I had seen on Youtube a while back some beauty vloggers talking
about Memebox, a Korean Beauty Box service, but it wasn’t until I had seen
Leanne from Blather and Beauty do a few posts on it that I thought it would be
something that I would be interested in.
Firstly unlike most beauty box companies you don’t have to sign up
to Memebox on a rolling subscription, you can pick and choose from a different
assortment of boxes so there isn’t any worry about making a commitment and then
it not working out for you.
What I love about these boxes is that they contain beauty items
that most of us have never heard of from Korea. Korean beauty products are
becoming a lot more popular in the west as they are very good quality and also
little quirky. The boxes are also pretty cheap compared to Glossybox or
other subscription boxes, for one, you get full size items, I didn’t get any
samples in my boxes and some of the products can be $20+.
In each box you get a card explaining the details of the product,
the price and how to use it. You better keep these cards because if you’re not
well up on your Korean you’ll be a little lost as all the products packaging is
in Korean.
The First Box I received was the Superbox #58 Lipstick box. What
drew me to this box was that I knew I was getting all lipsticks and as a
lipstick junkie I knew this was going to be a good one.
I will say at first I was slightly disappointed in what I got.
There were a few too many nude colours for my liking and also because I had
never heard of the brands I felt I had nothing to get excited about, but I have
actually grown to love everything in the box. After discovering that nudes do
look good on me (click here to find out more) I did fall in love with all the
colours and after reading up on the brands the excitement started to build.
The box contained 5 full sized lipsticks. In total the box contained
$101worth of lipsticks, converted that’s €81 and seeing as I paid $33.99/€27.30
I am pretty pleased with what I got.
The second box I received was the Special #42 OMG3. I had heard
how querky these boxes can be so I figured I’d try this one out. I received 5
full sized items, not all entirely odd but still I think I will get use out of
at least 4 of the products.
I got a bar of soap in it which is a bit weird, I don’t know
anyone who uses a bar of soap so this was definitely odd, it turns into a
cleansing oil when you use it on the face so I might get use out of it, only
time will tell. I then got a Donkey oil mist, which is a moisturising spray. It
even says on the card that Cleopatra used donkey milk in her baths so if it was
good enough for her than I can’t see why I won’t like it. It also has a lovely
smell which is a bonus.
The Bee Venom and Honey cream was next, I’ve heard that Kate
Middleton uses bee venom on her face so it can’t be that bad. This is a
moisturiser, it takes a while to dry into your skin so if you have dry skin
this would really suit you and even though I have oily skin it didn’t leave me
greasy at all. I will probably use it more as a night cream as it is slightly
too thick. After the lipstick box I’m sure I don’t need any more but they threw
in the Tonymoly lip crayon which glows in the dark, I can’t wait to wear this
one on a night out.
Finally they put in the Tosowoong Platinum Pore Tightening mask
and as I’ve been on a mud mask buzz this was right up my alley. I’ve tried it a
few times and after each go my pores have shrunk, it smells a bit funky but it
works so it has a thumbs up from me. The box cost $35.99/€28.90 and has
products worth $152/€122 honestly I’ve never come across a beauty box that
gives so much.
Will I buy from Memebox again?? I think I will, they have some
weird but wonderful products and the fact you get full sized items and the overall
price is nearly triple of what you initially paid it really ticks all the boxes
for me.

Thanks for reading.
