It's time to get into the November MISHIBOX.

 First up from the box is an ESFOLIO PURE SKIN ESSENCE SHEET MASK, there are 3 masks available from this Esfolio range and we were sent one at random. The pearl essence mask enriches the skin with moisture and nourishment, giving dull skin a bright glow. The red ginseng essence mask keeps your skin bright and soft, helping you maintain a good oil-moisture balance. The snail essence mask soothes and regenerates tired skin, promoting skin elasticity and hydration.
How To Use - After cleanser and toner steps, unfold the sheet mask, adjust comfortably to your face. Relax for 15-20 minutes. When finished, remove the mask and gently pat down for absorption.

 I used my mask just before going out with some friends at work and I always leave the masks on for the full 20 minutes. This has been the first mask I've got that seemed to fit my face shape the best, a majority of the masks I've got in the past have been slightly big for my face. I got the snail essence mask, which I'm always happy about getting products with snail essence etc as it's meant to be really good for the skin and many celebrities and Asians use it in their products hence why them always having amazing skin. This mask left my skin felling really good, I definitely think my skin was a lot brighter and fresher after using this mask, this has to be my favourite mask so far. I couldn't find this on the MISHIBOX website sadly.

Next we have the HONGIK SKIN HAND BUTTER CREAM, it says that this cream is a literal "helping hand" to keep your hands and nails moist, healthy and smooth. Cherry blossom, rose, mango, and lily extracts, allantoin and coconut butter are combined into this cream to pamper your hands and nails with extra nutrients, minimise wrinkles, calm your skin and moisturise them to feel baby soft. There are 6 different  hand butters available: Cherry Blossom, Apple Mango, Petti Baby, Pure Clean Soap, Romantic Musk and Lovely Rose, we were sent 1 of the 6 at random.
How To Use - Apply a small amount to your hands as needed, and as often as desired.

I got the Lovely Rose hand butter, the colour scheme of the bottle isn't my favourite from the others but I do love the design of the bottle, I think it looks pretty cool. My hands were left feeling really soft and hydrated and I look forward to seeing how many hands look and feel after a few months of using this hand butter. The smell of the hand butter I would say smells no different to other hand creams that I've used, I would love to try the other ones out but sadly they don't seem to be on the MISHIBOX website.
Retail Price: $6
Rate 4/5

 Next we have the MEDIHEAL PETALPOTEN HYDROP SLEEPING MASK,  there are 3 different masks that each do something different. The Lotus Essential Mask tightens your pores and improves elasticity. The Primrose Essential mask is great for moisturising repair and skin tone control, and the Rose Essential mask calms your skin and moisturises it.
How To Use - Apply evenly onto your face after cleansing while avoiding the lip and eye areas. Press your palm gently to your face and apply body heat to set the mask. Leave on overnight for extra moisturising.

I got the Lotus Essential mask and found it easy to apply with the little spatula that comes with it, my skin did start feeling slightly tacky after I pressed my palms on to my face to set the mask but thankfully the tackiness seemed to disappear as I was getting into bed. I woke up to the mask being absorbed into my skin. Looking at the before and after pictures my skin looks less red and looks brighter, I'm looking forward to using this mask more and seeing if my skin looks and feels any better.
Retail Price: $15
Rate 5/5

 Next we have a TONY MOLY PANDA BRIGHTENING EYEBASE, the card says that this little panda will help you cover dark posts, circles and blemishes around your eyes keeping them looking fresh and bright.
How To Use - Apply lightly over dark areas and blemishes around your eyes. Then smooth over and blend with your finger, then pat gently.

 I love that this is in a little panda tub, I love panda's, they are my favourite animal. I think this brightening eyebase is pretty good, I applied it around both of my eyes and I could see that the dark circles around my eyes had lifted slightly, I'm going to continue using this eyebase for every time I apply my make up and see if it starts lifting the dark circles better.
Retail Price: $12
Rate 4/5

Lastly from the November MISHIBOX we have a TONY MOLY PETITE BUNNY GLOSS BAR, the info card says that this petite bunny will be your best friend to keep your lips moist, fresh and glossy. The gloss bar comes in 9 different flavours with each bunny having a different expression. The flavours are: Strawberry, Grape, Apple, Cherry, Peach, Juicy Orange, Neon Orange, Lemon Yellow and Neon Red.
How To Use - When needed, twist and apply evenly to lips. You can apply several times to enhance the colour.

I love this bunny gloss bar, it's really cute, easy to apply and leaves my lips feeling moist and looking pretty and glossy. I'd love to get the other 8 and see how they feel and smell, I've added it to my handbag so that I always have it on me for when it's needed, especially during the winter months when my lips tend to get sore and dry.
Retail Price: $8
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 Christmas gift for a beauty enthusiast.

You may have noticed that I haven't put links to the products or different prices and that's because when I was searching the MISHIBOX website none of the products were coming up, I hope they do eventually because I would love to add some of the products that were part of the collections we were sent at random, especially the bunny gloss bars, I'm excited to see what I will be getting in my December box as that box will be my 1 year anniversary with the MISHIBOX subscription service.

See you soon!

MISHIBOX: July Unboxing & Review

Hello

Annyeoung

It's been a while huh since I shared with you a MISHIBOX, I have still been getting these amazing boxes but I've just not been posting them because of my time away from blogging but I'm really happy to start these up again.

Ready to see what was in the July box?

No matter how many times this box appears I still love this box and I'm glad for the info card otherwise I wouldn't have a clue with some of the products.

I love that it's all always hidden under tissue paper, it's like opening a present full of Korean beauty products.

First up in the box we have the Mediheal Teatree Care Solution Essential Mask EX. MISHIBOX states that this mask is a summer favorite  and an essential mask. It was also chosen as the 2015 Glowpick winner in it's category. Glowpick is a popular Korean beauty ranking service. Back to the product, this mask is formulated with Tea Tree Oil  to help control sebum secretion and soothe dry and irritated skin. It says after your skin will feel soothes and refreshed.

How To Use - After your cleanser and tone, place the mask onto your face. Gently pat any remaining essence into your skin to help with absorption.

This mask was practically dripping once I got it out of the packet but thankfully that didn't continue when I put the mask on, there wasn't a specific time on the info card to tell me how long to keep the mask on so I left it on for 20 minutes like a majority of the masks I've gotten and used from MISHIBOX. After removing and patting away the excess essence my skin felt really soft, I would love to purchase this mask again but I couldn't find it on the MISHIBOX site for the products they've used.

Retail Price: $3

Rate 5/5

Next up we have the Tony Moly Kiss Kiss Lovely Lip Patch, this is my first time seeing something like this, I never knew you could get patched that would help moisturize your lips. This product is a popular hydrogel lip patch and contains various fruit extracts to help transform dull and dry lips into soft, plump and moisturized lips.

How To Use - After cleansing your face and drying your lips, place the patch onto your lips. Remove after 20-30 minutes. Gently pat any remaining essence into your skin to help with absorption.

I loved this lip patch it reminded me of the cherry lips sweets that you can get and it even smelt like them which had me craving some. I think these patches are more for laying down and relaxing while using it as I was sat up and could feel it sliding down and coming away from my lips and face. I think it would be a must use before a night out to help your lips feel a lot plumper. I actually felt like I'd used a Matte lipstick when I removed it as my lips felt moisturized, I kept touching them too, they also felt a bit plumper too.

Retail Price: $4

Rate 5/5

Next up we have the Tony Moly Mango Hand Butter, MISHIBOX states that this hand butter is perfect to use before diving into the pool for a swim. It's lightweight and has a tantalizing sweet mango scent and is formulated with mango seed butter to keep your hands smooth and soft.

How To Use - Apply an appropriate amount to your hands after cleansing or whenever they feel dry.

I still carry last hand cream we got from Tony Moly in my bag from the December MISHIBOX so this hand butter is definitely welcome and will be included in my hand luggage when we go to Disneyland Paris at the end of this month. MISHIBOX tends to have a lot of Tony Moly products inside their boxes which I believe is because it's a popular brand in Korea one of the faces for their products is the stunning South Korean rapper/singer/goddess Hyuna. This hand butter smells really good and like mango, it left my hands feeling soft and moisturized, the cream smelt that good that I just couldn't stop smelling my hands. It's definitely a good hand butter for the year round and even is packaged in a cute mango shaped container.

Retail Price: $12

Rate 5/5

Next we have the Cosrx Blackhead Silk Finger Ball, stating that summer doesn't have to be blackhead season, hotter temperatures can increase sebum levels which can lead to clogged pores and blackheads. You can use these 100% natural silk cocoon finger balls to gently clear away the dirt and provide gentle exfoliation.

How To Use - Soak the finger ball in lukewarm water for 2-3 minutes. Put the softened ball on your finger and massage desired parts. Wash the waters that come out onto the finger ball and dry the ball. Use 1-2 times per week. The balls can be reused 2-3 times.

I often get blackheads on my nose along with dry skin at the sides of my nose, so I'm always willing to try something new to help with that. After using these I could see a difference but a couple of days later my nose felt dry again but there wasn't any visible black heads which was a bonus, I will keep using them to see if I get better results in the long run.

Retail Price: $5

Rate 3/5

Lastly in July MISHIBOX we have the Tosowoong Soft Touch Sun Cream, this is one of the brands best-selling products, it's an oil-free, non-sicky, mild physical sun cream with an SPF 32. It;s made with hypo-allergenic ingredients, which are great for both sensitive and troubled skin types. It's formulated with green tea extract, mulberry root extract, portulaca extract and lotus extract to make your skin more elastic and vibrant.

How To Use - Take an appropriate and apply sun cream to areas that are exposed to the sun 30 minutes prior to going outdoors. Reapply every 2-3 hours.

I won't be reviewing this one on this post as one it's cloudy here at the moment and two I'm packing it away into my case for Disneyland Paris along with the Secret Key Snail Repairing Sun Cream I got from one of my past boxes which has a higher SPF so will be used on my face. I will tell you though that the sun cream smells really nice and doesn't smell like sun cream.

Retail Price: $18

You may have noticed none of the items are highlighted for you to click on and only have the American price, that#s because I couldn't find any of the products on the MISHOBOX site but will hopefully update this once they appear on the site for if any of you would like to know the British price or would like to buy the products yourself.

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

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

See you soon!

MISHIBOX: March Unboxing & Review

Hello

An nyeoung

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.
