KoKoStyle is a monthly K-Beauty subscription box from KoKoBox. Each box comes with 2-3 full-size products and also includes a variety of samples/goodies to give you a taste of what’s popular in Korea right now. They cover a wide range of different beauty products, including makeup, skincare, haircare and body care.

In addition to KokoStyle and one-time beauty boxes, KoKoBox also offers KoKoBites, a Korean snack box.

About KoKoStyle

The Subscription Box: KoKoStyle by KoKoBox

The Cost: $29.99 + free shipping. Save more with a longer subscription!

The Products: A mix of full size and sample size items ranging from makeup, skincare, haircare, and body care.

Ships to: Worldwide; ships from Seoul

Good to Know: This box will occasionally include skin tone specific makeup like BB creams and foundation, so when you subscribe you choose between light beige and dark beige. However, KoKoStyle acknowledges that doesn't work for everyone: 

“Korean makeup can be quite limited for darker skin tones. If you use a darker foundation, please send us a message and we will put an alternative item of the same value in your box.”

KoKoStyle August 2018 Review

This box comes with an info sheet with instructions (in English!) on how to use the products. I always appreciate the English descriptions, especially on a box that ships directly from Korea containing products with few to none English instructions.

MemeBox I’m Matte Lip Crayon in Blair, Full-Size!

MemeBox I’m Matte Lip Crayon in Blair, Full-Size! Retail Value $6.30

I wish the crayons I colored with were as creamy as this lip crayon—it is so buttery smooth and soft! This is packed with shea butter, jojoba, and argan oils and can be blended out for an ombre lip look as well.

Here it is swatched!

WithMe Awesome Black Pore Clear Pack

WithMe Awesome Black Pore Clear Pack

I could not find ANYTHING about this brand online, except from a random eBay seller who had it listed for $16.99. The instructions on this left a little to be desired, as it just says “apply appropriate amount.” I tried this peel-off mask on my nose where I am the oiliest, and I did feel like my t-zone was improved slightly after one application. I will add this to my weekly routine and see if it can help with long-term oily skin!

Skinfood Honey Mustard Skin Soothing Mask, Full-Size! Retail Value $22

I love Skinfood, but when I first saw this mask my first thought was “I really don’t want to do a facemask that makes me smell like a sandwich.” Luckily this has a little bit of the honey scent with none of the mustard scent, and I found it to be very hydrating and gentle on my skin, and this will be a nice mask to use when my skin is feeling tight from strong acne treatments.

Hanskin Gold Essence Sheet Mask in Red Ginseng 

Hanskin Gold Essence Sheet Mask in Red Ginseng - Estimated Value $4

I couldn’t find a reliable seller for this sheet mask online value is an estimate. I received an eye cream from Hanskin in my April Kokobox, so I was happy to give this sheet mask a try. It was non-irritating on my skin and I thought that my skin looked a touch more bright after using, so I am happy with it.

Bonus!

Also included this month were two cards of the mega-popular K-Pop boy band BTS!

Verdict: KoKoStyle is one of my favorite monthly K-Beauty boxes—I love the fun makeup and full-size skin care that always appears. I couldn’t find a reliable value for the black peel off mask, but the value of the rest of the box adds up to $32.30, which is above the cost of the box. I am sure the black mask adds another $15 or so dollars to the value as well.

To Wrap Up:

Can I still get this box if I sign up today? No, the next box you will receive is September's.

Value Breakdown: This box cost $29.99 and I received 4 items, which breaks down to $7.50 per item.

I am a staunch believer that pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza and when I’m not working as a family law attorney I enjoy hiking the Louisiana trails (alligator sightings are a favorite!) or relaxing with Duchess, my cat. I’m a sucker for anything labeled a mystery box and I’ve never met a bath bomb I didn’t like.

I’m glad to read that mask was more honey than mustard because that sounded horrible. Kind of like those joke Jelly Bellys that taste like boogers and tears.
