Memebox Superbox #60 back to school by Hope Girl Review

This box was my second purchase from the Korean beauty product box company Memebox. Memebox sells themed boxes of Korean makeup, skincare and haircare products. Most of the time the contains of the box are a surprise but for the 'back to school' box the products that were going to be inside were shared. With standard shipping this Superbox #60 cost $23.99 USD however with a discount code and with me using up some memepoints I only paid $15.99 USD. It is currently still for sale at Memebox and everything is full sized.

I have to admit I mostly brought this box because I really wanted to try a Korean CC cream, because I have heard that their CC creams are so much better than the ones made in western countries.

So what was in my box:

1. HOPE GIRL Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil 02 Brown 1.9 g (RRP $18 USD) Full size
I am yet to actually try this out as an eyeliner but I have done a swatch on my hand and I am very impressed that it hasn't smudged when I wipe at it. I think this will be a long lasting eyeliner. This eyeliner also came with an eyeliner sharpener. I actually need to buy one with a bigger sharpener hole for my brow wax pencil, so I was pleased to get since it fitted perfectly in this one.

2. HOPE GIRL Milky Balm Lipstick Grapefruit 3.5g (RRP $22 USD) Full size
The packaging for this lipstick is so adorable with the leopard print, even my three year old loves it. The box's information card claims that this lipstick will last for up to 10 hours. I have worn this a fair bit lately and it lasts okay but it does not last for 10 hours. I would probably say it would last for 3 hours before needing a touch up (assuming that you haven't been eating) which I think is fine for a lipstick.

3. HOPE GIRL Nude Skin Color Control Cream SPF30 40ml (RRP $31 USD) Full size
This was the item I was most excited about and I have to confess I am loving this. I have never used a CC cream before so I was a bit surprised that it came out white, since I thought it would be a bit like a BB cream. It does start off making your face look quite white but after a couple of minutes the colour adjusts. I have olive skin so while I think this works well for me at the moment, once I get my summer tan it will probably be too light for me. The coverage is light but it does even out the colour of your skin. I like that it includes a SPF of 30+ which means I don't have to apply a separate sunscreen which is good.

4. HOPE GIRL Nail Travel Bling Bling Set 09 Neutral Aura 5g x 3 (RRP $14 USD) Full size
I haven't tried these out yet because these colours as nail polished does not really excite me to be honest. I think I will eventually try them out, mainly because I like the nail design that they have suggested on the back of the pack which uses all three shades.

5. HOPE GIRL Teen Teen Star Mineral Eye Shadow BR01 Real Brown 3g (RRP $10 USD) Full size
There were 4 different coloured eye shadows that we could have received, and I got the Real Brown colour which is a bronze like brown. I prefer my eye shadows in brown and gold shades so this will be used in the future. 

This is a swatch of the CC cream, the lipstick and the eyeliner.
The white cream is what the CC creams looks like straight out of the pump, beneath it is the BB cream rubbed in.
The lipstick is a sheer orange red.
The eye liner swatched twice. The bottom one is what it looks like after I have tried to rub it off. 

Verdict:
For someone who is still quite new to Korean cosmetics and Memebox I thought this was a great box to get to start off my collection. I am pretty happy with this box, and it was a much better Memebox experience for me than my first one the Floral Scent box which I thought was disappointing. I have been using the CC cream most days, and the lipstick has been getting a bit of a work out too.
