Memebox Global #14 Review

You guys!!!! I'm super excited to share this Memebox Review with you guys! This one is different from the one I've done previously. This box was graciously sent to me from Memebox! 

For those of you who don't know about Memebox, it's currently the #1 beauty box in Korea. It's not just popular in Korea but it's become popular worldwide! Memebox brings the most popular and best-loved products to you in a lovely pink box at an affordable price.

You can get 4 different kinds of Memeboxes. 

Original Memebox: This box comes packaged with 4-8 full sized & deluxe sample sized products. 

Memebox Special Edition: This box comes packaged with 4-8 full sized & deluxe sample sized products. Each box has a special theme like Cacao products or Honey products, Anti-Aging & etc.

Superbox: This box comes with only full sized products that cater to specific needs. Each box comes with it's own theme designed to target particular concerns or there's a collaboration with popular brands.

Luckybox: This box includes favorite products from previous Memeboxes that everyone ranted and raved about. It comes packaged with 4-8 full sized & deluxe sample sized products. 

As of right now, Memebox is not a monthly subscription. It's pretty much first come first serve so if you see a box that's popular and you want it you better buy it before it's sold out!

I've been ordering these boxes for months and I love them. This box is seriously one of my favorites though. They're a lot of great products in this box. You ready to see them?

1. Shower Mate Perfume de Whip Body Wash (2x 50ml, Full Size, Value $4)

I thought these were interesting when I first read the description. "There's no need for heavy perfume with these natural floral fragrances." I was sent 'Marilyn Red Fantasy' and 'Pure White Blossom'

I personally like these. They are strong smelling so if you are sensitive to heavy scents and perfumes these are probably not for you. The Red Fantasy body wash has a sexy, sultry, spicy kind of scent to it. The Pure White Blossom body wash has strong floral scent. I'm actually gonna enjoy using them. I'll see if I really don't need perfume after using these.

2. Sally's Box 4 Set: Love Recipe Apple Mask 20ml, Delight Ceramide Hydrogel Mask 25g, Delight Collagen Hydrogel Mask 25g, Delight Panthenol Hydrogel Mask 25g (Full Size, Value $14)

I love love LOVE masks! If I could do a mask everyday I would! I have so many masks now it's ridiculous! I can't wait to try these out! The Love Recipe Apple Mask is enriched with apple extracts that are meant to sooth and balance out rough skin textures. The three Delight Hydrogel mask contain herbal ingredients that deeply hydrate your skin. I will probably do individual reviews on each mask.

3. Beauty People Miss 100 Super Waterproof Gel Liner Auto Pencil 0.5g (Full Size, Value $38)

You can never have enough eyeliner. Especially shimmery eye liner. This is a gel liner so it applies on smoothly. Out of the 3 colors I was sent Glimmer Bronze. This is a nice shimmery golden bronze color. Perfect to make a simple or smudged out look. 

4. VOV Goodbye Black Smudge Waterproof Mascara No. 1 Lash Proof Mascara 9g (Full Size, Value $19)

You can't finish an eye look without mascara. These boxes were sent with either a mascara or an eye liner. I was sent the Lash Proof Mascara. This mascara's brush is triangularly shaped and is meant to cover every inch of your lashes, especially the roots of your lashes. I have my go to mascara which is 'They're Real Mascara' by Benefit, so no mascara really compares to that, in my opinion. The brushes bristles of this mascara are too short for me but I'm sure my mom will like it.

As you can see in the picture, the eye on the left has the mascara on, but the right eye does not. Sorry for my mean scowl. 

5. Kocostar 4 Package Set: Ggongji Hair Pack 8ml, Face Spot Mirror Patch - 36 Patches, 5 Finger Nail Pack - 1 set, Foot Peeling Pack - 1 set (Full Size, Value $20)

This pack is lots of fun! The hair pack is meant to help mend your split ends. I'm assuming it will wet your hair. I'm excited to use this cuz my ends have been a bit dry ever since I dyed my hair. The Face Spot Mirror Patches are meant to treat blemishes and spots on your face. It has a little mirror in the package (Too cute!) The Nail Pack is meant to moisturize, protect and add more shine and elasticity to your nails. It's a mini spa day for your nails. The Foot Peeling Pack is exactly what it's name is. I've used one of these packs before. My dead skin didn't shed as much as it claimed it would. (I know, gross) Maybe this pack will be different. $20 for all of this is a pretty good deal.

6. Sua Young Mineral Essence In Liquid Foundation SPF33 +++ 5g (Sample Product, Full Sized Product is $34)

This liquid foundation is meant to be in between the thickness of a BB cream and lightness of a CC cream. It's meant to cover up skins imperfections and have a long lasting finish. The color is a bit too light for me. Even with my pale winter skin. I personally don't care for the texture of this foundation. It's a bit sticky. I'm not sure if its because of the 'essence' in the foundation or what. But everyone is different, so what doesn't work for me might work for you. 

7. Recipe By Nature Golden Time Vita Capsule Essence 40ml (Full Size, Value $42)

I love this brand and have been so excited to use this essence. If any of you follow a Korean Skin Care Regiment you most likely use some form of essence in your routine. This essence has vitamin capsules in it. They're meant to deeply nourish your skin, balance out the oil and moisture level of your skin, brighten darkened skin tones and even out rough skin textures. You have to shake the bottle to mix up the formula. There is oil in it so it feels a bit heavy on the skin so I would probably only use this at night. It does leave my skin feeling smooth and it has a nice citrusy smell. 

8. a;t fox Fantasy Holic Lip & Cheek Designer Pencil (Full Size, Value $7)

I love a good combo! This is a 2 in 1 pencil. You can use it as a lipstick or blush. This formula glides on smoothly. I was sent the Sweet Orange Color. This is a perfect on the go item, to make a quick and easy look, especially if you're in a hurry.

You guys this is a lovely box. The approximate value of this box is about $150.00 Amazing!!! This box like other boxes was pretty great. Even though this box is no longer available you can still get plenty of awesome boxes right now on Memebox.com Here's some options below.

Reviews and Much More....Coming Soon

I apologize...I have been so busy it's not even funny! I've been working like a crazy person and I've been trying to have somewhat of a social life instead of just coming home and watching Netflix (Most of the time it watches me because I usually fall asleep I'm so exhausted)

I have so many different products I would love to share with you. I have purchased a lot of different products especially since I started working at Sephora. I can't wait to share my new finds with you all. 

I'm also working on my first EP album. My friend/producer and I are trying to finish this project soon so everyone can start listening to good music again. There will be more details on that coming soon.

I have some Memeboxes coming in the next couple of weeks. I have an Urban Decay Electric Palette review coming soon. I have another Etude House Pink Bird Pink Box Review coming soon. (I'm super geeked about it you guys!) And I have some fun OMG lip stains from Korea coming soon. 

Hope you are having a great summer! (It went by so fast right?)

Stay Sweet!

Memebox #7 Review

So, this Memebox #7 review is long overdue. I'm sorry I made you guys wait so long. My unboxing video of this box has been up on Youtube for a bit so if you haven't already seen it you can watch it here.

This was the first Memebox I had bought so I was super excited when it finally came. For those of you who don't know what Memebox is, I'll explain.

Memebox is a Korean subscription box, equivalent to Birchbox or Ipsy but without the subscription. You don't have to subscribe every month like other subscription boxes. It's first come first serve. (And they sell out pretty fast so I would sign up for email notifications to know when new boxes are for sale) Regular Memeboxes are $23.00 a month plus $6.99 for Standard Shipping ($25.99 for Express Shipping). There are also Luckyboxes, which consist of best rated products from previous Memeboxes. Those are also $23.00. SuperBoxes consist of all full sized products. They usually have a theme for example SuperBox #3 was a hydration box filled with products to hydrate your skin. They also have SuperBoxes with products from only one brand like The Face Shop or Missha. 

I think Memebox is great because you get good quality sized products for a great price! Some products they give you are full sized and they are normally priced at $40 or up. What a steal right?!

Most Memeboxes come in sealed plastic wrapping and when you open it, you're greeted by this lovely pink box!

They always have a product description sheet because some items only have Korean on them. (I will learn Korean one day! I will!) This box came with six lovely items!

1. Missenscene 2x Curl Essence 30ml (Full Sized Product 150ml $10)

This is pretty much a leave in conditioner. This product is super hydrating and it smells wonderful. (I couldn't stop smelling my hair!) It doesn't leave a weird film on your hair like some leave in conditioners do. It's perfect. If you ever get the chance to buy it, I would do so. $10 is not bad! I paid $25 once for some hair conditioner and it did nothing for my hair :-/

You guys, I love this product and I really want the full sized one because it makes my hair feel so soft and it makes my hair so much more manageable! I usually wear my hair straight for two weeks and then end up washing it and wearing it curly for a month! I try not to use heat on my hair unless I absolutely have to. I have tried so many different conditioners and leave in conditioners (natural hair people problems...) but this one works so great on my hair. I have been looking all over for the full sized product and haven't found it yet. (If you find it, please tell me!) Luckily this was also one of the items in my LuckyBox #2 that I just received last week so it should hold me off until I find the full sized product. 

2. Leaders Insolution BIO Medi-Curing Mask Aqua Dressing 20ml (Full Sized Product 20ml $3)

These masks caught my attention because they contain coconut jelly in them. I thought that was interesting. Anything with coconut in it interests me because it's so good for you. This mask is very hydrating and has a lot of extra liquid in it even after you take the mask out of the pouch.

The downfall of this product (and someone warned me about this) is that the actual mask paper is so thick that it's difficult to keep on your face. (I took pictures of myself with the mask on but I look like a serial killer so I won't post them! LOL!)

UPDATE: According to my friend Rebecca from Hello Pretty Bird, there are two plastic layers covering the mask. The mask is sandwiched in the middle of these two layers. I received another one of these masks in my Luckybox #2 so I'm gonna have to apply it right this time. So disregard what I said up above.

3. Dr. G BIO-RTx Mentor Cream 5 (For Dry Skin) 20ml (Full Sized Product 50ml $35)

This is another favorite product of mine and I now use it everyday. These come in three different creams, Cream 7 for sensitive/acne prone skin, Cream 5 for dry skin and Cream 3 for oily skin. Memebox sent them out at random in each box. I have combination skin and it tends to become very dry in the winter so the one I got worked out great for me. 

This cream is slightly thick and is very creamy. It's too thick for me to use during the day so I use it at night as a night cream. I wake up feeling great because my skin feels so hydrated. A little definitely goes a long way. I love it and when I run out I'm going to need to buy the full sized product.

4. a:t fox Black Tea Makeup Designer Kit (Full Sized Product $23)

This was another full sized product featured in this box. The packaging is super cute!

This came with three eye liner pencils, one liquid eyeliner pencil, a lip and cheek pencil and nail decal stickers. 

The eye pencils are ok. I personally prefer more of a gel pencil liner or liquid liners. I kind of stopped using regular eye pencils awhile back. My mom likes to take my gel/liquid liners though so I've given these to her so she can stop using mine! LOL!

5. Recipe by Nature Slowganic Cleanse in Lemon, Green Tea & Adlay (Full Sized Product $18)

RE:CIPE by Nature is a skincare/cosmetics line in Korea that use natural/organic ingredients to make their products. These are sample sized products of the full sized products. Although on the product description sheet it says the full sized product is $40 you can get the Lemon Cleanser for $18 at Memebox.com

These products remind me of the vegan products from Lush. After wetting your face, you pinch a bit of product and spread it across your face using circular motions to cleanse your face. It left my skin feeling rather soft and smooth. I plan on buying the Lemon Cleanser once these sample sized products run out. I alternate between these and my White Tree Snow Exfoliating Scrub from The Face Shop.

6. Cartin Natural 100 Mineral Sun Kill SPF 42 PA++ 12g (Full Sized Product 12g $38)

That's a mouthful isn't it?! I had the hardest time saying all of it on my unboxing video! LOL! This is a makeup powder & sunscreen. Another Full Sized Product. This is originally $38 you guys! The applicator of this product is pretty cool. The pad is connected to the cap covering the product. 

You just dip the applicator into the product and blend it into your skin. It's a bit light on me but once I blend it properly it looks good on my skin. As you can see in the picture below I didn't blend it too well. Oops.

So that's it guys! Six products, three of them being full sized products. Such a great deal! I'm very happy with this Memebox. Unfortunately it's sold out and has been for a long time. Sometimes they do restock previous Memeboxes so make sure to sign up for their email newsletter to know of the latest Memeboxes. available.  If you haven't signed up for Memebox already you should. You get 2 Memepoints just for signing up. These are equivalent to dollars, 2 Memepoints = $2.00 You can sign up here. You can use these when purchasing boxes or products.

I just received my LuckyBox #2 so that review will be coming soon. I hope you enjoyed this review. Did you get this Memebox? If so, did you like the products as well? Have you received any other Memeboxes and have reviews of them on your site/blog? If so leave a link below and I will gladly read them! (I love reading product reviews by others, weird right?!)
