[Tried & Tested] O.S.T Original Pure Vitamin C-20 Serum Works Wonder On My Skin

Labels: , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Hi Huneybees,


I returned home to find a package waiting for me at the table. I finally received my O.S.T Original Pure Vitamin C20 serum from Wishtrend! The product is nicely wrapped with bubble wrap and the product reached  me in tip-top condition.



According to the Wishtrend site, the O.S.T Original Pure Vitamin C-20 Serum was the best selling item of 2012 and was even ranked the best selling item in Singapore No.1 commerce (2012)! There are also many benefits listed, like how it can tighten up loose skin, can whiten or recover trouble scars, and remove blackheads.
  • Volume : 30ml
  • All Skin Types
  • Made in Korea


The product came titled in English, but the rest of it is in Korean, lucky at Wishtrend, they have a review video as well as some product knowledge and how to use.


The O.S.T. Original Pure Vitamin C20 serum comes in dropper bottle, with the dropper packed separately, so that the Vitamin C is kept fresh in the bottle. The bright orange packaging already spells it all and the dark coloured is used to block out light which will cause the Vitamin C to oxidise and lose its effectiveness. So, after opening, keep it refrigerated. (*Applying the cool serum on my skin is also very refreshing every morning.)



There's a fresh welcoming citrus fragrance when you open it and I like how they used a dropper system to maintain the state of the serum, leaving it uncontaminated and so you can share it with your mothers and sisters.



The serum has a slight yellow tinger and it feels thick with a gooey consistency, but it is super absorbant! I basically apply 2-3 drops on my face after cleansing my face and applying toner. A few simple massaging of the serum and it gets fully absorbed into the skin.

At first, when I first started using, there was a slight tingling sensation. I was a little frightened as I have hyper sensitive skin, I thought I was having a reaction. But after Googling, I realised that is so for the first few usage, and it is true. 4 days after using the product, the feeling is gone and I guess the product is starting its magic on my skin.

The fine lines on my skin seem to have lighten, become less obvious and my face seemed to have its own glow back. If you have been following my Instagram, I have gone with minimun makeup recently, coz I really love how my skin is showing off its natural beauty ~

Benefit Instant Beauty

Labels: , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,



I was recently at the Style x Benefit Workshop and picked up a few tips about their products and was introduced to their latest kits - Complexion Kit / Lip and Cheek Kit.




Here are the range of Benefit products...



Our homegrown makeup guru - Larry Yeo demonstrated that day and he began moisturizing and preparing the model's skin with Benefit's b.right! Radiant Skincare.


Yasminne Cheng was the host for the night.
In fact, after using them, the model's skin looked clean and refreshed, she could actually head out like that with some sunscreen.



Ok, now onto makeup.

First, minimize pores with POREfessional.

Then, with Benetint, give your cheeks the natural red glow and lips too!



After applying Hello Flawless foundation, conceal the problem ares with Erase Paste and Boi-ing of your shade.




Lip Balm. Lip Gloss and Mascara. Voila!




Nice right? The model looked so young and refresh, totally suitable for a every day look. So here's a little introduction to their kits, so that everyone can try out and get instant beauty!

First up, Complexion Kit.
I received the Light version.
Inside are the products alongside a mirror and instructions of step-by-step usage of each product.

In the kit, there's POREfessional, a small bottle of HELLO FLAWLESS that matches my skin colour, 2 shades of boi-ing to mix or use alone for concealing and lastly a face powder and a brush to set the face. 

Following the steps and with some basic skills, you can achieve flawless looking skin in just 4 simple steps!


And for the makeup portion, for natural rosy cheeks and some shades of colour, there is the Lip and Cheek Kit.

I got the Sugarlicious Kit that go deliciously nude... sweet & soft shades for a fresh, natural-looking glow!

Yes, in there are not only the products, there's also a vanity mirror and step-by-step tips and tricks. There's Benetint, a rose tinted lip and cheek stain, High Beam for highlighting the high points of the face for a 3D look, Sugarbomb - a quadrant coloured blusher for the sugar rush flush and also Sugarbomb a shimmery light pink lip gloss.

That's me after using both kits with the added eye colour, eyeliner and mascara. I love how my skin looked like porcelain! 
The Benefit Complexion Kits are sold at SGD$48 each and the Lip and Cheek Kits are sold at SGD$45 each.


XOXO,
