Memebox USA Open Box + Mini Reviews

Hi all, I recently got an opportunity to try out the first Memebox USA. Memebox has been going around in Korea for a while and finally they do international shipping to USA and Canada.

I am a huge fan of the Korean beauty show Get it beauty and this box is a collaboration with the show. This is a beauty box that needs to be purchased separately each time and they currently do not offer monthly subscription.

Each box is $21 and shipping from Korea to North America(USA, Canada) costs only $6.97, and they will give you $7 points back which is about the same value as shipping charge. I would recommend you to get this if you are a fan of Korean Cosmetics because you get to try many things out and it wouldn't hurt your pocket!!

Soo... let's see what's inside ;)


Boom!!!


This particular box contains 7 items and 3 of them are full sized.



According to the hand written note I received, the SN Plant Stem Cell Line is one of their best sellers in Korea.
Yes, if you were wondering, they do ship straight from South Korea :) 

I have always been a fan of Korean Cosmetics as you can see from my haul videos, so this was such a pleasant surprise when I got contacted to try them out. Among these brands, I am familiar with Too Cool For School and also Mamonde which Yuri from SNSD (Kpop Girl Group) advertises. 


I am a mist lover and use it in my skincare routine all the time, so I tried both of them as soon as I received my package. The RE:CIPE Spray Essence water seems to be a mix of water and also 6 essential oils added with 12 natural ingredients. It smells quite like herbals and has a relaxing smell. The spray nozzle spritzes quite strongly and it is very moisturizing. I would not recommend using it to set make up because it contain oils, your make up would slip off, but this is an awesome skincare item!!

The gel mist from Too Cool For School is one I have been wanting to try because I am familiar with the brand. I have been using gel mists for the longest time and SANA Hadanomy Collagen gel mist is a favorite. I would say the consistency is pretty similar and it's a nice refreshing daily mist. I prefer gel mists because they are highly moisturizing and leaves your skin supple. This one has a nice light clean scent and sprays a fine mist. This one could be used with make up :)

I haven't broken out from any of these at all and I do think they are great everyday face refreshers!!

I didn't try the others yet so I can't tell you much about them :) but this box is worth $100+ and it's so worth your money!!!! I can't wait to try other boxes and discover new Korean brands !!

My camera is not with me right now so I can't film on my Youtube channel until mid-December but stay tuned for a Mist recommendations video!! go subscribe it's free !! : cherrythoughts

visit their website @ memeboxusa, unfortunately this box is completely sold out but they came out with the second one !! Do check it out ;) Individual products are also sold on their site.

Disclaimer: Thanks to Memebox USA for sending this to me :) All opinions are my own!! Not paid to do this at all ;)

Love,

Ibuybeauti.com tn cosmetics Haul (Suzy Miss A)

I first saw tn cosmetics in the Korean Beauty Show Get in Beauty Self show where Miss A's Suzy did her natural face make up using a few different products, mainly base make up.

I saw the eng subbed video from ibuybeauti's youtube channel, that is where I got to know their store and decided to purchase because as far as I know they are the only store who sells tn cosmetics that Suzy uses and endorses.
Teen's Nature is a brand that is less popular than others like etude house or skin food but since they are advertised to be for younger users and are said to be hypoallergenic also natural I decided to try them out and bought 2 products that I wanted to try the most :

-tn Zero Blemish Balm Cream for Natural Skin
-tn Sebum Control Powder Cream (Suzy used this for her T zone and said that it is used to control oiliness)
A review video on the tn cosmetics products will be coming soon :) So far I kike the texture of the BB cream but I will update on that :)
I had a pleasant experience buying from their store and as promised I got $10 worth of samples because I spent $40 :) and I actually messaged them I want a bb cream and mask as sample and they actually gave me those as samples !!
The shipping came on time and it's actually free but because it was my first time buying from there, I paid for tracking too. The products were bubble wrapped well and came to me safely.

UK Version Maybelline Color Tattoo 24H in Pink gold and Eternal gold review and swatches

These Maybelline Color Tattoo cream shadows are only available in the UK. I was lucky enough to pick up these really pretty colors in the local Superdrug when I went to London, and I love these colours so much! They are much more subtle in color compared to the US versions that consists of really vibrant colors like orange,teal,emerald and others. Since I love neutral make up, these are very suitable for me :)



I think by now everyone in the beauty community would know the awesomeness of this particular drugstore cream shadow line. They are highly pigmented and can be used alone or as a eye shadow base. These prove to be very long lasting and although I did not like the color "Too Cool" which is a frosty white shimmery cream shadow I could not pull of, Pink Gold and Eternal Gold are really pretty!

65 Pink Gold is a medium pink color that has gold undertone shimmers.
05 Eternal Gold is a pretty light gold color.
