Secret Kiss Face Fit Strobe Cream ($11 for 30ml)  This moisturising makeup base smooths out skin texture and creates a natural radiance. Made from 6 kinds of gemstone powders and various floral extracts to instantly correct a range of complexion concerns including dehydration, dullness, sallowness and redness. Either mix with BB cream or foundation. Otherwise use as a highlighter. I have seen other reviews comparing this with MAC’s Strobe Cream. I love using this either as a highlighter or by itself when I am not wearing any foundation or BB cream. It gives a nice glow on the skin without making my skin look too shimmery or sparkling. It gives a subtle sheen to the skin that mimics natural glow on the skin! Love it.

Vella Flower Flower B.B SPF 30 PA++($26 for 15ml). Flower Flower B.B cream works to moisturise and smooth dehydrated skin, prime and perfect skin texture, camouflage and color correct skin tone, and finally to protect skin from the sun with sn SPF30 PA++. Its silky, light formula is moisturising without creating excess oil and minimizes the appearance of pores without clogging them up.  This BB cream is on the fair side and it is a little fair for my skintone. However, the BB cream adheres onto the skin very well without catching into pores. I love how it has SPF30 and the small size is great for keeping it in the makeup bag for touch-ups. It holds well on my skin, but does not give great oil control.

Tony Moly 7 Days Tatoo Eyebrow ($8 for 0.8ml). Tony Moly’s 7 Days Tatoo Eyebrow may remind you of a regular liquid eyeliner from its visual, but in fact it’s a brush-type eyebrow pen that tattoos onto your brows for a pair of perfectly groomed brows that lasts up to 7 days without having to re-draw them every morning. As recommended, use this 1-2 hours before bedtime, fill in my brows with this felt tip brow pen, leave to dry and it should last up to 7 days before it is all faded out. On application, the felt tip gives a really soft brown color which makes my brows look really natural. Stayed on the whole day without much fuss. At the end of the day I removed my entire face makeup with a cleansing oil and I massaged my brows as well. About 60% of the product came off, but there is a stain on my brows that looks pretty natural but it turned into a light brown color (my hubby commented that I forgot to remove makeup on my brows). If it wasn’t for work the next day, I wouldn’t need to fill in my brows again so I am actually quite impressed with this product.

Style Y Soft Fit Mix & Match Pencil and Powder Shadow ($9 for 0.5g) The Soft Fit Mix & Match Pencil and Powder Shadow’s dual-ends – a liner on one end and a stick shadow on the other – can be used together to compliment each other, creating a whole new spectrum of mix and match eye makeup looks. Plus, its non-smudging and smoothly applying – easy enough to be used by even makeup beginners. This double ended shadow and liner is a good color combination. I love the brown eyeliner and the champagne gold eye shadow. However, the eye shadow powder is pretty dense and it is hard to use the sponge tip to apply any product on my lids. The liner is creamy and smooth, but it is easy to smudge as well. Overall, convenient product and nice color combo.

Style Y Color Fit Creamy Lip & Cheek ($13 for 5ml) Highlight lips and cheeks with the multi-tasking cream color that gives cheeks and lips a healthy, natural-looking flush. Style Y’s whipped mousse highlights lips and cheeks with a sheer, soft matte finish. This lip and cheek stain is very pigmented. The liquid consistency feels extremely light on the skin and once smoothed onto the cheeks/lips, it gives a matte finish with a powdery feel (especially on the lips). I love this on the cheeks, but not so on the lips purely because it is not my type of lip colour and that it catches into my lines and flakey patches. The light barbie pink works well as a blush, but I do need to use a very light hand on my yellow Asian skin. I would love this if it comes in a orange-red or red shade!

Color World Jewelish Stick Shadow ($13 for 10g) Color World’s Jewelish Stick shadow features beautiful shades with a cream y formula to provide endless spectrum for a flawless bold eye makeup. Each convenient stick is long-wearing, transfer-proof and crease-resistant. The color glides smoothly onto lids and blends easily for a rich pigment payoff.  A very pigmented shadow stick that reminds me of the shadestick MAC used to have. These are very convenient to use, you just draw directly onto the lid area where you want to and blend with fingertips. Ideal for use as a base color, not as a shade to build on top of another shadow. The shimmery purple has subtle silver shimmers that won’t make your eyes sparkle too much.

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, all of them are makeup and full size. The box is beautifully packaged and everything in great condition. The total value of this box comes to $80! For just $23 you get a total value of $80! There are products from brands I have not heard of previously and product types that I have not tried before (eyebrow tattoo). Memebox has once again earned their status as my favourite beauty box I have tried!
