'If you want to achieve that beautifully radiant Korean glow, removing makeup is ALWAYS more important than actually putting it on! Rule of thumb is, if you spend 20 minutes slapping on makeup, you should spend the same amount of time, maybe even more, cleaning it off! Regardless of your skin type, cleansing is the most important step in the game of Korean skin care! Don’t waste your time running down the aisles trying to find your perfect cleanser because we’ve curated the best morning and night cleansing routine-in-a-box to help you get glowing down to the pore!'
This was $35.99 which includes the shipping so I now realise I have been giving higher prices on my other posts....
Shara Shara Dream of Moisture Cleansing Oil 150ml - $13 (£8.68) exp: 16/04/16
'This effective, deep cleaning cleansing hydrates skin while it removes makeup and skin impurities. It provides essential hydration and nutrition for with sweet almond oil, avocado oil, argan oil, honey extract and more healthy ingredients to cleanse the skin's surface and renew the complexion, leaving it healthy-looking and refreshed. Ideal for all skin types, the non-greasy texture leaves skin feeling moisturized—never tight or dry.'
I don't think I'll be using this, after a bad experience with an oil cleanser I've been put off. I don't really want to risk another break out.
Yadah Pore Refining Foam Cleanser 100ml - $15 (£10.01) exp: 16/03/17
'This maximum-strength foaming cleanser leaves skin tingly clean and refreshed. Formulated with egg white extracts, mineral water, and flower water this pore clarifying cleanser controls excessive sebum, removes dirt and oil living deep within the pores, and soothes and refines the skin. The results? Skin is refreshed and purified! Of course, there’s the added bonus of less likelihood of breakouts and blackheads!'
I haven't used a foaming cleanser for a while, I don't find them drying as some people do so into my stash this goes.
Calmia Oatmeal Peeling Gel 100g - $14 (£9.35) exp: 14/10/17
'This exfoliating grommage gel visibly rolls and lifts away dead skin cells when gently massaged onto skin. Its gentle oatmeal and honey infused formula helps to effectively peel away the dead dermal layer to uncover a smooth and fresh new skin! It also removes impurities and decongests stubborn clogged pores for a youth, radiant look!'
I've never used a peeling gel before, it sounds quite disgusting rolling off dirt but if it actually works it's something I can deal with. I'm yet to use this but I've put it into my routine.
Bory White Snow Toner 130ml - $35 (£23.37) exp: 01/01/18
'This professional toner contains naturally brightening and moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, licoric extract, and morus alba bark extract to help clarify and brighten up the overall complexion. It contains arbutin, which inhibits the formation of melanin, to help prevent pigmentation and dark spots, and also contains propriety Lipidure to hydrate the skin, leaving skin clear, moist and healthy.'
I like the sound of preventing pigmentation so once I've got through a bee tox toner this will be next in line. I know products oversell themselves so I won't be getting my hopes up for this, it will just be a bonus if it does what it says!
Neogen Neoday Eye Remover Pencil 2.6g - $16 (£10.68) exp: 07/08/17
'This ingenious retractable eye makeup eraser/fixer instantly removes all traces of eye, including waterproof formulas, with its innovative double-ended tip. The oil balm tip uses gentle, non-irritating and skin-soothing ingredients to gently erase makeup, while the sponge tip helps to remove all residue and help tidy up around the eyes.'
Not sure how much use I will get out of this as I usually just use a q-tip to fix any eye mistakes. I will give this a go though as the oil will probably be more gently.
I think this box definitely follows the them, apart from the oil cleanser I'm looking forward to trying everything out. I like that everything has an expiry date far enough away to give me chance to use up the products. A good box with some interesting products.
Have you used any of these products?
This is Soap & Glory's offering to the micellar market and I have to say this works just as well as the L'Oreal one. It removes my makeup and doesn't dry out my face. The only bad thing about this is the smell, it really is quite off putting. It smells very strongly of cucumbers which is due to cucumber water being an ingredient. I don't mind fresh scents but this is a bit too much. I much prefer no scent at all when it comes to makeup remover, I was dubious the first time I used this as I wasn't sure if this would sting my eyes or not as the smell was so strong. I'm not sure if it is the cucumber again but when using this over my lips it leaves a horrible taste behind so I would advise avoiding the lip area.
This can be used on all skin types, it is alcohol, soap and paraben free. It's currently on offer for £4.80 as opposed to the usual £6 at Boots. I will finish this bottle but I don't think I will be repurchasing as the scent is just not for me.
Have you tried this micellar water?

'Oh my lips! The colder season is comin' round the corner, but are your lips ready? If taking care of your lips isn't part of your beauty to-do list this winter, re-think your beauty priorities. Most people don't know, but collagen loss and wrinkles around the lips add ages to your face, and with winter winds and drier climate, lips are more prone to aging and thinning. Don't fret because we're here to help you fight against lip-aging with this Oh! My Lips Box. All goodies are made with a bold blend of potent age-delaying, moisture-enhancing, volumizing, and smoothing ingredients to give you the look of beautiful, plump, and youthful lips!'
Vivito Painting Sweet Lip Balm 02 Berry Farm - 12g $24 (£15.85) exp: 12/05/17
'This chubby jelly-textured tinted lip balm give rich moisture and nutrition for dry lips. With a refreshing blend of blackberry, orange peel, grape, cacao seed butter, and more natural ingredients, this cute jelly balm will be the answer to winter's lip care concerns. It also comes in a cute tin for on-the-go care!'
This smells amazing, I can definitely smell the blackberry in this. Very expensive for a tinted lip balm though. Being addicted to lip balms I can safely say this will be used.
Lassie'el Kiss Me! Glam Up! Lipstick 6ea - $6 (£3.96)
'These are not one-time, disposable lip tattoos. They are real pigmented lipsticks packaged into these easy-to-carry lip cards, providing you with 6 different color options to choose from according to your mood, day, and occasion!'
I only got 5 colours as I got 2 of the Lucid Orange which means I was missing Oriental Red which is no big deal as I'm not a fan of reds. I think these would be great for travel as it gives you a choice of colours without needing to bring a load of lip products. To be honest I probably won't use these I only like a couple of the colours but already have something similar.
SR Lip Scrub - 30ml $12 (£7.92) exp: 08/12/15
'Exfoliate away dead skin cells and deeply soothe and hydrate dry, chapped lips with SR's Lip Scrub enriched with a blend of argan oil, tocopherol, vitamin E, snail filtrate, and pearl extracts. The gentle micro-beads soften and smoothen out roughened lips for suppler, kissable pout!'
This is a lot of lip scrub compared to the usual pots I've seen. I'm currently using the Lush scrub which I think is probably going to be harsher than this. I can imagine this being a creamy texture which I'm not sure I'd like rubbing into my lips. Good addition to the box but I just prefer sugar scrubs.
Vivito Dessin Solution Lip & Eye Remover - 100ml $32 (£21.13) made on: 29/04/14
'A double-layered Lip & Eye Remover that effectively melts away stubborn point makeup and skin impurities around sensitive eye contours and lips. Make sure to shake the upper and lower layers well together before application. Its gentle blend of lemon grass oil and rosehip oil has soothing and moisturizing effects as well.'
This seems awfully expensive for a makeup remover! This will definitely be used, one of the few products in the box that I like.
Rosemine Vitamin E Lip Balm Mint Tea - 12g $7 (£4.62) exp: 14/11/17
'Scented with a refreshingly minty, herbal fragrance, this Vitamin E Lip Balm is richly formulated from a blend of vitamin E, ceramide, peppermint extracts and 5 different kinds of moisturizing essential oil. It coats over dry, chapped lips with a moisture layer to lock in the moisture and to protect against external damage or dehydration.'
I think the thing that has put me off of this is the herbal fragrance, I really don't like anything herbal. I will be passing this along as to be fair I do already have enough lip balm to last a while.
Well out of 5 products I will only be using 2. I would say everything in this box does follow the theme but some of them just aren't for me. Quite a disappointing box but then that is just down to my personal tastes.
What did you think of this box?
