Top 10 Must-Try KBeauty Box | YesStyle

23. October 2016

YesStyle is probably one of the most widely known retailers for fashion and beauty online, especially when you are looking for something from asia. They have a wide selection of KBeauty products and recently they have made a list of their Top 10 Must-Try KBeauty Products 2016. I had the chance to receive one of their beauty boxes containing their Top 10 products for testing and I would love to share my opinion with you on these products.

YesStyle is the first online retailer to globally distribute a wide range of fashion, beauty and lifestyle products from Asia. Apart from their selection of Korean beauty products you will also find Japanese and Taiwanese products in their selection. Let’s take a look at the products from their Top 10 Must-Try KBeauty Products, which were by the way packed in a beautiful pastel colored box:

The Top 10 products are very versatile and reaching from skincare to makeup products reaching from brands that are well-known and brands that have a name amongst kbeauty enthusiasts. The selected products are from Etude House, Tonymoly, Berrisom, Laneige, Tosowoong, Beauty People, and MacQueen. Below is a picture of all the 10 products from the selection:

In my past years of asian beauty product addiction I already tested quite a lot of products and surely some of the ones you will spot here have been in my stash and under testing previously. Still, since I want to keep you updated as good as possible, I will update and rewrite some of my old reviews of the products I tested in the past with new images and maybe also with a new impression. Bur first I want to share with you a quick first impression of all the 10 products.

I’ll try to keep the products thematically, so I will start with the skincare products, which can be categorized in the masks type.

Tonymoly I’m Real Sheet Mask

Of course a Top 10 KBeauty selection needs a sheet mask. YesStyle selected the Tonymoly I’m Real Sheet Masks as part of their favorites. I received the Tonymoly I’m Real Makgeolli Mask Sheet for Skin Purification. I reviewed these masks in the past and I loved the packaging design so much! I think I also tried the Makgeolli Mask back then, but I only reviewed the lemon and the avocado mask. The avocado mask was a real hit for me back then because it made my skin feel so nourished even on the next day. You can check my previous reviews >>here<< (Tonymoly I’m Real Lemon Mask Sheet) and >>here<< (Tonymoly I’m Real Mask Sheets). I’m hoping for a similar experience with the Makgeolli Sheet Mask, but I will let you know about the details.

Etude House Collagen Eye Patch

Apart from your face you also need to take special care for your under eye area. Eye patches are my life savers after a short night in the next morning. I really love my SNP Bird’s Nest Aqua Hydrogel Eye Patches. Now I had the chance to try the Etude House Collagen Eye Patches and also here I must say that it is such a nice feeling to have eye patches. These eye patches are not made from hydrogel in contrasts to the ones from SNP. There will be a full review in future, too.

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask

This sleeping mask is designed for your lips to make them feel super soft and hydrated the next morning. The Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask has been on my wishlist for ages and so I’m super happy to be able to review this in more detail. I’m so curious myself, but I can already tell you that I heard so many positive things about this one.

Tosowoong Blackhead & Sebum Out Nose Pack

There are two kinds of people, those who love nose stripes and those who would never use them. I love them…at least occasionally! Also, my boyfriend always uses my nose stripes for himself. I can already say that he was impressed on how much stuff he got rid of with the Tosowoong Blackhead & Sebum Out Nose Pack. Since they are black you will see almost everything which comes off…sounds gross…and it is! But it works!

Let’s now take a look at the makeup products from the Top 10 Must-Try KBeauty selection from YesStyle.

Beauty People 10 Seconds Auto Pencil Eyeliner

I received a light color for the Beauty People 10 Seconds Auto Pencil Liner and it is really pretty and versatile to use for highlighting the eyes. If I’m not mistaken I never reviewed any products from the brand Beauty People so it is time to do this as quickly as possible. Review will be upcoming :)

Etude House Color My Brow

The Etude House Color My Brow is a eyebrow coloring mascara and it was one of the early products that I bought from this Korean brand. Since then they have changed the size of the product (it is larger now) and I think they have slightly altered the packaging design, too. You can take a look at my old review >>here<< (apologies in advance for the bad and poorly written reviews back then). I want to rewrite this review and update it with the new version I received here.

Berrisom Oops My Lip Tint Pack

I already have two of the Berrisom Oops My Lip Tint Pack and now this and I can definitely say that this is one of my favorites, too! These peel of lip tints will stain your lips like hell and the color is really long-lasting. It is a bit time-consuming compared to a regular lip tint, because you have to apply it first on your lips, leave it to dry, and peel it off before you are ready, but I love them. You can read my reviews >>here<< and >>here<< for the two shades I bought myself (shade “Virgin Red” and “Sexy Red”).

MACQUEEN Creamy Lip Tint

The MACQUEEN Creamy Lip Tint comes in a super adorable tiny matte milkglass bottle which is so adorable at first sight already. I heard some good things about it and so I cannot wait to share swatches and my full review on this. The pink color looks lovely, too. Review upcoming.

Berrisom Oops Tint Cheek Cushion

The Berrisom Oops Tint Cheek Cushion has been on my wishlist aswell, especially since I’m so in love with the Oops My Lip Tint. I have a similar cushion type cheek product from Too Cool For School which I like a lot so I hope that this will be similar.

Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream Cover & Bright Fit SPF30 PA++

The Etude House Precious Mineral BB Creams are probably one of the most known and used BB creams. My first BB cream was from Missha and I loved it so much that apart from samples I never had a full-sized tube of any Etude House Precious Mineral BB cream. The Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream Cover & Bright Fit SPF30 PA++ is my first one now and I already used it a couple of times and liked it quite a bit. It has more a matte finish on my drier skin, but still does not make it appear flaky. It was nice to use a BB cream out of the tube after so much cushion bb cream craze. I will definitely write a full review for this one.

As you can see the Top 10 Must-Try KBeauty Products selected by YesStyle are quite versatile. You will find almost everything here and I can confirm that some of these have already been within my favorites before, too. I’m curious to try the ones I didn’t now so far and show you my impression on these. You can get the products from YesStyle of course and you will find the links and prices below:

Berrisom Oops My Lip Tint for 8.46 US$

Tony Moly I’m Real Mask Sheet for 3.71 US$

Beauty People 10 Seconds Auto Pencil Eyeliner for 6.90 US$

Unboxing: MeMeBox My Cute Wishlist

26. August 2014

When MeMeBox released their first box named with the words “My Cute Wishlist” I knew that I have to get this box, despite the fact that I was planning to use up my current products first before buying new ones :D I was so happy about receiving this MeMeBox and I want to share my excitement about unboxing this box with you ♥ Let’s take a look inside this awesome box:

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.

The MeMeBox My Cute Wishlist contains a selection of cute products with a beautiful or special packaging. The description of the box says:

“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!”

When I fell in love with asian makeup and skincare products it was mainly because of the beautiful and very girly packaging compared to western brands. This box is perfect for everybody feeling the same or having the same reason to buy products. The first thing I saw when opening the box was the product card with the description of the products inside (in English) and a sqeaking sound of joy when seeing the content:

Here is the content of MeMeBox My Cute Wishlist and it is a lovely content:

1. Pure Smile Neko Punch Point Pad Hibiscus & Lemon Grass (17 ml x 2) – box contains fullsize product worth 2 US$ each

These are moisturizing and sebum controlling pads enriched with a bunch of beneficial ingredients like hyaloronic acid, vitamin E, Collagen etc. You just put them on the areas of your face which need some extra care and leave it for a couple of minutes. I didn’t try these yet but I can imagine that it looks cute having some cat paws on your face :D

2. Pure Smile Muddy Girl (15 g) – box contains fullsize product worth 1 US$

This is a wash off type pack from mud and clay to smooth and purify your skin. It is in a heartshaped packaging and looks nice, but I didn’t try it. there were two different types which were randomly chosen for each box.

3. Beauty People Snow White Special Edition Season 2 (1.6 g x 5) – box contains fullsize product worth 54 US$

A adorable metal box conatining 5 creamtype eyeliner pencils. Each of the pencils is worth around 10 Us$ if you divide the the price among the five pencils. The color range is beautiful, because it is black, brown and gold and they contain some glitterparticles. The swatches I took were pretty long lasting despite washing my hands, so I’m looking forward to make a seperate review for this box. They also added a sharpener for the eyeliner pencils :)

4. Etude House Missing U Hand Cream (30 ml) – box contains fullsize product worth 5 US$

Finally, an Etude House product ♥ But if not in this box, where should it have been else?! :D The boxes contain randomly one of these four adorable hand creams. I received a pink dolphin with rose scented hand cream. since I love rose scent, this is exactly the perfect choice for me. There is a seal, a penguin and a panda, too. I would love to have all of these, just because of the packaging…and I would definitively reuse the packaging and transferr new handcream inside, if this one is empty :D ♥

5. Etude House Sweet Recipe Candy Stick (2 g) – box contained fullsize product worth 5 US$

These sweet lip balm remin me of christmas because of the sugar cane shape. The boxes contain one of three different versions. I received the “Oh! Orange Candy”. It has a orange scent and taste and feels like a good every day lip balm. It has a soft tint, too.

6. Kocostar Split End Therapy (8 ml) – box contained fullsize product worth 6 US$

This is a leave-in hair treatment and it has included a dotted ribbon for tying your hair, which makes it a worthy product for this box. I will review this item, too :)

7., 8., and 9. a;t fox Whitening Capsule Cream. Lifting Cream and and Moisturizing Gel Cream (10 ml x 3) – box contained fullsize product worth 6 Us$ each

These are my favourites of the box, apart from the Etude House handcream. The three mini creams have cupcake shaped containers, each in another color. Each of these is themed with another kind of tea and has a special purpose. I cannot wait to try these and I could imagine that these are great for travelling, too.

I’m really happy about this box because it fulfills all my expectations. All the products are fullsized, which is great, and there is a nice variation in products, too. The packaging of the products is adorable and I love the Etude House Missing U hand cream and the cupcake shaped creams. The colors of the pencil eyeliners is beautiful, too. I’m really happy and I do not regret that I broke my ban and bought this box. The “My Cute Wishlist” boxes seem to sell out quite fast, because at the moment they offer the MeMeBox My Cute wishlist No.3 for 23 US$ (it is out of stock at the moment, but maybe they restock it in the next days). I preordered my box already ♥
