MEME BOX Innisfree Box

Hellooo
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:

 First off the bat, I liked the packaging. It is simple and reasonable. It gives off a clean look to it and the metal aerosol can helps spray the mist out nicely.
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

Influenster- Vox Box: Reese's Spreads

The day has finally arrived for me to get a voxbox!!! I got my Reese's Spreads today and was so excited to try this product out. Honestly, I love Reese's peanut butter cups and when I saw there was a spread voxbox and I was chosen, guess who freaked out? That's right, I love my food

Look at that! Look at the wonderful peanut buttery chocolately greatness! Not only does it look good, it tastes better. The peanut butter chocolate spread goes so well with some apples and one can just spread this on toast if running late. My rating: 4.5 out of 5. Half a point off because too much of this and it can get a bit overwhelming.

I thank you Influenster for this beautiful product.
My favorite pairing (*image from delightfulemade.com) is this and bananas!

Basic Ulzzang 101: Ulzzang(얼짱) Look

The ulzzang look is a popular look in South Korea where the name "ulzzang" literally translates to "best face". The ulzzang look is all about looking flawless but natural. It is not just the girls who look super feminine-guys tend to lean towards the feminine look as well. Today, I will list the basic steps to looking ulzzang (at least how I would interpret how ulzzang should be).

*Disclaimer! I am using photos courtesy from Google images

Step 1: Perfect your skin the best you can.
Because being ulzzang means having the "best face", people with acne may struggle. Wash your face every morning and night! To achieve clear skin does not mean to apply all the possible treatments onto your face! Depending on skin type, it would be best to get a cleanser that it suitable and to use a toner after. Moisturize! If your skin is still really bad, I suggest maybe making some time to visit a dermatologist. It might be best to have a professional take a look at your skin and diagnose it than asking Google. Trust me, I to this day am still struggling with horrible skin but a little concealer and foundation can really help.

 Look at that flawless skin...

Step 2: Keeping in Shape
You don't have to be a size 0 but even if it isn't all about looks, one should still stay active and fit for their own health. Eat in proportions and avoid junk food. I suggest keeping a budget... but for junk food. Set say, 4 times you will personally allow yourself to eat a snack in 1 month. Try eating in smaller bowls. Eating in smaller bowls will shorten on how much you eat and still make you feel full.

Step 3: Make-Up

Make-up can transform people with no confidence to a radiant shining person. Since this is a basic ulzzang post, I will just explain what make up an ulzzang would normally wear. Of course there is the basic foundation and concealer to hide imperfections but there are quite more steps. The important thing to an ulzzang is to put emphases to the eyes. A basic ulzzang eye makeup would be: 1.Primer; 2. Light, shimmery, dusty gold or perhaps a light rose gold; 3. EYE LINER! Okay, I will pause here and explain about the eyeliner. The eyeliner can really help make an eye look bigger even without circle lens. A basic eyeliner look would probably be a puppy eye look.

 *Once again. not my photo

As you can see, the puppy eye is just simply dragging the eyeliner down (following the natural down of your eye) and fill it lightly in to connect it with a the bottom eye.

Continuing from step 3. Add a highlighting color to the inner corners of the eyes. This again will help the eyes pop and look bigger than it is; 4. A light peachy blush on the apples of the cheek; 5. Gradient lips. This is when it looks darker and more pigmented in the center of the lips but the color slowly fades out.

This is the most basic and probably the most one would do as an ulzzang. Remember, it's mainly about looking cutesy, pretty, but natural. Personally, I wouldn't suggest circle lens... Yeah your eyes look pretty big and can look pretty cute but I think it takes away the natural look away. Also, don't put too much highlighting in the corner of the eyes. It can look pretty ridicules and once again, I think the natural look that is suppose to come with the ulzzang concept would be taken away.

This is just a basic look (though I think this is pretty much the most it gets) and for more inspiration, you can always search online for soompi's ulzzang contest. Who know? One of you guys may get inspired to enter yourself and win.
