It's time to unbox Augusts MISHIBOX, lets check out the goodies shall we?

 First up we have a ESFOLIO PURE SKIN ESSENCE SHEET MASK, this mask comes in 10 varieties: Milk, Pearl, Green Tea, Honey, Collagen, Snail, Egg, Volcanic Ash, Red Ginseng and Aloe. Each of the masks are formulated with Chinese Quince Fruit Extract and Purslane Extract which helps to increase skin elasticity and moisturise your skin.

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

 I thought this mask smelt really nice and I thought that there was an adequate amount of essence on the mask, so that none of the product dripped off while wearing the mask. I really liked this mask, the mask had a really nice cooling feel and it left my skin feeling soft, smooth, tighter and moisturised. It also left my skin feeling deep cleaned and refreshed, I'd happily use this sheet mask again.

Retail Price: $2/£1.53

Next we have a WANGSKIN EYEBROW TATTOO PEN, this eyebrow tattoo pen is said to give you waterproof, long-lasting eyebrow make up without the pain or the expense of real eyebrow tattoos or microblading. This product is available in 2 shades: light brown and dark brown, to achieve your desired look. Light brown can be used for a natural appearance and dark brown for a more dramatic look.

How To Use - Cleanse and dry your face completely. Use the attached applicator brush to draw your desired brow shape. Let dry completely for at least 1 hour. Longer drying time will lead to more defined colour. Peel off the product slowly and gently from the edges. Colour will last for 3-7 days depending on your skin type and cleanser.

This is really easy and simple to apply, I was a little nervous about using this as I didn't want my eyebrows looking too dark. I left it on to dry for about 45 minutes but I would suggest if you do want a more dramatic brow look then leave the product on for longer than an hour. It was pretty easy and pain free to remove, but it did pull out a few eyebrow hairs in the process. My eyebrows look a lot fuller and they thankfully don't look too dark and dramatic but I can see a clear difference in the colour.

Retail Price: $15/£11.49

Rate 4.5/5

 Next up we have a ETTANG COOK PACK THE FRESH RUBBER MASK, this Cook Pack comes in 4 varieties: Red, White, Black and Yellow. The Red mask is moisturising, lifting and provides antioxidant effects. The White mask is conditioning and brightening. The Yellow mask is moisturising and exfoliating and the Black mask is revitalising and has antioxidant effects.

How To Use - Cleanse and dry face. Cut off the top part of the outer pouch and remove contents. Pour pats 1 and 2 into the empty outer pouch, and mix together using the included spatula. Spread the mixture onto your face and let it dry for 20-30 minutes. Carefully remove the rubber mask, and finish with your regular skincare routine.

 This mask was pretty easy and simple to make, but the packaging is a little small to be able to mix the mask properly. The mask does smell really nice, and was easy to apply, I ended up using my fingers to apply the mask as I was getting the desired application from the spatula. The mask felt really nice and cooling while I had it on my face, after removal my skin was left feeling cool, soft, smooth and moisturised.

Retail Price: $6/£4.59

Rate 4/5

Next we have a L'ADOR PERFECT HAIR FILL-UP AMPOULE, this hair ampoule is a highly concentrated hair ampoule that repairs damaged hair while nourishing and moisturising at the same time. It's formulated with enriched protein to smooth and strengthen your hair. Ceramide, Collagen and Amino Acids also improve the health of your hair. Use this ampoule to help prevent damage, or to repair existing damage from hair dyes and/or heat styling. It will leave your hair visibly smooth and silky.

How To Use - In a clean bowl, mix the ampoule with approximately 10 ml of water in a 1:1 ratio. Stir until the mixture becomes thick and creamy. Apply the creamy ampoule all over your hair and and then pin up your hair. Cover your hair with a plastic hair cap. Leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse your hair with warm water (without shampoo), and then style your hair as desired. Use once a week.

This ampoule is really easy and simple to make and it's really quick and easy to apply. I thought the ampoule mixture smelt really nice and my hair was left feeling soft and silky, as well as feeling and looking clean. We received this ampoule  back in 2016 as part of March's MISHIBOX and I'm happy to say it left my feeling just as good as the last time I used it.

Retail Price: $4/£3.06

Rate 5/5

 Lastly we have a IUNIK ROSE GALACTOMYCES SYNERGY SERUM, iUNIK is a relatively new brand that caught the attention of MISHIBOX with their minimalistic approach to skincare at an affordable price. The Rose Galactomyces Synergy Serum, combines two powerful ingredients to improve your skin. Rose Water and Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate, the Rose Water has long been utilised in skincare for it's balancing, calming and moisturising effects. While the Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate helps with sebum control, wrinkle care, and brightening. The serum also contains niacinamide for brightening, sodium hyaluronate for moisturising, and allantoin for soothing the skin.

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

This serum is the consistency of water and absorbs really quickly into the skin, once applied I didn't feel like I'd put any sort of product onto my skin, making my skin still feel clean. It also left my skin feeling soft and moisturised.

Retail Price: $20/£15.31

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 really liked the products in August's box, I rated everything pretty high as they all met my expectations and I'm quite surprised that I really liked the Eyebrow Tattoo Pen. I'd happily recommend all 5 of these products and it's raised the excitement for Septembers box.

See you soon!

MISHIBOX: March Unboxing & Review

Hello

Guess what? it's time for another unboxing and review this time for my March MISHIBOX, I really enjoy receiving these boxes and most importantly I love trying out all the products, I've found new products to use in these past 4 months and I look forward to finding more. Lets see what I got in my March MISHIBOX.

This months products were hidden underneath green tissue paper connected with the usual MISHIBOX sticker.

The same helpful info card, with all the details of the products within this box.

First up in the we have Velieve Girlish Mask, this mask was sent in each box at random as it's available in 4 different options: Aloe is great for moisturising and calming skin that has become sensitive and irritated from external conditions, Honey moisture is great for moisturising and nourishing dull and dry skin into moist and dewy skin, Collagen lifting is great for improving skin elasticity, pore care and moisturization and Vita shining is formulated with vitamin c for brightening uneven skin tone.

How To Use - After your cleanser and toner, place the mask onto your face for 15-20 minutes. After removing the mask gently pat any remaining essence into your skin.

I got the Aloe Soothing mask and I loved the smell of it and after using it my skin did feel moisturised but even after the essence was absorbed it left my skin feeling slightly tacky, which I wasn't really too fond of.
Retail Price: $2/£1.40
Rate 3/5

Next we have the Tony Moly Panda's Dream Eye Patch, this product is formulated with bamboo water extracts, aloe vera, niacinamide and vitamin c. The eye patches are anti-ageing, hydrating and brightens up dull and dry skin around the eyes. The info card says that they are great for anyone with severe dark circles under the eyes and anyone with dry and finely wrinkled skin around the eyes.
How To Use - After your cleanser and toner, remove the patch from the packaging and peel off the clear liner. Place over your eyes for 20 minutes. If necessary you can fold over the flaps on the eye patches to create openings for your eyes.

My favourite animal is a panda and I love that these patches are black giving the illusion of panda eyes, these patches left my eyes feeling refreshed and skin around my eyes feeling moisturised and softer. I will definitely be using these again, they have been added to my list of MISHIBOX products that I want to keep using.
Retail Price: $3/£2.10
Rate 5/5

Next we have Puerderm Ultra Repair Foot Mask(Apricot), this sick-type foot mask repairs rough and dry feet with highly emollient shea butter, apricot and other natural healing ingredients. This foot mask noticeably smoothes, softens and repairs dry, cracked, calloused feet and heels to improve the look and feel of even the driest feet.
How To Use - Wash your feet with warm water. Open the packet and wear the foot masks. After 20-30 minutes, remove the foot masks. You do not need to wash your feet again. Be careful if you walk around with the foot masks as they may be slippery.

I've said before that I can suffer with dry skin on my feet which can lead to my heels feeling sore but since I used the exfoliating foot mask in a past box my feet have been better and this foot mask has helped more, instead of soaking the feet in a liquid, with this foot mask your leaving you feet in a mask that is moisturiser. My feet felt extremely soft after the removal of the socks and I definitely prefer this foot mask to the last one.
Retail Price: $6/£4.21

Next we have Lador Perfect Fill-Up Hair Ampoule, it says that this product is a highly concentrated hair ampoule that is a powerfully effective way to repair damaged hair while also nourishing and moisturising it. It's formulated with enriched protein, ceramide, collagen and amino acids. It says it makes your hair more elastic, silky and healthy and it's great for damaged hair.
How To Use - In a clean bowl, mix the ampoule with approximately 10ml of water in a 1:1 ratio. Stir until the mixture becomes thick and creamy. Apply the mixture all over your hair and then pin up your hair. Cover your hair with the included  plastic hair cap. Leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse your hair with warm water (without shampoo), and then style your hair as desired.

I have days where my hair can feel dry and damaged and I do try to look after my hair as I do have my hair bleached blonde with a pink dye at the front. I've come along way from how damaged my hair used to be from dyeing it so I don't want to let it get back to that state again. I shampoo and condition my hair every few days, while also using a thicker conditioner 2-3 times a month, so when it comes to my hair I'm happy to try new products to keep my hair feeling soft, silky and healthy. The texture reminded me of wallpaper paste but with a better smell to it. It was really easy to apply and rinsed out pretty quickly. If I only shampoo my hair it can feel dry so I was nervous that it would leave my hair feeling dry and horrible but once dried it felt like I had washed my hair with both shampoo and conditioner. This is a product I will continue to use for keeping my hair healthy.
Retail Price: $4/£1.40
Rate 5/5

Next we have Velieve Fondue Foam Cleanser, it says these cleansers are great for washing away make-up and other impurities to leave your skin healthy and glowing. The cleansers come in two options: Rose contains actual rose flower petals, rose hip flower extract and other berry extracts to relax your face with aroma therapy and keep your skin radian and fresh. Green tea contains actual green tea leaves and other pure botanical herbal extracts. With the green tea's natural astringent effect, this cleanser is great for  soothing and cleansing your skin while helping it to appear brighter and flawless. They are great for all skin types.
How To Use - Wet your face with warm water, and then squeeze an appropriate amount of the cleanser onto your hand. Rub your hands to create a rich, foamy lather. Gently massage foam onto your face in circular motions and then rinse with warm water.

We were sent one of the cleansers at random and I got the Rose cleanser. I didn't have make-up on when I used this cleanser so I'm not to sure on how good it will remove the make-up that I use, but it's really easy to use. It smelt really nice and had a really creamy consistency, to me it looks similar to an exfoliator that I used to use but without all the grain when using it. It was really easy to wash off and didn't take too long till it was all removed. My skin did feel slightly tight after use but I'm thinking and hoping that's because it's a new product I'm trying, I'll continue to use it to see if there is a difference made.
Retail Price: $15/£10.54
Rate 4/5

Lastly we have D'ran Aqua Wonders Intensive Renewing Essence, it says this essence delivers the high absorption and moisturising powers of Alaska glacial milk to make the skin moist and comfortable, It's formulated with fermented soybean extract to help calm and nourish the skin and improve skin elasticity. The Alaska glacial milk contains abundant minerals that are quickly absorbed into the skin to improve moisture. It is also formulated with sea complex to give vitality to the skin and help make the skin clean and clear. It says this essence is great for smoothing the skin, brightening the skin tone and relieving dry and fatigued skin.
How To Use - After your cleanser and toner, take an appropriate amount of the essence and gently massage onto your skin. Gently pat your skin to help the essence absorb.

I was surprised when I pumped the essence out of the tube as I was expecting a cream, I've never used an essence before so this one is new to me. To be honest on first look I thought it looked like something else. It smells really good and has left my skin feeling soft and moisturised, it also left my skin feeling smooth. It absorbed so much quicker than my moisturiser, and I will continue to use this in place of my moisturiser to see if it makes my skin feel and look even better. I couldn't find the actual product on the MISHIBOX website but I did find something similar from the same company which was D'ram Aqua Wonder Intensive Renewing Serum, so I'm going to base the pricing on this item.
Retail Price: $34/£25.30

Now it's time to get down to the business side of the MISHIBOX, like most subscription services there are many options to choose from and MISHIBOX is no different. You can choose from the annual subscription box which is $239.40/£163.66 upfront so that means you can relax knowing a years worth of boxes have been paid for, a 12 month subscription box which is the same price as the above apart from this one only lasts 12 months, a 6 month subscription box which is $119.70/£81.83 and this finishes after 6 months, a 3 month subscription box which is $59.85/£40.92 which again finishes after 3 months and lastly a monthly subscription box which is $19.95/£13.64 and is a reoccurring payment each month, all boxes also have shipping fee's which even with the shipping fee the price of the box is worth it for what you get inside it. These boxes are extremely popular and sell out really fast so if you interested I would suggest being quick to avoid disappoint.

Like what you have seen in this post then head to the MISHIBOX website.

Another great box from MISHIBOX and as always I can't wait for the next one to land on my doorstep.

See you soon!
