Mishibox - March 2018 Review | Korean Beauty Subscription Box



Today, I am back with yet another Mishibox review! Every now and then I fall down the Korean Beauty rabbit whole.. and it happened again (#noregrets).  Here's a look at the products that were included in March!

MSHIBOX is a monthly beauty subscription box that delivers hand-picked, top-quality Korean beauty products straight to your door! Every (adorable) box comes with a combination of 4-6 sample-size and full-size products. It can be anything from skincare to makeup and all the amazing things in-between. 

The cost of this monthly subscription box is simply unbeatable - $19.95!!! And, amazingly, you can choose to subscribe for the entire year (and save $12), or buy one box at a time. And they now offer FREE world wide shipping. 

I would highly recommend giving this awesome subscription box a try. The products you get are pretty high-end and very popular in Asia, plus you won't be able to get some of them anywhere else in the USA or Canada. 

MISHIBOX folks also opened up an online store where you can buy any of the products previously included in the box. Personally, I love that option, as I love one of the products included in the past boxes (The Ceramizing Cream from Skin Watchers) and was super happy that I was able to order a second batch of it!

What's in the box?!

The March 2018 box included:

  Natural Japonica Seed Oil 100  | full size

        My thoughts: I have tried many oils over the years, but this will be my first Japonica oil and I’m especially excited to try it on my desert cracked heels.


  Pretti Ban Ban Water Barrier Cream 

     My thoughts: I’m just about done with my Ceramizing cream from Skin Watchers (which was introduced to me by Mishibox, too, and which I absolutely LOVE), so it’s a great timing! I have tried this cream a couple of times already and really like the consistency of it. It's not too heavy, but moisturizes well. 

  J.One (the company launched by Ha Ji Won!) Pack Luminous Mask | full size

     My thoughts: Haven't tried it yet, but it's Ha Ji Won's brand, so I am willing to be it's going to be pretty darn amazing. It's supposed to be clarifying and moisturizing - can't wait to slap it on!


  L’ador Keratin Power Sleeping ampoule  | 

     My thoughts: I have never used a sleeping ampoule on my hair. I am not entirely sure how I feel about it - you're supposed to wash your hair in the evening, towel dry it a bit, apply the product (rub it in) and then dry your hair and go to sleep. Sounds pretty straight forward and as soon as I have enough energy one of those evenings to wash my hair (usually it's part of my morning routine), I will update this post with the results.


  Mizon Joyful Time Essence Mask | full size

     My thoughts: I got the Aqua one (there was a variety included in the boxes) and I tried it the first day and really liked it. It's moisturizing, it seems to have a bit alcohol in it (I could be wrong, I am just judging by the faint smell, kind of like a toner), but it feels very gentle on the face. I had a bit of dry patches on my cheeks and the mask seemed to have worked its magic, because the dry skin felt much better in the morning (almost completely gone). Would definitely buy this again.

April Mishibox Review + Giveaway


You might recall that I did two reviews of Mishibox boxes back in 2015 - I reviewed the August one and their very fist box - the June one. And I absolutely loved them both! Being a makeup and skincare hoarder enthusiast, I just love receiving these boxes and finding something new and amazing every time. But things started accumulating quickly and I had to take a break (not one that I actually WANTED to take for sure, but more of a frowny-husband imposed break).

Then when I went on Mishibox's website a couple of months ago to finally revive my subscription, I learned that there was a waiting list! Guys, Mishibox has come such a long way! They now have an online store on their website!!! And there was a waiting list!! I mean, I shouldn't really be excited about having to wait few months to get a box, but I was, because the folks behind Mishibox are amazing and they totally deserve all the love and hype - this is definitely the best Asian Beauty subscription box currently on the market, so YAY for Mishibox for rocking it!!!

For those of you who are not yet familiar with MISHIBOX, it is a relatively new (less than one year old) monthly beauty subscription box that delivers hand-picked, top-quality Korean beauty products straight to your door! Every (adorable) box comes with a combination of 5-6 sample-size and full-size products. It can be anything from skincare to makeup and all the amazing things in-between. 

The cost of this monthly subscription box is simply unbeatable - $19.95!!! And, amazingly, you can choose to subscribe for the entire year (and save $12), or buy one box at a time. When I got the first box for review, I was so excited and happy with the products included, I immediately hopped over to MISHIBOX website and ordered a couple more (the June and August one).  As soon as we move to Santa Fe and get all settled in, I am reviving my subscription again and keeping it, because the products included are always amazing and so worth the $19.95 per month!

I would highly recommend giving this awesome subscription box a try. The products you get are pretty high-end and very popular in Asia, plus you won't be able to get some of them anywhere else in the USA or Canada. 

What's in the box?!

The April 2016 box included:


My thoughts:



SKIN WATCHERS Ceramizing Cream 

Hands down, my favorite item in the box. This is a fantastic moisturizing cream. It keeps your skin super hydrated and soft, without the greasy feeling some moisturizers give you. It's formulated with ceramide, which is known for its water-retention capacity. It also helps repair the skin's natural barrier. The flyer included with the box says this cream is great for all skin types. I tried it a couple of times after cleansing my skin and it really feels amazing. It makes my skin very smooth and kind of silky to the touch. It doesn't make me feel oily, it isn't too heavy, and it works great under makeup. I would definitely highly recommend this cream!  


IT'S SKIN Todak Todak Pack  

There were 5 different typed of this little cutie in the MISHIBOX this month - Elasticity, Nutrition, Pore, Moisture and Vitality. I got the green one, which is the Pore pack - score! This is a clay pack with egg whites and apple that helps remove, control sebum and tighten pores. It's basically a mask that you apply on a dry skin after thorough cleansing and leave for about 15-20 minutes. After 15 minutes I was definitely feeling the effects - my skin was tightening fast!

I am happy I got this particular pack, because my pores has always been problematic. I need to deep-cleanse regularly and use products like these to keep them small and tight and not too visible. I like how this products works, I love the texture and the fragrance, and I love that it doesn't dry my skin up. I have a feeling I will be purchasing more of these in the near future!


ILLI mask

I haven't used this mask yet. but I am always happy to see Korean face masks in the MISHIBOX, because they're just wonderful. I received the Camellia Oil Nourishing Mask. It is formulated with Camellia Oil, Bean, and Ginseng, and it is supposedto boost hydration and skin vitality. I am looking forward to trying this mask and hopefully buying more soon!



MCC Perfect Finish Pore Pact

This is a sebum control powder pact, designed to absorb excess sebum & oil. It is also supposed to give you this blurred face effect - kind of like the Too Faced Primed & Poreless. It's formulated with some really great ingredients, like rosemary, peppermint and tea tree - for sebum and pore control, aloe very and argan oil for moisture, and chamomile and lavender for skin soothing and protection. Overall this sounds like a really great product. I have only used it a couple of times so far and it really does give you this great, smooth look, without appearing dry and powdery. It's also supposed be great as an eye primer, but I am yet to try that!



SKIN WATCHERS Natural Yam Oil Blotting Papers

My skin doesn't get very oily on regular basis, so I am not sure how often (if at all) I will get to use these, but I feel like these would be awesome at the end of a long day when you still need to look presentable, but don't necessarily want to re-touch with powder. 

The package is very compact and easy to carry with you in a purse, so I think these will eventually come in handy! Especially on a hot day when you're trying to take photos outside and definitely don't want to look oily and shiny!


BAVIPHAT Magic Girls Moisturizing Makeup Base

This is a makeup base - available in two colors - Rosemary Green and Lavender Purple. It's a color correcting base that adheres to the skin to fix the skin tone. The one I got - Rosemary Green - contains rosemary extract and arnica flower extract and it helps correct the redness. The Lavender Purple one is for dark circles, hyperpigmentation and dark spots.

I don't really have any redness problems, so I wish I got the Lavender Purple one (hello, dark circles!), but I still find this base great. It smells very pleasant and it seems to bond with my foundation nicely. For instance, I have this NARS foundation that I never use because no matter what primer I use, it just leaves nasty streaks and makes my pore way more visible, but I tried applying it today on top of this base, and it actually went on nicely. I was very surprised! I will continue using this for sure, and I will definitely be ordering the other color correcting base.

Overall:


I loved all the previous MISHIBOXes I got, but this is probably my favorite one yet. All the products included in this box were FULL SIZE, which was so impressive! I can see myself using all of them and probably re-ordering some in the future. As I said, I am most in love with the Ceramizing Cream and would recommend it to everyone, but the Todak Todak pack is also great and I am sure I will like the mask as well!

Beauty Product Review: Lush Cosmetics


LUSH Product Review!

Hello friends! Reagen here!

Today I'm here to talk to you about my favorite fresh, vegetarian, ethical cosmetic – LUSH! LUSH brand cosmetics bring you the best in, preservative free, vegan face masks, body scrubs, shampoo, soaps, and (my personal favorite) BATH-BOMBS! They even have shaving cream, beard & body-wash, as well as body spray! Yes, as I said before in my introductory post, men can use these cosmetics too!

My Personal LUSH experience -



I have been using LUSH products for a little over two years now and they have worked wonders for my skin, both on my face and body. In highschool I struggled with acne, and I tried basically every type of acne remover you've seen appear in a commercial. My wallet and I were never pleased with the results, sometimes I would find that most products would make my break-outs even WORSE! I know as well as the next guy, that when they go to pick up their significant other, whether it be for the Prom or a fancy dinner date, secretly we all want to look A-1 am I right? (Although we never really admit it to your face) Shortly into my freshman year of College a friend of mine recommended LUSH to me, but I had never wanted to try it out, because some of their products can be quite pricey. After a couple of months, I had finally had it. I broke down and drove myself to the nearest LUSH department store. My father always says, “you get what you pay for,” and boy was he right.

 Not shortly after I had arrived, I was completely overwhelmed with the amount of choices I had presented to me. Looking completely out of my comfort zone, a kind sales associate greeted me (saved me) and asked if I needed some assistance. I explained all of my symptoms to her, oily T-zone, dry-skin in the colder months, and occasional break outs. She led me over to the facial cleansers and moisturizers and we began our quest for the perfect option. After little deliberation, I had finally picked out what was best for my skin – their Angels On Bare Skin face and body cleanser. This cleanser is chock full of natural ingredients and safe synthetics, such as lavender flowers, and fresh ground almond. My favorite part about this product, is that it is Vegan – meaning it does not contain animal products of any kind! Paired with the Eau-Roma herbal Toner Water, I was ready to go kick some acne butt!

For my body, I was given their 4.2 oz pot of Ocean Salt from my friend that had originally recommended LUSH. Ocean Salt can be used on the face, BUT I like to use it on my body as a scrub, as it is definitely a little more rough than the Angels On Bareskin cleanser. Ocean Salt uses coconut cream, sea salt, avacado, lime and a little vodka to really get a good deep clean. Plus it smells like a margarita, and who doesn't love a good margarita at the end of the day?

After about a week using these amazing products, I started seeing results. It was as if one of the LUSH associate's took a magic wand, and waved it over my troubled skin, erasing all signs of there ever being a blemish. Not only that, my skin was VISIBLY softer, clogged pores that may have been visible before were nowhere to be seen. My skin was smoother, and to this day I still get compliments at work whenever someone shakes my hand, “my you have soft hands!” I don't know if I should be comforted by that or creeped out.

Bags under my eyes from long nights at the library studying for my World Politics exams were a thing of the past! Since that fateful autumn day in that department store, I have never used any other product. LUSH has a customer for life.



Let's talk Bath-Bombs -


 


 What is a Bath-Bomb exactly? Bath-Bombs are fizzing, relaxing, and skin softening works of art! The amazing creators at LUSH use essential oils and herbs, that are then packed into tiny little balls that begin to dissolve as soon as they come into contact with water. These tiny, but explosive, bombs nourish the skin and turn the water beautiful, vibrant colors. Some even have rose petals in them to add a more sensual experience. Reading in the bath tub has never been more relaxing. My personal favorites right now are Twilight, and Shoot for the Stars.




What if there is not a store near me?

That's perfectly fine! If you visit the LUSH website, you can actually scroll through their numerous products and read real reviews from other customers. These are not just 1-5 star reviews either! LUSH allows customers to list pros, cons, as well as best uses so you can find the perfect product that matches what you need with no problems at all! Plus LUSH let's you choose from numerous shipping options as well, that way you will get your products in no time!


















Why LUSH?

Along side LUSH being one of the most popular cosmetic distributors in the world, their products actually work! Shampoos like Fairly Traded Honey, keeps my hair looking and feeling fresh, while their body spray helps me smell fresh too!

LUSH is all about Ethical Buying – which is why they make it a priority to know where their buying their ingredients from, and from whom. For example, LUSH partners with Ojoba Women's Collective in Ghana, where they empower women and help out in their community by purchasing some of their moisturizing Shea Butter.








Charity POT! 

 No, definitely not what you're thinking, ya rascal. In 2007 LUSH invented a hand and body lotion they so aptly named the Charity Pot. 100% of the proceeds (except the taxes) from this magical lotion goes towards helping support global humanitarian, environmental, and animal groups!

LUSH products help fight against cosmetic animal testing!

PLUS The pots that your products come in can be recycled, I like to use mine as tiny succulent planters!


With everything LUSH has to offer, how could you not feel like a little superhero after purchasing just ONE of their amazing products? Thanks for reading my friends, I hope that I have shed a little light as to what LUSH actually is, and why I love using their products so much.





















Products discussed in the post and where to get them:

Beauty Product Review: Milagrous Anti Aging Serum


This Anti Wrinkle Serum really works. It smooths out your skin visibly (even in just a quick test-run, when you apply a bit to the skin on your hand, you will notice the blurring effect in the area).

It's a serum, not a cream, and while some serums have a more jelly-like consistency, this is a typical "watery" kind. Which is perfectly normal and has nothing to do with the ingredients not being good enough. In fact, it only means that the Carbomer content is on the lower side (it's a fluffy powder used as gels in cosmetics and personal care products to achieve desired consistency and texture.

If you look at the list of ingredients, you'll see that it has some fabulous ones. Including Aloe, Hyaluronic Acid (improves your skin’s moisture content and at the same time strengthens skin’s barrier), Vitamin C, Vitamin E (Tocopheryl acetate), Witch Hazel extract (contains antioxidant polyphenolic compounds that protects skin from sunburn and photo-aging), Ferulic acid (anti-oxidant), Jojoba (skin elasticity and moisture), and more. These are all organic, naturally derived ingredients. The serum is made in USA, it's cruelty free, vegan friendly and contains no harmful substances (100% paraben, alcohol, oil free).

I've been applying this twice a day, before cream/moisturizer, and have noticed improvement in the look and feel of my skin. Like I said, it's definitely smoothing and moisturizing. It provides your skin with a boost of nutrition and helps retain moisture for as long as 12 h. I noticed my skin feels very soft and moist in the morning (if I apply the serum before going to bed). I haven't been using it long enough to testify about the anti-wrinkle properties, but with ingredients like these, I am pretty confident the results will be showing soon. The skin under my eyes and on my neck definitely feels tighter and more plump already.

Overall, this is a great product. The packaging could be improved a bit (the printing on the label is a bit blurry), but in the end, it's what's in the container that counts.

Disclaimer: I received a FREE sample of the product for review consideration. All thoughts and opinion are my own.


About Milagrous Anti Aging Serum:
  • Is this good for my skin? What if I have sensitive skin? We love our customers. That's why we carefully blended this natural anti-aging serum from hand-picked organic ingredients.

Beauty Review: Too Faced Primed & Poreless


I am thoroughly disappointed with this product. 

I bought this pressed powder after watching some YouTube reviews and tutorials and reading some glowing reviews on Ulta and various beauty blogs. Everybody seems to absolutely love this pressed powder, but for whatever reason, it just doesn't work for me. 

I love the brand and use many of their products, but this was such a huge miss, I honestly regret spending so much money on this. I got it around the spring time this year, used it maybe 10 times all together (I kept trying to make it work, but it just would not), and ended up tossing it to the bottom of my "bad makeup" drawer.

It just doesn't do what it's supposed to. I have purchased it hoping to minimize the appearance of my pores (they're rather visible, especially on the nose and forehead area), but this powder only seems to be making it worse. Not only does it accentuate the pores even more, but it dries up my skin, and I'm not even one to suffer from dry or sensitive skin to begin with. 

I tried using it under foundation, on top of foundation, instead of foundation.. nothing works. It settles in pores and creases and makes my fine lines more visible. I suppose if you have an oily skin type, you might benefit from this powder's drying properties. With my normal skin type, this was just too drying, to the point that my skin would get flaky on the cheeks - yuck! 

Have you used it this product yourself? What did you think?? Let me know in the comments below!




About Too Faced Primed & Poreless Pressed Powder:

With just one brushstroke, pores disappear and skin glows with a stunning, soft-focus effect that can stand up to the harshest lighting. Wear the innovative, tried-and-true matte powder under foundation to prime skin, on top of makeup as a setting powder, or alone for a nearly-natural finish.
The pressed formula allows for easy application while still in the Boudoir or on-the-go. Choose which way you'll wear the innovative matte powder: under foundation to prime the skin, on-top of makeup as a setting powder or alone for an in-the-bare smooth finish. Whichever way you choose, you'll still banish the appearance of pores and achieve a stunning, soft-focus effect to combat any harsh lighting.
More To Love:
  • Minimizes the appearance of pores, fine lines and imperfections
  • Infused with a cocktail of vitamins A, C & E for antioxidant benefits; mulberry extract for a brightening effect.
  • Can be worn with liquid or powder foundations and bronzers.
  • Vegan-friendly
  • Paraben-free

Beauty Review: TJK Beauty Pure Argan Oil


Argan oil is good for so many different things, it's truly a phenomenal skin and hair care product. The TJK Argan oil is USDA Organic, naturally scented, cold pressed and unrefined. It smells very rich - a deep, long lasting earthy/nutty smell. I love that it's fair trade and cruelty free.

I use Argan oil mainly for hair care - I apply it to the ends of my hair to protect them from harmful effects of blow drying and to keep my hair nicely moisturized. My husband uses it as a natural moisturizer after showering - he loves natural, organic products, and argan oil (next to tea tree oil and shea butter) is one of his top favorites. I also like applying it to my face before going to bed - it provides my skin with a huge boost of moisture and my face feels really smooth in the morning. It actually doesn't leave me feeling greasy at all - it absorbs quickly.


TJK Beauty Argan Oil comes in a 1.66oz glass bottle with a stopper. I think the packaging is just as great as the product itself - very visually appealing. The bottle came wrapped in bubble wrap and placed inside the packaging, which was then placed in a bubble protected Amazon cardboard box - needless to say, it arrived safe and sound.

I think this is an awesome quality product and would recommend it to anyone looking for a natural moisturizer or something to tame the frizz/ help treat split ends with.

Disclaimer: I received a free sample of the product in exchange for my honest review.

Beauty Review: MISHIBOX - Korean Beauty Subscription Box | August


I know this is WAY late (duh, it's already September), but I'd rather post it later than not at all, because let's face it, MISHIBOX is awesome and the boxes keep getting better with every month! For those of you who missed my review of the first MISHIBOX, you can check it out HERE

MSHIBOX is a brand new monthly beauty subscription box that delivers hand-picked, top-quality Korean beauty products straight to your door! Every (adorable) box comes with a combination of 4-6 sample-size and full-size products. It can be anything from skincare to makeup and all the amazing things in-between. 

The cost of this monthly subscription box is simply unbeatable - $19.95!!! And, amazingly, you can choose to subscribe for the entire year (and save $12), or buy one box at a time. When I got the first box for review, I was so excited and happy with the products included, I immediately hopped over to MISHIBOX website and ordered a couple more (the June and August one). I think I missed the order deadline for the September box, but I'll definitely be getting the October one!

I would highly recommend giving this awesome subscription box a try. The products you get are pretty high-end and very popular in Asia, plus you won't be able to get some of them anywhere else in the USA or Canada. 

MISHIBOX folks are also hard at work on their online store where you will be able to buy the products included in their boxes. I can't wait for the store to open, I will definitely be stocking up on the Korean face masks - they are amazing!

What's in the box?!



The August 2015 box included:


My thoughts:



TONY MOLY Panda's White Hand Cream 

I had no idea Manuka Honey smelt so good. SO GOOD! 
This little hand cream is not only totally adorable (THAT PANDA! <3) but it also works really amazing! The bamboo sap and bamboo sprout are so incredibly moisturizing! I love how silky smooth it feels without leaving your hands greasy. I want to be able to keep my hands nice and soft without leaving greasy marks on everything I touch after applying hand cream. 

This is, hands down, my favorite product in this month's MISHIBOX


THE FACE SHOP Rice Ceramide Moisture Emulsion  

According to the flyer included in the box, this emulsion is great for minimizing dark spots, freckles, and hyperpigmentation. In other words, it improves the appearance of your skin and evens out your skin tone. 
I haven't been using it long enough to be able to tell you if it really works, but it's definitely very moisturizing. It also smells divine. I have noticed it absorbs quickly, but I also noticed that if I apply it in the evening, in the morning my face feels slightly greasy. It isn't a big issue, as I always wash my face with the konjac sponge in the morning anyway, but I wouldn't use this under makeup. It would most likely slide right off :) 


TONY MOLY Delight Tony Tint

A fruit scented lip tint that's been a huge HIT in Asia recently. I was thrilled to have found it in this box! The one I got smells like red grapes and has a rich red-wine color. It's not by any means easy to apply. You definitely have to have a steady hand and some experience with tints like this. Also, start from the middle and spread it towards outer edges, this way you'll avoid Miranda Sings looking lips.

I really like this tint. I love the smell and the color and how long it stays on. I can eat and drink, and there are no smudges but the color stays in place. There's a bit of a tingly feeling when applying it and initially I thought that was a sign of trouble, but my lips don't get dry when using it at all.



YADAH Anti-T Toner and Anti-T Emulsion

These two skincare products are supposed to help you with acne and breakouts. They also help control excess sebum.

I've only tried the toner so far, and only once, so I can't really tell you much about these products. I don't have acne and during summer time my skin usually "behaves", but the moment colder days hit and we start using the central heating system, I know my breakouts will be back. I will definitely be using these two then!



YADAY Mask Pack

100% cotton sheet mask, free of harmful ingredients such as artificial fragrances, colorants, parabens and ethanol. 

These Asian beauty masks are always my favorite products - they're always so amazing! I haven't used this one yet, but I'm happy I got the LIME one. I can't wait for MISHIBOX online store to open so I can stock up on these!
