BOX DESCRIPTION

It’s the box you’ve all been waiting for!! The Cute Wishlist Box is finally here!

We’ve searched and scoured through the Korean beauty scene to find you all the beauty things adorbs and irresistibly cute! From miniature beauty trinkets to cute face makeup kits and skin care potions, these precious little beauty finds will make you “oooh” because of its trademark Korean charming packaging and “aaahh” because of how cute it makes you look. Carry around these beauty treasures wherever you go and make your friends green with jealousy!

Etude House Missing U Hand Cream 30ml $5 (full size)

Enriched with organic olive oil and shea butter. Etude's adorable Missing U Hand Cream comes in four different scents fiona, green tea, baby powder and peach. Also, it contains no paraben, sulfate, ethanol or artificial colouring and is extremely gentle and nourishing to the skin.

My Thoughts

Super duper cute hand cream. Perfect for keeping on your vanity. I don't think it'll do well with travel, as I have a feeling it would leak. The cream itself is lightweight, good enough for a quick boost of moisture. Though nothing to withstand the winter cold on its way. It does have a love light floral scent.

Beauty People Snow White Special Edition Season 2 1.6gx5ea $54 (full size)

Beauty People's popular eye liner special edition #2 containing only the hottest F/W colour combinations! Mix and match five different eye colours for adding more depth and vibrancy to your eyes. These cream type gel eye liners boost minute size glitter pearls, waterproof formula and a long lasting finish.

My Thoughts

Boy am I super excited to have these. First of, I love the Snow White tin they came in, though I'm not entirely sure whether I will keep them stored in there. Secondly, the formulation is great. They glide right on to your skin opaquely and they really don't budge. I have washed my hand several times and hours later they are still swatched on my hand. I can't wait to play around with these. Perfect for mornings when I'm just way too sleepy to bother with eye shadow's. 

Pure Smile Neco Punch Point Pad Hibiscus & Lemon 17mlx2ea $2 (full size)

Pure Smile's Neco Punch Pad is enriched with vitamin E, collagen, hyaluronic acid, arbutin, hibiscus and lemon grass extracts. And works to moisturize and control excess sebum and secretions to maintain a healthy balance in your skin.

My Thoughts

I haven't opened these yet, so I can't tell you an awful lot. Though I will try them out later tonight and I shall update you guys.

Kocostar Split End Therapy 8ml $6 (full size)

Kocostar's sensational Split End Therapy contains 8 types of amino acid complex which works to prevent hair breakages and static electricity. It's specifically formulated to instantly repair split ends and protect hair from any future damages. An interesting fact about this hair therapy is that you don't need to wash it off after application.

My Thoughts

Another product I have yet to try. At the moment my hair is way too short to try it out. However, it will come in super handy when my hair is long again, as I do suffer from split ends.

Etude House Sweet Recipe Candy Stick 2g $5 (full size)

Enriched with bilberry, sugar cane, sugar maple, orange and lemon extracts. The Sweet Recipe Candy Stick is a gloss type lip tint that moisturizes and plumps up your dry chapped lips for a long lasting radiance.

My Thoughts

This is a nice lip product. It does leave a strawberry red tint, though not long lasting. It moisturizes well, however I cannot confirm nor deny it's plumping powers as my lips are already fairly plump. It has a sweet strawberry candy scent and feels light on the lips.

a;t fox Moisturizing Gel Cream Gyoolpy Tea 10ml $6 (full size)

High concentrates of vitamin c from the Gyoolpy Tea deeply nourishes and moisturizes the skin, leaving a refreshing, lasting glow on your skin. Also, being a gel type cream, it spreads and penetrates into the skin smoothly and without curdling. And at the same time creates a thin, moisture layer over your skin to prevent de-hydration.

My Thoughts

Adorable, adorable packaging! Too bad there's not an awful lot of product in it. The product itself is lightweight and sinks in quickly. It has a generic lotion scent. I'll probably keep the packaging after I've finished the cream inside, as it makes my desk look ever so pretty.

a;t fox Whitening Capsule Jasoyup Herb Tea 10ml $6 (full size)

What makes this cream so special is that it contains the deep hydration of a moisturizing cream and the brightening effect of a whitening essence. The whitening capsules inside the gel cream removes uneven, dark spots on your skin and helps create clearer and naturally glowing skin tone.

My Thoughts

Exactly the same packaging as it's previous sister, but in lilac. The consistency of this is a true gel form. It is also lightweight and skins in quickly, with a light berry scent.

a;t fox Lifting Cream Black Tea 10ml $6 (full size)

If you've been stressing over sagging bags, under your eyes or starting to notice little wrinkles and creases here and there, a;t fox's Lifting Cream Black Tea is just what you're looking for! With its softly melting texture and black tea extracts, this lifting cream will guarantee you healthy younger looking complexion with high resilience and firmness. 

My Thoughts

Again, in the same packaging as it's sisters, but in pink. This one is a cream that is lightweight, though a little heavier than the previous two and has a light sweet scent.

Pure Smile Muddy Girl 15g $1 (full size)

A wash off type mud pack made from naturally derived ingredients such as clay, mud and charcoal. It works to soothe, purify and moisturize the skin, preventing possible dehydration and surface roughening.

My Thoughts

Another product I have yet to test, so I do not have anything to say about it apart from ,a girl can never have enough mud masks.

Overall, a lovely box packed with super adorable packaging. It's just a shame some of them do not contain an awful lot of product. Not really enough to get a good feel for how the product works. However, they do make my desk so much better hehe. I cannot wait to receive My Cute Wishlist 2 next month. Hopefully, it brings products a little more practical.

I rate this box 8/10

Thanks for looking and stay tuned for more MEMEBOX unboxing's.

MEMEBOX K-Style Unboxing

Yeap...that's right. Yet another MEMEBOX unboxing.

What can I say? I'm hooked!

BOX DESCRIPTION

Now, you can recreate whatever K-style look you desire with just the tools in this box!

Unbox all the hottest beauty trends in Korea!

Awesome Aqua Radiance CC Cream 30ml $29 (full size)

This all in one CC cream offers everything from balancing out skin tone & texture, treating fine lines & wrinkles, maintaining moisture/oil balance and covering up skin imperfections! There's no need to worry about which shade it is, because it doesn't change the skin tone but rather brings out your most naturally glowing complexion.

My Thoughts

This is a nice CC cream. It is lightweight with a dewy finish. So oily ladies like myself will have to powder. This CC cream is perfect for those with fairly clear skin. I did have to use a concealer on top to hide blemishes. However, it does even out the skin tone really well. It didn't make my face ghostly like I thought it would, as you can see from the swatch (bottom swatch) that it is a light shade. I do find it a little odd that this contains no SPF, as most Korean face products do. Not that it matters, as I apply an SPF50 sunblock before make up anyways. 

Rire Luxe Auto Gel Eyeliner Choco Brown & Champagne $14 ea (full size)

Waterproof, long lasting and applies smoothly. Choco Brown is the perfect shade for featuring the popular softened yet defined eye makeup that Koreans so enjoy! After all, it's about how natural your makeup looks but at the same time how far from natural it really is.

Champagne works wonders for featuring the sweet baby pink daily makeup also highly popular among Korean ladies.

My Thoughts

I am a fan of these two eyeliners. They really are waterproof, I have washed my hands several times and I still have some of the swatches left on my hand. The champagne shade is perfect for those that love to have the aegyo sal look.

Secret Key Sweet Glam Tint Glow 3.5g $24 (full size)

Secret Key's Sweet Glam Tint Glow is a moisturizing, long wear lip tint for adding colourful radiance and natural glow to your dry, dulled lips.

My Thoughts

I received the shade 01 Baby Pink. Now, don't be fooled by the above image. This product really does give colour and a tint to your lips. At this moment in time, I have worn this for 4 hours and there is still some tint left on my lips after drinking and eating. The tint is a sort of berry pink shade. A lot darker than it looks in the tube. A surprising little product.

Shara Shara Feminine Single Blusher $7

Adorably cute and petite in its packaging, this blusher is extremely long lasting with silica components, which work to keep your skin soft and silky. Plus, it's very easy to carry around and will be perfect for quick makeup fix ups or finish ups by adding some colour and radiance to your pale cheeks.

My Thoughts

This blusher is nice, I received the shade CR01 Soft Coral. As you see from the swatch above, it is a pinky coral that is a little chalky. Though it has more pigmentation than the Etude House Cookie Blushes. However, the downside to this product is that it is mostly packaging. There is barely any product. There is just a very thin pan of product at the bottom of all that packaging.

Bbia Pigment 1.8g $5 (full size)

Glam up your eyes with jewel glitters, which glide onto your eyelids smoothly with just enough pearly effect and more than anything, lasts all day and night! With Bbia's Pigment, it's possible to feature a glittery, real K-Pop idol like makeup in no time.

My Thoughts

I received the shade 01 Mild. It is a nice coppery gold that contains fine micro glitters. It's a nice pigment, minimal fall out, doesn't crease and the consistency almost reminds me of ELF's Long Lasting Lustrous Eyeshadow for some reason.

A'PIEU Full of Nature Mascara 4.3g $3 (full size)

The mascara brush and the setting wax formula combine to elongate your eyelashes and fix it up for a lasting finish. Various grain, berry and flower extracts also help maintain healthy lashes.

My Thoughts

Also, a nice enough product. Nothing amazing. It does lengthen a little, doesn't smudge and holds a curl really well. It beats the 3CE Slim Curling Thick Waterproof Mascara.

Overall, another lovely collection from MEMEBOX. My favourite products from this box are the eyeliners and the lip tint. It does contain the essential products you need to pull off a K Style look.

So I decided to use all the products for today's look ^.^

I rate this box 8/10.

Thanks for looking and stay tuned for more MEMEBOX unboxing's.

MEMEBOX Zero Cosmetics Unboxing

Hello guys and dolls. I have yet another MEMEBOX unboxing for you today and it is the Zero Cosmetics box.

The box cost me $23 + shipping and the overall contents of the box sums up to approximately $128 ^.^

BOX DESCRIPTION

Zero alcohol, zero parabens, zero DEA and zero Formaldehyde, this is the ultimate zero chemical Zero Cosmetics Box!

We did some studying to create this zero chemical, zero additives, Zero Cosmetics Box! We wanted to provide you with the most natural and chemical free head to toe care so that you don’t have to put any more unnecessary additives and harsh ingredients that will cause irritation! We’ve loaded up this box with only the most gentle and natural products so that you can maintain your natural beauty.

Papa Recipe Bombee Soap 100g $13 (full size)

No Paraben, Phenoxyethanol,triethanolamine, mineral oils or artificial colouring. The Bombee Soap is a hand made soap made from propolis, honey extracts, jojoba oil and citron seed oil. Its gentle and nature derived formula helps soothe red, irritated skin and deeply moisturizes dry, sensitive skin.

My Thoughts

I haven't tried this soap out yet, though I am looking forward to it as it smells somewhat like cereal haha.

Benton Snail Bee High Content Steam Cream 50g $18 (full size)

Benton goes by a very strict Zero 8 System, which requires that all of its products exclude the following components - Paraben, alcohol, artificial fragrance, artificial colouring, mineral oil, benzophenone and chemical preservatives. This Snail Bee High Content Steam Cream is enriched with snail secretion filtrate, hyaluronic acid, argan oil, EGF and squalane. It works to nourish, brighten and treat signs or aging.

My Thoughts

Yet another product I need to test. It is a white cream, that leaves a velvety smooth texture on the skin. I can't detect any fragrances. The instructions say to use this in last step of skincare. So for myself, I will be using this in my night time routine. Excited to try this out ^.^

All Nature Organic Mask Sheet 25ml x 4 $6 (full size)

All Nature brings four super foods - Black Bean, Broccoli, Blueberry and Huttuynia Cordat - to the beauty scene with these four mask sheets consisting more than 50% organic extracts from these super foods. Replenish and renew with what Mother Nature has to offer!

My Thoughts

Yay more sheet masks to add to my collection. I don't know when I'll get around to trying these, but I sure am looking forward to it. A girl can never have enough sheet masks.

Easydew Fresh Mild Sun Block SPF50 PA+++ 7ml (full size 50ml $51)

This gentle, ultra light and greaseless sun block provides a high level of protection against UV rays, maintains moisture and strengthens the skin's innate ability to protect itself.

My Thoughts

I currently have 4 other sun blocks, so it seems like there is another collection I'm building up haha. Excited to try this out in the morning. As the description states, it is a very lightweight none greasy formula. Which is perfect and I guess you can never have too many sun blocks, as you need to protect your skin everyday throughout the year.

Nature's Friend SaeHaneul Eye & Nourishing Cream 40g $30 (full size)

Nature's Friend takes great pride in their gentle, non-toxic formula which does not include any paraben, ethanol, mineral oil, silicon, artificial fragrance and artificial colouring. Instead, the popular eye & nourishing cream is enriched with 10 different organic plant extracts for delivering deep nourishment and facilitating skin regeneration to treat signs of aging.

My Thoughts

It is a lovely eye cream. It is just the right consistency, moisturizes well and no fragrance. Personally, I prefer the Boscians eye cream I received in my Skincare box. But hey, you can't really complain about a HUGE tube of eye cream. I really mean it's HUGE. This thing will last me months!

Innerface Shy Blossom Soothing Serum 50ml $43 (full size)

Aloe Vera and Lavender oil in the serum works to instantly soothe irritated or sensitive skin, The Hyaluronic Acid and the Sacha Inchi oil, rich in omega 3, 6 & 9 deliver intensive hydration by creating a protective moisture layer that locks in moisture within the skin. The soothing serum ispacked with herbal formula blended by New Zealand herbalists and includes Chamomile water, Tea Tree water, Sweet Almond, Evening Primrose, Aloe Vera,  Olive, Lavender & more.

My Thoughts

Now I need to stop picking this up by the cap before I break it. The cap is lose and I keep dropping it...derp! Anyways, the formula is lightweight and quick absorbing. It has milky watery texture and the smell is very herbal. I am not fond of the scent...but at least you know how organic it is by the scent lol. Asides from the scent, I do enjoy this product. Like I enjoy all the other 4 serums in my collection haha.

This is a damn good box for $23. Having sensitive acne prone skin, I love how they don't contain any nastyness. I will definitely purchase it again if they bring out a second version.

I think I may even prefer this over the Skincare box ^.^

I rate this box a 9/10. Knocking 1 mark off, as it is not all full sized that's all.

Thanks for looking and stay tuned for MEMEBOX unboxing's.

Ladykin Blossom Blushers Review & Swatches

Hello lovelies, today I have a quick review and swatches on the Ladykin Blossom Blushers.

I first received one of these blushers in a MEMEBOX, it was shade 02 Milky Apricot. As soon as I tried this baby, I fell in love.

It has beautiful packaging and a lovely flower engraving on the product itself.

Isn't it so adorable?

There are 5 shades in total and all are muted shades. They're not brightly highly pigmented, but are lovely nonetheless. 

These blushes would be perfect for those who are new to make up and are scared of over doing blush. 

Or if you just prefer a more natural flush of colour on your cheeks, rather than bang in your face colour.

I purchased the remaining 4 shades from www.yesstyle.co.uk

1 layer swatches.

The first shade is 01 Berry Sorbet. It is a pretty strawberry/peachy/pink, if that makes any sense. It has a demi matte finish. I think this would look super pretty in the winter for the 'I've just been out in the cold' flushed cheek looks.

The second shade is 02 Milky Apricot, which is the first one I ever received. It is as the name implies, a milky apricot with a matte finish. I loved wearing this shade in the spring.

The third shade is 03 Aurora Blossom. It looks very similar to Berry Sorbet, though a lot more muted and the finish has a sheen to it. Another perfect shade for the cooler months for the flushed glow.

The fourth shade is 04 Aurora Sweet. It is like a slightly darker/brighter version of Milky Apricot and the finish also has a slight sheen. Though less than the Aurora Blossom. This is a perfect spring/summer blush for that healthy sun kissed glow.

The fifth and final shade is 05 Luna Reddish. I would describe this shade as a dusty rose with peach undertones. It is a matte finish with some fine shimmers that you can't really see. I can see myself wearing this shade a lot in the autumn.

Overall, these blushers are amazing. A little goes a long way, smooth and blendable. They are not crazy pigmented so they're super easy to work with.

I kind of hope they come out with more shades, as I just love the formula of these blushes.

I rate these blushes 10/10

Yeap I love them that much.

Thanks for looking.

MEMEBOX Pore Care 3 Unboxing

Hey guys and dolls. I have another quick MEMEBOX unboxing for you today.

Excuse the bad lighting, I opened this in the late afternoon. Plus ignore the description card, as everything on it is incorrect. Luckily, MEMEBOX have put up all the details on the site.

This Pore Care 3 box is all full sized products...AMAZING!!! 

I ordered this box, as I have had enough of my pesky enlarged pores. Something had to be done before they got any worse.

All the products in the box sum up to a whopping $140 and the box itself only cost $39 + shipping.

BOX DESCRIPTION

We’re back for the third time to solve all your pore care needs with the Pore Care 3 Box!

Summer heat got you down because of clogged pores and oil slicks? No worries because our 3rd edition of the Pore Care Box will give you everything you need to guide you with a step by step roadmap for clearing and shrinking enlarged pores, removing excessive sebum and bacteria buildup that can lead to unsightly blemishes!

Combat all skin and pore concerns and face the summer with XXS sized pores! 

THE SKIN HOUSE Pore Control Powder Serum 50ml ($28)

This Pore Control Powder Serum works to immediately tighten and minimize enlarged pores for a smooth and matte skin texture. It also prevents skin’s oil/moisture imbalance by keeping it silky soft.

My Thoughts

I tested this product this morning on the areas where I have enlarged pores. The scent is quiet noticeable, a very perfumey fragrance. Though you cannot smell it for long as it sinks into your skin quickly. I look forward to see what benefits this product will give me in the long run.

SECRET KEY Black Out Pore Clean Remover 100ml ($38)

Enriched with white clay and black charcoal, the Black Out Pore Clean Remover works to reach into your pores, remove all blackheads & whiteheads clogged up, moisturize, and tighten up the pores all in one!

My Thoughts

I have yet to try this product, but I am looking forward to it. You're suppose to soak cotton pads with it and place them on problem areas for 10-15 mins, then wipe away any blackheads. This looks like just a clear liquid toner and it smells rather yummy. It reminds me of sherberts. I have high hopes for this product.

CHAMOS ACACI  Matte Pore Primer 30ml ($20)

This Matte Pore Primer instantly absorbs into your skin and provides a smooth, matte, and velvety layer across the skin. Smooth's out enlarged pores and even out uneven skin tone. It contains salicylic acid which works to sterilize and disinfect the skin for a mattified finish.

My Thoughts

I also used this earlier today and I think I actually prefer this over my Benefit Porefessional. Neither does an amazing job for filling in pores, they're ok. For heavy duty pore coverage I like to use my Dr Young Anti Pore - Pore Eraser Balm, which I also received in a previous MEMEBOX. Anyways back to the actual product review. I don't know if it was this product or the Pore Control Powder Serum or the combination of both, but my pore problem areas have been a lot less oily today, which is great. I'm actually considering giving my Porefessional away as I do enjoy this product a lot more. I may have to do a blog post comparing the two products.

TOSOWOONG Deep Pore Foam Cleansing 100ml ($12)

The mild formula and abundant foams work to cleanse away all skin impurities, specifically targeting enlarged pores and sensitive, troublesome skin. Various plant extracts such as green tea, mulberry, and portulca extracts also helps clean, soothe, and deliver vitamins deep into the skin.

My Thoughts

I have yet to try this product, as I am trying to finish my Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Cleansing Foam. Though I may try it sooner, as the Innisfree isn't a WOW product. As far as I can tell, it is a typical white cream cleansing foam with a generic soap scent that isn't overpowering. Hopefully this does wonders for my pores.

AQUA BEAUTY  Pore Zero Blackhead Remover 50ml ($34)

The soft silicone massaging brush attached and the all-natural essential oil included will effectively and easily remove any blackheads and oils clogging up the pores, making your skin brighter and shinier overall.

My Thoughts

I tested this product last night and this morning. And I can't see any significant reduction in pore size or blackheads. I thought the tough silicone brush would pry out the blackheads, but sadly they didn't. The formula itself is a clear gel texture and I can't really describe the scent. It kind of burns a little bit while you're using it. But, is fine once washed off. I will give it a few more go's, but I may end up giving it away. 

LAILLY +36.5 Steam Pore Pack 50g ($28)

Lailly’s unique pore pack uses hot steam effect to open up the pores and clear the skin of any impurities, sebum, and blackhead piled up in the pores, leaving your skin deeply cleansed and moisturized as well.

My Thoughts

Another product I have yet to test out. It is a thick charcoal gel consistency and with no fragrance as far as I can tell. On the site, it states to use it for 15-20 mins then rinse off.

Overall, I am pretty happy with this box. I mean, you can't really complain with 6 full sized products. I hope all these products combined will make a significant difference to the state of my pores. Well done MEMEBOX, another great selection of products, this is why I am so addicted and have ordered 14 boxes overall haha. And no doubt that number will keep rising. MEMEBOX you are talking all my money, but it is so worth it. I may even purchase the next Pore Care box when they bring it out.

I rate this box 9/10

Thanks for looking and stay tuned if you're interested in more MEMEBOX unboxing's. If you're interested in more in depth individual product reviews, make sure to let me know down in the comments.
