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.

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

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!

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

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.

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!
