MEMEBOX - the best beauty box ever!


Memebox is a Korean online beauty store where specialists advise customers of the latest trends and the best beauty products to buy. Unlike other beauty boxes out there which are usually monthly subscription boxes, Memebox does not provide a monthly service, but instead, allows you to choose what you buy, and you can buy whenever you feel like it! The brands they include are not everyday brands that you see around, so it's good that I get to try new things all the time!! The boxes are also set at everyday prices, and the products inside are always worth more than what you paid for!!! They also ship to most countries around the world, including Hong Kong!


The types of boxes to choose from:

Memebox
The original Memebox comes packed with 4-8 full sized products and deluxe samples, carefully curated from Korea to give you the best experience and widest exposure to a range of products.
 

Superbox
Superbox was inspired by the Memebox lovers, looking for full-sized products catered to specific needs. Each Superbox series comes with its own theme, designed to target particular concerns.

Luckybox
 Luckyboxes were created to bring back the most popular items selected from previously sold-out Memeboxes, all combined in one wonderful collection.

Memebox Mini
These boxes are $15 including shipping, and you will get your hands on 3-6 beauty products (deluxe & pouch samples) from Korea.

Nakedbox
All the products inside the Nakedbox are completely revealed, and they ship within 2-3 days after purchase.
 


All the products contained in the Memeboxes, Superboxes, and Luckyboxes, are sourced directly from Korea, including only the best-loved items thoughtfully curated by their cosmetic aficionados at Memebox.


Don't know which box to buy?
- If you are new to Memebox, the Luckybox would be perfect for you! I purchased the Luckybox #5 as my first box, and I have been addicted to Memebox ever since!!
- If you like trying new products as much as I do, the Memebox Globals are awesome, as they contain many deluxe samples (as well as a few full sized products), and you can try the products before deciding on whether to purchase the full size product! They also have a larger variety of products inside!
- Superboxes are all themed, so if you have a particular concern, these are for you! For me, I really liked the Pore Care Superboxes!
- If you don't like buying a box without knowing what's inside, you can go for the Nakedboxes - all the components are exposed!
- If you like trying out new products, but have a tight budget, then the Memebox Minis are for you!

There are many sales going on at the moment!!!

MEMEBOX SUPERBOX #16 UNBOXING

My Hair Superbox arrived this morning, and although I wasn't too impressed by the size of the products inside (I understand that's how big the products get, but they're usually sold in packs of four or five, and not just one!), I think it's still a pretty good box for the price I paid, and I'm looking forward to using some of the products already!


Thank you for watching, and have a nice day!

REVIEW: OGCE BLACKHEADS ALL CLEAR NOSE PACK FULL SET

Blackheads and enlarged pores are a major concern of my face (actually it's more of a concern on hubby's face, because since using the Clarisonic Mia2, I have had less blackheads stuck to my nose!), so I recently purchased the Memebox Superbox #13: Pore Care, so I'll be posting a lot on pore care from now on!!

One of the products I received in my Pore Care Superbox is the O'GCE Blackheads All Clear Nose Pack + Pore Tightener Full Set, retailing at a price of USD11 at the Memeshop. It is a two-step system that is designed to remove existing blackheads and whiteheads around your nose, as well as tightening up the pores to control oil product and prevent the formation of new blackheads and whiteheads.



I like how it's a two step product, so after opening up the pores and extracting the blackheads, it also comes with a serum to apply afterwards to help shrink the pores (other products on the market only come with the pore strip, but doesn't teach us how to shrink the pores afterwards!). But like other pore strips, it can be quite a painful experience when peeling off the strip off your nose!!


Inside The Box:

7 x Charcoal Pore Strip
7 x Pore Tightening Serum




How To Use:

Use on a cleansed face.
Wet nose. Remove the pore strip from the plastic film and stick onto your nose.
I wasn't very pleased when I applied the pore strip, as there were no slits in the strip unlike the ones from Bioré, and the strip had a very overwhelming charcoal/smokey smell!!!


Remove the pore strip after 10 minutes or until it becomes completely dry, starting from the ends. Yes, it was quite painful, but the results were quite good!!


Rinse your nose with lukewarm water, and apply the pore tightening serum. 


The pore tightening serum comes in a cute syringe-shaped packet, smells really nice of honey and the camellia flower, but it feels SUPER STICKY (even stickier than glue)!! After 5 minutes after application, the serum dried on my nose, and it even felt like dried glue on my face - considering how sticky it was and how it dried up on my nose, I actually thought they gave me glue instead of serum!!!
(Please note that the instructions on the Memebox Information Card stop here, but there is actually more to it!!!)


I really wanted to leave it like this, because the glue-like-serum tightened my pores, and my pores were no longer visible anymore, but it was so tight that it felt really uncomfortable on my nose, and it was so uncomfortable that I couldn't help peeling the "glue" off my nose...


It obviously didn't feel right, so I did my own research, and apparently, after 5-8 minutes after application, you are supposed to wash it off. If you leave it on for too long, your nose will become slightly red and irritated.
So, if I had followed the instructions on the Info Card, I would have had to sleep with the glue-like-serum on my nose ~ eww!!!


Repurchase?

It was quite a good product, but I think I'd use the rest of the pack on hubby, as he has more blackheads on his nose that can be extracted easily using pore strips (he accepts this method more than using the blackhead extracting stick anyway)!! We would probably repurchase :)
