JoahBox is a monthly Korean Beauty subscription service. The word Joah (좋아) which means "to like" in Korean provides a selection of 5 to 7 full sized K-beauty products. Each box includes a mix of makeup and skincare with a value of $60 to $100. The box is $35.95 per month which includes free global shipping from Seoul, South Korea. JoahBox kindly sent me their June Box for review.
The June JoahBox which has a theme of "Me, My Skin & I" contains 5 items. Also included is an information booklet with details on each item and how to use them. This is helpful since sometimes the instructions on the packaging for the products is only in Korean. A collectible playing card also comes with each box.
Farm Stay Aloe Vera Moisturizing Soothing Gel, 3.38 oz.
Retail Value $3.00
Free from mineral oil, artificial coloring, benzophenone and parabens, this cooling aloe vera gel is a multi-function product that can be used on the face, body or hair as a mask, moisturizer or salve. I like the pouch packaging which saves space and is easy to use. I popped this into my refrigerator and plan to use it as an after sun soother.
The Plant Base Time Stop Collagen Ampoule, 0.68 oz.
Retail Value $29.00
The star ingredients of this anti-aging ampoule from Plant Base is 76.52% of mushroom extract and syn-coll peptide which work to promote collagen synthesis, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while strengthening skin elasticity. It is cruelty-free and cleanly formulated. This brand and product is new to me and I'm all for anything that helps to increase collagen synthesis.
Missha Volume Boost Mascara Cara Line Friends Edition
Retail Value $9.00
Missha Volume Boost Mascara boosts the volume of your lashes with a long lasting, non clumping formulation that is easy to wash off. This special Line Friends edition features Cony the bunny and comes with a sheet of stickers you can use to decorate the mascara. There are two versions available and I received the one for volume. the other one is length. I'm happy about this since my lash serum has already done a good job of lengthening my lashes. ICYDK, Line is a popular messaging app in Asia and Line Friends are the featured characters in the stickers of the application.
RiRe Air-Fit Velvet Lipstick
Retail Value $17.50
The JoahBox team decided to include the RiRe Air-Fit Velvet Lipstick after trying out the brand's entire range of lipsticks. It was chosen for it's light as air, creamy velvet matte finish which is moisturizing with major staying power. There were three variations available and I received shade L03. I 'm not fan of red lipstick so I'm going to be giving this away.
Ultru Galactomyces Drylock Mask
Retail Value $10.00
Ultru Galactomyces Drylock Mask is formulated with 69% galatomyces. This is a big deal because galactomyces ferment filtrate is a nutrient dense yeast and byproduct of fermented sake which is also known as Pitera, the star ingredient in those expensive SK-II products. In combination with niacinamide, glycerin, betaine, saccharomyces, bifida ferment lysate, ceramides, adenosine and cholesterol, this mask works to improve nourish, revitalize and improve overall skin condition. I love sheet masks and galatomyces works well for my skin so I'm psyched about this mask.

The total value based upon the prices provide on the information sheet puts the contents at the box at $68.50 which is a good value since it exceeds the subscription rate cost. It's kind of fun that some products feature variations on what you receive. I haven't had a chance to try out any of the products but I'm excited about the Collagen Ampoule, the Galactomyce Mask and the Missha Mascara. JoahBox seems like a fun way to discover new K-beauty products.

So many great cosmetics- I am big fan of aloe :-)
I have this box and it's amazing! Especially the lipstick and mascara got me. I've got straight eyelashes and I haven't tried any mascara that doesn't smudge and makes my eyelashes look like they really exist - this one does!
Interesting beauty products. We keep in touch. xx
I've never tried a subscription box ever, chingu! It kinda sucks that the option for Canadians are not as good IMO. This one sounds good for sure! That mask...let us know how you like it:)
Have an awesome weekend!
This box looks amazing, I really love the mascara container, so cuuute!! :) Happy weekend lovely x
These products all sound lovely. I really like the sound of that aloa vera gel, perfect for soothing our skin. The mascara seems great too. I remember that you do not like red lipstick so it is good that you will give it to somebody, better than to let it go to waste, for it does look like a nice lipstick. All it all, this sounds like a great Korean beauty box indeed. I also cannot help but like how affordable this Joahbox is.
So many interesting products in that box!
Kisses, Paola.

Ah yes I have really good things about this box. It is a little steep at $35.96 a month but the products sound great if you can afford it, it is a pretty good deal.

I haven't tried a subscription box service for Korean Beauty, or any subscription boxes. I love the packaging of the Cony mascara because I'm a huge Line fan :D!

Oh, I would keep the red lipstick as I love red lipsticks :) But I see the content is great and obviously worth the price. Personally, I never have had a beauty box and therefore it was very interesting for me to see and read what is in this beauty box.

This is one cute box. All the products look so good.
I love that red lipstick. Keep it.
I really like the mix of products in this box, seems like a great way to try out Kbeauty if you don't know where to start. Definitely curious about that Missha mascara as well, I've really been into Korean makeup lately!
