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 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.

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!

MISHIBOX: August Unboxing & Review

Hello

안녕하세요 

(Annyeonghaseyo)

It's time to unbox Augusts MISHIBOX, lets check out the goodies shall we?

 First up we have a ESFOLIO PURE SKIN ESSENCE SHEET MASK, this mask comes in 10 varieties: Milk, Pearl, Green Tea, Honey, Collagen, Snail, Egg, Volcanic Ash, Red Ginseng and Aloe. Each of the masks are formulated with Chinese Quince Fruit Extract and Purslane Extract which helps to increase skin elasticity and moisturise your skin.

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

 I thought this mask smelt really nice and I thought that there was an adequate amount of essence on the mask, so that none of the product dripped off while wearing the mask. I really liked this mask, the mask had a really nice cooling feel and it left my skin feeling soft, smooth, tighter and moisturised. It also left my skin feeling deep cleaned and refreshed, I'd happily use this sheet mask again.

Retail Price: $2/£1.53

Rate 5/5

Next we have a WANGSKIN EYEBROW TATTOO PEN, this eyebrow tattoo pen is said to give you waterproof, long-lasting eyebrow make up without the pain or the expense of real eyebrow tattoos or microblading. This product is available in 2 shades: light brown and dark brown, to achieve your desired look. Light brown can be used for a natural appearance and dark brown for a more dramatic look.

How To Use - Cleanse and dry your face completely. Use the attached applicator brush to draw your desired brow shape. Let dry completely for at least 1 hour. Longer drying time will lead to more defined colour. Peel off the product slowly and gently from the edges. Colour will last for 3-7 days depending on your skin type and cleanser.

This is really easy and simple to apply, I was a little nervous about using this as I didn't want my eyebrows looking too dark. I left it on to dry for about 45 minutes but I would suggest if you do want a more dramatic brow look then leave the product on for longer than an hour. It was pretty easy and pain free to remove, but it did pull out a few eyebrow hairs in the process. My eyebrows look a lot fuller and they thankfully don't look too dark and dramatic but I can see a clear difference in the colour.

Retail Price: $15/£11.49

Rate 4.5/5

 Next up we have a ETTANG COOK PACK THE FRESH RUBBER MASK, this Cook Pack comes in 4 varieties: Red, White, Black and Yellow. The Red mask is moisturising, lifting and provides antioxidant effects. The White mask is conditioning and brightening. The Yellow mask is moisturising and exfoliating and the Black mask is revitalising and has antioxidant effects.

How To Use - Cleanse and dry face. Cut off the top part of the outer pouch and remove contents. Pour pats 1 and 2 into the empty outer pouch, and mix together using the included spatula. Spread the mixture onto your face and let it dry for 20-30 minutes. Carefully remove the rubber mask, and finish with your regular skincare routine.

 This mask was pretty easy and simple to make, but the packaging is a little small to be able to mix the mask properly. The mask does smell really nice, and was easy to apply, I ended up using my fingers to apply the mask as I was getting the desired application from the spatula. The mask felt really nice and cooling while I had it on my face, after removal my skin was left feeling cool, soft, smooth and moisturised.

Retail Price: $6/£4.59

Rate 4/5

Next we have a L'ADOR PERFECT HAIR FILL-UP AMPOULE, this hair ampoule is a highly concentrated hair ampoule that repairs damaged hair while nourishing and moisturising at the same time. It's formulated with enriched protein to smooth and strengthen your hair. Ceramide, Collagen and Amino Acids also improve the health of your hair. Use this ampoule to help prevent damage, or to repair existing damage from hair dyes and/or heat styling. It will leave your hair visibly smooth and silky.

How To Use - In a clean bowl, mix the ampoule with approximately 10 ml of water in a 1:1 ratio. Stir until the mixture becomes thick and creamy. Apply the creamy ampoule all over your hair and and then pin up your hair. Cover your hair with a plastic hair cap. Leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse your hair with warm water (without shampoo), and then style your hair as desired. Use once a week.

This ampoule is really easy and simple to make and it's really quick and easy to apply. I thought the ampoule mixture smelt really nice and my hair was left feeling soft and silky, as well as feeling and looking clean. We received this ampoule  back in 2016 as part of March's MISHIBOX and I'm happy to say it left my feeling just as good as the last time I used it.

Retail Price: $4/£3.06

Rate 5/5

 Lastly we have a IUNIK ROSE GALACTOMYCES SYNERGY SERUM, iUNIK is a relatively new brand that caught the attention of MISHIBOX with their minimalistic approach to skincare at an affordable price. The Rose Galactomyces Synergy Serum, combines two powerful ingredients to improve your skin. Rose Water and Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate, the Rose Water has long been utilised in skincare for it's balancing, calming and moisturising effects. While the Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate helps with sebum control, wrinkle care, and brightening. The serum also contains niacinamide for brightening, sodium hyaluronate for moisturising, and allantoin for soothing the skin.

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

This serum is the consistency of water and absorbs really quickly into the skin, once applied I didn't feel like I'd put any sort of product onto my skin, making my skin still feel clean. It also left my skin feeling soft and moisturised.

Retail Price: $20/£15.31

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 really liked the products in August's box, I rated everything pretty high as they all met my expectations and I'm quite surprised that I really liked the Eyebrow Tattoo Pen. I'd happily recommend all 5 of these products and it's raised the excitement for Septembers box.

See you soon!
