MishiBox is a Korean beauty monthly subscription box.


It offers a combination of 4-6 deluxe and full-sized Korean beauty products each month. Subscription is $19.95 per month with free shipping.  They also offer an annual subscription rate of $239.40. This is the easiest and most affordable way to try and test Korean beauty brands.

Each box contains a card describing all the items in the box.  It also gives the instructions on  how to use the products.  This is very helpful since most labels and how to's are written in Korean.

Here is this month's box:


Here's a closer look of the goodies:



My Beauty Tool Lovely Etti Hair Band
Etude House
Retail: $6

Yay! I have a humongous hair band and I have been scouting something not so blatantly screaming, "I'm masking right now!" This hair band is super cute, comfy and very dainty!


It's Real Squeeze Mask - Strawberry
Innisfree
Retail: $2 each mask


Vitamin Hand Cream
Dr. Vita
Retail: $4 - Full Size!

This is the time for hand creams. Believe me - aside from the drying cold air and the nonstop dish washing of pots and pans after the back-to-back holiday festivities will render our hands with the most unbearable dryness. One can never have enough hand cream. Throw one in your purse, leave one in the car, desk, by the sink - everywhere!

Dr. Vita hand cream contains lemon extract which helps brighten the skin. It also contains Sodium Hyaluronate which moisturizes the skin.



Power Volume Mascara
3W Clinic
Retail: $7 - Full Size

This is a waterproof mascara formulated with Carnauba Wax (from Brazilian Palm Trees) which gives the lashes a shiny, glossy finish.


Asta Stemcell Gel Cream
Graymelin
Retail: $32 - Full Size

Contains Astaxanthin, a powerful Beta-Carotinoid Antioxidant and Camelia Sinesis Callus Culture Extract from cultured stem cells of green tea.

It improves skin's health by protecting it from external damage. It also increases the skin's elasticity.

Boxy Charm is a monthly beauty subscription service. It features 4-5 full sized products. The cost of subscription is $21 and that already includes shipping. The value of the entire box is more than triple the amount of the subscription.  Brands included are more on the higher scale making this box one of the most inexpensive way to try fancy cosmetics and skincare items.

The theme this month is Glitz and Glam. It features 5 amazing full size goodies from brands such as Tarte, Bellapierre, Real Her, Pretty Vulgar and Crown Brush.



Here's a closer look:



Crown Brush 
Deluxe Blush Brush
Retail Price: $12

This is a super soft and dense blush brush! I love the beautiful shiny-white handle and brush tips. It looks very Christmas-y! 



Real Her 
Blush Kit
Retail Price: $32

Thank you, Boxy Charm for hooking up that cute Crown Brush  with this set of blushies. I have never tried Real Her cosmetics but I have heard good stuff about it.  All colors in this palette are shimmery. Perfect for the holiday season. 



Bellapierre
Pro Concealer Palette
Retail: $29.99

Confession. Although I am a make-up junkie, I have never really played around with concealers. I just use the regular beige ones but never orange, green and purple! I have an idea how to use these these colors - just can't wait to try it out to see if it really works!


Tarte 
Tartiest Lash Paint Mascara
Retail: $23

Complete the look with this mascara! 


Pretty Vulgar
My Lips Are Sealed Lightweight Liquid Lipstick
Retail: $24

Hmm. I am a bit lost with the color of this liquid lipstick. I am not really a big fan of metallic finish - I once tried a metallic lippie from  NYX and it did not look good on me. It looks like an aluminum foil wrapped around my lips. Anyway, I have never heard of this brand before. I might as well give it a try! 

The total value of this month's Boxy Charm is $120.99! That is amazing!
