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

 First up we have a NATURE REPUBLIC REAL NATURE MASK SHEET, this sheet mask is made from a 3-layer cellulose sheet mask, which moisturises your skin for longer. There are different varieties which are: Green Tea which is moisturising, Aloe which is moisturising and calming, Rose which is moisturising and revitalising, Avocado which is nourishing, Cucumber which is moisturising, Bamboo which is clarifying, Royal Jelly which is elasticity, Shea Butter which is nourishing, Acai Berry which is elasticity, Tomato which is brightening, Tea Tree which is for pore care, Orange which is clarifying, Chamomile which is calming and Olive which is nourishing.
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 Acai Berry sheet mask which is for elasticity. I liked that instead of a watery consistency, the essence was a cream and it smelt gorgeous. The mask was pretty much a perfect size and shape for my face shape. The mask left my skin feeling soft, moisturised and plump, on the downside the mask left a tacky residue, leaving my skin feeling a little oily. This mask would have been perfect for me if it hadn't left my skin feeling oily.
Retail Price: $2/£1.55
Rate 4/5

Next we have a MEDIHEAL PARAFFIN FOOT MASK, this foot mask are booties that you can slip onto your feet in the day or at night, they soften and moisturise dry, cracked skin using a highly concentrated, deeply emollient formula of paraffin and urea.
How To Use - Wash your feet with warm water and towel dry. Secure one mask per foot using the attached tape and leave on for 15-20 minutes. Remove masks and massage any remaining essence into skin.

The foot mask has a menthol smell, which is to be expected with anything to do with feet. The booties were really cold when I first placed my feet in them, however my feet were left feeling soft, moisturised and refreshed. I would happily use this foot mask again when my feet need a pick me up.
Retail Price: $3.50/£2.71
Rate 5/5

 Next we have SKINEYE NATURAL SEA BUCKTHORN FRUIT OIL 100, first things first Sea Buckthorn Fruit is a type of berry that contains naturally high amounts of Omega-7 fatty acids, as well as antioxidants and vitamins, such as vitamin E and vitamin C. As an oil, it's naturally moisturising, while the antioxidants and vitamins fight wrinkles, prevent acne and heal scars or tissue damage. The Natural Sea Buckthorn Fruit oil 100 is a 100% oil with no added preservatives or ingredients.
How To Use - Mix 1-2 drops into your moisturiser and apply this mixture to your face and/or neck.

I mixed this oil with my Nivea day cream and it helped it leaving my skin feeling soft and smooth, I only needed to add 1 drop. My skin was left looking brighter and clearer.
Retail Price: $32/£24.74
Rate 5/5

 Next we have SKINEYE NATURAL CAMELLIA SERUM, this serum is a lightweight serum that moisturises your skin from the inside out. It's full of beneficial ingredients such as Camellia Flower Water, Sunflower Oil, Argan Kernel Oil, Bergamot Peel Oil and Damask Rose Flower Oil. It moisturises and protects your skin and helps improve elasticity and texture. It's suitable for all skin types and is great for layering with different skincare products.
How To Use - After cleansing and toning, apply an adequate amount onto skin. Use up to twice a day.

This serum has a really nice floral scent and reminds me of products my nannan used to use. The serum has a water like consistency and absorbs quickly into my skin. It left my skin feeling soft and smooth as well as looking refreshed, clearer and brighter. I'd highly recommend this serum to anyone and everyone.
Retail Price: $29/£22.42
Rate 5/5

Lastly we have a THE SAEM SAEMMUL PERFECT MASCARA, this mascara makes your lashes full, long, soft and fluttery, while lasting for hours without smudging. Available in Volume and Curling.
How To Use - Use wand to apply onto lashes. Repeat as needed. Remove using makeup remover.

I seem to have gotten the Volume mascara but the wand seems to be for the Curling mascara as it's curved but overall it does what it's meant to do. It applies easily and covers my lashes really well, it was long lasting and lasted all day till I removed it. I thought it made my eyes look bigger and more open. It's my new favourite mascara.
Retail Price: $5/£3.87
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.

I was pretty satisfied with the January MISHIBOX, I rated everything pretty high as all the products worked really well for my skin, I'd happily re buy all 5 of these products, my favourite though has to be the mascara, it's a high quality mascara with a pocket friendly price tag, I wish I could find this in my local supermarket or beauty store. Another 5 stars for the January MISHIBOX and I can't wait for my February box to arrive.

See you soon!

It's time to get stuck into June's MISHIBOX goodies.

First up we have a DAYCELL DR. VITA VITAMIN MASK, these masks use specific vitamins to improve your skin. Vitamin B helps to calm and soothe skin, while Vitamin E helps to moisturise and rebuild your skin's natural barrier. The cotton tencel sheet masks adhere closely to your skin to deliver nutrients effectively.
How To Use - After cleansing and toning, place the sheet mask onto your face for 15-20 minutes. Pat any remaining essence to improve absorption.

I got the Vitamin B mask which was said to be calming, I thought this mask fit my face pretty well, I still seem to struggle to get a smooth finish with a sheet mask but, the few creases showed me that it was a pretty good fit for my face shape. 
There was a lot of essence on the mask which made me worry that it would drip down my neck and onto my clothes while I had it on, but  thankfully that didn't happen which is a bonus. 
I thought this sheet mask felt really cooling on my skin which is always a bonus if your skin is feeling irritated, the mask also left my skin feeling soft and supple. 
I really liked this mask.
Retail Price: $4/£3.04
Rate 5/5

 Next we have HALF MOON EYES NAIL.ME WATER DECAL NAIL STICKERS, these water decal nail stickers are available in 5 different designs.
How To use - Apply a base coat onto your nails and let it dry. Cut out the desired decal, soak in for water for 10-20 seconds. Using tweezers, remove the bottom paper and affix the decal onto the nail. Seal with a top coat.

It's very rare that have my nails painted and I'm not the patient type to paint or do nail art on my nails, but I do like the idea of these so maybe when I have some time off work I'll do something with my nails. Retail Price: $5/£3.79
Rate N/A

Next up we have a FLABOIS MILK BOMB/MINT BOMB, these little bombs are a wash-off hair treatment pack, designed for a single use. The mint bomb is designed for those with thin hair, and provides refreshing, lightweight conditioning. The milk bomb is designed for those with normal/thick hair, or even dyed hair, providing nutrition and locking in moisture.
How To Use - After shampooing, apply adequate amount onto your hair, focusing on damaged areas. Let sit for 10 minutes, then rinse off with water.

I absolutely loved this hair mask, I got the milk bomb which was ideal for those with normal/thick and dyed hair. As you can see my hair is dyed so I was happy and felt lucky that I got the milk bomb in my box. It smells gorgeous and reminded me of coconut, as my hair grows and is getting ready for a trip to the hairdressers again, the ends of my hair can become dry and brittle, the milk bomb left my hair feeling soft and silky as well as feeling nourished, even the ends of my hair felt soft, silky and nourished, I thought my hair looked really healthy too. I definitely think I will be re buying this so I can use it a least once a month to revitalise my hair. Retail Price: $2.50
Rate 5/5

 Next up we have a SKINEYE AC PURE SERUM, this serum is an ultra-lightweight serum that helps to control sebum production and lightly hydrates skin. it contains that patented ingredient combination of Artemisia Annua Extract, Pine Needle Extract and Citron Extract, which helps decrease inflammation and acne. The serum is also meant to be especially helpful in decreasing clogged pores and pimples.
How To Use - After cleansing and toning your skin, apply a few drops of the serum onto your face using the dropper, and spread lightly with your fingertips. Follow up with your moisturiser as needed. Use up to twice a day.

The serum absorbs pretty quickly and you don't use too much with the dropper, meaning you don't overuse and end up with greasy feeling skin.
My nose can get quite oily and this serum helped quite a lot with that after just one use.
The serum applied just like water, meaning my hands weren't left feeling greasy and horrible.
I think this is a product that needs prolonged and regular use for the effects of this this serum to be beneficial to the skin in the long run, but I have high hopes for this product.
Retail Price: $18/£13.66
Rate 5/5

Lastly we have our spotlight product PURITO DEFENCE BARRIER PH CLEANSER, this cleanser is a gentle, low pH gel cleanser, which is suitable for everyday use to effectively remove make-up, sebum, dirt and debris from your skin. This cleanser does not dry out your skin and leaves it feeling soft and refreshed. The low pH in the cleanser means that it won't strip your skin of it's natural barrier to maintain a healthy balance. The cleanser contains Tea Tree Leaf Oil and Centella Asiatica Extract to soothe skin, as well as Hydrolyzed Collagen and Royal Jelly Extracts which help with skin elasticity.
How To Use - Dispense and adequate amount onto your hands and lather to create a foam. Use to wash your face and neck. Rinse thoroughly with water and pat dry. Use up to twice a day.

I wasn't too fussed by the smell of the cleanser but it did an extremely good job of removing my make-up, the only thing it seemed to struggle with was my lipstick, as you can see the colour has slightly faded but wasn't removed. The cleanser even removed my waterproof mascara.
My skin was left feeling soft as well as looking and feeling refreshed and clean, I always think a really good cleanser leaves your skin feeling and looking like it's had a deep clean.
I'd definitely recommend this cleanser for other people to try, I now have a line of cleansers in my bathroom window and this one is at the front.
Retail Price: $14/£9.86

I was left feeling really happy with my June MISHIBOX, my main favourite products from the box were the AC Pure Serum, the Defence Barrier pH Cleanser and the Milk Bomb as I felt they really benefited my hair and skin the most. They are all also the main products I would buy to continue using in the future.

Hello

It's time to get stuck into March's MISHIBOX goodies.

 First up we have a MIZON JOYFUL TIME ESSENCE MASK, this mask utilises a moisture gel matrix, which holds moisturising ingredients as well as skin conditioning ingredients together in a hydrating mesh structure to immediately increase skin moisture upon application. Varieties include Acerola, Aqua, Green Tea, olive, Snail, Bamboo, Vitamin, Pomegranate, Herb, Acia Berry and Hyaluronic Acid.
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 Vitamin mask and this mask does smell nice and it fit pretty well to the shape of my face. My skin did feel a little itchy while the mask was on but I'm putting that down to the mask starting to dry while on. My skin was left feeling moisturised as well as soft and smooth, a pretty good face mask.
Retail Price: $2/£1.40
Rate 5/5

 Next we have a J.ONE JELLY PACK LUMINOUS MASK, J.One is a premium skincare company launched by Ha Ji Won, a top Korean actress known for her beautiful skin. This Jelly Pack Luminous Mask is a 2 step ampoule mask that clarifies skin and increases moisture and elasticity.
How To Use - After cleansing and toning, place step 1 sheet mask onto face for 10-20 minutes. Remove sheet mask, then apply step 2 Jelly Pack onto face and neck.

This mask smells gorgeous and after the mask my skin was left feeling smooth, soft and slightly greasy. The jelly pack made my skin feel sticky but thankfully it absorbed into my skin rather quickly but overall I wasn't a fan of the jelly pack.
Retail Price: $6/£4.21
Rate 3/5

 Next we have a L'ADOR KERATIN POWER FILL UP SLEEPING CLINIC AMPOULE, this ampoule works it's magic overnight to infuse damaged hair with keratin, so you can wake up to soft and smooth hair.
How To Use - After washing hair, towel dry. Apply the hair ampoule onto damp hair and work through with fingers or a comb.

 You only need a small amount, you may need more if your hair is longer but I only needed to use a small amount. I used both my fingers and a brush to comb it through my hair and it was pretty easy and smooth to comb through. My hair felt pretty soft straight away after blow-drying, and my hair also felt soft, smooth and silky the next morning. I use this now every time I wash my hair and it leaves it feeling soft and silky for a few days. I think it's an amazing price for this product as I've used more expensive products on my hair and didn't get the results I did with this.
Retail Price: $4/£2.81
Rate 5/5

Next we have a PRRETI BANBAN WATER BARRIER CREAM, this cream contains mineral-rich ocean water and sodium hyaluronate to lightly moisturise skin. This cooling cream is perfect to use on the more oily parts of the face, such as forehead and nose.
How To Use - After cleansing and toning, spread an adequate amount onto face and neck.

This cream smells really nice and it applies and absorbs into the skin really quickly, leaving my skin feeling soft, smooth and most of all feeling moisturised.
Retail Price: $7/£4.91
Rate 5/5

 Next we have a PRRETI HONEY & BERRY LIP SLEEPING MASK, this lip mask takes care of dry, chapped lips using ingredients such as Macadamia Seed Oil, Strawberry Extract and Beeswax. All you have to do is apply at night and wake up with smooth lips.
How To Use - Apply an even layer onto clean lips before going to bed.

I was pretty skeptical about this product, I was fully expecting to wake up with fluff and hairs attached to my lips but I was pleasantly surprised. It smelt really nice, throughout the night my lips remained feeling glossy and silky, on morning inspection my lips looked and felt soft an moisturised and remained that way for a few days after application. If you suffer from dry and chapped lips, I'd really recommend giving this a try, my lips have felt better for it and it's not as time consuming as having to constantly having to reapply Vaseline etc to your lips throughout the day to keep them moisturised.
Retail Price: $7/£4.91
Rate 5/5

Lastly we have out spotlight product SKINEYE NATURAL CAMELLIA JAPONICA SEED OIL 100, SKINEYE is a brand that focuses on using natural ingredients to develop cosmetics that are as effective as pharmaceuticals. They are cruelty free, and their products have completed safety testings through a third party. This oil does not contain any preservatives or artificial fragrances. SKINEYE uses a fermentation technology to develop this oil to increase efficacy.
How To Use - 1 add 1-2 drops into your moisturiser or foundation for added glow. 
2 Dab directly onto face for an extra emollient boost. 
3 Work into dam. towel dried hair to decrease frizz. 
4 Apply to heels, elbows and cuticles to smooth and moisturise. 
5 At the last stage of cleansing, add a few drops into water, this will help keep your skin hydrated for longer.

I used this on my elbows and cuticles, I suffer pretty badly with dry and sore elbows and this oil really helped to make my elbows feel soft, smooth and moisturised. I will continue to use this oil for the foreseeable future as my regular beauty regime on my elbows and hopefully my dry sore elbows will be abolished.
Retail Price: $29/£20.36
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 have to say that I pretty much loved this box, I now use a majority of the products from this box on a regular basis and as part of my regular beauty regime. My April box has arrived and I can't wait to start trying out the products we've received.

See you soon!
