It's time to get stuck into November's MISHIBOX.

 First up we have a BEYOND HERB GARDEN MASK, these masks are said to be a delight to the senses with their subtle fragrance, while moisturising skin. There are different varieties available, which are: Peony, Calendula, Hibiscus, Rosehip, Black Tea and Tea Tree.

How To Use - After cleansing and toning, place sheet mask onto your face for 15-20 minutes. Pat any remaining essence to improve absorption.

 I got the Calendula mask, I thought it smelt nice but isn't really a scent I would personally pick to have in a mask. The mask was pretty thin and was a little fiddly to pull apart, I nearly tore it a few times trying to do so. It applied onto my face pretty easy and it had my skin feeling cold while on, which was nice. After removing it my skin was left feeling soft and moisturised, which I think overpowers the scent.

Retail Price $2.50/£1.96

Rate 3.5/5

 Next we have a PETITFEE DRY ESSENCE HAND PACK, this hand pack softens and moisturises hands with a "dry" essence, the conditioning agent is built into the gloves. It's perfect for those with dry hands that don't like using hand lotions often. You can even use your smart phone while wearing the gloves.

 These hand packs are easy to wear and left my hands feeling soft, moisturised and smelling nice.

Retail Price: $4/£3.14

Rate 5/5

 Next up we have a DAYCELL LIP BALM, these lip balms contain 35%naturally derived moisturising ingredients to keep your lips soft at all times. They use Sunflower Hybrid Oil, full of Omega 9 Fatty Acids, the Rose Lip Balm contains Rose Water, Rosehip Fruit, Shea Butter and Beeswax to revitalise dull lips, while the Honey Lip Balm contains Royal Jelly, Beeswax, Turmeric Extract and Shea Butter to moisturise dry lips.

How To Use - Apply a thin layer onto clean lips as often as desired.

I got the Rose lip balm, which at the moment on the MISHIBOX site is sold out, it smells really nice and left my lips feeling soft and moisturised.

Retail Price: $7/£5.49

Rate 5/5

 Next we have a MISSHA SOS CORRECT MASK, these masks are available in 5 different varieties with 5 different main benefits, redness - AC, dull skin - Dark, Sebum/dirt - Dirty, dryness - Dry, and rough textures - Peel. You can use one mask at a time or use them all at once on different problem areas.

How To Use - Spread a thin layer onto clean, dry skin. Let dry for 5-10 minutes, then rinse with warm water. Follow up with a cream/moisturiser as needed.

I got the redness - AC clay mask, I applied it to my cheeks, nose and chin as they are the places I suffer more with redness. The mask smells nice, it wasn't too thick and was quick and easy to apply a thin layer onto my problem areas. It was cooling on my face while it was on and once it was all removed, my skin was left feeling soft and smooth.

Retail Price: $10/£7.84

Rate 5/5

 Lastly we have a COSMETEA TEA CLEANSER, Cosmetea is a new brand to come to MISHIBOX, their Tea Cleanser combines tea water, botanical extracts and botanical oil for effective, convenient cleansing. Tea Cleanser is a balm-type stick cleanser which melts into oil, then foams into a lather to remove make-up, dirt and debris all in one step. The Moisture Care cleanser uses Black Tea and Omija aka Schizandra berries. The Dust Out cleanser combines White Tea and Lemon, while the Pore Care cleanser uses Green Tea and Mint.

How To Use - Roll up about 0.5 cm of product. In a circling motion, apply the product onto your dry face for 1-2 minutes. Use wet hands to massage the product into a lather, then rinse thoroughly with warm water. Use a tissue to wipe the top of the cleanser to keep it clean.

 I got the Dust Out Green Tea and Lemon cleanser, I was a bit sceptical about this cleanser, that it wouldn't remove much of my make-up, but it moved pretty much all of my make up, apart from a tiny bit of lipstick and a bit of mascara. It smelt gorgeous and left my skin feeling soft and clean, It helps you to use the perfect amount of cleanser, it's my new favourite beauty product.

Retail Price: $21/£16.47

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.

November's MISHIBOX was another great box of Korean beauty products, I have to say my favourites have to be the Tea Cleanser and the SOS Correct Mask, they were perfect for my skin and I would highly recommend both of them. I can't wait for my December box which will be my 3 year anniversary with MISHIBOX.

See you soon!

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

First up we have a DAYCELL DR. VITA VITAMIN MASK, these masks use specific vitamins to improve your skin. Vitamin B helps to calm and soothe skin, while Vitamin E helps to moisturise and rebuild your skin's natural barrier. The cotton tencel sheet masks adhere closely to your skin to deliver nutrients effectively.
How To Use - After cleansing and toning, place the sheet mask onto your face for 15-20 minutes. Pat any remaining essence to improve absorption.

I got the Vitamin B mask which was said to be calming, I thought this mask fit my face pretty well, I still seem to struggle to get a smooth finish with a sheet mask but, the few creases showed me that it was a pretty good fit for my face shape. 
There was a lot of essence on the mask which made me worry that it would drip down my neck and onto my clothes while I had it on, but  thankfully that didn't happen which is a bonus. 
I thought this sheet mask felt really cooling on my skin which is always a bonus if your skin is feeling irritated, the mask also left my skin feeling soft and supple. 
I really liked this mask.
Retail Price: $4/£3.04
Rate 5/5

 Next we have HALF MOON EYES NAIL.ME WATER DECAL NAIL STICKERS, these water decal nail stickers are available in 5 different designs.
How To use - Apply a base coat onto your nails and let it dry. Cut out the desired decal, soak in for water for 10-20 seconds. Using tweezers, remove the bottom paper and affix the decal onto the nail. Seal with a top coat.

It's very rare that have my nails painted and I'm not the patient type to paint or do nail art on my nails, but I do like the idea of these so maybe when I have some time off work I'll do something with my nails. Retail Price: $5/£3.79
Rate N/A

Next up we have a FLABOIS MILK BOMB/MINT BOMB, these little bombs are a wash-off hair treatment pack, designed for a single use. The mint bomb is designed for those with thin hair, and provides refreshing, lightweight conditioning. The milk bomb is designed for those with normal/thick hair, or even dyed hair, providing nutrition and locking in moisture.
How To Use - After shampooing, apply adequate amount onto your hair, focusing on damaged areas. Let sit for 10 minutes, then rinse off with water.

I absolutely loved this hair mask, I got the milk bomb which was ideal for those with normal/thick and dyed hair. As you can see my hair is dyed so I was happy and felt lucky that I got the milk bomb in my box. It smells gorgeous and reminded me of coconut, as my hair grows and is getting ready for a trip to the hairdressers again, the ends of my hair can become dry and brittle, the milk bomb left my hair feeling soft and silky as well as feeling nourished, even the ends of my hair felt soft, silky and nourished, I thought my hair looked really healthy too. I definitely think I will be re buying this so I can use it a least once a month to revitalise my hair. Retail Price: $2.50
Rate 5/5

 Next up we have a SKINEYE AC PURE SERUM, this serum is an ultra-lightweight serum that helps to control sebum production and lightly hydrates skin. it contains that patented ingredient combination of Artemisia Annua Extract, Pine Needle Extract and Citron Extract, which helps decrease inflammation and acne. The serum is also meant to be especially helpful in decreasing clogged pores and pimples.
How To Use - After cleansing and toning your skin, apply a few drops of the serum onto your face using the dropper, and spread lightly with your fingertips. Follow up with your moisturiser as needed. Use up to twice a day.

The serum absorbs pretty quickly and you don't use too much with the dropper, meaning you don't overuse and end up with greasy feeling skin.
My nose can get quite oily and this serum helped quite a lot with that after just one use.
The serum applied just like water, meaning my hands weren't left feeling greasy and horrible.
I think this is a product that needs prolonged and regular use for the effects of this this serum to be beneficial to the skin in the long run, but I have high hopes for this product.
Retail Price: $18/£13.66
Rate 5/5

Lastly we have our spotlight product PURITO DEFENCE BARRIER PH CLEANSER, this cleanser is a gentle, low pH gel cleanser, which is suitable for everyday use to effectively remove make-up, sebum, dirt and debris from your skin. This cleanser does not dry out your skin and leaves it feeling soft and refreshed. The low pH in the cleanser means that it won't strip your skin of it's natural barrier to maintain a healthy balance. The cleanser contains Tea Tree Leaf Oil and Centella Asiatica Extract to soothe skin, as well as Hydrolyzed Collagen and Royal Jelly Extracts which help with skin elasticity.
How To Use - Dispense and adequate amount onto your hands and lather to create a foam. Use to wash your face and neck. Rinse thoroughly with water and pat dry. Use up to twice a day.

I wasn't too fussed by the smell of the cleanser but it did an extremely good job of removing my make-up, the only thing it seemed to struggle with was my lipstick, as you can see the colour has slightly faded but wasn't removed. The cleanser even removed my waterproof mascara.
My skin was left feeling soft as well as looking and feeling refreshed and clean, I always think a really good cleanser leaves your skin feeling and looking like it's had a deep clean.
I'd definitely recommend this cleanser for other people to try, I now have a line of cleansers in my bathroom window and this one is at the front.
Retail Price: $14/£9.86

They are all also the main products I would buy to continue using in the future.

MISHIBOX: October Unboxing & Review

Hello

Lets get into October's MISHIBOX.

First up out of the box we have a PROUD MARY ANIMAL MASK PACK, these are character masks and since I saw Jackson from GOT7 use one of these masks I wanted to try one for myself because they look fun. We were sent a mask at random, the info card showed that there was a tiger mask, a monkey mask and a panda mask, each mask did something different. The tiger mask is for wrinkle care and elasticity, the monkey mask is for soothing, pore care and sebum control and finally the panda mask is for brightening and moisturising.

How To Use - After cleanser and toner, place on face for 10-20 minutes. Remove mask and gently pat for absorption.

It wasn't till I took the mask out of the packaging that I realised it was a character mask, it was really fun to use. I left the mask on for the full 20 minutes and when I took the mask off it was pretty much dry, so my skin must have needed it. I'd love to try more of these from this brand but I couldn't find them on the MISHIBOX website, so I'm on the hunt for my of these types of masks to try and use.

Retail Price: $3/£2.40

Rate 5/5

Next up we have a HONGIK SKIN O2 BUBBLE FOAM CLEANSER, it's said that this gentle bubble mask pack doubles as a cleanser with puffy, creamy bubbles. It has moisture retaining oxygen bubbles and vitamin capsules that help lift heavy make up and residues in pores without irritating or dehydrating the skin. There are 2 versions of this product available and both do different things, the Aqua version is purifying and hydrating, while the Olive version is more moisturising.

How To Use - Use 4-5 times a week. Apply onto dry, cleansed face, Rinse off with warm water after 1-2 minutes.

I've only used this cleanser once and as you can see from the pictures I got the Aqua version. This has to be my favourite cleanser not only that I have received through MISHIBOX but the best cleanser I have ever used. It may not tackle my mascara but the rest of my make up was removed with this cleanser. It felt really weird feeling it bubble but it was obviously doing as advertised. This is a cleanser I will start to use on a regular basis and recommend others to use too as my skin was left feeling clean and refreshed.

Retail Price: $22/£17.49

Rate 5/5

Next we have a LADYKIN GREEN HARMONY MASK PACK, these were another item we were sent at random as there are 4 different versions, all tackling different areas. It's a wash off mask pack that comes in Pumpkin, blueberry, Pear and Chrysanthemum. The Pumpkin mask contains pumpkin extract, vitamin A, C and E to moisturize skin, repair skin damage, soothe and soften skin, remove dead skin cells, unclog pores and control sebum. The Blueberry mask is rich in vitamins A, B and C that help to repair skin damage, clear acne, provide anti-aging benefits and brighten the skin tone. The pear mask is rich in vitamin C and K, which help repair skin damage, moisturize, heal acne, and control sebum. The Chrysanthemum mask is great for calming, relaxing and hydrating tired and sensitive skin.

How to Use - Apply evenly onto your face while avoiding the lip and eye areas and leave on for 15-20 minutes. Rinse off with warm water and pat dry your face.

I received the Pear mask in my MISHIBOX and it definitely left my skin feeling soft and moisturised, I can often get an oily T-zone but this masked cleared it up straight away, my skin was left feeling more supple. It was really easy to apply and smelt really nice, it went on like a really thin cream.

Retail Price: $3/£2.40

Rate: 5/5

Next out of the box we have a LADYKIN AFFINITIC CREAM/MOISTURISER, we were sent these in a mini size, which is pretty much a tester size, again we were sent one at random as there are 2 different ones there is a pink one that is a cream and a blue one which is a moisturiser.  The Affinitic Snail Cream is formulated with 80% snail mucin filtrate to moisturize, provide anti-aging, skin elasticity, skin damage prevention and glossy skin benefits. The Affinitic Whitening Moisturiser is formulated with yam extract, pine leaf extract, cypress extract and green tea extract to provide brigthening, pore care, sebum care, soothing and moisture.

How To Use - After your cleanser and toner, take an appropriate amount and gently apply along with the skin texture. Gently tap to help with absorption.

I received the blue snail which is the moisturiser, and I'm glad I received this one as I now use this after removing my make up as my eyelids can feel sore after removing my mascara and eye liner and applying this after really soothed how sore my eyelids felt. My hands did feel a bit sticky after using this but the benefits from using it make that fact a minor problem. My skin was left feeling soothed, moisturised and soft. This is a product that I would go on to purchase the larger version when the rest of my serum and moisturisers have run out.

Retail Price: $5/£3.99

Rate 5/5

Lastly out of the October MISHIBOX we have a MCC ACCENT GEL EYELINER, this product says it's great for sensitive skin types as it has a gentle, low-irritation formula made with sweet almond oil and argan oil. It includes a delicate brush that makes it easy to draw sharp lines.

How To Use - Take a reasonable amount with the included brush and apply along the lines of the eyes. To remove, make sure to use a make up remover with soft cotton to gently melt away the eyeliner.

This eye liner is great and easy to use, it applies better than other gel eyeliners I have used in the past but sadly for me it's one of the eyeliners that causes my eyes to water, which means I'm often dabbing the corners of my eyes where I place my flicks and which then in turn ends up with the flicks disappearing. Even though it's no necessarily the best on my eyes I would recommend this eyeliner and will continue to use it even if I have to use a separate eyeliner for my flicks, as this eyeliner seems to take me less time to apply compared to another that I use. I also used this for my Halloween make up for work when I was dressed as a cat, it's perfect for cat whiskers and features, it lasted my full shift.

Retail Price: $18/£14.37

Rate 4/5

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.

Overall I think has been one of my favourite boxes from MISHIBOX and next month I will have been subscribed for a year. It may not be good for your skin to constantly apply different products but I've noticed through these boxes my skin has felt better from all the products I've tried and tested, I have a big line of serum's and moisturisers that are in their full sizes that I still have to use but for now I'm only using one at a time till they each run out then it's back to MISHIBOX to repurchase my favourites.

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 Christmas gift for a beauty enthusiast.

See you soon!
