I am back for a review of my first MEMEBOX. I have purchased the Innisfree box (ORIGINAL PRICE: $30) which I got on sale for $25. There was shipping but I used my memepoints and a online coupon so it came to be around $26 dollars in total.
Any-whoo, I will begin with the shipping:
The shipping was Priority 2-day mail and in total, the package came exactly 1 week from the day I ordered it! I am incredibly happy with the shipping. The only thing I was a bit put off by was solely the UPS guys fault. He did not ring the bell and just left my package by the garage.
Onto the inside and the contents!
This box contains 6 items:
-Innisfree Green Tea Mineral Mist (50 mL)~$10
-Innisree Jeju Fig Hand Cream (30 mL)~$5
-Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Steam Towel~$8
-Innisfree Capsule Recipe Pack - Jeju Volcano (10 mL)~$3
-Innisfree Eco Nail Cuticle Remover Pen (20 mL)~$8
-Innisfree Eco Finger Mask Shea Butter and Argan Oil (7.5 g)~$5
That is a decent amount of items in the box!
Now I will review each product one by one starting with the Green Tea Mineral Mist:
The actual mineral mist, I have mixed feelings about. I will be completely honest here. I don't think that the mist does much for me. Personally, when I tried it out (which I used after washing my face and before going to bed) sure my face feels cooler and a bit more moisturized but, it doesn't last too long. I would give it about 30 minutes to an hour of feeling moisturized. Maybe I am being ignorant?
But just to show off to my friends, I would carry this around in my bag and spray my face when I do think I am feeling too warm.
Overall, I would give this product a 3 out of 5.
Next, I tried the Volcanic Steam Towel
Straight off the bat, I'll just rate this a 4 out of 5. Why? Well, cause it does what it says it would do? I guess? It's a face steam towel and it steamed my face which is it doing its job. The only downside to this was that the warmth and the steam did not last that long... But then again, I've only used this towel once.
The instruction photo below was on the MEME BOX website:
Onwards my friends to the next product: The Capsule Recipe Pack - Jeju Volcano
This was the most disappointing product. I remember reading online that this was only a capsule and was only about $3 on the website but I was still a bit put off by the idea of it being small. Never less, after steaming my face and washing my face with my Neutrogena Blackhead Eliminating Daily Scrub, I applied the mask on my checks, t-zone, nose and chin. Just like the directions said to, I rubbed the mask onto my face for two minutes and then waited 15 minutes. After that I washed it off and finished off by splashing cold water on my face. I look in the mirror for even the smallest difference but see none.
I haven't read any reviews before this in case it would influence me somehow. This way I can be honest and speak what's on my mind. I think maybe if I use this one more or two more times this week, I may see a little result but besides this small hope, I see nothing too special about this.
I rate this... 2 out of 5.
Okay, so the next thing I tried was the Eco Finger Mask Shea Butter & Argan Oil thingy.
All I can say is praise about this. Not only is this fun for sleepovers and just a "fix me up" day but this actually, GENUINELY makes my fingers and finger nails soft and healthier. No lies.
I had just removed my nail polish with a strong nail polish remover the morning I tried this product and it had left my nails feeling gross and dry. However, flash forwards to me receiving my MEME BOX and to me using this finger mask and voila! Soft Soft SOFT fingers and nails.
I can definitely see myself buying this in the future. So impressed with this so I rate this a 5 out of 5.
The product I used after the Eco Finger Mask SHea Butter & Argan Oil is the Eco Nail Cuticle Remover Pen.
The directions are simple:
I guess they wanted you to purchase the Innisfree Cuticle Remover to soften the cuticles but the Eco finger masks work just fine. In fact, I am sure that you can use any oil onto your nails. But anyways, I really like how this actually has more oil in the pen that comes out as you push the cuticles to remove them. There's nothing much to say but a 5 out of 5 cause this does its job pretty well and didn't disappoint me yet.
Lastly, I tried the Jeju Fig Hand Cream.
Oh my Lordy, the smell of this is wonderful. I absolutely loveeee this hand cream. I now bring it everywhere I go, The packaging is the most adorable and oh my goodness... Have I mentioned the smell of figs is just so light and heavenly???
Not only does this lotion smell great and look cute (and is most definitely portable) but guess what? It does it's job! My hands feels so moisturized after applying this!
Even my grandmother likes the smell and the feeling of her hands after applying this.
This receives a 5 out of 5 from Granny Lim and me!
So, this is the end of my first MEME BOX review... For somethings, I think to myself, "Well, I could have gone to Korea with my family and bought this item for so much cheaper" and "Wow, I kinda feel like I wasted some of my money" but then there were some amazing products that makes me think "Yup, this is going to stay in my purse from now on".
Wow, I feel as if as I were on an emotional roller-coaster.
Well, until next time? Byeeee
