[REVIEW] Unboxing and Testing the GET K-BEAUTY BOX from Mwave shop

For the first time ever, Mwave shop is bringing you Korean beauty boxes for sale!

We′ve partnered with Onstyle′s Get It Beauty, Korea′s top beauty program, to bring you the GET K-BEAUTY BOX to help you look like the K-pop stars we all know and love!

The box is for sale now, ONLY on Mwave shop for only $40 - and it′s valued at over $100!!! We′ve only got 450 in stock, so get your hands on this box now!

But, we know you want to know what′s actually in the box - so we took the time to review the products for you! Click through to see what′s inside, and what we love the most!



Clio: Gelpresso Pencil Gel Liner Mini: The Color of 2014


Alright - on this one, we may be biased because this is a product we′re already in love with. Lee Hyori has been the face of Clio′s Kill Black liner for some time, but 2NE1′s Sandara Park is the face of Clio′s Gelpresso line - and we′re in love with all its variations.

This liner literally does not budge - it′s a gel, but in pencil form and, while the black version of this pencil does tend to smudge a little, the colorful versions give you a pop of color that stays put.

Don′t be too scared by colored eyeliner - if you have brown eyes, purple color on the lids is one of the best ways to make your eyes pop - and purple actually happens to be a pretty natural look. Plus, as you can tell, Sandara Park and many other celebs have made the whole vampire-burgundy look cool again.

Also, there′s five different colors (the swatches are, from L to R: Shine Lavender No.12, Frozen Lavender No.13, 2014 Orchid No.14, Bloody Purple No.15 and Blackish Orchid No.6) so if you′re not feeling one, you have 4 others to pick from.

The kit also helps, since you can just pop it into your bag and do touch-ups if you need to - but we promise - you won′t really need to.

Mediheal: N.M.F aquaring nude gel mask AND Faith in Face: Miss Invisible Pore Hydrogel Mask


Face masks are amazing. There, we said it. That said, there are SO many to choose from here in Korea - they come in different colors, packed with different amazing boosting serums and they′re the perfect way to help your skin calm down at the end of the day.

We′ve got two different brands in this box - one from Mediheal and one from Faith in Face.

Mediheal′s N.M.F mask is a hydrogel mask sheet that aims to take care of pores and provide moisture and clear up your skin. While this mask won′t fix your skin in one go, it′s highly refreshing, won′t move from your face and is a great way to make your skin happy for a night.

Faith in Face′s Pore Tightening Mask (2 in 1 box) also aims to get rid of your pores - now we know, nothing will get rid of your pores compltely, but this pask will help reduce the size and appearance of your pores. Basically, after you use this mask, somehow, you just feel like those dang pores have shrunk - or are at least, much cleaner. This mask includes witch hazel and salicylic acid though - so if you′re sensitive to those, be careful.


Code: GloKolor N. All-uid Foundation


These foundation products have pretty much taken over Korea - and for good reason. They′re super easy to carry around and touch-up while on the go, so many Korean beauty companies have taken to developing their own versions.

What′s nice about Code′s version is that you just have to press the small button on the bottom and the product will come up (in a cute star shape, no less), which means a LOT less mess and a lot less wasted product.

The foundation itself has UV protection (SPF 30) and promises to moisturize, cover, add glow, and even tone and texture. We′re not quite sure if it does all of that, but it does dry to an even finish, so you glow without looking so...sticky.


Dr.Jart: Bounce Beauty Balm 01 Light


But if you′re not feeling Code′s version, this box also include′s Dr.Jart′s version!

Dr. Jart was at the forefront of the BB cream sensation, so in terms of the product itself, you can expect the same quality BB cream. That said, it is a BB - not a foundation. It is much thicker than some of Dr. Jart′s lighter BB creams and the color is pale, but blends out fairly evenly.

If you prefer BB creams over foundations - Dr. Jart′s is your best bet.

Elle: I Say Tint You Say Gloss 03 Rock Berry


It′s a tint! It′s a gloss! It′s.. both?

Basically, you can wear this tint/gloss from Elle any way you like it - with a light touch, it′s a nice, but if you apply more and blot, it′ll remain on your lips (for a long, long time) as a tint.

The color is bold but not overly intimidating - you won′t be rocking a bright red lip with this, but you will have people asking you if you′ve just finished a strawberry lollipop. Which is always good in our book.


Shingmulnara: Ultra Light Sun Gel


Sun protection. You know you should do it, but you just... don′t. For some it′s the smell, for some it′s that darn white residue that just won′t go away - but Shingmulnara′s Ultra Light Sun Gel (SPF 30) is exactly what it says it is.

It′s a gel sunscreen (so no color, no white streaks) and it goes on super light. We can′t promise that there′s no smell, but it′s a light perfume, not that typical sunblock-at-the-beach smell.
