A bit of a delay but lets get stuck into July's MISHIBOX goodies.

First up we have a MISSHA AIRY FIT SHEET MASK, this mask is 50% lighter than a conventional sheet mask, allowing them to stick to your face "like mochi", to deliver superior moisture and nutrition. There are 6 different varieties, which are Aloe, Lemon, Cucumber, Green Tea, Tea Tree and Pomegranate, they are all chosen for their refreshing hydrating properties.
How To Use - After cleansing and toning, place sheet mask onto face for 15-20 minutes. Pat any remaining essence to improve absorption.

I got the Tea Tree mask, and the mask was saturated in essence and kept dripping onto my neck and chest, which is not something I like with a face mask. The mask did smell nice and was really cooling on my face. My skin was left feeling soft and smooth, as well as feeling refreshed and hydrated.
Retail Price: $2/£1.55
Rate 3/5

 Next up we have a CHAMOS MOISTURE ELASTIC W-LINE BREAST PACK, this pack is a hydrogel mask designed to moisturise and plump up the skin, using ingredients such as Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Collagen and Snail Secretion Filtrate.
How To Use - Place patch onto clean, dry skin. Leave on for 10-20 minutes, then remove. Pat any remaining essence to increase absorption.

I was surprised to see this in our July box, as I wasn't even aware that there mask packs for your boobs. I actually followed the instructions on the back of the packet, rather than on the info card, which says to apply for at least 1 hour, and that they have good sticking force so can also be worn while sleeping. I slept in mine and I was a little skepical about their sticking force when I first applied them as they seemed to peel off the skin, but they never moved and stayed in place through the night. My skin was left feeling soft and moisturised, I am tempted to buy more of these as the back of the packaging states that it needs to be used on a regular basis for the mask to make any decent affect.
Retail Price: $3/£2.33
Rate 3.5/5

 Next up we have out spotlight product, HEALAVIE SOFT COVER WATER DROP SUN GEL, this sunscreen is a soft, watery sunscreen that absorbs into the skin quickly to provide protection from even the brightest of days. The sunscreen has a light, refreshing texture with a minimal white cast, and protects with an impressive SPF 50+ PA+++ rating for both UVA and UVB rays. This sunscreen lightly moisturises your skin and finishes with a sheer powdery texture which minimises shine throughout the day. It's feathery consistency also allows you to reapply over makeup.
How To Use - Dispense an adequate amount and apply onto all exposed parts of your skin. Reapply as needed or every 2 hours for complete protection.

It does what it says on the tin, I applied it before applying my makeup for a retirement party, and I'm glad I did as we were sat in the beer garden for most of the evening, and it was really warm and sunny. My skin felt soft and moisturised the whole time, because I was out and was scared about how it would reapply over my make up I didn't want to risk taking it with me to reapply.
Retail Price: $21/£16.28
Rate 4/5

 Next we have a CHOONEE WATER LIP TINT BALM, this product is a bright, refreshing lip tint/balm hybrid that's perfect for the summer. It's "aqua capture system" contains Shea Butter, Grape Seed Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, and Jojoba Oil to lock in moisture, keeping your lips soft and smooth all day. It's high pigmentation combined with sheer coverage allows you to layer on colour for the perfect look. It's available in 5 varieties which are, Cherry, Peach, Grapefruit, Raspberry and Guava.
How To Use - Apply onto clean lips as often as desired.

I got the Peach lip tint/balm, it applies really nice and smooth, my lips felt soft and moisturised, and the colour last really well, I didn't have to reapply and still had the colour on my lips when I came to removing it. I would love all the other varieties so I can try them out, and really recommend it if you're wanting a more natural lip colour. I think this is perfect all year round too especially in the winter when you lips start to dry out with the cold.
Retail Price: $10/£7.74
Rate 5/5

Lastly we have a HOLIKA HOLIKA ALOE 99% SOOTHING GEL, this product is said to be a summer staple for all K-beauty lovers. The soothing gel contains 99% Aloe Vera Leaf Gel harvested from Jeju Island, and is perfect for lightweight moisture and soothing irritation.
How To Use - Apply to clean skin. Dab onto mosquito bites to reduce inflammation, apply onto sunburned areas, or use as a moisturiser on the face, neck and body.

I thought that this smelt really nice, it had a really nice cooling affect on my skin. It left my skin feeling really supple, it's perfect too for hot summer days.

Now it's time to get down to the business side of the MISHIBOX, they offer 4 different subscription offers for this box. They offer a monthly recurring subscription which is $19.95/£15.14 a month, a 3-month recurring subscription which is $59.85/£45.41, a 6-month recurring subscription which is $119.70/£90.83, as well as an annually recurring subscription which is $239.40/£181.65, this does not include the shipping fee which for the UK is $5.95. I pay £19.85 a month including shipping for my box and I'm sure you can see from the products you get it's really worth the investment even with the extra charges for the box from my bank it's still a worthwhile subscription. You really get more than your moneys worth from the box, these boxes are extremely popular and sell out really fast so if you interested I would suggest being quick to avoid disappoint. You can even buy 3, 6 and 12 month gift subscription boxes as well as one-time-only boxes for the month they are prepping and taking subscriptions for, prices are the same as above.

If you have liked what you have seen in this post then head to the MISHIBOX website, and possibly sign up for their amazing subscription box, it's even great as a gift for a beauty enthusiast.

People may think I wasn't too impressed with July's MISHIBOX because I rarely rated anything really high, but that's mainly because I think some of the items need to be used a little more before they can be fully rated, like the breast pack for example. I think though that my favourite product has to be the Choonee Water Lip Tint Balm, it's pretty long lasting and keeps your lips moisturised.

See you soon!

It's time to get stuck into February's MISHIBOX goodies.

 First up we have DOUBLE&ZERO DOUBLE CARE SOLUTION BLACK MASK, this mask contains Bamboo Charcoal which absorbs dirt and debris, and Bulgarian Rose which helps brighten and improve skin tone.
How To Use - After cleansing and toning, place sheet mask onto face for 15-20 minutes. Pat any remaining essence to improve absorption.

The mask was saturated in essence, thankfully not to the point that it was dripping off the mask, the mask was quick and easy to apply and it fit my face shape pretty well. I left on the mask for 20 minutes and once removed there was still a lot of excess essence left behind, the essence took a while to absorb into my skin, meaning till it full absorbed it left my face feeling a little greasy as well as sticky and tacky, but overall my skin was left feeling soft. If it hadn't left my skin feeling and looking greasy and the essence had absorbed quicker I feel I would have loved this mask a whole lot more and rated it higher.
Retail Price: $3/£2.14
Rate 3/5

Next up we have PETITFEE DRY ESSENCE FOOT PACK, this foot pack contains a dry essence that's built into the cloth, meaning no messy liquids to deal with. Your body temperature melts the essence and absorbs into your skin for smooth and moisturised feet.
How To Use - Wash and dry feet. Cover each foot with the pack for 15-20 minutes, then remove.

 I loved the smell of this foot pack it reminded me of coconut, really easy to apply as you just wear them like socks and leave them to work their magic. I left them on for 15 minutes and my feet were left feeling soft and moisturised, an amazing quick fix for dry and sore feet.
Retail Price: $4/£2.85
Rate 5/5

 Next up we have our spotlight product PURITO CENTELLA GREEN LEVEL ALL IN ONE MILD PAD, Purito was founded in 2014 and is a brand committed to using safe and honest ingredients. They don't test on animals and they produce Eco-friendly products at reasonable prices. The Centella Green Level All In One Mild Pad uses all EWG Green Level ingredients, BHA and 10% Centella asiatica extract to gently exfoliate the skin, decrease inflammation and remove make-up and sebum.
How To Use - After cleansing, use pad to gently wipe off any remaining make-up and debris from the skin. Follow up with your favourite moisturiser and/or cream.

 These pads are amazing at removing any remaining foundation, eye shadow and lipstick but wasn't as good at removing remaining waterproof mascara, I don't think these are the best for eyes, especially removing mascara as my eyes did sting a little trying to get under my lash line, but overall did a fab job. My skin felt really clean and soft after using and each packet comes with 2 pads.
Retail Price: $5/£3.56 (5 packs of 2 pads)
Rate 4/5

Next we have CHOONEE WATER-PEAK MOIST GEL, this moist gel is a refreshing and hydrating formula with a watery gel texture. It has a cooling sensation that calms irritated skin, and contains 3 different forms of hyaluronic acid to lock in moisture.
How To Use - After cleansing and toning, spread an adequate amount onto face and neck.

This smells really nice and it applied and absorbed so quickly and easily, my skin is constantly left feeling soft and smooth, it's my new favourite daily moisturiser and is perfect for when my skin feels irritated from removing make-up.
Retail Price: $12/8.54
Rate 5/5

 Next up we have MEDILAB BLACK ROSE AMPOULE, this ampoule contains 64% Damask Rose Water which helps even out skin tone, brightens skin and improves texture. It also contains Rose Oil, Argan Oil and Camellia Oil which all help to moisturise skin.
How To Use - After cleansing and toning, apply an even layer onto skin. Follow up with your favourite moisturiser and/or cream.

This ampoule smells really nice and it applied and absorbed really quickly. My skin looked brighter and felt moisturised but it's definitely a product where the best results are seen from regular use.
Retail Price: $14/£9.97
Rate 5/5

 Lastly we have BEAUSKIN CRYSTAL LIPSTICK, this lipstick is a highly pigmented formula which glides on effortlessly. It contains a hydrating essence to keep your lips from drying out.
How To Use  - Apply an even layer onto clean lips. Re-apply throughout the day as needed.

This is a really nice shade and believe it or not is the darkest lipstick I now own, I tend to wear bright reds and purples so it looked a little odd when I first applied it. It was so quick and easy to apply and gave an even coverage over my lips. I didn't really get to test it's wear as I wore it out for a meal with my dad, so I didn't really check on it while I was out but there was visible signs of it when I was removing my make-up. I'd love to get all the colours that are in the range.
Retail Price: $12/£8.54
Rate 5/5

Now it's time to get down to the business side of the MISHIBOX, it seems that they no longer off different subscription offers as the only one available now on the website is the monthly recurring subscription which is $19.95/£16.33 a month, this does not include the shipping fee which for the UK is $5.95. I pay £20 a month including shipping for my box and I'm sure you can see from the products you get it's really worth the investment even with the extra charges for the box from my bank it's still a worthwhile subscription. You really get more than your moneys worth from the box, these boxes are extremely popular and sell out really fast so if you interested I would suggest being quick to avoid disappoint.

If you have liked what you have seen in this post then head to the MISHIBOX website, and possibly sign up for their amazing subscription box, it's even great as a gift for a beauty enthusiast.

I got a lot of new loves from this box and the main 3 that I do use a lot is the Water-Peak Moist Gel, the Black Rose Ampoule and the Crystal Lipstick. I can highly recommend all the products in the February box and I look forward to sharing with you the March MISHIBOX.

See you soon!
