Australia really needs to pick up its game when it comes to beauty boxes (subscription boxes). I've heard of the horror stories of beauty subscription boxes in Australia being a rip off, even being called a 'price line sample box'. Honestly, instead of getting foil packs and products that are probably not even compatible with my skin, i'd rather pay a little more and get korean beauty products! Korean skin care and makeup products are well known in the world for being high quality but at affordable prices. I've found that their 'road shop" (equal to drug store) products are cheaper than those found in Australian stores. Only con being that many of these products cannot be brought here, but thanks to Memebox, I'm able to sample it before buying a full size online if I wish.I received my first Memebox today after putting my order in during November. It was shipped out on 24th December 2014 and reached my door on 5th January 2015 (Brisbane, Australia).
Memebox is basically a beauty box service except its not monthly. There are 2 main differences. Firstly, you can choose what boxes you want as they are always coming out with different themes such as skincare, Meme global, winter/summer essentials, night out etc. Secondly they use these boxes to bring the best of k-beauty. Meaning brands such as Tony Moly, Skinfood, Innisfree, Etude House and many other Korean beauty brands that aren't that well known yet.
UNBOXING(click for close ups):
When I opened this box I literally screamed in excitement cause there was already 3 full sized products! totally got my money's worth back already.
As you can see there are a total of 6 products. 4 Out of the 6 being full size. I would say this box is more skincare focused - which I don't mind. The only makeup product being the loose eyeshadow.
The total worth of this box was approximately $110.
1. Unni Recipe Vitamin Recharger Essence 55ml - $18 (Full size)
2.Langsre Rose Berry 70 Sleeping Pack 50ml - $30 (Full size)
3.Pureplus+ Lip Treatment 10g - $9 (Full size)
4.RiRe Pigment 2.5g - $12 (Full size)
5.Pisteo Bright & Pure C Serum - [7ml x 4ea = $100] $25
6. Tonymoly BCDation All Master SPF30 PA++ 20g - $18
This is amazing value as I only paid 65.99 for 3 boxes including shipping (I used a $10 off first memebox code). This works out to be approximately $22 a box.
Before I received this box I was worried that the box might be a huge disappointment as it's the first ever beauty box that I have brought. I was definitely not disappointed. Everything in the box I know, at some point I will use and try out.
My favourite in the box is definitely the Langsre Rose Berry sleeping pack. It smells beautiful. When you open it, the rose 'petals' are visible. -smell, smell. snift, snift-
Least favourite? - Pureplus+ Lip Treatment. It smells good but when you apply it, it's a different story. Its so gooey and thick, kind of like a lip gloss. Maybe it's meant to be like that since it's a treatment? I'm not sure. I just don't like how it feels on my lips. I think I'll just stick with my Nuxe Rêve de Miel Baume Lèvres lip balm that I currently use as a overnight lip treatment.
Since I purchased this as a pack of 3 boxes, you can expect 2 more 'unboxings' in the following 2 months around the same day.
