Review: Too Cool For School Dinoplatz Cinema City

13. August 2014

When I received MeMeBox Global No. 11 the first product I recognized was the new CC cream by Too Cool For School, called Too Cool For School Dinoplatz Cinema City. I’m a huge fan of the Dinoplatz line by Too Cool For School, and previously I reviewed another product from this line, the Dinoplatz Lost Identity Lip Crayon. This line has such a creative and unique packaging and it is so adorable in my eyes! Receiving this product made me super happy, and so finally here is my impression on Too Cool For School’s Dinoplatz Cinema City.

Too Cool For School is a Korean brand, known for a unique packaging design. Their products are in the mid-pricey region and slightly more expansive than Etude House for example. The Dinoplatz line has a characteristic design showing dinosaurs in different scenaries. The colors of the packaging are white and a mint color. Too Cool For School dinoplatz Cinema City is one of their newer products. It is a CC cream and comes in the full sized version with a blush, a conceiler or a highlighter attached to the cap, which makes it a conventient multi product for travelling/your purse…The tube I will show you is a sample sized tube, only containing the CC cream. Below you can see the georgeous packaging of the cardboard box:

The Too Cool For School Dinoplatz Cinema City CC cream is usable for 12 months after opening. The further descriptions on the packaging are written in Korean, so I don’t have any detailled information on the ingredients. You can find some informations on the internet though: The product is 6-free, which means it doesn’t contain phtalate, GMO, acrylamide, tar color, benzophenole, steroid or animal derived ingredients. Some ingredients included are argan oil, apricot oil, niacinamide, adenosine and alaska mineral water. This CC cream claims to moisturize your skin, it also contains SPF 30/ PA+++ and contributes to protect your skin from sun damage.

It comes in a normal plastic tube. As said before, the full size product has a second clear cap attached to the cap, which contains the blusher/highlighter/conceiler. Even the sample size tube has a beautifully designed packaging and cute details on it. ♥

The CC cream itself has a light color. It is a fully tinted cream, not a CC cream with color changing beads. The consistency is rather runny. Also, the product needs time to be blended in when using fingers, otherwise it will stay visible on fine lines for example. Maybe a sponge or a beauty blender will do the trick, but I didn’t try it, so far I always used my fingers. The oil controll is medium. After applying, the CC cram leaves a white cast, but it adapts to the skin after a couple of minutes. The scent is floral, but not heavy.

As you can see above, if blended in quickly with my fingers, the CC cream is visible in the lines of my skin. If you take your time to dabb the CC cream into the skin it looks okay though. Nevertheless, I wouldn’t recommend you to apply a thick layer of this CC cream. It is not suited to be build up, because it tends to look cakey. Below, you see how it looks on my skin. On the image before (left side), I prepared my skin with my skincare routine products (toner, essence, moisturizer). On the right side you see how the skin looks after applying one layer of CC cream. As you can see, the coverage is low, but it evens out the skin tone and brightens up the complexion without looking to unnatural.

All in all, Too Cool For School Dinoplatz Cinema City is a very natural looking CC cream. If you don’t have a lot of skin concerns, you might like the light finish of this CC cream. If you have more visible skin concerns, you could either add a foundation or a high coverage BB cream on top of this. If you have very dry skin, I wouldn’t recommnd this CC cream to you. It might look to flakey on your skin. People with normal/combination or oily skin might like this more. The full sized product contains 30 ml and costs 25000 Won (around 25 US$) at testerkorea.

Did anybody else try tis CC cream? What is your impression? Did you try the full sized product?

Review: Max Clinic Caviar Massage Oil Foam

9. August 2014

MeMeBox Global No. 8 contained a bunch of really nice products, among those was also Max Clinic Caviar Massage Oil Foam, an oil/foam combo cleanser, making double cleansing easier and adding the extra step of massage. As some of you might know, Korean skincare routine contains the important step of double cleansing your face. That means you use two cleansing steps: in the first one, you remove the makeup, usually by using an oil cleanser, in the second step you clean your face by a foam cleanser for example. For most people this sounds like too much, but I can assure you that there is a difference in your skin condition if you do so. On the other hand, I’m mostly a lazy person, so I’m happy if things going faster…and this is exactly one aim of this combo product, because it combines those two cleansing steps in one.

I didn’t find any specific information about the brand Max Clinic, but it is a Korean brand which seems to be on the high end level, especially according to the price of the products (see details later). The packaging is made of a cardboard box, with reflecting sides. I think the image at the front of some oil (probably) looks really clean, but on the same time it looks attractive to me. Unfortunately, the description is only in Korean, but this explains probably, why this brand is rather unknown to Korean cosmetics lovers.

The oil itself comes in a sturdy plastic container with a pump. It has a clear, plastic protective cap, too. The pump dispenser is a bit inconvenient because it is not the long type of dispenser, where you easily can put your hand below, but you’ll always have to hold the bottle in an angular, so you dispense the product into the middle of your palms. Other than this the packaging looks elegant and the material is not appearing cheaply.

In order to use this cleanser you first dispense one pump on your palms and massage it on your dry face. After massaging, wet your hands and continue massaging. The oil becomes a bit foamy, although it doesn’t generate huge amounts of foams. The cleansing oil is a clear, oil type (of course), yellow-ish colored product and smells fresh. It doesn’t smell of caviar or anything like that. By the way, apart from the caviar oil, I didn’t find any information about the ingredients…but the packaging says “natural ingredients”, so I hope that’s true.

This cleanser doesn’t make your skin feel dry at all. It feels nice on the skin and I read somewhere that it is also good to use together with a cleansing brush or the electric cleansing brushes. Washing with your hands limits the effectivity of this cleanser, because in my “arm test” it didn’t remove the waterproof make up nicely (see image below). Nevertheless, the skin feels clean afterwards and if you use some other make-up remover before anyways, than it should be a nice cleanser to use.

Let’s talk about the price of this cleanser. Obviously it is a rather unknown brand, but of high quality. Also the ingredient caviar oil sounds very luxurious. When I received this product with my MeMeBox Global No.8 I was shocked when I saw the price tag on the information card, because it says, that this full sized product (containing 110 g) costs US$ 73. I personally would never ever buy a cleansing oil for that price…While researching for this brand on the internet, I found that Korean resellers sell this same product for prices between 20 and 30 US$ via ebay. Still, this is expansive, but this sounds like a price more reasonable to me and lies in the range of Sum37 cleanser for example. It has some downsides, like the arrangement of the dispenser and that it doesn’t cleanse waterproof make-up that easily, but it is a good cleanser all in all.

Nevertheless, in total, this is a high end product and I’m really happy that MeMeBox is always selecting a bunch of nice products for their global boxes. By far, the global boxes had the best value so far and I can recommend everybody who didn’t try their boxes yet, to start of with one of their global boxes. For everybody using my referral link: if you choose any of the boxes from this Referral-Only Deal page you’ll be rewarded with 3 MeMePoints worth three US$ each box. Another affiliate promotion I can share with you is, that you’ll get $5 OFF discount on any orders above $100 (shipping charges not included) using my affiliate link. This can be combined with the coupon code from above as well! Other promotions: $5 off on entire order when purchasing over 3 Memeboxes: MEMEBUNDLE3$8 off on entire order when purchasing over 4 Memeboxes: MEMEBUNDLE4 Free shipping on orders above $70 from Memeshop: FREESHIPPING

Review: Illi Fresh Moisture Body Lotion

6. August 2014

// KBEAUTY / SKINCARE / AFFILIATE LINKS //

Another product from Illi, and it is from the same MeMeBox Global No. 11 like the sheet mask I reviewed previously: Illi’s Fresh Moisture Body Lotion. As the name already says, this is a body lotion with a fresh citrus scent. I never ordered a body lotion from a korean brand, because it is much more conventient to use one from a local drugstore – and cheaper, too, but since I received it, I want to share my opinion with you.

Illi is a Korean skincare brand, part of Amore Pacific group which is known by famous brands like Laneige, Etude House, Innisfree and many more. The products known are mainly focussing on body care, like lotions and body washes. The package design of the Illi products are simple and appear very clean or medical. They have a range of different lotions, each addressing a certain skin type. The lotion can be used on body and face, but I only used it on my body. The Illi Fresh Moisture Body Lotion is designed for hydrating dry skin and giving it back its elasticity.

This is a deluxe size sample containing 100 ml of the product. The full size product contains 350 ml and comes in a pump bottle. The description is only written in Korean on the backside of the bottle. The material is very sturdy. This is also the reason I would have preferred a pump for this smaller bottle, too, because the plastic is hard to squeeze and a pump would be easier to work with.

The product has a light yellowish color and smells of citrus. The main ingredients according to Illi’s product site are Gingseng for vitality, Yuzu lemon for stimulating and camllia oil for the glow. The product is lightweight and absorbs quickly and leaves no stickiness or greasiness on the skin. After application the skin has a silky soft touch which is very nice. Unfortunatelly, I think it is too light for addressing very dry skin. Since it is designed for moisturing, I was a bit dissapointed about this point. Other then this I really like how the skin feels afterwards. Again, it is not easy to find Illi products, but you can check out Jolse for this specific body lotion. The full sized product is quite expensive in my eyes and costs 20.98 US$. On W2Beauty or testerkorea you’ll find some other body lotions from Illi, but all are in the same price range.

Review: Illi Green Tea Brightening Mask

5. August 2014

I received the Illi Green Tea Brightening Mask with MeMeBox Global No. 11 and I tried it almost right away. Only writing up the review took me again too long :D I’m so sorry! Green tea is one of those ingredients with work quite well for advertisement for beauty products, because a lot of people know about the benefits it provides. Especially in Asian skincare you’ll find the ingredient often, just think of the super popular green tea line from Innisfree. Also, a lot of people love the scent :) like me for example ♥

Illi is a Korean skincare brand, part of Amore Pacific group which is known by famous brands like Laneige, Etude House, Innisfree and many more. The products known are mainly focusing on body care, like lotions and body washes. They also have a selection of sheet masks and this green tea brightening mask is part of it. The package design of the Illi products are simple and appear very clean or medical. The sheet mask has a description on the backside, but it is in Korean only. Nevertheless, there are images to explain how to use the mask, if this should be necessary at all.

You see the production date printed on the bottom of the backside. The sheet mask is a cotton type sheet mask. It consists of two parts, one for the upper facial area, the other for the lower facial area. The folded cotton sheet is separated with a plastic grid, which makes it easier to unfold the cotton sheets. The main ingredients of the mask according to the product page are ginseng for vitality, green tea for brightening, beans for moisture and camellia oil for protecting the skin.

The cotton sheets are soaked very deeply with a gel-like type of essence. This essence makes the cotton sheets cling perfectly to the skin. The cotton sheet material is very thick, too, and feels very soft. There is enough essence left over in the pacaging after taking out the sheet mask. The essence has a mild green tea scent, mixed with a typical skincare scent. When applied to the skin, the mask feels very soft and smooth. Since the mask is composed of two parts, it fits perfectly. I think it is the best fitting mask I tried so far, because it even covers my nose perfectly. The mask has a refreshing effect, which can be enhanced by putting it into the fridge before. The essence is so thickly on the sheet, that it doesn’t absorb completely and thus leaves a slight sticky feeling. After using, the skin looks shiny and fresh. I cannot say anything about the brighteing effect since I only used one mask. All in all, I’m amazed about the thickness and softness of the cotton sheet. I didn’t like that it didn’t absorb, but I would consider to try more sheet masks from Illi. Since the brand is not very popular, it is not easy to find the products. Testerkorea has some Illi products for example and among those also the Illi Green Tea Brightening mask. It costs 2500 Won, which is around 2.50 US$.

Did anybody try this mask, too? What’s your opinion? Do you know other Illi sheet masks?

Review: Witch’s Pouch Radiant Lolli Tint

17. July 2014

Witch’s Pouch Radiant Lolli Tint is one of my discoveries I received in MeMeBox Global 11 previously. I didn’t know the brand Witch’s Pouch before, but it is a Korean brand and the appearance of the sample product which I received convinced me to like the brand directly. While using it, my first impression even grew stronger and I can assure you, that this is a very nice lip tint and worth a try.

The sample sized tint comes in a pink packaging, displaying a witch’s hat, which refers to the brand name, as you can guess. On the back side it contains the Korean describtion and the information on the brand’s web page. there are three different shades available. This one is called “Funky Bloom” and it is shade No. 3.

Inside the packaging you’ll fin a tiny version of the tint. It is one my favourite and most travel-friendly sized tints :D

The tint comes with a straight applicator. The tint itself is a milk-type tint and glides smoothly on the lips. Thereby, the applicator is convenient to use.

The color is a nice pink shade. It smells of grapefruit and the scent reminds me of “Fanta Pink Grapefruit” drink, if you know it by any chance XD. After I swatched it on my hand and washed my hands afterwards a noticeable stain was left behind, so the staying power is nice, too :) The tint gives the lips a sublte pink color and it also shows up on my darker lips.

According to MeMeBox, this tint in it’s fullsize costs 14 US$. I didn’t find were to buy it yet, but if you live in Korea it might be easier to find. Also, take a look at their webpage in that case. I think the price is pretty reasonable, sice the quality of the tint is nice, too :) If you get a chance to try it, I can reccomend it to you :) Anybody else knowing the brand Witch’s Pouch? What products do you know and have you tried?

Unboxing: MeMeBox Oriental Medicine

10. July 2014

I was so excited about the MeMeBox Oriental Medicine since the moment I ordered it! There is always a kind of fascination about products containing oriental herbs, because they work really great in a sometimes magical way. MeMeBox describes this box a “key to youth” which makes it even more promising. Here is what I received in my newest MeMeBox:

The MeMeBox Oriental Medicine is described the following way:

“A favorite beauty regimen among Queens in ancient Korea, oriental medicines were used to revitalize and balance exhausted skin, giving them a beautiful and enchanting glow. Designed to improve softness, luster and elasticity, the mystical properties of oriental medicinal extracts leaves skin looking healthy and youthful. Great for all skin types including sensitive skin, oriental medicinal extracts improve the skin’s functions of regeneration, anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation and moisturization.”

Every box contains an overview card with the products and a description for the products. It is in English, which is great, especaially when the product packaging is only in Korean.

All in all we have 6 products: 2 of them are sheet masks, 3 are fullsized products and one is a deluxe sample kit. A great content for the tiny box as I must admit. :) Let’s see what each product is about:

1. Shib Jang Ceng Chun Ji Heang Hands Cream – 80 ml for US$17 (fullsized product)

This is a huge tube of hand cream with a nice scent. It feels nice and moisturizing on my first try and I will definitively use this up. It contains gingseng extract, shea butter and olive oil and is described as highly moisturizing. My first quick test was positive. :)

2. Purederm Korean Herb Mask – 19 ml*2 for US$2 (fullsized product)

4 different masks were available. I received the moisturizing mask called “Soo-an” and the brightening mask called “Myung-an”. The other masks were a refining mask and a hydrating masks, although I don’t know what the difference between the moisturizing and the hydrating mask will be. I didn’t try these yet (thanks to MeMeBox my decreased pile of sheet masks is growing again), but I really do like the packaging design. It looks very beautiful ♥

3. D’RAN Wonder Serum – 30 ml for US$30 (fullsized product)

I’m really looking forward to try this. It is said that it is made from 20 different Korean medical herbs like ginseng, black hoof mushrooms, licorice, portulaca and granoderma…It claims to give your face a deep nourishment and glowing complexion. Since I don’t have a serum in my skincare routine at the moment, I will add it. I hope it will make me look like a baby again, haha ;) In the direction it is written to use it before toner application. I would advice you to use it after toner, especially if you use a cotton pad for toner application. Otherwise you’ll wipe the serum off again.

4. Donginbi Donginbidam Red Gingseng Aqua Oil & Red Ginseng Aqua Pack Essence – 50 ml*2 for US$90/180 (deluxe sample with 5 ml*2)

Another product I’m really curious to try are these two. MeMeBox says that Donginbi is a super exclusive Korean department store brand. These contain red ginseng extract as main ingredient, which is known for it’s beauty-promoting properties. I will soon start trying these :)

5. Hanhui CC Cream – 50 ml for US$30 (fullsized product)

The last product is this beautiful CC cream containing ginseng extract, cactus extract and galactomyces fermented extracts. I will surely write a review on this one. I love trying new CC or BB creams.♥

In total I received a great box today. All the products are useful and interesting and the packaging of the products is beautiful, too. I cannot wait to try these on their efficiency :) Did anyone else order this box? How is your impression?

Unboxing: MeMeBox Scentbox Bundle

2. July 2014

Two days ago a huge box arrives at my doorstep and I was completely surprised what this heavy box might be, when I discovered that it was a set of the three scentboxes by MeMeBox. There were three MeMeBox Scentboxes available, each dedicated to a specific scent topic, and if you bought two of them, you received a third one for free. Again a superb deal by MeMeBox I couldn’t resist :D

The three scentboxes were themed Rose, Babypowder and Grapefruit Scentbox. At first I only wanted to buy the rose scent box, because I really love rose scented products, but then I was kind of undecided, because the babypowder scent box was appealing, too…and in the deal they offered I would get the grapefruitbox on top. So I finally ended up buying the whole set for 30 US$ (each of the boxes cost 15 US$).

Let’s start with the MeMeBox Rose Scentbox:

Evas Rosemine Plumpy Tint 01 Roseberry (13 g for US$11- box contained fullsize product)

A jelly-type lip tint in cherry red. The scent is very faint, but the packaging: OMG! Both Rose Mine products have such a girly beautifull packaging, I’m in love! the tint itself can be used on cheeks and lips, but it has to be blended in quickly, because it dries fast. It also leaves a good stain on your finger if you use them from blending or applying XD

Evas Rosemine Floral Remedy Foamy Cleanser (120 ml for US$22- box contained fullsize product)

Again, I love the packaging! ♥ And this is a nice partner for my Sum 37 Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick (I will do a review soon). This is a foamy cleanser which contains also rose petals. The scent is not overpowering but nice.

Happy Bath Rose Essence Body Wash (200 g for US$11- box contained fullsize product)

I didn’t use it yet, but it smells divine for lovers of rose scented products *_*

Hope Girl Magic Skin Primer (35 g for US$33- box contained 2 ml*5ea samples)

Such a pity that there was no full size of this! I love it! It smells super nice (the scent is stronger than of the rose mine products) and it is a nice primer, giving a satin smooth skin.

Second is the MeMeBox Babypowder Scentbox:

Eva’s Mimi Lauryn’s Perfume Soap French Blossom (100 g for US$18- box contained fullsize product)

I’m a solid soap hoarder. I’ve so many of them and I’m too slow in using them. I should start to change something about it XD The scent is really nice of this soap, but I didn’t unpack it yet. The packaging is also too beautiful to throw away ;_;

Urban Lailly 7 Seconds Make-Up Booster (50 g for US$40- box contained fullsize product)

I was excited about this item. It is a light blue colored priming cream, providing moisture and a more even skintone. I applied it on my hand and the feeling reminds me of Secret Key’s Snow White Cream.

Happy Fam Deo Fresh Baby Powder (20ea for US$2- box contained fullsize product)

These are Deodorant wipes for your armpits. Great for putting in a handbag or at work or travellling. A nice idea :) Didn’t try it yet.

Consensis fabric deodorizer (330 ml for US$7 – box contained deluxe sample)

A fabric deodorizing spay. I don’t have anything like that, so I’m happy about it :)

And last but not least the MeMebox Grapefruit Scentbox:

Eva’s Mimi Lauryn’s Dress Perfume Mist de Grapefruit (150 ml for US$18 – box contained fullsize product)

Another fabric, room and car spray with a fresh fruity scent. I like the etiquette of the spray bottle with its floral design.

Kaell28 Sunkilling Grapefruit Gel (270 ml for US$30- box contained fullsize product)

A multipurpose soothing gel. I love multipurpose gels and this one will replace my Etude House Aloe Soothing Gel as soon as it is empty. A pitty that it does not come with a pump though. Didn’t try it yet.

Happy Fam Deo Fresh Grapefruit (20ea for US$2- box contained fullsize product)

These are Deodorant wipes for your armpits. Great for putting in a handbag or at work or traveling. A nice idea :) Didn’t try it yet.

Sun Smile Hydro Gel Choosy Fruit Lip Mask (3 ml x 2ea for US$2- box contained fullsize product)

Finally, I can try a lip mask! :D I’m happy about this product and super curious to try it :)

All in all, I’m very happy with the boxes. The products are nice and they didn’t send a hand cream at all, which was my first thought when I was thinking of scented products. I have one or two favorite products in each box, but the one I love most is the Rose Scentbox ♥ Which one do you like most?

Unboxing: MeMeBox GetItBeauty 10 Minutes Box

13. June 2014

I know, it is another unboxing post and no review…I’m just so hooked by the various boxes that MeMeBox offers :D This time it is not their global boxes, but one of their themed special boxes. It is called “10 minutes Box” and it should help you to get ready for a date in 10 minutes. I didn’t try if it works with all the products from this box, but I doubt XD But: MeMeBox GetItBeauty 10 Minute Box contains some nice essentials if you want to prep yourself quickly for a date! ♥

MeMeBox GetItBeauty 10 Minutes 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.

MeMeBox GetItBeauty 10 Minutes Box

Here are the products I received in this MeMeBox:

MeMeBox GetItBeauty 10 Minutes Box

1. Secret Romance Hair Essence Lovely (60 ml) – full size (60 ml) costs US$39)

That’s a considerable price for such a tiny bottle. It is a pheromone hair essence with a has a flowery scent, according to the description a scent of “sensual rose”. The essence contains some oils in order to give your hair some shine. I didn’t use it on towel dry hair as written in the application, but only on dry hair and it smelled nice. I’ll try it again for sure and I’m always happy about new hair products to try.

2. Aromalab Designer Fragnance Oil- American Pheromone Woman Type 01 (8ml) – full size (8ml) costs (US$34)

Another scented product. This is a perfume role on in a travel frienly size. It is the same size like a lipstick as you can see in the image below. When applied first I don’t like the scent because it is very heavy and not the kind of scent I would buy, but after a while the scent turns somewhat less heavy and more sweet.

3. Hope Girl Milky Balm Lipstick Red Burgundy (3.4g) – full size (3.4g) costs US$25

I was super happy about this item. I love lipsticks and I love red colored shades and here is a red colored lipstick. The color is lovely and for me a daily wearable lipstick. And the packaging is beautiful. ♥♥♥ Another shade called Chicago Red was also available in some boxes.

4. Hope Girl Powdery Body Perfume (20 g)- full size (20 g) costs US$49

Again, the price is…..I mean, I would never buy a powder for 50 bucks myself…This one is from the same company as the lipstick and it has a matching design which I totally love ♥. The cap contains a build in powder puff. When you rotate it, the powder is released into the puff and you can apply it. This powder makes your skin look silky and gives it a sweet candy scent. It contains sweat absorbing micro particles. I tried it already and it is a nice powder and gives you definitively some refreshing feel.

5. Laboratory Eyelash Natural Angel 001 (5 pairs) – full size (5 pairs) cost US$5

The first japanese product I received in a MeMeBox! Woohoo! I hope they will add other japanese brands in the globaly available MeMeBoxes (I saw one korean MeMeBox with a Kate eyeshadow palette *_*). I don’t wear lashes often, but for special occasions I try to wear some. The design of the lashes I received it really nice and volumous. There were 5 different designs available in this MeMeBox.

MeMeBox GetItBeauty 10 Minutes Box

This MeMeBox was mainly focused on scented products: we have a roll-on perfume, a perfumed hair essence and a scented body powder. I think it could be hit or miss with scented products, but they all will make you feel clean and fresh for a date night. Nobody wants to smell bad on a date- even if you don’t have much time to prepare yourself. The pheromones in two of the products and the red lipstick add some seductive touch to your date night. I think the combination is a nice idea all in all. I’m especially happy about the Hope Girl products. They have a lovely leo pattern and together with the Hope Girl Nail Polish Kit from my previous MeMeBox Global No. 11 they look like a super cute trio. ♥

MeMeBox GetItBeauty 10 Minutes Box

This beauty box costs 23 US$, plus shipping (6.99 US$ for standard shipping). Unfortunately , it is already sold out, but they have so many new boxes, just take a look at MeMeBox to discover all the different Boxes they offer. But I think I never paid the full price for any of the MeMeBoxes I ordered up to now. They always have so many ways to save money, by coupons and other promotions. I can definitively recommend you to check out MeMeBox online store.

Here is a list of the current events/ promotions to save some money:

For signing up you receive 10 MeMePoints worth 10 US$ at the moment

Unboxing: MeMeBox GetItBeautyBox Global No. 11

8. June 2014

It’s another unboxing post for MeMeBox GetItBeautyBox Global No. 11. Yeiiih! :D I have to keep up with the product reviews for the items I receive- there are so many product reviews in my draft, I have to start making a list in order to publish all of them as soon as possible. The problem is that I’m far to lazy for being organized, haha. Okay, let’s see what was in this box finally:

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 this one, 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 XD

The first thing jumping into my eyes when opening the box was the product from Too Cool For School. I was uber-happy when I say the mint colored packaging because I knew directly what it was. That’s the first time I receive a MeMeBox featuring a product from Too Cool For School. A double-plus because it is a product from their Dinoplatz line, with the most adorable packaging ever!!! I reviewed another product from TCFS Dinoplatz before :)

Here is the product card with the English description for each of the products. I like the constellation of product types this time.

MeMeBox GetItBeautyBox Global No. 11 contains these products:

Dear by Eprani Moistful Booskin (65 ml) – full size (120 ml) costs US$ 31

If you combine Booster and Skin toner you come out with the word “Booskin”. It’s a moisturizing first step for the skincare routine. I heard some about Eprani products and I was eager to try a product. At the moment I’m testing another toner, so didn’t open this one yet.

Too Cool For School Dinoplatz Cinema City (10 ml) – full size (30 ml) costs US$ 30

Yeeiih, I love the super cute packaging of the TCFS Dinoplatz line. This is a CC cream from this line…I love the packaging so much and I’m overly happy to be able to try this. Review will be up in a couple of days.

Hope Girl Nail Travel Bling Bling Set No. 04 Gold Shine (full size product)

A nail polish set in a cute packaging. I received the Gold Shine Kit, but there were other kits available , too. I’m happy with the golden polish, because I don’t have any golden polishes yet. I didn’t try it yet.

Witch’s Pouch Radiant Lolli Tint No. 3 Funky Bloom (2.5 g) – full size (4.5 g) costs US$ 14

Again, a super cute packaging. I love the travel size, because it is so tiny and fits into any pouch! The color is nice, too, it is a nice pinish color, making your lips look more healthy and youthful. I will review this, too.

Illi Fresh Moisture Body Lotion (100 ml) – full size (350 ml) costs US$ 24

I would never spend so much money on a body lotion. But I love using body lotions and that’s something you can never have enough from. The scent is fresh and citrus-y and it feels nice on the skin. A review is planned for this one. It can be also used on the face, which is nice.

Illi Green Tea Brightening Mask – full size costs US$ 3

You can never have enough sheet masks and thanks to MeMeBox there will be one addition to my mask stash with every box. I love green tea, so I’m looking forward to use this. Maybe today, since the weather is so hot…

Purederm Botanical Choice Pure Solution Eye Cream (30 ml) – full size (30 ml) costs US$ 34

Last box contained an eye serum, this time we have an eye cream. It seems to be a good cream according to the price. I didn’t open it, since I just started a new eye cream but I’m always happy with eye creams.This one contains Niacinamide, so I guess it will give you a more radiant look.

Although this box only contains 2 full size products (the mask and the eye cream) I’m very happy. There is some decorative make up and some skincare, so the balance is nice. As I said, especially the TCFS CC cream is a highlight, but the other products look promising, too. Again, a nice box and I absolutely don’t regret buying it. Also, seeing this, I’m super happy about cancelling my Glossybox subscription…

The value of the box is amazing, too, considering the fact that you pay 23 US$ normally, plus shipping (6.99 US$ for standard shipping). But I think I never paid the full price for any of the MeMeBoxes I ordered up to now. They always have so many ways to save money, by coupons and other promotions. I can definitively recommend you to check out MeMeBox online store.

Here is a list of the current events/ promotions to save some money:

For signing up you receive 10 MeMePoints worth 10 US$ at the moment

Free shipping on orders above $70 from Memeshop: FREESHIPPING

$5 off on orders over 3 Memeboxes: MEMEBUNDLE3

For ordering the MeMeBox From Nature you’ll receive 3 MeMePoints worth 3 US$

Also, when making orders of some of the boxes you might get MeMePoints, too, this helps to save the shipping costs for your next order if you get addicted like me XD
