KOREAN MEME BEAUTY BOX- a review!

 I have been stalking my mailman for days... and today was the lucky day!  Just look what has arrived!
This is my MEMEBOX #4 and it is packed full of skin care, hair care and beauty products!!!  It is sold for $23 US +shipping which is super fast!

If you would like to skip past the product descriptions and learn more about how to order a MEME BOX for yourself scroll down to the bottom of the review.


CONTENTS:  there are 10 items (two of which are full size) in box #4 with an unbelievable value of  $103.65!!!

#1.  GOODAL Repair plus essential oils 


This is a fast absorbing, multi-use essential oil, that can be used on your face, hair and nails!  Since it requires only 1-2 drops each time this will last me a while!

sample size 15 ml value $7.20


#2.  LJH Dr's Care Vita propolis Ampoule


 This product intrigues me since it says that it is made with propolis harvested by bees!!!  You can use 2-3 drops directly or mix it in with your moisturizer or hydrating cream!

sample size 5 ml  value $8.67


#3.  Lanoa Natural Soap

This is the first full sized product in my box!  It is 100% natural soap with sulfer, shea butter, chamomile, and lavender!  I am really eager to try this one.  Oh, and the little box it was packaged in is going to be re-purposed for gift giving because it is adorable and smells great too!

product size is 100g     value is $12


#4  The Shampoo Plus-natural waterless shampoo


This is the second full sized product in my box!  It is a very convenient size for your purse or travel bag which is nice because it allows you to cleanse your hair anywhere without water!  It says that it protects against UV rays  and enhances hair follicles.

product size 50 ml    value is $5



#5.  Clio VF 21 Water BB SPF 35 PA
 I was hoping to get a BB cream and I did!  It says it is medium coverage and it fights against wrinkles!

product size 50ml  valued at $20


#6  IOPE Bio Essence Intensive Conditioning 3 day program



This is another one of the products I am super excited to try...and it is enough for a 3 day trial. (although it is a small bottle I think it might actually have enough for a little more than that)   It is an intensive skin enhancing program that is supposed to help clear and smooth your skin's texture over 3 days.   I like that they include the small cotton cloths to apply the solution with.

sample size 18ml     valued at $6.43


#7.  Laneige Snow Crystal Pure Lip Gloss.

 This is a gel based , high sheen lip gloss that is a rosy tint with micro glitter that is supposed to create the illusion of a full, juicy lip.     I really like the size of this as I normally find regular lip glosses too big.

product sample size 3g    valued at $12

#8 T.E.N Cremorlab Mineral Treatment Essence


This is a curious product for me and unlike anything else I have ever tried before.  It looks like water, and smells a little bit like a doctor's office or hospital.  You apply it to your face after you cleanse so I am guessing it will act as a toner.  ( I will have to get back to you on that)  It mentions that it can help minimize pores so I am super excited!

product size is 100ml  valued at $13.34

#9  Peripera Peri's Tint Mini Mandarin Juice tint gloss


When I opened the box this was the first thing that caught my eye!  The packaging is too stinkin' cute!  Oh my gosh!!!  The box is like a little purse, and inside the lip/cheek stain is in a small glass container with the same art work on the cap!  The description says it is an orange/red bite that lasts up to 5 hours.

sample size is 2.5 ml and value of  $2.69

#10.  Danahan Bon Yeon Jin Essence


I love beauty products and great value as much as the next person but can you tell how beautiful this box is from my photo!??  I will surely be taking this box and re-purposing it into jewellery or something else that is pretty!   SO...this item is an anti- wrinkle serum for your face and hands that is supposed  to enhance your skin's regeneration and elasticity.

sample size is 12ml and valued at $16.32

MEMEBOX

Memebox is a Korean based company that puts together collections of 6-8 beauty products featuring ones for skin care, hair care as well as some makeup items in affordable boxes.  It is worth noting though that my box came with an unheard of TEN products!   They are not a traditional subscription service like we are used to here in the United States because you don't actually subscribe to them.  When Memebox creates a new box it is given a number assignment (this review was done on box #4) and they put it up for sale on their website.  They are limited so once they are gone, they are sold out, and you can wait for the next one.  It used to be that there was a long time between them but with their growing popularity they have changed that are are now posting boxes that are pre-ordered   as much as a month in advance!!   You can check out their website at Memebox.com.

COST OF THE BOX:

Each box is $23 which is an incredible value  no matter how you look at it!  The company says you will receive 6-8 products but I got 10 in this box.  Although I'm happy that two were full sized I liked that got a wide variety of a bunch of different things that I normally wouldn't be able to try otherwise.    I coupon, shop sales and do samples and reviews of products all the time and this is still a force to be reckoned with when it comes to bang for your buck because for around $30 they sent out just over $103 worth of product!  Since the company is doing expedited shipping from Korea, they also charge "from $5.99~$7.99 and it varies by region and shipping to North American to Europe would be $6.99."

    1. Thanks for the secondary use of the BB cream as a highlighter/concealer! I haven't tried Benetint, but I agree with you that this little tint has the cutest packaging ever!
