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.
Retail Price: $3/£2.31
Rate 5/5



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!

Hello
안녕하세요

It's time to unbox and review July's MISHIBOX.


The spotlight product returned for our July MISHIBOX and this months spotlight product is a Water Sleeping Mask from Laneige.



Our first product is SKIN'S BONI YOGURT MASK PACK, this mask pack is inspired by the popular yogurt drink that many Koreans grew up with, like the drink the mask pack contains beneficial fermentation products such as bifida fermentation extract, lactobacillus fermentation extract and lactococcus fermentation extract, these ingredients nourish and hydrate the skin, and also helps to keep at it's ideal pH of 5.5.
How To Use - After cleansing and toning, place sheet mask on face for 15-20 minutes. Pat any remaining essence onto face to increase absorption. Use 1-3 times a week.
 I love the packaging for this sheet mask, it's basically a packet replica of the Korean yogurt drink, it smelt really sweet like the yogurt drink but it also smelt a little to sweet and sickly, the mask was easy to apply and made me feel like I was sat with a yogurt mask. My skin was left feeling soft but it was also left feeling rather greasy too which I wasn't really a fan of, personally I don't think this sheet mask was for me.
Retail Price: $3/£2.30
Rate 3/5



 Next we have a LINDSAY ALL-IN-ONE MODELLING MASK STANDING POUCH, this modelling mask is meant to make your skin soft and smooth with just one application, varieties of the mask include: Pearl - brightening, Hyaluronic acid - ice, Charcoal - purifying, Spirulina - moisture and Gold - energising. A spatula is included in each packet.
How To Use - After cleansing and toning, tear pouch along the top, then add water up to the pre-marked line. Stir with the provided spatula until the powder turns into a paste. Quickly apply a thick layer over entire face while avoiding the eyes and lips. Let dry for 15-20 minutes until the mask gets stiff, then remove. Follow up with your regular skincare routine. Use 1-3 times a week.
 This mask was easy to make and apply, even though it wasn't a smooth paste when I applied it, it was even quick and easy to remove, it simply just peeled off leaving my skin feeling soft and smooth to the touch, it's definitely a mask pack that I'd happily use again and even try out the other varieties from the range.
Retail Price: $4/£3.07
Rate 5/5



 Next we have a ESFOLIO FOOT & HEEL PEELING MASK, Keep your feet feeling baby soft all through summer, it tells us on the info card. This foot mask contains botanical ingredients such as lavender extract, lemon extract, grapefruit extract and chamomile extract to nourish and moisturise skin.
How To Use - Cover each clean foot with sock for 60-90 minutes, then remove socks and rinse feet. Dead skin cells will start to peel away in about 3 days. Use once a month.
 I love using these foot masks, my feet always feel better for it, the picture above was the before picture and a few days after the dead skin cells did start coming away especially once having a shower, but nothing has come away since so my feet must not be suffering as much since getting these masks in my MISHIBOX. My feet feel so much softer and moisturised since using this foot mask, I would definitely recommend anyone that suffers from dry, sore, cracked heels and feet as it's worked wonders for me.
Retail Price: $7/£5.47
Rate 5/5



 Next we have CHAMOS TROUBLE SKIN SOLUTION, this trouble skin solution is a real skin saver, according to our info card. It provides focused care on blemishes to decrease it's size overnight, Salicylic acid exfoliates skin and witch hazel extract decreases inflammation.
How To Use - Let product settle into two layers. After cleansing and toning, use a clean cotton swab and dab into the powdered portion, then smooth over blemish. Product can be used overnight, or under make up during the day.

The product settles quickly so if you accidentally knock it so it mixes, it's not too long before you can use it again, it's really easy and simple to apply and smells really nice. I noticed a big difference in the blemish I applied it to and it is now my go to product for blemishes.
Retail Price:
$22/£16.86
Rate 5/5



 Next we have an MCC NATURAL HERB ESSENTIAL LIP BALM, this lip balm uses Shea butter, honey extract and sweet almond oil to nourish and moisturise lips. Scent varieties for the lip balm includes Floral Herb, Fresh Herb and Sweet Herb.
How To Use - Apply onto clean lips as often as desired.
I have the Floral Herb lip balm and it smells gorgeous, it applies just like any normal lip butter or chap stick, it really helps to keep your lips feeling soft and hydrated and I think this lip balm would be ideal to use in the winter as well as the summer. I definitely recommend this lip balm to anyone that suffers from dry, sore, chapped lips to give them more of a herbal remedy to help keep them in great condition.
Retail Price: $10/£7.66
Rate 5/5



 Lastly we have the spotlight product LANEIGE WATER SLEEPING MASK, Laneige is one of the most famous Korean beauty/skincare companies in the world, Laneige has been in business since 1994, and lead the global K-beauty phenomenon. They focus on products to hydrate skin for a youthful, revitalised appearance. Our spotlight product Water Sleeping Mask, is a perennial K-beauty favourite, which utilises their hydro lonized mineral water to infuse moisture in dehydrated and tired skin, so you can wake to soft, refreshed skin.
How To Use - As part of your night time routine, apply an even layer onto skin after cleansing and toning.
This sleeping mask smells really nice and absorbs really quickly when applying it, it basically has a watery consistency when applying it, it just applies so quickly and smoothly. My skin was left feeling soft and smooth after applying it as well as when I woke up the next morning. This is now part of my nightly skincare routine.
Retail Price: $6/£4.60
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.

July's box was pretty much a hit with me and I'm really excited for August's box and I'm glad we got a return of the spotlight product for July and I hope the spotlight product remains as a regular for future boxes.

See you soon!
