Lets get stuck into the July MISHIBOX.

 First up we have a JMSOLUTION GLOW LUMINOUS FLOWER FIRMING MASK, this mask contains Damask Rose Water, Lavender, Calendula, Cherry Blosson and Moringa to brighten your skin. It's a 100% tencel silky mask that conforms to your skin to deliver maximum moisturising benefits deriving from 3 different forms of Hyaluronic Acid.

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

 I thought that this mask smelt really nice but I did find it really fiddly to separate and apply to my face.

There was quite a lot of essence on the mask and it had a creamy texture compare to the usual watery texture.

It was really cooling on my skin, there was quite a lot of essence remaining on my skin when I removed the mask and it took quite a while for it all to fully absorb into my skin. My skin though was left feeling soft and moisturised as well as looking and feeling refreshed.

Retail Price: $4

Rate 4.5/5

 Next we have a MEDIHEAL VITA LIGHTBEAM ESSENTIAL MASK, this mask contains Vitamin C Derivative, Tocopherol Acetate and White Willow Bark Extract to brighten dull skin for a radiant complexion.

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

 I thought that the mask smelt really nice and it applied to my face shape really easily and well, but it was a little fiddly to separate as it was pretty much drenched with essence.

The mask was cooling on my face and it left my skin feeling soothed, soft and moisturised.

Retail Price: $2

Rate 4.5/5

 Next we have MISSHA OIL CONTROL FILM, these little film sheets are soft as silk and highly effective at absorbing excess oil without disturbing your makeup. They are made with polypropylene, which has been tested to be safe for skin.

How To Use - Use to blot excess oil from your skin as often as necessary.

 I absolutely love the feel of these sheets, they do feel really soft and silky, they're are really soft to the point that you don't feel like you're placing anything onto your skin.

Depending on what products I use, I can sometimes get an oily T-Zone, especially on my nose. These sheets are really effective in absorbing the excess oil. I even used while I was wearing makeup and it still looked perfect even after dabbing a sheet on my nose.

I really recommend these sheets, and I'll definitely keep using these and I will purchase once they've ran out.

Retail Price: $3

Rate 5/5

 Next we have a MILKY DRESS AQUA SUN CREAM, this sun cream boasts an impressive SPF50+ PA+++ rating, all while keeping a light and refreshing texture. It absorbs quickly into the skin and doesn't feel greasy or tacky. It plays well with makeup and there isn't any white cast.

How To Use - Use as the last step in your morning skincare routine, apply an adequate amount onto all exposed parts of your skin. Reapply every few hours to maintain adequate sun protection.

I love the smell of this sun cream, it absorbed really quickly into my skin and left my skin feeling soft. I only needed a small amount to get full coverage on my face. I don't really think it would be ideal while wearing makeup just because reapplying would remove or mess up your makeup but it is a good moisturising base before applying any makeup.

Retail Price: $12

Rate 5/5

 Lastly we have a HARUHARU WONDER BLACK RICE SERUM, this is a lightweight serum that has the power of Black Rice for it's moisturising and antioxidant benefits. Fermented Black Rice Extract is high in flavanoids and polyphenols, which help decrease the effects of aging on skin. The serum also contains Hyaluronic Acid, Aloe Vera Leaf Extract and Trehalose for deep yet refreshing moisture. This product is free from parabens and isn't tested on animals.

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

This serum smells really nice and the consistency was more like a water than a cream.

It absorbed into my skin really well and left it feeling soft and moisturised as well as leaving it looking brighter.

Retail Price: $26

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.

My favourite's from the July MISHIBOX have to be the Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Serum, the MISSHA Oil Control Films and the JMSolution Glow Luminous Flower Firming Mask. While I did love all the products those 3 really stood out that little bit more for me.

Sadly for the time being I won't be receiving any MISHIBOX' as they have closed their shop while they move their warehouse to NYC and I'm assuming that's why I received an email saying my subscription had been cancelled, so I'll just have to keep my eyes open for the email telling me they're back up and running.

See you soon!

After a bit of a wait for me to post about, it's time to get stuck in May's MISHIBOX.

 First up we have ETUDE HOUSE 0.2 THERAPY AIR MASKS, these masks are hypo-allergenic masks that are designed to deliver nourishing ingredients without irritation. The sheet masks are very thin, allowing them to adhere to your skin perfectly. They only use EWG Level 1 and 2 ingredients. There are 15 different varieties available, which are: Ceramide (Powerful Moisture), Blueberry (Vital Firming), Snail (Glow Firming), Collagen (Plump Firming), Lotus (Calming Purifying), Manuka Honey (Moisture), Damask Rose (Water Recharge), Hyaluronic Acid (Hydrating Moisture), Pomegranate (Energy Glow), Strawberry (Vital Brightening), Lemon (Moisture Vital), Argan (Energy Firming), Olive (Moist Firming) Camellia (Elastic Gloss) and Calendula (Soothing Glow).

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

 I got the olive mask which is the moist firming mask, personally for me there was too much essence on the mask. It was nice on my skin and it fit pretty well to my face shape and I loved the feel when I removed the mask. My skin at first was left feeling slightly greasy but overall was left feeling soft smooth and moisturised.

Retail Price: $2/£1.59

Rate 3.5/5

 Next we have PUREDERM ARGAN OIL MAKE-UP REMOVER CLEANSING TOWELETTES, these towelettes gently remove make-up, sebum and debris from your skin without irritation. They combine Argan Oil, Vitamin E, Green Tea and Aloe Vera for cleansing, toning and exfoliating, making your skin feel refreshed and soft.

How To Use - Use towelette to gently wipe skin. For waterproof make-up, let the towelette rest on the affected area for 10-15 seconds before wiping. Reseal pack after each use and dispose of used towelette in the trash as they're not suitable for flushing.

These towelettes smell really nice, they removed my make-up pretty well, with my skin being left feeling refreshed and clean. Sadly though for me, my lash line was left feeling sore from removing both my eyeliner and mascara, because of this I now cleanse first to remove my make-up and then use these to remove any remaining and missed make-up.

Retail Price: $5

Rate 3.5/5

Next we have SON & PARK BEAUTY WATER, this beauty water achieved K-Beauty cult-status as soon as it was released for it's multi-tasking effects, from cleansing, exfoliating to toning. It's created by celebrity makeup artists and this product preps the skin to create a smooth texture. You can use it in a morning to see how much better your makeup applies, as well as at night, as the Beauty Water will gently remove makeup, dirt and debris. It contains Lavender Water, Rose Water and Orange Fruit Extract to moisturise and hydrate skin, as well as Papaya Extract which exfoliates. It's also formulated without parabens, phthalatesand sulfates.

How To Use - After cleansing, apply an adequate amount onto a cotton pad and gently wipe your face. Use up to twice a day.

I thought this Beauty Water smelt gorgeous and had a really nice citrus smell. I'm not a fan of the top of the bottle as only a tiny bit of the beauty water came out, I had to really squeeze the bottle to get a decent amount out, but I'm just hoping that it was just a design fault on my bottle. It was really effective at removing my make-up and dirt and didn't irritate my lash line. My skin was also left feeling soft and clean.

We received a travel size of this product but the full size is available on the site.

Retail Price: $7.50 (Travel size) £23.80 (Full size)

Rate 4.5/5

 Next we have DR. DUO NOTOPHARM MOISTURE CREAM, this is an all-over moisture cream designed to be used from head to toe, and for all ages. The Notopharm Moisture Cream provides soft, gentle, yet deep moisturising effects. You can use it on your face, neck and/or body. The generously sized bottle will provide your entire family with lasting moisture.

How to Use - After cleansing, apply an adequate amount onto your skin, avoiding your eyes and lips. Cream may be used on face, neck and body. Use up to twice a day.

This cream smells really nice and it absorbed into my skin really well and quickly. Personally for me the cream is a little too thick for me to use as a moisturiser for my face, so I use it on my legs. It left my legs feeling really soft and moisturised and has become my favourite body moisturiser.
Retail Price: $22
Rate 5/5

Next we have MILKY DRESS BARBIE MAKE AUTO GEL LINER, this is a twist up gel liner that is available in dark brown and black. It's a gel eyeliner with a soft, creamy texture and ensures calligraphic precision and is smudge proof with high adherence that dries quickly.

 I was rather nervous about using this eyeliner as it's been a while since I've used a gel pen liner, let me also start off by saying the info card stated it was a pen eyeliner that was in our box but it was in fact a completely different product but from the same brand and line. I had a little trouble when it came to the application as the tip broke off twice while I was attempting to put it on. I wasn't expecting it to apply as well and as quickly as it did, it applied really smoothly even on top of my eye shadow, I had smooth lines which I never get from my gel and brush combo that I use. It was really long lasting and durable and didn't budge until it came to cleansing my make up off. I will happily buy this liner again and I have continued using it since my first use.
Retail Price: Unknown
Rate 5/5

 Lastly we have ETUDE HOUSE MY BEAUTY TOOL HAIR ROLLERS, these are hair rollers create beautiful curls without damaging heat. They come in two sizes: Medium and Large, so you can style the look you desire. The provided clips will secure the rollers in place while hair is styled.
How To Use - Comb out hair and roll a section of your hair with the roller. Secure with the clip. Apply heat with hair dryer or use without heat. Unroll after several minutes and style as desired. Leave roller in for a longer time for more pronounced curls.

I did try to use these to curl my fringe slightly, but when it comes to things like this I'm a complete novice so it didn't work out too well. I can say though that they work pretty efficiently I used a bit of heat for about a minute and then left the roller in till I was finished getting ready and removed it. There was a definite curl but because I seemed to have rolled it wrong it wasn't the prettiest of curls. For me it's a definitely a work in progress.
Retail Price: $4/£4.77
Rate N/A

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'd have to say my favourite products from the May box have to be the Dr. Duo Notopharm Moisture Cream and the Milky Dress Barbie Make Auto Gel Liner, these are my regular use products from this box. I have no June box as there was an error and my box's were stopped because of my bank card but everything is back up and running and I will be receiving the July box.

See you soon!

MISHISBOX: April Unboxing & Review

It's time to finally get stuck into my MISHIBOX for the month of April.

 First up we have a WANGSKIN WHITE FLOWER MASK PACK, this mask pack contains extracts from a variety of flowers, herbs and plants to visibly improve skin texture. Chamomile Flower Extract decreases inflammation, Edelweiss Plant Extract calms and protects sensitive skin. Lily Extract revitalises skin and Snow Lotus Flower Extract helps purify skin.

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

 This sheet mask smells absolutely gorgeous and is pretty easy to apply. Personally for me there was a little too much essence on the mask and I could feel it running down my nose, making my nose itch. Once removed my skin was left feeling soft, smooth and moisturised as well as my skin looking brighter.

Retail Price: $3

Rate 5/5

 Next we have a SKIN79 SEOUL GIRL'S BEAUTY SECRET MASK, the packaging for these sheet masks feature images from famous areas in Seoul, including Namsan Tower - Brightening Care, 63 Building - Vital Care, Bukchon Village - Moisturising, Han River - Soothing Care, and Kyungbok Palace - Wrinkle Care.

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 Vital Care mask and it smelt really nice and was easy to apply. It fitted to my face shape pretty well and left my skin feeling soft, smooth and moisturised, although my skin was also left feeling a little itchy where the edges of the mask had been and dried. I love the packaging, it's really cute and a lovely way for a newbie to get to know of famous places in Seoul.

Pictures used for the White Flower Mask Pack may be for this mask sheet, I'm missing pictures and not sure which mask they were for.

Retail Price: $3

Rate 5/5

 Next we have DAENG GI MEO RI'S KI GOLD SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER, a little Korean and history lesson, Daeng Gi Meo Ri is a Korean word that refers to the braided hairstyle worn by young boys and girls back in the Chosun Dynasty.

The shampoo and conditioner helps you achieve shiny, luscious locks by decreasing hair loss and improving scalp and hair health. It contains 33% herbal ingredients, including Green Tea for it's antioxidant benefits and Sweetflag Plant, which has been used historically to improve hair texture.

How To Use - Apply shampoo to wet hair and work into a lather and rinse thoroughly. Apply conditioner, let sit for 3-5 minutes, then rinse. Use up to once a day.

 I thought they both had a herbal smell, which I did think smelt nice, the scent reminds me of something too but I can't out my finger on what it reminds me of. Even while still wet my hair was feeling soft and silky, once I got it brushed through, which I did find a little tough and never really have a problem with. Once dried my hair felt soft and silky and had a lovely shine to it. We got the travel size of these products, which I think is perfect to get a feel of what they are both like, I have used them both with every hair wash and I do like how my hair feels and look after but I will be returning to my previous shampoo just because I don't know if this would strip the colour from my hair once it's been dyed again.

Retail Price: $7 each

Rate 5/5

Next we have a VT COSMETICS CICA CAPSULE MASK, this is a wash-off cream type mask that is meant to be good at removing sebum, dirt and debris, it's part of the Cica Care line which decreases redness and inflammation. The smooth green clay is not meant to dry out your skin, and the patented Cicaliao ingredient improves skin health by strengthening your skin's natural barrier.

How To Use - After cleansing, apply an adequate amount onto skin, avoiding eyes and lips. Let dry for 10-15 minutes, then rinse with water and pat dry. Follow up with your regular skincare routine. Use up to twice a week.

 This clay mask smells really nice and it's really quick and easy to apply, even if it is a little messy if applying with your fingers, there is just the right amount of product in the packaging to give a nice even layer over all your face. I left the mask on for 15 minutes and once removed my skin felt soft and smooth, as well as looking and feeling deep cleansed. I did suffer from a little redness but I'm blaming that on how I removed the mask (I always use a damp flannel with these types of masks). Overall a really good mask.

Retail Price: $4

Rate 5/5

 Lastly we have HALF MOON EYES MILKY JELLY TONING ESSENCE, this is a 3-in-1 toner, booster and essence all in one. It refines, balances and hydrates skin, and is great on all skin types. The white powder that settles at the bottom of the bottle is Silica Powder, which helps control sebum and smooths skin to improve texture. It also contains Tea Tree Leaf Water which helps decrease inflammation and redness.

How To Use - After cleansing, pat skin dry. Shake bottle well. Apply an adequate amount onto cotton pad and gently wipe skin. Then pat skin using using clean fingers to help increase absorption. Use once daily in the morning.

 I love the smell of this toning essence, it smells gorgeous and I love the thickness of the cotton pads. After using this product my skin was left feeling soft, smooth and hydrated as well as looking brighter also my skin was left feeling and looking like I had deep cleaned my skin. I am definitely continuing to use this toning essence as I love how it makes my skin feel and it's the perfect skin pick me up first thing in the morning.

Retail Price: $25/£11.84

For the first time in a while I was a little disappointed with this box, mainly because three of the products were some sort of face mask. The upside of the box was that the products were really good and I enjoyed using them especially the VT Cosmetics Cica Capsule Mask and the Half Moon Eyes Milky Jelly Toning Essence, I loved how they both left my skin feeling and looking.

See you soon!
