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!

MISHIBOX: October Unboxing & Review

Hello

Lets get into October's MISHIBOX.

First up out of the box we have a PROUD MARY ANIMAL MASK PACK, these are character masks and since I saw Jackson from GOT7 use one of these masks I wanted to try one for myself because they look fun. We were sent a mask at random, the info card showed that there was a tiger mask, a monkey mask and a panda mask, each mask did something different. The tiger mask is for wrinkle care and elasticity, the monkey mask is for soothing, pore care and sebum control and finally the panda mask is for brightening and moisturising.

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

It wasn't till I took the mask out of the packaging that I realised it was a character mask, it was really fun to use. I left the mask on for the full 20 minutes and when I took the mask off it was pretty much dry, so my skin must have needed it. I'd love to try more of these from this brand but I couldn't find them on the MISHIBOX website, so I'm on the hunt for my of these types of masks to try and use.

Retail Price: $3/£2.40

Rate 5/5

Next up we have a HONGIK SKIN O2 BUBBLE FOAM CLEANSER, it's said that this gentle bubble mask pack doubles as a cleanser with puffy, creamy bubbles. It has moisture retaining oxygen bubbles and vitamin capsules that help lift heavy make up and residues in pores without irritating or dehydrating the skin. There are 2 versions of this product available and both do different things, the Aqua version is purifying and hydrating, while the Olive version is more moisturising.

How To Use - Use 4-5 times a week. Apply onto dry, cleansed face, Rinse off with warm water after 1-2 minutes.

I've only used this cleanser once and as you can see from the pictures I got the Aqua version. This has to be my favourite cleanser not only that I have received through MISHIBOX but the best cleanser I have ever used. It may not tackle my mascara but the rest of my make up was removed with this cleanser. It felt really weird feeling it bubble but it was obviously doing as advertised. This is a cleanser I will start to use on a regular basis and recommend others to use too as my skin was left feeling clean and refreshed.

Retail Price: $22/£17.49

Rate 5/5

Next we have a LADYKIN GREEN HARMONY MASK PACK, these were another item we were sent at random as there are 4 different versions, all tackling different areas. It's a wash off mask pack that comes in Pumpkin, blueberry, Pear and Chrysanthemum. The Pumpkin mask contains pumpkin extract, vitamin A, C and E to moisturize skin, repair skin damage, soothe and soften skin, remove dead skin cells, unclog pores and control sebum. The Blueberry mask is rich in vitamins A, B and C that help to repair skin damage, clear acne, provide anti-aging benefits and brighten the skin tone. The pear mask is rich in vitamin C and K, which help repair skin damage, moisturize, heal acne, and control sebum. The Chrysanthemum mask is great for calming, relaxing and hydrating tired and sensitive skin.

How to Use - Apply evenly onto your face while avoiding the lip and eye areas and leave on for 15-20 minutes. Rinse off with warm water and pat dry your face.

I received the Pear mask in my MISHIBOX and it definitely left my skin feeling soft and moisturised, I can often get an oily T-zone but this masked cleared it up straight away, my skin was left feeling more supple. It was really easy to apply and smelt really nice, it went on like a really thin cream.

Retail Price: $3/£2.40

Rate: 5/5

Next out of the box we have a LADYKIN AFFINITIC CREAM/MOISTURISER, we were sent these in a mini size, which is pretty much a tester size, again we were sent one at random as there are 2 different ones there is a pink one that is a cream and a blue one which is a moisturiser.  The Affinitic Snail Cream is formulated with 80% snail mucin filtrate to moisturize, provide anti-aging, skin elasticity, skin damage prevention and glossy skin benefits. The Affinitic Whitening Moisturiser is formulated with yam extract, pine leaf extract, cypress extract and green tea extract to provide brigthening, pore care, sebum care, soothing and moisture.

How To Use - After your cleanser and toner, take an appropriate amount and gently apply along with the skin texture. Gently tap to help with absorption.

I received the blue snail which is the moisturiser, and I'm glad I received this one as I now use this after removing my make up as my eyelids can feel sore after removing my mascara and eye liner and applying this after really soothed how sore my eyelids felt. My hands did feel a bit sticky after using this but the benefits from using it make that fact a minor problem. My skin was left feeling soothed, moisturised and soft. This is a product that I would go on to purchase the larger version when the rest of my serum and moisturisers have run out.

Retail Price: $5/£3.99

Rate 5/5

Lastly out of the October MISHIBOX we have a MCC ACCENT GEL EYELINER, this product says it's great for sensitive skin types as it has a gentle, low-irritation formula made with sweet almond oil and argan oil. It includes a delicate brush that makes it easy to draw sharp lines.

How To Use - Take a reasonable amount with the included brush and apply along the lines of the eyes. To remove, make sure to use a make up remover with soft cotton to gently melt away the eyeliner.

This eye liner is great and easy to use, it applies better than other gel eyeliners I have used in the past but sadly for me it's one of the eyeliners that causes my eyes to water, which means I'm often dabbing the corners of my eyes where I place my flicks and which then in turn ends up with the flicks disappearing. Even though it's no necessarily the best on my eyes I would recommend this eyeliner and will continue to use it even if I have to use a separate eyeliner for my flicks, as this eyeliner seems to take me less time to apply compared to another that I use. I also used this for my Halloween make up for work when I was dressed as a cat, it's perfect for cat whiskers and features, it lasted my full shift.

Retail Price: $18/£14.37

Rate 4/5

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.

Overall I think has been one of my favourite boxes from MISHIBOX and next month I will have been subscribed for a year. It may not be good for your skin to constantly apply different products but I've noticed through these boxes my skin has felt better from all the products I've tried and tested, I have a big line of serum's and moisturisers that are in their full sizes that I still have to use but for now I'm only using one at a time till they each run out then it's back to MISHIBOX to repurchase my favourites.

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 Christmas gift for a beauty enthusiast.

See you soon!
