MEMEBOX Valentine's Day #2 Candy For Me

Wednesday 25 March 2015


Box description -
'Whether you're single or with someone, Valentine's Day is a good day to be a lady! It's because it's the one and only day where you can get away with some indulgent self-gifts for decadent, self pampering. Because you're so awesome, we gift you something super sweet! A box full of candy-scented, wondeliciously made, and scrumptious-looking Korean beauty skincare and makeup goodies that will sweeten up your year!
Screw Cupid, who say's you need a valentine to get great gifts on Valentine's Day?'

This is my last MEMEBOX due to them no longer shipping to the UK :( Luckily this is a good one and has 5 full size products.


Shara Shara Berry Berry Cleansing Sherbet 70g - $14 (£9.40) exp: 27/01/17
'Sorbet doesn't just melt in the mouth, this Berry Berry Cleaning Sorbet melts on your face! It's the perfect filling to go inside your favourite chocolate, but you'll be able to massage this sinful delight into your skin! Designed to gently remove even the most stubborn makeup, the sweet cleanser dissolves makeup, impurities, and oil without irritating or drying out the skin.'
This really does smell delicious, a lovely berry scent but not synthetic. The card says to use this to remove makeup and follow with a cleanser even though this is a cleanser?? I use a separate makeup remover so I will be using this just as a cleanser.

Elizavecca Aqua Rising Steam Filler Moisture Cream 100g - $46 (£30.00) exp: 06/01/18
'Nope! It's not the filling to your post-dinner dessert! This moisturizer, aka Gelato Cream, is a sweet remedy for soothing and moisturizing the skin! It uses a unique steam technology to provide a surge of hyaluronic acid, minerals, and vitamins to instantly nourish stressed, dry skin. This ultra hydrating facial-in-a-jar has a chewy marshmallow gelato texture that instantly absorbs into the skin to deliver a powerful dose of hydration, and creates a protective shield over the skin to keep moisture and nutrients in and environmental stressors out! The results? You'll see noticeable improvements in the skin's texture and supple, refreshed skin.'
I'm not sure how I feel about a face cream being described as chewy marshmallow...This may be too heavy for my skin as it's not particularly dry but I will give it a go and if all fails I will just use as a body lotion.

Rappol Nutritious Bio Ampoule Mask 27ml x3 - $36 for 6 (£24.17) exp: 21/01/17
'These unique facial sheet masks contains sweet and savory pomegranate, and Cleopatra's secret to her legendary beauty, hibiscus flower extract. The micro-fiber material is saturated with a blend of sweet ingredients to help diminish wrinkles and fine lines and maximize brightness and evenness in the complexion for a youthful look all around. The intense formula delivers radiant results instantly, while reducing existing pigmentation for a breathtakingly beautiful finish. Who knew such candy-sweet ingredients will give you your radiant glow?'
I do enjoy sheet masks so looking forward to using these, they're to be left on for 15-20 minutes and the remaining serum patted in.

Lassie'el Kiwi Brightening Yogurt Massage Mask 12g x4 - $6 (£4.03) exp: 15/05/17
'Brighten and perfect your complexion with this sweet and refreshing kiwi and yogurt twist! Kiwi and yogurt flavors are extremely popular candy flavors in Korea, and can be easily found in candy baskets and gift boxes during Valentine's season in Korea. Now, take this sweet mix, infused with real kiwi extracts, yogurt, hyaluronic acid and Vitamin E to brighten, correct, hydrate, and firm saggy skin for your best skin ever!'
I like that these little pots come with a lid so you can use a pot more than once. I will use these as I'm sure my skin can do with being a bit brighter.

 Etude Sweet Recipe Candy Stick 2g - $5 (£3.36) made on: 26/01/15
'Enriched with bilberry, sugar cane, sugar maple, orange and lemon extracts, the Sweet Recipe Candy Stick is a gloss type lip tint that moisturizes and plumps up your dry, chapped lips for a long-lasting radiance.'
There were 3 shades people could have got, Seedless Strawberry Candy, Oh! Orange Candy and Sour Lemon Candy which is the one I received. As you can see from the picture below they give a very sheer tint of colour with the lemon one looking like it's got no colour at all. I will use it as I love lip products but it's just a shame the colour isn't a bit more well there.

Overall I like this box and will use everything within. I do feel some of the items weren't to the theme although they were 'justified' in their descriptions. This box cost $31.99 (£21.48) including shipping and if you are in one of the countries still able to get MEMEBOX you can check out what boxes they currently have here.

Did anyone else receive this box?


Book Haul

Monday 23 March 2015


I thought I would share the books that I have got so far this year as I always love reading posts like this.


Adventure Time Annual 2015
I got this from my friend for Christmas as she knows I'm a massive Adventure Time fan. This is definitely aimed at young kids but I will be using it for the pictures to put together my next tattoo.

300 best Homemade Candy recipes (Jane Sharrock) 
I got this candy book for my birthday and there is just so much in there to choose from. Because this is an American book there are so many recipes for things I've not heard of but am excited to try. I do love baking but I've not tried making candy before so I will definitely be trying out some of these recipes.
Happyslapped by a jellyfish (Karl Pilkington)
I have read this before but a few years ago and on my Kindle. Because there are pictures in this book I found they didn't really work well on the Kindle so I will definitely be reading this again. I love Karl Pilkington and his bleak outlook on everything. This book contains some diary entries and just ramblings mostly about the places Karl has visited. I can't decided if he is a comedy genius or just a very good actor.

The World of Ice & Fire -The untold history of Westeros and The Game of Thrones (George R.R. Martin)
I am a massive GOT fan, I never thought I would enjoy the books as much as I do and now I'm impatiently waiting for the next one to come out. While I wait for that I thought this book would be an interesting read and the pictures within are really beautifully done. This is possibly a book to dip in and out of rather than a consistent read.

 Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase & Fable 19th.ed (Dr Brewer)
I found out about this book when reading A slip of the keyboard. My love for words and random information made this book sound perfect. It was very hard to find this hardback online but luckily my local bookshop had a copy, my excitement at finding this was thankfully not witnessed by anyone else in the shop.
I can only describe this as being like a reference book. Although it does contain phrases, their meaning and origin it is also full of many other words and their usage. I can see myself getting lost in this book for hours. 

Bulfinch's Mythology (Thomas Bulfinch - part of the Barnes & Noble leather bound collection)
I'm a sucker for beautiful books and this one is ah just so lovely. My amazing photography hasn't really picked up the bronze/rose gold detail on the front. The pages are gold edged and smattering of pictures are lovely. This is made up of 3 topics - the age of fable (mostly Greek mythology), the age of chivalry (King Arthur & British myths) and the legends of Charlemagne. I love mythology, fairy tales and the like so I'm really looking forward to starting this book. I also have my eye on other books in this collection as who can resist a lovely leather bound book!?

A slip of the keyboard  - collected non-fiction (Terry Pratchett)
I love Terry Pratchett and this book was a really good read. This is a collection of non-fiction including his thoughts on book signing tours, his stance on assisted death, speeches he'd made as well as bits he'd wrote for papers. I really enjoyed reading this but then I'm yet to read anything of his that I don't like.

Nanny Ogg's cookbook (Terry Pratchett)
Anyone who knows Discworld will know Nanny Ogg, one of the Lancre witches. This is a mix of recipes and etiquette and having spotted the recipe for dwarf bread which needs black food colouring, I can't wait to have a read of this book. 

Snuff - Terry Pratchett
One of my favourite books from the Discworld series as it stars Commander Vimes. While on holiday he investigates a murder which brings to light other dark deeds. I love the City Watch books and this one is all the more special as it is a signed copy. 
Due to a rare form of Alzheimer's Terry Pratchett was no longer able to sign books by pen so a signature plate was made which gets stamped in the book along with his coat of arms embossed on a satin gold wafer.  
To have a signed copy is just amazing and this has taken pride of place on my bookcase.    



So there we go, all the books I have got so far this year. I now have the fun job of trying to find space for them on my over flowing bookcase....

If you'd like to see what I have been reading this year please follow me on Goodreads and if you have an account feel free to leave it below, I'm always interested to see what other people are reading.

MEMEBOX Special #69 My Pouch Essentials

Friday 20 March 2015

Box description -
'What's in your makeup pouch, or shall we say makeup pouches? Bursting with daily beautiful essentials, tested and approved by us, this box has just the right products to give you perfect touch-ups throughout the day, or help dramatize your look! No more lugging around heavy makeup bags full or unreasonable bulky products, just carry this box with you everywhere for your prettiest look every day because we got these box-ful of handy goodies down to a tee!'




Kwailnara Perfume de Moist Hand Cream Glam Savanna - 50g $4 (£2.64) exp: 06/10/17
'Infused with a musk floral scent and packed with nutrients from almond oil, shea butter, allantoin, and panthenol, this perfumed hand cream is fast-absorbing and replenishing with a silky soft finish. The chic zebra print design is also a fun, stylish addition to your pouch.'
The only thing putting me off using this is the musky floral scent, neither of which I am a fan of. I think I will probably pass this on as I do have a lot of hand creams already to get through but a good item just shame it wasn't in a different scent.

Hanskin Bio Origin Royal Ampoule B.B SPF30 PA++ - 4.5ml - $54 35ml (£35.66) exp: 06/03/17
'Hanskin's famouse Royal Ampoule BB cream is packed with rich nutrients from royal jelly extracts and it lightly glides over your skin when applied, leaving a visibly silkier, brightened complexion.'
There doesn't seem to be much in the bottle so I'm not sure how many applications you would get from this. I doubt I will be trying this out as I'm happy with the BB cream I currently have.

 Tonymoly Face Mix Cover Pot Concealer - 4g $5 (£3.30) made on: 08/11/14
'A waterproof and long-lasting cream-type concealer that flawlessly covers up signs of blemished and pimples. The gentle formula enriched with lotus flower water, marine collagen, and ceramide is non-stimulating to even the most sensitive skin and helps maintain clear, supple complexion.'
I think I will try this out, it looks pale enough for me and I always seem to have something that needs covering up!


 Tonymoly Crystal Stick Shadow - 1.35g $5 (£3.30)
'Perfect to be used alone or blended with other shadow colors to create varieties of naturally gradated eye makeup. It contains micro flat-type pearls, mica powder, and rosehip oil for a long-lasting adherence and color pigmentation that do not dry out the sensitive eye areas.'
There was also another colour that you could have got in this box and I would have much preferred that one, it was a champagne pink. I don't like gold so I will be passing this on.

  Witch's Pouch Radiant Lolli Tint - 2.5g - 4.5g $15 (£9.90) exp: 21/04/17
'This is a 3 in 1 must-have lip item that brings together the glossiness of lip glosses, naturally blending formula of lip tints, and the colourful radiance of lipsticks. It melts onto lips for a lasting pigmentation that instantly lights up your complexion with neon-bright colors - orchid pink, coral jelly pink, and funky hot pink.'
So glad I got this colour, I'm yet to try it but a really pretty one for summer.

Rosemine Vitamin E Lip Balm Rose Fairy - 12g $7 (£4.62) exp:14/11/17
'Sweetly scented with fruity floral fragrance, the Vitamin E Lip Balm is richly formulated from a blend of vitamin E, ceramide, rosehip oil and 7 different moisturizing essential oil. It coats over dry, chapped lips with a moisture layer to lock in the moisture and to protect against the external damage and dehydration.'
As much as I love lip balms I have passed this one on as I hate rose scents.

This has been my least liked box, out of everything I will only be using the lip tint and concealer. I think it's mostly the scents and colours of the other items rather than the items themselves that I don't like. This box cost $29.99 including shipping.

In February MEMEBOX announced they would no longer be shipping internationally due to some ridiculous reason I can't remember, apparently they announced this on their Facebook page, I couldn't see it anywhere on the website. Only countries that already have a MEMEBOX warehouse will now be able to order and the UK isn't one of them. This is very disappointing as I really did enjoy getting these boxes as they were something different to what we get here. I have one more box to show which luckily was a good one and then no more MEMEBOX. If you're lucky enough to be able to order from them you can do so here.



Are you disappointed by their announcement?



MEMEBOX Cleanse Morning & Night

Thursday 5 February 2015

Box description -
'If you want to achieve that beautifully radiant Korean glow, removing makeup is ALWAYS more important than actually putting it on! Rule of thumb is, if you spend 20 minutes slapping on makeup, you should spend the same amount of time, maybe even more, cleaning it off! Regardless of your skin type, cleansing is the most important step in the game of Korean skin care! Don’t waste your time running down the aisles trying to find your perfect cleanser  because we’ve curated the best morning and night cleansing routine-in-a-box to help you get glowing down to the pore!'

This was $35.99 which includes the shipping so I now realise I have been giving higher prices on my other posts....

 


Shara Shara Dream of Moisture Cleansing Oil 150ml - $13 (£8.68) exp: 16/04/16
'This effective, deep cleaning cleansing hydrates skin while it removes makeup and skin impurities. It provides essential hydration and nutrition for with sweet almond oil, avocado oil, argan oil, honey extract and more healthy ingredients to cleanse the skin's surface and renew the complexion, leaving it healthy-looking and refreshed. Ideal for all skin types, the non-greasy texture leaves skin feeling moisturized—never tight or dry.'
I don't think I'll be using this, after a bad experience with an oil cleanser I've been put off. I don't really want to risk another break out. 

Yadah Pore Refining Foam Cleanser 100ml - $15 (£10.01) exp: 16/03/17
'This maximum-strength foaming cleanser leaves skin tingly clean and refreshed. Formulated with egg white extracts, mineral water, and flower water this pore clarifying cleanser controls excessive sebum, removes dirt and oil living deep within the pores, and soothes and refines the skin. The results? Skin is refreshed and purified! Of course, there’s the added bonus of less likelihood of breakouts and blackheads!'
I haven't used a foaming cleanser for a while, I don't find them drying as some people do so into my stash this goes.

Calmia Oatmeal Peeling Gel 100g - $14 (£9.35) exp: 14/10/17
'This exfoliating grommage gel visibly rolls and lifts away dead skin cells when gently massaged onto skin. Its gentle oatmeal and honey infused formula helps to effectively peel away the dead dermal layer to uncover a smooth and fresh new skin! It also removes impurities and decongests stubborn clogged pores for a youth, radiant look!'
I've never used a peeling gel before, it sounds quite disgusting rolling off dirt but if it actually works it's something I can deal with. I'm yet to use this but I've put it into my routine.

Bory White Snow Toner 130ml - $35 (£23.37) exp: 01/01/18
'This professional toner contains naturally brightening and moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, licoric extract, and morus alba bark extract to help clarify and brighten up the overall complexion. It contains arbutin, which inhibits the formation of melanin, to help prevent pigmentation and dark spots, and also contains propriety Lipidure to hydrate the skin, leaving skin clear, moist and healthy.'
I like the sound of preventing pigmentation so once I've got through a bee tox toner this will be next in line. I know products oversell themselves so I won't be getting my hopes up for this, it will just be a bonus if it does what it says!

Neogen Neoday Eye Remover Pencil 2.6g - $16 (£10.68) exp: 07/08/17
'This ingenious retractable eye makeup eraser/fixer instantly removes all traces of eye, including waterproof formulas, with its innovative double-ended tip. The oil balm tip uses gentle, non-irritating and skin-soothing ingredients to gently erase makeup, while the sponge tip helps to remove all residue and help tidy up around the eyes.'
Not sure how much use I will get out of this as I usually just use a q-tip to fix any eye mistakes. I will give this a go though as the oil will probably be more gently.


I think this box definitely follows the them, apart from the oil cleanser I'm looking forward to trying everything out. I like that everything has an expiry date far enough away to give me chance to use up the products. A good box with some interesting products.

Have you used any of these products?


Soap & Glory Drama Clean review

Tuesday 3 February 2015


This is Soap & Glory's offering to the micellar market and I have to say this works just as well as the L'Oreal one. It removes my makeup and doesn't dry out my face. The only bad thing about this is the smell, it really is quite off putting. It smells very strongly of cucumbers which is due to cucumber water being an ingredient. I don't mind fresh scents but this is a bit too much. I much prefer no scent at all when it comes to makeup remover, I was dubious the first time I used this as I wasn't sure if this would sting my eyes or not as the smell was so strong. I'm not sure if it is the cucumber again but when using this over my lips it leaves a horrible taste behind so I would advise avoiding the lip area.

This can be used on all skin types, it is alcohol, soap and paraben free. It's currently on offer for £4.80 as opposed to the usual £6 at Boots. I will finish this bottle but I don't think I will be repurchasing as the scent is just not for me.

Have you tried this micellar water?


MEMEBOX Superbox #79 Oh! My Lips

Sunday 1 February 2015

This box was $29.99 which includes shipping. You can check out what boxes are currently available here.

Box description -
'Oh my lips! The colder season is comin' round the corner, but are your lips ready? If taking care of your lips isn't part of your beauty to-do list this winter, re-think your beauty priorities. Most people don't know, but collagen loss and wrinkles around the lips add ages to your face, and with winter winds and drier climate, lips are more prone to aging and thinning. Don't fret because we're here to help you fight against lip-aging with this Oh! My Lips Box. All goodies are made with a bold blend of potent age-delaying, moisture-enhancing, volumizing, and smoothing ingredients to give you the look of beautiful, plump, and youthful lips!'



Vivito Painting Sweet Lip Balm 02 Berry Farm - 12g $24 (£15.85) exp: 12/05/17
'This chubby jelly-textured tinted lip balm give rich moisture and nutrition for dry lips. With a refreshing blend of blackberry, orange peel, grape, cacao seed butter, and more natural ingredients, this cute jelly balm will be the answer to winter's lip care concerns. It also comes in a cute tin for on-the-go care!'
This smells amazing, I can definitely smell the blackberry in this. Very expensive for a tinted lip balm though. Being addicted to lip balms I can safely say this will be used.

Lassie'el Kiss Me! Glam Up! Lipstick 6ea - $6 (£3.96)
'These are not one-time, disposable lip tattoos. They are real pigmented lipsticks packaged into these easy-to-carry lip cards, providing you with 6 different color options to choose from according to your mood, day, and occasion!'
I only got 5 colours as I got 2 of the Lucid Orange which means I was missing Oriental Red which is no big deal as I'm not a fan of reds. I think these would be great for travel as it gives you a choice of colours without needing to bring a load of lip products. To be honest I probably won't use these I only like a couple of the colours but already have something similar.

SR Lip Scrub - 30ml $12 (£7.92) exp: 08/12/15
'Exfoliate away dead skin cells and deeply soothe and hydrate dry, chapped lips with SR's Lip Scrub enriched with a blend of argan oil, tocopherol, vitamin E, snail filtrate, and pearl extracts. The gentle micro-beads soften and smoothen out roughened lips for suppler, kissable pout!'
This is a lot of lip scrub compared to the usual pots I've seen. I'm currently using the Lush scrub which I think is probably going to be harsher than this. I can imagine this being a creamy texture which I'm not sure I'd like rubbing into my lips. Good addition to the box but I just prefer sugar scrubs.

 Vivito Dessin Solution Lip & Eye Remover - 100ml $32 (£21.13) made on: 29/04/14
'A double-layered Lip & Eye Remover that effectively melts away stubborn point makeup and skin impurities around sensitive eye contours and lips. Make sure to shake the upper and lower layers well together before application. Its gentle blend of lemon grass oil and rosehip oil has soothing and moisturizing effects as well.'
This seems awfully expensive for a makeup remover! This will definitely be used, one of the few products in the box that I like.

Rosemine Vitamin E Lip Balm Mint Tea - 12g $7 (£4.62) exp: 14/11/17
'Scented with a refreshingly minty, herbal fragrance, this Vitamin E Lip Balm is richly formulated from a blend of vitamin E, ceramide, peppermint extracts and 5 different kinds of moisturizing essential oil. It coats over dry, chapped lips with a moisture layer to lock in the moisture and to protect against external damage or dehydration.'
I think the thing that has put me off of this is the herbal fragrance, I really don't like anything herbal. I will be passing this along as to be fair I do already have enough lip balm to last a while.


Well out of 5 products I will only be using 2. I would say everything in this box does follow the theme but some of them just aren't for me. Quite a disappointing box but then that is just down to my personal tastes.

What did you think of this box?


MEMEBOX #1 Night Care

Thursday 29 January 2015

Box description -
'Your pre-slumber beauty plan has never been so good! Your body repairs itself and night, and this box makes sure to optimize your precious 8 hours of sleep to ensure that you wake up to a flawless complexion, smooth skin, and soft-as-silk hair. It perfectly caters to all your nighttime beauty needs to rejuvenate, replenish, and repair your skin, hair, and body all while you catch up on so z’s. Enjoy!'

This box cost $35.99 which includes postage and contains all full size products. Very impressed with this box. If you're interested in getting a box you can see what is available here although some boxes do sell out quickly.






Heart Face Ultra Pore Care Sleeping Pack 100ml - $14 (£9.35) exp: 26/11/16
'Carefully formulated through the science of fermentation, this Ultra Pore Care Sleeping Pack carries 100% concentrated ferments from galactomyces and natural herbal complex, hyaluronic acid, and aloe vera to deeply nourish and rejuvenate the skin overnight to reveal suppler, firmer skin. The non-sticky formula absorbs quickly and smoothly and also helps treat acne prone skin.'
Sleeping packs are to be used as the last step at night, they're supposed to keep all of the moisture you've just given your skin in. I'll try this as it should be used but I feel I might use it without a moisturiser as it could be too heavy with both for my skin.

MYPU; Black Pearl & Gold Velvet Gel Eye Patch 1.1g x 60ea - $30 (£20.03) exp: 11/11/16
'Each Black Pearl & Gold Velvet Gel Eye Patch is formulated with a blend of premium collagen, hyaluronic acid, black pearl extracts and other essential concentrates to keep your under-eye skin moist, soft and firm. Revive a healthier you by deeply soothing and treating dark circles and fine wrinkles under eyes!'
These smell so good, peaches I think it is, also very pretty. Obviously the 2 most important things to be looking for! I've used gel patches like this before so I'm looking forward to trying these out. These are to be used after cleansing and to be left on for 20-30 minutes, after removal pat in the remaining essence and you're done. The pot also comes with a pair of tweezers to get the patches out instead of needing to use your fingers. 

AVEC MOI Mask 4 Set 8g,16g,16g & 4.5g - $33 (£22.03)
Shea Butter Special Care Foot Mask 16g exp: 07/11/16
'This is a deeply moisturizing foot mask enriched with shea butter, macadamia oil, vitamin E, and fresh herbal complex to replenish and soften dry, calloused skin on your foot. Its gentle formula is free of paraben, benzophenone, artificial pigment, etc.'
These are little socks you put on, massage the essence in and leave on for 15-20 minutes. Once removed pat any remaining essence in and your feet should be softer. The packaging for the packs is so cute, anything with a little face on I'm a sucker for.

Intensive Nail Pack 4.5g exp: 30/07/16
'This Intensive Nail Pack is made with cacao seed butter, milk protein, hydrolyzed bean protein, hydrolyzed collagen, honey, macadamia oil, and more naturally derived ingredients for delivering intensive moisture resurge and rich nourishment to dry, cracked nails.'
These are little tips that you put on after washing your hands, after 15-20 minutes remove and pat in any remaining essence. My nails are in good condition but my cuticles could probably do with a but more care.

Pony Tail Silky Treatment Pack 8g exp: 05/12/16
'Experience hair salon results at home with a rich blend of pito collagen, bean protein, silk protein, botanical plus-10, argan oil, olive oil, shea butter, and royal jelly. This hair treatment pack is easy to wear with no need to rinse off afterwards and most importantly deeply nourishes, softens, and strengthens your hair dehydrated and damaged from all those years of blow-drying and hair dyes.'
To use you tie your hair up into a high pony tail and place your hair into the pack, tying it up with the elastic provided. Massage in and leave for 15-30 minutes. Remove and dry the wet hair, now I don't use a hair dryer so I will see how this works with air drying.

Camellia Special Care Hand Mask 16g exp: 07/11/16
'This is a pair of replenishing hand masks formulated from a nourishing blend of camellia extracts, collagen, vitamin E, argan oil, and natural herbal complex. They’re easy to wear and leave dry, rough hands significantly softer and suppler.'
Basically these are gloves are used in the same way as the nail pack. I over wash my hands so this time of year they are quite the mess so looking forward to seeing how moisturising this mask is.

I like the thought of one use products like this as they won't be something you use all the time, I also don't believe that all 4 of these packs can cost $33!


Tosowoong Natural Pure Snail Essence 60ml - $24 (£16.02) made on: 24/09/14
'With its formula consisting 20% of pure snail mucin filtrates and 40% of fresh birch tree leaf water, this Natural Pure Snail Essence from Tosowoong is a miracle worker for skin brightening and anti-wrinkle results. It not only moisturizes and firms up dry, sagging skin but also helps fight all sorts of skin problems – acne, blemishes, uneven moisture & oil balance, etc.'
This is used after toner and followed by emulsion and/or cream so I'm guessing this is like a serum? You can tell I'm clueless when it comes to skincare. Oil balance and blemish fighting always sounds good to me so we shall see if my skin likes snail goo.

D'RAN Wonder Lifting Eye Cream 25g - $35 (£23.37) exp: 30/06/17
'This Wonder Lifting Eye Cream from D’Ran will brighten and firm up the dry, thin skin around your eyes. Enriched with a moisturizing blend of beta glucan, macadamia see oil, argan oil, jojoba seed oil, and EGF, it gently protects the sensitive skin while replenishing and balancing out the skin tone from within.'
Eye creams don't really excite me but it seems a nice enough product which really it should be for the price!

Switch Patch Elephant 3-step! Black Head Nose Pack 7g - $3 (£2) exp: 08/16
'This is an easy 3-step nose pack for opening up, unclogging, and tightening back your pores for treating excess blackheads on the nose. The step 1 is a cotton mask sheet enriched with witch hazel water, lemon balm extracts, and grapefruit extracts and works to melt and extract the excess blackhead and sebum. The step 2 is a peel-off type nose pack made from lemon extracts and aloe vera leaf water. Lastly, the step 3 bio-cellulose mask sheet stretches out 8cm and effectively soothes and firms back the enlarged pores with a gentle blend of lavender, chamomile, and eucalyptus extracts.'
A 3 step nose pack, all 3 I think are like nose strips so shouldn't be too difficult to use! This targets my number one problem but after doing some research it is apparently not possible to remove all blackheads as they are, basically something some people just have. This is very depressing news as I hate mine but I will still try to get rid of them just because I am that stubborn.


Definitely my favourite box so far, there isn't anything in here, bar the eye cream maybe that I won't be using. I like the variety of products and the packs which are hassle free to use.

Memebox so far hasn't disappointed so hopefully they will continue to release great boxes and not go the route of the subscription boxes.

Did you get this box?
