Memebox SUPERBOX #52 THUMBS UP! BEAUTY BOX ~ Unboxing Haul
Who's heard of all these beauty boxes that are coming out? I mean I first heard of birchbox and then all these other ones; glossybox, ipsy, jolie box, memebox and etc.
I have always been interested in trying one out and was contemplating purchasing memebox from Korea through easybuy7 but then never got round to it ~

Then memebox announced that they had a global version but I think when it was first launched it was only within the USA if I am correct or maybe I just misunderstood ~ then I found out that they shipped worldwide and wanted to give it a shot ~ I bought two boxes, the thumbs up beauty box and also the sleeping beauty memebox which hasn't been shipped out yet ~



I have heard that although all the products are Korean in the worldwide version but they are different from the Korean version which I am fine about since I didn't mind exploring new brands ~

Unlike birchbox, glossybox and etc THIS IS NOT A MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION BOX!! you purely pay the price of one box and that's it and they have many different boxes for you to choose from ~

The shipping I would say was fast actually ~ it was shipped out on the 16th September and arrived on the 24th September in the UK and I paid for standard shipping too O_O but that's a good thing since I don't have to wait forever 

Cute Hot Pink Box GAHHHHHHH SOOOO CUTEEEE ~ <3
Everything is so neatly packed in the box ^^ ~ not messy at all <3
Overview of what's inside kekeke ~ <3


must I say I LOVE THE COLOUR OF THE BOX, yes I am a sucker for pink but this hot pink is so attention grabbing and cute at the same time ~

The superbox claims to have all full sized products so no sample sizes (but honestly I like sample sizes more so if I don't like a product I can use it up quicker) and the products within this box has been voted by people of previous memebox customers of the products they want to appear and see again in their beauty box... since I was never a customer before I decided to give this one a shot anyways XD




1) Hope Girl 3D Powder Blusher #01 Sexy Rose 5g

Product description:
This easy to use blusher creates a subdued polish finish that creates a more 3 dimensional face shape for the look of a sharper jaw line and smaller sized face. Allantonin and vitamin E derivatives protect your skin against external irritation and keep skin glowing and healthy.

How to use:
Apply it to the skin with a gentle light touch using the built in puff attached to the case

The packaging of this product feels cheap but hey it still looks cute though O_O ~ However although the product looks really pretty in the pan when you actually apply it onto the skin it has a lot of shimmer or should I actually say GLITTER... now I don't mind shimmer or glitters but the glitters are literally all over the blusher and are quite visible too... I prefer a sheen or a matte blush so unfortunately I don't think me and this would get on very well (though I haven't actually tested it out on my skin yet)






2) Kocostar Nail Therapy 4g x 2 each

Product description:
The Kocostar Nair Therapy was created to provide simple solution to maintain healthy looking nails. This product took great measures to prevent the nail essence from drying off, and we developed nail globes to prevent any contact with surrounding air. It will allow nails to deeply absorb all the nutrients, resulting in softened cuticles and strengthened nails

How to use:
Wear the nail therapy masks over each of your finger and rest for 30-60 minutes for best results

I am not huge into nails, I must say I am blessed with quite healthy and strong nails that grow long without breaking off, but there are times especially during winter where I would get rough and dry skin and I think this would come into handy when those times comes ~ when my cuticles are feeling rough I will try this and do a review



3) Real Beauty Serum 50ml
Randomly selected from A. Morning Dew Bamboo Serum (Green), B. Ultra Waterful Serum (White), C. Moist Soothing Rose Serum (Pink), D. Bouncy Firming Serum (Yellow)

Product description:
Made from various organic ingredients such as aloe vera, green tea, bamboo water and bulgarian rose water, this all-natural serum will put an end to your troubles over dry, lusterless, sensitive and saggy skin. This serum is very special because it's actually made from collaboration with Real Beauty's fans, and thus it's greatly prized for containing only the most gentle and most vital nutrients beneficial to your skin!

How to use:
Pump out 2-3 times and apply the serum from the inner face towards the outer contours of your face. Gently pat it in for better absorbance.

If you haven't guessed from my hauls and reviews I am a complete skincare junkie, though I love makeup too because of the pretty colours I love trying skin care way more since if you don't have nice skin no foundation, BB cream, CC cream and etc will save it to be honest ~ I received B. Ultra waterful serum and though I don't have dry skin I am looking forward to trying this out once I finish my Laneige water bank essence


*IMAGE MISSING FROM CAMERA ~ I WILL TAKE ANOTHER ONE & FILL IN THIS SPOT HOPEFULLY BY TOMORROW T_T* SORRY IT'S QUITE LATE IN THE UK RIGHT NOW... PAST MIDNIGHT AND THE IMAGES WON'T TURN OUT AS CLEAR AND NICE ~ APOLOGIES!!! BUT I WANTED TO POST THIS UP BEFORE I SLEEP ~

4) Rivercombe Sebum Control Convenient Compact 8g

Product description:
Touch up anytime with this Sebum Control Convenient Compact specially designed to mattify oily skin and control oil slicks throughout the day. This compact instantly mattifies with results that last for up to 8 hours, revealing a natural, flawless complextion with zero shine all day long. It also reduces the appearance of fine lines and blemishes, and gives you a perfectly smooth complexion.
How to use:
Lightly tap puff onto the compact. Apply over the entire face for a matte finish
Because I have oily/combination skin I always tend to set my makeup with powder around the T-zone, chin and hairline and sometimes even all over depending on how my skin feels, though I do have quite a lot of powders (including powder foundations) I am looking forward to seeing how this perform, I swatched it on my hand and it feels really soft, it reminds me of the Innisfree No Sebum Compact but this has colour in it... I am currently using my Urban Decay Naked skin loose powder and I love that but we will see if this compares to that




5) O& Soap Berry Cleanser 100ml

Product description:
A foaming cleanser with frothy, fine and creamy foam with Soap Berry known for it's natural cleansing property and carbonated water to gently cleanse the impurities and makeups and to reveal your natural luminosity on your skin.

How to use:
Apply evenly to face and neck, massage, and rinse off with warm water

The packaging reminds me a lot of The body shop stuff... or is it just me? anyways that's not the point ~ I have yet to try this out yet but from the sounds of this it just sounds like a regular cleanser anyways, I am not fussed about cleansers as long as they clean the skin well XD This is probably the one product I am least happy about being in here but we never know




6) Miguhara B.P Cream 30ml
Product description:
This dual-function cream serves both as a BB cream as well as a primer. It keeps skin silky and even-toned, while controlling excessive sebum through its oil free formula.

How to use:
Apply all over the face, especially over any visible pores

Again I have only tried this on the back of my hand so I am not sure how well it covers pores but judging from the hand application I am liking this... I think the coverage would be light though but it dries fast into a powdery finish and isn't sticky at all, usually when I try out foundations or BB creams I test them on the back of my hand first and they would be thick and creamy which can be sticky but that's not the case for this one... I am probably most looking forward to trying this out because I have quite visible pores so anything that would help cover them I am up for it hahah! 




7) Herbclinic Rice Bran Powder 80g

Product description:
100% RAW Rice Bran powdered into a product, this Rice Bran Powder pack brings you the best of what Mother Nature has to offer! Mix 1 tsp of rice bran powder with milk or any other liquid/gel type natural ingredient to create a mask pack. It will deliver intense nourishment and instant revival to your skin after a tiring day! You'll be able to feel a visible difference the next morning.

How to use:
Mix up 1 tsp of the rice bran powder with 1 tsp of oatmeal, black bean or brown rice and an adequate amount of milk until the mixture becomes relatively thickened. It's even better if you could use a steam towel to open up all your pores before mask application. Then, apply a skin toner or essence to prevent dehydration and thickly spread the mixture over your face. Rinse off after 15-20 minutes.

This sounds really fun, I have always heard of rice bran powder used in cosmetics especially during the olden times like Joseon Dynasty times haha! But I was always too lazy to buy rice bran powder, I wonder if this is just regular rice bran powder or if it's slightly different
Anyways I will do a review of this surely hahaha and show you all how this works and feels :3


AND THAT IS ALL THE PRODUCTS ^O^ ~ 

Overall Thoughts on Memebox:
I am actually impressed, but then again I think it's probably because I haven't received any other memebox so I am not sure what the star products was before, I saw on instagram and other reviews saying this was disappointing? so I'm guessing they were expecting other products then... But for me I like majority of the stuff and will use and test them out to see if I love anything and report back on these products

I think it's definitely worth the price for all these products, like I said I like samples but sometimes I like to receive full sized items too because it feels like I am getting the most out of what I am paying for ~

I think I will be quite addicted in these boxes... which I hope I won't be because I will be starting university on the 29th September >_< and I will need money for books and things too :( But I want to try more of these boxes

If you like more famous mainstream Korean brands you will most likely not like this box much, since I haven't heard of any of these brand names before, but if your like me and like to explore and try new stuff then memebox will be perfect for you, but don't worry memebox also do featured brands which are more well known like Tony Moly, Etude House and Holika Holika :)


In the meantimes, take care <3 ~
