MEMEBOX SPECIAL #71 WISH UPON A MASK UNBOXING

I've been so slow at updating my blog recently - been active on Instagram, but my blog has been pretty dead lately! I received this box quite a while ago, did an unboxing video, but forgot to post it here (again)...

Memebox Special #71 Wish Upon A Mask

Update: I used two of the masks inside this box for my MaskGenie Challenge, and here's what I think of them.

To The Nature Black Colored Rice Hydrogel Eye Patch

I was slightly confused when I took them out of its packaging ~ usually hydrogel masks are transparent and have a jelly texture, and you have to peel them off the plastic ~ I was figuring out how to peel the mask from the cotton sheet, and then I gave up and used the mask as it was, placing the gel side on my face (since the cotton side wasn't really sticking well). The shape was a little weird for me, and it felt a little uncomfortable under my eyes (no irritations, just to do with the shape). I removed the patches after 20 minutes, but didn't really notice any spectacular results.

Banila Co. Claypatra Mineral Salt Clay Pack

This actually smells quite nice for a clay mask, but it's also thicker than other clay masks, so it wasn't as easy to spread onto the face. I only received a sample size so I had already used half of the portion inside! I waited 15 minutes for the mask to dry, then I washed it off with warm water. It was slightly hard to wash off, because it left a slippery feeling on my face, so I didn't know whether my face was clean or not. After washing off the mask, I realised that some of my blackheads were already visible on my nose, but unfortunately I wasn't able to remove them with a blackhead extractor just yet. My face didnt feel dry afterwards either. Would consider repurchasing.

MEMEBOX SPECIAL #76 THE EMPRESS'S SECRETS UNBOXING

This is the second box that I got with the bundle...

Memebox Special #76 The Empress's Secrests

I think I was expecting a more oriental type of box, which would probably have products containing ginger, ginseng, gold, pearl, honey, or bee venom. I actually liked the box more after I had the unboxing video of it, but the only thing is about the wet tissues - imagine an Empress using a wet tissue wipe - that would be outrageous? Did they even exist then?

Update: I started using the Lime Nature Double Very Moisturising Cream yesterday and my skin likes it! I've been having quite a few spots on my face lately due to the change in weather and change in skincare products, but this cream felt very hydrating and didn't irritate my face at all!!

MEMEBOX SPECIAL #74 CLEOPATRA UNBOXING

Memebox has been quite slow in launching new boxes lately, but this was one of the new ones, so I got them as a bundle to save on shipping! I didn't really know what I was expecting from a Cleopatra's Box, but I definitely had higher expectations! Nonetheless, here's what I got...

MEMEBOX CHRISTMAS COLLECTION #2 MY HOLIDAY GLAM UNBOXING

I  have never purchased any makeup boxes from Memebox before, and this is the first one! I actually don't even know why I got it, but I guess the "free upgrade to express shipping" when getting the bundle was the main reason!

I think my picture for the video is 200% better than the box itself, but on the bright side, I'll have a lot of things to give away as presents for Christmas!

MEMEBOX AWESOME VALUE SET + HOPE GIRL BOX UNBOXING

I think my blog contains too many posts of Memebox unboxings, but Memebox posts do seem to be the ones getting most views, so here goes again...

Memebox AWESOME Value Set + Hope Girl Box

There was a mess up at Memebox, and they sent me the Hope Girl Box instead of the Memeshop haul that I ordered. I am still waiting for the reply to my message, and it's not surprising at all that I still haven't heard back from them! I will probably send them another message later tonight because I really want my masks!!!

MEMEBOX SPECIAL #65 APPLE MOJITO UNBOXING

Seems like I've been quite slow updating my blog recently - I did so many YouTube unboxing videos, but I completely forgot to upload them here too! So here goes, here's the video of...

Memebox Special #65 Apple Mojito

I wasn't intending to order this box at first, but having a few points in my pocket made me want to spend on a box, and this seemed to be the most eye catching one at that time...sadly enough there wasn't anything really "apple mojito" related.

REVIEW: MY SCHEMING BIRD'S NEST COLLAGEN HYDRATING MASK

MaskGenie Challenge Day 3: My Scheming Bird's Nest Collagen Hydrating Mask (Taiwan)

There was a lot of essence in the mask and it was dripping wet when I took it out of its packaging. This is a 20-30 minute mask which gives you plenty of time to relax, but also not so great if you don't have much time to spare before you head to sleep. There's not much of a scent, so that's good if you have sensitive skin or an itchy nose. The fit is great except for the nose area (it doesn't cover the sides of nose again). After removing the mask after 30 minutes, there was still a lot of essence left on my face, and it took me a while to massage it all in. It did, however, leave a slight sticky feeling on some parts of my face. My face felt tightened and hydrated (I ended up using less products in the rest of my skincare regime that night too).

MEMEBOX SPECIAL #70 CLEANSE & TONE UNBOXING

This is by far one of the better boxes I've received recently - at least there were no CPM items inside, but then again, the quality of the boxes is definitely not as high as they used to be!

MEMEBOX SUPERBOX #79 OH! MY LIPS UNBOXING

I bought these as a bundle, so they were shipped by DHL, hence getting them so quickly - just one day for them to be delivered to me!

Memebox Superbox #79 Oh! My Lips

Despite what other people may say about this box, I was actually pretty impressed with this box, and all of the products will definitely go into good use! In particular, I really like the lip jelly - it's really moisturising and it smells sooooo good, but the only thing is that it does get surprisingly red after applying just 2 layers onto my lips!! I now take a very small amount with my ring finger, then dab it gently onto my lips - this way, the colour is just right!

I think my picture for the video is 100% better than the box itself, but on the bright side, I'll have a lot of things to give away as presents for Christmas!

MEMEBOX GLOBAL #17 UNBOXING

I've been ordering way fewer boxes than I used to, because I didn't see anything that caught my eye, and I realised that Memebox doesn't stick to their themes sometimes. I realised that the Global Editions were the better pick, so here's another unboxing of another Global Box...

Memebox Global #17

Another shocking news that I read today...

Memebox is an online retailer for Korean Beauty products. With $1.5 million in seed funding, and the prestigious accolade of being one of Y Combinator's top 3 startups for Winter 2014, Memebox is poised to make a big play in the online consumer goods sector. This year, Memebox will transition away from being a reseller of cosmetic products to an online-only cosmetic manufacturer.

The paragraph in italics is copied from this website:

I don't know if it's true, but hopefully they'll still be keeping their boxes!

REVIEW: TO BE NANG GOLD 24K SNAIL NUTRITION HYDRO GEL MASK

This was featured in the Memebox Special #54 Miracle Masks. There were three "flavours" of masks from the To Be Nang brand inside the Miracle Masks Box, and since this one says it's a 24K gold mask, it seemed like a very classy mask to use.

It comes in a gold packaging - looks like an expensive kind of mask!

When I opened up the package, I could see that there was a lot of essence inside. When I took the mask out from the packaging, it felt super slippery on my hands, and it was slightly difficult putting it on my face properly, especially when I had put an eye mask on already. After adjusting it for a while, I was able to leave the mask on my face, but since it was a really slippery mask, the bottom half of the mask kept slipping down to cover my lips - this got a little annoying, because I always had to push the mask back up even though I tried to lie down as much as I could (I had just washed my hair and so lying down with wet hair wasn't good, and I was limited to watching TV episodes on my phone while lying down, because I wasn't allowed to walk around like I normally would with other sheet masks). Okay, so apart from that, I also experienced some irritations on my skin - I'm not sure whether it was because I kept pushing the mask back up or what, but I felt a slight itchy feeling above my lips. As I continued to leave the mask on, I started to get a slight itchy feeling over other parts of my face too, but it wasn't unbearable, so I just left it on my face for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, I removed the mask from my face, and massaged the remaining essence onto my face. There was a lot of essence left on my face (so much that I was putting it on my arms etc), and it left my face feeling quite sticky (eww I hate that feeling!). It was still sticky 10 minutes after I removed the mask, and since the itchy feeling was still there, and it became quite unbearable, I had to wash my face with water, and while doing so, I felt that I was washing off a thick layer of essence on my face. My face was still slightly irritated afterwards, and what surprised me most, is that arm became red and itchy (because I had applied the essence onto my arms), but it did leave my face feeling quite soft.

Not really impressed with this mask - not sure what I'm sensitive to, but I'm usually not sensitive to any gold or snail products, so I really don't know about this one. I asked the others at MUT about this mask, but nobody seemed to have any reactions to it, just me.

MEMEBOX SPECIAL #57 FOR DRY & SENSITIVE SKIN UNBOXING

I actually think the quality of Memeboxes is actually decreasing, and the products no longer seem WOW (is it because I've received so many products already, or is it that they're not putting as much effort into their boxes?) Anyhow, this is the box that I received a few days ago, but didn't get the video up until yesterday...

MEMEBOX SPECIAL #54 MIRACLE MASKS UNBOXING

Moving on from the huge debate we had with the Oh Sheet Masks Box, here's another unboxing of another Memebox (yes, it is an UNBOXING, so no detailed reviews here until I open up the products and use them)...

Memebox Special #54 Miracle Masks

I had to edit the video because I started coughing non-stop at some point during the video, and I also realised I forgot to say whether I liked the box or not. I thought the box was an okay box - not so pleased with the Purederm masks, and the fact that the sheet masks were labelled as three separate products although they're from the same brand and the same series, just different "flavours". This was definitely not the best masks box that I have received from Memebox.

REVIEW: INTERCOS SMOOTH SENSITIVE REMOVAL CREAM

The Intercos Smooth Sensitive Removal Cream was featured in Memebox Superbox #24 Waxing.

When summer comes around the corner, every girl needs a proper waxing for her under-arms, legs, arms, and bikini-lines. With Intercos' sensational hair removal cream, waxing can become so much quicker and easier. There's no need for a razor blade or a painful waxing procedure anymore. Simply apply the removal cream and after 5-10 minutes, rinse off in a shower.

How to use:

Apply the removal cream on areas you wish to wax, wait for 5-10 minutes, and then just jump into the shower and rinse off.

Personal View:

The Removal Cream smells like those of Veet, but it's even worse!

The Removal Cream comes in a container where you have to use a spatula to scoop out the cream. Memebox only gave us a wooden spatula (like those in ice-blocks but bigger), so I'm not sure how well you can clean it and reuse it for the next time.

I realised that I needed to use quite a lot in order to cover up all the areas I had hair on, so that's 1/3 of the container gone!

If I remember correctly, you only need to leave the Veet's foam on your body for 3-5 minutes before you can wash it off, but for the Intercos Removing Cream, you need to leave it on for 5-10 minutes before washing it off! Leaving it on for 10 minutes was really troublesome, because I didn't want my clothes to get dirty, so I ended up wearing a towel dress, and clipping up the bottom parts so that the towel wouldn't touch my legs (hubby laughed at me for doing this, because I was doing a hair treatment at the same time, and I looked super crazy with my hair up and dress up -.-). I was really happy to wash it off after 10 minutes, but I realised that it wasn't so easy to wash off with plain water - my legs still had that slippery unclean feeling after washing it with water, and that really bad smell was still there, so I was forced to take another shower with shower gel again! I also realised that the hair on my legs wouldn't wash off by itself, and actually required me to rub my legs with my hands (with some added pressure) to successfully get rid of the hair - super troublesome!

"With Intercos' sensational hair removal cream, waxing can become so much quicker and easier."

I think it's actually way more convenient if I just used a razor!!!

Final Verdict:

Too smelly

Too time consuming

Too troublesome

Not very effective

I would definitely not repurchase!!!

Thank you for reading, and have a nice day!

REVIEW: PUREDERM MIRACLE BODY SHAPING TREATMENT

The Purederm Miracle Body Shaping Treatment was featured in Memebox Special #27 Diet Box.

Purederm's Miracle Body Shaping Treatment is made from a patented complex, 'Bodyfit' which has proven to be highly effective in breaking down excess cellulites and preventing body fats form piling up. The caffeine components also work to remove puffiness along your body line, and the moisturising components such as olive oil and sweet almond oil help maintain body skin highly moist and supple.

How to use:

There are two parts to the Treatment.

Tear along the dotted line to separate the two parts.

Open up the CO2 patch.

You will see something like a Panadol body patch.

Open up the package with the Miracle Body Sculpting Gel, and pour generously over the CO2 patch. Make sure you pour it onto the side where it sticks to your body.

Peel off the sides of the patch.

Adhere the patch over your arms, thighs, back, tummy, or wherever you wish.

I put mine on my tummy.

Remove the patch after 20-30 minutes.

Personal Views:

It's quite an easy product to use, and it's not really that messy - at least my hands were clean afterwards! After putting it on my tummy for around 5 minutes, I could feel my tummy getting warm. The warmth wasn't overly hot or unbearable, but my tummy did feel slightly itchy, though that feeling did go away pretty quickly. I removed the patch after 30 minutes, and I saw that my tummy was quite red, though the redness did go away very quickly. There was a lot of essence left on my tummy which I had to wipe off with some tissue. I don't think I noticed any difference in size nor firmness after using the patch, but it was quite a fun thing to try out! I probably wouldn't repurchase though!

Thank you for reading, and have a nice day!

REVIEW: D'RAN WONDER SERUM & YUFIT EON WHEAT-GERM97 ESSENCE

The D'RAN Wonder Serum was featured in the Oriental Medicine Memebox, whereas the Yufit Eon Wheat-Germ 97 Essence was featured in the Brightening Skincare Memebox. In this post, I will just do a brief review of these two products, because I only used both of them once, and never will I use them again!

1) D'RAN Wonder Serum 30ml

Made from 20 different Korean medicinal herbs such as ginseng, black hoof mushrooms, licorice, portulaca, and ganoderma, the Wonder Serum delivers abundant nutrients and moisture deep into your skin to erase those years off your face, for a revitalised, glowing complexion.

I applied it onto my face, and my face felt slightly itchy afterwards. It wasn't unbearable, but it just didn't feel normal. I won't be using this anymore.

2) Yufit Eon Wheat-Germ97 Essence 

A whitening, anti-wrinkle, brightening, and moisturising facial essence all-in-one! This Eon Wheat-Germ97 Essence contains various naturally derived ingredients which all work to deliver abundant nutrition deep down into your skin, for an overall brighter, and healthier complexion. You'll feel how it literally feels in moisture from deep within your skin and balance out the uneven skin tone and texture with continuous application.

I applied it onto my face, and my face felt slightly itchy, then the itching gradually increased. My face also became slightly red, and the itching became unbearable. Despite this, my hands were not itchy after using this essence. I instantly had to go wash my face with soap and water, then I applied an aloe mask. My face was still itchy afterwards, and my eyes became slightly itchy too, so I had to take my anti-allergy medication! I will definitely never be using this again!!!

I have an allergy to Penicillin (I will get a rash, feel nauseas, have diarrhoea when I take Penicillin), but I've never had any reactions to other fermented skincare products! I've heard many good reviews about the Wonder Serum, but it just wasn't for me, and neither was the Wheat-Germ Essence.


Bye bye Wonder Serum and Wheat-Germ97 Essence!!!

MEMEBOX GLOBAL #16 UNBOXING

I received another box from Memebox, and this time, it's one of the Global Editions! They really never disappoint!!!

Memebox Global #16

I love how the Global Editions include a variety of products, not just for the face! I've also purchased the #17-19 bundle, and I can't wait to receive them!!!

REVIEW: SKINAZ THE KISSABLE 24H LIP TATTOO

I received this product inside my Memebox Special #16 OMG Box, but since it was orange in colour, I originally thought of giving it away. I did, however, change my mind, because I need to start blogging about products again, and this would be a good place to start!

SKINAZ The Kissable 24H Lip Tattoo 13g

SKINAZ takes lip makeup to a whole new level with its Lip Tattoo! This'll be the ultimate no-makeup makeup since it actually works like an impermanent colour tattoo on your lips and does not smudge or gets erased for 24 hours long. Plus, it comes in five lusciously radiant colours: Lovely Pink, Sexy Red, Rising Sun, Sweet Wine, Kiss Orange

How to Use:

Apply the Lip Tattoo thickly over your lips and wait 10-15 minutes until it completely dries up.

 Then, remove the dried lip tattoo from one end to another.

Finish off by applying another layer of lip gloss or lip balm over the top.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS:

When I first applied it onto my lips, it left my lips feeling quite sticky. The colour was also very bright and bold! It dried up after 10 minutes, and I was able to peel it off quite easily. The colour left on my lips was still quite orange, but it was definitely not as sharp as before peeling it off! Surprisingly, it was not too drying on my lips! The colour was also very long-lasting, as it was not so easy to wash off with water. I also tried to wipe it off using the Chanel Eye & Lip Remover, but the colour had still not completely come off. I was able to wash it all off eventually after using my facial cleanser and Clarisonic Mia2. If I had received the Lovely Pink, I would probably use it more, but since I received the Kiss Orange, I would probably just put it away.

This definitely was a fun product to play around with, but it wasn't really that OMG to me.

Thank you for reading, and have a nice day!
