Over 2 months ago, Maia from Luna Nectar reached out and asked if I was interested in trying out some of their products and review them. I wasn’t too sure at first (I’ve never heard of Luna Nectar), but when I did some research I thought their products would be worth trying. Mainly because their products look most to be like body oils, facial oils (which I was interested in trying out with facial massagers such as a jade roller or guasha. The review for this took a little longer than I had liked because I needed to reset my current routine so that I could see the differences/benefits these products provide.

When I saw that there was a new cream coming out from By Wishtrend, I just had to sign up for the review list! The promotional materials made the By Wishtrend Pro-Biome Balance Cream look like a light gel-ish type cream. I’m also currently finding some difficulties with getting a good moisturizer – you know? Most of the products lately have been a bit stale for me, so my skin was really looking for something new! What better than a cream that has some propolis in it? ;)
Wishtrend recently launched a new brand called elmt! It’s supposed to be a “Skincare Unframed” brand. The brand is more formula driven and so their packaging is a lot more simple and minimalistic. I’m quite surprised that the packaging looks the way it does for this product. It’s pretty cool to see Wishtrend finally launch another brand – it’s been a while since they have done this. If you’re interested in seeing what these products are like, keep reading!
Wishtrend reached out in early April about a new brand launching on their website called elmt! Their goal is to “break way from traditional cosmetic cliches and create skincare products with a new perspective.” The packaging is quite different from a lot of the other brands, but is still simple and clean. They sent me the Skin Activating Solution and the Skin Illuminating Solution. Keep on reading if you’re interesting in knowing what my first impressions of these products are.

elmt – Skin Activating Solution
This solution is meant for people who have dehydrated or troubled skin types. The instructions say to use this after cleansing (almost like a toner step). It’s supposed to help boost the antioxidant effect and maximize hydration. I have found this to feel quite refreshed. My skin has felt very dry lately, so any extra bits help. So far, I haven’t had any bad reactions to this product. There is minimal to no scent/fragrance too!
Some notable ingredients in this product – Green Tea extract and Skull cap root extract
elmt – Skin Illuminating Solution
This solution is meant for dull and dry skin – so it’s supposed to improve the over complexion of the skin and make it look more healthy and bright. It’s also applied similarly to the other solution, and you can also pair it with the Skin Activating Solution to maximized improvement effects! I have yet to pair them and see if anything happens with it. This also hasn’t irritated my skin so far and there is minimal to no fragrance.
Some notable ingredients in this product – Niacinamide, grape extra, pomegranate extract
Anyways, as always, thanks for reading and I hope you have a great week!
AXIS-Y reached out again to see if I would be interested in collaborating with them a second-time and since I loved the products that they sent me the first time so much, I couldn’t say no! I was really excited about it, because it was a Gel Mask – I didn’t know what kind of gel-mask I would be getting but anything with “Gel” in it excites me 100%. One thing I liked when reading about the product was that it contains a lot of notable ingredients such as Heartleaf, Niacinamide, Madecassoside, Calendula and Allantoin.
