Honestly, I cannot pick any favorites - I haven't tried any of the items but if I have to choose which one I am excited to dive in and test, that would be the Iconic Eyebrow Cushion. Second would be the Wander Beauty mask.

On a side note, I received an email from Boxycharm about the CoverFX booboo. It stated there that the palette shade is not compatible to my skin tone (as per the skin quiz). Because of that, theyadded 45,000 points towards my Charms which can be used to purchase full sized products in the Charm Room.

It offers a combination of 4-6 deluxe and full-sized Korean beauty products each month. Subscription is $23.95 per month with free shipping.  They also offer an annual subscription rate of $287.40 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 is a closer look of the items:




Milky Dress
Oasis Peeling Gel
Full Size!
Retail: $18 / 100ml

Claims: Gently removes dead skin cells to visibly improve skin complexion.

How to use: After cleansing, on dry skin, apply a good amount of the product and massage for 1-2 minutes. Rinse with warm water. This can be done 1-2 a week.



Dr. Smis
Hyalu Aqua Mask Pack
Full Size 
$2.5 Each Piece 

Claims: Contains Hyaluronic Acid and EGF which moisturizes the skin as well as improves its elasticity. It also contains Naicinamide which brightens the skin tone.

How to use: Use this mask after cleansing and toning. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes. Pat remaining essence on the skin. 


Graymelin
Eggplant Bubble Pad
Full Size
Retail: $5 Each 

Claims: This is a one-step cleansing pad. Once opened and exposed to air, it bubbles up making it more effective in removing make-up and dirt on the skin.  It contains aAHA, BHA and PHA which gently exfoliates the skin. It also contains Eggplant Fruit Extract which brighten the skin.

How to use: Use a gentle, circular motion when wiping the skin. Use the pink side of the pad for more exfoliation. Rinse then pat dry.



Re, DNA
Galactomyces Ampule
Mini Size
Retail: $10/ 15 ml

Claims: Contains 97% Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate. It brighten, smoothen, and promotes skin elasticity. 

How to use: Apply after cleansing and toning. Can be used twice daily.


Graymelin
Day by Day Creams
Full Size
Retail: $21

Comes in 4 different formulas:
#1 - Moist Ice Cream - Contains Beta Glutan, Aloe Vera leaf extract and Sodium Hyaluronate. This formula works well with dry skin.

#2 - V5 Multi Vita Cream - Contains niacinamide and vitamins A, C and E. It brighten dull skin.

#3 - Collagen Repair Cream - Contains adenosine and hydrolyzed collagen which improves the skin's elasticity.

#4 - Cica Solution  - Has tea tree exract, chamomile and centella asiatica extract which works well to calm irritated skin.

I received the #4, which doesn't really go well with any of my skin needs. 

How to use: apply after cleansing and toning. Can be used up to twice daily.

Verdict:
I am not that happy with this month's Mishi Box. There is really nothing exciting about any of the products curated. Also, I hope that they give the subscriber an option to pick which Graymelin Day by Day Cream is best suited for them. I got something that I will not use since I have no need for it. If I were made to chose, I would have liked either 1,2 or 3 but definitely not the 4!

BioSphere Naturel Lumiere Day Cream

My morning routine is simple and not as extensive as my evening ones. I have a very short amount of time from waking up, getting ready for work and getting my daughter ready for school. I do not have the leisure to sit and wait for a bajillion skincare products to dry and layer. With that, my morning skincare routine is just cleanse, tone (I use a spray), Vitamin C serum (for day use) and moisturize (sometimes with SPF). That is why it is essential that I use a moisturizer that is jam packed with all the essential ingredients to keep my skin looking its best.



I was given a chance to try and test BioSphere Naturel Lumiere Day Cream. I have been on the look out for natural and organic skincare line and this one definitely stirs my curiosity. It is made in France and we all know that anything French must be really good.



Beautifully packaged. The bottle has an air tight pump which protects the product inside from contamination.  


Lumiere Day Cream is as its name says, is a moisturizer best used in the morning just when you are about to start your day. It is formulated with organic and natural ingredients such as bamboo extracts, rice powder, sunflower seed oil and water lily root extract. It works to hydrate the skin with a matte finish without looking pasty.  



I have been using this cream for about a week now and so far, I have never experienced any adverse effects. It is true that is hydrating. In fact, I love that it is very lightweight on the skin. It also works well under make up. It preps the skin making it the perfect canvass. On days when I am too lazy to put on make up, this moisturizer is enough to keep my skin looking fresh and healthy without any greasiness.



BioSphere Naturel Lumiere Day Cream is available on Amazon. It is free from parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, sulfates, silicones, synthetic fragrance and dyes. It is organic, natural and cruelty free.
