If you have been reading my blog, I was sent the Whole Grain box from Membox last month (post here, it also explains the concept behind Memebox and other info). This month Memebox sent me their Superbox #33 Collagen Cosmetics. Superbox contains 4-6 full sized products catering for specific needs, in this case – Collagen.
I have a new discount code for all my readers! Get $5 off all orders: 6AJ4AV (valid until end of August)
What I got:
Ramosu Carestory Collagen Extract 100 (10ml $36): Infused with over 17 different amino acids, this 100% concentrated collagen ampoule will deliver intense hydration and facilitate cell regeneration for more supple and firmed up baby skin. It glides onto the skin refreshingly. This collagen ampoule comes in a small box sealed with a dispensing attachment so the product is hygienic and fresh. To use, just pull off the plastic cap and the plastic plug then attach the plastic cap to use. Recommended to use 3-4 drops and massage all over the skin, but since the product is liquid like water, I tend to use about 5-6 drops. I would aim to use this up within a week or 2 to keep its freshness and products active.
Dermahouse Collagen Firming Cream (30ml $29): The abundant collagen, shea butter and mango shea butter ingredients in this cream work to lock in moisture and deliver beneficial nutrients deep down into your skin. With continuous use, you will experience disappearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improvement in the skin texture and clarity. Unexpectedly, the packaging of this product is much less pretty than what I have expected from a Korean brand. It comes in a very ordinary jar and the card packaging on the outside is not very appealing to be honest. This cream has a beige tinge to it and it feels and looks very ordinary. The whole package doesn’t excite me, but hopefully the product is effective!
Dewytree Nature Harmony Real Collagen Nutrition Serum (50ml $29): This is a deeply moisturising and nourishing facial serum infused with high concentrations of collagen. This serum treats enlarge pores, sagging skin and signs of aging with its highly moist and nutritious formula which instigate skin regeneration and renewal. The packaging of this serum is so cute! It looks like a fat medicinal capsule with a big cap on top and a pump to dispense the product. The serum is quite fluid so it spreads easily. It has a gentle floral scent and is absorbed quickly with feeling greasy.
3W Clinic Collagen Makeup Base (50ml $30): The silicon type collagen makeup base contains blemish control powder components for matting out and preparing the skin condition before foundation application. The high level of adherence and long-lasting formula help maintain your makeup silky smooth all day long. This makeup base is in a green shade to combat redness. When pumped out from the tube, it looks quite thick like a concealor. You don’t need too much because it does go on with a bit of a white cast (image I have shown is 2 pumps which is too much, you only need 1 pump). The makeup base is a bit more opaque than expected so it does combat most of my redness and appears to cover some of my minor imperfections as well!
The Skinhouse Wrinkle Collagen Free Spot(30ml $28): The wrinkle care product is packed with collagen and adenosine components for delivering deep, intense nourishment to the skin and nullify the signs of aging by filling in between fine lines and wrinkles. This is not an eye-only cream, it can be applied anywhere on your skin with visible lines and wrinkles. So before my moisturiser, I use a small amount of this target treatment cream around my eye area and either sides of my mouth where I am showing signs of fine lines. The cream is a bit thick and you don’t need much. This also smells slightly floral, quite pleasant.
Abelle So Hot-burning Concentrated Ampoule (20ml $24): A unique hair ampoule that warms up all by itself and absorbs deeply into your hair, this highly concentrated ampoule is made from EGF, hydrolyzed keratin, hydrolyzed collagen, and hydrolyzed silk which all work to strengthen the hair cuticle and make your hair shine with a natural glow. The instructions on the card states to apply this evenly over the hair and scalp, then put on a shower cap (instructions says plastic cap – I thought you were suppose to put the small cap of the ampoule on your head?! Lol) then wait for 5 – 15 minutes. Recommended use once or twice a week. I was expecting a self heating hair treatment but it didn’t heat up at all. The product is a little gloopy but spreads evenly through the hair. I have shoulder length hair and the ampoule was a good amount to cover all my hair. Washing off was easy and made my hair smooth to touch.
Overall: The products in the Superbox are all full sized products and the type of products do not overlap. There is a total of 6 products, one of them hair care, one of them makeup and the rest are skincare. The box is beautifully packaged and everything in great condition. The total value of this box comes to a total of $176! For just $35 you get a total value of $176 the amount worth of products in here and they are not just sample sized products worked out to the value of its full sized product. Definitely would love the try out their makeup boxes next!
