Here is a closer look of the Loot Crate box flipped inside out:






Cute right? So far this is one of my favorite design.  It looks presentable and not too comic-y to me. 

Here's a closer look of the goodies:


Firefly Independents Patch




Fsociety T-Shirt




Sideshow.com $25 Promo Card 
Wow. I checked this website and was pretty floored with the prices. The $25 wouldn't even make a dent! But- if you are into HIGH quality, almost real life looking collectibles, this site is for you.





 Assassin's Creed 
Aguilar (Crouching)
Pop Figure - Loot Crate Exclusive




Figure Fantasy
Coffee Table Book
Loot Crate Exclusive





As always, this month comes with a Loot Crate exclusive pin and magazine. 
The pin unlocks an extra digital loot that can be redeemed online. The bonus this month is from the Assassin's Creed. 

My take on this month month's box is blah. There is nothing exciting about it for me. Aside from the shirt and the coffee table book, there is nothing else in this box that makes it a good set of curated items. The patch is useless and the promo code for sideshow.com should just be considered as an add-on. I wish they put more thought in to it since this is the last box of the year and also it falls on the Holiday season.

Blah. All the items in my glam bag are repeat products. Nothing new. It is weird because I ALWAYS review each and every single glam bag that they send me. I honestly do not think they pay attention to it! anyway, I am just glad to receive good stuff - at least.

Here is a closer look:

tarte cosmetics

City Color Cosmetics

MishiBox is a Korean beauty monthly subscription box.

http://r.sloyalty.com/r/utCDOXxdQg4P

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 are the items in the box:



What I love about Mishi Box is the fact that they ALWAYS have more than one full size product.  It definitely beats other subscription boxes. They also have a good mix of skincare and cosmetics every month.

Here is a closer look of the goodies:


Full Size!
Value: $4/ 25 ml 
I received the Aqua Energy variant.  This mask moisturizes and refreshes the skin.
 

 


Full Size!
Value: $8/ 8g
This is a multi-functional color balm that can be used on the eyes, cheeks and lips. It is available in color white and pink.  I received the white one and I honestly do not know how to use it. Hahahaha I guess I have to troll people on You Tube and see how can this powdery-silk cosmetic can give me a hint of color without looking like Casper.



Full Size!
Value: $2/35g
This mask wipes away the effects of stress, exhaustion and irritation.  
I need this mask! The craziness of the Holidays really did take a toll on my skin.

I love the sleek case of this palette! The colors are amazing too! Very wearable, subtle but beautiful.

This snail cream moisturizes and calms the skin, leaving it feeling supple and smooth. It also minimizes fine lines and wrinkles.
