I’m starting on, initiated by WishTrend. Blind testing! If you are unsure of what’s blind testing, basically it’s to test various products without any knowledge of it’s brand, labels etc.

As many of you know, I am a sucker for packaging. Most of the time I buy products cause of the packaging. So if it works that’s good, if it doesn’t, count on my luck. Lol!

A blind test would enable me to properly review a product based on it’s function by itself and will not be biased cause of packaging or branding. Only after I submit my reviews of the various products, then I will get to know the brand etc.

So are you excited? Cause I am! I just received my first batch of products to test on! They are toners and wow, I did not know that toners comes in so many variance of colors.

 

Here’s the package I received from WishTrend, a Korean company whom invited me and several other SG beauty blogger to embark on this Blind Test project.

 

In the package, there’s the products, a results form and a personal message from WishTrend.

 

5 different toners for me to try out! Look at them, they are all in different colors!

Super excited to start testing them out! Stay tune to the test results!!! XD
