In the land of nod this is most likely the kind of beauty box I dream about! I’ve been eagerly waiting for the My Cute Wishlist Memebox  mainly because I’m a pushover when it comes to cute beauty products whether it be the packaging or the contents within my purse is at the ready. When this was launched I wasted no time in purchasing this. It really isn’t surprising why this box sold out very quickly.

 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. The contents within these boxes are a complete surprise and only one item spoiler gets released prior to shipping which is an aspect I like about Memebox.

 This box is all things cute, charming and delightful and features a great line up of fun and unique products which simply makes the heart melt!

This box included 10 full sized products and also includes a bonus sharpener. The line-up is mainly skincare and make up products.

1. Etude Missing U Hand Cream – Full Size 30ml RRP £3.04

Etude House known for it ‘s pretty girly packaging and uniqueness has made it’s debut in the form of this adorable Hand cream shaped as a Panda. This hand cream is from the endangered species series and its collection also includes a dolphin, seal, and a penguin.

The hand cream is enriched with organic olive oil and shea butter and is silky to the touch and has a delicate fruity scent which is really nice. The cream itself is lightweight and moisturising.

I love everything about this product from the packaging to the formula. I’m also delighted that the container can be re-used and filled with another cream once this one finishes.

2. a;t Fox Creams- Full Size 10ml x3 RRP £3.65 each

Who doesn’t love a cupcake? It seems to have taken over the bakery industry like a storm and these 3 creams in a cupcake shaped container are simply scrumptious and adorably pretty.

Inside the box is a generous offering of 3 different types of cream:

Firstly there’s a Moisturising Gyoolpy Gel Cream which contains high concentrations of Vitamin C which deeply nourishes and moisturises the skin leaving a refreshing lasting glow.

Next up is the Jasoyup Tea Whitening Capsule Cream which is a brightening cream to disguise dark spots and uneven skin giving you clearer and naturally glowing skin.

Lastly is the Black Tea Lifting Cream specifically formulated to address those black bags and creases under the eye area.

There’s a good selection of tea based creams to try out and again the containers can be re-used.

3. Pure Smile Punch Point Pads  – Full Size packs with 10 pads in each. RRP £1.20 each

These unusual moist pads printed with paw prints are tiny masks for specific areas of concern and deliver moisture to targeted areas. There’s two packs of 10 in this box and I received Hibiscus and Lemon Grass.

I’ve never come across a concept like this before and look forward to trying these on my feet which are feeling a bit neglected at the moment.

4. Etude Sweet Recipe Candy Stick – Full Size 2g RRP £1.89

This lip tint was disclosed on the spoiler which was released prior to shipping and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this. Shaped as a candy cane I received Strawberry Candy which is the one I was secretly hoping for out of the 3 which also included Orange Candy and Sour Lemon.

Enriched with bilbery, sugar cane and sugar maple this candy stick is a gloss type lip tint which moisturises dry chapped lips. The scent of the strawberries literally smells good enough to eat.

This tint has a great hint of pink when applied.

5. Pure Smile Muddy Girl – Full Size 15g RRP £0.60

This mask has similar packaging to the jam pots which you find in hotels and is super cute.

Within this pot is a wash-off type mud pack from naturally derived ingredients such as clay, mud and charcoal and work to soothe, purify and mosturises the skin.

6. Kocostar Split End Therapy – Full Size Pack RRP £3.65

When I first looked at this pack I was baffled why this was included as it didn’t fit the theme well however inside the pack is a cute polka dot hair tie which is used alongside the split end treatment.

The treatment contains 8 types of amino acid complex which works to prevent hair breakages and static electricity.

Inside the pack is a bag which simply goes over your pony tail which is then secured by the hair tie. This intensive treatment is left on for 15 minutes and doesn’t need to be washed off after the application which is great for a quick fix hair treatment.

7. Beauty People Snow White Special Edition Season 2 Eyeliners – Full Size x5 RRP £33.00

Within the box is a bright blue case with a not so happy Snow White imprinted on the front! The design grabs your attention straight away and the vibrant colours really stand out.

Inside the case is a set of 5 different shades of cream eyeliners. Each eyeliner contains tiny sized glitter pearls and really accentuates the eyes when applied. All of the shades have a great pop of colour which brings depth to the eyes and can be built upon to achieve the desired result

These are waterproof and have a long lasting finish I actually struggled to remove one swatch from my hand!

All of the colours are wearable and perfect as we near to Autumn. I love this set it’s really unique and definitely a show stopper.

My Verdict

I am really impressed and quite overwhelmed by this meticulous curated Memebox. This box is all things cute, charming and delightful and features a great line up of fun and unique products which simply makes the heart melt! Within the box features some great show stoppers and Memebox have definitely curated a well thought out box which was spot on with the theme.

Visually I was in complete awe and just mesmerized by all of the cute and charming products within the box. What blew me away the most is that this box includes 10 full sized products which is incredible. I really didn’t know what to expect inside this box but it’s definitely exceeded my expectations.

The box itself 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 won’t be lost in translation.

Memebox enables me to discover Korean beauty products which are not available here in the UK which make’s the reviewing process more interesting.

The contents within this box is worth £55.53 and the cost of the box including shipping works out to be around £18.29. It’s a small price to pay to discover these hidden gems. No silly little samples in this box!

This is definitely my favourite Memebox’s and look forward to receiving the second edition of this box which has also also sold out.
