The Memebox Oriental Medicine Box has safely made it all the way from Korea. This is an interesting themed box which is a favourite beauty regimen going back to ancient Korea. Oriental medicines were used to to revitalise and balance exhausted skin, giving a beautiful and enchanting glow. A box full of magical beauty products incorporating medicinal ingredients.
Memebox is a rapidly-growing, leading e-commerce beauty retailer born in Seoul, currently headquartered in San Francisco, California and provide Korean Beauty Boxes.
They offer a huge range of different beauty boxes which caters for everyone’s needs and likes and the good news is they ship to the UK and other parts of the world for only $6.99. These are not monthly subscription boxes and are available to buy as one off’s. They sell out very quickly so you do need to be supersonic however if you are already a Memebox customer an email gets sent to you to let you know as and when new boxes are released.
This box included 5 full sized products and 1 sample sized duo set and consisted of mainly skincare products.
1. D’ran Wonder Serum – Full Size 30ml RRP £18.00
This serum is made from 20 different Korean medicinal herbs such as ginseng, black hoof, mushrooms, licorice, portulaca and ganoderma and delivers abundant nutrients and moisture deep into your skin to erase those years off your face for a revitalized, glowing complexion.
I am actually giggling to myself at the last sentence I typed. if I was to erase any more years I would certainly look like a child. I have problems as it is getting into bars and clubs! Jokes aside the texture of this serum feels great on the skin and isn’t greasy at all. The serum itself is really light weight and did not feeling heavy at all.
Whilst this isn’t for my skin type it would certainly suit a mature type skin due to it’s tightening and anti wrinkle properties.
2. Chun Ji Heang Hand Cream – Full Size 80ml RRP £10.00
I’ve not received a hand cream recently in any of my boxes so welcomed this good sized one which is 80ml and will last for ages.
This hand cream is made from 110 years old wild ginseng extracts, shea butter and olive oil and is extremely rich in nutrients and it’s highly moisturising properties delivers eliminates dry and rough hands.
The formula is not greasy and pretty much absorbed into my skin straight away. It certainly felt moisturising and the scent is pleasant too. This could be my favourite new hand cream.
3. Hanhui CC Cream – Full Size 50ml RRP £18.00
Well I’m intrigued either that or I am a bit behind the times. I’ve heard of BB creams but this is a cream which works to even out and cover up visible pores leaving your complexion flawless. Welcome to the CC cream!
The cream itself is infused with red ginseng extracts, cactus extracts and galactomyces fermented extracts to make your skin soft and shine with a natural glow.
This has the texture of a foundation however when applied is quite pearly looking. Once blended in this made my skin look radiant and gave me a wonderful dewy glow. Not too sure if this comes in different shades but this matched my skin tone perfectly.
4. Donginbi Red Ginseng Aqua Oil and Aqua Pack Essence Duo Set – Sample Size
Just casually browsing through the product card I come across this Duo set and oh my god both these products at 50ml retail for around £164!
Now I’m super interested! This is a premium brand only found in Korean beauty department stores.
These products are effectively renowned for their powerful medicinal formula that smooths and locks in moisture.
I’m not really too sure if this would be suitable for my combination/oily skin none the less the texture feels great on the skin.
5. Purederm Korean Herb Masks – Full Size x2 RRP £1.64 each
These cloth masks are becoming quite popular as I have seen a few brands doing these types of masks.
I received two different types of masks – a hydrating herb mask and a brightening herb mask both for dry skin.
They are enriched with Korean organic herbs and contain a high content of Vitamin E and Collagen to maintain the moisture/oil balance in your skin. For best results these are left on for 15-20 minutes.
I do wish these were for my skin type as I would of loved to have tried these out.
My Verdict
My second Memebox and I’m impressed with everything from their packaging to the contents in the box! A box full of medicinal skincare products for smooth, moisturising and glowing complexions infused with wonderful ingredients.
You will also notice that the key ingredient used in these products is Ginseng. Ginseng has great benefits for anti-ageing and collagen production. It also helps to regenerate, tone, and brighten the skin.
This box included 5 full sized products and 1 sample sized duo set and consisted of mainly skincare products.
Whilst some of the items wasn’t for my skin type this would certainly suit those who have dry skin as the moisturising properties contained within these products are simply amazing.
The box came well packaged in a robust padded envelope and I can confirm that no custom charges were incurred.
What makes Memebox very different is the variety and choice of beauty boxes which they offer their customers as a one off purchase. They release a huge amount of boxes throughout the year and will simply leave you spoilt for choice. The don’t release any spoilers prior to shipping so it’s a complete surprise when you receive it.
The information about the products and how to apply them is in English on a card enclosed inside of the box so you certainly wont be lost in translation.
This box has enabled me to discover Korean beauty products which are not available here in the UK which does make the reviewing process more interesting.
The contents within this box is worth £50.00 and the cost of the box including shipping works out to be around £18.00. It’s a small price to pay to discover these hidden gems.
I’m already on the Memebox band wagon and have purchased several boxes in the past few weeks!
