The K-Beauty Box November 2019 Review
1 of 3
The K-Beauty Box will always have a short booklet that lists the included items and how to use them. This month they've sent six full-size items and two bonus samples.

Cledbel Hydra Power Lifting Serum
I quite like this serum. It comes out as a cloudy gel from the pump and although it has a good thickness to it, it seems watery once being massaged and patted into my skin. It also has a faint grapefruit scent which I really love. I think this serum is really hydrating and plumping and it's definitely one I'll be reaching for more often after cleansing and toning.

Cledbel Power Lifting Cream
I was really enjoying this cream for a few days until I made a subtle discovery. It has a thick yet creamy texture and very little is needed to coat my face. The smell is slightly floral and pleasant and I especially liked using it at night since it's a little on the heavy side and I want to give it time to soak in. One night after putting it on, I was up close in the mirror to tweeze some eyebrow hairs when I noticed my skin had tiny sparkles all over it. I was like "What in the world? Why? How?" until I realized it was from this cream. It's hard to tell unless you are up close, but I just personally dislike having extraneous sparkle added to my skincare. To me, it's simply not needed. Sigh.

Charmzone Control Cream Self Massage - Retail Value $25.90
This product is a little confusing to me. Although it's called a "peeling" pore cleanser, I did not experience any peeling. This control cream is sort of an oil-based cream that is definitely good at moisturizing but feels a bit too complicated for me. It says to spread a thick amount onto the face, wait 2-3 minutes, then massage and rinse. Not too much happened to me in that time. My face felt amazing afterward, but it didn't strike me as anything as complex as it seems.

Charmzone Topclass Royal Gold Essence
Oh gosh, I am not a fan of this essence mainly because of the fragrance. It's just too overpowering and is really floral and perfumey. The consistency is nice though and it comes out as a slippery clear gel/cream that quickly absorbs. If you can handle the fragrance, it does seem nice for the skin.

IPKN Newest Honey Facial Mist - Retail Value $15.90
I love this facial mist! It's more than just a toner as is brings a ton of moisture to my face with honey complex and coral water. It feels more like a serum that is sprayed on, to be honest. My skin feels plumper and dewy after using this even before I add any other products.

Illiyoon Intensive Moisture Camellia Oil Sheet Mask
This was a fantastic mask to try out. It fit my face well and although it had a lot of serum, it felt really hydrating and the mask was soft. It has camellia oil which can help repair dry or damaged skin while bringing moisture. I found the scent of this mask to be pleasing as well and after removing, the serum slowly soaked into my skin without leaving a sticky mess behind.

O Hui Prime Advancer Skin Softener - Buy a 150 ml full size for $65.00
Like usual, the small bonus samples are the products I tend to love the most. They are generally higher-end products and therefore a bit pricy. From what a gather, softeners are closer to toners but can be a bit different. This product is more watery and sort of a prepping step. I used a cotton pad to spread this onto my face and it felt refreshing!

O Hui Prime Advancer Emulsion - Buy a 130 ml full size for $53.10
The next step for this brand is the emulsion. This is sort of like a moisturizer, depending on the other steps you use in your routine. It's much thicker than the softener and has an opaque appearance. It also makes my skin incredibly soft and I feel like it brings great hydration.
Verdict: The K-Beauty Box this month has a mix of hits and misses for me. I loved the serum, facial mist, mask, and samples but the control cream, lifting cream, and essence just weren't for me. This box always introduces me to new Korean brands which is great but it does leave me missing some of the cuteness that other K-Beauty boxes deliver. If you're passionate about K-Beauty I do think this is a pretty good box for the $29.95 cost to try.
To Wrap Up:
Can you still get this box if you sign up today? It's unclear if you'll get the same box that I did. Best to reach out to their customer service if you have questions.
