Subscription Box Reviews

I think Memebox Global boxes are the best. You get a super variety from many different brands. No silly themes, just good products at a great price! I just dislike that they are spread out so much. On top of that I’m in Montana so I get my boxes even later than most people.

PRICE:  $23.00 + S/H SOLD OUT

Here are the 5 FULL SIZE products I got in this box.

 

 

 

 

 

Unni Recipe ~Vitamin Recharger Mist 130ml ($15)

Quench skin’s thirst and brighten up dull complextions with this mist that’s enriched with 6 different vitamins and hyluronic acid. Free from parabens, mineral oil, alcohol, tri-alcohol, artificial coloring and benzophenon. Can be used with all skin types.

Delskin ~ Centella 90 Power Ampoule 30ml ($14)

“Over 90% of this facial ampoule consists of Centella Asiatica extracts, world-renown for its intensive soothing and repairing agents highly gentle and effective on sensitive skin suffering from stimulated, reddened spots or blemishes. Rejuvenate dry, tired skin with one of Mother Nature’s best gifts!”

Mizon ~ Snail Recovery Gel Cream 45 ml ($24)

I know I’ve been using K-Beauty products for a few months now. I just can’t bring myself to using snail stuff. *shutter*

“A light, fast-absorbing gel cream consisted 74% of snail mucus extracts which work to soothe and de-stress while moisturizing, nourishing, and firming the skin for a gentle, non-irritating blemish & wrinkle care.”

Elizavecca ~ Shrink Lifting R Pro 120ml ($28)

I love this product! It makes my legs feel so much better after sitting at work for HOURS. I like the smell too. 🙂

“Oil-based and non-sticky, Elizavecca Shrink Lifting R Pro is a cream for your swollen calves. It works to literally ‘shrink’ the size of calves by relieving stimulated skin and increasing skin elasticity & firmness. Its gentle yet effective formula consists of mandarin extracts, coffee extracts, sage oil, peppermint, winter green, and mate leaf extracts.”

Hair+ ~ Velvet Nutri-Injection 12ml ($5)

Sounds amazing, but the tube is tiny. I have long, thick hair and this may not be enough to try it.

“For all those damaged hairs out there, the Velvet Nutri-Injection is here to save the day! There’s absolutely no need to rinse after application. Simply apply it throughout your hair, especially the damaged ends, after towel drying, and experience results of a hair clinic program!”

RiRe ~ Style Black Head Brush Cleanser & Skinny Black Head Closing Serum 40ml/20/ml ($18)

This is a two-step program. I am so excited to try it. I have MEGA pores.

“Packed with black food complex – black rice, black beans, black sesame – rich in protein and iron, the Style Black Head Brush Cleanser effectively removes any oil, dirt, blackheads, whiteheads, dead skin cells, and skin impurities clogging up the pores and delivers improved firmness and skin elasticity by tightening up blackhead-less pores. Then, the Skinny Black Head Closing Serum provides the perfect 2nd step oil control and pore care for maintaining a well-balanced skin condition.”

When I first opened this box I thought MEH, but I actually really really love it. I’ll use all the products (ok not the snail stuff) and may even buy more in the Memebox store.

Leave it to K-Beauty to come up with interesting must have products. Except snail poo.

I paid for this box and all opinions are mine. ~D

A nourishing multi-balm enriched with shea butter, Vitamin A, and Vitamin E. It’s highly recommended to be used over dry patches on the face, lips and body, and also on damaged ends of hair as often as needed. It’ll not only replenish and nourish but also create a moisture barrier for preventing further dehydration.

A miraculous blue calming gel for soothing, cooling, and moisturising red, irritated skin dry patches, and even oily trouble skin suffering from excess blemishes. The blue formula comes from chamomile extracts, and it does not contain any artificial colouring at all.

I’m really excited about this box. Aside from the A.H.C kit I’ll use everything in this box. I’m most excited for the Jasmine Sleeping Water Mask

Beauteque is always coming out with incredibly tempting limited edition beauty bags.

This was a great bag and I’m happy I got it. Now I’m curious as to what the other bags had.  Has anyone else got the other two bags? If so, how are they?

I paid for this bag and all opinions are mine. ~MizD

A moist BB cream formulated with micro pearl powders, diamond powders, and amethyst powders for a lovely complexion gleaming with subtle pearls and shine. It also protects the skin form exposure to UV rays and takes care of skin imperfections with natural coverage.

I don’t use BB/CC creams, but this one sounds different. I might have to give it ago.

Shara Shara ~ Only You Necklace Lip Balm No.1 Juicy Peach ($34)

Infused with a sweet peachy scent and tinted with a lovely coral radiance, this special lip balm is designed into a bling-bling necklace.

I doess smell yummy, but I don’t wear ANY kind of gold. This will be gifted.

TheYeon ~ Jeju Hallabong Energy Pack 3g x 4 ($6)

A set of four yogurt-like mask packs each catered to treat different skin problems and conditions.

The two Live Pack delivers Jeju energy deep into the skin, replenishing and cooling dry, stimulated face.  The Pore Ghassoul Pack treats large pores and help rid of excess sebum and dirt clogged up.  The Peeling Gel exfoliates away dead skin cells for a smoother, well-nourished complexion.

Etude House ~ My Castle Hand Cream 30ml Full Size ($7)

Out of four flavors I got Forever Rose. Not a fan.

Made from a blend of shea butter and 6 kinds of organic herbs the My Castle Hand Creams are non-sticky, lightweight hand moisturizers each scented with 4 different signature fragrances.

Too Cool For School ~ Dinoplatz Cinema City 10ml Full Size ($30)

Delivering abundant nutrition and moisture to your skin for an egg-smooth texture. This multi-functual CC cream will brighten up your complexion, protect from the sun and take care of signs of aging as well.

Not happy with two CC creams. 🙁

Shara Shara ~ Acerola Moist Oil Balm 30 ml Full Size ($17)

Instantly replenish moisture to dry, flaky skin on your body with this balm. Enriched with macadamia seed oil, horseradish seed oil, aloe very leaf extracts, peach extracts and acerolda extracts.

I was all for this before I read about the horseradish. I’d think it was irritating. I’m not sure I’ll try this or not.

Super cute box even though not everything is for me. I’m a fan of Shara Shara so I was glad to get a lot of that this time.

I paid for this box and all opinions are my own ~MizD

Camellia oil, green tea extracts, panthrnol, and black bean extracts work to remove any sweaty foul smell from your feet. It will leave them feeling soft and silky. It will also help prevent heat rash and itching.

I had to admit, I tossed this at my boyfriend right after I read about it. 🙂

Tosowoong ~ Micro Face Towel ($11)

ProYou ~ Body Scrub Peeling Emulsion, 150ml ($43)

This is a lotion-type body exfoliator enriched with various hydrating ingredients such as shea butter and vitamin E, which help protect the skin from losing its moisture level while the jojoba scrub gently rubs away all dead skin cells and skin impurities. Plus the plant complex consisting of rosemary, chamomile, green tea, and licorice extracts help to sooth and to strengthen the adaptability to different skin conditions.

This had me going until it said licorice extract. I highly doubt it smells of red licorice, but of black instead. YUCK! Afraid to even check.

Elizavecca ~ Milky Piggy Collagen Coating Protein Ion Injection, 50ml ($34)

Packed with ceramide 3, collagen extracts, bean protein extracts, and various plant extracts, this hair essence will deliver real protein and nutrition, and transform flaky, damaged straw ends to silky smooth hair.

It works to soothe and deeply moisturize your skin by creating a protective layer on top. Basically, this nourishing serum will fill your skin with intense hydration for a water-ful, glowing complexion.

So you want me to put moldy spit on my face? That’s what it sounds like to me. *shiver*

KSkin ~ Bulgarian Rose Premium Feminine Secret Cleanser, 200ml ($15)

OK I feel like a prude freak, but I giggled like a school girl at the description of this product AND the instructions. I’m not even going to share it. You’ll have to Google it. Even the direction part couldn’t finish. It started giggling and stopped. I’m going to have to Google it FROM HOME.

So basically this is a “Get rid of any funk” you have box. SERIOUSLY! I’m grateful and insulted at the same time. Who else got this box? What are your thoughts on it?

Thanksgiving Box Collection #1 For Me + Thanksgiving Box Collection #2 For You  $52.00

 

 

Beauteque BB  Bag is new subscription service. They are A US-based company, based in New Jersey,with an “East meets West” philosophy. They source from the best products on the international market.  They pre-released bags in July as test run for their official service launch in January. **Though this is September’s bag, I did not order it until October. It’s not a reoccurring sub right now so I forgot all about it.

PRICE: $22 with free shipping, Canada (+$6), and Europe (+$8)

The bag was super cute but had a horrible plastic smell so I promptly tossed it. I had to wash my hands several times to get the smell out.The contents however, were fantastic!

There were 6 products this month, 3 were customizable.

The cleanser choices were aloe, cherry, lemon or green tea. By the tine I ordered my only choice was Holika Holika ALOE Cleansing Foam ` ($14)

The lash choices were daily, glitter, or special. I chose daily.

the lip gloss choices were pink, cherry or mango. I chose Cherry but got a balm type cherry instead of the tubes everyone else got. I still like it though. It smells really nice.

My FAVORITE item The Face Shop Cherry Cherry Lips Modeling Gel Patch  ($7). I am so addicted to these. They leave your lips and the area around them so soft. I have sensitive skin and was worried I’d break out, but I didn’t. I’m on the hunt for more of these!

The pink tube is Mizon Multi Function Formula Snail Recovery Gel Cream ~ ($16).  I tried a dab on my hand and it didn’t smell like anything and it was pretty softening. I like that it’s a gel, but right now I have a favorite moisturizer that I want to use up before I open anything else up.

Beauteque Minerals Cleanser Brush ~ ($35) is to be used with the cleanser we got. It’s really soft and left my face feeling clean and fresh.

Aside from the actual bag, this was a great month. I loved everything in it and can’t wait until they start their reoccurring sub so I never forget to order a bag.

I paid for this bag on my own and all opinions are mine. ~D
