Hey guys and Merry Christmas Eve! In my last Memebox post, I mentioned I had bought another one that was going to be delivered sometime in December. Well, I finally received it and am happy to report that I love it!
The box I got this time came with 5 full sized products and cost me $36.99, which includes the shipping. I'm also glad the box came with a card explaining what everything was because the directions on the containers are all in Japanese.
The first product I got is the Tosowoong Syn-ake Whitening Mist. The product description says, "Refresh both your skin and spirits with this complexion reviving mist! The Tosowoong Syn-ake skincare series is formulated with syn-ake complex- a kind of peptide carrying similar constituents to snake venom- EGF, galactomyces ferments, and bifida ferments. This all-natural formula instantly alleviates sensitive, stimulated skin and rejuvenates and strengthens dry, dulled skin."
The second product from the same Tosowoong Syn-ake line is the Wrinkle Free Lotion. The description of this says, "Firm up and fill in the fine wrinkles, and maintain a healthy moisture & oil balance with this wrinkle care lotion." It then goes on to say the same thing about snake venom as it does above. When I read that, I was pretty stoked to try this out honestly! I've never tried any skincare product this "fancy" before, so both of these products seem so interesting. Both of the products retail for $20 each.
I also got the Shara Shara Green Oasis Lifting Eye Cream. The product description of this says, "Erase the years off your sagging eyes or prevent pre-mature wrinkles & lines with Green Oasis Lifting Eye Cream. Its gentle formula of adenosine, hydrolyzed collagen, lactose bacillus, date palm ferments, and jojoba seed oil firms and smooths the skinwhile creating a moisture barrier over top for a lasting moisture lock-in." I'm only 26, but I'm all about preventing lines and wrinkles on my face, especially my eye area, so this product seems promising! This product retails for $20
The next product seems so interesting. It's the Neogen Code9 Pore Tightening Aqua Cream. The product description of this says, "Enriched with premium Canadian glacier water, baobob tree extracts, hyaluronic acid, natural ferments, and pore control EX complex, this super moisturizing Aqua Cream soothes and tightens back enlarged pores and leaves skin feeling firm and supple." This truly seems so fascinating! I don't know whether to use this under moisturizer or alone, and also in the morning or at night. This retails for a whopping $44! This alone pays for the box.
The last product I got in this Memebox is the ProYou Magic Silky Shiny Skin Essence. The description of this says, "A lightweight facial essence suitable for all skin types. A blend of adenosine, Phellinus linteus extracts, copper peptide, and EGF works to smooth out rough skin texture while niacinamide, rice bran extracts, and morus bark extracts brighten up uneven skin tone. Moisturizing agents such as hyaluronic acid, collagen, penthenol, and kerasgen add rich moisture and suppleness for a healthier complexion." The product in the bottle looks like an oil or serum, and it sounds like a nice one too. Definitely excited to try this one out! It retails for $36.
That's everything I got in this Memebox! The total value of this box is $140, which is such a steal considering I paid under $40 for it! I've honestly been super impressed with the two boxes I've gotten so far and definitely want to try more. I have a skincare stash to get through, so maybe later on in 2015 I'll try out another box! Since I am an affiliate now with Memebox, I'd be really grateful if you used my link to sign up and purchase a box. Or anything else really. They have a whole shop of products you can try, there are sales frequently and the boxes are amazing.

Hey guys! I have an exciting post today, because I received my very first Memebox in the mail earlier this week! I've been hearing so many amazing things about this box all over YouTube, so I decided to take the plunge and buy one.
Memebox is the #1 Korean online beauty retailer in the world and they ship to 51 different countries internationally. Shipping does take quite a while. I ordered this box around the middle of September and it shipped out October 24th. Estimated shipping time is 10-20 days, so from October 24th to just earlier this week isn't too bad, especially since it came from Korea. There are so many different boxes to choose from, yet they do seem to sell out quickly. They also do sell products individually as well! The price point is very fair considering you receive 4 to 8 full sized products and deluxe samples. This particular box cost $23 and shipping was $6.99, but a YouTuber had a $5 off code I was able to use. I also have to say, the pink box is just too adorable! I love the color and I may actually keep it and find some use for it!
Here are all the chocolate inspired products in all their glory! As you can tell from the title of this post, I received box #45 and it's called Chocolate Mania. If you know me, you know I'm pretty much a chocolate freak. Once I opened the box, I immediately had to do a sniff test, because I'm weird like that. Here is a closer look of the products.
The first product at the very top is the Zamian Super Gold Cacao Pack. This is a full sized product and retails for $22, so that right there almost covers the box! I kid you not, this stuff smells like rich, chocolatey cake batter. I could really sit here all day and sniff it. Anyways, this is basically a mask to smooth, firm and nourish the skin. I have to look at the card everything is on because directions and whatnot are all in Korean, and I don't know Korean at all. I'll also say now that every product in this box is full sized!
The second product is Skinfood Cacao Hand Balm and this retails for $5. This product doesn't smell as chocolatey as the mask, but it's still nice! I haven't tried this yet, but with the dry skin I've been having, I'm sure this will be put to use soon enough. This hand balm looks so thick too, so I have hopes that it's super hydrating.
The last product pictured here is the Neogen Code9 Gold Cacao Cream. This baby retails for $30! Now this product actually doesn't smell chocolatey at all, more floral if anything. The key ingredients in this are gold, cacao seed butter, mango seed butter, shea butter and olive oil. I can tell just by those ingredients that this will be a Winter only moisturizer, as I'm pretty oily throughout most of the year.
The product pictured at the top is the Binucook Cacao Choco Pie Soap and it retails for $6. Even though this is packaged well, the smell of cake batter is amazingly strong and I just love it. At first I thought this was bar soap you use for your body, but it is actually a facial soap that deep cleans but also maintains skin's moisture/oil balance.
Beneath that product is the Dearberry Miss Mona Lisa Eyebrow pencil in the shade 01 Choco Brownie, which retails for $2. This comes with a spoolie brush on the other side, which is definitely handy. I've never tried eyebrow pencils before, and I think if I use a light hand with it, the color should be fine. It's not overly brown which is nice too.
The next product I got is the Purederm Choco Cacao Collagen Mask and it retails for $2. I've tried sheet masks in the past and haven't had much luck with them because of the holes being too small for the eyes, or they just don't line up properly. I will try this though since it has high concentrates of cacao and collagen extracts, which is good for moisture.
Next up is the Missha Cacao & Cream Facial Scrub which retails for $12. This scrub looks like cookies and cream ice cream, but only has a faint smell of sweetness. This scrub is supposed to get rid of dead skin cells, blackheads and whiteheads while still maintaining skin's moisture level.
Last but not least, we have the Shara Shara Tempting Avocado Chocolate Massage Cream, which retails for $11. I thought this was also a body massage product, but it's for your face! I always loved getting facials when they did a facial massage. It's incredibly relaxing and now I'm excited to do it more with this product. My mother-in-law now wants a facial from me too!
Well that's everything I received in my first Memebox! I'm so impressed and the total value of this box is $90! I paid only $24.99! I also love how this is basically all skincare, since I'm a skincare junkie. Before I even got this in the mail, I did order another box, but that won't ship out til the end of this month. I also decided to sign up with them as an affiliate, that's how impressed I am! If you want to sign up with Memebox, use my link here! Like I said above, there are so many boxes to choose from, and prices are great too.
