Memebox Thanksgiving Box 2 - For You

Now for the second instalment of the Memebox Thanksgiving Box Duo - the For You box.  Well, it's not really a For You box.  It's more like For Me too box.

VIVITO Illust Lumiere Primer  30ml

     This item retails around $50 at Memebox.  I was a little hesitant with this primer because it looked too pearly white but I pulled myself together and tried it.  I was pleasantly surprised about the results.  It glided easily onto my face, covered my pot hole pores and  helped control my shiny, oily face. Really, really impressed with the results. I think I have found a replacement for my Laura Mercier Foundation Primer - ok, maybe not a replacement but I would definitely use it as an alternative.  Tip: Mix it with your daily BB/CC cream for a better finish.

SHARA SHARA Miracle Multi Cream 50ml

     This item retails around $18 at Memebox.  You can use this cream on your face, body or hair - wherever you need moisture and repair.  This cream is packed with 30 different kinds  plant oil complex including grape seed oil, rosehip oil, and green tea oil.   Have you heard of Egyptian Magic cream and the Moa Green Balm? The Shara Shara Miracle Multi Cream is something similar but smells so much better than those creams. Don't get me wrong - I love the Egyptian Magic cream but I love the smell of the Shara Shara Cream.  It's more affordable too. 

SHARA SHARA Brush Set 5ea

     This set retails around $24 at Memebox.  I was surprised and glad that this set was included in the box.  I wanted to get new brushes. There's 5 brushes in the set, 1 Powder brush, 3 medium brushes for eye makeup, and 1 lip colour brush. It's a very basic kit but useful nonetheless. The brushes themselves are quite soft and the colour very cute. 

VIVITO Painting Sweet Lip Balm 12g

     This item retails around $24 at Memebox.  I got the 01 Orange Farm.  This lip balm smells like sweet orange.  It's formulated with orange peel oil, grape extracts, blackberry extracts and vitamin E.
It promises to moisturise and revive dry, chapped lips.  Maybe it's just me, but this lip balm didn't revive my dry, chapped lips. I also didn't like digging my fingers in the pot to put my lip balm on (I'm a healthcare worker and dipping your fingers in a pot and onto your lips at work is not the most hygienic thing to do.) So, if you don't mind dipping your fingers in jelly to moisturise your lips then this product is for you. Best thing about this product? The orange tin... 

PERIPERA Heart Glow Stick 6.5g

     This item retails around $14 at Memebox and it's available in 2 tones. 001 Pink Beam and 002 Gold Aura.  I got 002 Gold Aura.  It's a very handy highlighter stick to have in your purse. If you use this with the Vivito Illust Lumiere Primer, your skin will look amazingly dewy. For those who don't have a clue about highlighting your face, Memebox has provided a simple chart of where to highlight. 

WITH SHYAN Nail Lacquer 15ml

     This item retails around $4 at Memebox and is available in 4 colours, Blue Violet, Neon Green, Pink Lady and Neon Purple.  I got Neon Green in my box and I'm not a happy bunny.  I don't like neon green, it does not suit me but I like the bottle and maybe able to repurpose the bottle instead. 

SARACEN Fluorescent Glitter 13g

     This item retails around $6 at Memebox and is available in 4 colours, Silver, Gold, Black and Blue.  I got the Silver pot. $6 for a tiny pot of silver glitter - come on, say it with me... What the fudge?! I don't know what to say about this tiny pot. I will probably use for a craft project as I feel like there's not enough glitter in the pot for all my nails. Like the neon green nail lacquer and lip balm in this box, I like the container and I will definitely reuse it for something else.

PURE SMILE Essence Mask Sheet 23ml

     This items retail around $2 at Memebox.  There's 2 mask in the Thanksgiving box, Milk and Strawberry Milk and let me tell you this, both smells lovely I wanted to lick my face. This mask is rich in milk proteins, fresh raspberry extracts, Vitamin E, collagen, and hyaluronic acid that moisturise, protect and balance the skin for a healthier complexion. How to use: Spread the mask sheet evenly over clean face and leave for 15-20 minutes. Remove and pat in  the remaining essence for full absorbance.  Tip: Exfoliate first then proceed to your normal skin care routine of toner, essence, serum,

 cream then the mask for best results. 

I'm sort of half and half with this box, I loved the primer, the multi cream, the highlighter, the brushes and the masks but wasn't too keen on the nail care items and lip balm. But all in all, I'm still happy with this box and more than happy to recommend most of the products to other people.

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.  

Memebox Thanksgiving box

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.  

Purchase here

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. 

Purchase here

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.
