Julep Beauty subscription

Have I told you about the Julep Beauty monthly subscription box? It’s a fully customizable beauty subscription with ALL full-size products. Take the fun quiz here: http://shrsl.com/mw8x to customize your Julep Maven monthly subscription and get a FREE nail polish set worth $168.00 for signing up.

Julep Maven monthly perk: sign into your Julep account online between the 20th & 24th of each month to fully customize your box, and use your ‘Jules’ (optional) which are points earned each month, that you can redeem towards additional ‘free’ products at special prices only offered to Julep Mavens. AND… If you add on an additional 3 or more products in your subscription box, you get a FREE gift!!!
I customize the items in my box every month. The picks I chose for my August subscription box are shown below, which includes the following:

The product pictured above is called “Perk It“, Julep Beauty’s NEW sheer multi-tasking brightener, which is like a visible ‘instant eye lift’ without the drastic commitment. It will retail for $26.00 each, and is available in four sheer, illuminating shades that are super blendable and provide a natural skin-like finish.

The reason I began using Julep Beauty in 2014, was initially because my nails were brittle, weak and would not grow, and I am VERY mindful of the ingredients in the products I use. I discovered that Julep Beauty does not contain the harmful chemicals that most other nail products do, and after my first subscription box arrived and I began using the products religiously, I have never turned back. Julep’s polishes dry fast and allow 30% more oxygen to permeate the nail bed than any other nail polishes.
*Julep nail polish is 5-free and vegan-friendly. Julep steers clear of formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, toluene, DBP, camphor, and animal ingredients or byproducts*

You may not have thought about it until now, but it is VERY important for the nails to be able to breathe in order to grow and stay healthy. So, if you’re thinking of giving up gel-manicures or acrylic nails for the first time, and you need a good nail system, please try Julep Beauty nail products. If you do, I’d love to know your experience with the products. Please share by leaving a comment below, or DM me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/ninesacloud

Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask just launched on Wishtrend.com!

I’ve partnered with Wishtrend to introduce to you the NEW Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask!

Before the launch, I had the fortunate opportunity to use and evaluate this product for a few days. I really love everything about this mask, and it has become part of my skincare routine. The appearance is like a ‘milky jelly’ and when scooped out of the jar with the applicator, it is a little jiggly. When applied to the skin it absorbs effortlessly, melting like a cooling, milky-water like serum without any sign of residue or oil sitting on the surface. My skin feels SO smooth, perfectly hydrated and brighter the morning after using this mask! I haven’t used anything else like it. Klairs is becoming my new favorite K-Beauty skincare brand. This product is truly unique and the formula is genius!

Order yours here to get 20% OFF during their product launch!

Wishtrend’s description of the texture: 

It feels like pudding/custard, but the formal word for this texture is ‘Shape memory cream’. This might be unfamiliar, but basically shape memory means it remembers the original shape, so the product comes back to the same shape as it was. Therefore, this texture helps the product tightly adhere onto the skin, giving an even and flat surface upon application.

  
This mask is SO refreshing and perfect for my acne-prone skin. I’ve used sleeping masks/packs from other brands that do not perform as well as the Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask. With the other sleeping masks/packs, I have awakened to clogged pores or slight irritation, instead of waking up to a hydrated and brighter complexion. And, did I mention this mask has a cooling effect on the skin? 😃
I have also used Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask as a morning moisturizer after my essence, because I love the way it absorbs without any trace of product on the surface of my skin. The lightweight feel is a plus and the fact that I am getting just enough moisture for the day. I can’t express enough how amazing this product is. When I use it as my daytime moisturizer, my powder foundation doesn’t look streaky or pill, because there is no oil or moisture sitting on the surface of my skin, which I have experienced with many other moisturizers that move around on my skin when I’m attempting to buff on powder foundations. Even more, I feel that this mask, when used as a daytime moisturizer, mimics that of a hydrating primer!
Usually, I struggle with finding a good hydrating product that actually absorbs into my skin and doesn’t cause irritation to my sensitive, acne-prone skin. And, because I wear foundation Monday through Friday at work, it is important to me that my makeup doesn’t move around when applying and continues to look fresh throughout the day, which primers can sometimes fail at. I know this product is intended to be a mask… but, when you get this mask, give it a try as your daily moisturizer. I would love to know what you think!

Features and Description of the Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask from Wishrend.com:

Shielding Vitamin E, Healing Vitamin C#goodbye active oxygen #synergetic vitamins #antioxidant networkThe KLAIRS Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask is most effective when used with vitamin C. The two vitamins enhance the effectiveness of each other through the antioxidant network and protect the skin from active oxygen, preventing aging. In addition, vitamin E prevents vitamin C from being oxidized before being absorbed by the skin, intensifying the skin-improving effects of vitamin C.

An antioxidant network that protects the skinWhat does the active oxygen caused by UV rays, stress, etc. do to our skin?
1) Vitamin E becomes oxidized when active oxygen is lost by the primary defenses.
2) Vitamin C reduces the level of oxidized vitamin E to its original state and reactivates it.
3) The reduced vitamin E removes active oxygen again and prevents cell destruction and aging.
4) Vitamin C has a powerful toning effect.

Vitamin coating for an extended hydration#wake up hydrated #the mask for parched skinVitamin E is dissolved in oil, which provides a strong moisturizing power. The pudding-like texture transforms into a rich essence when in contact with the skin, maintaining the moisture for at least 8 hours, even for dry skin.

Upgrade by mixing#vitamin drop+vitamin mask #soothing cream+vitamin mask #the perfect DIY duoWhat if you could enhance all the functions of the current skin care product that works for you simply by adding a vitamin mask? Mix the vitamin mask with your favorite skin care product and enjoy an upgraded version of additional brightening, wrinkle-repairing, and moisturizing with the antioxidant power.
*The mixing ratio can be adjusted freely depending on the skin type and desired texture of the product.

Wishtrend. & Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream

I’m so thankful for the Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream that I received complimentary from Wishtrend to test and review. I can apply a small amount to a few irritated blemishes and in the morning the redness is gone and the irritation calms down significantly! Its even more soothing when put in the fridge before use for an added cooling effect. I have also used this cream after an at-home dermaroller or dermastamp treatment to help soothe and calm my skin, and immediately after hair removal on my upper lip and brow area. It works wonders for calming skin irritation after hair removal! I will be using this cream as long as Klairs continues to make it. ​​

If you suffer from irritated skin, blemishes, etc. I highly recommend this cream as a spot treatment for affected areas!

Wishtrend is my favorite source for the latest in Korean beauty products. They discover products from up and coming brands and offer the best in quality at a reasonable price. Wishtrend is a very informative source for Korean beauty products because they regularly post helpful tips and videos on social media and the Wishtrend website.

My favorite ways to shop Wishtrend are Brand Packages, which include brands like CosRx, Klairs, etc. AND…
