Memebox #45 Korea’s Most Wanted has teamed up with Memebox Global and Memebox Korea to bring a curated box which is the best of the best in K Beauty and contains everything from skincare to make-up. I purchased this box mainly because I was quite intrigued by the theme and wanted to discover some exceptional Korean products. After all this does state it’s the best of the best!
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 includes 6 full sized products and features the hottest and latest trends from Korea.
1. Shara Shara Tinted Lip Gloss – Full Size 30ml RRP £6.70
Within this floral designed casement contains a Fushia coloured lip gloss which locks in moisture and claims to have a long lasting formula which lasts all day. I’m in love with the design it’s so elegant.
This has a great pop of colour it’s very vibrant and doesn’t feel like a lip gloss at all. This has more of a smoother finish and there was no stickiness when applied.
I love the shade it’s ideal for evenings out.
2. Make up Helper Pact- Full Size RRP £14.00
Makeup Helper’s long-lasting, super-sheer powder compact perfects color to create a smooth, flawless finish. Infused with white flower complex and green tea extracts for the most comfortable wear, it is great for daily use and comes presented in a holograph type design.
This is probably the biggest powder compact I have come across it’s huge compared to others! These come in a wide range of designs and I received the original in the shade Natural Beige which was the perfect match for my skin tone.
This doesn’t give the best coverage however if you’re looking for a natural finish and a base for your make-up this is great. It also has subtle scent of rose green which is quite pleasant.
3. Hope Girl Nail Travel Bling Bling Nail Set – Full Size RRP £8.53
I was delighted to see the Hope Girl set of nail varnishes having spotted it in a previous box which had sold out.
This set includes an stunning assortment of gold sparkly nail varnishes which can either be used together in 3 steps for more glam look or can be used separately.
The colours are all wearable and do require a couple of coats to show their true colours but I love the gold dominance in this set.
4. Blithe Pattling Water Pack – Full Size 200ml RRP £28.00
I’ve never heard of the pattling water concept and it appears to have the same principles as a face mask. Instead of applying this straight onto skin as you would a normal mask, you simply pat the liquid onto the skin once diluted with water. Unlike usual face masks which are required to be rinsed off this solution is left on the skin to ensure all the ingredients absorb into your skin.
Out of the three type of water packs I received the Energy Yellow Citrus and Honey and comes in an amazing size of 200ml.
The pattling water pack removes dead skin cells, delivers moisture and balances the skin to revitalise and renew.
I would of preferred the Green Tea edition as this would of been ideal for my skin type.
5. Pure Skin Ice Cooling and Soothing Patch – Full Size RRP £11.00
Having missed out on the Cooling Memebox I was pleased to see these patches within the box. Inside the box is 5 patches.
The Pure Skin Cooling patch is a bio cellulose patch for soothing and alleviating skin which has been exposed to the sun. These patches are infused with calming ingredients such lily extracts, menthol, glacier water, tea tree and aloe vera extracts which work to cool and pacify the irritated area.
These useful patches are great for holidays and will definitely come in useful.
6. Pure Skin Lemon Blueberry Rejuvenating Overnight Mask – Full Size 100ml RRP £28.00
I’ve never used an overnight mask but I like the idea of product which is left on the skin whilst asleep as that’s when the skin repairs and rejuvenates.
Enriched with various organic superfoods such as lemon water, blueberry and brocolli extracts the overnight mask works to create a protective and moisturising barrier which locks in moisture and delivers nutrition deep into the skin.
I really like this concept and it appears to be suitable for all skin types too.
My Verdict
Memebox appears to be at the forefront when it comes to delivering innovative beauty products, giving their subscribers a host of new exciting beauty products to discover. I’m really impressed with this box which features a great line up of products and includes 6 full sized products.
The box itself came well packaged in a robust padded envelope and I can confirm that no custom charges were incurred. 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.
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.
Memebox enables me to discover Korean beauty products which are not available here in the UK and their boxes definitely give you an opportunity to try out the latest beauty trends in Korea .
The contents within this box is has an incredible value of £93.23 and the cost of the box including shipping works out to be around £23.77. It’s a small price to pay to discover these hidden gems. There’s no silly little samples in this box!
Memebox have released Edition 2 of this box which is still available on their website.
