#memeboxglobal

Memebox Global Editions are random boxes every month. There is no theme so you never know what you're going to get. It's usually an amazing value, and most likely heavy on the skin care products. After all of this time, this is my first Global box. My husband gifted this to me, using all of his Memepoints from a promotion Memebox was having, when I forced him to open an account.

This box was $23 plus $6.99 shipping, and arrived in about two weeks, after the shipping date. 

This is the last of my recent boxes to review. I went from a memedrought to a sudden overload!

Here is what I found when I opened up the box, super jam packed:

RiRe Style Black Head Brush Cleanser & Skinny Black Head Closing Serum 40ml + 20ml $18. This is neat. It's packed with black rice, black beans, and black sesame, rich in protein and iron.  The first item is a brush that removes oil, dirt, blackheads, ect. After using the brush you use the skinny serum to control oil and close the pores back up.  I already received a blackhead scrub brush item in a previous box so this one is going up on my swap/sell board. 

Elizavecca Shrink Lifting R Pro 120ml $28. When I first saw this item, I thought it was gimmicky and thought about swapping it. It says it will literally shrink the size of calves.  It contains mandarin extracts, coffee extracts, sage oil, peppermint, winter green and mate leaf extracts.  Then I had a brain wave that it might be nice for vacation this winter, after long days of walking around Disney with my family.  Tired legs saviour? I went to my MemeBox FB group and asked for opinions, and they all said it was excellent and felt amazing on tired legs. SOLD! So excited to try this out in January! I may have to bring it along for my pre-Christmas shopping trip too!

Hair+ Velvet Nutri-Injection 12ml $5.  I love receiving hair treatments, and I also love one time use products because it doesn't add to my Memehoard.  You apply this product to damaged ends and then just dry your hair. I don't really have damaged hair, but this couldn't hurt, right?

Unni Recipe Vitamin Recharger Mist 130ml $15. Oh this looks nice! It's a mist though. Agh. I hate mists. Like I've said before, they just don't fit into my routine. This contains vitamins and hyaluronic acid and free of lots of bad chemicals.  It looks very nice, but since I don't enjoy being misted, it's also going to my swap board. 

Mizon Snail Reovery Gel Cream 45ml $24. Yay snail cream! Snail mucin is super good for your skin you know. Even though it's creepy. This product looks awesome, but I have soooo many creams that I can't justify keeping this. I know it will go to a loving home.  Greedy self wants to keep it, but practical self knows I would get around to using it until 2019.  

Delskin Centella 90 Powder Ampoule 30ml.  Yay an ampoule! I love these skin quenching ampoules.  It contains centella asiatica extracts.  Good for reddened skin! YES! My poor pink and white skin loves things that help it to de-stimulate. Very pleased with this! I also only have one ampoule so this is a welcome addition to my mound of products.

So those were six great products!  A couple of months ago, the Global boxes were disasters, and I was hoping they had learned from those in time for this new Global box, which I now see the certainly did. Way to go with this one, Memebox!

Here they are, all lined up for their family photo:

I've had this box for a couple of weeks now, but I am just getting time to unbox it for you guys! 

So, I bought this because it was grouped with Skin Food and I didn't want to wait for standard shipping so I bought the bundle to get a free upgrade to express shipping. 

This Memebox box was $29.00 and I feel like it was a waste of money... sadly.  Faceshop is a shop that I could always take or leave. Sure I would spend my money there when I was in Jeju, because at the time it was the only cosmetics shop in my town.  But, with other choices around once I moved to a larger city, I never bothered to enter.  

The total value for this box was $43. That is super low for a $29 box. I would have rather used the $29 to buy a few things separately that I actually wanted. Ohhhh well. That's the risk we take right? 

So here it is! I think I'll show you all of the items first this time:

I'm really not into "cute" these days. It used to be my thing, but I feel like I really outgrew that stage of life a few years ago. I know lots of Memeboxers will love the cute factor though. My three year old loved the little kitty hand cream container. 

So let's start with the info cards, and then we will go item by item.

Calendula Eden Essential Moisture Cream 50 ml $9. This cream should restore your skin's most natural glow. Packed with calendula extracts and hyaluronic acid to "firm up sagging skin". I'm not sure if I have sagging skin but hyaluronic acid sounds promising! 

I do have this on my swap board right now because I just have to many moisturizers, but maybe I will pull it off and save it for the dry winter. Hmmm.. I think it's time I take an inventory. 

Lovely Me:ex Pastel Cushion Blusher 5g $7. This is a cute little blush. I received the random choice of Plum. It's not really too much of a plumy colour so that's a plus! I have SO many blushers at the moment so I thought of swapping this, but may just add it to the makeup I let my daughter play with.

Lovely Me:ex Mini Pet Hand Cream 30ml $6. This little hand cream isn't really special. I don't like hand cream pots, I definitely prefer the squeeze type but my three year old daughter thought this was adorable. I will probably let her have this to play with. I received the baby powder scent. 

Lovely Me:ex Dessert Lip Balm 6g $8 This is actually pretty adorable isn't it?  A little jam pot of strawberry jelly lip gloss. Awwe!  So sweet. It actually smells really delicious and is quite moisturizing! It comes with a little honey pot stick to apply as well! I'm happy with this and I'm curious how the other flavours smell.  

Lovely Me:ex You & Eyes 05 Sand Brown 1.6g $5.  A little single eyeshadow in a sparkly gold colour. The colour is nice and I would never say no to a gold eyeshadow.  The packaging is cute with a little moustache.  I've used it once and it's a run of the mill eye shadow, but it's cute and I'm happy to have this. 

Milk Plus Calming Moisture Shower Cream $8 I think I was happiest with this item. Funnily, the original memecard described this as a body lotion, and tonnes of my memefriends slathered it on their bodies and were like "Ew! What the...", So guessing it works a lot better as a body wash haha!  Anyway I was really happy to have this nice large full sized shower cream! 

So, there we go! I'm going to give this box a 2/5 because of value and items. I know it was probably a great box for some people, just not my taste.  

So, go ahead and run over to Memebox and try your luck at your own mystery beauty box! 

Use code 8XLCKU for $5 off $30 or more. 

Banila Co.! So, to be honest, I only bought this box because I wanted express shipping on my Etude House box.  I thought it couldn't be THAT bad, and I could always sell the items if it was. Turned out to be one of my favourite boxes ever!

So, this Memebox was $32, and for this and the Etude box combined, the shipping was $6.99 for express 3-5 days shipping upgrade. I know I used points, so it was probably much cheaper than that for me. (Yay!)

Let's get to it!

They really stuffed this box full!!  I had a hard time getting everything back into the box once I had it out. Although it was a really tiny little cardboard box to begin with.

So, here are the nice little info cards that came in the box:

The first item in the box is the Banilla Co. Clean it Zero 100ml + Free Sample Size 7ml $22. WHAT! Okay. So when I saw this, I didn't care what else was in this box. I am SO happy they included this item! I have been eyeing it for months and ALMOST bought it. Plus the free sample? Holy! I am SO grateful for the free sample to give me a chance to try it before contaminating the big jar and realizing I didn't like it.

No chance of that.

This cleanser is fantastic.  It's step one of the Korean 2 step cleansing routine (1. Oil cleanse 2. Foam cleanse).

It starts out like a sorbet, and melts into your skin to dissolve all traces of makeup. After you rinse it off, you use a foam or cream cleanser to wash all of the rest off.

It is SO much better than the other oil cleanser I use, and really cuts down on mess and awkwardness. THUMBS UP! 

Banila Co. Prime Primer Classic 30ml.  $22

When I saw this item, I was like "meh", I will never stray from my fantastic pore primers. I decided just to try it just in case. Wow! It seriously is fantastic! I was afraid it was going to be more like a serum, but it's a really really good primer that leaves your skin seriously smooth and ready to accept a nice coat of BB cream.  I would absolutely recommend this to anyone, and will probably end up buying more when this one is empty. Phewf, that was close! Glad I tried before passing on it.

Banila Co. Claypatra Facial Scrub 120ml $15

Again, so excited to see this in the box. I've heard great things about this Claypatra line, but have never tried any. I can always use a great exfoliater, and this one looks pretty good, containing Dead Sea mud.  You apply to a dry face and rub it in cirucular motions, then rinse. I prefer scrubs I can use in the shower on a wet face, but this is good too!

Banilla Co Eye Love Gel Liner Natural Black 4g $11

This is just a standard gel liner that you apply with a brush.  I will be passing this on, since I don't use this type of liner, but it's very cute and will hopefully make someone else happy :)

Banila Co. Glam Must Luster Lipstick 3.5g $14

This lipstick is so cute and I love the packaging. You could either get the pink or the orangey red. I got the orangey red, so with my pink cheeks and undertones it's a fail for me.  I'm going to pass this one along but it is a nice lipstick (or it looks to be anyway!)  

Banila Co. Vanila Tint Balm Pink Illusion 5g $9

This is just a regular lip balm. It's nice and has a slight tint but looks pretty clear in the jar. Normally I wouldn't be excited at all about a lip balm, but I really like this one, especially with winter coming up. I do prefer lib balm in a tube, since it kind of freaks me out getting it on my fingers but I will let it slide this time.

So that's all the products! I liked 4 out of 6 so that's pretty good I think, for a box that I had no expectations about.

Here is the pretty line up for you:

My Honey Box finally arrived! I saw spoilers of this box ages ago from the girls who got this with express shipping. So tick tock tick tock, it arrived! 

This box I believe was $29 plus $6.99 shipping, but I had a tonne of Memepoints burning a hole in my pocket, so I got this baby for $4.00 plus shipping.  

Seven full sized items in this box! Ready to see the lineup?

Doesn't that look AMAZING?! For $4.00?! WHAT!

Okay so I will get right to it!

The first item is Migabee Antipollution RE-Peeling 100ml $37. 

It is a peel off face pack.  You rub it on your face, and it will exfoliate all of the dead skin. It contains bee venom, honey, propolis and royal jelly. Doesn't that sound amazing? I have too many peeling gels, so I swapped this for an Iope Air Cushion (YESSSSS!), but seriously, this looks like a wonderful product. 

----------------------------------------------------------------

Mi Click Manuka Honey Treatment 30ml $5. 

Manuka Honey treatment delivers deep nourishment, repairs damaged ends, and provides an intensive protein care to your dry hair.  Ohhh Yay! Doesn't that sound great!? I can't WAIT to use this product in my hair.  It smells really nice, but not like honey, more like Korean skin care.  The bottle will probably do me about 3-4 treatments, so not bad. 

----------------------------------------------------

Enesti Apple & Honey Shea Butter Hand Cream $5

Honey and apple formula.  Ok. This does not smell like honey, but it DOES smell like amazingness. Holy. It smells sooooooooo good! Like sweet apples. I was originally going to swap this, but I'm going to run over to my swap board now and remove it, now that I've tried it. Phewf, that was close! 

-----------------------------------------------------

From Nature Multi Effect Collagen Honey Mask $1

So, we now usually always expect to receive a mask as a full sized item. It used to really annoy me but I guess I've mellowed. This mask looks great, and I'm happy to receive it! I would have been happier though if there was more than one. Come on Memebox! It's only $1! Spring for a three pack! :)

-------------------------------------------------------

Edmong Honeybee Water Cream 50ml $29

This was the item which was a spoiler for this box. It looked so amazing and ultimately pushed me over the edge. Ironically, it ended up being my least favourite and I sold it.  Ha.  It was too gel-like for me, and I thought it kind of smelled like glue.  It does look like honey, and is very moisturizing, but not for me.  

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Daycell Essential Honey Lift Massage Cream 150ml. $20.  

So I thought this was body massage cream, but it's actually for your face, and it is SO luxurious! I love it! This huge bottle will last me the rest of my life. It doesn't smell a lot like honey, but it smells nice. It leaves a super silky lovely texture to the skin. It is a bit stringy and cool as well.  It's a sleeping pack actually, that you apply at night time, and rinse off in the morning. I love it!

------------------------------------------

Pure Smile Snail Lip Treatment Honey 10g $5. 

Yippee! A snail product! I love this little guy. It tingles when you first apply, kind of like a menthol, but feels great and super duper moisturizing. I'm going to keep this on my night stand to apply before bed.  Contains honey extracts, snail mucus extracts (you get used to the idea), grape seed oil and shea butter.  Great product!

------------------------------------------

So that's the whole box. The total value was $102.00. Not bad for $29.00, but slightly lower than some other memeboxes.  I loved the box though, I'm very happy I received it.
