The Memebox Superbox #42 Birthday Box has safely made it all the way from Korea. This didn’t come in the normal pink box this is the Birthday Box which came wrapped just like a present with a pretty bow. Give the gift of gorgeous for any occasion with Memebox’s Birthday Box! Packed with only the cutest and most charming goodies, this Birthday Box will perfectly pamper your friends from head to toe! The premium brand i belivyu featured in this box has the highest quality total spa care products and is suitable for all ages. What a lovely and different concept with this box compared to their usual boxes. This box shouts out “unwrap and open me”!

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 themed 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 7 full sized products and consisted of mainly bath and body products.

1.    i belivyu Cube Sparkling Lemon Sugar Scrub – Full Size 8g RRP £15.00

Upon opening the box out comes a luxurious glass tube containing 7 cute yellow cubes which visually look like sugar cubes. These cubes are a scrub for the face and body and contains sugar grains filled with vitamins, minerals and baking soda. This is used to eliminate skin waste as well as dead skin cells and clogged pores leaving your skin moisturised and supple. These cubes are pleasantly scented with lemon oil and lemon extracts for maintaining a cleaner, natural glowing complexion.

The tube contained 7 sugar scrub cubes which are good sized. To ensure maximum usage I would probably use half a cube for the face and 1 cube for the body. These can also be used when having a bath – simply pop 4-5 cubes into the water.

This product gives you an all body spa experience and I will certainly be trying these out over the weekend.

2.   i belivyu Powder Wash Vitamin Face Cleanser – Full Size 70g RRP £15.00

Another luxurious glass tube containing a refreshing powder-type facial cleanser bursting with vitamins, granol particles and papaine enzymes to thoroughly eliminate all skin residue and impurities. This cleanser includes ingredients such as macadamia and olive oil delivering deep hydration to the skin.

This very generous sized bottle smells wonderful and quite aromatic very similar to the smells you would discover in a spa.

Due to the oils contained in this product I won’t be trying this out but I’m sure someone will be happy to take this off my hands.

3.   i belivyu All in One Hair and Body Wash – Full Size 250ml RRP £8.00

This is an all in one hair and body wash which is rich in apricot, carrot, green tea, chamomile, rosemary and gold extracts and smells heavenly in fact it smells good enough to eat!

A gentle wash for a tip to toe bathing spa experience in the comfort of your own home. I love that this comes with a pump dispenser so much better then the squeezy bottles.

4.   i belivyu Flower Hand Creams x4  – Full Size 30ml RRP £5.50 each. Total Value £21.95

Lastly inside the box is a generous offering of four good sized hand creams elegantly designed with a vibrant flower on each. The hand creams came in rose, sunflower, safflower and Lavender.

These hand creams are enriched with vitamin E, shea butter, argan oil, organic plant extracts and four different kinds of flower extracts.

Being a fan of rose scented products I opened the red flower hand cream. This is pleasantly scented with rose extract and is a light weight cream leaving no greasy residue on the skin. The formula itself is moisturising and is the ideal size for the handbag or keeping in the office.

My Verdict

Another fantastic Memebox and I’m impressed with everything from their packaging to the contents in the box!  A box full of indulgent i belivyu products for the ultimate tip to toe spa experience at home making it the perfect gift for any occasion. This box shout’s out colour and vibrance as soon as you open the box.

I love that they only featured I belivyu in this box, it definitely gives you a good taster for the brand.

The box included 7 full sized products which appear to be on the higher end scale of the Korean beauty market and consisted of mainly bath and body products. All of the products were very good sized and will no doubt take a few months to get through.

This is the ideal box for a gift as all the products featured are diverse and suited for all.

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. They 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 £60.00 and the cost of the box including shipping works out to be around £21.00. It’s a small price to pay to discover these hidden gems. No silly little samples in this box!

 I’m already on the Memebox band wagon and have purchased several boxes in the last few weeks!
