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.

Purederm Clean & Bright Oxygen Bubble Mask (Bluuberry): Review

Happy Labor Day everyone! Since it's a holiday, I know most of you are enjoying this day to rest. I say "most" because I know for some, like nurses and other health professionals, they don't have the leisure of the holiday concept. But regardless of what you may be doing today, I still hope you are enjoying it with your family/ friends/ colleagues.

Yesterday, I had the chance to visit my favorite drugstore, Watsons, and found a new (to my eyes) product! It's a mask from a Korean brand, Purederm. I know you guys are already familiar with my fascination with Korean skin care and cosmetics and you can just imagine how excited I was to see this new item in store.

Some of you may already be familiar with this brand but for those who aren't, it is an affordable Korean brand that I usually see in Watsons. I've tried several products from this brand, mostly different variants of face packs and masks. Today, I was fortunate to try out their bubble mask.

Bubble mask? You might wanna ask. Yes, bubble mask. It's also a new discovery for me. I've tried Whipping BBs and Foam Hair Dyes but I've never tried bubble masks before. I'm not sure if this brand is the so-called innovator for this particular product, but kudos to whoever invented this.

 Initial lather

 Foam

More foam

And more foam

Foam dissipates

True to its name, once the product is lathered on the face, it foams up. To use it, you must apply a generous amount on your dry face with your dry fingertips. I stress on the word dry because according to the instructions, it won't foam up if one of the two is wet.

You are only to leave the product and lather for about 30-60 seconds. I, on the other hand, did not follow the instructions. I'm not a good role model, I know. I left the product for about 5 minutes before rinsing it off.

It doesn't offer anything new. It makes me feel fresh and makes the skin clean without stripping off all its moisture. Actually, if it wasn't for its foaming properties, I wouldn't do a separate post for this and I probably would have just linked the product to my previous post about face masks/ face packs. However, since it is my first time using a product like this, I'm making an exception.

There is another scent/ variant for this one. It has peach in it and personally, I'm not a fan of peaches (both its taste and smell) so I didn't bother buying one. But if you want me to try it out, leave a comment down below and I would be willing to buy it and probably include it in my future posts. For now, I hope you are satisfied with my review of the blueberry variant.

Bench Fix Styling Gum: Review

The truth is, starting tomorrow, I will be busy. I may not be able to blog as much but I will try to schedule a lot of posts in advance just to keep up with my 'every other day' postings. The thing is, I recently decided to explore other opportunities in my profession (nursing) through Australia. Yes, I've been thinking of practicing in another country. Nothing's carved in stone yet. So I'm not sure if I would really push through with this. There are a lot of things to consider and the first hurdle I have to overcome is IELTS. I have to acquire an IELTS score of NOT lower than 7 in any section of the IELTS exam so I decided to enroll in a review center. So finally, after more than 5 months, I will have something worthwhile to do. I've been a bum for so long. I'm quite excited but the downside would have to be me, missing out on opportunities to blog (since I have to attend classes). I've been pretty happy with my blogging progress the past two months because I have been able to stick to my schedule of writing a post every other day. I only hope that this review phase doesn't take its toll on my blogging.

Anyway, enough about my personal life, I know you are much more interested in my product review so I won't prolong the intro. This isn't going to be a long post because I still actually have a lot to read so I'm just throwing in a simple post for today.

As I've said, I used to work as a nurse. And the big deal about working (before) is keeping my hair in place. In the previous company I worked for, we were required to tie our hair into a bun to keep our hair from our faces. One struggle that I face everyday is keeping it nice and tidy. My hair was previously cut just below the shoulders which is a length that's pretty hard to work with. One, because it's not long enough to be tied up with ease. Two, because it's not short enough for me to be allowed  to not to tie it up. Admin usually doesn't mind us not tying up our hair as long as it is cut above the shoulders. Anyway, since I'm working with a tricky hair length, I need the aid of hair products to keep it in place. Also, I have a lot of 'baby hair' that I need to tame. To do all that, I use Bench Fix Styling Gum.

I used to not know anything about Bench Fix products because most people I know use the clay and I didn't particularly like the texture of their hair clay. Good thing my good friend Jade told me about this product. At first, I was just drawn to the name because I've never heard of styling gums before. But now I love it for its performance. I actually have a new one in a bigger container but I'm such a lazy person, I didn't bother to take a photo.

Anyway, each Bench Fix product has a grade for "Hold" and "Shine". I like this styling gum because it gives a good amount of hold (4) for a good amount of shine (4). Also, I love the smell! So much better than the previous hair gel I used.

If you have similar problems as me, I suggest you try this one out.
