Wishtrend Black Friday Sale 2018: When and Where?
So, just in case you are new to K-beauty and haven’t heard of Wishtrend: this online shopping site offers a curated number of brands, many of which are actually directly linked to and produced by Wishtrend! Popular K-beauty brands such as Klairs, By Wishtrend, Jungle Botanics and I’m from are all made by Wishtrend, so you can be 100% sure you are getting original, legit products. Wishtrend was also the first K-beauty shop with international shipping to carry Cosrx products, and you can still find some of the Cosrx cult classics there.
Once a year, Wishtrend hosts its amazing Wishtrend Black Friday Sale, with truly amazing discounts on all of these K-beauty brands! And the discounts are not all you can expect from the sale – Wishtrend also offers a number of additional benefits, from coupon deals to free samples and even free full-sized products.
The sale has started today, 19 November, and it lasts until the 25 November 2018. Of course, popular items can sell out fast, although Wishtrend is usually quite good about restocking around the halfway point. Cosrx almost always sells out first, so be quick if those products are on your wish list. Now, let’s talk about all the amazing deals during the Wishtrend Black Friday Sale 2018.

Wishtrend Black Friday Sale 2018: My Top 5 Picks!
In order to help you wade through all the products and offers of the Wishtrend Black Friday Sale 2018, I will give you my 5 top picks from the sale here – products that I love dearly, and that are especially cheap during this once a year sale extravaganza!
1. Klairs Soft Airy UV Essence SPF 50 PA ++++
This is currently my favourite everyday sunscreen, and I wrote a length English review slash love letter about this water-based, lightweight lotion on my blog a few weeks ago. The tube is massive, with a whopping 80g of product, so the price is good even without any discounts. And, during the Wishtrend Black Friday Sale 2018, the Klairs UV Essence is 25% off, so you can grab this really great sunscreen for only 17.25$ instead of 23.00$.
2. Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Tencel Sheet Mask
This year, Klairs launched two new sheet masks, and both are absolute winners! I adore the Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Sheet Mask, and it’s my number one mask for troubled skin days, thanks to its redness-calming and glow-giving ingredients. However, if I had to decide between the two sheet masks, the Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Tencel Sheet Mask would still be my number one pick, simply because its hydration-giving powers are truly marvellous! I have only used this mask once, but I still vividly remember how amazingly juicy, plump and smooth my skin looked after I used it. I really want to grab a 10 pack of these sheet masks during the sale, they are just so fantastic! These work for all skin types, but especially drier skin types will love these!
During the Wishtrend Black Friday Sale 2018, the Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Tencel Sheet Mask is 35% off, so you can grab 10 of these for only 19.50$ instead of 30.00$, and a single sheet for 1.95$ instead of 3.00$. Also, you get a free sheet mask if you order 10, and 3 free masks if you order 20 (for 39$ instead of 60$!). The same prices apply for the Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Sheet Mask! *Whispers, ASMR style: “Guys, you should get both. Trust me!”
3. Klairs Supple Preparation Unscented Toner
I’ve always loved the original Klairs toner, but I have to say, ever since Klairs brought out their new, unscented version, I’ve been such a massive fan of it, and consider it to be the slightly superior toner of the two! This is basically the same formula as the original toner, but any essential oils or fragrance has been removed. Make sure to read my English review of this toner if you haven’t yet! You can get the Klairs Supple Preparation Unscented Toner and the original Supple Preparation Facial Toner with a 30% discount during the Wishtrend Black Friday Sale 2018, so for only 15.39$ instead of 21.99$.
4. Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
Guys, guys – this one is crazy! You can actually get the Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence with a stunning 60% discount, for only 7.60$ instead of the usual 19.00$. I’ve never seen a crazy cheap price like this for this excellently hydrating serum, with a high amount of wound-healing, acne-calming snail mucin extract. The Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence is free from any alcohol, fragrance or other harmful ingredients, and has been the top darling product of the Asian Beauty community for years.
5. By Wishtrend Pure Vitamin C 21.5% Advanced Serum
In my latest The K-Beauty Podcast episode, I spoke at length about the wonders of vitamin C and recommended this highly potent serum. Well, now is the time to grab the By Wishtrend Pure Vitamin C 21.5% Advanced Serum! For the Wishtrend Black Friday Sale 2018, this is being offered with a 45% discount, at a price point of only 16.45$ instead of the usual 29.99$ – definitely one of the best bargains during this sale!
Wishtrend Black Friday Sale 2018: My Own Potential Purchases and Re-Purchases!
Man how I wished that things were different for me financially than they were last year! But, alas, ’tis the same story: small wallet, tiny credit card limit, so I’ll probably not be able to shop up a storm during the Wishtrend Black Friday Sale 2018. Nevertheless, there are a few things on my personal wish list, and I do hope to buy at least a couple of them during the sale, if only to stock up on my holy grails and faves. Here are the Wishtrend products currently on my re-purchase and first time purchase wish list:
1. Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream
I mean… Do I really still need to tell you why this beauty is on my wish list? The Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream was one of the few products that I purchased during last year’s Wishtrend Black Friday Sale, and my tiny jar nearly lasted a full year but is now empty. Thus, it is high time for me to re-purchase this skincare emergency hero! And this year, Wishtrend listened to its customers and finally offers a bigger and more practical, 60g tube next to the tiny 30g glass jar the Blue Calming Cream usually comes in. During the Wishtrend Black Friday Sale 2018, the Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream is 35% off for both sizes, so the 30g jar costs only 15.93$ instead of 24.50$, and the 60g tube costs 20.15$ instead of 31.00$!
By the way: the equally awesome anti-ageing wonder and Gothamista darling, the Klairs Midnight Blue Youth Acitvating Drop, is currently available at a VERY good price of 18.00$ instead of 30.00$, so that’s a whopping 40% discount.
2. Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask
The. Best. Sleeping. Mask. Out there. Seriously, I cannot stop singing the praises of this bouncy, glow-giving overnight mask, which can also be used as a daytime moisturiser or – a little skincare hack for you all – it also makes for an excellent makeup primer! Read my full English review of this wonderful product if you aren’t convinced yet. This one needs to get back into my skincare routine, stat! The Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask is 35% off, so you can get this for only 17.55$ instead of the usual 27.00$.
3. By Wishtrend Mandelic Acid 5% Skin Prep Water
I just ran out of this gentle, yet thorough acid toner, which I reviewed on my blog a while ago. It is an absolute must have item for me, no matter how much I adore my Geek & Gorgeous exfoliants! This toning solution contains 5% Mandelic Acid, which is gentler than other AHAs, and also the only AHA that is oil soluble, making it ideal for sensitive skin types that suffer from oiliness and acne. It’s free from alcohol, fragrance and any essential oils. You can get the Mandelic Acid 5% Skin Prep water with a 35% discount, so for a price of only 14.30$ instead of 22.00$.
Gosh am I curious about this one! The I’m from Mugwort Essence is a pretty unique product, since it contains 100% of a single ingredient – mugwort extract (well, and water, I’m guessing, since otherwise this wouldn’t be an essence…). Mugwort is said to be especially good for acne-prone skin, since it is antibacterial, antifungal, and soothing to the skin. I wonder what it can do for my hormonal breakouts, which plague me thanks to my volatile menstrual cycle. There is also an I’m From Mugwort Mask that sounds pretty tempting, and is only 17.50$ instead of 35.00$ (so 50% off)! Lucky for me, the Mugwort Essence is also 50% off, so we can all grab this for only 20.00$ instead of the usually quite steep 40.00$!
We’ve had a really intense cold spell lately here in Germany, and it makes me want to run a hot bubble bath pretty much every day. I don’t know about you guys, but for me, using a sheet mask in the bath is really odd, and only wash off masks will do. And, well, the I’m from Honey Mask remains the best wash off mask I know, with its 38.7% real honey and that delicious, buttery, creamy honey texture. If you have sensitive, dry or dehydrated skin, do grab a tub of this mask, even though it’s a bit more pricey – it really is worth it! And, well, during the Wishtrend Black Friday Sale 2018, you (and I!) can get this awesome skincare treat for 40% off, so for only 22.74$ instead of 37.90$.
So there you have it, everything you need to know about the Wishtrend Black Friday Sale 2018! I had to write this pretty fast to make sure it hits the net right when the sale starts, so forgive any typos or possible link mistakes. I hope you will be able to grab some awesome deals, and that your local customs office will be kind to you.
NOTE: As was the case last year, the Wishtrend page is currently caving under the enormous traffic and is highly unstable. Don’t lose hope – usually, Wishtrend is very good at fixing these issues by day 2 of the sale, and stock should last for a while. I’ll give you a heads up here if I find out if the site is stable again.
