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

 First up we have ETUDE HOUSE SILK SCARF DOUBLE HAIR MASK, this hair mask is a DIY mask to deep condition your hair. The effects of this mask can last up to 7 days with just one treatment.

How To Use - After shampooing, squeeze out excess water from hair. Work step 1 into your hair, focusing on your hair tips. Then place step 2 hair cap onto your head and massage your hair gently. Leave on for 15-20 minutes, then rinse hair thoroughly with warm water.

 This hair mask smelt nice, it was a thick cream and was easy to work into my hair. The hair cap was a little big for my head, so bits of my hair kept falling out. Once I had dried my hair it was soft and silky and left my hair smelling gorgeous. I would definitely buy this mask again to use as a fortnightly/monthly hair mask. When I normally dry my hair it's all frizzy and needs straightening to look sleek, while this mask left my hair pretty straight from it being dried, meaning I didn't have to take a long time straightening it myself.

Retail Price: $5

 Next up we have a GOODAL MILD SHEET MASK, Goodal uses natural ingredients found in Korea and utilises modern technology to bring the full benefits to to your skin. These sheet masks are made from 100% Eco-friendly Bamboo Fibre for a smooth, comfortable fit. Varieties include Apple which is smoothing, Citron which is brightening, Mugwork which is soothing, Green Tea which is Moisturising, Lotus which is pore tightening, Tea Tree which soothing, Blueberry which is vitalising, Ginseng which is moisturising, Quince which is nourishing and Raspberry which is firming.

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 Green Tea mask and it smelt nice. It was really cooling on my skin and I liked how the essence absorbed into my skin, leaving my skin feeling soft and moisturised, I'd happily use it again.

Retail Price: $2

Next up we have CALMIA OATMEAL THERAPY CLEANSING TISSUES, these cleansing tissues wipe away makeup, dirt and debris from your skin without irritating or drying out your skin. They're formulated with Oatmeal Extract and Mungbean Extract, which are excellent for soothing skin, and Papaya Extract is also added for it's gentle exfoliation properties.
How To Use - Gently wipe skin to remove makeup, dirt and debris. For harder to remove makeup, apply the tissue onto area for 5-10 minutes before wiping.

I was really pleasantly surprised by these cleansing tissues, normally when I use wipes to remove my make up, it takes a while, meaning I end up using 3-4 wipes (on both sides) to remove everything, also leaving my skin feeling irritated and my eyes feeling sore and tender. These cleansing tissues removed my makeup really well and pretty quickly, just 1 tissue removed a majority of my makeup, only leaving behind a little bit of mascara and eyeliner. My skin was left feeling clean and soft as well as being gentle on my eyes and not leaving the skin around my eyes and my lash line feeling sore and tender. I think these are perfect for removing dirt and makeup when you're too tired or don't want to be in the bathroom a while cleansing and rinsing your face.
Retail Price: $5
Rate 5/5

 Next we have IUNIK PROPOLIS VITAMIN SLEEPING PACK, this is a convenient and effective sleeping pack that can also be used during the day on those extra dry spots. It contains 16% Propolis Extract which is great foe moisturising and softening the skin, and 8% Vitamin Tree Fruit Extract for evening out your skin tone. With the addition of 5% Centella Extract which helps calm sensitive skin. It contains no artificial fragrance and is formulated with all Green Level EWG ingredients.
How To Use - After cleansing and toning, apply an adequate amount onto your face and neck. Leave on overnight. For use during the day, apply a thin layer onto dry spots.

 I was a little nervous about using this sleeping pack as the first and last time I used anything that contained Propolis, my skin didn't agree and I reacted to it, so I was glad and pleasantly surprised when I had no reaction to it. It smells gorgeous and absorbs into my skin really quickly, after applying my skin felt soft and moisturised, and I woke up to my skin still feeling soft and moisturised as well as glowing. I use this up to twice a week and my skin loves it.
Retail Price: $18/£14.02
Rate 5/5

 Lastly we have MAKEUP HELPER ART HOLIC SOFT FIT LIPSTICK, Makeup Helper collaborated with Korean artists to feature the illustrations on their packaging. Swipe onto your lips for a special occasion and see how much a little makeup can improve your mood. The semi-matte colours are suitable for both special occasions and everyday wear, and go on smoothly.
How To Use - Apply onto clean lips as often as desired.

The lipstick shade I got was Autumn Rose, it does as it says and it applies smoothly, it left my lips feeling moisturised. This lipstick has normal wear and tear when it comes to drinking and eating and needs reapplying after a while. I love the colour a perfect shade of red for the winter months. I also love the packaging it's so girly and pretty.

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.

Decembers MISHIBOX was my 3 year anniversary and I don't think I could have got a better box of products, I loved them all but I highly recommend the Silk Scarf Double Hair Mask, the Oatmeal Therapy Cleansing Tissues and the Art Holic Soft Fit Lipstick. I'm on the hunt for more of the hair mask as I loved how my hair looked and felt after using it. If you ever suffer from irritated skin after using cleansing wipes to remove makeup, then I highly recommend the Oatmeal Therapy Cleansing Tissues, I'm often put off wearing makeup because of the time it takes removing it but these wipes are heavenly and perfect for me. Decembers box was really 5 star and I can't wait to see what January's box brings.

See you soon!

Hello

안녕하세요

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

First up we have a PROUD MARY CEREAL MASK, these masks use plant-based ingredients which help improve your skin. There are 4 different varieties and all 4 having different benefits. The Whitening mask uses Apricot Extract and Niacinamide to brighten skin. The Pore Care mask uses Chestnut Extract to decrease the appearance of pores. The Moisture mask uses Quinoa Extract to moisturise and nourish the skin. Finally the Firming mask uses Red Bean Extract to increase elasticity and protect the skin from pollutants.

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 Firming mask, the mask itself smells really nice and even though the mask was saturated in essence, which is something I often dislike about some of the face masks we receive, it didn't drip off the mask at all while I was wearing it. It fit my face shape pretty well and it left my skin feeling soft, smooth and supple, I did notice for a while after removing the mask that my face felt a little tacky and the mask was still saturated with essence once removed, but I still loved the mask.

Retail Price: $3/£2.26

Rate 4.5/5

 Next up we have the COSRX CLEAR FIT MASTER PATCH, these patches are hydrocolloid patches that suck out all the gross gunk from pimples and zits. They are designed to be thinner than the COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patches, and they can be worn under make-up.

How To Use - After cleansing and drying the skin, place a patch directly on top of a pimple or zit. Replace patch as needed after it becomes white.

 These patches have become my go to method when I have a pimple that I want to get rid of, I often sleep with the patches on and I notice straight away the pimples reducing in appearance and size. I was pleasantly surprised with how well these patches work.

Retail Price: $5/£3.77

Rate 5/5

Next up we have a HALF MOON EYES HOJINE SLEEPING PACK, this sleeping pack contains an abundance of polyphenols from Hojicha (parched green tea leaves) to soothe and moisturise sensitive skin. The sleeping mask also helps improve tour skin's natural barrier.

How To Use - After cleansing and toning at night, apply adequate amount onto your face and neck. Rinse off with warm water next morning.

This mask smells really nice and absorbs really quickly, my skin did look a little greasy after applying and before fully absorbing my skin did feel a little tack but soft as well. After rinsing my face the next morning my skin felt soft and smooth as well as feeling hydrated, moisturised and looking brighter. Sadly there is no way to reseal the pot meaning if you don't use it quickly it would dry out.

Retail Price: $4/£3.01

Rate 4/5

Next up we have the CHARMZONE GINGKO MAKE UP CLEANSING TISSUE, these cleansing tissues contain antioxidant- rich Gingko Extract to cleanse and revitalise skin. The thick, embossed tissues are said to effectively remove make-up, dirt and debris from your skin and gently exfoliate it too.

How To Use - Take one tissue from your skin and gently wipe off make-up and debris from skin.

 I'm not really a fan of using wipes and tissues to remove my make-up as my skin always ends up feeling sore and tender from trying to rub off the make-up. While the tissue removed most of my make-up as you can see from the pictures, even my lipstick that is meant to last 12+ hours, it wasn't the best for removing the mascara from my lashes, leaving the areas around my eyes red and feeling a little sore and tender. Sadly I wouldn't say this would be my go to make-up remover but I think I definitely will continue to use when it comes to removing my long lasting lipsticks.

Retail Price: $6/£4.52

Rate 3/5

 Lastly we have out spotlight product, SIORIS BRING THE LIGHT INTO YOUR SKIN SERUM, Sioris means "simple and original" and they pride themselves on using clean, fresh ingredients. This serum contains 99% naturally derived ingredients, and 83% organic ingredients. It is a lightweight, fast-absorbing milky fluid that can be used by itself to moisturise skin and great for warmer weather. It contains Organic Green Plum Water, Safflower Oil, Panax Ginseng Callus Culture Extract, and Alpha-Bisabolol to moisturise and brighten skin. It's light citrus scent is blended from Roman Chamomile, Geranium, and Ylang Ylang, and is designed to be non-irritating.

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

This serum smells gorgeous and really reminds me of the yho+gurt drinks that you can buy, it applies smoothly to the skin and is fast absorbing. It left my skin feeling soft and moisturised, definitely a product I would buy again once I ran out.

Retail Price: $24/£18.08

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 was pretty pleased with May's box and even though it wasn't top marks for all the products, I'd happily give them another try to see what my second opinion would be. I have to say that my favourites though are the COSRX pimple patches and our spotlight product the Sioris Bring The Light Into Your Skin Serum, I'd definitely recommend them to other people especially people that suffer from pimple break outs.

See you soon!

MISHIBOX: November Unboxing & Review

Hello

A bit delayed but shall we get stuck into November's MISHIBOX?

 First up we have a 3W CLINIC FRESH MASK SHEET, these masks use 100% cotton sheets soaked in plenty of essence to deliver moisture and nutrients to your skin. 2 varieties were available and both with different benefits: The Royal Jelly mask helps with extra moisture and elasticity and The Potato Mask helps with clearing and brightening skin.

How To Use - After cleansing and toning, place sheet mask onto your face and relax for 10-20 minutes. Pay any remaining essence to increase absorption.

 The mask was really easy to apply and smelt really nice, like normally with these masks it was a little too big for my face. My skin was left feeling soft and smooth as well as feeling really silky. My skin was left feeling tight when the mask was removed but that feeling wore off after a few minutes, sadly though the skin around my eyes were left feeling a little sore and tender.

Retail Price: $1.50/£1.14

Rate 3.5/5

Next up we have a RAMOSU NIGHT NIGHT SLEEPING PACK, this mask is an overnight leave on mask that provides deep moisture while you sleep. It contains Shea Butter and Macadamia Seed Oil for all-day hydration. Green Tea Extract which decreases puffiness and Centella Asiatica Extract which decreases redness and inflammation. You can also keep it in the fridge to use cold as it even helps decrease the appearance of pores and refreshes skin doing so.

How To Use - After cleansing and toning, use the included spatula to apply an adequate amount onto your face. Leave on overnight and rinse in the morning.

 I was a little nervous about using this mask pack as i was expecting it to be a thick and end up all over my pillow but I was pleasantly surprised. The mask  smelt really nice and I ended up using my fingers to apply the mask instead of the spatula as I found it easier that way as it was just running of the spatula. The mask applied just like a moisturiser and you get at least 2 applications out of it. My skin once rinsed off was left feeling soft, smooth, moisturised and refreshed, my skin was also left feeling deeply cleansed. My next application I am going to put it in the fridge and see if it benefits my skin any better.

Retail price: $3/£2.29

Rate 5/5

 Next we have a RAEUM PARK SILICON JELLY PUFF, this make-up applicator is suitable for all liquid type products. It doesn't absorb any liquids, so you don't waste any products and it washes easily with soap and water.

How To Use - Use to apply liquid foundations and/or creams. you can also use it as a make-up palette, or place in the fridge to use as a cold pack for your eyes to decrease puffiness.

 This is my first time using a make-up applicator other than my make-up brush and I was pleasantly surprised, it was really soft and squishy to touch with it being really flexible and able to mold round the face. It was really easy and simple to use, I felt it gave me even make-up coverage without applying too much of my foundation. It also took less than a minute to clean.

Retail Price: $6/4.57

Rate 5/5

 Next up we have SULGUKHWA OKHAN EYE SERUM, this eye serum helps keep the sensitive skin around your eyes smooth and moisturised. It uses ingredients such as Sodium Hyaluronate and Grape Seed Oil. Pearl Extract, Elm Tree Extract and Chrysanthemum Extract which all help to brighten skin under the eyes, leaving your skin looking refreshed and clear.

How To Use - After cleansing and toning, gently apply a small amount to the skin around and under your eyes. Tap with your finger tips to help increase absorption.

 This eye serum is really easy to apply and smells really nice, it has a really nice and creamy consistency and it instantly soothed the soreness and tenderness around my eyes. My skin felt smooth and soft as well as my skin feeling refreshed and looking brighter.

Retail Price: $14/£10.66

Rate 5/5

Next up we have our spotlight item BENTON HONEST TT MIST, this mist is a pH-balanced facial mist which is great for everyday moisture. This mist is the perfect size to keep in your handbag, it contains tea Tree Leaf water and Tea Tree Extract for inflammation control and Sodium Hyaluronate to increase moisture and elasticity. This product is highly recommended for skin dehydrated and angry from the autumn and winter winds.

How To Use - Close your eyes and spray onto your face whenever you need a boost of moisture. You can also use this mist as a toner after cleansing.

This mist is really handy to have in your handbag as well as to take away with you when staying out. I love the sleek and simple packaging, the mist left my skin feeling soft and smooth as well as leaving my skin feeling and looking hydrated and refreshed, a must with all the high winds we've had during the winter months.

Retail Price: $11/£8.38

Rate 5/5

 Lastly we have an URBAN DOLLKISS PAPRIKA HAND CREAM, these hand creams come in 3 different varieties and all of them offer amazing moisturisation with each of them having additional benefits. Green Paprika contains Adenosine to help with wrinkle care, Yellow Paprika contains Lemon Extract for brightening, and Orange Paprika contains Peach Extract to help increase elasticity.

How To Use - Apply an adequate amount onto clean hands and massage into skin.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the packaging for these hand creams, which is odd as I don't like peppers. I got the Orange Pepper and it was placed into my handbag straight away, it smells gorgeous and left my hands feeling soft, smooth and moisturised as well as leaving them smelling gorgeous.

Retail Price: $10/£7.62

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 find that the only items I'm normally pretty hit or miss with is the face masks, they're either a tad too big for my face or have way too much essence for me to feel comfortable. Overall November's MISHIBOX was pretty good and I wasn't disappointed by anything, I'm excited to share December's box with you as I was really happy and excited when I opened it.

See you soon!
