MEMEBOX My Cute Wishlist 2 & K Style 2
Yeap...more Memebox. I'm an addict, what can I say?
All these products came from the My Cute Wishlist 2 & K Style 2.
And to be perfectly honest with you...I'm not overly excited about these products.
Don't get me wrong, there are a few products I can't wait to try. But overall, I'm a little disappointed. Specifically with My Cute Wishlist 2, as the first edition was so amazing, I had high hopes for this box. It, just doesn't quiet live up to it's predecessor.
I have made a video going into more details about the products.
However, I must apologize as I am ill and it's not the most lively video.

MEMEBOX Jackpot Box Unboxing
Words cannot describe how excited I was to receive this box.
I'm so happy I got 4th place.
I have a quick unboxing video here for you. It is literally my reaction/first impression when unboxing. So if you'd like to see more details on the individual products...just go ahead and scroll down and keep reading.
Evas Vitamin Sun Cream SPF38 PA++ 50ml $11
A smart vitamin rich sun cream which guarantees UV protection, wrinkle care and skin brightening effect all in one! This gentle sun care product spreads smoothly onto the skin and absorbs quickly without being sticky at all.
My Thoughts
Yet another sun cream to add my collection...but hey, you can never have too much sun protection. I think I will enjoy using this product as it feels nice and lightweight and it does spread smoothly over the skin.
Carestory Collagen Ampoule 200 10ml $15
This fast-acting formula contains a unique form of collagen that is small enough to penetrate the skin’s surface layers. This helps to fight wrinkles and loss of resilience for a more youthful appearance.
My Thoughts
Apparently, you can use this in place of serums/essences and you can mix it in with your moisturizer. I cannot detect a scent and it is a very light watery consistency. I'm happy to receive this product as prevention is key to fighting fine lines and wrinkles...which I am already starting to get. So finger's crossed this works well.
Kangskin Aqua Essence 30ml $72
This natural Aqua Essence provides instant hydration and instant relief to irritated red skin. This product provides anti-inflammatory properties to soothe skin immediately while preventing future flare-ups, and also calms irritated skin after facial peels and skin procedures. Supercharged with herbal stem cell activator, organic herbal extracts, a patented phyto oligo and hyaluronic acid.
My Thoughts
This product is a watery gel type consistency and no detectable scent. It absorbs quickly onto the skin. I am looking forward to using this, as I am currently suffering a lot of redness from breakouts, so we shall see if it lives up to its anti-inflammatory claims.
IOPE Essential Facial Oil 30ml $90
This thickly spreading yet quickly absorbing facial oil creates a thin, protective layer over the skin for a softer, smoother skin texture. Organic argan oil and macadamia oil contained also deliver deep nourishment and hydration to the skin.

My Thoughts
A little drop of this goes a long way, so this will last me a lifetime. The oil itself sinks in nicely and does not leave your skin feeling like a greasy fry up. I do have extremely oily skin, but I'm willing to give this a go in the evening's. I mean for $90...it's got to be good right?
Tosowoong Timeshift Skin Toner 120ml $32
Create moist skin with this skin toner made of natural fermented ingredients including galactomyces, bifida ferment lysate, sanil mucin filtrate and natural black yeast ferment filtrate that is effective for improving skin. It is hypo-allergenic and can be used for problematic skin as well as sensitive skin, as it also contains rose oil, bergamot oil, lavender oil and orange oil.
My Thoughts
Another product with a liquidy gel type consistency and a herbal scent. I'm not entirely sure how to apply this, I'm guessing it is just patted onto the skin. I'm looking forward to using this as it sounds like is chock full of goodness.
SULLOC Water+ 7.8g $6
The Sulloc Water+ contains 180mg of catechins which are potent antioxidants most active in green tea, 2.5mg of pantothenic acid, and an antioxidant level equivalent to 12 full tomatoes. Feel lighter, younger, and more vital with what Water+ has to offer!

My Thoughts
Not overly excited about this, but I will drink it. I'm currently drinking the cherry version. It tastes like any other cordial, just with added goodness.
SHARPELAN CARE Perfume Lily & Lilac 90ml $4
Infused with lovely spring breeze-like lily and lilac fragrances, this perfume mist can be used over clothing, curtains, bed sheets, and car seats for refreshing up the scent and for fantastic purposes.

My Thoughts
Another product I'm not overly excited about. However, I do enjoy the lovely fresh scent and will be getting use out of this. Who doesn't love their room to smell fresh?
COTTERANG Bubble Peeling Pad 16ml*1ea $7

My Thoughts
I'm looking forward to using this, as I have a few breakouts at the moment. Therefore, I am definitely going to need this to help resurface my skin.
T.P.O No-Wash Toner Sheet 30 pieces $14
T.P.O’s toner sheet is perfect for quick makeup fix-ups, for removing makeup residues, or even for refreshing and moisturizing dry skin throughout the day. There’s no need for double cleansing with this item because it’ll quickly and easily cleanse away any skin impurities with just a single swipe.

My Thoughts
I don't ever use make up remover type wipes, as I don't feel like they clean enough, but I shall give this ago. I could bump up my cleansing process from a 2 step to a 3 step and see how that works out for me.
LUNA Wonder Essential BB Founde SPF25 PA++ miniature
The Wonder Essential BB Fonde thinly coats over your face, offering a natural coverage and delivering rich vitamin and minerals deep down into the skin. The light texture of leaves the skin silky smooth and glowing with a natural radiance.

My Thoughts
I'm looking forward to using this, as it feels lovely and lightweight. I hate heavy feeling foundations/bb/cc creams, so this make s a nice change. I received the shade #21 Nudy Beige, which may be a little too light a shade, but I can make it work with a bronzer.
DAVI Le Grande Cru Cream 7ml miniature
Memebox launched a premium miniature of Davi’s famous Le Grande Cru Cream for those of you wanting a trial item before purchasing the full sized product. This cream is extremely rich in texture and works to give deep nourishment and hydration to the skin, while treating signs of aging by tightening and firming up the skin’s natural elasticity.

My Thoughts
Another product I will reserve for evening use as it is a very thick cream. I will definitely be rationing this in case I love it, because the full size jar is a whopping $185...HOLY SHITSNACKS!!!
IOPE Lip & Cheek 01 Rose Pink 4g $42
A dual item for both lips and cheeks, this rosy lip & cheek stein comes in a neat, compact packaging with a mirror as well. Blend it into your lips and cheeks to add more color and radiance to your overall complexion.

My Thoughts
I'm not a big fan of cream cheek products. However, I will keep this product and try it out anyways, just because it is IOPE haha.
HAIR+ Velvet Nutri-Injection 12ml $5For all those damaged hairs out there, the Velvet Nutri-Injection is here to save the day! There’s absolutely no need to rinse after application. Simply apply it throughout your hair, especially the damaged ends, after towel drying, and experience results of a hair clinic program!
My Thoughts
Another product I look forward to using. I have very thick coarse hair that feels damaged, although it's not. My hair is all pretty much virgin...un-dyed, I only straighten my fringe and that is it. So anything that will get rid of that coarseness, I'm all for.
AMINI Vitamin Shower Body Soap Bar 120g $12
Amini is a brand that emphasizes ‘enjoyment of natural affluence’ within reasonable prices and strives to provide health-beneficial beauty products with only the best and natural formula. This Body Soap Bar works to rejuvenate the skin with its gentle and replenishing formula consisting of vitamin-rich rosehip, lavender, and peppermint oils.

My Thoughts
I am currently trying to finish up another organic bar of soap from a previous box, once that is done I will move onto this. I do prefer soap bars, so I'm happy to receive this.
Overall, this is a great haul. I'm so happy to have gotten 4th place. I would have been disappointed if I had received lower than 4th place, as I had ordered with express shipping. The only item I wish I had received was the IOPE Eye Cream. But, it's no biggie.
I hope you enjoyed my rather rushed and excited unboxing and thanks for looking.

MEMEBOX My Cute Wishlist Unboxing
I cannot tell you how excited I have been for this box.
It is the My Cute Wishlist Box.
It is a MEMEBOX jammed pack with products in super cute adorable packaging.
This box cost me $23 + shipping and the total amount of the contents within, sum up to
$93.
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!
Today, I have the K Style box. The box cost $23 + shipping and the overall contents sum up to $96.
BOX DESCRIPTION
Korea has beauty on lock, and this K-Style Box is bringing you all the latest beauty trends straight from Seoul!
Ever wondered how Korean celebrities look so perfectly gorgeous on screen without looking like they have pounds of makeup caked onto their face? Now, you can recreate whatever K-style look you desire with just the tools in this box! Whether you want to go for that signature Korean “no-makeup” look with perfect porcelain skin, youthful aegyo-sal eyes and gradient baby lips, or want to glam up your style with your favorite K-POP idol makeup trends, this box is a must have for Korean beauty addicts!
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.
