CELLBN Organic Skin Care Set (WishTrend): Introduction


Hi guys! I'm here for one of my most awaited posts. My introduction of the CELLBN Skin Care Set! Yay!

WARNING: Photo heavy.

Remember my Wishtrend unboxing video? Last month, I won an organic skin care set from the brand called CELLBN. I've never tried any of their products before but before I go into that, let's talk about organic skin care first. What exactly is organic skin care? Recently, there has been an ongoing trend for all things natural. We want our makeup and curls to seem natural and a lot of people are practicing eating healthy food. The same trend took over the skin care industry and a lot of brands has started to come up with organic skin care products.

The collaboration of natural organic ingredients and functional cosmetics-- CELLBN

I'm pretty sure you want to know what organic skin care is and the easiest way to explain what it is is that it is basically skin care that has no harmful chemicals infused in its ingredients. It usually contains naturally derived ingredients, ingredients that you actually have an idea of once you read it on the list. Usually, products like these boasts that their products do not contain paraben, aritifical mineral oils, alcohol, etc. To know more about what organic skin care is, you can check out a video previously posted by WishtrendTV that also talks about the same topic.


Now let's talk about CELLBN, the brand we will be focusing on this post. It is a Korean brand that specializes in... Well, you guessed it right- Organic Skin Care! What makes them different from other names out there is they have the patent for a technology that allows organic products to have longer shelf life (around 1.5 years from manufacture date and 6 months upon opening), which used to be one, if not the only problem for organic products. They have developed the use of natural preservatives in skin care products. Now, since they have the know-how in keeping the products viable for a longer period of time compared to others, their products are at an advantage since this would reduce the possibility of you having to throw out products sooner than later (because of expiration). CELLBN is also known for their "15-Day Miracle". To know more about this, please visit this CELLBN brand introduction in WishTrend's website.

Moving on, I won Wishtrend's giveaway which allowed me to try out this precious skin care set. I got the toner, serum and moisture cream. I use it after I wash my face with my Organic Aloe Jojoba soap.






 Time to practice Hangul! Don't fret. I also have captures of its english descriptions.

After washing my face, I use the CELLBN Damage Multiaction Toner. It has whitening and anti-wrinkle functions. 86% of its total ingredients are from organic farming. The list of ingredients will be shown in one of the photos below.

It is a new conceptual emulsion type of high functional 2 in 1 toner which keeps the skin texture moist and soft as natural organic ingredients are absorbed softly into the skin and give moisture, softness and vitality to the skin.-- CELLBN Box Literature

 Ingredients

 Classy packaging! I love!

 It has a pump! Yay! 

After the skin has fully absorbed the toner, I then apply the CELLBN Damage Precious Serum as a penetrating everyday treatment deep into the skin. Just like the toner, it has whitening and anti-wrinkle properties. 87% of its total ingredients are derived from organic farming. Again, ingredients are shown in one of the photos below.









It is a high functional serum which keeps the skin clear and transparent and gives elasticity and gloss to the skin as organic oils such as organic Aloe Vera, organic Jojoba oil, organic Calendula oil, etc. are absorbed deep into the skin and keep balance between oil and water.-- CELLBN Box Literature



 Ingredients






The last step after the serum has been fully absorbed into the skin would be the application of the CELLBN Damage Deep Moisture Cream. 83% of its total ingredients are derived from organic farming. Again, it also has whitening and anti-wrinkle properties. The list of ingredients are found below.






It is a high functional moisture cream which makes the uneven skin tone and gives elasticity and gloss to the skin as extracts from natural organic materials are natural organic oils such as Cuterpe Oleracea Fruit Oil, Juniperus Communis Fruit Water, organic Theobroma Grandifloum Seed Butter, Salvia Officinalis Water, etc. provide moisture intensively to the dry skin.-- CELLBN Box Literature


 Ingredients




As much as I would love to include my first impression in this same post, I don't want the post to be dragged longer so I will just keep this as an introduction of the set. Watch out for my upcoming post on my first impressions of this set.

If you are interested in any of the products mentioned, be sure to visit WishTrend's website as it is where all of these may be purchased.

Korean Organic Skin Care Giveaway Prize from WISHTrend!!!


Hi everyone! I'm not sure if you are following me in my twitter or my youtube channel but just recently, I shared that I was chosen as the winner for a Korean Organic Skin Care Set (CELLBN) from Wishtrend.

One month ago, I joined a giveaway hosted by WISHTrendTV. The giveaway was looking for one winner to try out Organic Skin Care products that they talked about in this video. I was actually not expecting to win. After all, there were already so many entries that I just tried out my luck. All I had to do was be subscribed to their channel (I already was), share the video (I shared it in twitter), add the hashtag WishtrendGiveaway and comment down why I wanted to try their awesome products. Check out the original giveaway video here:


I responded like this:
I have really sensitive acne prone skin. My struggle with acne has started ever since I started my teenage years. For more than ten years, acne has been a problem that I had to face. Sure, OTC acne medications helped keep them at bay and it is true that my acne problem has been reduced over time but it still did not completely go away. Right now, I am using dermatologist prescribed products but this causes redness and extreme peeling, if used for a long time. I wanna try out organic products that are gentler on the skin but would yield good results.
Two weeks ago, I was notified that I won! I was so psyched! I even sent a message to my family and friends. It was like I won the lottery or something! I was extremely happy! I sent an e-mail to WISHtrend and got the confirmation. Finally, last week, they sent the parcel.


(Sings) Bubble bubble pop, bubble bubble pop pop! Haha. Yes, it's bubble wrapped! Weee!
CELLBN Organic Skin Care Set

The other day, I got a notice saying I have a parcel to pick up at the post office and I immediately thought of Wishtrend's package that I have been waiting for. It took about a week for it to arrive here, which is actually faster than I expected since generally local post offices hold packages for a longer period of time before releasing it. I was so excited and as soon as I got ready, I immediately went out to claim the package. It was Wednesday, then. Holy Week. And when I arrived, the post office was closed! I was so confused since the notice said I could pick the item up from 1:00PM- 5:00PM and it was just half past 4 back then, so I really had no idea why the office was closed. Luckily, a guy was inside the office grounds and helped me. Apparently, since it was Holy Wednesday, the office was only open for half a day! Good thing lady luck was on my side and the staff hasn't gone home yet. The guy gave my notice to the remaining staff and they were kind enough to accommodate me, even though all the doors were already locked.

To cut the story short, I got ahold of my package! Yay! But it was getting dark then so I couldn't really open the package. I mean, I could. But I wouldn't be able to film an unboxing video, which I had already planned. So I decided to just leave my package alone for the night and restrain myself from opening the said parcel until the sun comes out the next day and gives me an opportunity to film an unboxing the video.

Yesterday, the sun was cooperating well, shining brightly, that I immediately filmed an unboxing video just minutes after I woke up. Of course, I washed my face first, brushed my teeth and drank my thyroid medicine (I got my thyroid removed before). But after all that, I immediately filmed the unboxing of the video. I got the CELLBN Organic Skin Care Set from Wishtrend, a set that costs about $250. Never did I imagine that I would come to a point that I would be given the chance to try a high end (expensive) product like this one. I was ecstatic! Here's the video of me unboxing the Wishtrend package!

I was so happy, I even placed closed captions in this video. Whew! ;)

I also did a small photo session of each of the items, filmed a nice video showcasing each of the items for my overview/ first impression video/ blog post so basically, expect that there will be a couple of videos and blog posts regarding this skin care set. The photos above were not really taken very well but I assure you that the next posts will have better photos.

Oh, and I'm typing this post in advance so this will probably be up tomorrow, two days after the actual unboxing day. :)
