Memebox is a a Korean beauty box company that sells themed boxes of make up, skin care and hair products. You what ever purchase boxes you like so you are not locked into a subscription. This is my third box from Memebox and I have really been enjoying getting goodies from them.
This box was a collaboration between a beauty you tuber Lisa M Pullano and Memebox, which was priced at $23 USD plus shipping costs. The collaboration boxes tend to be naked boxes so that buyers know what they will be receiving, which I personally like so I can decide if I should buy it or not.
So what was in my Beauty Splurge Memebox
1. IT'S SKIN Macaroon Lip Balm 9g ($10.50 USD) Full size
Mine came in the 03 Grape flavor which I am pleased with. I like the scent and the balm goes on clear. The packaging is pretty cute too, it looks just like a macaroon. I will be keeping this balm even when I have finished it all up because I just love the look of it.
2. IT'S SKIN Babyface Petit Blusher 7g ($11 USD) Full size
The packaging of this blush is just adorable, with its cute little face and the puff inside. I received mine in the shade 02 Pure Lavender, which unfortunately for me is not flattering for my skin tone. I have olive skin so this colour either doesn't show up or if I apply it heavily it looks very weird. I could see this working for someone with very pale/fair skin. I have given this to my three year old who uses it to do her doll's make up.
3. HOPE GIRL Milky Balm Lipstick 3.5g ($22 USD) Full size
I have tried Hope Girl lipsticks before and I thought they were okay but nothing special. They do not last for 10 hours as they claim. Mine came in the shade 11 Pink Pops, which at first I was not that happy with since light pink lips often does not suit me. I gave it a try and it looked okay, well better than I thought it would anyway. I find these Hope Girl lipsticks to be quite sheer, but the colour is can be built upon.
4. L.VIDA Nail Polish LC-32 Milk Choco 10ml ($6 USD) Full size
I haven't tried this nail polish out mainly because I am not really into the colour. I am sure I will probably use it in the future. I do like the little flower on the nail polish, and I have used it as a hair tie for my daughter.
5. TOSOWOONG Makeon Mermaid Waterproof Gel Eyeliner ($11 USD) Full size
This came in the shade #05 Maple Syrup, which I think is okay but not a colour I would normally use. I haven't used this as makeup yet, however I have put some on my hand before a shower. In the water it stayed put, and it was only when I tried to rub it off that it finally smudged. I was pretty impressed with that test so I think it will be a very good quality eyeliner.
6. LAILLY 36.5 Steam Pore Pack 50g ($34 USD) Full size
This was the product I was most excited about and I have to tell you all that I love this Steam Pore Pack. I have used it twice already still it has arrived and I am very impressed. It is probably too early to determine if has improved my skin but after every use my face feels so nice and clean. This is suppose to make your face feel warmer and tingly, which it does slightly. When I watched this off with cool water, it really felt warm in a good way. I had never had an experience like that before with skin care, and I thought it felt amazing.
7. INSOBEAU Ultra Skin Power Z Cream 80ml ($46 USD) Full size
This is an anti wrinkle face cream, which smells really nice and is very nourishing. I am really happy that it is free from parabens, alcohol, mineral oils, artificial colouring and fragrances. Since I prefer products that are free from nasty chemicals.
The only thing that was disappointing about this product is that it will expire in 3 months time, which is a shame because it is a large jar and I won't be able to finish it all by within that time frame. In most cases I use the expiry date as a guideline but with this since does not contain a lot of artificial ingredients that tend to preserve products, I will probably throw it out when it passes the expiry date.
VERDICT:
I mainly brought this box because I wanted to try the Steam Pore Pack because I thought it sounded interesting, and I have pretty much loved all of my other items too. It is a bit of a shame that the Babyface Blusher does not suit my skin tone, but I guess that is the risk you take with buying these boxes. It is only a minor disappointment for me, because everything else is the box is usable.
I am really happy with this box and I would highly recommend it since it has a good mix of make up and skin care. As I write this review the Beauty Splurge box is out of stock, but occasionally Memebox restocks sold out boxes.
