Memebox Cleanse & Tone~ ✧

image

 

I bought this box because I was toner-deprived back then. It’s interesting how Memebox supplies you with lots of the same item within a few weeks– there was an overload of foam cleansers and creams last month, and now its cleansing tissues’ and lip balms’ turn! 😛

The Memebox Cleanse and Tone is almost practically fail-proof. I thought it is a box of things we ladies need in a long run, so why not? 🙂

Info-card;

image

image

The Neogen Code9 Glucose Skin (250ml, $26) is as exciting as it looks! It claims to be lightweight, hydrating and nourishing at the same time. There are fermented glucose complexes in this one (I don’t remember encountering fermented glucose before?) and works as a toner for after cleansing.

image

It is of a light pink color which isn’t the bottle I’m sure. The toner dispenses as a spray and smells subtle and fresh. ❤

image

It expires in 2017 I suppose (the date is manufactured date) so I have plenty of time before getting to this one!

The second most exciting bit it these lil babes: Banila Co Clean it Zero Original and Resveratrol (7g x 2). I have always wanted to try these and yay to travel sizes too!

image

It is a cult favorite and ranks top 3 in their (Banila Co)  bestseller page.

I am especially interested to try this resveratrol one because of the powerful antioxidant properties it promises. This smells absolutely amazing as well! ❤

I am definitely packing this Charmzone Gingko Natural Cleansing Tissue (10 sheets) on my year-end trip. It is enriched with- you’ve guessed it- gingko.

image

Okay, obviously nothing to shout about, but I love how practical this is and it is light too! I can’t carry 100x sheets in my weekender, no.

The Mizon Cotton Shower Sheet Essence (55ml, $7) however, is a tad heavy and confusing at first glance. Is this….a mask? Cleansing tissue? Or toner? Because the description tends to claim all three possibilities, I might have to use it first to judge it.

image

You can use it as a toning sheet or a point pad mask (for dry patches). I got the “Moist” version which I reckon is for dry skin. There is also the oily skin version (“Fresh”) in blue and green graphics.

image

Glad that this is resealable too. I think keeping this in the fridge for summer might be absolutely amazing for the sun-burnt skin. 🙂

I quite like Enesti as a brand. The Enesti Yuzu Foaming Cleanser (120ml, $14) sounds quite lovely. For anyone who doesn’t know, yuzu is believed to be a hybrid of sour mandarin, hence the citrusy illustration. 

image

This will lather up well and cleanse deep into the pores while delivering rich moisture. I think I might have to shower with my other cleansing foams before getting to this tube, but first impressions? Sounds good to me.

I have gotten the a;t Fox Tea Tox Water Clear Tablet (4g, $2) before and haven’t gotten around to using it although I adore the brand packaging. I just don’t think my sink is clean enough for this and do not own a facial basin either…

image

 

I do like the idea of making your own cleansing water with the pH of 4.9 and all the added benefits. It might be better if they come up with a makeup remover water for us lazy ladies! 😛

 

Overall, this is quite a satisfactory box! I like and will use most of the box for sure. My favs are the Code9 toner and Banila Co Clean it Zero. ❤ For the price tag of $23 (+ $6.99 shipping), this box did not disappoint at all. I will keep an eye on useful everyday Memeboxes and solid food-themed ones for sure.

Memebox global # 12 unboxing

My memebox #12 arrived last few days, but I only got time to review it now. I was extremely pleased that the memepeople has curated some different products– yes, that Smooth sensitive removal cream and a face clay pack I totally adore! But we will get to those later.

The box itself is super heavy! It contained 7 items (2 being the same cream+ it’s sample tho).

The info card as usual;

20140630_090637631_iOS20140630_090649993_iOS

The first item is the Ryo Anti-Hairloss Treatment in a deluxe sample size of 50ml ($3). Valued at $12 for 200ml, this product promises to strengthen, soothe and nourish your scalp.

It contains biota seed, coix seed, green tea and gold extracts (whaa..??). At first when I opened and got some out, it smells strongly of ginseng candies (I am sure Asian memefans can relate).

 

20140705_142314396_iOS20140705_142349837_iOS

 

It feels like a normal conditioner, slippery but not soapy. I will try this out and review if it is an HG item.

 

Next is one that I said I love: Banila Co. Claypatra Mineral Salt Clay Pack (12g- $2.50)–main reason being that it is gentle and smells like a hotel’s expensive mineral salt spa!

I also coincidently ran out of my Innisfree Volcanic pack (which is one of my HG btw), so I gave this a try the other night and boy was it good.

It has microgranules for exfoliation as well as Dead sea minerals that hydrates and nourish. Unfortunately this sample is only 12g (valued at approx $2.50) and I think it is good for just 4-5 uses.

20140705_144551306_iOS

 

Yup, I’ve used up that much already.

 

There are 2 Plagentra White Mark creams in this box– 1 being the 15g deluxe sample of the Step 1 cream. The other was a packet of foil samples consisting of all 3 steps; the cream, massage gel and lotion.

20140705_065933559_iOS

Not sure how this will work as a cream as I don’t have stretch marks to test on.

 

 

20140705_142255404_iOS

 

You can read about them on the info card. The information is kinda vague tho.

20140705_070017582_iOS

 

The sealed tube is travel friendly, so I might bring this around to treat my ankles and elbows probably.

The foil sample trio

 

I know many memefans are most excited to see which color they have received for the L.Vida Nail Polish (10ml- $7). The color was randomly selected from: Cosmos Bouquet, Hyacinth Bouquet, Aqua Green, Little Princess, Barbie pink, Peony bouquet, Neon Orange, Pink Orang, Juicy Lemon and Passion blue.

I received the LC-14 Peony Bouquet which is a nice violet-ish pink polish.

20140705_143030402_iOS

I like that the packaging looks so cute and spring.

20140705_143104433_iOS

I know a girl who might appreciate this!

 

Next is a full-sized item, the Inter-cos Smooth Sensitive Removal Cream (250ml- $43). I have tried a little of this on my calf and it does work quite well. They did point out that 1 try is not enough to remove everything, but I like that this does not involve scrubbing/scrapping/shaving.

20140705_143238587_iOS

Instructions in English on the box.

The only downside is probably the fact that this smells pungent. If it works perfectly, smell is probably a small hitch right?

20140705_143213765_iOS

 

 

 

The last product is a heavy one as well. It is the Palan Crysence Organic Essence (120ml- $72). If that is the price, I assume there are gold foils or caviar in it. I might have to use this for a bit to judge on it’s efficacy.

20140705_142545681_iOS

I like the packaging design as it comes with a stopper and dispense when you push the top.

 

20140705_142656268_iOS

It does not have a distinct smell, but probably leaning towards the subtle, floral side.

This is a leave-in and you can use it after showering, and before blow-dry.

 

The Memebox 12 is a great box, valued at a price of  approx $133. It might be a little less than that estimate, but I did get this box with some promo codes so it wasn’t $23+ $6.99 (shipping).

I think Memeboxes might need some consistency with their products, though a novelty item or two now and then is a great surprise. I have got tons of hair (and nail) stuff from them so far although I did not purchase the Hair Superbox. It is an individual preference thing I guess…..I am just a sucker for skincare- face or body.

You may use the following promo codes;

 588KKYR9G4 – $5 discount on any memebox order. (Valid date : July 1st ~ end of July, limit to one time per customer.)
EJPWG5 – $5 off any pruchase. Valid until the end of July.
