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

 First up we have ETUDE HOUSE SILK SCARF DOUBLE HAIR MASK, this hair mask is a DIY mask to deep condition your hair. The effects of this mask can last up to 7 days with just one treatment.

How To Use - After shampooing, squeeze out excess water from hair. Work step 1 into your hair, focusing on your hair tips. Then place step 2 hair cap onto your head and massage your hair gently. Leave on for 15-20 minutes, then rinse hair thoroughly with warm water.

 This hair mask smelt nice, it was a thick cream and was easy to work into my hair. The hair cap was a little big for my head, so bits of my hair kept falling out. Once I had dried my hair it was soft and silky and left my hair smelling gorgeous. I would definitely buy this mask again to use as a fortnightly/monthly hair mask. When I normally dry my hair it's all frizzy and needs straightening to look sleek, while this mask left my hair pretty straight from it being dried, meaning I didn't have to take a long time straightening it myself.

 Next up we have a GOODAL MILD SHEET MASK, Goodal uses natural ingredients found in Korea and utilises modern technology to bring the full benefits to to your skin. These sheet masks are made from 100% Eco-friendly Bamboo Fibre for a smooth, comfortable fit. Varieties include Apple which is smoothing, Citron which is brightening, Mugwork which is soothing, Green Tea which is Moisturising, Lotus which is pore tightening, Tea Tree which soothing, Blueberry which is vitalising, Ginseng which is moisturising, Quince which is nourishing and Raspberry which is firming.

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

 I got the Green Tea mask and it smelt nice. It was really cooling on my skin and I liked how the essence absorbed into my skin, leaving my skin feeling soft and moisturised, I'd happily use it again.

Retail Price: $2

Next up we have CALMIA OATMEAL THERAPY CLEANSING TISSUES, these cleansing tissues wipe away makeup, dirt and debris from your skin without irritating or drying out your skin. They're formulated with Oatmeal Extract and Mungbean Extract, which are excellent for soothing skin, and Papaya Extract is also added for it's gentle exfoliation properties.
How To Use - Gently wipe skin to remove makeup, dirt and debris. For harder to remove makeup, apply the tissue onto area for 5-10 minutes before wiping.

I was really pleasantly surprised by these cleansing tissues, normally when I use wipes to remove my make up, it takes a while, meaning I end up using 3-4 wipes (on both sides) to remove everything, also leaving my skin feeling irritated and my eyes feeling sore and tender. These cleansing tissues removed my makeup really well and pretty quickly, just 1 tissue removed a majority of my makeup, only leaving behind a little bit of mascara and eyeliner. My skin was left feeling clean and soft as well as being gentle on my eyes and not leaving the skin around my eyes and my lash line feeling sore and tender. I think these are perfect for removing dirt and makeup when you're too tired or don't want to be in the bathroom a while cleansing and rinsing your face.
Retail Price: $5
Rate 5/5

 Next we have IUNIK PROPOLIS VITAMIN SLEEPING PACK, this is a convenient and effective sleeping pack that can also be used during the day on those extra dry spots. It contains 16% Propolis Extract which is great foe moisturising and softening the skin, and 8% Vitamin Tree Fruit Extract for evening out your skin tone. With the addition of 5% Centella Extract which helps calm sensitive skin. It contains no artificial fragrance and is formulated with all Green Level EWG ingredients.
How To Use - After cleansing and toning, apply an adequate amount onto your face and neck. Leave on overnight. For use during the day, apply a thin layer onto dry spots.

 I was a little nervous about using this sleeping pack as the first and last time I used anything that contained Propolis, my skin didn't agree and I reacted to it, so I was glad and pleasantly surprised when I had no reaction to it. It smells gorgeous and absorbs into my skin really quickly, after applying my skin felt soft and moisturised, and I woke up to my skin still feeling soft and moisturised as well as glowing. I use this up to twice a week and my skin loves it.
Retail Price: $18/£14.02
Rate 5/5

 Lastly we have MAKEUP HELPER ART HOLIC SOFT FIT LIPSTICK, Makeup Helper collaborated with Korean artists to feature the illustrations on their packaging. Swipe onto your lips for a special occasion and see how much a little makeup can improve your mood. The semi-matte colours are suitable for both special occasions and everyday wear, and go on smoothly.
How To Use - Apply onto clean lips as often as desired.

The lipstick shade I got was Autumn Rose, it does as it says and it applies smoothly, it left my lips feeling moisturised. This lipstick has normal wear and tear when it comes to drinking and eating and needs reapplying after a while. I love the colour a perfect shade of red for the winter months. I also love the packaging it's so girly and pretty.

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.

Decembers MISHIBOX was my 3 year anniversary and I don't think I could have got a better box of products, I loved them all but I highly recommend the Silk Scarf Double Hair Mask, the Oatmeal Therapy Cleansing Tissues and the Art Holic Soft Fit Lipstick. I'm on the hunt for more of the hair mask as I loved how my hair looked and felt after using it. If you ever suffer from irritated skin after using cleansing wipes to remove makeup, then I highly recommend the Oatmeal Therapy Cleansing Tissues, I'm often put off wearing makeup because of the time it takes removing it but these wipes are heavenly and perfect for me. Decembers box was really 5 star and I can't wait to see what January's box brings.

See you soon!

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

 First up we have DOUBLE&ZERO DOUBLE CARE SOLUTION BLACK MASK, this mask contains Bamboo Charcoal which absorbs dirt and debris, and Bulgarian Rose which helps brighten and improve skin tone.
How To Use - After cleansing and toning, place sheet mask onto face for 15-20 minutes. Pat any remaining essence to improve absorption.

The mask was saturated in essence, thankfully not to the point that it was dripping off the mask, the mask was quick and easy to apply and it fit my face shape pretty well. I left on the mask for 20 minutes and once removed there was still a lot of excess essence left behind, the essence took a while to absorb into my skin, meaning till it full absorbed it left my face feeling a little greasy as well as sticky and tacky, but overall my skin was left feeling soft. If it hadn't left my skin feeling and looking greasy and the essence had absorbed quicker I feel I would have loved this mask a whole lot more and rated it higher.
Retail Price: $3/£2.14
Rate 3/5

Next up we have PETITFEE DRY ESSENCE FOOT PACK, this foot pack contains a dry essence that's built into the cloth, meaning no messy liquids to deal with. Your body temperature melts the essence and absorbs into your skin for smooth and moisturised feet.
How To Use - Wash and dry feet. Cover each foot with the pack for 15-20 minutes, then remove.

 I loved the smell of this foot pack it reminded me of coconut, really easy to apply as you just wear them like socks and leave them to work their magic. I left them on for 15 minutes and my feet were left feeling soft and moisturised, an amazing quick fix for dry and sore feet.
Retail Price: $4/£2.85
Rate 5/5

 Next up we have our spotlight product PURITO CENTELLA GREEN LEVEL ALL IN ONE MILD PAD, Purito was founded in 2014 and is a brand committed to using safe and honest ingredients. They don't test on animals and they produce Eco-friendly products at reasonable prices. The Centella Green Level All In One Mild Pad uses all EWG Green Level ingredients, BHA and 10% Centella asiatica extract to gently exfoliate the skin, decrease inflammation and remove make-up and sebum.
How To Use - After cleansing, use pad to gently wipe off any remaining make-up and debris from the skin. Follow up with your favourite moisturiser and/or cream.

 These pads are amazing at removing any remaining foundation, eye shadow and lipstick but wasn't as good at removing remaining waterproof mascara, I don't think these are the best for eyes, especially removing mascara as my eyes did sting a little trying to get under my lash line, but overall did a fab job. My skin felt really clean and soft after using and each packet comes with 2 pads.
Retail Price: $5/£3.56 (5 packs of 2 pads)
Rate 4/5

Next we have CHOONEE WATER-PEAK MOIST GEL, this moist gel is a refreshing and hydrating formula with a watery gel texture. It has a cooling sensation that calms irritated skin, and contains 3 different forms of hyaluronic acid to lock in moisture.
How To Use - After cleansing and toning, spread an adequate amount onto face and neck.

This smells really nice and it applied and absorbed so quickly and easily, my skin is constantly left feeling soft and smooth, it's my new favourite daily moisturiser and is perfect for when my skin feels irritated from removing make-up.
Retail Price: $12/8.54
Rate 5/5

 Next up we have MEDILAB BLACK ROSE AMPOULE, this ampoule contains 64% Damask Rose Water which helps even out skin tone, brightens skin and improves texture. It also contains Rose Oil, Argan Oil and Camellia Oil which all help to moisturise skin.
How To Use - After cleansing and toning, apply an even layer onto skin. Follow up with your favourite moisturiser and/or cream.

This ampoule smells really nice and it applied and absorbed really quickly. My skin looked brighter and felt moisturised but it's definitely a product where the best results are seen from regular use.
Retail Price: $14/£9.97
Rate 5/5

 Lastly we have BEAUSKIN CRYSTAL LIPSTICK, this lipstick is a highly pigmented formula which glides on effortlessly. It contains a hydrating essence to keep your lips from drying out.
How To Use  - Apply an even layer onto clean lips. Re-apply throughout the day as needed.

This is a really nice shade and believe it or not is the darkest lipstick I now own, I tend to wear bright reds and purples so it looked a little odd when I first applied it. It was so quick and easy to apply and gave an even coverage over my lips. I didn't really get to test it's wear as I wore it out for a meal with my dad, so I didn't really check on it while I was out but there was visible signs of it when I was removing my make-up. I'd love to get all the colours that are in the range.
Retail Price: $12/£8.54
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 got a lot of new loves from this box and the main 3 that I do use a lot is the Water-Peak Moist Gel, the Black Rose Ampoule and the Crystal Lipstick. I can highly recommend all the products in the February box and I look forward to sharing with you the March MISHIBOX.

See you soon!
