The Scentbox Floral #4 Memebox which came in a series of other scent themed editions is packed with an all things floral line-up from skincare to body products. This edit contains a floral explosion which will transport you to a field of delicate flowers surrounded by bursts of sweet aroma’s to awaken the senses and uplift the mood. With Autumn in full force, this box sounds perfect to inject a bit of summer sunshine into your day!
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 offs. 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.
Now and again Memebox release these $15 boxes and recently a few make-up editions were launched, a couple of which are still available on their website .This box contains 4 full sized items and features skincare and body products.
1. Sally’s Box Friendly Cherry Blossom Hand Mask – Full Size RRP £1.22
I’ve not had the opportunity to try a hand mask from Memebox and was pleased to see this tucked inside the box.
These come in the form of plastic gloves which are infused with skin loving ingredients such as cherry blossom and shea butter to deliver intense hydration and nutrition to dry, roughened hands.
You simply leave these on for around 10-15 minutes and pat the remainder of the solution onto your hands after removing.
These are a necessity for Autumn/Winter when your hands are in need of a moisture surge and I’m sure these will come in useful pretty soon.
2. ESTHE Shower Colonge – Full Size 100ml RRP £15.85
This shower colonge also known as a body spray to you and me is a fine mist body perfume which is spritzed after a shower. I received the scent Floral Dream which is a refreshingly fruity and citrus floral scent however the floral notes are pretty absent from this spray but nonetheless smells quite pleasant, it’s wearable and definitely brings you a step closer to feeling all things Summer!
3. L’Ocean Feromonika Perfume – Full Size 10ml RRP £7.31
This perfume comes in a petite pocket sized bottle in the scent Paros Rose. I love rose scented products and couldn’t wait to get a whiff of this. The scent comes from a series of fragrances which L’Ocean have created for their very own trendy collection using inspiration from popular brands internationally with their own little twist.
Unfortunately this definitely wasn’t what I expected and not sure which popular perfume they were trying to imitate here. There wasn’t even any notes of rose in this fragrance. I found the scent quite musky and strong however this does eventually calm down and wears off pretty quick too! I’m a fan of sweet scents but this was very disappointing.
4. Secret Key Perfume Hand Cream – Full Size 30g RRP £6.09
I love hand creams so was pleased to see this inside the box despite owning a large stash already! This moisture rich cream not only claims to lock in moisture it also promises to give a long-lasting fragrance.
I received 03 which is the Orange Citrus Rose scent out of the six varieties which were available. The cream itself smells very floral and feminine. The formula isn’t greasy when applied and a little does go a long way with this cream.
My Verdict
Unfortunately this box didn’t blossom into an all things floral line up for me mainly because most of the items didn’t even come close to smelling like a flower despite the obvious theme being floral. I liked the products which are all very usable apart from the perfume. I would of liked to have seen maybe a shower gel or a body cream which would of provided a better balance within the box as opposed to including two perfumes.
The contents within this box is worth £30.47 and the cost of the box including shipping works out to be around £13.41.
The box itself comes 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 .
