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!

MISHIBOX: September Unboxing & Review

Hello

안녕하세요

Lets get started with Septembers MISHIBOX.

First up we have a FASCY AQUA COLLAGEN MASK, these masks contain niacinamide to brighten skin, betaine, adenosine and sodium hyaluronate to help increase elasticity. There are 4 different designs on each packaging.
How To Use - After cleansing and toning, remove mask from packaging and place sheet mask onto face for 15-20 minutes. Pat any remaining essence onto face to increase absorption. Use up to 3 times a week.

I love trying all the different face masks we get each month, like pretty much all the masks I've tried through MISHIBOX this mask smelt really nice and while it was easy to apply, I had to fold over the mask at the edges which caused it to overlap quite a bit because for my face shape the mask was too big for my face. For me personally there was too much essence on the mask, meaning that while I was wearing the mask the essence was dripping off onto my neck and chest. I kept the mask on for the full 20 minutes and even after removing after 20 minutes there was still a lot of essence remaining on my skin, after patting the remaining essence my skin felt slightly greasy and sticky, which thankfully didn't remain leaving my skin finally feeling soft, smooth and hydrated.
Retail Price: $3
Rate 3/5

 Next we have a ELIZAVECCA GOGGLES EYE LOCK-IN AQUA MASK, this mask rejuvenates the skin around the eyes, using ingredients such as donkey milk and coconut milk. The mask also contains ingredients such as niacinamide, glycerin and collagen to increase elasticity and hydrate skin.
How To Use - After cleansing and toning, peel off the white outer layer and place mask around the yes like goggles for 15-20 minutes. Pat any remaining essence onto the skin to increase absorption.

 I found getting this mask out of the packaging and unfolding it quite fiddly, after that it was really easy to apply to my face and it left my skin feeling soft, smooth and moisturised. I really liked this mask and would use it again.
Retail Price: $3/£2.27
Rate 4/5

 Next up is a FASCY POCKET MIRROR, this pocket mirror is our spotlight item for the September box, FASCY's products range from cosmetics to accessories including wallets, mirrors and make-up brushes. FASCY is a brand that focuses on cute, individualistic characters to express a unique personality and aesthetic in all of their products. These pocket mirror come in 4 different designs which are: Bubble Tina, Wave Tina, Balloon Tina and Sunglass Tina.
How To Use - It's a simple as keeping it in your bag, purse or pocket and using it to check your appearance while on the go.

I love this pocket mirror and I love the designs that FASCY use for the their products, I got Sunglass Tina. It makes a really nice change to get an accessory instead of all the items being cosmetics as beauty products don't just mean make-up or skin care.
Retail Price: $6/£4.53
Rate 5/5

Next we have a MAKEON SUPER LONG LASTING WATERPROOF GEL PENCIL EYELINER, these eyeliners are available in 11 different colours: Black, Pearl Black, Brown, Burgundy, Gold, Beige, Purple, Deep Blue, Khaki, Peach and Choco.
How To Use - Apply onto eyelids to create your perfect make-up look.

 I received the brown eyeliner and after being told that browns can make blue eyes pop that bit more, I gave it a go. I normally use black liners and often and always have flicks when I wear eyeliner but thought I try out something different and have been using that look as my normal work make-up look. The pencil applies really quickly and smoothly, which I can sometimes have to go over with other liners to smooth it out, the colour is also really pretty and like it's name it was long lasting and lasted all day. I'm interested in trying the other colours that i like to see what other looks I can make.
Retail Price: $10/£7.55
Rate 5/5

Next we have D'RAN NEW WONDER TEA TREE SPOT GEL, this spot gel gives you clear, moisturised skin by protecting it from external irritants and stimulation. Tea Tree Oil reduces inflammation and White Willow Bark extract helps control excessive sebum production.
How To Use - After cleansing affected area, dab a small amount directly onto the blemishes.

This spot gel smells really nice, it's not rocket science to apply and is really easy and quick to do so. The spot I applied it to was really red and sore when before applying and within a couple of minutes that spot calmed down and wasn't as sore, within 48 hours the spot had reduced to the point it was almost gone, I'd definitely recommend this product for people that do suffer from spots.
Retail Price: $15/£11.33
Rate 5/5

Lastly we have PUREDERM SOFT & MILD EYE MAKE-UP REMOVER PADS, these pads say they effectively remove eye make-up, even waterproof mascara, without irritating your skin. They are free of parabens and oils.
How To Use - Use a single pad to gently wipe off eye make-up. For more stubborn make-up, let pad soak on affected area for 10-15 seconds before wiping off. Make sure to reseal the package to prevent from drying out.

 If you can tell from the pictures above, one eye has had the make-up removed to compare how it removes. The pads smell really nice and there is an adequate amount of the remover on the wipes and like it states it removed all eye make-up including waterproof mascara as well as the waterproof gel liner that I was also wearing. I used 2 wipes which was 1 wipe per eye and it did it's job quickly and effectively, without leaving my eyes feeling sore from the constant rubbing trying to remove the make-up. I definitely think I will be making a purchase of these wipes as they are fast working and soothe my eyes while removing the make-up.
Retail Price: $6/£4.53
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 pretty much loved Septembers MISHIBOX but I do often feel guilty if I'm not a fan of some products because I feel that what I think could deter people from buying and trying products, just remember what doesn't work for me or my skin, might work for yours and what I say about the products is down to my opinion and how it makes my skin feel, for example having water(hair getting washed and rinsed and hairdressers) or products drip on me while I'm dry and dressed, makes me feel uncomfortable, hence why I prefer a face mask that isn't doused in essence. Overall another great box from MISHIBOX, we've had an email giving us a spoiler for one of the products for the October box, giving a choice of which of the 2 products we'd like to receive in the next box. I can't wait for my next box.

See you soon!

MISHIBOX: March Unboxing & Review

Hello

An nyeoung

Konnichiwa

Guess what? it's time for another unboxing and review this time for my March MISHIBOX, I really enjoy receiving these boxes and most importantly I love trying out all the products, I've found new products to use in these past 4 months and I look forward to finding more. Lets see what I got in my March MISHIBOX.

This months products were hidden underneath green tissue paper connected with the usual MISHIBOX sticker.

The same helpful info card, with all the details of the products within this box.

First up in the we have Velieve Girlish Mask, this mask was sent in each box at random as it's available in 4 different options: Aloe is great for moisturising and calming skin that has become sensitive and irritated from external conditions, Honey moisture is great for moisturising and nourishing dull and dry skin into moist and dewy skin, Collagen lifting is great for improving skin elasticity, pore care and moisturization and Vita shining is formulated with vitamin c for brightening uneven skin tone.

How To Use - After your cleanser and toner, place the mask onto your face for 15-20 minutes. After removing the mask gently pat any remaining essence into your skin.

I got the Aloe Soothing mask and I loved the smell of it and after using it my skin did feel moisturised but even after the essence was absorbed it left my skin feeling slightly tacky, which I wasn't really too fond of.
Retail Price: $2/£1.40
Rate 3/5

Next we have the Tony Moly Panda's Dream Eye Patch, this product is formulated with bamboo water extracts, aloe vera, niacinamide and vitamin c. The eye patches are anti-ageing, hydrating and brightens up dull and dry skin around the eyes. The info card says that they are great for anyone with severe dark circles under the eyes and anyone with dry and finely wrinkled skin around the eyes.
How To Use - After your cleanser and toner, remove the patch from the packaging and peel off the clear liner. Place over your eyes for 20 minutes. If necessary you can fold over the flaps on the eye patches to create openings for your eyes.

My favourite animal is a panda and I love that these patches are black giving the illusion of panda eyes, these patches left my eyes feeling refreshed and skin around my eyes feeling moisturised and softer. I will definitely be using these again, they have been added to my list of MISHIBOX products that I want to keep using.
Retail Price: $3/£2.10
Rate 5/5

Next we have Puerderm Ultra Repair Foot Mask(Apricot), this sick-type foot mask repairs rough and dry feet with highly emollient shea butter, apricot and other natural healing ingredients. This foot mask noticeably smoothes, softens and repairs dry, cracked, calloused feet and heels to improve the look and feel of even the driest feet.
How To Use - Wash your feet with warm water. Open the packet and wear the foot masks. After 20-30 minutes, remove the foot masks. You do not need to wash your feet again. Be careful if you walk around with the foot masks as they may be slippery.

I've said before that I can suffer with dry skin on my feet which can lead to my heels feeling sore but since I used the exfoliating foot mask in a past box my feet have been better and this foot mask has helped more, instead of soaking the feet in a liquid, with this foot mask your leaving you feet in a mask that is moisturiser. My feet felt extremely soft after the removal of the socks and I definitely prefer this foot mask to the last one.
Retail Price: $6/£4.21
Rate 5/5

Next we have Lador Perfect Fill-Up Hair Ampoule, it says that this product is a highly concentrated hair ampoule that is a powerfully effective way to repair damaged hair while also nourishing and moisturising it. It's formulated with enriched protein, ceramide, collagen and amino acids. It says it makes your hair more elastic, silky and healthy and it's great for damaged hair.
How To Use - In a clean bowl, mix the ampoule with approximately 10ml of water in a 1:1 ratio. Stir until the mixture becomes thick and creamy. Apply the mixture all over your hair and then pin up your hair. Cover your hair with the included  plastic hair cap. Leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse your hair with warm water (without shampoo), and then style your hair as desired.

I have days where my hair can feel dry and damaged and I do try to look after my hair as I do have my hair bleached blonde with a pink dye at the front. I've come along way from how damaged my hair used to be from dyeing it so I don't want to let it get back to that state again. I shampoo and condition my hair every few days, while also using a thicker conditioner 2-3 times a month, so when it comes to my hair I'm happy to try new products to keep my hair feeling soft, silky and healthy. The texture reminded me of wallpaper paste but with a better smell to it. It was really easy to apply and rinsed out pretty quickly. If I only shampoo my hair it can feel dry so I was nervous that it would leave my hair feeling dry and horrible but once dried it felt like I had washed my hair with both shampoo and conditioner. This is a product I will continue to use for keeping my hair healthy.
Retail Price: $4/£1.40
Rate 5/5

Next we have Velieve Fondue Foam Cleanser, it says these cleansers are great for washing away make-up and other impurities to leave your skin healthy and glowing. The cleansers come in two options: Rose contains actual rose flower petals, rose hip flower extract and other berry extracts to relax your face with aroma therapy and keep your skin radian and fresh. Green tea contains actual green tea leaves and other pure botanical herbal extracts. With the green tea's natural astringent effect, this cleanser is great for  soothing and cleansing your skin while helping it to appear brighter and flawless. They are great for all skin types.
How To Use - Wet your face with warm water, and then squeeze an appropriate amount of the cleanser onto your hand. Rub your hands to create a rich, foamy lather. Gently massage foam onto your face in circular motions and then rinse with warm water.

We were sent one of the cleansers at random and I got the Rose cleanser. I didn't have make-up on when I used this cleanser so I'm not to sure on how good it will remove the make-up that I use, but it's really easy to use. It smelt really nice and had a really creamy consistency, to me it looks similar to an exfoliator that I used to use but without all the grain when using it. It was really easy to wash off and didn't take too long till it was all removed. My skin did feel slightly tight after use but I'm thinking and hoping that's because it's a new product I'm trying, I'll continue to use it to see if there is a difference made.
Retail Price: $15/£10.54
Rate 4/5

Lastly we have D'ran Aqua Wonders Intensive Renewing Essence, it says this essence delivers the high absorption and moisturising powers of Alaska glacial milk to make the skin moist and comfortable, It's formulated with fermented soybean extract to help calm and nourish the skin and improve skin elasticity. The Alaska glacial milk contains abundant minerals that are quickly absorbed into the skin to improve moisture. It is also formulated with sea complex to give vitality to the skin and help make the skin clean and clear. It says this essence is great for smoothing the skin, brightening the skin tone and relieving dry and fatigued skin.
How To Use - After your cleanser and toner, take an appropriate amount of the essence and gently massage onto your skin. Gently pat your skin to help the essence absorb.

I was surprised when I pumped the essence out of the tube as I was expecting a cream, I've never used an essence before so this one is new to me. To be honest on first look I thought it looked like something else. It smells really good and has left my skin feeling soft and moisturised, it also left my skin feeling smooth. It absorbed so much quicker than my moisturiser, and I will continue to use this in place of my moisturiser to see if it makes my skin feel and look even better. I couldn't find the actual product on the MISHIBOX website but I did find something similar from the same company which was D'ram Aqua Wonder Intensive Renewing Serum, so I'm going to base the pricing on this item.
Retail Price: $34/£25.30
Rate 5/5

Now it's time to get down to the business side of the MISHIBOX, like most subscription services there are many options to choose from and MISHIBOX is no different. You can choose from the annual subscription box which is $239.40/£163.66 upfront so that means you can relax knowing a years worth of boxes have been paid for, a 12 month subscription box which is the same price as the above apart from this one only lasts 12 months, a 6 month subscription box which is $119.70/£81.83 and this finishes after 6 months, a 3 month subscription box which is $59.85/£40.92 which again finishes after 3 months and lastly a monthly subscription box which is $19.95/£13.64 and is a reoccurring payment each month, all boxes also have shipping fee's which even with the shipping fee the price of the box is worth it for what you get inside it. These boxes are extremely popular and sell out really fast so if you interested I would suggest being quick to avoid disappoint.

Like what you have seen in this post then head to the MISHIBOX website.

Another great box from MISHIBOX and as always I can't wait for the next one to land on my doorstep.

See you soon!
