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 My Cute Wishlist

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!”

MeMeBox My Cute Wishlist

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:

MeMeBox My Cute Wishlist

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.

  MeMeBox My Cute Wishlist

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 ♥

Review: Holika Holika Love Fantasy Blush No.01

2. April 2014

// KBEAUTY / MAKE UP / AFFILIATe LINK //

I didn’t review any blushes for quite a while. Time to change this again :D Here is my review for Holika Holika Love Fantasy Blush No.01. This bush is available in 5 shades in total. By the way, I’m sorry for the lack of posts recently, but I’m working on my thesis at the moment. I’ll be done in about a week, so stay with me, I have some really nice upcoming reviews (^_^).

Somehow, I rarely buy any cosmetics from Holika Holika. Although they have quite a couple of things I would love to buy. This blush comes in a small metal jar. First of all, the packaging is beautiful and super girly. The tiny jar is so cute, you have to fall in love with it, when you are a fan of pink and ornamented items XD.

The jar is sealed with a sticker with the color of the blush written on it. This one is a pink blush.
When you open it, you’ll discover that a cute puff with an attached bow is included inside the blush.

The puff is super soft and feels smooth on the skin. The actual blush is separated by a clear plastic foil from the puff.

As you can see, the blush has a nice ornament imprinted on it. It consists of three colors. All of them are different pink shades.

Below you can see a swatch on my arm. As you can see it is not pigmented. I applied it with the included puff and with a brush, but there is not much difference. the color stays very subtle.

Apart from the lack of pigmentation (which could be a pro for those who want a soft blush effect), another downside for me is the metal jar. The lid doesn’t close properly anymore after the sealing sticker was removed. Normally I would say that it has the perfect size for travelling, but in this case, since the lid keeps opening, I wouldn’t dare to put it inside my bag…
You can get these blushes from Holika Holika here:
 
W2Beauty for US$ 15.39 (free shipping option. You’ll get a 5$ voucher upon registration with this link, which is usable for orders of minimum 30$)

asian cosmetics beauty review

Review: Beyond The God Of Patches Bye Bye Smile Lines and Panda Eyes

22. January 2014
A while ago I wrote a review to one of Beyond The God Of Patches sheet masks (click >>here<<). I’m absolutely in love with the design of these ♥ I will review the other two masks today, which are Beyond The God Of Patches Bye Bye Smile Lines and Beyond The God Of Patches Bye Bye Panda Eyes. These masks are from the Korean brand Beyond which is part of LG Household & Health Care.
Beyond The God Of Patches
These two masks have such cute and adorable illustrations and packaging design and even the instructions are accompanied with cute illustrations! First I will show you the Bye Bye Panda Eye Patches: When you open the cardboard envelops you will find the sachets containing the eyepatches.
The patches are packed separately in a plastic packaging sachet. Isn’t it cute?
  Beyond The God Of Patches
I never used that kind of gel patches before. But the instruction is pretty easy to understand. The patches are formed like the line below your eyes. You have to remove a plastic sheet before using it and then you can dispatch the gel sheet on your skin according to the cutest illustrations on the cardboard enevlope.
Since this is a gel patch it has an instant cooling effect. The scent is like the previous sheet mask I reviewed and very pleasant and calming and reminds me of Laneige’s Sleeping Pack. Since I used these patches only one time I cannot say anything about their whitening effect. After one use I didn’t see any changes in my dark circles, but my eyes looked definitively less hollow and more supple than before. I recognised the effect instantly in front of the mirror. It does a great job in moisturizing and cooling which helped to achieve this effect for sure.
The second mask is called Bye Bye Smile Lines and it is designed for the lines around your mouth. The shape of these patches again is perfectly made for this area and the instruction is pretty straight forward due to the illustrations ♥
Beyond The God Of Patches
The packaging is similar to the previous one and inside the cardboard envelope you will find the sachet with the patches.
Beyond The God Of Patches
 The patches are again packed separately and protected by a plastic foil.
Beyond The God Of Patches
These patches had the same scent like the other ones and it was the same pleasant and non-disturbing scent. The skin feels pretty good moisturized and the skin looks refreshed and supple.
Below you can see how the gel patches look like after I’ve used them. Pretty much all of the moisture is already gone, my skin seems to be thirsty XD.
Beyond The God Of Patches

I’m absolutely happy with these gel patches for the under-eye area and the smile lines. Of course the cute packaging was the main reason to buy these but the results were also satistfying in terms of moisturization and cooling. I felt pampered and enjoyed the experience of using the patches and I would repurchase them any time. I bought these at www.testerkorea.com for 2500 Won which is around US$ 2.50. Shipping depends on the weight of the goods you buy. The patches are also available on amazon for 5 US$ or in larger quantities on ebay  

Rating for both masks:

Review: Beyond The God of Patches Bye-bye to Facial Wrinkles Sheet Mask

17. October 2013
I bought these a couple of Beyond The God Of Patches sheet masks quite a while back and I really wanted to review them so badly, but I never dared to tear open these cute packages. I’m absolutely in love with the design of these ♥ As you can see below I ordered three masks, but there are quite a few more available. These masks are from the Korean brand Beyond which is part of LG Household & Health Care. I wrote a review a couple of days ago about one of their facial foam cleanser >>here<<.
These masks are super cute, each of them designed with an animal face wearing either the mask or looking somehow individually.
I will review the Beyond The God of Patches Bye-bye to Facial Wrinkles Sheet Mask today, which is a whole face sheet mask. The bear on the package looks so cute, although (s)he seems to be unhappy about wrinkles :’D ♥
The information on the backside is in Korean and English, too (click to enlarge). As you can see in the image above. The product description says:
A pure cotton, anti-wrinkle mask sheet ideal for erasing the fine lines and facial wrinkles that can betray your age. Saturated with royal jelly and nectar, natural sources of energy, this highly-enriched serum provides life and vitality to rough, patchy skin and locks in moisture, slowing down the aging process.
Active Ingredients: Adenosine, Royal Jelly Extraxt, Honey Extraxt
Sounds good in first place. Royal Jelly and Honey are both known to be good moisturizers, which helps to decrease the appearance of fine lines and Adenosine is supposed to be anti-inflammatory when used in cosmetics as far as I know.
 
Now, how were my experiences with this mask? First of all, when I opened the package I was relieved that this mask had a pleasant flowery-sweet scent. It was so nice and calming, especially because I took a shower before and was snuggling myself in my bed XD ♥ 
 
 
The mask itself had a nice soft feel and was saturated thoroughly with the essence. I feared it would be dripping, but it dripped nowhere except on my fingers while applying it. There was also some left over essence for my neck inside the package of the mask. Since it was soaked well and my room is rather cooled down in the moment it gave me a refreshing sensation on the same time. I guess you can put it inside a fridge if you live somewhere with hot climate and it will have the same cooling sensation on your face. After 20 minutes I took the mask of and massaged the rest of the essence into my skin until it was absorbed. My skin was not sticky afterwards, and it felt nicely moisturized and firmer, too.I don’t have much of lines or wrinkles, just one or two tiny ones, but since my skin was moisturized very well they were not visible at all. The next day my skin still felt smooth and nice. As it seems, I had no problems at all with this mask and I simply love it and I would re-buy it any time. ♥
I bought these masks at www.testerkorea.com for 2500 Won which is around US$ 2.50. Shipping depends on the weight of the goods you buy.

asian stationary Blippo PR Sample

Blippo.com – cute stuff from Japan ♥sponsored♥

1. October 2013

I’m a sucker for cute stationary and accessories and I’ve always been! One of the first online stores I got to know a couple of years ago was Blippo. I got some of their items from them for reviewing and I decided to show you what they send me and give you an introduction into their online store.

Blippo

Blippo is a very easy to navigate site. They offer stuff from Japan like Magazines and Candy and Snacks, but also a lot of stationary items and character items from Hello Kitty, San-X (like Rillakkuma, Sentimental circus, Gloomy Bear…), and Ghibli. they have also some fashion items, like bags and purses and cute accessories. Blippo offers free shipping which is really great in my eyes :D

I’ll show you the items, which I received from them ^_^ they’re really, really cute and I fell in love in an instant ♥ (You can click on the images to enlarge them ;) )

Blippo

The first item is a pencil holder from Rilakkuma. It has different motifs on each of the four sides of the box and is divided into three parts in the inner. My favourite image is the one with Rilakkuma dressed as Parisian with some baguettes in his arms XD  It is 10 x 10 x 8 cm and you can buy it here:

Blippo

The second item is a super cute Kiiroitori mini plush ♥ It is around 9 cm in height and has a short chain to put it at your key-chain if you like. I love little chicks, they are so cute and this one is no exception :D You can get it here (this item is on sale at the moment*_*):

Blippo

The last item is a Rilakkuma contact lens case. This is my second Rilakkuma contact lens case. I bought another one a year ago and it is one of my dearest objects *_* This one is super cute as well ♥ It has Rilakkuma’s head on one side and Korilakkuma’s head on the other. There is a second model of this lens where you have Korilakkuma’s and Kiiroitori’s heads. You can buy this one here:

The other model is available here:

Do you know Blippo or do you own some of the items I own? Tell me what you think about them ^_^

That’s it for this time, hope you enjoyed this post ♥
