BomiBox K-Beauty Review “Glow-Up” May 2024

This month’s BomiBox was all about hydration and brightening; the products included are the perfect testament to this. BomiBox is a monthly Korean beauty subscription box. Each month, you get eight full-sized and deluxe sample-sized Korean skincare, makeup, beauty, and body products.

This is a review of BomiBox Luxe, which is $39.99 per month.

This box was sent to us at no cost to review. (Check out our editorial guidelines to learn more about how we review boxes.)

First Impressions

It arrived in pristine condition, with everything neatly placed inside. Unlike some previous boxes that arrived a bit rugged, this one was intact, which made me really happy.

What's Inside:

Jumiso Awe-sun Airy Fit Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ – Retail Value: $22

This is my first time trying a Jumiso sunscreen, and it did not disappoint! It’s incredibly lightweight, and as expected from a K-Beauty chemical sunscreen, it leaves no white cast whatsoever. The formula is airy, doesn’t feel heavy, and wears well under makeup. Honestly, this is the perfect daily sunscreen for anyone who hates sunscreen. The $22 price point is a bit high, but it's worth every penny.

Round Lab Mugwort Calming Cleanser – Retail Value: $17

I'm a big fan of Round Lab products, and seeing this Mugwort Calming Cleanser in the box was exciting. Mugwort is one of the gentlest, most soothing ingredients in K-beauty. The creamy texture turns into a nice foam when it touches water, leaving my skin feeling soft and without any tightness. This is an excellent cleanser for anyone with irritation or sensitive skin.

Elizavecca CF-Nest 97 B-Jo Serum – Retail Value: $12.68

Don't be put off by the robot-like name; this serum is a pretty cool product. It contains 97% bird’s nest extract, known for its anti-aging and hydrating effects. The serum is watery and non-sticky, which I appreciate in a hydrating product. It's a great multi-purpose serum for brightening, smoothing, and overall hydration.

Heimish Cleansing Travel Kit – Retail Value: $14

I love the All Clean Balm from Heimish and have bought it multiple times. Seeing it in this travel kit is super cute! The balm is perfect for dissolving sunscreen and makeup without irritating the skin. If you don’t mind scents, the mandarin balm is a must-try. The cleansing oil is a nice alternative, though I prefer balms, and the exfoliating cleanser is great for at-home facials.

Farm Stay Visible Difference Hand Cream Collagen – Retail Value: $2.80

As a writer, I hoard hand creams around my desk, so I'll never complain about getting a new one. A fabulous hand cream for under $3? Even better! There's nothing groundbreaking about this formula, but it's deeply moisturizing and keeps your hands soft and supple without feeling greasy.

SOME BY MI Real Honey Luminous Care Mask – $1 per mask

One word: LOVE! I've tried this face mask before, and I always keep one around. If your skin is angry or you've had extractions, this mask is like a reset button for your skin. It's calming and refreshing, leaving a slight luminous effect.

SOME BY MI Real Glutathione Brightening Care Mask – $1 per mask

I love SOME BY MI face masks because they fit perfectly and deliver results. This one has brightening ingredients that work overtime, but it leaves your skin glowing even after one use. It's great for prepping your skin before a big event.

Was This Box Worth It?

The Cost: $39.99

Value Breakdown: 

  • Sunscreen: $22

I’m already looking forward to the next box. Are you as happy with these picks as I am?
