I received this product for review purposes
Another round of Memebox is here!
Today I'll be focusing on the Memebox Special #43 K-Style 3. Check it out!
This theme is related to the most up to date beauty trends in Korea. The cosmetics has a broad makeup look spectrum that will range from soft and neutral to bold and flashy new looks. Special Edition boxes always come packaged with 4-8 full size products and deluxe samples relating to the theme.
From the looks of it, I could already tell that this is probably not the box for me at all. Just like the previous box I've received, everything was full size! The information card lists all of the products with a "product description" and a "how to use" section. Once again there isn't an ingredient list on neither the product nor information card so I'm too comfortable using these makeup products on my sensitive skin.
Pictured above are the six full sized products I received in my Memebox.
Starting from left to right we have the Secret Kiss Face Fit Strobe Cream ($11), Vella Flower Flower B.B ($26), Color World Jewelish Stick Shadow in Twinkle Green ($13), Style Y Color Fit Creamy Lip & Cheek in Smoothie Pink ($13), Style Y Soft Fit Mix & Match Pencil and Powder Shadow in Brown liner and Peach tip ($9), and the Tonymoly 7 Days Tattoo Eyebrow in Dark Brown ($8).
When I really look at all of the products I received, they didn't seem bad at all. Besides not knowing the ingredients they contain my only other problem was the shades of color of the products themselves. The strobe cream is basically a makeup base/starter and can be used as a highlighter. I typically don't wear foundation anymore and already have a current highlighter that I use mainly for my eyes so I don't think I'll be needing this. The B.B cream was instantly a no for me since I just look at it as a pore clogger (this one however is supposed to minimize the appearance of pores without clogging them), also it's definitely way too light for my skin complexion even though it doesn't exactly have a specific shade listed.
The stick shadow would have been much nicer if it was in a much more attractive color. I'm not the biggest fan of what looks like mossy green to me. Definitely does not compliment my skin tone at all but I do like how smooth and creamy the formula is. The same goes for the creamy lip and cheek. Smoothie pink is a bit too light of a pink for my lips and I can't imagine even putting this on my cheeks.
I thought the idea of the pencil and powder shadow was great. It would have been even better if it was a dual eyeliner instead of a shadow. And last but not least is the tattoo eyebrow. It surely reminds me of a liquid eyeliner but for your eyebrows and not as strong. It definitely failed with my already bushy eyebrows so this is probably better for someone with sparse or thinner eyebrows.
Overall I received $80 worth of products based on the values given on the information card. The box itself only costs $23 so this is really great! Value is never a problem with Memebox I've notice. If you're interested in beauty trends from Asia then this is the company for you. Currently the box I've received is sold out but there are tons more than you can explore on the Memebox website. I also have a coupon code that I'm happy to share with you all to use towards your purchase!
