Memebox #45 Korea’s Most Wanted Review – September 2014

Memebox Superbox #45 Korea’s Most Wanted
Price of the Box is $38.99 including shipping approx £23.77
No of Products in the Box – 6 items
Total value of contents in the box – £96.23
http://us.memebox.com/memebox-global

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.

Memebox #26 Hand and Nail Care Review – August 2014

Memebox Special #26 Hand and Nail Care
Price of the Box is $29.99 including shipping approx £18.29
No of Products in the Box – 7 items
Total value of contents in the box – £53.00
http://us.memebox.com/memebox-global

The Memebox Special Hand and Nail care is a curated box which contains of all the products you could possibly need to refine those neglected nails and hands and with the colder weather stream making an appearance this comes at the perfect time. Whether it be daily moisturisation or simply some indulgent pampering time, this box contains a good mix of products which will leave your hands and nails in perfect condition.

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 7 full sized products and focuses on hand and nail care products.

1. Barbinie Shea Butter Hand Cream – Full Size 50ml RRP £10.97

The Barbinie Hand cream comes presented in a pretty floral designed packaging and from the 3 scents which were available I received the White Lilly edition.

The cream itself is lightly scented with a floral fragrance and is enriched with shea butter and aloe vera to deliver deep nourishment helping to maintain soft supple hands.

The formula is quite thick and absorbs into the skin pretty well leaving no greasy residue. The quality of this hand cream is very good and despite having a rotten cold whilst I write this post I can still smell the floral notes.

2. Pure Skin Hand Care Pack – Full Size 15g RRP £2.43

This hand care pack comes in the form of plastic gloves and inside is a solution enriched with witch hazel, grapefruit, baobab tree, grape, olive leaf and collagen extracts to deeply moisturise and nourish dry hands.

You simply pop the gloves on for 20 – 30 minutes and then remove.

I love the concept of this and will definitely use this when my hands are in need of an intensive nourishing treatment.

3. Pure Plus Hydrogel Moisturising Nail Patch – Full Size pack RRP £4.87

When it comes to discovering new innovative products I can always rely on Memebox to bring them to me!

This pack contains 10 clever nail patches enriched with collagen, milk, pearl powder, gold and parrafin and delivers intense moisture and nutrition deep into the nails within 20 minutes of application.

I never really have time to care for my nails inbetweeen nail varnish applications and these are ideal to pop on whilst your watching tv.

4. Shara Shara Soft Hand Gommage – Full Size 50ml RRP £3.65

This is a gentle moistursing peeling gel for dry hands and works to remove any hard calluses and skin impurities leaving your hands soft and silky smooth.

The gel based formula is quite refreshing and light. You can feel the exfoliating beads which are really gentle to the touch and is not abrasive on the skin, Once washed off my hands felt much softer. Most hand exfoiliators I’ve tried contain oil based ingredients which feel heavy and horrible on the skin to a point where I just want to wash off the residue. I love this gel formula which leaves no traces of oil on the skin.

5. With Shan Dr. Care Set – Full Size RRP £7.92

The Dr.Care Set comes with a nail file to care for split, broken nails and a strengthening varnish to prevent further damage.

I’ve never used a strengthening varnish as my nails are pretty strong and very rare do they split or break however the nail file is really good quality and files the nails perfectly in a couple of strokes.

6. With Shan Baby Hand Set – Full Size RRP £5.48

This treatment oil is infused with lemon oil and vitamin E and helps nourish and soften rough calluses and excess cuticles on your nails and comes with another nail file however this nail file does something a little different…

You simply soak the nail file with the treatment oil and apply a little drop to each of your nails and gently file away any calluses or cuticles on the nail bed.

Unfortunately I couldn’t try this on my painted finger nails but my toes were at the ready!

Initially when I looked at the nail file it appeared far too abrasive to use around the nail bed area however when the treatment oil is applied to both the file and the nail it smoothly removes any excess cuticles with complete ease and did not scratch the nail bed in the slightest. I’m pleasantly surprised with this treatment oil it’s really effective when used with the file and most of all it’s much quicker then other cuticle removers I have used.

7. SUR 3D Nail Art Kit – Full Size RRP £17.68

Lastly within the box is a nail art kit containing a revolutionary magnetic nail varnish, a magnet and a vibrant orange nail art pen.

This was the item I was most excited about mainly because I wanted to see if the magnetic method actually worked. I applied two coats of the silver nail varnish to the nail swatches and held the magnet in the direction I wanted the stripes to go. Within literally a couple of seconds the design appeared perfectly and visible.

The second item within the kit was a nail art pen which came in an neon orange and whilst this isn’t a colour I would use, the pen itself has a thin nib which gives the utmost precision when applying.

My Verdict

Another great curated Memebox which is all things dedicated to hand and nail care. This box contains of all the products you could possibly need to refine those neglected hands, and with the colder weather stream making an appearance this comes at the perfect time. Whether it be daily moisturisation or simply some indulgent pampering time, this box contains a good mix of products which will leave your hands and nails in the perfect condition.

Beauty Pick of the Month – August 2014

Every month I pick my favourite product which I received in one of my Beauty Subscription boxes. This month my beauty hero is the Supergoop CC Cream sample which I received in my August Birchbox. It’s literally been my saviour this month and has simplified my make up routine with it’s multitasking properties.

A CC cream for me plays such an important factor in my everyday make-up regime whether it’s to cover imperfections or to simply achieve a flawless look. This CC cream gives you the best of both worlds without being heavy or giving you the dreaded cakey look and at the same time gives you the perfect base for setting the remainder of your make-up.

Supergoop, which is an American brand is a silky, all-in-one sun defense formula which covers imperfections and corrects uneven skin while targeting the signs of aging. Potent antioxidants and triple protection from UVA, UVB and IRA rays minimize the signs of photoaging and inflammation. This velvety cream comes in three self-adjusting shades to suit a variety of skin tones and is suitable for sensitive skin types. Usually products containing SPF doesn’t agree with my skin however this formula did not irritate my skin at all it was very friendly to my skin.

Supergoop strive to formulate products that you and your family actually want to put on: they are lightweight, never greasy or sticky and easily absorb into skin. Supergoop is the first and only prestige skincare brand completely dedicated to sun protection and is endorsed by Maria Sharapova as co-owner and ambassador for suncare as skincare.

I received the shade light to medium which was perfect for my skin tone and magically this CC cream adjusts to match your skin. This blended in very well and covered my imperfections thoroughly. I was pleasantly surprised how light weight this formula felt on my skin. It’s the ideal consistency for the warmer weather and a great alternative to using a full on foundation.

A big thank you to Birchbox this month – I’ve found my CC holy grail in the comfort of my own home and I didn’t even have to leave the house! Having always used a traditional foundation along with the aid of primers and setting sprays/powders, I now have more simplified routine which is effective and definitely saves me time in the morning.

The Supergoop range is available via the Birchbox shop here

Memebox Special #17 K-Style
Price of the Box is $29.99 including shipping approx £18.29
No of Products in the Box – 7 items
Total value of contents in the box – £58.49
http://us.memebox.com/memebox-global

The Memebox Special K-Style is a curated box which is all thing make-up and it’s aim is to help you re-create any make-up look. Whether you prefer a natural look or like to experiment with vibrant colours this box contains all the key items you could possibly need to create your perfect make-up look for day or night.

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 7 full sized products and features key make up items from the hottest beauty trends in Korea.

1. Bbia Pigment – Full Size 1.8g RRP £3.04

I don’t own many pigments mainly because of the mess that they make and if your a bit clumsy these could possibly be your worst nightmare! I most definitely tend to stick to palettes where the powder is secured!

Out of three shades I received the colour Sour which is the most incredible pearlescent bronze colour. The powder is much chunkier compared to usual pigment’s I have used. The pigment itself is very shimmery with glitter particles and is truly beautiful to look at.

As I expected this turned out to be one messy experience for me however if you’re a pro at applying these then you’ll be just fine. This applies very smoothly and has an amazing pop of colour. The pigment can also be applied wet if you want a more dramatic look.

2. Awesome Aqua Radiance CC Cream- Full Size 30ml RRP £17.68

Memebox do love their CC creams I think I now have around 3!

This is an all in one CC cream which balances out skin tone and covers up imperfections. The shade may appear tinted however once applied it blends in and you wouldn’t even know you had it on!

I mainly look for good coverage in an CC cream and this just didn’t do anything for me however it did give a slight glow to my skin which looked very natural.

The applicator is pretty good and comes in the form of a dispenser pump to ensure minimum wastage.

3. Secret Key Sweet Glam Tint Glow – Full Size RRP £14.63 each

Just when I thought I had seen the last of the orange lipsticks another one makes an appearance in the shade Juicy Orange. There was also Baby pink and Fushia Purple available.

Upon appearance this looks very similar to a Dior lipstick especially the shape.

This lip tint is a long-wearing formula and adds colourful radiance and a natural glow to the lips.

I pretty much gave up on lip tint as soon as I saw the colour however surprisingly this wasn’t orange at all. It was a subtle red tone which is very sheer when applied. Never judge a book by its colour springs to mind here!

4. A’Pieu Full of Nature Mascara – Full Size 4.3g RRP £1.82

I’m a big fan of mascara and am always on the look out for anything which claims to lengthen lashes without the aid of falsies.

This tiny mascara contains a setting wax and various grain, berry and flower extracts. Whilst the setting wax elongates the lashes the natural ingredients help maintain healthy lashes.

Retailing at only £1.82 this formula lengthened my lashes with ease and the brush is big enough to ensure each lash is covered. This didn’t clump up at all and I can honestly say that this low budget mascara is better than some high end brands I have tried. My only negative is the size and for a full sized item it’s pretty small!

5. Shara Shara Feminine Single Blusher – Full Size RRP £4.26

This blusher comes adorably presented with the inclusion of a pretty powder puff inside.

Out of the two shades I received Soft Coral which is a rich peachy tone.

The blusher claims to be long lasting and contains silica components. I found that using the powder puff with the blusher wasn’t ideal especially if you are contouring however I applied this with a brush and the colour is quite vibrant which can be toned down by simply blowing some of the powder from the brush. Whilst this isn’t the usual shade I reach out for it’s great for the summer to give a bit more colour to the cheeks.

6. RiRe Luxe Auto Gel Liners – Full Size x2 RRP £8.53 each

I do love a good multi purpose eye liner which can be utilised to achieve the perfect eye make up look.

These eyeliners are waterproof, long lasting and apply smoothy without tugging the skin. The last lot I received from Memebox were pretty impressive and these ones certainly didn’t disappoint either. At the bottom of each of the liners is a sharpener which works very well in achieving the perfect point for precision.

I received the shades Choco Brown and Champagne.

Choco Brown is a rich dark brown shade and is perfect for applying under the waterline to emphasise the eyes. I usually apply the blackest of black eyeliner under the waterline however this has a lovely hint of colour which looks natural and gives a good depth of colour at the same time. Normally by the afternoon my eyeliner smudges, needs tidying up and re-applying. This did not budge or smudge and could possibly be the best eyeliner I have come across.

The next shade which I received is Champagne which is a subtle pink shade and whilst I wouldn’t use this colour it would make a great highlighter for under the eyes.

My Verdict

Another great curated Memebox which is all thing make-up and it’s aim is to help you re-create any make-up look. Whether you prefer a natural look or like to experiment with vibrant colours this box contains all the key items you could possibly need to create your perfect make-up look for day or night.

I love that this box included a good variety of essential make up items and covered every aspect of make up. I’ve also discovered some great products to perfect my every day look. Inside the box is 7 full sized products which is pretty impressive too!

The box itself came well packaged in a robust padded envelope and I can confirm that no custom charges were incurred.

Total value of contents in the box – £55.53

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.
