I had two
Memebox packages waiting for me when I came home from the last seminar. The
first was the usual pink box in the usual pink bubble wrap. The second was two
pink boxes together in a ordinary cardboard box.
Memebox
Special #31 Earth & Sea Cosmetics
Ariul Spa
Water 24 Hours Moisturizing Refreshing Mist
Sweet! I’ve
been looking around for a new mist to go in my shoulder bag. I’ve been using
Recipe by nature Spray Water Essence, which seems to be the Holy Grail product
for half the bloggers who write about Memebox, but lately I’ve been wondering
if I tolerate it. I seem to get some redness at my lower cheeks/jaw line after
spraying it on. One golden and absolute rule I’ve learned from having sensitive
skin: When in doubt, stop using the damn product.
It feels
very light and refreshing. Has a nice scent too.
Dewytree
Mineral Healthy Sun Cut Loose Powder
Hmm?
Alright, why not? So far I’ve managed to avoid makeup products in my boxes
fairly well, but since this is more of a skin perfecting tool than “makeup”-makeup,
I might actually use this.
This is exactly
why I go for the Memeboxes instead of an ordinary subscription boxes: Although
Memeboxes sometimes are unpredictable (Like the OMG box that was widely
recognised for not being OMG at all, or the Hair&body box that was a huge
failure for me, or the shaving box that bloggers found didn’t have any actual
shaving products at all) there is still a certain theme to them and you can
avoid things you don’t want, such as too much makeup.
Elizavecca
Milky Piggy Elastc Pore Mask Cleansing Foam
…Spider
extract?
The Pure
Smile lip balm from the Vitamin box that I keep in my shoulder bag is awesome.
It contains snail extract. It creeped me out to begin with, but the product is
awesome enough to sway me. Maybe this will too.
Secret
Nature Volcanic Ash Pore Pack
Awesome.
This is the stuff I wanted from this box! It smells fantastically intriguing.
Shara Shara
Black Charcoal Mask
Awesome.
This is the stuff I wanted from this box! I have a drawer full of moisturising
sheet masks and now I have a single purifying one.
Tosowoong
Super Aqua Cooling Gel
You know
how some products just feels like quality? Like the materials are heavy and
well made? This one does. Little bit out of season for cooling gel though! I
might save this for next summer. Hmm!
Memebox
#41: Jackpot box
The cardboard box with
the two pink boxes in confused me a lot. Like, embarrassingly much. Neither
contained a little product sheet like they usually did, so I crosschecked my
order-list. The only one that had shipped out was the scrub-box and it left me really
confused.
After way
too much confusion I figured out it was the Jackpot box I had received, just
distributed in two pink boxes.
I got the
4th place price (Along with 49 other buyers) box:
What I
received:
Amini
vitamin shower body soap bar
Bah. Now I
have two of this exact bar soap. Same colour and everything.
Care Lily
& Lilac fabric refresher
Now I have
two fabric perfumes. Funny, I knew these things exist, but I never thought of
buying one. Does anyone know if you can mix them in the last cycle of your
laundry? I want to do that instead of spraying it on my clothes more or less
randomly.
Carestory
collagen ampoule 200
First
thought of this: What a silly and gimmicky little thing trying to look like a
medicine ampoule. Even has the right opening function with a membrane for
sticking a syringe through.
Cotterang
JJoyy Bubble Peeling Pad
It seems to
be an exfoliating pad. Will be fun to try one that bubbles!
Davi Napa
Cream le grand cru
A super
fancy tiny little cream. Something about this little thing just grinds my
gears: It looks too adult, too serious, too fancy, too “You couldn’t afford the
real size of me” (It’s a sample size, not full). I can’t wait to try this,
notice the lack of effect and scoff at its fanciness. Yeah, I can be petty that
way.
Evas
Vitamin Sun Cream SPF38 PA++
I have one
of these already and keep it in my shoulder bag. I’m not particularly impressed
with this one: It seems very whitening and leaves a residue too thick for my
skin type.
Still, the
product looks more fun and less serious, so it will probably go into my bag
when I’ve used the old one up.
Hair+
Velvet Nutri-Injection
Some
intense Googling later and I know that this is a conditioner that can also be
used as a leave in conditioner. It would have been so much easier if I just had
my little product card…!!
I will
probably use it for my Nodosaurus at some time.
Iope
essential facial oil
Sweet! I
ran out of the last one. (Yea, you really shouldn’t do OCM with a fancy oil
like this) Although I do have a backup since I bought two Iope boxes, I don’t
complain about having a second one to store.
Iope lip
& cheek
Now I have
one I tested, one from the extra Iope box and one from the Jackpot box. This will
go into my “Potential gifts”-pile.
Kan Skin
Bioen Aqau essence
I really
like essences. I’ve been using them a lot. They’re like creams, only lighter,
but you still give your skin a nice boost. I’ve actually gone so far as to slap
some essence on when I’m in the bathroom for non skincare purposes. Will look
forward to this.
Luna Wonder
Essential BB Founde SPF25
If this is
anywhere near my skin tone, I will like this.
O’sulloc
water +
This left
me confused: The rest of the box is so focussed on skin care, and then they
throw in a 3 piece sample of some diet water thingie? Yea, why not, but it
feels really out of place.
T.P.O
No-wash toner sheet
Cool. This
will save me having to apply my toner to the cotton pad before using. Feels
like there is a lot in here, so I hope the closing mechanism shuts tight so it
doesn’t evaporate.
Tosowoong
Timeshift toner
Very pretty
bottle! Looking forward to try this.
