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!

MISHIBOX: December Unboxing & Review

Hello

Lets get started on the goodies from December's MISHIBOX.


 First up we have a NO:HJ GYEOL (TEXTURE) MUD MASK, this mask uses Eco-friendly materials and the best mud and natural ingredients. The Gyeol sheet is designed to adhere to your face and recharge the nutrients in the skin while wiping away effects of stress, exhaustion or irritation. This mask is available in 4 different types which all have different benefits; Green Tea Mud which is Anti-Pore Texture, Tea tree Mud which is calming, Aloe Mud which is moisturising and Cucumber Mud which is for Luster.
How To Use - After cleansing and applying toner, unfold the mask and adjust comfortably to your face. Relax for 15 minutes. When finished, remove the mask and pat down the extra essence.
 We were sent 1 of the 4 masks at random and I got the Aloe Mud Mask, after using this mask my skin was left feeling soft, supple and moisturised. I didn't feel as tired either after having 15 minutes laid back relaxing while the mask did it's job. This mask was a good fit for my face as I didn't have that many creases once I'd applied it.
Retail Price: $2/£1.60
Rate: 5/5


 Next we have a SKIN WATCHERS GREEN SNAIL INTENSIVE CREAM, it's said that this snail cream moisturises and calms the skin, leaving it feeling supple and smooth without stickiness. It minimises fine lines and wrinkles, and helps restore your skin's natural balance over time. It's free of colourants, alcohol, paraben, paraffin, talc, pheynoxyethanol, benzopheone/mineral oil. It's great for sensitive skin.
How To Use - Squeeze out a small amount and spread gently over your entire face after toner and/or essence step.
 I absolutely LOVE this cream, I apply it on a night time after cleansing and toning, and my skin felt smooth and supple, it smells really nice and i like that the cream feels thick, which is why I apply it on a night. My skin can sometimes feel sore and irritated after I've removed my make up and since I've been using this cream it's helped with the irritation and calmed any soreness that i felt. I would highly recommend this cream to anyone and everyone, people tend to look at me strange when I say I'm using products that contain snail mucus etc but I don't think they realise how good it is for the skin when it comes to helping the skin look and feel younger, brighter and supple.
Retail Price: $25/£17.95
Rate 5/5


Next we have a HEIMISH 5-COLOUR LIP PALETTE, the info card says jazz up your look using 1 of 5 moisturising lip colours. Colour apples smooth and creamy for a subtle "no more normal" look! The colours are: MRCR01 - Working Day, MRCR02 - Lovely Day, RGBE01 - Morning Calm, RGOR01 - Morning Glow and RGRD01 - All Night.
How To Use - Apply to the lips with your fingers or a lip brush, layering for more intensive colour. Re-apply as needed.

I'm always happy for more lip products as when I have my normal everyday make up on I like to apply something to my lips too. I want to invest in some lip brushes to try and intensify the colour but I love the application of it from just using my finger. I applied the RGRD01 - All Night as I like deep red colours and to say it wasn't full on classic red when I applied it I loved that it gave my lips a natural look that is seen a lot on female K-pop idols. It was smooth to apply and left my lips feeling smooth and creamy without them feeling sticky. I'm not really sure on durability as I didn't really check on it while I was out but when I removed it at the end of the night there was still some on my cotton pad. If you're just starting out applying lip colours then I'd recommend this palette  as you have 5 neutral choices and it's also a tester palette so if 1 colour doesn't work for you 1 of the others might.
Retail Price: $5/£3.59
Rate 5/5


Next we got brand at random between BAVIPHAT BABY CHEEK CREAM BLUSHER and URBAN DOLLKISS ALMIGHTY COLOUR BALM, as you can see I got the colour balm. For the colour balm it says that this petite multi-functional colour balm can enhance your eyes, lips, cheeks or any part of the face that needs a splash of colour. It comes in a powder silk texture that goes on easy and feels weightless to wear. It's available in white and pink.
How To Use - Apply a small amount using a finger or a soft brush to desired area. Layer to intensify the colour.
 As you can see I got the pink balm, I've only used it on my lips at the moment but I can't wait to try it as a blusher as I've only ever used powder blushers, so I'm looking forward to seeing how it applies and looks compared to my usual blusher. I love the colour when applied and it's perfect for during the day, I love that it glistens in the light making it look like you have a gloss on your lips. Durability isn't as good but it's light enough that you can't really tell that it needs reapplying.
Retail Price: $8/£5.75
Rate 5/5


Lastly we got a PRELAB SKIN ENERGY AMPOULE MASK, the info card says that this bottle is full of energy and nutrients soaked into an ampoule mask to quench your skin's thirst. There are 4 different masks with each showcasing different benefits, Aqua Energy will moisturise and refresh, Soothing Energy will soothe and calm, Wrinkle will rejuvenate and regenerate and White will brighten and improve your skin's glow.
How To Use - Unfold the mask and adjust to your face after cleansing. Relax for 10-20 minutes before removing. Pat in any excess essence on your face and neck as desired.
Personally for me this mask was soaked too much with the ingredients and I had to sit with a towel round me to catch any of the liquid that was dripping off the mask. I think also because the mask was soaking it made the mask a little heavy meaning it wouldn't stay in place and kept sliding down. The mask was still pretty drenched after leaving it on for the full 20 minutes. My skin did look and feel better after using the mask but there was also an obscene amount of essence left on my skin meaning I needed to use a towel to dab at the remaining essence. I think these masks could be better for someone that suffers with dry skin as the extra essence may help with that but personally for me it's not on my list of MISHIBOX products that I would like to purchase.
Retail Price: $4/£3.17
Rate 3/5



As a special treat we also received 1 of the 6 pictured bracelets as a gift from MISHIBOX for supporting them through the year, which personally for me was like a little anniversary gift from them for being with them for a year. The bracelets are really pretty and thankfully for me mine fits my wrist perfectly.


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.

Well this box was my first year anniversary as a subscriber with MISHIBOX and I think it's safe to say that I have never once been disappointed with any of the boxes I have received, it's very rare that I get an item that I don't rate 5/5 as they obviously carefully select which products they want as part of their subscription boxes. MISHIBOX is definitely a beauty subscription that I would recommend to anyone that's interested in skincare and even beauty in general

See you soon!
