If you have been reading my blog, I have been reviewing some Memeboxes (click this page to see the boxes I’ve reviewed). Also check out this post where I explain the concept behind Memebox. This month Memebox sent me their Superbox #65 Korea’s Most Wanted 2. This box contains 6 full sized products. It is sold for $32 with a value of $182!
Memebox USA and Memebox Korea are cooking up something new and beautiful with this sister-sister collab! Everything from the hottest skincare staples, makeup must-haves, hair and body essentials, and other K-beauty breakthroughs, Korea’s Most Wanted 2 is bursting with beauty hall-of-famers straight from our Memebox Korea shop! You’ll get the scoop on the latest Korean beauty trends and see what’s cookin’ at Memebox Korea!
elRoel Tone Up Starter SPF50+ PA+++ Green Boosting its high UV protection level while newly equipped with tone balancing and skin smoothing features. It works to fill in fine lines and wrinkles and brighten up the overall complexion, perfectly prepping the skin for a well-moisturized, long-lasting makeup adherence. Apply directly to face at the first stage of base makeup application. The makeup base is very pale green in colour but goes on invisible with a very slight white cast. It doesn’t have a silicon or matte finish, but it moisturises and provides good SPF coverage. It doesn’t really help much with oil control though, as after about 2 hours my t-zone is shiny again.
Hiello Blooming Multi Firming Cream A richly concentrated anti-wrinkle facial cream formulated with a blend of poppy extracts, vitamin peptide, collagen, green tea water, Damascus rose water, and centella asiatica. Smooth out sagging skin, brighten up dulled complexion, and rejuvenate stressed-out skin with the best of Hiello Blooming Multi Firming cream! Apply a small amount of the cream directly to clean face. For an overnight pampering treatment once a week, thickly coat face with the cream, massage it gently, and take your beauty sleep without washing it off. This firming cream is a rather thick moisturiser, it does take a bit of time to be fully absorbed, but it doesn’t leave a sticky residue on the face or feel oily or greasy at all. The texture is really nothing special and I couldn’t comment on the firming effects on the skin yet. However, I could say that I would never use it as an overnight treatment as it is too thick for my combination/oily skin. Might gift this to mum or my sister who has dry skin.
The Tang Tang Kissy Skin Therapy Peeling Wash A peeling gel designed specifically to target dry and sensitive skin types. Regular peeling products contains unnecessary ingredients which makes it look like a lot of dead skin cells and skin impurities are rubbing away when applied. The Tang Tang Kissy Skin Therapy Peeling Wash boosts its gentle, nourishing formula made from only naturally-derived ingredients minus all the unnecessary skin detriments. Spread an adequate amount of the peeling gel over dried face. Rest for about 40 seconds and just before it begins to harden, gently massage nose, cheeks, and the rest of the face. Rinse off with lukewarm water. Do not use a soap or foam cleanser. This peeling wash is designed to be used after cleansing on dry skin. It is sort of an exfoliator – by applying the gel onto the skin, leave it to dry slightly then massage and rub out the dirt and dead skin cells off the skin’s surface. It doesn’t mention if you should cleanse your skin first or not, but I cleanse first with a cleanser, then use this peeling wash. After washing off, my skin is smooth and soft. I then following with a mild, alcohol-free toner and moisturiser. I use this 1-2 times a week.
Kskin Emu Leg R-Free Massage Cream Made from ‘emu oil’ rich in omega 3,6,9 and vitamin A, snail mucus extracts, peppermint oil, hyaluronic acid, and menthol complex, the Emu Leg R-Free Massage Cream works to soothe, moisturize, and de-stress your legs tired and stimulated from an exhausting day. Massage the formula over calves, waist, feet or other body parts in need of stress relief. This massage cream feels super cooling on the skin! After a nice hot shower, I apply this onto my legs with some massage. The gel-texture cream smells really refreshing of menthol. It is cool to the skin and it stays cool on the skin for another 5-10 minutes! I was really pleasantly surprised and I love this stuff! I can’t see any slimming results yet, but during winter, this cooling cream will be amazing! WARNING: Do not use this anywhere near your face, genital areas or anywhere you have broken skin – IT WILL STING!
LadyKin One Touch Bling Glow Lipstick Create weightless, color-saturated lips when you smooth on this LadyKin One Touch Bling Glow Lipstick. It glides on silky smooth and leaves lips glamorized with captivating color radiance in just a single stroke. Start with a touch of color at the center of the lips, and slowly spread to the outer corners. I was half expecting that this lipstick would “glow” in some way but it doesn’t. It is pretty much a simple moisturising lipstick. I got the shade 08 Fall Rose and it is a pinkish nude shade that looks like a very suitable nude shade for my lips (a hint lighter than my own lip colour). The formula is moisturising and not heavy on the lips. However, it is not very long wearing – it will transfer after eating and drinking.
The Face Shop Calendula Eden Essential Moisture Essence A richly concentrated facial serum that deeply moisturizes and smoothens out uneven skin tone with the power of calendula eden complex consisting of calendula extracts and hyaluronic acid. After toner & emulsion application, spread an adequate amount of the essence evenly over face and gently pat it in with your fingertips for full absorbance. I was quite excited when I see something from The Face Shop! The Face Shop is quite popular in Asia countries and it is a brand that I have heard of (have used some of their sheet masks). Plus it is a serum! I love serums. The serum has a light-weight lotion-like texture that feels refreshing on the skin. Not greasy or oily, it applies wonderfully and after about 30 seconds, my skin is ready for either another serum/essence or my moisturiser! It does provide good moisture and I feel like I don’t need anything else when during the summer nights! Love it.
Overall: The products in this Superbox are all full sized products and besides the firming cream, I really love all the products! However, I was half expecting BB Cushion compacts, lip and cheek tints and liquid highlighters because Korean girls love flawless skin that doesn’t look cakey, blush and lips that looks naturally pink and they have super glowing skin! I wasn’t expecting leg massage cream and thick firming creams. Nonetheless, I am quite happy with this box as there is a total of 6 products, 2 of them regarded as makeup and the rest are skincare/body care. The box is beautifully packaged and everything in great condition. The total value of this box comes to a total of $182! For just $32 you get a total value of $182!
