I’m a little late to the party with the Memebox #77 Foot Therapy Box review however seeing as there’s not a lot of activity going on at the moment apart from the occasional restock I thought I would save this one for December. I missed out on the first edition of this box and snapped this up straight away when it got released. Our feet get pretty neglected in winter and are mostly snuggled up in sock and boots and certainly get less attention unlike in the summer. With the colder weather kicking in, our feet soon get dried resulting in cracked heels and rough skin. Memebox have curated the perfect box to slough away all foot imperfections and drench feet with skin-loving foot therapy products which will get your feet baby-smooth and totally renewed.
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. The majority of the boxes sell out very quickly so you do need to be supersonic.
This box is all things feet and features a great line up of key essential products to get your feet summer ready. The box contains 8 full sized items which impressively targets all concerns when it comes to feet.
1. Lassha New Cool Foot Spray – Full Size 150ml RRP £11.00
We all suffer from bad odour especially if our feet are bound to shoes for a long period of time and this foot spray will certainly come in handy to banish unwanted smells.
The spray freshens up bad odours and maintains good hygiene for your feet. It’s enriched with 100% naturally derived plant extracts and claims to also leave your feet silky soft and refreshed.
This has a really pleasant smell with a mixture of citrus and minty notes and feels really cooling and refreshing on the feet.
2. Purederm Callus Reducer Jojoba Heal Patches- Full Size x4 Patches RRP £9.20
No matter how much I file and look after my feet, the hard skin on my heels always make a come back. I was pleased to discover these heel patches from Purederm which is an intensive herbal conditioning therapy formulated to moisturise, soothe and repair dry, cracked and callused heels. It contains a rich blend of jojoba oil, eucalyptus oil and tea tree oil which penetrate deep into the hardened skin whilst moisturising the skin to prevent further damage.
The patches are similar to plasters and stick down pretty easily. I left these on all night and they felt really comfortable. Not really hoping for much the next morning I was amazed how soft my heels felt. These patches do a great job and I will certainly be purchasing some more of these.
3. With Shyan Professional Foot File – Full Size RRP £5.52
This box wouldn’t have been complete without a foot file and I was happy to see one inside the box.
The file has two different types of pads one being more abrasive than the other. I find that these work so much better on wet skin rather than dry as the skin is much softer when damp.
This works amazingly well at sloughing away any hard skin from the feet and whilst the pads are quite abrasive it really does an impressive job which leaves your heels feeling nice and soft.
4. Mizon Magic Peeling Foot Mask – Full Size RRP £6.74
I have always been intrigued by these peeling foot masks which claim to do all of the work for you however they have also somewhat freaked me out as the amount of peeling which takes place over a period of 1-2 weeks isn’t a pretty sight from pictures I’ve seen!
This Mizon peeling mask has the same concept and comes in the form of two plastic type socks which are filled with the magic peeling solution. You just sit back and relax with these on for a couple of hours and after a few days the dead skin will simply start to peel off and shed.
I just need to pluck up the courage and hope to give them a go soon!
5. Holika Holika Baby Silky Foot Mask – Full Size RRP £1.84
Whilst I’m still on the subject of masks this is one involves no shedding and simply just moisturises to give you silky soft skin just like a baby’s foot.
This mask removes dead skin cells and delivers rich nourishment to dry and tired feet. The liquid within the plastic socks contains a blend of shea butter, urea, peppermint and aloe vera to cool, refresh and deeply moisturise the feet. The socks are left on for 15-20 minutes and the remaining essence is simply patted onto the skin once it’s time to remove them.
I’ve not managed to try these yet but they sound ideal for when you’ve been on your feet all day.
6. Holika Holika Healing Nails Cuticle Oil – Full Size 10ml RRP £1.22
This cuticle oil nourishes, repairs and protects your toe nails and contains various plant oil complex to delivers deep hydration and nutrition into dry, cracked nail whilst soothing at the same time.
I must admit I don’t really use cuticle oil on my nails as I don’t like oil based products which simply sit on the nail bed.
7. Calmia Silky Soft Foot Cream – Full Size 100g RRP £11.04
This deeply moisturising foot cream is enriched with skin loving ingredients such as shea butter and macadamia oil which soothes, softens and repairs the skin.
The cream is quite rich and absorbs into the skin effortlessly with a very subtle fragrance. My feet seemed to retain the moisture even after a few hours which is great for a foot cream. I really like this cream which works better then some of the ones I currently use.
8. Tonymoly Shiny Foot Scrub Wash – Full Size 100ml RRP £4.29
This gentle exfoliating foot scrub is formulated with peppermint extracts, lavender, argan oil and urea complex which not only buffs away dead skin but also soothes, refreshes and moisturises dry, tired feet.
The scrub is really creamy and is packed with exfoliating beads which are really gentle yet effective. This works best with the foot file and I was pleasantly surprised by the results. The scent is very minty which has a slight cooling effect when applied.
Thinking about it now my feet always get forgotten about when I’m exfoliating and this scrub is the perfect reminder.
My Verdict
I am really impressed with this edit which features a wide array of products just for the feet. It makes the perfect box for winter where we usually neglect our feet and concentrate more on our skin and haircare regime. This box targets all concerns and includes everything you could possibly need to get baby soft feet . Memebox have hit the nail on the head with this edition and I think it’s even better than the first box. As well as targeting specific concerns this box also gives you the perfect opportunity to nurture and pamper your feet in the comfort of your home.
Inside the box showcases a great balance of products, all of which are very useable. What blew me away the most is that this box included 8 full sized products which is incredible.
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.
The contents within this box is worth £50.89 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 which have an incredible box value as majority of the products are always full sized.
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.
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 .
