BomiBox KBeauty Review “Nature’s Best” October 2024

This month’s BomiBox was all about natural ingredients—think coconut, honey, and fruit extracts galore! Everything focused on hydration, protection, and deep nourishment, which feels perfect as we recover from the summer sun. There were some popular brands in the mix and even a personal favorite I swear by. Let’s dive into all the goodies inside! 😍

For those who might be new to the BomiBox scene, it’s a monthly Korean beauty subscription that delivers eight full-size and deluxe sample products covering skincare, makeup, and body care.

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

Perfection. The box arrived in mint condition, with everything safely tucked inside—no spills, no mess (we love that!). 🙌

What’s Inside:

TOCOBO Coconut Clay Cleansing Foam (150ml) – $16

This one’s super interesting. It’s thick, creamy, and feels more like a clay mask than a cleanser. Now, it doesn’t foam up like your traditional cleanser—you’ll need to work it into a lather in your hands first, or it’ll just melt off like a cream. So there’s a bit of a learning curve there. 

Beauty Editor Tip: Since this contains bentonite and calamine clay (great for soaking up oil and dead skin cells), you can use it as a face mask if you’re on the oilier side. Leave it on for 5 minutes before rinsing for an extra-deep clean! 

AXIS-Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum (5ml) – $3.40 or $22 for 50ml

We got a mini version of one of the most popular serums out there. I’ve actually used two full-size bottles before! This thick, gel-cream serum has niacinamide, which is a hero ingredient for fading dark spots and smoothing texture. While I didn’t see miraculous results, it definitely kept my skin clear and helped control breakouts. If hyperpigmentation is your concern, give it a go. 

A'pieu Honey & Milk Lip Oil (40gr) – $12

Confession: I currently have 8–10 lip oils on rotation, so clearly, I have a thing for them. 🙈 But I wouldn’t classify this one as an oil—it’s much thicker and feels more like a balm. It claims to be non-sticky, but...it’s a bit sticky (in a tolerable way!). I still think it’s a nice lip hydrator, and it stays on for a few hours too. 

Nine Less Essentials UV Shield Soothing Sun Cream SPF 50+ PA++++ (50gr) – $22

Sunscreen always gets me excited! 🎉 This one is on the thicker side (we’re seeing a trend here), which I love because the hyaluronic acid makes it a moisturizer. The subtle scent is likely from the noni extract, but nothing too overpowering. While it’s solid, it didn’t quite crack my top 10 sunscreens list.

It took a bit longer to absorb, but the matte finish is perfect for under makeup.

COSRX Low pH Niacinamide Micellar Cleansing Water (400ml) – $15

Yes, yes, and YES! This micellar water is an absolute staple in my routine, and it’s even won acne awards. 🎉 It has Zinc PCA to help with sebum control and redness. It also strengthens the skin barrier and repairs blemished skin with madecassoside. Honestly, can we get this formula as a serum? 

Beauty Editor Tip: I skip the cotton pads and use it directly on my skin to prevent irritation. If cotton pads are still too much, you can add this to a foaming dispenser to turn it into a foaming cleanser. 

Farmstay Real Peach Essence Mask (1 sheet) – $2 or $11.21 for 10-piece set

I love Farmstay sheet masks because they’re so soft and they have a lot of serum packed in the bag—enough to treat your neck and decollete area. This one is supposed to help with dark spots and overall brightness. My skin felt super hydrated and plump, though sensitive skin beauties, beware: it does have fragrance.

Petitfee Dry Essence Hand Pack (1 pair) – $4.10

I tried it last November, and I even ordered a 10-pack afterward. If you struggle with dry hands, this is your savior. It makes my hands look soft and hydrated in minutes... perfect after a fresh manicure for that spa-day feel.

Was this Box Worth It?

The Cost: $39.99

Value Breakdown:

• Tocobo Cleanser: $16
• AXIS-Y Serum: $3.40
• Apieu Lip Oil: $12
• Nineless SPF: $22
• COSRX Micellar Water: $15
• Farmstay Mask: $2

At first glance, the box might seem a little light, but trust me, there are some gems here. The COSRX micellar water is my holy grail, and the Tocobo cleanser was an exciting find—it’s rare to come across a noncomedogenic clay cleanser! As for the lip oil? Meh... it’s good, but I would’ve loved a different full-size item instead of another mini. Overall, though, the box had some solid winners.
