Wishtrend Wish Box #20: The Mask Box 2 Unboxing, Review

I can never resist a good deal on sheet masks, so I during my last shopping trip at Wishtrend I picked up this Wish Box: The Mask Edition. In a nutshell, it’s a sampler set that includes ten different masks sold right there at wishtrend.com, so you can later buy the products you like all in one place. That’s actually one thing I don’t like about Memebox, most of the things we receive in those boxes are not available anywhere else [or at least from any reputable sources], not even at their website.

Like most Wish boxes, the contents of the Mask Box 2 were already revealed on the site, so no surprises there. Each box contained the following products:

ElishaCoy Aloe&Lavender Mask
ElishaCoy Natural Pearl  Mask
Skin Factory Collagen Ampoule Mask
ENCA Acne Control Mask
Onl Saladit Pumpkin Juice Mask
Onl Saladit Avocado Juice Mask
Brilliant Lip Care Gel Patch
WISH Formula Panda Eye Mask
klairs Rich Moist Soothing Mask
Brilliant Sparkling Powder A,B 

I didn’t have a chance to try every single mask yet, but I used about half of them so far and there are a couple noteworthy favorites.

First of all, ENCA Acne Control Mask is not what I expected an acne-fighting mask to be like, it felt just like any other sheet mask: sort of slippery and moisturizing. I did not expect it to actually provide any results; I mostly thought about it as a safe mask to use when I have hormonal breakouts. Next day after the application those red spots were reduced by half, and the pimples looked like they were much farther along toward healing. The only thing I did differently was this mask, so I’m sure that it was the reason for such drastic improvement. Luckily hormonal breakouts are the only type of acne I ever get, so I don’t know if this mask is any effective for cystic acne and other types, but it worked really well for me. Kinda wish I had made some before and after pictures, the improvement was seriously impressive.

I searched for information about the brand, and discovered that Enca is a line for problem skin, developed by Rojukiss, the same company that makes that fantastic blackhead clearing oil. By the way did you know that Rojukiss means Romeo + Juliet +Kiss? Cute!

Another winner is Skin Factory Collagen Ampoule Mask, it can make even the most hopelessly dull complexion look well-rested and radiant, I am so impressed! After taking off the mask and patting in the remaining essence, I waited until it got completely absorbed, and just couldn’t believe how smooth and healthy my skin appeared. Unlike some sheet masks, this was not a temporary effect, because that healthy glow remained for at least a few days, until I ruined it all by going to bed at 4am for several days straight. Yep, that was totally my fault! All products in the world can’t reverse my stupidity, but at least there’s a mask to help minimize the damage.

And finally, WISH Formula Panda Eye Mask. Believe it or not, but it actually does reduce dark circles under eyes, and the effect is permanent, but you might need several applications to achieve it. There is a really nice gradual before and after comparison at the product page [check it out of here]. My results weren’t quite as drastic, but still way better than 70% of all products that promise to reduce the appearance of dark circles. These patches are great at depuffing, too, just keep them in the fridge before use.

Do you need this? I would like to say that yes, you do, because this set has masks for every skin type and concern – from problem and aging, to dry and sensitive. The brands are pretty good, too, and in case you didn’t know, exclusivity is one of Wishtrend’s perks – most products featured in their online store are very hard to find anywhere else.

Shopping tip: Wishtrend offers free shipping over $69, but if you register an account and wait about 10 minutes [or less], you’ll receive a welcome email with a bunch of one-time use codes, including one for free shipping. Another perk of registering an account is a $5 voucher, which is valid on any purchase of $35 or more. To get that voucher you have to register here and use promo code 301496710.
