I received a package from Wishtrend and it was a cute cleanser that is going to launch this month for By Wishtrend line. I was excited to try out this new product extension that is made from green tea (which is one of the main ingredients!)

Price: Does not mention

Weight: 70g

Directions: Apply suitable amount on your hand and mix with water

                   and rub to create foam. Gently rub in a circular motion.

Wash off thoroughly with warm water.

PACKAGING

First, let's talk about the packaging. It came with a light green colored box and inside is a cute bottle of the product.

I found that it was hard to read everything written in the box because it used white and small font. Since the color is light green, it would be easier to read the information if they used a contrast color like black or dark blue.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

A pH balancing, gently exfoliating cleansing powder formulated with green tea, papain enzymes and baking soda.

It maintains proper pH balance of the skin so as to prevent irritation or dryness after cleansing. Green tea powder and baking soda act as an exfoliator, removing all of the skin impurities.

                              💚Green Tea Powder

                              💚Papain Enzymes

                              💚Exfoliating & Polishing

                              💚For ALL skin types

INGREDIENTS

Sodium Bicarbonate, Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Zea mays (Corn) Starch, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Powder (2%), Lysine HCL, Proline, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Acetyl Methionine, Theanine, Carica Papaya (Papaya) Fruit extract, Sorbitol, Papain, Betain, Cellulose Gum, Citric Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate.

MAIN INGREDIENTS

Green tea, papain, sodium bicarbonate, sodium lauroyl glutamate, sodium cocyl isethionate.

TEXTURE

It is powder formulated cleanser which you can feel some bits if you touched rawly. The color of this powder is green as if like green tea and trust me, it smells so good! Please don't inhale this raw, you can smell it when you apply on your face.

It claimed that when it mix with water and rub, it will create foam but this cleanser really don't produce much foam.

APPLICATION ON SKIN

Since I shower twice a day and my whole body is wet, I don't have to 'mix' with water because my palm is already wet and you can just rub to create the foam. I gently exfoliate especially my T-Zone (forehead, nose, chin). The bits really gentle and mild so you don't have to worry about feeling the dryness because you won't. It's great to have anything 3 in 1 like this cleanser, like, it does its job in cleansing, exfoliating and polishing!

I took my time to exfoliate each area gently and I didn't experience any sting sensation when the product hit my eyes. The smell is so good, it smells like matcha green tea and I love it so much; especially my mom. She tried this cleanser once and she fell in love with the smells.

After I washed it off, I could feel my skin smooth and soft. It was the exact same feeling when I used Mary Jardin's Handcrafted Luxury Face Soap (click to see review). The differences are just this product does not make my skin feel tight, dry afterwards and it does not sting my eyes.

This cleanser is suitable for all skin type, especially good for oily and acne prone skin. I have an oily skin, however my pimples keep popping out to say hi recently and it bothers me a lot. It's a perfect time to receive and try this product and I can't wait to see if this cleanser really help to stop acne to happen. I will update after months using this!

I'm not sure if this cleanser is strong enough to remove your makeup and in my personal opinion, it is not. It's a very gentle cleanser that does not provide much foam. I did try using this cleanser to remove the makeup on my eyebrows, it did greatly but I doubt it can remove the eye makeup.

This is my first time to use a powder formulated cleanser and it excites me so much. It was such a great experience and I'm grateful to have the opportunity to try this out. 

PROS AND CONS

Pros:

Good ingredients.

Cleansing and exfoliating.

For all skin type.

Smells good, really.

Cute bottle.

Balancing skin's pH.

Does not dry out your skin.

Cons:

Hard to read on the packaging box.

Might not be a suitable cleanser to remove makeup.

I was asked by the Wishtrend Team if I wanted to test out the brand new product from Klairs and I immediately said yes!

I've been a fan of Klairs since their supple toner and my second product of Klairs would be this new Vitamin E Mask. I received the package in a good condition and when I did the unboxing, I was stunned because of the beautiful packaging.

The box was white with holographic. It looked so minimalist and I really like it. Since my favorite color is white, I already feeling excited before testing out the product!

It is well protected with a cover and given one small cute spatula.

Lets get into the product descriptions. This mask claims:

➤ Vitamin E and Niacinamide excellent antioxidant and whitening effect, can immediately see the brightening and firming effect the next day (rapid effects).

➤ When used during the day, it can protect from sunlight and prevent skin damage.

➤ Maximum formulation limit of adenosine effective for wrinkle improvement and skin regeneration.

➤ Firm, hydrating finish with excellent adhesion.

The Vitamin E in this mask acts as a skin booster that not only delivers excellent antioxidants power, but also benefits for dry, sensitive and aging skin.

I have an oily skin, so felt a little bit worried that this mask might not for me.

I also found out that this product will work even better when you used it together with one of the Klairs products, the Vitamin C. This is because they will enhance the effectiveness of each other through antioxidants network and protect the skin from active oxygen, preventing aging!

INGREDIENTS

Water, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Niacinamide, Sodium Hyaluronate, Carrageenan, Gellan Gum, Betaine, Algin, Mannan, Ceramide NP, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Chlorphenesin, Arginine, Ethylhexylglycerin, Centella Asiatica Extract, Rubus Fruticosus (Blackberry) Fruit Extract, Salicornia Herbacea Extract, Phragmites Communis Extract, Adenosine, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil, Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil, Cananga Odorata Flower Oil

KEY INGREDIENTS

Vitamin E (Tocopherol Acetate)

1) A major lipid-soluble antioxidant in the skin. It is found in most of the skin’s epidermis, dermis and stratum corneum, and protects against peroxide and pro-oxidants (prevents oxidation in cosmetics).

2) The skin’s protective function will be weakened if Vitamin E levels are insufficient, allowing harmful foreign substances to invade and promote aging of the skin.

3) Prevents cell aging by keeping the cell membrane from lipid peroxidation.

4) Possesses skin softening properties, and soothes inflammation.

5) Protects skin against damage caused by sunlight.

Niacinamide

1) Reduces pigmentation by preventing melanin pigment from migrating to the epidermis.

2) Suppresses sebum secretion, and improves acne caused by oily skin.

3) Helps stabilize vitamin C, having enhanced effects when used with vitamin C.

4) Formulated with an adequate concentration of 2%, as it may induce burning when used at high concentration.

Adenosine

1) Active ingredient prescribed in maximum dose, to serve the function of improving wrinkles.

2) Strengthens fibroblast proliferation in dermal layer, and promotes collagen synthesis.

3) Possesses powerful anti-inflammatory properties, making it effective in wound healing and regeneration.

4) Effectively improves acne caused by oily skin.

TIPS

1) Vitamin E is an oil that is great for moisturizing. If your skin is usually not compatible with oils, use only after plenty of inquiries.

2) Start out by using only a small amount at first and find the amount that works for you. Due to the nature of vitamin E, the stickiness increases when a large amount is used.

3) The moisturizing effects increase when mixed with a cream or essence. Try mixing a tiny amount to products that lacked moisturizing power.

You can mix the mask with your favorite skin care product and enjoy an upgraded version of additional brightening, wrinkle-repairing and moisturizing with the antioxidants power.

TEXTURE

The texture of the mask is exactly like pudding. This pudding-like texture transforms into a rich essence when in contact with skin. Thus, maintaining the moisture for at least 8 hours! This is probably the holy grail product for dry skins.

Did you know the name of this texture? It is called as "Shape memory cream". This is because no matter how much you scooped the product out with the spatula given, the product will come back to the same shape as it was! This texture helps the product tightly adheres onto the skin, giving an even and flat surface when application.

APPLICATION ON SKIN

I tried this during day and found out that it felt so heavy on my skin, so I changed it to night. I used this as sleeping mask for every night. You can't use your finger to get the product because it would be difficult. Try using spatula that they already provided.

This mask smells like citrus. Kinda like herbal-ly too. It's like the normal Klairs scented. It doesn't have a strong scent that might disturb you though. The smells is tolerable.

First application, it felt sticky even though I only applied small amount and that's why I preferred to use this during night. I'm not sure for someone with dry skin, this product might work well if they wear during day. But for me who has an oily skin, I recommended using it during night time!

But do not worry too much, the stickiness comes from the nature of Vitamin E. So, when large amount is used, the stickiness also increases.

The next day, I woke up with my face not looking oily and the feeling of stickiness also gone. When I washed it with water, I could feel the mask came off slippery. After fully washed with cleanser, my skin felt soft and smooth.

Ive been using this product for 21 days and decided to write my honest review after tested it out at least more than two weeks.

In term of aging, it still going to take some time to see that effect but for brightness, I can see the effect after two days using it. My skin's texture also improves well.

To be completely honest, I dont really buy it when products claim that it will brighten your skin immediately. I also don't like to say my skin tone became lighter because of this mask. I would put it like, this mask has made my skin not looking dull and also gives a very natural glowing. It also has many good ingredients and benefits to your skin and so far I'm liking this mask. No, I LOVE IT.

The sticky might be annoying but if it's an amazing product, I would tolerate with it.

Even though I couldn't wear this during day, but for those who can actually wear it then it's good and you need it because this mask will provide you protection from sunlight and prevent skin damage!

I also find my skin becomes smoother and makes the makeup application easier. I like how my skin looks during day because of the natural glowing. My mother also noticed how my skin texture improved as she always asked me, "Your skin is glowing," well, which is a good news to hear (not gonna lie).

PROS AND CONS

Pros:

Good ingredients.

Many benefits.

Smells good.

Instant result.

Does what it claims.

Decrease the dullness.

Skin feel soft and smooth.

Improve skin texture.

Good for dry, sensitive and aging skin.

Cons:

The stickiness (natural from vitamin E).

#3 B. Station; Ampang a Cute Korean Cafe!

Yesterday on 30 September 2017, my mom, sister and me went to B. Station cafe located near Ampang to have a taste of Korean food because it had been a while for me. I did search about the cafe and I was struck by the interior because it was so beautiful, like floral theme everywhere.

It took us less than 10 minutes to arrive and Taman Ampang Utama is a place for Korean village where you can see a lot of Korean cafe, marts and more. But for now, my choice was B. Station.

It's a small and cute cafe with floral theme. Nothing like floral scent was detected when I came inside though lol.

I'm sorry that I did not take much photos for food because I was having panic attacks at the moment. But I did snapchat and insta story everything. But this was what we ordered. I'll list down the name and the prices.

Dumpling Soup - RM 20

Beancurd Bulgogi - RM 26.50

Spicy Korean Fried Chicken - RM 22.50

Hot Cafe Latte - RM 9.50

Iced Mocha - RM 9.80

Belgium Waffle - RM 12.80

Dude, every single food that went into my mouth tasted like art. The coffee was good, I could not get enough how good the coffee taste like so I ordered another coffee; Iced Caramel Latte (I forgot the price). Every time you visit a cafe, coffee is a MUST.

They gave us pumpkin soups for service. It was my first time to taste it and I kinda like it. Sweet and very creamy.

Dumpling Soup was fresh and soft. The soup can be a hangover soup because it taste so fresh. I could find tteok (rice cakes) inside the soup too. Very chewy and not hard.

Beancurd Bulgogi was my sister's. A full complete meal with meat and veggies. Tasted wonderful, especially the rice. Korean rice is very soft and sticky and I like it.

The Spicy korean Fried Chicken not that spicy like I thought. You can eat it. It wasnt spicy at all. The chickens were crunchy and well coated with korean's gochujang. Sweet and sour.

The belgium waffle for dessert! Not that sweet, just the way I like it. Belgium waffles are little chewy and hard compared to normal waffles but thats one of the charms. I loved it! I would ask for this next time together with hot coffee. The waffles might look like it would hurt your teeth but it's not. It was not sweet to the point you cringe. 

I did not find any cakes in the menu so I think they dont serve cakes? Might ask them about that when I visit next time. It'd be weird for a cafe to not have cakes but oh well. 

If one thing I would want to complain is the air conditioner did not work properly lol. It was a little hot inside.

The toilet was really clean and the korean staff was very nice and friendly too.

Overall, I appreciated this experience where I found a cute cafe with cute concept and cute interior as well. The space might be a little trigger for me because it's small but the food was good! I think all Korean cafes tend to look like this though, am I wrong?

Nevertheless, you NEED to check this place out by yourself so that you can experience the cuteness too!

Also, after done with dinner, I decided to stop into Korean Mart and my sister bought me this.

I've been wanting that ice cream for so long because of Running Man lol. It was so sweet tho, I liked it but the sweetness of chocolate was too much for me. Not really a fan of sweet so I did not finish the ice cream and gave it to my sister. 

The signature banana milk, well, all time favorite. 💚
