Valentine’s Day Special: Kissable Lips in 3 Steps

12. February 2016

// AFFILIATE LINKS / LIPS / VALENTINE'S DAY //

Valentine’s Day: Some love it, others hate it utterly! Either way, I have some pampering tips for you today, no matter if you celebrate Valentine’s Day or not: I will show you my 3 steps routine for achieving soft and smooth lips. ♥

There is nothing more bothering than dry and flaky lips. Especially in cold or very dry seasons almost everybody has made experience with dry and chapped lips. Not only does it feel bothersome, but also does it make any lip color makeup much more difficult. I hate it when special colors accentuate any dry flake on your lips! But apart from drinking a lot of water and using lip balm you can follow some easy steps to make your lips smoother and give them a nice pampering session.

First Step: Scrub Your Lips

First, you have to get rid of all the dead skin cells. Using a lip scrub is the most convenient way to do this. You can either buy a lip scrub, or make a simple DIY lip scrub using honey, sugar, and olive oil. I’m using the Missha M Soothing Care Lip Scrub and the Shara Shara Kissing Sugar Lip Scrub at the moment. I love the lip scrubs which come in a tube like the one from Missha, because you can take them with you while you’re showering and give your lips an occasional scrub. I’m using my fingers for scrubbing over my lips, but you can also use a tooth-brush (maybe another from the one you are using for your teeth…). The best way is to use circular motions to get rid of most of the dead skin.

Second Step: Lip Mask Patch

The second step gives your lips deep nourishment and moisture: Lip Mask Patches are hydrogel masks designed for the area around your mouth and for your lips. I love the lip patches from Pure Smile, but also other brands have these kind of lip patches. The Pure Smile Choosy Lip Patches have different types of essences: milky, fruity, honey, herb, peach, and many more! They contain Vitamin E, Collagen, and Hyaluronic Acid, which will make your lips soft and hydrated. The best part with lip patches is, that it looks ridiculously funny while wearing them, because the patch is shaped like an oversized lip.

Third Step: Lip Balm

The last step is the one we probably use mostly: Every woman has some lip balm somewhere in her handbag at least…or too many different lip balms which makes it difficult to decide which to use. After you scrubbed your lips and boosted them with a lip mask you can use a lip balm to seal them and keep them hydrated. My favorite two lip balms at the moment are the Tonymoly Mini Peach Lip Balm and the Classic Carmex Moisturizing Lip Balm. I also do love the Smith’s Rosebud Salve, but my jar is almost empty and the tin is so worn off that you cannot read the label anymore :D.

When using these easy steps of lip care on your lips they will be like new! Smooth and hydrated lips, perfect for your Valentine’s Date or any other occasion you want to – or even just for yourself, to feel even more pretty than you already do! ♥

Missha M Soothing Care Lip Scrub – W2Beauty for 10.43 US$, Missha Germany for 7.80 €

Graveyard: May – October Empties 2015

7. November 2015

I realized my last product empties post was for March & April! I always took the pictures for the empties posts but never made one, so here is a massive May – October Empties 2015 post! As usual, I didn’t include any sheet mask sachets or sample sachets, because it would simply be to messy. But as far as posible I tried to document the products I used up in the past months.

Stylenanda’s 3CE Water Wrapping Facial Mask – I reviewed these before and I absolutelly love how soft the cotton of these sheet masks is and how soft and nice the essence hydrates the skin. One of my favourite moisturizing sheet masks so far. Click for the review >>here<<. Repurchase? Yes!
Innisfree Jeju Bija Anti Trouble BB Cream – This was past expiration date and had to be tossed. I used it mostly mixed with other BB creams because it was to drying for dry skintypes. Click for my review >>here<<. Repurchase? No.
Heart Face Ultra Pore Care Sleeping Pack – I was super Excited to try this Sleeping Pack since it smelled so amazingly of Rose Water. Unfortunatelly, my skin didn’t like one of the ingredients, so I ended up using it on my dry body parts like knees and elbows. Worked fine for them, a pitty though that I couln’t use it as sleeping mask. Repurchase? No.
Innisfree Eco Safety Perfect Waterproof Sunblock – This was a lovely sun cream after all. I would think about buying the fullsize or one of the other versions of it. Click for my review >>here<<. Repurchase? Maybe.
Skin House Face Calming Galactomyces Cream – I loved this cream! It absorbed nicely and made the skin feel bouncy. I used it up so quicly after all. click for my review >>here<<. Repurchase? Yes.
Forencos Selene Project Silk Mask Series – I liked some of the sheet masks from this series and I also made a second in depth review on this set of sheet masks. I didn’t like the ampoule which was included for each sheet mask though. Click for my reviews >>here<< and >>here<<. Repurchase? Probably not.
Merz Special Beauty Talent – This cream was a complete dissapointment. I didn’t like the scent and it didn’t do anything for making my skin less dry, bumpy or anything it was promised to do. Repurchase? No!
It’s Skin Have A Pomegranate Cleansing Foam – Unfortuantelly, this Foam Cleanser was too drying for my skin. Click for my review >>here<<. Repurchase? No!
CosRX AHA 7 Whitehead Power Liquid – I did like this, although I do not have any Whiteheads to begin with. But for a AHA product this one is great. I can recommend you to check out the COSRX products in general because they do a nice job. Click for my reviews on the other COSRX products >>here<<. Repurchase? Maybe.
Skin79 BB Cream Miniatures – This were past expiration date, too. I used all of them from time to time, but I cannot say that one of these was my HG BB cream. click for my review >>here<<. Repurchase? No.
Etre belle Liplift Peel Exfoliator – Pretty much an average lip scrub. I like the tube it comes in. Repurchase? No.
Skinfood Rose Shake Point Make-Up Remover – I love this Point Make-Up Remover from Skinfood. It also comes in a Milk version which I want to try next. Click for my review >>here<<. Repurchase? Yes!
Rituals Sakura Scrub – Another product which I absolutely love! It smells so great and I cannot stop smelling my own skin after using this scrub. Same for the complete Cherry Blossom Line from Rituals! Repurchase? Yes!
Alverde Body Butter Vintage Rose – Guess what, I bought this body butter for the pretty design! It had a nice scent, too, but not as rosy as I had hoped. Nevertheless, a good product and also natural cosmetics! Repurchase? Maybe.
Benton Honest Cleansing Foam – This cleansing foam was surprisingly mild and not drying like other cleansing foams. I really enjoyed using this one, although I was really wary, because I had a negative experience with the Benton Snail Bee Steam Cream. Click for my review >>here<<. Repurchase? Maybe, if I have used up all my cleansers :D
Bioré UV Aqua Rich Watery Gel – So far my favourite suncream I used. Absorbs fast, doesn’t leave the skin sticky or oily, feels hydrating enough for dry skin. Click for my review >>here<<. Repurchase? Yes!
Rituals Cherry Blossom Body Milk – Also here: I love the scent of this line! Definitively want to rurchase it!
Dermasel Shower Gel Pomegranade – Just a regular showe gel. Had a nice scent, too, but it was not so lingering as the Rituals scents. Repurchase? No.
Johnson and Johnson (Bebe) Beautifying Eye Cream – I like the illuminating eye cream from Lavera much better than this one. This one didn’T absorb completelly and always left kind of a film underneath your eyes. Repurchase? No.
Meishoku DET Clear Bright & Peel Peeling Gel – Another product which I love! I can recommend you to try the MEishoku DET Clear Pelling Gels. They are perfect for using in the shower, too! I’m so sad this one is empty. Click for my review >>here<<. Repurchase? Yes!
Xaivita+ Goat Milk Whitening Cream – This cream is super great! I used it up quickly. It absorbs super fast and leaves the skin nourished. I still have a facial soap from this line and I want to make a review of both products together., so please be patient for more details. I can imagine to repurchase it! Repurchase? Yes.
Banila Co Clean It Zero – This mini jars of Banila Co Clean It Zero cleansing balm are great for travel! I already used the first of them, but I still have a couple more of these. There will be a review about these, too. Repurchase? Yes.
O.S.T C21.5 Vitamin C Serum – I like both vitamin C serums from O.S.T. and I can recommend you again and again to try a vitamin C serum for yourself. These are affordable and effective, too. At the moment I’m using a Vitamin C serum by MapleHolistics, but the bottle slipped out of my hand some days ago, so I will be out of vitamin C serum again…Probably I’m going for O.S.T again. Click for my review >>here<<. Repurchase? Yes!
Coreana SHO EGFactor Eye Cream – One of the best eye cream tubes I’ve had so far. The seringe shape was super convenient and you could close and open it easily. The cream was nice, too. I still have one of these at my bf’s house. See my review >>here<<. Repurchase? No, too expensive.
Shara Shara Fairy’s Synergy Sun Cream – Despite the creepy doll packaging and the defect pump this was not such a bad product. Nevertheless, the packaging puts me off. Repurchase? No.
Schwarzkopf Gliss Kur Ultimate Oil Elixir – I like these large jars of hair packs and treatments. This one smells of cacao. Liked it. Repurchase? Maybe.
Etude House Help My Finger Quick Drop Dry – I love these Quick Dry Drops for Nail polish. I ususally don’t have enough patience to wait ad ruin my nails almost immediatelly. These are great to prevent some of that damage. I bought a similar quick dry drop from Essence this time. Click for my review >>here<<. Repurchase? Yes.
Confume Argan Hair Treatment Ampoule – The Confume Argan Oil is one of my favourite hair oils at the moment. These treatment ampoules are great for a more intense treatment after washing your hair. I like them a lot. The review is still in progress though! Repurchase? Yes.
Dear by Eprani Believe in a Bottle Moistfull Booskin – One of the best Korean Toners (Skin) I tried so far! Lovely scent, makes the skin feel great and definitively worth a try! Repurchase? Yes!
Shiseido Hada Senka Hoshitsu Lotion – This Japanese Toner (Lotion) is great for homemade sheet masks or soaked cotton pads. Definitively worth a try, too. Click for my review >>here<<. Repurchase? Maybe.
Nelafantasia One day Whitener Magical Whitening Lotion – This was also past expiration date. This whitening cream contains titanium dioxide and makes the skin appear brighter. The packaging is lovely, but I didn’t use it often after all. Repurchase? No.
Alverde Repair Hair Butter – I didn’t like that at all. It was too rich to be used on dry or freshly washed hair and too hard to wash out when using as a pack before washing the hair. The scent was not to my liking either. Repurchase? No.
Schwarzkopf Essence Ultime Omega Repair Hair Mask – Another Hair Pack. I liked the version from above more, though. Repurchase? No.
Ingobeau Perfect Deep Clean One-Step Cleansing Water – My first cleansing water and now I’m eager to try more. I loved this so much and it was super effective in removing all kinds of makeup. It has a nice pH, too. There will be a review, soon. Repurchase? Yes.
Nivea Care face and body cream – This was not as heavy and rich as the regular Nivea Cold Cream, but lighter. If you like Nivea you might like it. Repuchase? MAybe.
John Frida Frizz Ease Dream Curls – I like this conditioning spray from Fritt Ease. This makes my curls look more defined and nice. I bought it in the past and I can imagine to repurchase it in future again. Repurchase? Yes.
Beautiful A.M. Moisturizer and P.M. Revitalizer – A pitty these are empty know, since it starts to get colder here in Germany. Facial oils are great for my dry skin in these times. These were light oils which absorbed fast and were not heavy. Click for my review >>here<<. Repurchase? I want to try other facial oils.
O’SUM’s Aloe Vera Soothing Mist – I do not use up many mists, but here I am with one. I tried to make use of the benefits of mists more often this summer. click for my review >>here<<. Repurchase? I want to try other mists, too.

That was quite a lot! I hope it’s useful for some of you nevertheless. Sorry, for the long and boring post! :’D

Do you know any of these and did you try them yourself? What is your opinion on these products I showed above? I’d be happy about your comments ♥

asian cosmetics beauty review

Review: Shara Shara Kissing Sugar Lip Scrub

3. July 2015

A quick review on a tiny but helpful product, the Shara Shara Kissing Sugar Lip Scrub! Especially if you have often dry or chapped lips lip scrub should be known to you. There are many alternatives to make DIY- lipscrub using honey and sugar, but sometimes it is just more convenient to have a ready made lipscrub at hands.

Shara Shara is kind of a newer brand compared to Etude House or Missha etc. It attracts the attation mainly by a very girly and cute packaging design, using bright colors and illustrations. The subtitle of their official page is “the romantic lounge for ladies”. You’ll find a lot of doll faces and comic figures on their products, too. I reviewed the Shara Shara Real Sauce sheet mask previously and I have some other Shara Shara products which still need to be reviewed, mainly from my MeMeBox purchases of last year :D (unfortunatelly, they don’t ship to Europe anymore, but if you are from the US you still might to check it out). The Shara Shara Kissing Sugar Lip Scrub is from MeMeBox, too, but I still had another lip scrub which I wanted to use up before starting to use this one.

First thing to notice for this lip scrub is the doll face depicted on the tin, where the lip scrub comes in. Depending on your taste you might regard the design as cute or too childish. For me personally it is not the prettiest design, because I don’t think that the doll face is specially cute :’D Nevertheless, I can understand if people love the design. The colors of the tin are pastell colors to have everything fit in this dolly-girly image.

Inside the tin you’ll find the product, which looks like a solid lipbutter with some dark particles inside. The Shara Shara Kissing Sugar Lip Scrub contains 10 g of product and consists mainly of brown sugar, avocado oil, honey extract, shea butter and vitamin E derivate Tocopheryl Acetate. apart from the brown sugar for exfoliating it also contains Walnut Shell particles.

Of course, the disadvantage of having a tin is that you have to touch the product either by your (hopefully clean) fingers, or use a spatula in order to keep the product as clean as possible. I preferr lip scrubs with a more creamy formula which come in a tube which is definitively more hygienic. Other than that the product is easy to take out, since the shea butter is melting easily. There is also a good amount of sugar and walnut shell particles to ensure an effective scrub. After using it and washing the product of your lips the lips feel soft and also hydrated because of the Shea butter (and probably also the other ingredients like avocado and argan oil) and they feel like you have applied lipbalm. The taste of the product is flowery/perfumy, which is a bit of a sad point here. Of course there is the sweetness from the sugar, but I would have preferred a more yummy scent than perfume.

Alltogether the Shara Shara Kissing Sugar Lip Scrub does a good job as lip scrub and makes the lips feel soft and nourished and nice afterwards. It is not expensive either, so if you don’t mind the lack of nice taste and like the packaging you will do nothing wrong with this. I personally will use it up, but I will probably try out another more tasteful lipscrub after this one :D You can get this lip scrub for 4730 won (~5 US$) from testerkorea for example.

Review: Shara Shara Real Sauce Lemon Sheet Mask

27. November 2014

// KBEAUTY / SKINCARE / AFFILIATE LINKS //

It is time for another sheet mask review again. Let’s take a look at Shara Shara’s Real Sauce Lemon Sheet Mask, which I received with my MeMeBox Nakedbox. The box contained three masks from it, so I could test it out a couple of times, too, which is a nice in order to see its effect.

Shara Shara is kind of a newer brand compared to Etude House or Missha etc. It attracts the attation mainly by a very girly and cute packaging design, using bright colors and illustrations. The subtitle of their official page is “the romantic lounge for ladies”. You’ll find a lot of doll faces and comic figures on their products, too. The Shara Shara Real Sauce sheet mask is available in 11 different forms and the lemon sheet mask is one of these. The design of the masks is pretty cute and colorful and I really like it. It displays a lemon on the front, so you directly know the main ingredient of this mask just by looking.

The backside of the sachets contains the description of the mask written in Korean. The ingredients are written in English, too. You can find the ingredients listed on COSDNA >>here <<. Most of them are green or yellow flagged. There is one red flagged ingredient which is Triethanol Amine, which is a pH Adjuster. On the other hand, it contains quite some good moisturizing ingredients like hyaloronic acid and glycerin.

It is a cotton sheet mask, so the material of the mask is soft and feels nice on the skin. The sheet is super soaked in the essence. I could say that it is almost dripping. You can definitively use the excess essence on your arms and neck etc. It was a bit difficult to unfold the mask though, because there is no plastic separator to make it easier. Apart from this the application was pretty much normal. The mask contains lemon essence, which means it is supposed to be vitalizing and refreshing. It is said that it controls oil and provides moisture on the same time. I can not tell anything about the oil controll, because my skin is quite dry at the moment, but I could see the moisturizing effect. My skin felt hydrated and soft and I can say that I was pleased about the effect. The scent is pretty strong in my opinion, and it smells like citrus/lemon scent is supposed to be. Citrus scents are not my favourite, unless they smell like the real fruit like the Beautiful AM Moisturizer facial oil or the Illi Fresh Moisture Bodylotion. Here the scent reminded me to much of artificial lemon scent, which I didn’t like personally too much, but that is again a matter of preference :) All in all the mask did a good job, like you expect from sheet masks: refreshing and moisturizing!

Each sheet mask sachet contains 20 g and costs 3.66 US$ at W2Beauty.

Tell me who tried these Shara Shara Real Sauce masks already? Which is your favourite?

Unboxing: MeMeBox My Cute Wishlist No.3

12. November 2014

One of the best MeMeBoxes I bought so far was the MeMeBox My Cute Wishlist. I contained some great and really adorable product and was a main reason for me to buy the My Cute wishlist No. 3 and No. 4 aswell. Two weeks ago I finally received the My Cute Wishlist No. 3 Box and I must say, that it didn’t keep up to the first one unfortunately. But not all the products were dissapointing, there are also some nice items, although I think they should have given the box another name in first place. Let’s see what I received this time:

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, 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 (check out the links at the end of the post)…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.

From the first glance at the box I could tell the overall theme of the box was going towards “dolls/ dolly faces”. The box comes with a product description card like all the previous boxes. The card contains the imprtant informations for the products and the directions on how to use them.

1. Tonymoly Red Cheeks Girl’s Patch (full-sized product contained, 1 ea costs 2 US$)

These are gel-type patches which you can put on your cheeks in order to sooth dry and rosy cheeks. In principle it is like a sheet mask only in a patch form, similar to the patches available in My Cute Wishlist No. 1. It is nice to have a Tonymoly products in this box, even if this is only a “small” product.

2. Hope Girl Tinted Lip Balm (full-sized product contained, 5 g for 12 US$)

This lip balm remind me of Etude House Magic Tint Balm. It has the typical design of all Hope Girl products and comes with a leo-pattern lid. I’m actually not using a lot of lip balm, but it is always good to have one at hand. I don’t think that it is especially cute, but it will be of use at least. They selected between three different types randomly: Strawberry, Love Peach and Hot Cherry.

3. Shara Shara Kissing Sugar Lip Scrub (full-sized product contained, 10 g for 7 US$)

Perfect for winter. A lip scrub containing sugar and walnut shells for peeling and several oils for smoothing the lips. I will definitively try it out :)

4. Shara Shara Fairy’s Synergy Sun Cream SPF45 PA++ (full-sized product contained, 30 ml for 21 US$)

I think this product was causing a lot of dissapointment for MeMeBox lovers, because the doll is not regarded as cute to most people, as far as I did read other reviews. I would not count it as cute either, but I must say that the sun cream inside is great. It absorbs quickly, is not sticky and not greasy. It has UV-A and UV-B protection, too, and can be used as primer for makeup. The scent is nice and light too. So I’ll give the product a thumbs up, despite the doll- packaging. Unfortunately, the pump dispenser didn’t work. I contacted the support and I received 5 MeMePoints as a compensation…which is worth 5 US$ in total for a product worth 21 Us$….I don’t know if I’m too happy about it.

5. ddung Family Foam Cleansing Cream (full-sized product contained, 120 ml for 12 US$)

Although this has also a doll face inspired packaging I don’t think it is too badly designed. I didn’t try the foam yet, but it is always good to have some backup. There were two different kinds available, which were randomly selected for each box. I received the fruity version, but there is also one in a yellow tube called milky foam cleansing cream.

6. Youngwoosa Oh! It’s Lovely and Soft Cream (full-sized product contained, 45 g for 47 US$)

I love the design of this one. It is so asian-oldschool like…at least to me. The cardboard box is simple and yet adorable, with the scalloped openeing and the cream-type cream ismoisturizing and feels like a promising cream to me. I will put it into my routine next.

In general I think that this MeMeBox failed its theme a bit. Not everybody regards doll faces as cute, but it is also a matter of taste actually. Since it is a surprise box you have to be prepared to not get what you expect all the time. Actually, I bought quite some MeMeBoxes and this is the first time I had a more dissapointing feeling about the box. Thinking back to the Glossyboxes I have ordered I would definitively say that there were more times I was dissapointed back then. Another point is, that there are actually a lot of people who are in love with Shara Shara’s product design. for example: I love the design of the sheet masks I received with the MeMeBox Nakedbox. Unfortunatelly, a doll shaped pump dispenser is not everybodies tasting though…I don’t think that it is super ugly, but I wouldn’t put it in a cute-themed box after all. I must say the cardbox of the Shara Shara sunscreen is adorable though…and super girly, too. Despite of the packaging I must say that the product is really nice. The sunscreen absorbs quickly and leaves the skin non-sticky! I will definitively use it. I also like the moisturizing cream and the design of the packaging. I will try to use all the products for sure and I will keep you updated with more detailled reviews soon. Although this box didn’t fulfil my expactations I’m looking forward to MeMeBox My Cute Wishlist No.4 :)

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?

Unboxing: MeMeBox Global No. 15

26. October 2014

Another MeMeBox Unboxing and I have to say, that I’m super happy that I bought another global box again, after having so many themed boxes. MeMeBox Global No. 15 comes heavily packed with 7 products, all of them fullsized ones. There is nothing to complain about considering the value!

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 (check out the links at the end of the post)…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.

As you can see, this box contains some nice and interesting products. Below you see the product card which was included in the box and contains the description of the products. I recognized that they added the information in the products card whether the product is available at MeMeStore or not.

1. Tonymoly BCDation all master (fullsized product 50g for 24 US$)

This is a product by the Korean brand Tonymoly combining BB cream, CC cream, and foundation in one product. There was a previous version for this cream and now, since they added the term “all masters” I think this is supposed to be the new version. I don’t know yet what they’ve been changing but I will make a comparison between the two products soon. As for the product on its own I’m really happy that they put a BB cream in the box, because I love trying out different BB creams. Colorwise this product has a lighter shade and is probably not suitable for people with dark skintones.

2. miss.age Snail Anti Wrinkle Serum ( fullsized product 50 ml for 53 US$)

This serum is also available at MeMeShop and is directed to prevent and repair the skin against aging factors. It provides moisture and helps to tighten and lift the skin. According to the product card it contains over 5500 mg of snail mucus extracts (I don’t know if this is true, but that’s what they say). We all know by know about the skin healing properties that snail mucus provides, so I’m curious about the effects of this serum. It is a thicker, milky type serum. Stay tuned for a more detailled review.

3. Mise en scène Perfect Serum (fullsized product 70 ml for 9 US$)

I have to admit that I’m really a fan of asian haircare products. I used to have ultra fizzy and curly hair and since I started using different kinds of asian hair products my hair is much easier to handle. So I’m super happy that this box contains two hair products! This one is a hair oil type of product which can be ued before and after hair drying and inbetween, too. It has a nice smell and absorbs into the hair without leaving it greasy. I use alternately with the Confume Argan Oil from Wishtrend (which is awesome- review is planned soon).

4. Shara Shara I Wanna Pencil Gel Liner (fullsized product 1ea for 8 US$)

This product from the brand Shara Shara was randomly selected from two colors: BK01 Deep Black and BR01 Dark Brown. I received the Dark Brown Pencil Gel Liner and I’m happy because I don’t have a brown Pencil atm.The brown color is really a dark brown and even for me, although I prefer black eyeliner, I like to use it. It is creamy and has a nice pigmentation. On top it comes with an integrated sharpener, similar to those from the Etude House 101 Play Pencils. It doesn’t contain any shimmer particles, but has a matte color. I’m happy that MeMeBox recently puts a lot of Shara Shara products into their boxes, because it is a nice brand actually.

5. Tosowoong Makeon Lip Manicure 30 Seconds (fullsized product 5.5 g for 12 US$)

This is the third Lip Manicure product I’m trying know apart from the Clio and the RiRe Lip manicures. I’m not too happy of these products, because they fade out mostly ungracefully. This product here was selected between 5 different shades and it is also available at the MeMeShop. I received No.03 Pure Peach, a vibrant pink color. Since it is not a intense red color it fades at least more gracefully than the other products. Once it is dry it does’t transfer, but it will not last forever.

6. Ariul Stress Relieving Purefull Cleansing Foam (fullsized product 75 ml for 8US$)

I’m still using my other cleansers atm, so I’ll keep this for when I’m out of foam cleansers. I didn’t know the brand and I’m curious to try this foam cleanser out and I like the packaging of this one. It is smaller than the usuall foam cleanser tubes I tried, but it is a fullsized product nevertheless.

7. Mise en scène Perfect Repair Treatment Pack (fullsized product 180 ml for 16 US$)

As I said before, I love asian hair care products and I’m already using this hair treatment every second or third day. It smells nice and leaves my hair super soft and easy to comb through. I feel that it is a nice hair product all in all.

As I said, the moment I opened up the box and saw how fully packed it was, I was already absolutely satisfied. First thing I saw was the Tonymoly BCDation All Masters cream. I received the normal version of the BCDation with a previous version in a sample size and I’m really looking forward to write a comparatative review between those two. Another product I will probably make a comparison review on is the Makeon Lipmanicure. I already did a comparison between Clio’s and RiRe’s Lipmanicure earlier. Apart from this, this box contains all kind of variety: you have products for haircare, for skincare, and even make-up products. I really love how balanced it is! ♥ I still can recommend you, if you like surprise boxes you should get one of the global boxes. So far they never let me down. 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?

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?
