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

It's a bit delayed, but shall we get started with October's MISHIBOX!

 As well as our beauty products we got an info card detailing how to check your breasts for any changes from the norm and making sure people are aware of breast cancer

 First up we have a DAYCELL RE,DNA AMPOULE MASK PACK, this mask pack is available in 3 different varieties and are made with a unique skin-gel sheet with a soft and supple texture that adheres closely to your skin to maximise the beneficial effects. The Aqua mask pack is formulated with Alaskan mineral water and hyaluronic acid to balance and moisturise skin, the Recovery mask pack contains copper tripeptide-1 which increases skin elasticity, finally the Whitening mask pack contains niacinamide which helps brighten skin and fade dark spots.

How To Use - After cleansing and toning, place sheet mask onto face and relax for 10-20 minutes. Pat any remaining essence to increase absorption.

 I got the Aqua mask pack and I thought it smelt really nice, the mask also felt quite thick compared to other masks I've used in the past but was still really easy to apply. I kept the mask on for 20 minutes and even after removing there was still quite a lot of essence left behind but it didn't feel sticky or anything it just felt that I had rinsed my face with water, the mask left my face feeling soft, smooth, moisturised and more importantly refreshed.

Retail Price: $4/£3.05

Rate 5/5

 Next we have a DAYCELL JEJU DOL HAREUBANG 3-STEP BLACKHEAD PACK, our info card says this is our complete blackhead solution. Step 1 softens your skin and opens up pores. Step 2 removes blackheads and sebum. Step 3 helps tighten pores to minimise their appearance.

How To Use - Step 1: After cleansing and drying your face, place strip #1 on your nose for 5 minutes. Step 2: Wet nose, and place strip #2 on your nose until dry, which is about 10-15 minutes. Remove dried strip gently, starting from the edges. Step 3: Place strip #3 on nose for 5-10 minutes. Follow up with your regular skincare routine. Use once a week.

 After using strip #1 the skin on my nose felt really soft, once strip #2 was dry it was a little tough to get off and did leave some of the strip residue behind, but results could be clearly seen on the strip, strip #3 felt like jelly but overall all 3 strips were pretty much east to apply and remove and my nose was left feeling softer and smoother, I was able to see a difference from using the strips.

Retail Price: $5/£3.81

Rate 5/5

 Next we have a ETUDE HOUSE BLACK CHARCOAL CHIN PACK, this chin pack uses the power of charcoal to grab blackheads, oil and sebum to give you smooth skin, with the Witch Hazel leaf extract and the Aloe Vera leaf extract helping to refine pores.

How To Use - Wet chin with water. Remove clear film and apply onto chin. Let dry for 10-15 minutes. Remove gently starting from the edges.

 This chin pack is really easy and simple to apply and it came off really easily too without any residue being left behind like with the nose strip, my chin was left feeling soft and smooth and feeling cleaner.

Retail Price: $2/£1.14

Rate 5/5

 For October's box subscribers were given a sneak peak and the choice of whether they wanted the SKIN WATCHERS AC CLEARING FOAM CLEANSER or the SKIN WATCHERS AC CLEARING TONER. As you can see I chose the toner. This is a mild, pH balancing toner that removes pore-clogging dirt and oil to fight breakouts. The aloe Vera and tea tree extracts calm and soothe irritated skin. It is formulated without fragrances or alcohol and Skin Watchers doesn't test it's products on animals either.

How To Use - Dispense an appropriate amount onto cotton pad and sweep gently over your face and neck. Use at least twice a day.

I love the smell of this toner, it reminded me of something but I couldn't remember what it was that made it smell so familiar, it left my skin feel soft, smooth, refreshed and clean. I think this is one of the best toners I've used as I could see all the dirt on the cotton pad that the toner had removed that my cleanser hadn't making me feel that my skin was so much cleaner.

Retail Price: $25/£19.04

Rate 5/5

Next we have ETUDE HOUSE MY BEAUTY TOOL STRAWBERRY HAIR CURLERS, these hair curlers have a soft texture allowing you to sleep with them in your hair, reducing the time it takes to style your hair.

How To Use - Wrap hair around the grove of each curler and twist the bottom to secure. Leave in place for at least 1 hour. Use your favourite mousse or hairspray to enhance your curls.

I've not tested these I thought they would be a good Christmas present for someone who would get more use out of them, but now my hair is getting longer I would love to start changing up how I style my hair but I think I'll start easy and get a curling iron before I try something that for me I would find advanced.

Retail Price: $6/£4.57

Rate N/A

 Lastly we have a RAMOSU KINDAL BUTTER MULTI BALM, this balm contains macadamia seed oil, jojoba seed oil and argan oil to smooth and moisturise your skin, from head to toe. The balm also contains centella asiatica extract to soothe irritation.

How To Use - Use on dry skin anywhere, such as cuticles, lips, heels and elbows. Mix with make-up such as lipstick to create a smooth texture. Apply a thin layer onto cheeks before applying foundation for a soft, dewy look.

I use this on my lips as I think it's perfect for the winter months, the smell reminds me of the Key Lime pie that I make, it really smells good enough to eat. I love the texture as it applies like a liquid and applies really easy. I am tempted to try it on my cheeks as it says before my foundation to see what it looks and feels like. I also think because of how it applies you will also get months worth of usage from it making the price worth it.

Retail Price: $12/£9.14

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.

As you can tell I clearly loved every product from October's box and I'm super excited by the items we've received in our November box (yes it has arrived), I'm also really excited for December's box as with December's box I will have been a MISHIBOX subscriber for 2 years. I really recommend all the products in October's box especially the toner and I'm so glad I decided on the toner because of how it made my skin feel. 

Also remember ladies check your boobs and if you see or feel anything that's different from the norm, get to your doctors and checked out, it's better to be safe than sorry.

See you soon!
