Memebox special #11 Cacao

Two of my absolute favourite things are beauty and chocolate, so when Memebox emailed to say they were sending me the Cacao Cosmetics box* I was over the moon, as I probably would have brought it for myself anyway. If you don't know the drill already, Memebox are a beauty box service who ship directly from Korea to 44 countries around the world. They're not a subscription service meaning you simply pick the boxes you wish to receive. Prices range in value with the average box being under $30.

As I've mentioned, this time I was lucky enough the sent the Superbox #11 Cacao Cosmetics, and its quite possibly my favourite Memebox yet!. Filled to the brim with six full sized products, The Cacao Cosmetics box retails at just $23 (£13.70) and contains a amazing $81 worth of products!

Etude House Milk Talk ($7.00/200ml) - I feel like committed some kind of blogger crime in never trying an Etude House product before, I hear so much about their products from the community and am excited to try something from the brand for myself! This is basically a body wash/bath milk which smells just like chocolate milkshake! I used it in a bath yesterday and it left the whole room smelling of chocolate - heaven! The packaging is also super cute, I think even after I'm finished this I'll have to keep it proudly on display!

WondeRuci Cacao Brightening Mask ($38/100g) - This Cacao brightening mask smells (and looks a bit) like brownie mix! It comes packed in the most beautiful looking pot, ensuring that it's easy to get to every last bit of product. I used this on my skin last night and found that it really helped to brighten up my face, it also left my skin feeling lovely and smooth too! This is pretty sticky so I would recommend using an old foundation brush to apply, not only will it make the mask mess free, you'll be able to get a super easy application too! Incase your wondering below is what the mask looks like inside.

Pure Smile Essence Mask Chocolate Milk ($1/23ml) - This is a chocolate scented sheet mask which claims to be rich in milk protein nutrients, cacao extracts, vitamin E and collagen. I haven't used a sheet mask yet so am really excited to try, as it claims to hydrate and smooth out uneven skin texture! 

Eva Vitamin Cleansing Dessert Magic cream soap Coconut & Cacao ($18/130G)- I know I've already said it but I'm loving the packaging of everything in this box, everything is either really expensive looking or really cute like this magic cream soap which you can see in the first image. I've never come across anything like this cleanser before, as you can see above it has a mouse like texture which claims to reach deeply into your pores leaving your face clean and smooth. I look forward to putting this to work once I've finished my current cleanser!

Pure Smile Choosy Lip Scrub ($11/25g) - I've had a couple of choosy products in past boxes so I'm excited to try more from the brand. This lip scrub contains; sugar, cacao extracts, bees wax, shea butter, jojoba oil, macadamia oil and claims to remove dead skin, nourish deeply and add extra luster to your dry chapped lips

Purederm Nose Pore 6 strips Choco Cacao ($6) - I've used nose strips before, but never scented ones so I'm interested to see how there work. There are six in this box, so they should last me a good while too!

So there you have it, everything in my favourite Memebox yet! I just think this would make a perfect gift for anyone as chocolate obessed as I am! Sadly I've just Looked at this box appears to be sold out! Although there's tones of new boxes to look at here! Have you tried memebox yet?!

Memebox Scentbox #3

Sometimes I cant help but find myself utterly disappointed with some of the beauty boxes on offer in the UK, So when Korean based brand Memebox got in touch to tell me about their beauty boxes I jumped at the chance to try one! Memebox offer an amazing range of boxes which you can see here, ranging in both price and themes. Unlike other beauty boxes, they aren't a rolling subscription service meaning there are no commitments and you can buy the boxes as you please.

I was sent the scentbox #3* filled with a selection of grapefruit themed products to try. I believe the this is one of three scentbox's Memebox offer along with rose and baby powder. They retail at just $15 (£8.76) plus delivery which I'm sure you'll agree is amazing value when you've seen the contents of the box!

 While I'm sure many would assume delivery would be a lengthy process, My Memebox was sent from Korea on Wednesday and was in the UK ready to be delivered by Friday! Sadly I missed my DHL man, so didn't end up getting this to the week after, although I still think in the grand scheme of things this is pretty speedy going considering how far this box had travelled. I loved that you get a tracking number so you know where you box is every step of the way. Although it's not just the uk that Memebox deliver to, in fact memebox is available to an impressive 45 countries directly from Korea.

One of the things I loved most about this box is this handy double sided card which explains which each product is and how to use it. Every single product in this box is full sized, something unheard of with a lot of UK based beauty boxes!

Evas Mimi Lauryne's Dress Perfume Mist de grapefruit ($18.00/150ml) - This is a really lovely grapefruit scented room spray which I've been pretty addicted to since opening this box! It comes in a lovely looking bottle and its a decent amount too.

Karl28 Sunkilling Grapefruit Gel ($30.00/270ml) - This next product retails at double the amount of the box cost meaning you're really getting your moneys worth! It's like Memebox were reading my mind with this one, as the day before I received my this in my Memebox I got really badly sun burnt, after a few days with this my sunburn had disappeared, best of all I used the tiniest amount so I have a feeling this bottle will get me through the whole summer!

Sun Smile Hydro Gel Choosy Fruit ($2 per mask) - Korea is known for its innovative products, so I was super excited to receive these lip marks as I haven't seen anything like this in the UK. I'm really looking forward to putting these to the test and seeing if I can actually last that long with these on! ( The card recommends wearing them for 10-15 minutes)

Happy Fam Deo Fresh Grapefruit ($2/20 wipes) - While these deo wipes are a more practical item, I personally think they're a great idea as they're lightweight and really ideal for travelling! I also think $2 is a really great price point!
