BomiBag July 2020 Review
There was no information card included in the package. I sometimes find more information about the box contents on the Bomibox site, but they are not up yet for July.
Barulab Teatree Anti-Blemish Sheet Mask – Retail Value $2.50
Tea tree oil is really compatible with my skin and definitely a mild way for me to clear up breakouts. However, tea tree oil kind of has a smell which, thankfully, was not noticeable in this mask. Both the sheet and the mask serum are vegan, which is unusual for a K-beauty product although I’m seeing that more often lately. This one is also supposed to help with sebum control and I think it did, or at least my face wasn’t super oily at the end of the day after I used this in the morning. As with most sheet masks, it was also moisturizing.
Goodal Blueberry Infused Water Mild Sheet Mask – Retail Value $1.50
When I first started trying out K-beauty products, Goodal was one of the earliest brands I learned about, so this takes me back. I have always been happy with Goodal products, though, and this was no exception. The sheet for this one is made from bamboo and is really flexible. This mask includes blueberry extract; blueberries, being dark-colored fruits, have a lot of vitamins and antioxidants that may help fight free radical damage. This had a slightly fruity scent but it wasn’t specifically blueberry-like, nor was it overwhelming. This was pretty gentle and would be good for frequent use.
Lagom Cellup Gel-to-Water Cleanser (30 mL) – Estimated Value $2.69 (Buy 7.44 fl oz for $20)
I have said this before and I’ll say it again, but if you subscribe to BomiBag, you will get A LOT of cleansers. I’m still trying to work through a few from past months. While I am working from home, I have been super lazy with skincare. Cleansers, however, get used several times per day as I don’t like my glasses getting oily and sliding down my nose! This is meant to be a morning cleanser for when you’re not wearing a lot of makeup, to help clean off the oils your face secretes during the night (or else any thick creams or sleeping masks you may have used before bed). I think it is pretty good as gentle cleansers go; it does remove oils without totally drying out the skin. It has a light fragrance that just says “fresh and clean” to me and I like that it doesn’t contain any artificial dyes.
Nature Republic Bamboo Charcoal Mud Pack (150 g) – Retail Value $8.90
I like mud masks. I do tend to have oily skin and somewhat clogged pores, especially on my nose, even though I haven’t worn makeup since March. This mask did a great job of getting the gunk out of my pores and really only a thin layer was required, so it actually dried in about 10-15 minutes. It was also pretty easy to wash off. This has a couple of fruit extracts in addition to the charcoal and clay/mud.
Heimish pH 5.5 Refresh Water Clean Up Peeling Toner (70 mL) – Estimated Value $5.04 (Buy 250 mL for $18, found here for $14.40)
First off, I will say, this is gentle, because I got some in my eye (don’t ask) and it didn’t hurt, which is interesting since this is not alcohol-free. (For what it’s worth, I like alcohol toners, especially during the summer, although I know they’re not for everyone.) This has a whole lot of fruit extracts so it’s full of antioxidants and vitamins, and it also has lavender extract, which is calming, and tea tree oil, which can be pretty good for addressing breakouts. It does have both alpha-hydroxy acids and beta-hydroxy acids, so use a good SPF product in conjunction with this. At any rate, this seems very compatible with my skin after the initial few uses and there’s enough to really try out and look for long-term effects as well.

I don’t see where you can sign up for the smaller box, all I see is the $39 box, no mention of them having 3 boxes.
I sent them a message to see what’s going on. I have noticed some changes on their site lately, I think they may be redoing it and not finished yet. It’s also possible the sign-up window each month is different for the bag and the box. If I hear anything I will come back here and let you know.
I just used a Goodal Lotus infused sheet mask for pore tightening last night, and I really enjoyed it. I’m sure I’ve used Goodal masks in the past, but after a while most sheet masks start blending together for me, then I forget which ones I really liked, lol. While I didn’t notice any pore tightening effects, I agree that it had a really nice comfortable fit, and was very gentle and felt super soothing on the face. I have a couple more Goodal sheet masks in the line up for the next couple of weeks (one of which is a mugwort mask, I can’t recall the other, but I know it’s not the blueberry one in this box) and I’m looking forward to trying them. 🙂
Thank you Ragan for the review! I may try this sub. I love skincare and all these items would have been “use up with pleasure” for me, except the mud pack. That is what daughters-in-law and their girlfriends are for. So a win all around. Costs less than BeautyFix, and I would have used everything up in a month.
