Something awesome this way comes.

I recently got a surprise package from Memebox and was blown away with how awesome the product is. I have seen a lot of posts about how people don't want to see Memebox brand items in up coming boxes but this gift might have changed my mind. They partnered up with another brand to bring us top quality Korean products. As you can see from my lips above you can control how much color or how bright this product appears. For me this is an Awesome Pink color. It adds just enough color without being overly bring. It goes on smooth, is not sticky, and adds so much moisture to the lips. If you can't tell I love the formula and would totally buy more of this on its release date. Want to try it for yourself? Click the image below and check the shop on Oct23rd!

Memebox Special #42 OMG 3

So I looked at spoilers for this box about 2 hours before I received it myself. Disappointed that I couldn't wait a couple of hours.

1) On the Body Makeolli Soap ($12)

So this is a milky white rice wine soap. Apparently this is a big health trend in Korea. It has good bacteria similar to how yogurt has bacteria that you need. This does not make me say OMG like everything from OMG 1 though. Its a decent soap but belongs in something like a global box.

2) Cleomee Three-Layer Perfume Donkey Oil Mist ($59) 

I love this product! This was a great spoiler unfortunately it was the only thing that made me go OMG awesome in the box. Is it because I am getting use to Korean cosmetics lol. It smells great although I can't really place my finger on it. Maybe like hair spray idk but I love it. The three layers is very cool. You have to shake it up each time you use it. Does it hydrate? It's oil so yes. Is it oily? Not really it absorbs wicked fast.

3) Migabee Bee Venom & Honey Cream ($54)

This is a wicked heavy product. The packaging is a heavy glass container. This reminds me a lot of the Benton Snail Bee line, without the awesome snails. Again, I'm not saying OMG. This could still be an awesome product and work wonders on you. Look at the price too more than the cost of the box. I just want to be wowed again.

4) Tonymoly Delight Tint Crayon 06 Neon Pink ($8)

The color is sooo pink! This would be awesome for the clubs if I went to them also if I had a black light which I don't. The card says it is glow in the dark and I tested this. It is not. So I'm guessing that means black light... Might keep this for the off chance I come in contact with a black light and still have it.

5) Tosowoong Platinum Pore Tightening Pack ($19)

So this is suppose to control black heads and impurities. I tried it because I am always looking for something for my nose to make the pores look smaller. This didn't do a crazy job on just my nose. But I will try again later. It looks like a dark red/brown mud mask too me. This is a huge product to at 150 ml it is going to last awhile. This item is available for purchase in the Memebox store.

Over all this box cost $29 and has a Memebox retail value of $152. There are a few things I really like and am glad I got the box for. Memebox please go crazy on OMG4! I want to be like ew gross ok put it on my face lol. I wish there were more products to try like even a $1 face mask. I will keep my OMG 4 box and keep my faith in Memebox.

Memebox Superbox #53 My Honey Box

I bought the Honey box because the first one was so amazing. It had a lot of honey/snail items I was interested in. Also because I have acne and honey can be good for killing bad bacteria and keeping it at bay. 

Here is the description on the Memebox site of what the box should be:

"Bigger, better, and sweeter than Honey Box #1, My Honey Box oozes with all things honey to enhance your natural beauty. Sweet!

Honey is a pretty amazing substance and there is a lot more to it than just a sweet tasting treat. Hailed as the queen of natural beauty enhancers, honey is rich in natural sugars and minerals that work to nourish and repair damaged skin. Its natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties stop bacterial growth and heal infections, while its antioxidant-rich formula creates a youth-preserving veil over the face to protect against wrinkle-causing free radical and improve the skin’s radiance!

Take this one-of-a-kind honey challenge with Memebox to visibly see and feel an improvement in your skin!"

I apologize on the tight crop all these images have. My mistake with not saving the original file.

HOW to #5 At the end of your skin care routine apply the cream evenly over your face massage in. It can also be used as an over night sleep pack.

How to #7 apply to lips. Can also be used overnight for intense lip treatment.

1) Migabee Antipollution Re-Peeling ($37)

I love peeling masks. This may go back to my fascination in grade school with plastering my hands in glue and peeling it off. Not only does this have honey but bee venom too. And like I stated above its great for blackheads, whiteheads, and sebum! Great pick for this box. 

2) Mi Click Manuka Honey Treatment ($5)

This is one product I did not expect to get in this box. Who knew bee vomit was good for your hair too? I guess its good for everything. It's sooo yum! Getting off track now I'm hungry. I cut my hair like once a year sooo this is great! lol It will keep the split ends at bay yay!

3) Enesti Apple & Honey Shea Butter Hand Cream ($5)

Ok so the card looks nothing like the product int the box. I kind of like the packaging we got more anyway. That's pointless, how's the product? I don't know... I don't use hand creams remember unless they are crazy cool or mango ooor something. Any who, this will make a great Xmas gift for my Mom so it goes in her box until then. 

4) from Nature Multi Effect Collagen Honey Mask ($1)

Can someone explain to me why masks always tell you to use toner first? Wouldn't you want to open your pores first? Ok so I actually used this. I didn't save it shocker. I had crazy bad skin, family memebers <= haha that just happened. So like I was saying family members were telling me that my face was breaking out. G thanks that must be something they think I wouldn't notice looking in the mirror every day... The mask was good. No irritation after. A few days later and other memebox products later, I think my face is clearing up. 

5) EDMONG Honeybee Water Cream ($29)

What can I say about this... I do like water creams gel things like this, but now I have too many. I this this would be up there with the snail one if the snail one would just get used up already... Do you know what I mean? Can not use products fast enough. Then you get something cooler and you're tempted to have two of the same thing open.

6) Daycell Essential Honey Lift Massage Cream ($20)

This is like a mask for the entire night! You wash it off in the morning. It's mainly for dehydrated sagging skin buttt I bet it helps with acne too. Also at 150ml this thing is big! It is going to last for forever.

7) Pure Smile Snail Lip Treatment Honey ($5)

I love to make my mom try snail things because it freaks her out but she always ends up loving it. This is no different. I love how it feels, not sticky at all. It's very smooth as well and stays put for a long time. My lips are always dry and I'm always rubbing at them which gets me yelled at, but with this they stay sooo hydrated. In fact oh no where is my lip gloss I am having with drawls lol. 

Over all thoughts: It was not what I expected. After reviewing the first Honey box I might even like it better than that one. I like how you got a variety of different types of products for your hair, lips, face, and hands. The box cost $29 and has a total retail value of $102. So you more than triple your value and you get to try a bunch of foreign things you would have never gotten to try without Memebox. 

It has been awhile so I am sure they will come out with another box like this soon. Until then you can click the image below to brows Memebox's current boxes. 

Memebox Superbox #54 Pinkaholic

I have a newly found fascination with the color pink. First impression <3 it 

click on any image to make it larger.

1) Style Y Glossy Pit Crayon Lipstick 01 Strawberry ($11)

At first this looks very pink. I like to wear more natural tones on my lips. However, once I tried it I loved it because since it's sheer the pink isn't so bright. It's also very smooth and moisturizing yet not sticky. My only concern would be putting it in my bag. The twist at the end of mine is very lose and anything that touches it makes the lipstick move so much its going to hit the lid and smoosh. So I will keep it at home because I want to keep it for a long time :) I give it an 8 out of 10 because it works amazingly but has that one defect with packaging.

2) Style color Fit Bling Bling Auto Crayon Shadow 01 pink ($9)

I'm starting to really love this brand. This shade is super cute. This will probably go very well with my naked 3 palette. Love easy to use eyeshadows like these crayons, they make applying makeup on the go so fast and easy. All you need to apply it is the crayon and you finger to blend. 

3) Shara Shara Aurora Liquid Highlighter 01 pink ($8)

I actually bought this box for this highlighter which was the spoiler item for the box. I didn't have a highlighter like this that I loved yet. This product is amazing to. I took some swatches of it, it blends in more than the pictures show but I wanted to give you some idea of what it does. After expertly applying my foundation with my new beautyblender from Birchbox, I applied this to my under eyes, cheeks, and a little to the nose, forehead, and chin, I glowed! Not in the creepy, like man you shine... are you ok way but like a healthy what are you eating and can I have some sort of way. I give this a 10 out of 10 because I love it and would buy it again. I love the application as shown above its like a little spatula.

4) Insobeau Perfect Deep Clean One-Step Cleansing Water ($22)

Where have you been all my life? Ok so I'll admit it I'm lazy... I get tired and fall asleep and right before I do I think I could totally wash my face of all this makeup... and then I think no I'm tired that's a lot of work. I hate large routines that take too much time to get ready or go to bed. This is amazing for people like me lol! With most makeup removers or cleansers you need to wash it off your face after. This you don't because its actually good for your face. This is great for traveling or camping! It is a little sticky but it absorbs in well. I woke up with a clean, soft, healthy looking face. This so gets a 10 out of 10... I hope I never run out! Also, you kind of have to shake it on a cotton swap or something because the bottle is hard to squeeze. 

5) Secret Key Color Recipe The Pink Cream ($34)

This is not something I personally think I need now at 24. In a few years a product like this will be a god send. I do like these gel type creams, they really freshen up the face. This one fights wrinkles and tightens up sagging skin. I tried to take a picture of the inside there are small little pink beads. 

6) Awesome Awesome Glow Glow Balm ($35)

I feel like I am echoing here but that is what the card says. Is it wrong of me for loving that the lid is like a shiny rainbow? This is the healthy glowing thing I was talking about before. The card reccommends different ways to use it like a lip balm, hand cream, or even a highlighter. I am most excited to try it as a highlighter. I will update once I do. 

Over all, I found 2-3 things that I can't live without. The box cost $29 and had a total value of $119! So happy with this box! I hope you found this review helpful. If you agree or have any questions let me know below! Thanks for reading.

Birchbox October 2014 Fanfare

I absolutely love this months Birchbox! Even more so in person! 

1) ModelCo Party Proof Lipstick in Kitty 

This was my sample choice this month and I love it! It smells like strawberries! Its very close to my lip color which is awesome because it adds just a little bit of color. And like the card says this is great for a natural look or perfect for when you're focusing on eyes.

2) Sage and Fasten

I'm glad this is in the form of a rollerball instead of a small spray bottle. My box did smell like some leaked though and you could hear a lot of empty space if you shook it. I do like the smell, its very strong though so put it on lightly at first.

3) dr. brant pores no more vacumm cleaner

I was happy to finally get this. You just have to put this on your nose or trouble spots for several minutes and wash off. I have more of a sebum issue than black heads so I didn't see much difference but I'm going to keep using it to see if it just takes more time.

4) Camille Beckman Tuscan Honey Glycerine Hand Therapy

Cute packaging for the sample. I love the flower and that this company sealed it, most in the US don't. I still don't love hand creams but to each their own.

5) beautyblender + solid cleanser

Finnally we have the beautyblender.  Probably the biggest thing in my box this month and the thing I was most excited to get. There is a big hype about this product and I have been wanting to try it out and debunk it. I usually use my fingers, a brush, or the sponge the product came with to apply concealer and powder foundation. Every method that I tried was either too much foundation or too little. With the beatutyblender it was perfect though. I was in awe at how flawless my face looked. I have several breakouts and this did a wonderful job of applying product and blending without removing product from the trouble spots. No expert hand needed either you just dab ii on the product and dab it on your face... AMAZING!

I am overly impressed with this box so I am getting rid of Ipsy and keeping this. I only paid $10 for this box. After get points for reviews it will only have cost me $5. The beautyblender alone makes this box  amazing. I am very happy.

Memebox Superbox #51 My Cute Wishlist 2

Click any image to make it larger

Number 2 and 6 have the how to erased because I accidentally had a water mark on all these image for two boxes and then deleted all the images without the water marks. At least they are the obvious product. 2 use the sponge to pat it on your checks. 6 rub balm on clean lips.

1) Sally's Box Friendly Berry Berry Lip Patch ($3)

I like how affordable Sally's box products are. I also have been dying to try a lip patch out. I think I might save this for a hot date though. The card says to use twice a week and to leave on for 10-20 minutes... I need more of these lol.

2) It's Skin Babyface Petit Blusher ($7) 

This is another great item that I will put in my MUA bag for my photoshoots. It has a cute little design in the powder too. I always throw away the puffs though because they are just terrible, and use a brush instead. I love the packaging that this brand does too. Its so cute! I'm also glad I didn't get orange or purple. This color was just right.

3) RoseMine Perfumed Hand Cream ($12)

I dislike hand creams for many reasons. Those are all person preferences, but especially because this one is perfumed I will not try it. I don't want to eat and taste or smell my hand lotion with my food. It's not for me. 

4) Evas Vitamin Cleansing Dessert ($18)

Removes dirt and makeup like every cleaner should! Also goes deep into the pores to clear out acne and black head. After some reviews I'm in I'll try it. I got the coconut one from the Caocao box that I was saving but this one smells sooo good. I love fruity smells! So I see what other people were saying about it leaving your face all sweaky when you wash. Once your face is dry though it goes away. And if it dries your face just use a mask or moisturizer afterwards. For example at night the item below is perfect!

5) SaintPeau Collagen Pudding Sleeping Pack ($36)

This thing is like Jello it looks rubbery, its just plain cool. At 24 I don't have wrinkles but I can image this will still work wonders on my face, making it look and feel softer. So you put a thick layer on and it kind of dries. It feel sticky. I have a dark pillow case and sleep on my side. I didn't see any on the pillow but I'm sure it rubs off on it a bit. Anyway my face felt amazeballs in the morning! Totally working this into my skin care routine. 

6) The YEON Style Y Fruity Swirl Lip Balm ($8)

So I go the green lime twist one. I have sooo may lip products this personally doesn't interest me. I don't want something I have to stick my fingers into. But to each their own. I sure this is a great product for someone who loves limes!

Over all this box doesn't make me go awwww like Cute #1 All those products were adorable. The packaging was either animals or just over the top cute like cupcakes. It was a lot to live up to.  The only thing from this box that comes close is the blush. I will say that I do like most of the products in this box anyways. I love the wine soap, it smells yummy and works. The Collagen pudding alone is worth it for this box, because it works wonders! And the lip mask has been on my list for awhile.

This box cost $23 and its total value is $84. I have 2 more versions of this box coming and I can't wait to get them!
