A Korean Beauty Subscription Box

Box Opening! :) 

There is so much to love about this subscription box! As ya'll know, I love my beauty subscription sample boxes. It is a great way to try out many beauty trends at a low price. You get to sample all of the newest and greatest and really expand your beauty routine. Well, this new Joah Box is exciting as it is a great way to jump into the K-Beauty trend! K-Beauty (Korean Beauty) products are so popular! However, it can be hard to explore K-Beauty because the brands are all new-to-me and not familiar. This Joah Box takes out the guess work. They hand pick the best of K-Beauty and then you get to try it out!

As you can imagine, I was pretty excited when the opportunity arose for me to try out a Joah Box. I am super excited to tell you what was inside the box that I got sent. :) But first, here is the scoop on Joah Box (from Joah Box!):

Have a K-Beauty Spa Night: Vitabrid Dual Mask

Affiliate Link Press Sample


Have a K-Beauty Spa Night! 

Have you jumped on the K-beauty trend? K-beauty, or Korean skincare has certainly gained Western popularity in recent years. Korea's skincare and health ideals of fair skin and healthy living and hydration align with good skin outcomes. So, it certainly is a benefit to anyone's skincare routine to add in some K-beauty products. I have certainly added some in to my routine and really love the overall boost that they give to my complexion. From serums, to sheet mask, to BB Creams, I am sure if you search around you will find a K-beauty item to fit right into your beauty routine. 

Vitabrid is a K-beauty brand that I already know and love because of their Vit C products. Right around the holidays, I started experiementing with their Dual Sheet Masks (from their Dual Sheet Mask Box Set). I absolutely love this mask!!! It instantly soothes, brightens, and plumps your skin and gives you a fantastic glow. Plus, it works without irritating my sensitive skin. Really, this mask is fabulous! If you have a special night coming up, this is the mask you are going to want to do to prep your skin. 

How to use:
Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and then pat dry. Apply sheet mask to your face and relax (I like to lay down) for about 15-20 minutes. After the time is up, remove the sheet mask. Lightly smooth remaining serum leftover from the mask onto your skin. This mask is generously soaked in serum, so be sure to not let that awesome serum go to waste. So, massage the rest into your skin. You will see and feel immediate plumping and soothing effects!


Here is the scoop on the Mask from Vitabrid:
The Vitabrid Dual Sheet Mask Box set contains 5 masks. Each micro-sheet mask contains a synergistic hybrid composition of Vitamin C & Peptides, creating an age-defying and firming formula that promotes the feel of increased collagen, replaces skin's moisture, and improves the overall look of your complexion. This K-Beauty anti-aging mask contains a new anti-aging solution, PEPTIBRID™ and VITABRID®, to provide a concentrated supply of nutrition (active, stabilized Vitamin C and peptides) and elasticity to tired, distressed skin.

Using a hypoallergenic micro-sheet, this soft, non-stimulating microfiber sheet perfectly adheres to the skin and enhances the absorption of the active ingredients by enriching the essence between the extremely fine microfibers. Skin is left feeling softer, smoother, and more hydrated.

What is the Dual Line?

As a new anti-aging solution with PEPTIBRID™ and VITABRID®, they are unique ingredients that have been completed with the world-recognized DDS (Drug Delivery System) technology. Vitamin C and Peptides have been perfected with the unique biotechnological power of Vitabrid to deliver it deeply and more effectively.

PEPTIBRID™: An evolved peptide delivery platform. PEPTIBRID (ICID name: Peptibrid), which improves the purity and penetration rate of peptides by improving the limits of 'Peptides', increases collagen synthesis and regeneration efficiency.

VITABRID®: Advanced biomaterials that overcome the limitations of vitamin C, which is easily oxidized, water-soluble and difficult to transfer into the skin. Vitamin C penetrates deeper into the skin in an activated state, allowing it to act for more than 12 hours. (ICID entry name: Vitabrid CG)

Features and Benefits of the Dual Line:

  • Effective Skin Delivery: PEPTIBRID™ and VITABRID®, which are key ingredients, safely transfer deep into the skin while maintaining the active properties of peptides and vitamin C, enhancing skin regeneration, elasticity, moisturizing, soothing and whitening effects.
  • Boosting Effect: PEPTIBRID™ and VITABRID® give powerful boosting to maximize the effectiveness of other active ingredients.
  • Deep Hydration & Moisture Retention: Provides deep moisture to the skin and maintains a healthy moisture balance.
  • For Sensitive Skin: It is composed of only safe ingredients, so it can also be used for sensitive skin.

Price $35 for a 5-pack, available at Barney's New York.

A New and Innovative Vitamin C: Vitabrid C12 Powder and Dual Serum

Affiliate Link Press Sample
@vitabridglobal   #vitabridc12


I love trying innovative products and researching effective skincare ingredients. Vitamin C is a proven ingredient to make real change in your skin. There are only a few skincare ingredients that I feel are "must haves" in everyone's skincare routine, and Vitamin C is one of them. Vitamin C is known to make skin healthy and radiant by neutralizing the damaging effects of free-radical activity from sun, stress, and pollution, and repairing visible signs of aging. However, Vitamin C is an extremely tricky ingredient. It is not very stable and it does not stay fresh for long. Freshness and shelf stablity is highly dependant upon how it is packaged and what other ingredients are in the formula. Even if you have a great formula and packaging, any Vitamin C product will not last very long. Well, Vitabrid gained popularity from its top product and the unique way to deliver Vitamin C to your skin: Vitamin C in powder form! 

K-beauty leader Vitabrid C12 is changing the way Vitamin C is applied to the skin. Their popularity has gained so much that in June, one bottle of their FACE Brightening Powder was sold every 27 seconds! 

Here is the scoop on the amazing Face Brightening Powder straight from Viatabrid:

Containing its breakthrough ingredient, Vitabrid CG, this is a brand-new Vitamin C complex, certified as a new material by the International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary. This revolutionary discovery stores and preserves active Vitamin C within skin-friendly mineral layers. Once applied, it releases active, stabilized Vitamin C continuously for over 12 hours, permeating through the skin layers down to the dermis. Simply mix the FACE Brightening Powder with water or combine it with a skincare product of your choice (any serum, essence, cream or toner) for a powerful beauty booster.

As a highly potent, transdermal Vitamin C powder, it helps brighten, reducing the appearance of melanin for a clearer, more even complexion. With twice daily use in the AM and PM, skin is also shown to maintain a vibrant and firm texture as the powder minimizes fine lines and wrinkles by promoting collagen production.

The result is a scientifically driven booster for nourished and glowing skin with natural radiance.

The concept is great for the Vitabrid C12 Face Brightening Powder: Simply mix it with a liquid skincare product (serum, essence, cream, toner) for a powerful boost of a proprietary form of active, stabilized Vitamin C that brightens & increases collagen. 

I love that you can just simply combine this product as a mix-in to the products that you are already using or loving! I personally just like to apply a bit of this in the mornings with my moisturizer (that I layer on after washing my face and before applying sunscreen). Super easy to get an awesome boost of Vitamin C! 

Directions: 1. Shake the bottle lightly. 2. Pour an appropriate amount of water or skincare product of your choice into your palm. 3. Tap the bottle twice to add a small amount of powder in your palm and mix. 4. Apply the mixture on clean face and neck in the AM and PM.

Price: $60 from Barney's.

Vitabrid Dual Serum:
Vitabrid's newest launch (available at Barneys) The Dual Serum: Featuring an innovative Twist-to-Mix bottle, the advanced design allows the two separate skincare serums enclosed in each bottle (one yellow, one clear) to be freshly mixed together upon opening. Offering stabilized, active Vitamin C and Peptides, they are mixed only prior to use to activate the ingredients for optimal results and freshness. What a genius idea! Vitamin C only works when it is fresh and stable and this menthod pretty much guarentees freshness.

To mix, simply rotate the bottom of the container clockwise to release the yellow Deep Care Serum and shake the bottle to mix it with the clear Skin Barrier Serum.

The Vitabrid Dual Serum is easily absorbed into your skin because of the hybridized Vitamin C and Peptides. The skin-brightening formula can improve tone, texture, firmness, and elasticity while moisturizing and supplying nutrients to the skin to protect it from external stress factors. The formula packs anti-aging and anti-wrinkle ingredients while also containing ingredients to keep the skin thoroughly hydrated.

Here is some more information directly from Vitabrid about the Serums Inside:

The Dual Serum encloses two types of serums: the clear Skin Barrier Serum (stored in the top) and the yellow Deep Care Serum (stored in the bottom).

The clear Skin Barrier Serum provides exceptional moisture retention leaving the skin supple and hydrated. The Vitamin C, peptides, and other anti-oxidants in the yellow Deep Care Serum inhibit melanin production for brighter skin while free radicals are scavenged resulting in an anti-oxidant effect.  The supporting cast of other ingredients is carefully chosen to conduct their specific roles while maintaining harmony with the main characters of the serum. This cutting-edge serum is enhanced by the synergistic effect of Vitabrid® and Peptibrid™. The core feature of these two technologies is the stabilized delivery and ready absorption of Vitamin C and peptides, which are normally unstable by nature.

In order to maintain a stabilized state, the yellow Deep Care Serum and the clear Skin-Barrier Serum are stored separately in this unique Twist-to-Mix Bottle. They are mixed only prior to use to activate the ingredients, maintaining freshness and delivering optimal results. The yellow coloration of the Deep Care Serum is due to natural pigmentation. Upon mixing, the serum will initially be yellow but fade back to being clear after about one month due to contact with light, heat and air. This is a visible indicator that the serum contains natural pigmentation and is best used within the recommended time frame while it is the freshest. One 10mL bottle provides a 10-day supply to ensure the serum is entirely used during its peak state of freshness.

Use: Rotate the bottom of the container clockwise to release the yellow Deep Care Serum. Shake the bottle to mix the clear Skin-Barrier Serum with the Deep Care Serum. Apply 2-3 pumps to the skin until it is well absorbed.

Price: $75 for a 30-day supply.

So which Vitabrid C product do I use more? Currently, I use the Brightening Powder more often as I can mix it onto any skincare that I am using. So, it is a great option for me. However, if you don't have a current serum or moisturizer that you love, the Dual Serum is a great choice! With either option, you know that you are getting fresh, stable, and active Vitamin C with Vitabrid!
