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

 First up we have an IT'S SKIN THE FRESH SHEET MASK, this sheet mask comes in 10 different flavours, with three different types of essence textures: light, medium and rich. The flavours are Tea Tree, Bamboo, Aloe and Carrot which have a light essence. Honey, Pomegranate and Rose which have a medium essence, and Blueberry, Avocado and Olive which have a rich essence.

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

I got the carrot mask and I thought it smelt nice, I left it for 20 minutes and parts of the mask felt dry to the touch when I removed it. I'd done a charcoal pore peel off mask before and this mask really soothed the red areas where I'd put the charcoal pore peel off mask. My skin was left feeling soft and hydrated. When I removed the mask from it's packet, I was a little nervous that the essence was dripping off it, but thankfully it didn't actually drip while I had it on, which for me is a bonus.

Next up we have a THE SAEM PERFUMED HAND LIGHT ESSENCE, this hand essence is available in five different scents: Cherry Blossom, Peach Blossom, Lemon Mint, Grapefruit and Apricot. Each of the scents contain 10,000 ppm of the signature ingredient, along with Aloe Vera and Brown Rice Fermentation Filtrate. This light and hydrating formula is said to absorb quickly into the skin.
How To Use - Apply and adequate amount onto clean, dry hands as often as needed.

I got the Apricot hand essence and it smells gorgeous, the essence has the consistency of a watery gel and like it stated, it absorbed quickly into my hands, leaving them feeling soft and moisturised. This is definitely being placed into my back during these cold winter months to keep my hands moisturised, it's now my favourite hand moisturiser.
Retail Price: $4
Rate 5/5

Next we have a LANEIGE WATER BANK MOISTURE CREAM, the MISHIBOX info card states that this is great for cooler weather, as it moisturises your skin all day. It's refreshing yet rich cream goes on smooth and helps fight dullness, uneven skin tones and dryness. Laneige's patented mineral water complex contains Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Zinc and Manganese. It helps maintain ideal moisture levels on your skin, while Olive Squalane moisturises skin. It's formulated without phthalates and parabens, and is dermatologist tested.
How To use - After cleaning and toning, apply an adequate amount onto face and neck. Use twice a day.

I love the texture and consistency of this cream, it smelt really nice and absorbed pretty quickly into my skin. It left my skin feeling soft, smooth, supple and moisturised.
Retail Price: $4
Rate 5/5

Next up we have an ETUDE HOUSE WONDER PORE FRESHNER, this wonder pore freshner is a multi-tasker which helps clean, refresh and moisturise your skin. It's said to effectively remove excess oil, sebum, dirt and debris from your skin, while Mint Extract leaves the skin feeling cool and revitalised. It is formulated without parabens, mineral oil, fragrance, artificial colours, talc and animal-origin ingredients.
How To Used - After cleansing, dry face. Apply an adequate amount onto a cotton pad or ball and gently wipe face.

In our October MISHIBOX we received a 50 ml travel size bottle, which I think is the perfect tester size, even though there was no added fragrances, it still smelt nice with the ingredients that have been used to make this product. My skin felt soft and even better it felt clean, refreshed and soothed. I definitely think I will be buying this once my little bottle runs out.
Retail Price: $5
Rate 5/5

Next up we have the SKIN WATCHERS WRINKLE AWAY WHITENING EYE CREAM, this eye cream is said to be everything an eye cream should be. It soothes fine lines and wrinkles, and brightens dark circles; and with all EWG Green Level ingredients, so there is nothing harmful inside. It contains 58% Yeast Ferment Extract, along with Niacinamide, Sodium Hyaluronate, Shea Butter and Lavender Oil to keep the sensitive area around your eyes soft and moisturised. The cream is formulated without parabens, mineral oil, phenoxyethanol and BHT.
How To use - At the last step of your nightly skincare routine, dab and adequate amount around your eyes. You can use it around your lips and neck, basically anywhere with fine lines or wrinkles.

I love the smell of lavender in this cream, it absorbed into my skin pretty quick too, which is always a bonus. The skin under my eyes felt really soft and moisturised, and the lavender helped to soothe the skin around my eyes from removing my make-up. I could see a difference straight away after just adding the cream under one eye, it really brightened my skin and hid away the dark circles.
Retail Price: $30/£23.12
Rate 5/5

Finally we have our bonus product as an October and Halloween treat, which is a TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL PUMPKIN SLEEPING PACK, this sleeping pack is great for all skin types, it fights dryness and dullness while you sleep.
How To Use - Apply at night onto clean skin before going to bed and wake up with glowing skin.

This little bonus product is pretty amazing, the packaging was really cute and it smelt really nice. It was a quite thick cream and there was the perfect amount in the packaging to cover my face and to get a full face coverage. It absorbed pretty quickly, meaning my face wasn't left feeling sticky. I woke up with skin feeling soft, smooth and moisturised. I'd definitely give this sleeping pack another use, I think it's the perfect once a month overnight skincare product.
Rate 5/5

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.

Another 5 Star MISHIBOX, all amazing skincare products, my favourites from this box definitely have to the hand cream and the pore freshner. The hand cream leaves my hands feeling soft and smelling gorgeous, while the pore freshner left my skin feeling clean and refreshed. I can easily recommend all the products we got in our October box and I can't wait to receive my November box which I know is on it's way.

See you soon!

MISHIBOX: September Unboxing & Review

Hello

It's time to get into September's MISHIBOX!

 First out of the box is the usual face mask and this time we have a THANKYOU FARMER COTTON MASK, we were sent these masks at random as you can either get the true water deep cotton mask or the miracle age repair cotton mask. The true water deep cotton mask is soaked in a rich and deeply-hydrating serum that provides intense hydration, brightening and anti-wrinkle benefits, it also cools and calms irritated skin. The miracle age repair cotton mask is soaked in a rich nourishing serum that provides intense nourishing, brightening and anti-wrinkle benefits, it also improves the skins radiance and vitality. Both of these masks come from a cruelty-free brand called Thankyou Farmer.

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

This mask was pretty easy to put on compared to all the others as it was thicker and placed on my face better, but that could also be because this mask seemed a lot smaller than other masks I've used from MISHIBOX. I got the miracle age repair cotton mask and it smelt really nice and even though the card says the mask is soaked, it's not soaked to the point the serum was dripping off. I left the mask on for 20 minutes to let the serum soak into my skin and when I took the mask off it was pretty dry, so I think my skin needed it, it definitely felt a lot more nourished and moisturised.

Retail Price: $5/£4.09

Rate 5/5

Our next item is PROUD MARY TRIPLE WATERZONE HYDRO BOOSTER SERUM, on the info card it states that this product has three kinds of beneficial waters including sparkling water from Italy, deep ocean water from Gangwon, and glacial milk from Iceland, that are combined to help deliver moisture and minerals deeply into the skin. The serum is meant to help optimise moisture balance and help bring about a moisturised and radiant look with it's herbal complex of 9 herbal ingredients.

How To Use - After your cleanser and toner, apply the serum evenly onto your face with a gentle patting motion.

 We received a mini size of this item and that's the only thing I'm disappointed by as I wasn't able to get much use out of it for testing it. My skin looked and felt much healthier after using this serum, it left mt skin feeling moisturised too, I'd definitely order the full size it I can find it, I'd really recommend it too.

Retail Price: $5/£4.09

Rate 5/5

Next up we have PROUD MARY TRIPLE WATERZONE MOIST EX EYE CREAM, this is from the same triple waterzone line, the eye cream is formulated with the same beneficial waters and herbal complex to help replenish tired and dry skin around the eyes with moisture. It includes marine collagen to keep your skin moist and elastic, and olive oil to improve the skin's elasticity and nutrition.

How To Use - After the serum, apply eye cream around the eyes with a gentle patting motion using your ring fingers.

 I didn't really like the texture for this eye cream, the only way I can describe it is that it was like snot and also felt rubbery. It seemed to melt when you applied it but sadly I don't think it's a product that I would like to keep using in the future. I will continue to use the mini size that we received to see if my opinion on the product changes.

Retail Price: $5/£4.09

 This is another item that was randomly selected and sent between 2 choices, SAM & SEAN CLAY MASK, the ghassoul clay mask and white clay mask are clay masks that are designed to target specific skincare problems. The ghassoul clay mask is made with Moroccan ghassoul clay, which has strong absorptive power to remove sebum, dead skin cells, and impurities from the skin. It is also formulated with various natural minerals to help soften the skin, and tea tree extract and centella asiatica extract to help calm acne and tighten pores. The white clay mask is made with a combination of white clay and various natural extracts including raspberry, tumeric, mulberry root, and lotus to target blackheads and whiteheads, controls excess oil and provides a brightening effect.

How To Use - After your cleanser and toner, apply evenly onto your face while avoiding the eye and lip areas. After the pack has dried (about 5-10 minutes), gently rinse with warm water. Use 1-3 times per week as needed.

I got the ghassoul clay mask and I will definitely continue to use this clay mask as you can see in the picture that the shine on my T-zone has completely gone, and my skin looks a lot brighter and fresher, since using this clay mask, I've not really found any spots forming on my face. I would like to invest in the white clay mask too as I think my skin would benefit from using both of them. This is another MISHIBOX product that I would highly recommend for people to try out for themselves. It may be messy to apply and remove but the end result is really worth it.

Retail Price: $20/£16.37

Our final item from the September box is MCC WATERBEAM GLOW LIPSTICK, the info card says great for the drier and colder season, this is a high moisture lipstick that gently melts onto your lips with a glistening pigment like shining water. It is also formulated with mango and Shea butter to help keep your lips moisturised.

How To Use - Follow your lip lines and apply onto clean lips. Apply heavily on inner side and lightly on on outer edges for a gradient look. Reapply for a more moist look.

This is my favourite product from the box, it literally does as it says and melts onto your lips as you apply, it applies really smoothly and leaves your lips not only looking pretty and colourful, it also leaves them looking and feeling moisturised. I love using lipsticks and even though it doesn't last all day that I like my lipsticks to, you don't have to constantly reapply. I wore it recently to my cousins wedding and only had to reapply a couple of times. The lipstick is available in 6 different colours: calming rose, lace coral, viva pink, cherry dew, raisin berry and mandarine some. We got a colour sent at random and I got calming rose but I would love to get all the other colours. I really love using this make up brand and can't wait to try more from them.

Retail Price: $18/£14.73

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.
