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!

MISHISBOX: May Unboxing & Review

Hello

I always enjoy sharing these posts and trying out the new products we receive from MISHIBOX, so without keeping anyone waiting lets get stuck straight in.

May's spotlight product comes from Skin Watchers with their UV Success Sunscreen.

 First up we have a PACKAGE EVERYDAY BOUNCY FACIAL MASK, this mask is meant to be used daily to keep your skin moisturised 24/7. It contains Propolis extract, honey extract and galactomyces ferment filtrate to help achieve youthful, smooth and bouncy skin. The mask is formulated with parabens, alcohol, mineral oil, fragrances, silicone, pigments, PEG and phenoxyethanol to help minimise any skin irritation or reactions.

How To Use - After cleanser and toner, place on face for 15-20 minutes. Pat the remaining essence to increase absorption. Use once daily.

Personally for me this isn't one of the best masks I've received from MISHIBOX, it was quite fiddly to pull apart to use but it was pretty easy to apply. The mask was really sticky and for me it didn't have the best of smells but it did leave my skin feeling smooth and moisturised so that is a bonus.

Retail Price: $3/£2.35

Rate 3.5/5

Next we have a TOSOWOONG BLACK-HEAD NOSE PACK, these nose packs use charcoal, volcanic ash and Moroccan lava clay to effectively grab sebum and impurities to reduce the appearance of pores.

How To Use - After cleansing, wet nose. Using dry hands, remove clear film and place the pack on your nose. Let dry completely for 10-15 minutes. Slowly and gently remove the pack starting from the edges. Finish your skincare routine with an essence and/pr cream of your choice. Use once weekly.

I forgot to wet my nose before applying it but I still got clear and visible results from it. This nose pack is really easy and simple to apply and as I've already said I got clear and visible results with my nose also left feeling soft and smooth. This nose pack has now been added to my weekly skincare routine for cleaner pores and to fight against those pesky black-heads.

Retail Price: $6/£4.71

Rate 5/5

Next up is our spotlight product SKIN WATCHERS UV SUCCESS SUNSCREEN, did you know sunscreen is an important part of your daytime skincare routine? Excessive sun exposure can lead to pigmentation, dullness, wrinkles and not to mention skin cancer. It's recommended that everyone uses SPF 30 or higher daily and if you're doing outdoor activities, you should re-apply it every 2 hours. Also make sure you are using a sunscreen labelled broad spectrum, to block out both UVA and UVB rays.

The UV Success Sunscreen is formulated without parabens and mineral oil, it provides great coverage without feeling greasy or chalky.

How To Use - At the end of your morning skincare routine, spread evenly onto your skin. Wait 10-15 minutes for it to absorb before applying make-up. Sunscreen should be applied at least 20 minutes before sun exposure.

This came at the right time for me as I popped it straight into my case for Disneyland Paris and I'm glad I did as the sun was constantly glaring out without in cloud coverage. It applied really easily and smelt gorgeous, by the end of our holiday I was using on my arms and legs where I'd burnt slightly and it really helped me from burning anymore as well as cooling down where I'd burnt. It didn't feel greasy at all and absorbed really quickly, it also provided a good make-up base, instead of using my usual moisturiser.

Retail Price: $26/£20.40

Rate 5/5

Next we have a DAYCELL RE, DNA PROPLIS CREAM, because the Re, DNA Propolis Ampule was really well received with MISHIBOX Subscribers, they decided to include the cream from the same range in May's box. It contains 80% Propolis and niacinamide to moisturise, prevent signs of ageing and brighten skin.

How To Use - After cleansing and toning, apply evenly to skin. Use the ampule first, then the cream. Use up to twice a day.

 This combination of the ampule and cream are now part of my daily skincare routine and I'm tempted that once they have both run out that I will invest in buying one of the sets from this range. The cream smells really nice and thankfully not a sweet and sickly as the ampule did on my first use of it. The cream absorbs really quickly even with applying the ampule before and even though I used 2 different products with 2 different textures it didn't leave my skin feeling greasy, instead my skin was left feeling, soft, smooth, moisturised, and looking clear and bright and best of all my skin didn't have any bad reactions to the products.

Retail Price: $10/£7.85

Rate 5/5

Lastly from our May box we have a DAYCELL ANIMAL HAND CREAM, these hand creams are available in 3 animal forms: Wawa the Panda which is Citrus Ade, Dondon the Pig which is Budapest Rose and Kiki the Cat which is Delicious Sweet Dew. The hand creams contain adenosine for wrinkle care, beeswax and macadamia nut oil for moisturising. With each one of the animals having their own signature scents they can also be used instead of a perfume by applying a dab onto your neck and wrists.

How To Use - Apply adequate amount onto clean hands and rub gently. Use as often as needed.

To use as a perfume, dab a small amount onto wrists and neck.

 I'm guessing we were sent one of these animal hand creams at random with there being 3 choices available and I got my favourite animal - the panda. I'm interested in trying out the other 2 hand creams so that I can see how they smell and complete the collection. I love using this hand cream, it smells gorgeous, the cream absorbs really quickly and my hands were left feeling soft, moisturised, and smelling divine, it's also a bonus too that the packaging is so cute, this now is in my handbag for when I'm on the go and my hands need some refreshment.

Retail Price: $8/£6.28

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.

To say I wasn't really fond of the Everyday Bouncy Facial Mask, the May box was still a pretty amazing and effective skincare box and I can't wait till my June box arrives to see what amazing products we get.

See you soon!

MISHIBOX: March Unboxing & Review

Hello

March's spotlight product comes from Skin Watchers with their Enzyme Powder Wash.

Lets get started!

First we have a TOSOWOONG PURE MASK, Tosowoong's Pure Mask delivers brightening and wrinkle care in just one sheet mask. Active ingredients include niacinamide for brightening, xanthan gum for mouisturising and adenosine for elasticity. Mask varieties include: Vlueberry, Green Tea, Deep Sea Water, Propolis, Aloe and snail.

How To Use - After cleanser and toner, place on face for 15-20 minutes. Pat remaining essence to increase absorption. Use 1-3 times a week.

 I really like these face masks from Tosowoong, I got the Pure Aloe Mask. The Aloe mask helps to soothe and calm irritated and sensitive skin while also delivering intense hydration to boost the skins moisture and enhance the skins texture and radiance. I'm always really hit or miss when it comes to applying these masks, my skin was feeling a little sore when I used this mask and once removed my skin felt a lot better, softer and smoother, which I think you can really see in the after picture. I would really recommend this mask for anyone that suffers from irritated or sensitive skin as I found it to be a big help.

Retail Price: $2/£1.59

Rate 5/5

Next we have a PACKAGE MONTHLY NEW FEET, these mask socks exfoliate with AHA Complex and softens with orange oil for baby soft feet, which is perfect with Summer just around the corner.

How To Use - Cover each foot with sock for 60 minutes, then remove socks and rinse feet. Dead skin cells will start to peel in 1-3 days. Use once a month.

I suffer a lot with dry skin especially on my heels so I do like using these type of foot masks. The socks did smell strong of the products but I think that was just because there was so much actually in the socks to moisturise the feet for an hour. My feet were left feeling smooth, soft and feeling fresh after using the mask as well as leaving a nice scent from using the socks too. It's not a pretty sight once the dead skin cells start to peel away but your feet definitely feel better for it. We got socks like these in a previous box and I have to say that these are my favourite of the two, I felt that they fit to my feet better and none of the liquid leaked out.

Retail Price: $3/£2.40

Rate 5/5

Next we have PACKAGE MELT ME SOFTLY, this lemon herb nose pack is designed to fight against blackheads for clean pores, as well as helping tackle sebum. The nose pack also provides an essence type massage effect, leaving your nose feeling clean and pampered.

How To Use - After Cleanser and toner, place on nose for 15 minutes. Use a cotton swab to remove the softened sebum/blackheads. Use 3-4 times a week.

 I was skeptical when I first saw this nose pack as most blackhead products are strips that you leave to dry and then pull off with it taking the blackheads with them, and I thought how is this going to remove blackheads. I was left surprised when my nose looked less oily and blackhead free, personally for me this nose pack worked a lot better than the product we got in last months MISHIBOX, not only could I feel a difference I could also see a difference. Come my next payday I will be ordering more of these.

Retail Price: $1/£0.80

Rate 5/5

 Next we have a GRAYMELIN FOOT BUTTER HEEL & ELBOW BALM, this is a thick cream to tackle dried spots on both your heels, elbows and even your knees. It contains Shea Butter and smooths and softens your skin immediately, while also creating a protective layer to keep the skin moisturised.

How To Use - Massage onto clean heels and elbows daily.

As I've mentioned before I can often get dry heels and suffer from my elbows feeling dry and sore, so getting something like this is amazing for me. I love the packaging and I love that it's also pretty much the same design as their rice & sugar soft scrub, so high hopes were held for this cream. It smelt gorgeous, I only used it on my elbows but they instantly felt moisturised as well as soft, they didn't feel as sore either. This cream is definitely one that I will continue to use and really recommend it for anyone that suffers from dry heels, elbows or even knees.

Retail Price: $15/£12.01

Rate 5/5

 Next we have a FASCY MOISTURE BOMB HAND CREAM, Fascy uses character-focused designs for all of their products and these hand creams are no different, the creams are said to be fast-absorbing hand creams leaving your hands feeling moisturised and smelling nice. Varieties include: Violet, Peach, grapefruit, Strawberry and Milk.

How To Use - Apply onto clean hands and rub gently. Use as often as needed.

I got the strawberry hand cream and it smells absolutely gorgeous, I'm not normally a fan of fruit scented products but this hand cream smells good enough to eat. The cream absorbed into my skin pretty quickly and left my hands feeling smooth and moisturised as well as smelling really nice, I couldn't stop smelling them as they smelt so nice. I love the packaging as it appeals to pretty much any age, it also reminds me of Korean webtoon artwork, so it even calls to my manga interest as well as my need and want to have soft hands. I'd love to give the violet and milk varieties a go to see how they smell and make my hands feel.

Retail Price: $5/£4

Rate 5/5

 Lastly we have our spotlight product, SKIN WATCHERS ENZYME POWDER WASH, Skin Watchers is a brand that focuses on providing high quality products using natural ingredients. All of their products have superior quality as well as affordable prices. The Enzyme Powder Wash contains ingredients derived from papaya and corn to help remove sebum and debris from the skin, with a pH of 5.5, it effectively cleans the skin without causing excessive dryness.

How To Use - Pour a coin-sized amount onto clean hands. Add water and rub together to produce a rich lather, Massage gently onto face and rinse with warm water.

 I always like to test these when I'm removing my make-up to see how well it removes it, and this is now my new favourite product from not only MISHIBOX but also from Skin Watchers. Skin Watchers is a well known brand within MISHIBOX as they used their products quite a few times. My skin is left feeling clean, fresh and smooth once I've used it. Some products after using them can leave my skin feeling dry and tight but this powder wash doesn't, I've used this quite a lot on an evening and in a morning and I can really see and feel a difference from other products I use for cleaning my skin, especially when removing my make up, it's really quick and easy to use and HIGHLY recommend this product, so far I've not been disappointed with a spotlight product.

Retail Price: $20/£16

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 think it's safe to say that the March MISHIBOX is my favourite box so far for 2017, I've not been disappointed by any of the products we received in March's box which makes me really anticipate April's box.

See you soon!
