Unboxing: MeMeBox NakedBox No. 24 All in One

9. October 2014

My last MeMebox Unboxing is almost one month ago and it feels like ages, since so many new boxes have been announced and have been sold out in the mean time. MeMeBox keeps up with new topics and discount opportunities, that it is difficult to resist buying for me sometimes. Although I was planning on making a spending break from MeMeBox I couldn’t resist grabbing the MeMeBox Nakedbox No. 24, the so called “all-in-one” box. The products in this box were announced previously, and they should be products with “all in one” properties, which means that they give multiple benefits in one.

MeMeBox is a box service company, offering a wide amount of different beauty boxes. Unlike most western beauty boxes which have to be subscribed for on a monthly basis, MeMeBoxes can be preordered but that doesn’t force you to buy more than the desired box. They ship to many countries and the products they send in their boxes are mainly Korean. Apart from their monthly Global Boxes like the ones I reviewed previously (check out the links at the end of the post), they also have a huge amount of themed boxes, Mini Boxes, Boxes where you know what is inside, so called Superboxes with a higher value and so on…just check out their online store and you’ll find a huge selection of different boxes. Since they have become very popular within the blogger community they sell out pretty fast, but they bring up new beauty boxes so fast, that you cannot keep up with them anyways. At the end of this post I will make a list of all the discounts they offer at the moment, too.

Here is the description of the box:

“This box with all of its components revealed from the very beginning is dedicated to you girls out there who feel a little bit shy or hesitant in trying out our our beauty boxes. Nakedbox #24 includes smart all-in-one items that give you multiple benefits in one!”

As you can see, the main reason for people buying this box is because they know what is inside the box. A lot of people don’t like these surprise boxes because they preferr to know what they buy. The Nakedboxes are addressing especially these people. Below you can see the content of the box. all the products in this box are full sized products ♥ Unfortunately, there was no product card included this time :/

1. IOPE Essential Tone & Wrinkle Care Eye Cream 25ml ($86) Full-sized Product
Enriched with shea butter and jojoba oil, this moisturizing eye cream will fill the lines between wrinkles around the eye area and creates a protective moisture layer to prevent further sagging and wrinkle formation.

2. SHARA SHARA Real Sauce Lemon Mask 20g X 3ea ($4) Full-sized Product
Packed with vitamin-rich lemon extracts, the Real Sauce Lemon Mask works to balance out the moisture and oil balance, brighten up, and rejuvenate dull, darkened complexions.

3. INSOBEAU Perfect Deep Clean One-Step Cleansing Water 200ml ($22) Full-sized Product
There’s no need for double cleansing with this smart One-Step Cleansing Water from insobeau. Its gentle formula, made from natural derivatives, works to quickly and easily deep cleanse all makeup and skin impurities in one step. Plus, it functions as a moisturizing toner as well, protecting, soothing and brightening the skin all in one.

4. DEWYTREE Real Collagen Nutrition Serum 50ml ($39) Full-sized Product
Dewytree’s popular Real Collagen Nutrition Serum is infused with high concentrates of collagen and treats enlarged pores, sagging skin, and other signs of aging with its highly moist and nutritious formula. It expedites the skin’s regeneration and renewal cycle for the look of more youthful and luminous skin.

5. THE SKIN HOUSE Face Calming Galactomyces Cream 30ml ($19) Full-sized Product
Containing galactomyces fermented extracts and other active ingredients, this facial cream soothes and replenishes skin stressed from external stimulus for a healthier, more youthful complexion.

6. HELLO EVERYBODY Nature Holic Hand Cream Grapefruit 50ml ($12) Full-sized Product
This super-creamy grapefruit hand cream penetrates the skin quickly to protect, moisturize and replenish dry skin and nails. Enriched with hyaluronic acid, Indian Gooseberry and grapefruit extracts, this cream will nourish skin and nails to its finest. Citrusy Mandarin Orange and Grapefruit top notes will keep your hands and nails feeling fresh all day!

The main reason for me for buying this box was the Iope eye cream. Iope is a high end korean brand and I’ve never tried anything from that brand before. The box retailed for 23 US$ and the value of this product alone is worth this money definitively. The other reasons for me were the Shara Shara masks. I really do love the design of their products and these sheet masks look so adorable. I will definitively put up a review as soon as I’ve tried them. I also heard a good deal about The Skin House Face Calming Galactomyces cream and I needed a new moisturizer anyways. I’m also curious about the cleansing water because I didn’t try any cleansing waters yet. This box was definitively worth its money and even more, because I knew for which reasons I bought the box. What do you think of this box? Do you preferr the surprise boxes or the nakedboxes? And which products from this box would you love to try out, too?

Review: Innisfree Soy Essence Volume Mascara

29. September 2014

// KBEAUTY / MAKE UP / AFFILIATE LINKS //

A while ago I purchased some great Innisfree products for 50 % doscount at testerkorea. One of these is the Innisfree Soy Essence Volume Mascara. This is my second Korean mascara, after I tried the Etude House Lash Perm 3 Steps Volumescara, and I love it ♥

Innisfree is an eco-friendly Korean skincare and makeup brand focusing on natural ingredients and recycle packaging. The design of their products is simply and neat and nicely reflects the ideology of the brand. Innisfree products are ususally free from harmful ingredients. In this case I didn’t find detailled information about the ingredients, but, as said in the name, the formula uses soy essence from black beans in order to give your lashes extra care. The packaging is very simple and it didn’t have an extra box with detailled information. The body of the mascara bottle has a matte brown color. Because of the color I was first unsure which color the mascara has, but it is a black colored mascara.

Other than this the packaging is not really special and doesn’t have any kind of ornaments or decorative elements. It looks simple and mature like most of Innisfree’s products. The brush of the mascara is medium, I would say. It is not super thin, nor is it very thick. The wand has a normal length like almost all mascaras have. You can see the production date printed on the bottle, too.

Below you can see how the mascara looks on my lashes. It makes my lashes look thicker and gives them a nice curl. All in all, my lashes get more visible. The consistency is creamy and you feel that there is some kind of essence in it, because it feels a bit “heavier”. It wasn’t bothering though. I have to point out that this mascara is a fibretype mascara and it is not easy to remove. It works best with some eye make-up remover and warm water. On the other hand, I didn’t experience any fall-off or smudging with this mascara and I love using it.

Innisfree Soy Essence Volume Mascara is a good and affordable mascara that I enjoy using. It costs 14.68 US$ at W2Bauty for 9g of product. There are also other types of this mascara, like the Innisfree Soy Essence Curling mascara and the Soy Essence Waterproof mascara available. Other than that you can get it from testerkorea for 10000 Won/10 US$ (shipping not included). I’m really happy that I got mine during the 50% sale, because it was such a great deal for 5 bucks only :D.

Review: Etude House Princess Happy Ending Lipsticks

23. September 2014

// KBEAUTY / MAKE UP / AFFILKIATE LINKS //

As you know, I’m really falling easily for cute packaging. If cute packaging is combined with a Disney theme, I’m totally helpless and I simply cannot resist to grab it…Etude House and Disney collaboratons are nothing new. They had other Disney themed cosmetic products previously, like the Minnie Collection or the Cinderella Collection. Now they released another collection called Princess Happy Ending, having products dedicted to the different Disney princesses. Here you’ll see the Etude House Princess Happy Ending Lipsticks from this collection dedicted to Belle from Beauty and the Beast and to Snow White.

Etude House is one of the best known Korean brands for cute packaging. If you are a lover of cute, girly and pink packaging, reminding you of being a child and the princess you always dreamt to be, THIS is your brand. Their packaging is usually so adoreable that you cannot keep yourself from impuls-buys – only because you saw the packaging…Just take a moment to look at the beautifully designed cardboard boxes of the two lipsticks ♥ Each of them is designed according to the corresponding fairytale, you see roses for Belle and apples and castles for Snow White. Not only the front site looks beautiful, but also the other sides of the cardboeard box. You even see the silouette of each princess above the barcode of the product.

I took a lot of pictures from the packaging because it is so pretty.

The design of the box is continued on the lipstick itself. The shade of the Snow White lipstick is called “Apple Red Lips”, whereas Belle’s lipstick is called “Purple Rose Lips”.

The bottom of the lipstick case again displays the name of the princess, whereas the cap fits to the packaging design. The ornaments and writings are in silver for Snow White and in golden for Belle. The production date is printed on the bottom of the lipstick case.

Below you see how much lipstick each of them contains, since I twisted the bullet out completely. Each lipstick contains 3.5 g of product. You can see that the Snow White Apple Red Lips has a bright red bullet, the Belle Purple Rose Lips is a bright and vivid purple color.

You can see the color of the swatches below on my hand and afterwards how it looks on my lips. I have to say that the swatches on my hand look more realistic for the red color, since it is really a bright red color with and – to my joy- not cherry toned, because I have so many cherry toned red lipsticks. You can also see how moist these lipsticks look. They do not feel drying and I honestly love the texture. It is butter-like smooth and doesn’t make you feel like you have some thick layer on your lips. It also has a nice and durable stain which doesn’t look awkward. Of course they don’t survive eating, but nevertheless I’m pleasantly surprised.

At the moment, these two are my favourite lipsticks. They are so wearable, especially since I tend to to wear fully covered lips. The promotional pictures also show that you can use these for a toned down look with an gradient effect. I bought these two precious lipsticks from W2Bauty but it is sold out. There are still some of the other items of the Princess Happy Ending Collection though. Other than that you can get the lipsticks from KollectionK for 10.99 US$ (plus shipping), or from testerkorea for 9000 Won/9 US$ (plus shipping).

♥ For all Etude House Lovers: MeMeBox is releasing an Etude House Box! You can use my September Coupon Code 364W to get 5 US$ off. If you didn’t sign up for MeMeBox yet you’ll receive 2 MeMePoints worth 2 US$, too. ♥

asian cosmetics beauty PR Sample review Wishtrend

Review: Rojukiss Multi Vita Cleansing Powder

16. September 2014

Rojukiss Multi Vita Cleansing Powder is the first cleansing powder I tried and it was provided by Wishtrend. I ordered this mainly because I was curious about the cleansing powder, secondly, I like the idea that this cleanser contains vitamins, too, for a gentle scrub and removing of dead cells. By the way, congratulations to all the winners of my giveaways! I announced the winners on the Rafflecopter widgets, and everything is confirmed and fine. If you didn’t win any of these, don’t be sad. I’ll have more giveaways in future! ♥

Rojukiss is a Korean brand which main ideology are “human, nature and science”. They try to help the skin by using natural ingredients, which don’t harm our body. The Rojukiss Multi Vita Cleansing Powder aims at dead skin cell removal, skin brightening, skin elasticity, deep moisturizing, skin trouble prevention, and skin protection. The ingredients list is not too long and contains mostly green flagged ingredients (click >>here<<). It contains the enzyme Papain as exfoliator for your skin, which can be irritant for sensitive skin types. Papain can break down dead skin cells and makes your skin appear brighter and less dull by this way. As a natural exfoliator it doesn’t dry out the skin. As I mentioned above, this cleanser also contains 5 vitamins: C, E, B3, B5, B6.

The Rojukiss Multi Vita Cleansing Powder comes in a squeezable plastic bottle, with a cap. The etiquette is waterproof, and you can take the bottle into wet hands, without loosing the product name etc. The cleanser comes as a white powder and when lathering you create foam. It is not a very dense and fine foam, though. I find it a bit hard to get the powder out of the bottle and I need to pour a couple of times before I get the amount which is necessary to build up enough foam, but the cleanser smells lightly of fruits, like those multi vitamine drinks.

Although the cleanser doesn’t build up a lot of foam and I thought after first time use that it doesn’t have any cleansing power at all, I was convinced that i’m wrong after I did the underarm test. The Rojukiss Multi Vita Cleansing Powder removed almost everything, just leaving some light traces of make up which is designed to be removed by oil based cleanser anyways. I was really surprised about this :) Since the cleanser doesn’t leather up in huge amounts of foam, I didn’t have the feeling of having a dry skin after washing my face either.

I’ve ended up using Rojukiss Multi Vita Cleansing Powder mostly in the morning, because it feels light and smells refreshingly fruity. I have to point out, that the powder form this cleanser has is super for travelling- no spilling of liquids in your bag etc. If you like cleansers with only little foam you will love this even more, especially people with dry skin might like this, because it doesn’t fill stripping on the skin. The only downside is the cap, which i would remove, because it sometimes can be hard to get the powder out..on the other hand, I cannot think of a better or another solution for the bottle. The Rojukiss Milti Vita Cleansing Powder is avalable at Wishtrend for 19.50 US$. If you are interested in ordering on Wishtrend, be sure to check out the promotions they offer for September >>here<< and their free shipping zone. Also, keep in mind their new friend-referral program: You can receive a 5 Us$ referral coupon if you use my invitation code 17939205 upon registration and you’ll receive this voucher immediately. There will be a specific field in your registration form called “friends invitation program” where you can put the code mentioned above. This way new customers can safe 5 US$ which is a great possibility.

Just as a short reminder: All products mentioned and reviewed on this blog are of my personal opinions. This product here was sent to me for reviewing purpose by http://www.wishtrend.com which doesn’t influence me in providing my honest opinion on the products.

Unboxing: MeMeBox Diet Box

11. September 2014

Here is finally the unboxing of the MeMeBox Diet Edition I received some time ago. I was just curious about the content and it is really a funny box. If you are curious, too, then cpontinue reading :)

Here is the description of the box:

“Let’s be honest. The only way to see real slimming results and whip those flabby and cellulite-y who-know-whats back into shape is with intense workouts and insane eating habits. But, good news! There’s a new trend of slimming miracle products among Seoulites that will help you to go from blah booty to Beyonce booty in no time! Target problem areas by tightening and firming up the jiggle with new and trendy Korean diet creams, massagers, and edibles! It’ll tone up your thighs for signature Korean “honey thighs,” give you bomb abs that will make you look like you’re ready to debut as a member of a K-Pop girl group, and give you an envious S-line curve that’s all the rage in Korea. Try this box and you’ll be one dangerous mama at the beach!”

And this is the content :)

1. Purederm Miracle Body Shaping Treatment (2x5US$) – fullsize product

I never tried any of these but I would like to know if thewy make any difference…I cannot image how it should work exactly…it contains caffeine, which reduces the puffiness, and also some other oils.

2. LG Health Care Slim Fit Sparkling Shot (14x7g – 24US$) – fullsize product

This is a sparkling podwer for water and it tastes like multi vitamin drinks. I try to drink one each day, as recommended, but I forget sometimes…the description says it is not effective if you don’t exercise in parallel…so I don’T think this will make any big changes.

3. Dermahouse Lifting Shape Up Hot Gel (200ml – 34 US$) – fullsize product

I was super happy about this product, and I was secretly hoping for something like this, since I saw a similar gel from Missha and was very curious about how it applies…and I really like this, because it really gets warm when applied. I use the included Massage Roller to apply it! This gel also contains caffeine, coffee extracts, hot pepper extracts, mate tea leaf extracts etc…

4. STC Massage Roller (1 piece x 6 US$) – fullsize product

Love using this ♥ As I said, I use it together with the Lifting Shape Up Gel.

5. SXM I Value Body Amoule (7 ml – 5 US$) – fullsize product

I didn’t use this yet, but this ampoule should be applied on the desired areas of your body and contains a couple of fancy ingredients with are supposed to break down cellulites.

6. Ferderma Egyptian Diet Soap (200g – 18US$) – fullsize product

I love the packaging of this soap, since I’m a lover of ancient egyptian arts. This soap has a fresh and minty scent like toothpaste and the scent filled the whole box when I opened it. I cut the soap into two hals and I’m currently using it. Other than I expected, it doesn’t melt away quickly (that’s why I cut it in halfs), and it is cooling on the skin. The scent is refreshing and it is a nice soap with great ingredients…if this helps you with your diet is not sure though.

7. KepaClub Frozen Body Ggong Ggong Gel (100g x 16US$) – fullsize product

This gel is supposed to be kept in the freezer. The gel shoulkd break down white body fat and prevent the brown body fat from growing. I put the gel into the freezer, but I didn’T use it until now, because the idea of putting something cool on my skin at the moment (the weather is getting cooler, too) doesn’t please me at all! Nevertheless, I will tell you guys about my experience :D

All in all, a nice box with all fullsize product. There are some items I really like, like the hot gel and the roller, as well as the diet soap. The others have to be tested yet. The box holöd up to my expectations of a “diet box” all together. What do you think? Any items you would love to try?

If you are curious about MeMeBox and their products, aswell as their enourmous selection of different beautyboxes check out their page >>here<<. Check out the value sets and the possibility to upgrade to free express shipping, too. MeMebox has also a couple promotions, so you can receive 2 MeMePoints worth 2 Us$ by signing up at the moment.

Review: Etude House Sweet Recipe Candy Stick

3. September 2014

// KBEAUTY / MAKE UP / AFFILIATE LINKS //

The Etude House Sweet Recipe Candy Stick was part of my MeMeBox My Cute Wishlist I reviewed earlier, and it deserves it place in this box, simply because of it’s sweet candy stick design. I was really happy about the content of the box and this item is no exception. Since it is a lipbalm, it is also something which is handy all time and therefore usefull, too :)

Etude House is one of the best known Korean brands for cute packaging. If you are a lover of cute, girly and pink packaging, reminding you of being a child and the princess you always dreamt to be, THIS is your brand. Their packaging is usually so adoreable that you cannot keep yourself from impuls-buys – only because you saw the packaging…The Etude House Sweet Recipe Candy Stick fulfills these criteria, too, since it is a lipbalm designed like the candy sticks you know probably from Christmas :D The lipbalm is available in three different shades called Seedless Strawberry Candy, Sour Lemon Candy, and Oh!Orange Candy. The latter is the one I will show you here.

Each of the candy sticks comes in the color of the fruit described by the name and thus this one is orange…and not only the color matches, the scent is also a sweet orange scent which is lingering quite long (if you don’t like scents you should skip this). The lipbalm has no taste and feels moisturising and glides smoothly. On my swatch below you can see, that it has a light tint, but this is not visible on my lips, since I have pigmented lips. Maybe people with light colored lips will see an orange hue on their lips.

This is a cute lipbalm and it is comparable to Tonymoly’s Petit Bunny Gloss Bar I reviewed in my early blogging days. I love both of them, but I adore the fruity and fresh orange scent of the Etude House Sweet Recipe Candy Stick! ♥ If you would like to buy this you can search through most of the Korean online retailes, for example from W2Bauty for 7.32 US$.

I know that sheet mask reviews are not the most exciting reviews, honestly, but I simply couldn’t pass on reviewing this adorable Etude House I Need You Heart Sheet Mask ♥ I recieved it as a gift with my last W2Beauty haul some of you might have seen on my Instagram. Actually, this sheet mask is part of the Etude House I Need You A-Z Sheet Masks and is labelled as “free gift” on the packaging.

Etude House is one of the best known Korean brands for cute packaging. If you are a lover of cute, girly and pink packaging, reminding you of being a child and the princess you always dreamt to be, THIS is your brand. Their packaging is usually so adoreable that you cannot keep yourself from impuls-buys – only because you saw the packaging (I also could not resist to order from their newest princess collection ~_~ ♥ ). Let’s go back to this sheet mask, which is, as I said, part of the I Need You A-Z sheet mask collection. The design of all the sheet masks from this line is lovely and designed with each letter of the alphabet. The Heart sheet mask here, is the only one with a pink heart on it. It has a 5 Berry Complex, which means it contains the extracts of 5 berries: blueberry, acai berry, rasberry, blackberry,and strawberry. Berries contain lots of antioxidants and vitamins and thus are beneficial for the skin.

If we have a closer look to the back side of the packaging, you can see, that the upper part is written in Korean, displaying also images of how to apply the sheet mask. The lower part is written in English. The ingredients are mainly green and yellow flagged according to COSDNA. The sheet mask itself has a berry-like fruity scent which is really nice. Since the cotton sheet is soaked well with the essence, it feels cooling and moisturizing while application. It is a nice and quick way to refresh your face inbetween, as all sheet masks are, and give it a final boost. I loved using this mask, although it doesn’t claim to have any additional benefits, it does what a sheet mask primarily is supposed to do: it gives your skin some extra hydration!

Did you try any of the Etude House I Need You Sheet Masks? Do you have a favourite? If you would love to try this mask and are not happy enough to receive it as a gift, have a look at ebay. :)
