Memebox First Box of the Year Night Care

Memebox came out with the first box of the year Night Care in early January and after seeing two spoilers for it.  I bought it! I really wanted to get the gel eye patch and I needed  back up for my sleeping pack so that's win-win! this box cost $29.00 plus $6.99 shipping and handling.  and I used most of my points for this box so I didn't need to spend anything on it! :) I feel like that's the best way to use the memepoints because if I were to purchase one of the items in the USA shop i would spent like $20 for one product with shipping unless I pick something from the free shipping section.  Lately, Memebox has value sets which are pretty nice and free shipping so maybe those will be my next purchase.  I haven't bought much from Memebox lately because of the discounts that we get now and also I have lots of back ups now and need to use them all before making another purchase.  if you are interested in buying yourself a box of night care, it is sold out at the moment but i will update my title for this blog if its back in stock or any changes for this box.  Click Here for the info card for this box.

 This box just look full of products and fun stuff to use too! :)  the masks from this box is by far the most I've gotten in a box.  and its not for face either! I've been wanting to try a foot mask and read many reviews of how great they are so I am happy to get one finally.

2015/01/img_1113.jpg

This 3-steps blackhead treatment looks pretty fun! just hope this works better than the nose strips that I got twice already previously from Memebox.

2015/01/img_1114.jpg

SWITCH PATCH Elephant 3-Step! Black Head Nose Pack 7g Full size product: 7g ($3) Product Description This is an easy 3-step nose pack for opening up, unclogging, and tightening back your pores for treating excess blackheads on the nose. The step 1 is a cotton mask sheet enriched with witch hazel water, lemon balm extracts, and grapefruit extracts and works to melt and extract the excess blackhead and sebum. The step 2 is a peel-off type nose pack made from lemon extracts and aloe vera leaf water. Lastly, the step 3 bio-cellulose mask sheet stretches out 8cm and effectively soothes and firms back the enlarged pores with a gentle blend of lavender, chamomile, and eucalyptus extracts.

How to use Place the step 1 sheet over clean nose and remove after 15~20 minutes. Wet nose with a little bit of water and place the step 2 sheet over. Remove after 10~15 minutes. Then again place the step 3 sheet over nose and remove after 5~10 minutes.

This pony tail treatment pack looks like a pouch that holds your pony tail in and filled with conditioner.  but looks good for dry ends I think,

2015/01/img_1115.jpg

 Pony Tail Silky Treatment Pack 8g

Product Description Experience hair salon results at home with a rich blend of pito collagen, bean protein, silk protein, botanical plus-10, argan oil, olive oil, shea butter, and royal jelly. This hair treatment pack is easy to wear with no need to rinse off afterwards and most importantly deeply nourishes, softens, and strengthens your hair dehydrated and damaged from all those years of blow-drying and hair dyes.

How to use Tie up your hair into a high pony tail and place the pony tail into the hair pack, fastening the opening with the provided hair elastic to hold it in place. Gently massage to facilitate absorption of nutrients. Take off the pack after 5~30 minutes.

oooooh! nail care mask! heheh I can definitely use these now due to the dry winter season here.

2015/01/img_1116.jpg

Intensive Nail Pack 4.5g Product Description This Intensive Nail Pack is made with cacao seed butter, milk protein, hydrolyzed bean protein, hydrolyzed collagen, honey, macadamia oil, and more naturally derived ingredients for delivering intensive moisture resurge and rich nourishment to dry, cracked nails.

How to use Wash hands thoroughly. Separate the nail pack into 10 smaller packs and wear them over each finger. Remove after 15~20 minutes.

Hand mask? not sure what makes these different than the nail care hmmmm...but I think I might rather get the whole hand done than just the nails.

2015/01/img_1117.jpg

 Camellia Special Care Hand Mask 16g

Product Description This is a pair of replenishing hand masks formulated from a nourishing blend of camellia extracts, collagen, vitamin E, argan oil, and natural herbal complex. They’re easy to wear and leave dry, rough hands significantly softer and suppler.

How to use Wash hands thoroughly. Separate the hand mask along the dotted line and wear each on each hand. Gently massage both hands together. Remove after 15~20 minutes.

the most exciting out of all the masks is this foot one! I read that within a couple of weeks the skin on your foot will start peeling off and the dead skin just falls off.  this might be easier to use during summer time so I can just wear flip flops and let the dead skin fly away outside not inside the houe! 

2015/01/img_1118.jpg

Shea Butter Special Care Foot Mask 16g Product Description This is a deeply moisturizing foot mask enriched with shea butter, macadamia oil, vitamin E, and fresh herbal complex to replenish and soften dry, calloused skin on your foot. Its gentle formula is free of paraben, benzophenone, artificial pigment, etc.

How to use Wash both feet thoroughly. Separate the foot mask along the dotted line and wear each on each foot, fastening with the provided sticker. It’s recommended to massage the feet to facilitate absorption of nutrients. Remove after 15~20 minutes.

I got a Tosowoong toner mist in my 1st anniversary box in bee AC control and good thing I got an essence this time.  never tried any snail products so hopefully I will like it.

2015/01/img_1119.jpg

TOSOWOONG Natural Pure Snail Essence 60ml Full size product: 60ml ($24) Product Description With its formula consisting 20% of pure snail mucin filtrates and 40% of fresh birch tree leaf water, this Natural Pure Snail Essence from Tosowoong is a miracle worker for skin brightening and anti-wrinkle results. It not only moisturizes and firms up dry, sagging skin but also helps fight all sorts of skin problems – acne, blemishes, uneven moisture & oil balance, etc.

How to use Apply the essence over your face after toner application. Gently pat it in for full absorbance. Follow with emulsion and/or cream.

I needed a new eye cream so this is perfect!!! I learned that no product will erase the dark eyes and products can only help keep it from getting worst and i need to continue to use it before its too late.  same with wrinkles its best to start young to keep the skin healthy and glowing before the naked eyes can spot any lines. 2015/01/img_1120.jpg

D’RAN Wonder Lifting Eye Cream 25g Full size product: 25g ($35) Product Description This Wonder Lifting Eye Cream from D’Ran will brighten and firm up the dry, thin skin around your eyes. Enriched with a moisturizing blend of beta glucan, macadamia see oil, argan oil, jojoba seed oil, and EGF, it gently protects the sensitive skin while replenishing and balancing out the skin tone from within.

How to use Apply the eye cream gently using your ring finger.

I love using my current sleeping pack and needed a back up so this came in time! so I didn't want to open it yet.  

2015/01/img_1126.jpg

HEART FACE Ultra Pore Care Sleeping Pack 100ml

Product Description Carefully formulated through the science of fermentation, this Ultra Pore Care Sleeping Pack carries 100% concentrated ferments from galactomyces and natural herbal complex, hyaluronic acid, and aloe vera to deeply nourish and rejuvenate the skin overnight to reveal suppler, firmer skin. The non-sticky formula absorbs quickly and smoothly and also helps treat acne prone skin.

How to use Apply the sleeping pack generously over the face as the last step to night time skin care.

 My most wanted product! the gel eye patch! I saw one on Memebox website and wanted to purchase but it was too pricey.  so i'm soooo glad this was in the spoiler for this box and I had to get it! 

2015/01/img_1121.jpg

Teavana Travel Tumbler

image

Free Shipping Sitewide this weekend only at Teavana.com! Use Code: WINTERWKND (Valid 1/23 - 1/25, no restrictions)

I received this as part of my Christmas gifts and it is a really amazing thermos.  I prefer to drink tea over coffee and this is perfect for loose leaf tea.  It has a filter compartment attached to it that can detach for washing.  I did a test and it kept my tea hot for over 6 hrs with steam and warm for overnight! I poured hot water in it with just loose black tea and left it overnight and checked it next morning approximately 12hrs later and it was warm like warmer than warm.  Its not luke warm but warm for drinking.  it didn't have any steam coming out but still very good.

it has a total of 4 parts and all washable.  unfortunately Teavana does not have this design anymore since it was seasonal but they do have other bottle that is the same.  I imagine this will probably keep coffee hot as well but you know what I think? it is better to keep it at strictly a tea bottle or coffee as they do stain and coffee leaves a smell behind that's hard to rid of.  I've tried vinegar and it does help a bit but the container isn't the same once its been stored for coffee so I highly suggest that keeping it tea only to keep it clean and free from other aroma.

Teavana Oprah Chai Tea

over the holiday I came across this Teavana Oprah Chai Tea and it full of flavor which made a must for holiday drinks.

Youthberry White Tea is a really good choice for Valentine's Day tea in my opinion.  Look at it! Roses, pineapple, and berries! This is such a pretty tea and it taste delicious!

3B Box January 2015 Review

I have finally got my 3B Box! 3B stands for Beauty Beyond Borders and it is a brand new subscription box that just started last month.  if you want to read my review of December Box click here This is a $12 a month for 4 to 5 deluxe sample size beauty products from Japan, Korea and Taiwan.  Please check out their website for more details.  https://the3bbox.com 

2015/01/img_1040.jpg

This is the January box with 5 wonderful items in details on a card.

1.  Heroine Make Volume & Curl Mascara: Enjoy a full-size version of our all-time favorite waterproof Japanese mascara.  This mascara does wonders to instantly increase the thickness and length of your lashes.  Expert tip: Remove with an oil-based waterproof eye makeup remover.  Hold a cotton pad over lashes for 30 seconds to loosen the mascara and gently wipe off

New-Heroine-Make-Volume-and-Curl-Mascara-Super-WP-Black-6g-from-Japan

Found the above photo on amazon.com and it is listed for $14.70 with free shipping.  and on ebay it range from $12-22 dollars.  so this is a pretty pricey mascara and the reviews are good so i am excited to give this a try.

2.  Tony Moly Peach Hand Cream: You won't believe how good this hand cream smells.  A Korean nourishing and moisturizing hand cream enriched with peach and apricot extracts for instantly softer, smoother hands.  Massage into skin for best results.

TonyMoly Peach Cream

This is the product that I am most happy about because it is just so darn cute! and it does smell delicious like the white peaches from the summer time.  this is about $6 on amazon.com with free shipping or about $4-7 on ebay but average of $2.50 shipping and handling.

3.  Nature Republic Flower Jelly Drop Gloss:  Reminiscent of delicious fruit, this lip gloss is refreshing and beautiful on the lips.  Pair on top of your favorite lipstick or wear alone for a natural shine.

[NATURE REPUBLIC] By Flower Jelly Drop Gloss - 10g No.06 Jelly Pomegranate

picture taken from RoseRoseshop.com and it is about $2.34

4.  Laneige Firming Sleeping Pack: A Korean staple, the Laneige Firming Sleeping Pack is a supple and resilient mask that restores skin's firmness while you sleep.  After cleansing, toning, and moisturizing, gently spread Laneige Firming Sleeping Pack all over your face.  Leave product on during the night and wash off in the morning.  For best results use 1-2 times a week.

This is a super tiny sample maybe i'll get 2 uses out of it and from my past Target box had a real sample size of this and it is a nice product.  Because of the size of the sample, I just don't think there's a price for it.

5.  My Beauty Diary Hyaluronic Acid Mask: Suitable for all skin types, this Taiwanese mask is amazing for restoring intense moisture to the skin and sealing it in.  After cleansing and tong, place the sheet mask on your face for 20-30 minutes and remove .  For best results, use 2-3 times per week.  Keep your skin healthy, glowing, and soft with this sheet mask.

you can actually order these mask from walmart.com!!! it is sold in a box of 10pcs for $12.48 so it is about $1.25 a piece.  I have tried this brand before and it is nice and moist.  So I am happy to have it and know I will use it.   

There's no prices listed on the card for the products.  so from I can find online this month's box has a value of about $24! in my opinion it is worth the $12 and am happy to have found this subscription because I do like Asian beauty products a lot probably because of the packaging :) My favorite item is of course the Tony Moly Peach Hand Cream!

What's your favorite Eye Shadow Primer?!

I am in need of a new eye primer and below are what I have tried and my likes and dislikes. I have tried the Estee Lauder, Urban Decay and e.l.f brand. 2015/01/img_1037.jpg2015/01/img_1038.jpg Here's a link for the Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place EyeShadow Base from Nordstrom.  it is $17 on the higher end but this was a pretty decent product even tho it doesn't look like I have used much of it hahaha I got it and then misplaced it somewhere in the room and couldn't find it.  Also, its in a pot form and harder to use and feels like I was containing the whole thing whenever I use my finger to get more product.  it does stay in place and really let the eye shadow pop tho.  I just wish it had an easier applicator with it to use it with.  Also, it makes the product dried out too like the gel eye liner pots, i noticed these type of container dries faster. Next up was the Urban Decay eye shadow primer its $20 from its website for .37oz or at Sephora for .2oz at $12.  Mine was the older packaging of this product and I wanted to try it with a wand and it was the best thing out there.  made it easy to apply just dab it onto the lids and just finger to rub it around.  I used this one up quick so I was like I need to get something for the days that I don't need such a good primer because these things are cheap. so I got the e.l.f. for days that i just don't care. image e.l.f. Eyelid Primer that I got was from Target for a dollar! yes a dollar!!! and it was the nicest one you can get for just a dollar!   it did a great job of keeping eye shadow in place and doesn't have that weird tacky feel of it too.  it has a wand applicator so that's a plus. so which eyeshadow primer should I get next? or do you know a way to bring a dried up one back to life? I would like to try a new brand and keeping my option open if not UD will be my choice again plus sephora is just a fun store to go to :)
