It's time to finally get stuck into my MISHIBOX for the month of April.

 First up we have a WANGSKIN WHITE FLOWER MASK PACK, this mask pack contains extracts from a variety of flowers, herbs and plants to visibly improve skin texture. Chamomile Flower Extract decreases inflammation, Edelweiss Plant Extract calms and protects sensitive skin. Lily Extract revitalises skin and Snow Lotus Flower Extract helps purify skin.

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

 This sheet mask smells absolutely gorgeous and is pretty easy to apply. Personally for me there was a little too much essence on the mask and I could feel it running down my nose, making my nose itch. Once removed my skin was left feeling soft, smooth and moisturised as well as my skin looking brighter.

Retail Price: $3

Rate 5/5

 Next we have a SKIN79 SEOUL GIRL'S BEAUTY SECRET MASK, the packaging for these sheet masks feature images from famous areas in Seoul, including Namsan Tower - Brightening Care, 63 Building - Vital Care, Bukchon Village - Moisturising, Han River - Soothing Care, and Kyungbok Palace - Wrinkle Care.

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 Vital Care mask and it smelt really nice and was easy to apply. It fitted to my face shape pretty well and left my skin feeling soft, smooth and moisturised, although my skin was also left feeling a little itchy where the edges of the mask had been and dried. I love the packaging, it's really cute and a lovely way for a newbie to get to know of famous places in Seoul.

Pictures used for the White Flower Mask Pack may be for this mask sheet, I'm missing pictures and not sure which mask they were for.

Retail Price: $3

Rate 5/5

 Next we have DAENG GI MEO RI'S KI GOLD SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER, a little Korean and history lesson, Daeng Gi Meo Ri is a Korean word that refers to the braided hairstyle worn by young boys and girls back in the Chosun Dynasty.

The shampoo and conditioner helps you achieve shiny, luscious locks by decreasing hair loss and improving scalp and hair health. It contains 33% herbal ingredients, including Green Tea for it's antioxidant benefits and Sweetflag Plant, which has been used historically to improve hair texture.

How To Use - Apply shampoo to wet hair and work into a lather and rinse thoroughly. Apply conditioner, let sit for 3-5 minutes, then rinse. Use up to once a day.

 I thought they both had a herbal smell, which I did think smelt nice, the scent reminds me of something too but I can't out my finger on what it reminds me of. Even while still wet my hair was feeling soft and silky, once I got it brushed through, which I did find a little tough and never really have a problem with. Once dried my hair felt soft and silky and had a lovely shine to it. We got the travel size of these products, which I think is perfect to get a feel of what they are both like, I have used them both with every hair wash and I do like how my hair feels and look after but I will be returning to my previous shampoo just because I don't know if this would strip the colour from my hair once it's been dyed again.

Retail Price: $7 each

Rate 5/5

Next we have a VT COSMETICS CICA CAPSULE MASK, this is a wash-off cream type mask that is meant to be good at removing sebum, dirt and debris, it's part of the Cica Care line which decreases redness and inflammation. The smooth green clay is not meant to dry out your skin, and the patented Cicaliao ingredient improves skin health by strengthening your skin's natural barrier.

How To Use - After cleansing, apply an adequate amount onto skin, avoiding eyes and lips. Let dry for 10-15 minutes, then rinse with water and pat dry. Follow up with your regular skincare routine. Use up to twice a week.

 This clay mask smells really nice and it's really quick and easy to apply, even if it is a little messy if applying with your fingers, there is just the right amount of product in the packaging to give a nice even layer over all your face. I left the mask on for 15 minutes and once removed my skin felt soft and smooth, as well as looking and feeling deep cleansed. I did suffer from a little redness but I'm blaming that on how I removed the mask (I always use a damp flannel with these types of masks). Overall a really good mask.

Retail Price: $4

Rate 5/5

 Lastly we have HALF MOON EYES MILKY JELLY TONING ESSENCE, this is a 3-in-1 toner, booster and essence all in one. It refines, balances and hydrates skin, and is great on all skin types. The white powder that settles at the bottom of the bottle is Silica Powder, which helps control sebum and smooths skin to improve texture. It also contains Tea Tree Leaf Water which helps decrease inflammation and redness.

How To Use - After cleansing, pat skin dry. Shake bottle well. Apply an adequate amount onto cotton pad and gently wipe skin. Then pat skin using using clean fingers to help increase absorption. Use once daily in the morning.

 I love the smell of this toning essence, it smells gorgeous and I love the thickness of the cotton pads. After using this product my skin was left feeling soft, smooth and hydrated as well as looking brighter also my skin was left feeling and looking like I had deep cleaned my skin. I am definitely continuing to use this toning essence as I love how it makes my skin feel and it's the perfect skin pick me up first thing in the morning.

Retail Price: $25/£11.84

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.

For the first time in a while I was a little disappointed with this box, mainly because three of the products were some sort of face mask. The upside of the box was that the products were really good and I enjoyed using them especially the VT Cosmetics Cica Capsule Mask and the Half Moon Eyes Milky Jelly Toning Essence, I loved how they both left my skin feeling and looking.

See you soon!

MISHIBOX: August Unboxing & Review

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

Now it's time to get down to the business side of the MISHIBOX, they offer 4 different subscription offers for this box.

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!

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

 First up we have a MEDIHEAL THERAFFIN HAND MASK, this hand mask has ingredients such as paraffin, Shea butter and ceramide which deeply conditions and moisturises hands. As well as niacinamide and lemon extract which helps brighten skin damaged by UV rays.
How To Use - Detach the gloves and place each clean, dry hand into the glove. Use the sticker to secure the glove onto your wrist, relax for 10-20 minutes. You can massage your hands to help improve absorption. Remove and discard gloves.

 I kept this hand mask on for the full 20 minutes so I could get the full benefit out of it, I use my hands a lot and I'm often cleaning with harsh products so my hands are often dry. My hands felt so much better after using this hand mask, they were left feeling soft and moisturised as well as smelling nice from the products in the mask.
Retail Price: $4/£3.00
Rate 5/5

 Next we have a HEALAVIE BRIGHTENING SERUM MASK, this sheet mask uses a high concentrated serum packed with Vitamin C and niacinamide, which helps brighten skin. It also contains ceramide, Shea butter and betaine, which moisturisers skin. The triple layer cellulose mask adheres closely to skin to deliver nutrients effectively to improve the skins texture and tone.
How To Use - After cleansing and toning, place mask onto face for 15-20 minutes. Pat any remaining essence for improve absorption.

 This mask smelt really nice, which is always a bonus when it's on your face, the mask was really creamy and the mask fit my face really well, which I'm always a fan of. My skin was left feeling soft, smooth and supple as well as looking and feeling moisturised.
Retail Price: $5/£3.76
Rate 5/5

Next we have a WANGSKIN CHOK CHOK MOISTURE CALMING CREAM, this cream contains hydrolyzed collagen to nourish the skin for elasticity and moisturising, while the papaya extract helps smooth and soften the skin. This cream is free from parabens, talc and mineral oil. Now a little Korean lesson, Chok Chok (촉촉) is a Korean word used to describe a moisturised texture, not wet or oily, just perfectly moisturised. It's often used in Korean beauty to describe the perfect state of skin. Thank You MISHIBOX for my new Korean word.
How To Use - After cleansing and toning, spread an adequate amount onto your face and neck. Use up to twice a day.

I really like this cream, it smells really nice, it wasn't too thick and it absorbed into the skin pretty quickly without leaving a greasy residue. My skin was left feeling soft and smooth as well as looking and feeling supple and moisturised. It also helped to calm any soreness around my face from removing make up.
Retail Price: $22/£16.53
Rate 5/5

Next we have a ALIVE:LAB CENTELLA DRESSING POWDER, this is a versatile powder that helps calm troubled skin using the natural powers of the Centella asiatica plant. It can be dabbed directly onto pimples, or even mixed with your existing skincare products to make your own calming skincare routine.
How To Use - Mix with small amount water to dab directly onto pimples. You can mix with mud/charcoal/modelling packs to make a soothing and clarifying mask pack, or mix with creams, serums or a toner to create your own calming moisturiser.

I used this with the moisture calming cream to help give my skin a more calming result, I really liked it, it's really easy to use and it helped with the moisture calming cream to calm down sore skin especially around my eyes. I want to give it a try with all the ways suggested to see if my skin benefits any better.
Retail Price: $10/£7.51
Rate 5/5

 Lastly we have a ARITAUM FRESH POWER ESSENCE POUCH PACKS, these face packs come in a wide variety to tackle different skin concerns. These pouches contain enough product for 2-3 uses.
How To Use - For the moisture, Wrinkle, Whitening, Collagen and Peeling packs, use as a sleeping pack. After cleansing and toning, spread an even layer onto your face, and leave overnight. Wash off in the morning.
For the Tightening pack use as a wash off pack, after cleansing and toning, spread an even layer onto your face and wash off after 15 minutes.
For the Bamboo Charcoal pack, use as a peeling gel, after cleansing and toning, apply an adequate amount onto your face and massage gently until flakes form. Rinse with warm water and follow up with moisturiser.
For all the pouch packs, close the cap tightly after each use to preserve the remaining product.

 As you can see from above, I got the wrinkle pouch pack. It absorbed pretty quickly and I'm glad it didn't leave my face feeling greasy while I would be sleeping. Nothing worse than waking up with fluff etc stuck to your face in a morning. The next morning after washing off my skin felt really soft, smooth and moisturised. For me my skin looked a lot brighter and refreshed.
Retail Price: $4/£3
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 really liked the products in April's box and as you can see I have no negative things to say about any of them. If I had to pick any favourites it would have to be the Wrinkle pouch pack and the Chok Chok Moisture Calming Cream, they are products I would mainly continue to use on a regular basis.

See you soon!
