Fermented Cosmetics 2

I could not wait to get home to my Fermented Cosmetics 2 box from Memebox.  If you are not familiar with Memebox following the link for a great breakdown of what they have to offer.  I ripped open the box as soon as I got home.  It was a Superbox which means all FULL SIZED products.  This box was initially supposed to come with 7 products, but about a month or so before it shipped.  Memebox sent an email about the spoiler they had posted about it expiring in 10 months and are throwing in 1 extra product to make up for this.
The box comes with a card that has all the names of the products, prices, pictures and directions.



First item I noticed was in the black pouches with the cute little Panda in the front.  There is actually a list of ingredients in english.  It is the Cotterang Panda Eye Essence Mask 3ml valued at $9.00.  The directions say to place the eye masks under your eyes and rest for 20-30 minutes, and to store them in a refrigerator for better results.  In the refrigerator they go!  I can't wait to try these I just love the cute little panda on the package.  Looks like Tony Moly has something like this also Panda themed through lighting in the box. Amazon also has the Tony Moly eye patch for sale.

  
The next item I see is the Dermahouse Galactomyces Wrinkle Care Essemce mask 30ml valued at $2.00. There are also some english directions on the packaging as well as the Memebox card.  It says it is made specifically for sensitive skin.  This is an anti wrinkle mask which contains hyaluronic acid, Vitamin C, anti wrinkle complex, and Galactomyces.  I can't wait to see if this will really tighten and brighten up my skin. I will be trying this next week!


The SOYBIO+ Fermented Soap 80g valued at $42.00.  Really that much for face soap?  I say that is a lot for a bar of soap.  I had to do my research of course and found one on Amazon for $69.00 and was fermented for one year.  I am really excited to start using this as soon as I finish up my sample size one from my Petit Vour subscription.  I have been using a fermented toner which I got from the first fermented memebox and my skin loves it!    I have such huge pores and this is supposed to penetrate my clogged pores and cleanse away all dead skin cells and impurities.


  
The spolier that was revealed by Memebox was the Dran Wonder Serum 30ml.  The value is $42.00 this was the product I received an email about it expiring in 10 months.  I am still happy they put this in the box and added even an extra product.  It smells like flowery perfume.  I actually love this smell.  It does have a thicker consistency than other serums I have used.  A little does go a long way and after it dries my hand was a little tacky.  I can understand why Membox sent an extra item.  This serum can last me a very long time.
  


Face calming Galactomyces Cream 30ml for $19.00 by The Skin House.  This moisturizer I will save for the winter when my skin is really dry.  The lotion is a creamy pink color.




The 6th product in the box is the Time Shift Toner 120ml from Tosowoong.  I love that this is a full sized product.  Memebox has this item valued at $34.00.  I found it on Amazon for 29.90 plus $2.99 shipping sold directly from Tosowoong.  Ends up being $1.00 cheaper on Amazon and probably a lot faster shipping.   Wishtrend also carries this product for $31.99 plus shipping.

This is the 3rd item I have received from Memebox containing snail mucus extracts.  Curious about the snail mucus read here.  I am not to keen on the smell of this product.  I don't know what it is but smells a little like medicine.  I will have to look up the ingredients in this product before I put it on my face.


The 7th item is the Aesthetic Reparative-K Cream 20g cost is $43.00 by Cotterang.  This is to calm reddened sensitive skin by creating a protective layer on top and creating skin regeneration.  I don't think I will get much use for this item.  I am going to add it to the pile for a giveaway at a later date.


Another product I am still not sure I need this is the Cycle Repair Whitening Spot 15ml for $24.00.  When I opened the box on the tube it say's 5th edition.  It is a whitening spot cream with fermented extracts and hyaluronic acids.  This is for lines and wrinkles which thankfully I don't quite have a problem with yet, but maybe will use to avoid getting them.  

This is another one of my favorite Memeboxes just like the Fermented 1 box.  This cost of this box was $32.00 plus the $6.99 for shipping.  The total value of the box $215.00 I would say I definitely got my money worth.  I think the fermented boxes are my absolute favorite themed box.  Please make a 3rd one Memebox!

Memebox #27 Diet Box Unboxing

I have been stalking DHL and kept looking out the window hoping to see the DHL truck.  Of course they would come as soon as I stepped out.  I left a signature for them to leave the package.  I ordered the Diet Box as a bundle with the Pore Care 3 (blog to follow).  Both boxes are sold out right now, maybe they will be re-stocked in the future.  You can check here.


How exciting here we go the first product is the Slim Fit Sparkling Shot 98G by LG Health Care.  FULL SIZE valued at $7.  There are 14 little sleeves in the box.



You just drop the contents of the sleeve into a glass of water and drink it once a day.  It does suggest to use as part of an appropriate exercise or workout.  It has a grapefruit flavor and there is enough to use this for 2 whole weeks.  Hopefully I will be able to tell if it helped in 2 weeks.  It has Vitamins B, C, cranberry powder, and chicory extracts powder.  I will definitely  further investigate the full list of ingredients before ingesting.

The 2nd item is the Purederm Miracle Body shaping treatment they came with 2 and says the value is $5.00 each.


You apply the gel over the patch and put the patch over your arms, thighs, back or wherever else you wish.  You leave it on for 15-20 minutes.  The information card says it is made from patented complex bodyfit which has proven to be highly effective in breaking down excess cellulite and prevents body fat build up.  Very interesting I think I will try this tonight!

The next product also FULL SIZE is the Dermahouse Lifting Shape Up Hot Gel 200ml cost is $34.00.  You just massage the gel over areas with enough body fat like the thighs or abdomen.  The card suggests to do this after a shower.  Start off using a small amount then gradually increase little by little.



The information card says that is has caffeine, coffee extracts, hot pepper extracts, mate leaf extracts, and vanillyl butyl ether formula.  the heat breaks down the formation of cellulite.

The 4th product is a Frozen Body Ggong Gel made by KepaClub.  Another FULL SIZE product with a value of $16.00.  

This item you have to keep in the freezer yikes I don't like the cold.  It does not freeze.  You squeeze out the gel on arms, thighs, back, abdomen, or waists and massage into your skin.  After you place the icy cold gel tube over the same area your applied the gel for a couple of minutes.  Very curious to look into the ingredients for this.  This gel helps to break down and target our white fat cells and prevent buildup.

Turning over the card I have the SXM 1 Value Body Ampoule 7ml.  It is a tiny bottle but say's that it is a full size.  Suggested vcalue is $5.00.

As you can see the directions are very easy but number of use is 3-10 times that is an odd difference.  I don't know if I will get to see any results with 3 uses.

6th item is the Massage Roller value for $6.00 I was confused when I opened the box and this was the first item I noticed.  Your to use this with a lifting cream over thighs, stomach, arms, legs and roll downwards with roller.  

The final item which I had a hunch would be in the box since I have seen it in the memeshop.  It is Egyptian Diet Soap 10g cost is $18.00. You lather on your body and massage the foam onto your body for 5-10 minutes then rinse off.  

I have never been truly disappointed with a Memebox, and this one does not disappoint either I can't wait to try all these products.  The cost of the box was 29.00 plus 6.99 for shipping.  Like I said earlier I purchased this as a bundle and got expedited shipping it took 3 days.  The value of the box is $113.00 and I paid $32.50 with shipping (I divided the $6.99 between 2 boxes).  What do you think of this box?  Would you order if it was restocked?

Vitamin Care Box


You won't even believe the stalking I do once I receive my tracking number from Memebox.  I finally got my highly anticipated Vitamin Care box box this week, which is still available for purchase here.
Vitamin Care Box

Memebox sends a card with details of each product and directions to use it.



The first item is the Elizavecca Real White Vita-Sauce 30 (50ml) FULL SIZE with a value of $48.00.





Pure Vitamin C with over 30% of the facial ampoule.  It's highly concentrated to provide instant moisture, wrinkle care, and whitening.  It claims to be a skin protection all in one. The directions I found how to use are:
1. Apply after cleansing and toning.  Use 2-3 drops and smooth in gently all over face.  Especially smooth intensively the aged area such as pigmented or wrinkled lesions.
2. Initially, a slight tingling may be experienced.    
3. Mixing with several drops of Vitamin and toner, it makes your skin feel refreshed without being gooey.
4. Apply moisturizer
As soon as I applied it made my face feel sticky.  It is a very thin liquid almost like a water coating mask pack.  It will now supposedly protect my skin.  I will continue to use this for 2 weeks to see if I notice a difference.  I did find something similar on Amazon.  

The second item was the Amini Vitamin Shower Body Soap Bar 120g FULL SIZE value $12.00


I absolutely love the fact that this soap is all natural and organic.  It states it will rejuvenate the skin with it's gentle and replenishing formula consisting of vitamin rich rosehip, lavendar, and peppermint oils.  I can't wait to try this soap!

The third item in my Vitamin Care Box is the one I was least excited about.  Pure Smile Hand Gel Citrus Crash FULL SIZE valued $2.00 


It states that it "keeps your hands germ-free with citrus infused hand gel."  This item was already given to my girlfriend and is in her purse!  I just didn't feel this was an item that should be in a Korean beauty box.  I can buy these everywhere in the U.S.

The 4th item I was a bit more excited about.  It is a Gelee Labo Marmalade FULL SIZE 12g valued at $1.00.

This facial pack has a jelly like texture made from fruits.  It is supposed to moisturize and soften skin after leaving on for 15 minutes.  It has orange extract, hyaluronic acid, centella asiatica, and licorice root extracts.  Excited to try this but might just put it aside till the winter, as my skin tends to get more dry.

The 5th item I was a little hesitant to try is the Lip treatment with mixed fruits 10g FULL SIZE value $5.00.  I found the strawberry lip one from Amazon.
This smells amazing, but is extremely sticky.  I am assuming it's stickiness comes from the Snail as I have heard snail products have a very thick sticky texture.  This will deliver instant hydration and nourishment to dry and chapped lips.  I must say I have to agree I put it on right before bed and woke up to super soft lips.  Who would of thought I would be putting Snail products on my lips, and like it!  I am very happy with this product. This fits well with the theme of Vitamin Care.

The 6th item with a value of $11.00 which the spoiler they released for this box.  Evas Vitamin Sun Cream SPF 38 PA++ FULL SIZE.

I needed this a little earlier in the summer season to prevent the burning at the beach.  I did not buy any since I knew I would be getting this very soon.  I have yet to try it, but I am going to sesame place next week with my cousins and nephew.  Hope it does the trick I can't wait to try!

the 7th and final product are 2 packs of Juicy point pads it's value say's $2.00 I am not sure if it is meant for one or both.

One in Lemon and the other in Orange.  It say's they are made with vitamin E, hyaluronic acid, and collagen components.  You use them for a quick skin emergency for your face or body.  I found more of these on Amazon in Strawberry.  I am going to pass one of these along to my sister to try also.  I don't think I have any use for these at the moment, but will hang on to one pack just to try.

Not bad a total of 7 products with a total value of $81.00.  The cost of the box was $29.00 plus the standard shipping fee of $6.99.  I however only paid $12.99 with the shipping fee.  I had 20 memepoints (which total $20.00) 15 I believe for signing up with them, then they added another 5 to everyone's account, and use a $3.00 off coupon.  This box is currently still available for purchase here.  The value isn't as much as I am use to by Memebox, but there are still a lot of fun products.  Products I probably would never have heard of so I am excited to try everything.  These opinions are my own and this box was paid for by me.
