Memebox Thanksgiving Box 1 - FOR ME

We don't celebrate Thanksgiving day back home nor do we celebrate it here in the UK but there is so much to be thankful for all these years.  In the spirit of Thanksgiving, Memebox has released 2 Thanksgiving boxes. One For Me and one For You.  Let me share with you my thoughts on these two boxes. Let me start with the first box.. For Me. 




For Me - yes me.. It's my favourite out of these 2 boxes. Scroll down and read on to know why.  


CLIO Virgin Kiss Tinted Lip in Electric #22 3.5g. 

     This retails for $10 and its glow-in-the-dark.  You read right, it glows in the dark. It's a normal pop orange lip colour during daytime but under blue LED lights, it turns to electric orange.  It slides easily for a semi matte finish lipstick.  I was really hesitant with the colour but this orange is growing on me. My lips feels like velvet  with this lipstick.  If you want to stand out during a night out, this lipstick will definitely give you that edge. 


JAMINKYUNG Gokmul Care Ultra Ampoule Toner 110ml

     This wonder toner retails at $46 at Memebox.  The main ingredient of this toner ampoule is camellia oil, sweet almond oil and vitamin E among others to provide antioxidant effects to give you a healthy, beautiful skin. It smells a little bit like grainy almond. How to use: Shake the Gokmul bottle, put about 5 - 8 drops of milky liquid in a cotton pad or like me, use your hands and pat away.  I love the way this toner makes your skin feel silky smooth. It's definitely the best toner I have ever tried so if you want to try it out click the purchase here link below the photo. It's 50% off at Korea Depart so take advantage of the sale ladies. 




803 803 Cream 50g


     This cream retails at $34 and I got the Palzza Cream Wrinkle Cream in my box.  The stylish pop-art packaging is very attractive and makes you want to pick it up and buy it. There are 3 types of 803, the Palzza (Wrinkle/Smile Lines), Sam n Cream (Neck) and Young (Moisturising). Ok, I'm not the best person to tell you what it smells like but to me, it smells like sweet citrus fruits like the Tonymoly Hello Bunny perfume bar only lighter.  That's probably the only light thing about this cream.  This wrinkle cream is thicker than most creams in the market and it takes longer to be absorbed by the skin. I'm 32 and I'm lucky to not have wrinkles so I don't really have much use for this myself but luckily, I know some people that need it and hopefully it will work for them.  



This cream is made of really good stuff like Collagen, Caviar, Royal Jelly, Adenosine, Argan Oil, Shea Butter, Sunflower Seed Oil, Jojoba Oil and does NOT contain Paraben, Mineral Oil, Artificial Colouring, Talc or Benzophenone.

SALLY'S BOX 4 Set Love Recipe Apple Mask, Delight Panthenol Hydrogel Mask, Delight Ceramide Hydrogel Mask, Delilght Collagen Hydrogel mask 

     This set retails for $13. What are sheet masks? Sheet Masks are pre-cut sheets, typically cotton or fibre, soaked in liquid formulas that are made to treat the skin. Sheet Masks are cut to fit the face with holes to protect the eyes, lips and nostrils. Sheet Masks traps the formula on the top of the skin, forcing it to absorb the formula and sealing it in.  The Love Recipe Apple Mask contains apple extracts to soothe and balance out rough skin.  The Delight Hydrogel Masks are made of 'Garden Complex' containing a cocktail of 10 herbal ingredients to hydrate, firm, and relieve rough dehydrated skin. How to use: Place mask over clean face and rest for 15-20 minutes. What I do: First, I exfoliate then do my normal routine - toner, essence, ampoule, serum, cream THEN the sheet mask. I use a sheet mask 3x a week, sleeping pack 3x a week.

TONYMOLY Hello Bunny Perfume Bar 9g

     This item retails for $11, is available in 5 scents and I got the 02 Momo Fruity. 01 Bebe Powder, 02 Momo Fruity, 03 Dodo Rose, 04 Coco Floral, 05 Pom Pom Green. This perfume is a solid stick of sweet smelling goodness in a really cute container. It glides easily onto the skin and has a moisturising effect. This perfume has citrus top note, floral, fruity and spice middle note and sandalwood, musk base note. Best used behind the ear and wrists. It's very handy, can fit in the smallest of purses, lightweight and does not leak.

ARIUL Stress Relieving Purefull Cleansing Foam 75ml

     This item retails for $8. I have to be honest, I didn't think much of this cleansing foam until after I used it.  I was quite surprised to find that it cleans very well.  I used a very small amount and the amount of foam was surprising. The best part of it is that it didn't dry out my skin like most foam cleansers in the market and it smells nice - like lime.

PISTEO Bright & Pure C Serum 7ml

     This item retails for $100 (7ml x 4ea) so it's like $25 for 7ml - I know, OUCH!  There is a perfectly understandable reason for this, this serum is made up of PURE Vitamin C concentrates to help the skin replenish moisture, firm up fine wrinkles and brighten overall complexion with continuous application.  How to use: Use a penny size amount of serum and massage it onto clean face.  I normally put it on after the essence and I pat it onto my face instead of rubbing it in. 






In conclusion, the Thanksgiving box 1 For Me is well worth the $26 + $6.99 shipping I paid for it. First, because the whole box itself is worth $147. Second, I have used all but 1 of the products in this box. The one item I do not use is being used by someone else so it's all good.  Lastly, I would buy these products on their own if I have to but I hope I will be able buy a box or 2 of this during next weeks restock.  Would I recommend this box? I don't want to recommend it so I can buy more for myself but this box is one of the, if not the best box I have received from Memebox.

Thank you for reading -
