MEMEBOX BABY SOFT SKIN

Skin as soft as a baby's bum or so this box is aimed at, here's what's inside:

1. DR MJ Real Mucin Restore Foam Cleanser 180ml Full Sized ($34)
I already use the DR MJ cushion which is lovely and dewy and the idea of a cleanser with snail mucin and mung bean sounds good to me. If it does what it promises then I will be very happy as a lot of cleansers leave my skin feeling tight. There is no smell and it seems quite foamy.

2. ETTANG Modelling Take-out Cup in Propilis 17g Full Sized ($3)
Whenever these appear I always think it's a bit of a cop put and way of filling a box cheaply. I bought the value set a while back and have received more individually in boxes. These give 2 good mask applications and if you like mixing your own packs they are pretty good, they dry hard and you sort of pick them off then rinse.

3. DERMAKEY She's 4th Aurora Skin Elixir 3D Perfectioner  50ml Full Sized ($104)
So this is the star of the box and if to be believed costs $104? Meant for hydrating and evening out skin tone it is a niacinimide based product which I like so this better be good.

4. BAVAR Max Calming Cream 50g Full Sized ($47)
Rose hip oil is great for the skin and this is an intensive moisturiser that is meant to have a long lasting effect. Again it would seem quite a pricey product.

5. NEOGEN Exidigm Rough Foot & Knee Scrub 60ml Full Sized ($20)
Like the idea of this but at the end of the day it's a foot scrub with knees thrown in. I will give it a go especially on my elbows for the summer. Nice idea.

MEMEBOX ANTI-AGEING

I had hoped for some wonder cure here and whilst there are some good products here I think this box could have been taken to a whole new level, it is still a good box but just not wowing me. Here is a run down of it's contents and a few thoughts:

1. BORY Wrinkle Repair Serum 50ml Full Sized ($48)
This is probably my favourite item in here. BORY have recently made an appearance and are a professional brand, by that I think they are aimed at people working in the beauty industry. I own 3 other products in this range and have used them for about a week now and so far I have had good results. This serum has EGF which boosts collagen production and Acetyl Hexa Peptide which mimicks botox. I use Toosowong Syn-ake products too so will be interesting to see if this feels the same on the skin.

2. ESTHETIC HOUSE Collagen Herb Complex Eye Cream 100ml Full Sized ($42)
Another eye cream with key ingredients of marine collagen, herbal complex and adenosine. Although it is marketed as for the yes it can be used on the brow and round the mouth too so maybe a good job as it's a huge tube.

3. ENESTI Day to Day Pomegranite Acerola Foaming Cleanser 160g Full Sized ($14)
I love the ENESTI oatmeal cleanser, I find they really get my mascara off after a night out and it does feel drying or tight after. This one seems to be the same but a different scent.

4. PURESMILE Mask 5 Pack Box Full Sized ($6)
For cheap masks you can't go wrong with Puresmile. I have used them many times and they have plenty of essence and fit my face well without having to cut into them with a scissors. This pack has one each of ginseng, pearl, bee venom, snail and vitamin so a good selection and new ones to me, mostly I have fruity ones.

5. TOSOWOONG Snail Natural Pure Cream Full Sized 45ml ($26)
Love Tosowoong as a brand use lots of their products. I have the lotion version of this cream and they contain 2 ingredients my skin likes snail and galactomyces.

MEMEBOX DETOX & RENEW

 There's a line on the info card that reads ' while the more the merrier applies to most things in life the growing party of pore dwellers is never fun'! I will miss these one liners..
Very happy I ordered this box. Everything new to me and 5 full sized items. Here's what's in the box:

1. GU:AAM METHOD Black Pearl Protein (Conchiolin) 35 Whitening Serum 60 ml Full Sized ($30)
This is a serum that goes on after cleansing and is aimed at skin renewal, detoxing and eliminating toxins. It has black pearl extracts, bifida and AHA all of which support cell renewal. It has no chemical, frangrances, preservatives, parabens and other nasties and it is quite a large size for a serum.

2. YADAH Anti Trouble Bubble Cleanser 150ml Full Sized ($27)
I actually like Yadah cleansers and their lipsticks however this is aimed at acne which gladly I don't have issues with, the fact that it has Salicylic acid may sway me to try it though.

3. MAYAN Bio Mineral Tox Mist 100ml Full Sized ($44)
This can be used to refresh or set make up, it's full of fruit extracts and royal jelly and it has amazing little 'secret beads' that are made with ions inside. It actually rattles as if it has stones inside. I am goign to use this after cleansing and as a setting spray, what a  great product to put in this box.

4. ARAON Detox Skin Essence 100ml Full Sized ($34)
Like the idea of a detox essence and this one has green tea and maple water which sounds very cleansing. It's meant to be massaged into the face after cleansing to give a brighter even skin tone and smooth and plump.

5. ESTHETIC HOUSE Vitamin 3000 Vitamin B BVita- Capsule Cream 30ml Full Sized ($24)
This is for inflammed skin and contains pure vitamin B . It can be added to other moisturisers and is described as a multi purpose product. Good for the treatment of spots and can see it being nice for any irritated bits. Really liking this stuff.

I love this box and everything in it and would recommend it if it ever gets re-stocked go and grab it!

MEMEBOX SPECIAL #44 VERY BERRY

I was glad to get this box as I like berry scents. There are 7 full sized products:

1. Skin CRONies CRONiesAronia Moisture Cream 50ml Full sized ($63)
Aronia (King's berries) aka 'a gift from heaven' contains the highest level of anti-oxidants in the berry family. This cream is packed with that and hyaluronic and many herbal extracts and is aimed at Softening, Smoothing and Firming.

2. Konad Niju Blueberry Moisture Hand Cream 60ml Full sized ($6)
A blueberry scented cream with shea butter and olive oil. Sounds good to me!

3. Swanicoco Super Brightening Hydro Solution 20ml  Full sized 20ml ($33)
I am intrigued and excited by this not least by the weird packaging, it seems to be 2 syringes and you mix a bit of each one. One is repairing and brightening and the other is radiance boosting and you can add more or less of one depending on what effect you want. Bit of a faff for some maybe but I like the novelty. This product is based on acai berry which is good for firming and anti-ageing

4. Reinplatz Essence Mask 23g Full Sized ($2)
I had the foot pack from this brand and it worked well. If the face one is as good I will try and find these online. I got blueberry aimed at replenishing and rejuvenating, there is also mulberry for cleansing and nourishing and raspberry for firming.

5. Borntree Vita Berry Cleansing Foam 150ml Full sized ($48)
That's a hefty price for a cleanser, again it's acai berry so should be good.

6. e choice Fall in Love Berry Body Lotion 120g Full sized ($3)
Not often we get body lotions in memeboxes so I'm happy this was included. It's a blueberry and cranberry combo and smells lovely, not too sweet or sickly.

7. Yadah Lovely Lip Tint Stick 4.3g Full sized ($10)
I would cal this a lip balm really. I got strawberry there was also Cherry Punch. Apparently it adjusts to the temperature, PH level and moisture level of your lip giving you a unique colour. 

MEMEBOX LUCKYBOX #13

Again another good box. I like Lucky boxes as they usually contain a couple of stand out products. Here's the contents of the box:

1. SHARA SHARA Tempting Avacado Chocolate Massage Cream 100ml Full sized ($11)
I have used this before and the smell is amazing, it's a mix of avacado oil, cocoa and banana extract. You rub it all over your face for about 5 minutes then rinse and it's a lovely treatment for a spa night.

2. YADAH Anti-T Spot Cream 15g Full Sized ($15)
Yaddah is a good brand and their cleansers work well however I don't get spots so won't use this at all. It contains lots of herby ingredients and aloe vera.

3. LASSIE'EL Night Miracle Sleeping Packs 15g Full sized ($6)
These are adorable to look at and I now have the ful set, avacado, egg, mango and pearl shell. Again another product that is not easily available. I've not used any yet as they are too cute!

4. MISE EN SCENE Perfect Serun 70ml Full Sized ($9)
I love the conditioner treatment from this range and have 4 tubes of it and will buy it again, I love L'oreal Mythic Oil too and think this will be similar. It contains 7 different oils - argan, camelia, olive, jojoba, coconut, apricot and marula. It can be used on wet or dry hair which is always a bonus.

5. DR MJ Moisture Bounce Collagen Capsule Cream 50g Full sized ($54)
I have one of these already but haven't used it yet but I have used a couple of the eye creams and really like them. I like this brand and it would seem this is an expensive cream.

6. LA BELLONA Camellia Oleifera Oil Clinic 50g Full Sized ($11)
This is aimed at restoring moisture to dry hair. It's bascially a conditioner your meant to leave in for a few minutes however it comes with a shower cap that is not mentioned on the card so I will probably leave it in for a lot longer and put the cap on.

MEMEBOX COFFEE BREAK WITH DANI

Managed to get my hands on the restock of the collaboration box with youtuber CoffebreakwithDani! I bet you can all guess why I wanted this box...

These collab boxes are meant to be favourites of the person, ususally a youtuber, however I am not cinvinced that can be totally true judging by some of the items in these boxes. I actually don't care anyway as there was one thing in particular I wanted the Miguhara BP Cream! It is not easy to get hold of and costs a fortune so when I saw this I grabbed it immediately.
This is a packed box and now I have it I actually like everything. So here it is:

1.Priori Aroma Moisture Gel Mist Full sized 100ml ($22)
I love mists, my favourite is Dermahouse Aloe so I am happy to get this one, a lavendar base will help with sleeping. It also contains bee venom and is aimed at soothing and purifying the skin.

2. Dewytree Ginseng Nutritious Black Tea Mask 30g ($3)
Never tried a Dewytree mask and not had much experience of Ginseng ones either. This one is for dry skin so suits me. What can I say, it's a sheet mask.

3. Golden Glove Exfoliating Gloves ($22)
Ok a pair of exfoliating gloves that cost $22? I don't think so. I usually end up with these from Christmas body sets and the like and use them once then find they go mouldy if you don't take care of them. I like the feeling they give and will use them.

4. Miguhara BP Cream Full sized 30ml ($37)
This is a Holy Grail for a lot of people. It's a BB and Primer in one and is meant to produce great results. I have looked for it online and could only find one place that wanted $18 for 5ml so you can understand why I wouldn't pay that. I can not wait to see this baby in action.

5. Nuganic Customized Sunblock Full sized 40ml ($45)
Not sure what is meant by customized but it could be that this also has anti-wrinkle and brightening properties. It claims to firm the skin and enhance the compexion,will try it under foundation as a primer in summer.

6. HanskinBio Original Royal Ampoule BB 4.5ML Full size is 35ml and costs ($54)
I have written about this before and I love the stuff. I now have 40ml stored but the tiny bottles are hard to scrape out. If Miguhara can beat this then that's saying something. This stuff covers every imperfection and is flawless.

What a great end to the Meme era for me.

MEMEBOX STOPPING INTERNATIONAL SALES - Where to shop now?

Memebox sent all its' international customers an email yesterday saying that from now on they will only ship to Korea, China and the US.
I can't begin to imagine how much this will cost them in lost sales, however for me I am looking at it in a more positive way. Rather than be stuck with items I don't wish to use from some of the boxes I can now concentrate on using some of the other sellers on ebay and online to improve my buying experience.

Here are some I have had great deals and customer service from:

Tester Korea - An online shop carrying a huge stock and range of brands. They hold regular brand sales and discounts and the more you spend the more discount you get as a member. You will often find good samples in with your order and they always mark your package as a gift and below the customs threshhold for your country. There is also a forum you can join and a section for requesting things you want them to stock.You can find them here http://testerkorea.com/

Innisfree - A good well known brand. I especially like their sheet masks. Unfortunately they mark the true value as I know to my cost so watch the amount you spend. They often do good deals and buy one get one free events and I get emails with discount codes. Right now I have one for 10% off and one for $10 of shipping. They can be found here http://www.innisfreeworld.com/main/index.do

Beauty Net Korea - This store has free shipping which makes it attractive and you get cash back on your purchases. Their prices are competative. They can also be found selling on ebay as f2plus1. I use them a lot. I have never had any customs issue with them either.They are over here http://beautynetkorea.com/

Honestskin - Only used them a couple of times but there were no issues, shipping was quite speedy in comparison to some and they carry a lot of the higher end brands. You can visit them herehttp://honestskin.com/

RoseRoseShop - I like this seller. They have sections where you will find free shipping deals and different discounted items. They give great samples and shipping charges are reasonable. They have great customer service and carry a good selection of brands.They are also on ebay under the names rubyruby shop and bring bring shop. Here they are http://www.roseroseshop.com/en/

Wishtrend - Shipping is pricey but they do carry brands and item you will not find elsewhere. I think shipping is free over something like $69. I have used them before and everything went well and there were no customs charges. http://www.wishtrend.com/

Yesstyle - This site is a co.uk address however they are based in Asia. They are a mix of fashion and beauty and are not always the cheapest but if you shop around you can get some good deals from them. They will also send you lots of email offers. Shipping was fast both times I ordered. Here is their site http://www.yesstyle.co.uk/en/home.html
 

Finally Ebay sellers - The ones I have used and had no issues with are: 


f2plus1 (still trading as this but also as beautynetkorea)
singsing girl (lovely to deal with, fantastic communication and will happily answer questions about items) 
cosmeticmarket 

bringbring shop (aka rubyruby and roserose) 

iamlove shop
Tosowoongkorea (they have a great instagram offer right now, tag them and let them know on your next purchase and you will get a free gift, I got a full size timeshift emulsion!),  
storewithstory
kevincosmetic

Personally if a store has more than 98% feedback I am comfortable using them. Most of these give samples too but I think it's only polite not to expect samples then when you get them it's a charming surprise!

Some others I have heard of but not personally used http://www.qoo10.com/ http://en.koreadepart.com/

Remember to check that these stores ship to your country and don't be put off by dollars or won you can easily convert to your currency in google.

Like I said I have not had customs charges with any of these sellers except Innisfree but obviously if your order was so huge they would have a hard time hiding it as a gift then that's the gamble you take. Happy Shopping!
