Igor delivers: A review of the zero cosmetics
Memebox.
When I
first saw it on the site, I was pretty excited. But I changed my mind like the
second after I ordered this thing. It sounded good: No nasty chemicals, no
nasty questionable ingredients. Yep, could be good for my sensitive skin.
But on the
other hand: Natural products are usually stuffed full of aloe vera. I can’t
tolerate aloe vera. Also, I often find that “natural” products have a bunch of
essential oils in them too and they aren’t necessarily kind to sensitive skin.
Well, it
arrived and I wasn’t particularly impressed.
In the
back
All Nature
Organic Mask Sheets. 4 of these: Blueberry, broccoli, black bean and huttuynia
cordata.
I was amused at the choices of vegetables. Blueberry is a “superfood”, I know. But broccoli and black bean? Yea, okay why not. The last one was new to me though, so I checked Wikipedia. In English, it is known as lizard tail, chameleon plant, heartleaf, fishwort, and bishop's weed. That’s a lot of names! But alright, why not. Some exotic plant thingie. No problem.

Innerface
Shy Blossom Soothing Serum. Ugh. Aloe-effing-vera. Great. This one is going in
the pile of things I need to sell, trade or give away.
Papa Recipe
Bombee Soap. Bar soap for the face. Eh… Maybe I’ll use it as a hand soap. Eventually.
Easydew
Fresh Milk Sunblock SPF50. So far the product that made the most happy and it
is only a sample size? Too bad. A sunblock with no nasties in it? Nice. I would want the full size.

Friend SaeHanuel Eye and Nourishing Cream. Haven’t tried this one yet, but
since I have the Iope eye cream that I love and even have one of still
unopened, this will go to the bottom of my to try-list.
My personal
Memebox ranking so far
- Superbox #47 IOPE Box 2. I absolutely loved the Iope box. The skin products were wonderful and the air cushion the best foundation I’ve ever tried both in colour match and finish. I loved it so much I ordered a duplicate box.
- Superbox #16 Hair care. I haven’t tried the baobab oil or the Glam up steam pack, but the rest have absolutely been spot on and awesome.
- Memebox Special #10 Mask Edition 4. Even though not all the products were technically “masks”, I liked what I received.
- Memebox Special #14 Zero Cosmetics. Yea, this one just didn’t impress me.
Memeboxes
on my way
I have a
weird anxious anticipation of this one. It could be so awesome and yet, it
could be full of so much crap that I can’t use.
This one is
one of the few boxes that took so long to sell out that I could read an actual
review of it. So I decided to order it based on the reviews I’ve seen online. It
has a mix of inoffensive, useful and promising products.
This came
as a package deal with the K-Beauty Wrap-Up and the Hair & Body 3 boxes. Not
entirely sure what to expect of this. I guess it will contain some masks and
stuff?
I’ve been
so happy with the Korean facial and hair products I’ve tried so far, so I want more
hair stuff and to try some products for the body.
I ordered
this for one reason and one reason only: It contains a scalp scaling treatment.
I effing loved that thing and I’ve been poking around the Meme-site looking for
more ever since.
Sounds like
a good scrub and clean-mix.
Sounds like fun!
I had no
interest in this one, but just about every single review I’ve read about the
Whole Grain #1 has been completely and totally squeal-rave-love-amazeballs-“So when is the next one
out??”-type of posts.
So, yea, I
got curious and joined the hype.
I really do
love the Korean sheet masks. More masks, please.
I like raw honey on my
skin. Honey is awesome. So I wanted it.
*Counts*
Uh… 10
boxes. Whoops.
Don't be embarrassed I have a bunch coming also for review! :)
ReplyDeleteHey!! There's nothing wrong with ordering these items!! I spend hundreds of dollars on horse gear/lessons/equipment. It's all relative to what you do/need.
ReplyDeleteI'm very interested in their steam packs---was poking around the site last night. I need something for dry ends---my ends of my hair are rather parched, and nothing is really working. I suspect that my hospital stay may have dried my hair out, but my new growth is great!
Thank you so much for sharing such informative post.
