Well a little later than I was wanting to get this post done, shall we get stuck into the goodies in the March MISHIBOX.

 First up we have a DR. SMIS HYALU AQUA MASK PACK, this mask pack is made with ultra-thin transparent mask sheet that adheres to your skin like no other to deliver moisture effectively. It's main ingredients are Hyaluronic Acid and EGF, which helps increase moisture and improve skin elasticity. With the addition of Niacinamide helps brighten your skin tone. It also has a slightly low pH, which is ideal for balancing skin.

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 thought this mask pack smelt okay and was easy to apply. It was cooling on my skin and I liked that essence was more of a creamy texture rather than a liquid essence. It left my skin feeling moisturised, even though after removing my skin did feel slightly tacky and a little greasy, making me want to go wash my face.

Retail Price: $2.50

Rate 4/5

Next up we have a GRAYMELIN EGGPLANT BUBBLE PAD, this is said to be a super-convenient one-step cleansing pad. When exposed to air, it bubbles up for effective cleansing and it's said that only one pad is required to effectively remove makeup and to cleanse your skin. AHA, BHA and PHA help to gently exfoliate your skin, and Eggplant Fruit Extract helps to brighten and moisturise skin.

How To Use - Remove pad from pouch. Use a gentle, circular motion to cleanse your skin. Use the pink side for stronger exfoliation. Rinse with water and pat dry.

I thought this cleansing pad smelt really nice and really easy and simple to use. I was blown away by how quick and easy this pad removed my makeup. I always enjoy being a little skeptical about what the info card says about the products to be blown away by the actual results. It was effective straight away and didn't leave my eyes or lash line feeling sore or sensitive, it also left my skin feeling soft and really clean. I'd happily buy more of these and use them to regularly remove my makeup.

Retail Price: $5

Rate 5/5

Next up we have an RE,DNA GALACTOMYCES AMPULE, this ampule contains 97% Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate that has numerous benefits; it promotes skin elasticity, brightens skin, minimises the appearance of pores, moisturises skin and smooths skin.

How To Use - After cleansing and toning, apply an adequate amount onto skin. Use up to twice a day.

To give this product a proper test I used 1 dropper, twice a day. There isn't really a scent to which makes you think that there really isn't any added ingredients which could be harmful to your skin. The consistency is just like your applying water to your face, it left my skin feeling soft, smooth and moisturised as well as looking healthier.

Retail Price: $10

Rate 5/5

Next up we have a MILKY DRESS OASIS PEELING GEL, this gel gently removes dead skin cells to visibly improve skin complexion. The info card states that your skin will feel so much smoother after just a single use. It contains Sodium Hyaluronate so it doesn't dry out your skin, it also contains Lemon Extract and Grapefruit Extract which helps with brightening dull skin.

How To Use - After cleansing, pat skin dry. Apply an adequate amount onto your face, avoiding your eyes and lips, and gently massage for 1-2 minutes. Rinse with warm water, then follow up with your normal skincare routine. Use up to twice a week.

I thought that this gel smelt really nice, I like that you can feel and see the dead skin cells coming away as it means you can see and feel it actually working. It starts working as soon as you start massaging it into your skin. My skin was left feeling soft and smooth as well as feeling like I had given my skin a deep clean. I now use this on a regular basis and seen a big improvement in my skin.

Retail Price: $18

Rate 5/5

Lastly we have a GRAYMELIN DAY BY DAY CREAM, there are 4 different creams available, with all 4 targeting different skin concerns: moisture, dullness, elasticity and redness. If you do have the full set then you can vary your skincare routine depending on your skins condition that day. You can also target specific areas with the different creams. (1) The Moist Icecream contains Beta Glucan, Aloe Vera Leaf Extract and Sodium Hyaluronate to mositurise dry skin. (2) The V5 Multi Vita Cream contains Niacinamide and Vitamins A, C and E to brighten dull skin. (3) The Collagen Repair Cream contains Adenosine and Hydrolyzed Collagen to improve skin elasticity. Finally (4) the Cica Solution Cream uses Tea Tree Extract, Chamomile Extract and Centella Asiatica Extract to calm red and irritated skin.

How To Use - After cleansing and toning, apply an adequate amount onto affected areas. Use up to twice a day.

I got the (3) Collagen Repair Cream, which I think was the best one for me to receive with me getting older, I need to start taking more care of my skin. I think it smells really nice and it left my skin feeling soft, smooth and moisturised. I use this as my regular moisturiser and would happily recommend.

Retail Price: $21

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.

I was really happy with March's MISHIBOX, even if it did take me a while to actually get this post written. I would have to say my favourite products were the Oasis Peeling Gel, the Eggplant Bubble Pad and the Day By Day cream, those three products really blew me away and left me wanting to use and purchase again in the future. One thing I've noticed about these products too is that two of the products were created by Graymelin, it just shows how much they take skincare seriously. I now have my April MISHIBOX and can't wait to get stuck into it and get trying out the products within.

See you soon!

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

 First up we have an INNISFREE IT'S REAL SQUEEZE MASK, this mask comes in 14 different varieties, all of which have different skin benefits. All 14 varieties are clinically proven to increase your skins moisture level, the triple layer sheet technology allows the concentrate to absorb into your skin better. Varieties include Cucumber, Bamboo, Aloe, Green Tea, Manuka Honey, Kiwi, Shea Butter, Pomegranate, Tea Tree, Blackberry, Bija, Lime, Strawberry, Rose, Acai Berry and Rice.

How To Use - After cleansing and toning, spread the mask over your face for 10-20 minutes. Remove the mask and pat any remaining concentrate to increase absorption.

 The mask I got was the Bija mask and it smelt really nice and was really easy to apply, my skin was left feeling silky as well as feeling soft, smooth and moisturised. Once I removed the mask it didn't take long for the remaining essence to absorb into my skin.

Retail Price: $2/£1.52

Rate 5/5

Next up we have a 3W CLINIC POWER VOLUME MASCARA, this mascara is a waterproof mascara that curls your lashes with polymer, and gives it staying power with natural Carnauba Wax from Brazilian palm trees. Carnauba Wax gives your lashes a shiny, glossy finish, it's hypoallergenic and also has moisturising properties, so it won't dry out your lashes.

How To Use - Apply 1-2 coats to your eyelashes to curl and volumize.

This mascara really is long lasting and I'm not surprised that Carnauba Was is known as Queen of Waxes as it made my eyelashes look glossy, I have long lashes anyway so this mascara just made them look even better. It's really quick and easy to apply and when it comes to removing it, it's best removed with make-up remover designed for waterproof mascara. This mascara is now my go to mascara and is now placed in my make-up bag.

Retail Price: $7/£5.33

Rate 5/5

 Next we have our spotlight product GRAYMELIN'S ASTA STEMCELL GEL CREAM, this gel cream contains Astaxanthin, which is a powerful beta-carotenoid antioxidant found in certain plants and animals (salmon, krill, shrimp, micro-algae), and Camellia Sinensis Callus Culture Extract, the extract of cultured stem cells from Green Tea, to improve skin health. These ingredients along with Sodium Hyaluronate, Adenosine and Collagen protect skin from external damage, repair the skin barrier, increase elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. It has a gel type consistency which absorbs quickly into the skin to moisturise. and is especially recommended during dry and cold winter months.

How To Use - Graymelin recommends using the cream right after cleansing for maximum efficacy. Take a pea sized amount, let it melt slightly in your hand, then apply onto your entire face and neck, avoiding eyes and lips. Pat gently to increase absorption.

I loved this, it absorbed really quickly into my skin and smelt really nice, my skin was left feeling soft, smooth and moisturised and was also left looking brighter. It did feel really odd for the fact that its a cream but is more jelly consistency than a cream. While some may think the pricing is a little steep, I think you really get your money's worth from this product as you only need a small amount to cover your entire face. We've also in 3 past boxes had items from Graymelin and I've loved all the past 3 items and still use them to this day.

Retail Price: $32/£24.37

Rate 5/5

Next we have a DR. VITA VITAMIN HAND CREAM, this hand cream is refreshing but highly moisturising, which is perfect for the winter months. It contains Adenosine which has anti-ageing properties. As your hands are always exposed to the sun, it's prone to developing signs of ageing such as sun spots and wrinkles. The Vitamin hand cream contains Lemon Extract, which helps brighten your skin, Sodium Hyaluronate to moisturise and increase elasticity and MultiEx A Allergics Complex which helps calm irritated skin.

How To Use - Apply adequate amount onto clean hands as often as necessary.

 This cream is amazing, it smells absolutely gorgeous and after applying I couldn't stop smelling my hands. Just from the smell I knew this would be my new handbag hand cream and the bonus is it left my hands feeling soft and moisturised, definitely a keeper.

Retail Price: $4/£3.05

Rate 5/5

Lastly we have an ETUDE HOUSE MY BEAUTY TOOL LOVELY ETTI HAIR BAND, MISHIBOX says this is a must have for any K-Beauty lover. This soft hair band will hold your hair back while you cleanse, mask or apply make-up and help you to look super cute while doing so.

How To Use - Secure onto head to keep hair out of face while going through your K-Beauty skincare routine.

As you can see from most of my pictures, I'm already using this hair band. I've been wanting one of these hair bands for quite a while so was super happy and excited when I opened my MISHIBOX and saw this little cutie in there. It makes cleansing and applying my make up so much easier and faster as my hair is completely pulled back and out of my face.

Retail Price: $6/£4.57

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 think it's safe to say December's box was a big hit with me, I loved all the products that were inside but I do have to say my favourite has to be the hair band as I've been wanting one for such a long time. Each item has it's own amazing qualities and I highly recommend each and every one of them, I don't think you'd be disappointed.

See you soon!

MISHIBOX: March Unboxing & Review

Hello

March's spotlight product comes from Skin Watchers with their Enzyme Powder Wash.

Lets get started!

First we have a TOSOWOONG PURE MASK, Tosowoong's Pure Mask delivers brightening and wrinkle care in just one sheet mask. Active ingredients include niacinamide for brightening, xanthan gum for mouisturising and adenosine for elasticity. Mask varieties include: Vlueberry, Green Tea, Deep Sea Water, Propolis, Aloe and snail.

How To Use - After cleanser and toner, place on face for 15-20 minutes. Pat remaining essence to increase absorption. Use 1-3 times a week.

 I really like these face masks from Tosowoong, I got the Pure Aloe Mask. The Aloe mask helps to soothe and calm irritated and sensitive skin while also delivering intense hydration to boost the skins moisture and enhance the skins texture and radiance. I'm always really hit or miss when it comes to applying these masks, my skin was feeling a little sore when I used this mask and once removed my skin felt a lot better, softer and smoother, which I think you can really see in the after picture. I would really recommend this mask for anyone that suffers from irritated or sensitive skin as I found it to be a big help.

Retail Price: $2/£1.59

Rate 5/5

Next we have a PACKAGE MONTHLY NEW FEET, these mask socks exfoliate with AHA Complex and softens with orange oil for baby soft feet, which is perfect with Summer just around the corner.

How To Use - Cover each foot with sock for 60 minutes, then remove socks and rinse feet. Dead skin cells will start to peel in 1-3 days. Use once a month.

I suffer a lot with dry skin especially on my heels so I do like using these type of foot masks. The socks did smell strong of the products but I think that was just because there was so much actually in the socks to moisturise the feet for an hour. My feet were left feeling smooth, soft and feeling fresh after using the mask as well as leaving a nice scent from using the socks too. It's not a pretty sight once the dead skin cells start to peel away but your feet definitely feel better for it. We got socks like these in a previous box and I have to say that these are my favourite of the two, I felt that they fit to my feet better and none of the liquid leaked out.

Retail Price: $3/£2.40

Rate 5/5

Next we have PACKAGE MELT ME SOFTLY, this lemon herb nose pack is designed to fight against blackheads for clean pores, as well as helping tackle sebum. The nose pack also provides an essence type massage effect, leaving your nose feeling clean and pampered.

How To Use - After Cleanser and toner, place on nose for 15 minutes. Use a cotton swab to remove the softened sebum/blackheads. Use 3-4 times a week.

 I was skeptical when I first saw this nose pack as most blackhead products are strips that you leave to dry and then pull off with it taking the blackheads with them, and I thought how is this going to remove blackheads. I was left surprised when my nose looked less oily and blackhead free, personally for me this nose pack worked a lot better than the product we got in last months MISHIBOX, not only could I feel a difference I could also see a difference. Come my next payday I will be ordering more of these.

Retail Price: $1/£0.80

Rate 5/5

 Next we have a GRAYMELIN FOOT BUTTER HEEL & ELBOW BALM, this is a thick cream to tackle dried spots on both your heels, elbows and even your knees. It contains Shea Butter and smooths and softens your skin immediately, while also creating a protective layer to keep the skin moisturised.

How To Use - Massage onto clean heels and elbows daily.

As I've mentioned before I can often get dry heels and suffer from my elbows feeling dry and sore, so getting something like this is amazing for me. I love the packaging and I love that it's also pretty much the same design as their rice & sugar soft scrub, so high hopes were held for this cream. It smelt gorgeous, I only used it on my elbows but they instantly felt moisturised as well as soft, they didn't feel as sore either. This cream is definitely one that I will continue to use and really recommend it for anyone that suffers from dry heels, elbows or even knees.

Retail Price: $15/£12.01

Rate 5/5

 Next we have a FASCY MOISTURE BOMB HAND CREAM, Fascy uses character-focused designs for all of their products and these hand creams are no different, the creams are said to be fast-absorbing hand creams leaving your hands feeling moisturised and smelling nice. Varieties include: Violet, Peach, grapefruit, Strawberry and Milk.

How To Use - Apply onto clean hands and rub gently. Use as often as needed.

I got the strawberry hand cream and it smells absolutely gorgeous, I'm not normally a fan of fruit scented products but this hand cream smells good enough to eat. The cream absorbed into my skin pretty quickly and left my hands feeling smooth and moisturised as well as smelling really nice, I couldn't stop smelling them as they smelt so nice. I love the packaging as it appeals to pretty much any age, it also reminds me of Korean webtoon artwork, so it even calls to my manga interest as well as my need and want to have soft hands. I'd love to give the violet and milk varieties a go to see how they smell and make my hands feel.

Retail Price: $5/£4

Rate 5/5

 Lastly we have our spotlight product, SKIN WATCHERS ENZYME POWDER WASH, Skin Watchers is a brand that focuses on providing high quality products using natural ingredients. All of their products have superior quality as well as affordable prices. The Enzyme Powder Wash contains ingredients derived from papaya and corn to help remove sebum and debris from the skin, with a pH of 5.5, it effectively cleans the skin without causing excessive dryness.

How To Use - Pour a coin-sized amount onto clean hands. Add water and rub together to produce a rich lather, Massage gently onto face and rinse with warm water.

 I always like to test these when I'm removing my make-up to see how well it removes it, and this is now my new favourite product from not only MISHIBOX but also from Skin Watchers. Skin Watchers is a well known brand within MISHIBOX as they used their products quite a few times. My skin is left feeling clean, fresh and smooth once I've used it. Some products after using them can leave my skin feeling dry and tight but this powder wash doesn't, I've used this quite a lot on an evening and in a morning and I can really see and feel a difference from other products I use for cleaning my skin, especially when removing my make up, it's really quick and easy to use and HIGHLY recommend this product, so far I've not been disappointed with a spotlight product.

Retail Price: $20/£16

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 think it's safe to say that the March MISHIBOX is my favourite box so far for 2017, I've not been disappointed by any of the products we received in March's box which makes me really anticipate April's box.

See you soon!
