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!

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

 First up we have a BEYOND HERB GARDEN MASK, these masks are said to be a delight to the senses with their subtle fragrance, while moisturising skin. There are different varieties available, which are: Peony, Calendula, Hibiscus, Rosehip, Black Tea and Tea Tree.

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 got the Calendula mask, I thought it smelt nice but isn't really a scent I would personally pick to have in a mask. The mask was pretty thin and was a little fiddly to pull apart, I nearly tore it a few times trying to do so. It applied onto my face pretty easy and it had my skin feeling cold while on, which was nice. After removing it my skin was left feeling soft and moisturised, which I think overpowers the scent.

Retail Price $2.50/£1.96

Rate 3.5/5

 Next we have a PETITFEE DRY ESSENCE HAND PACK, this hand pack softens and moisturises hands with a "dry" essence, the conditioning agent is built into the gloves. It's perfect for those with dry hands that don't like using hand lotions often. You can even use your smart phone while wearing the gloves.

 These hand packs are easy to wear and left my hands feeling soft, moisturised and smelling nice.

Retail Price: $4/£3.14

Rate 5/5

 Next up we have a DAYCELL LIP BALM, these lip balms contain 35%naturally derived moisturising ingredients to keep your lips soft at all times. They use Sunflower Hybrid Oil, full of Omega 9 Fatty Acids, the Rose Lip Balm contains Rose Water, Rosehip Fruit, Shea Butter and Beeswax to revitalise dull lips, while the Honey Lip Balm contains Royal Jelly, Beeswax, Turmeric Extract and Shea Butter to moisturise dry lips.

How To Use - Apply a thin layer onto clean lips as often as desired.

I got the Rose lip balm, which at the moment on the MISHIBOX site is sold out, it smells really nice and left my lips feeling soft and moisturised.

Retail Price: $7/£5.49

Rate 5/5

 Next we have a MISSHA SOS CORRECT MASK, these masks are available in 5 different varieties with 5 different main benefits, redness - AC, dull skin - Dark, Sebum/dirt - Dirty, dryness - Dry, and rough textures - Peel. You can use one mask at a time or use them all at once on different problem areas.

How To Use - Spread a thin layer onto clean, dry skin. Let dry for 5-10 minutes, then rinse with warm water. Follow up with a cream/moisturiser as needed.

I got the redness - AC clay mask, I applied it to my cheeks, nose and chin as they are the places I suffer more with redness. The mask smells nice, it wasn't too thick and was quick and easy to apply a thin layer onto my problem areas. It was cooling on my face while it was on and once it was all removed, my skin was left feeling soft and smooth.

Retail Price: $10/£7.84

Rate 5/5

 Lastly we have a COSMETEA TEA CLEANSER, Cosmetea is a new brand to come to MISHIBOX, their Tea Cleanser combines tea water, botanical extracts and botanical oil for effective, convenient cleansing. Tea Cleanser is a balm-type stick cleanser which melts into oil, then foams into a lather to remove make-up, dirt and debris all in one step. The Moisture Care cleanser uses Black Tea and Omija aka Schizandra berries. The Dust Out cleanser combines White Tea and Lemon, while the Pore Care cleanser uses Green Tea and Mint.

How To Use - Roll up about 0.5 cm of product. In a circling motion, apply the product onto your dry face for 1-2 minutes. Use wet hands to massage the product into a lather, then rinse thoroughly with warm water. Use a tissue to wipe the top of the cleanser to keep it clean.

 I got the Dust Out Green Tea and Lemon cleanser, I was a bit sceptical about this cleanser, that it wouldn't remove much of my make-up, but it moved pretty much all of my make up, apart from a tiny bit of lipstick and a bit of mascara. It smelt gorgeous and left my skin feeling soft and clean, It helps you to use the perfect amount of cleanser, it's my new favourite beauty product.

Retail Price: $21/£16.47

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.

November's MISHIBOX was another great box of Korean beauty products, I have to say my favourites have to be the Tea Cleanser and the SOS Correct Mask, they were perfect for my skin and I would highly recommend both of them. I can't wait for my December box which will be my 3 year anniversary with MISHIBOX.

See you soon!

MISHIBOX: July Unboxing & Review

Hello

A bit of a delay but lets get stuck into July's MISHIBOX goodies.

First up we have a MISSHA AIRY FIT SHEET MASK, this mask is 50% lighter than a conventional sheet mask, allowing them to stick to your face "like mochi", to deliver superior moisture and nutrition. There are 6 different varieties, which are Aloe, Lemon, Cucumber, Green Tea, Tea Tree and Pomegranate, they are all chosen for their refreshing hydrating properties.
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 Tea Tree mask, and the mask was saturated in essence and kept dripping onto my neck and chest, which is not something I like with a face mask. The mask did smell nice and was really cooling on my face. My skin was left feeling soft and smooth, as well as feeling refreshed and hydrated.
Retail Price: $2/£1.55
Rate 3/5

 Next up we have a CHAMOS MOISTURE ELASTIC W-LINE BREAST PACK, this pack is a hydrogel mask designed to moisturise and plump up the skin, using ingredients such as Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Collagen and Snail Secretion Filtrate.
How To Use - Place patch onto clean, dry skin. Leave on for 10-20 minutes, then remove. Pat any remaining essence to increase absorption.

I was surprised to see this in our July box, as I wasn't even aware that there mask packs for your boobs. I actually followed the instructions on the back of the packet, rather than on the info card, which says to apply for at least 1 hour, and that they have good sticking force so can also be worn while sleeping. I slept in mine and I was a little skepical about their sticking force when I first applied them as they seemed to peel off the skin, but they never moved and stayed in place through the night. My skin was left feeling soft and moisturised, I am tempted to buy more of these as the back of the packaging states that it needs to be used on a regular basis for the mask to make any decent affect.
Retail Price: $3/£2.33
Rate 3.5/5

 Next up we have out spotlight product, HEALAVIE SOFT COVER WATER DROP SUN GEL, this sunscreen is a soft, watery sunscreen that absorbs into the skin quickly to provide protection from even the brightest of days. The sunscreen has a light, refreshing texture with a minimal white cast, and protects with an impressive SPF 50+ PA+++ rating for both UVA and UVB rays. This sunscreen lightly moisturises your skin and finishes with a sheer powdery texture which minimises shine throughout the day. It's feathery consistency also allows you to reapply over makeup.
How To Use - Dispense an adequate amount and apply onto all exposed parts of your skin. Reapply as needed or every 2 hours for complete protection.

It does what it says on the tin, I applied it before applying my makeup for a retirement party, and I'm glad I did as we were sat in the beer garden for most of the evening, and it was really warm and sunny. My skin felt soft and moisturised the whole time, because I was out and was scared about how it would reapply over my make up I didn't want to risk taking it with me to reapply.
Retail Price: $21/£16.28
Rate 4/5

 Next we have a CHOONEE WATER LIP TINT BALM, this product is a bright, refreshing lip tint/balm hybrid that's perfect for the summer. It's "aqua capture system" contains Shea Butter, Grape Seed Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, and Jojoba Oil to lock in moisture, keeping your lips soft and smooth all day. It's high pigmentation combined with sheer coverage allows you to layer on colour for the perfect look. It's available in 5 varieties which are, Cherry, Peach, Grapefruit, Raspberry and Guava.
How To Use - Apply onto clean lips as often as desired.

I got the Peach lip tint/balm, it applies really nice and smooth, my lips felt soft and moisturised, and the colour last really well, I didn't have to reapply and still had the colour on my lips when I came to removing it. I would love all the other varieties so I can try them out, and really recommend it if you're wanting a more natural lip colour. I think this is perfect all year round too especially in the winter when you lips start to dry out with the cold.
Retail Price: $10/£7.74
Rate 5/5

Lastly we have a HOLIKA HOLIKA ALOE 99% SOOTHING GEL, this product is said to be a summer staple for all K-beauty lovers. The soothing gel contains 99% Aloe Vera Leaf Gel harvested from Jeju Island, and is perfect for lightweight moisture and soothing irritation.
How To Use - Apply to clean skin. Dab onto mosquito bites to reduce inflammation, apply onto sunburned areas, or use as a moisturiser on the face, neck and body.

I thought that this smelt really nice, it had a really nice cooling affect on my skin. It left my skin feeling really supple, it's perfect too for hot summer days.

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.

People may think I wasn't too impressed with July's MISHIBOX because I rarely rated anything really high, but that's mainly because I think some of the items need to be used a little more before they can be fully rated, like the breast pack for example. I think though that my favourite product has to be the Choonee Water Lip Tint Balm, it's pretty long lasting and keeps your lips moisturised.

See you soon!
