Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

[TonyaBeans]

I wish I had purchased Boxing Day #2, because it seems like the perfect tester box. Sometimes with Memebox items, I almost feel guilty when they don't work for me or my skin. It feels like such a waste to toss a full sized product, even if I paid the price of a sample for it. I try to pass them on as much as possible, but I'm a bully with my products and packaging so unless family wants it, they're hard to re-home lol.

Ugh Foot Therapy is probably one of my most-used boxes!

I wish the Mizon foot cream was in it and not in the While You Were Sleeping box, because it's become my holy grail foot cream! I use it every night and it's kept my feet so I don't have to file them/foot peel them constantly. Makes my life so much easier!

I have the same guilt thing with products. I'm trying to use the Ladykin Broccoli cream from the brighten and correct box. Right now I think it's the worst product I've ever gotten in a memebox but yet instead of just getting rid of it I'm trying to figure out if there is some other way I can use it. I would feel guilty even offering it to someone else free for shipping because I don't think it's worth the amount it would cost to ship it (which would be about eleventy billion dollars using Canada Post).

You know what product I am loving as a foot cream right now and I'm almost shocked that I do? That Shara Shara green seed magic balm. I was so annoyed at getting that because of the expiry date, but I'm going to end up using it all up by next week. I actually want more of it.  :blush:

I use this on my elbows and knees and it's awesome for my rough skin there. I haven't tried it on my feet yet though, but maybe I should!

I loved this on my feet! I used it for a week straight and it's almost gone. Great use for it, mine smelled fresh and of limes but there was no way that was going near my face. Bonus of putting it on my feet is that my hands look fab now too! The Glow Glow balm is great on feet too.
Found another great use for tea tree oil, hair stylist said to put a few drops in with gentle shampoo to clean hair and makeup brushes.

Has anyone else tried the Pure Smile Choosy lip pack from CWL4 box? It keeps sliding off my lips if I attempt to sit up so having to lie down with it on. Its not got any taste or smell to it but made my husband laugh as also used those panda under eye masks (that had past their use by date December 2014). Those do have a slight smell - none to pleasant either so only got them on for 5 mins then into the bin with them....just in case.

Determined to start using more of the products in 2015!

Tbh atm I am wondering what to put on some odd body places that are being really affected by my lack of food due to my illness.

Whether to put the revital Magic cream on my earlobes and whether to layer lip balms lol.... I suppose it will help stash issues

Oh my I sound like a wierdo

 

[Alidolly]

Ok...word of warning, do NOT put any of the extra essence from those panda under eye masks on your arms! Thought I'd give my arms / elbows the extra and I've now got really blotchy patches on my arms!! I've washed it off as arms started changing colour within a few minutes but was really quite alarming. Under eyes are fine atm but won't be buying any of those in the future lol!

 

[Jane George]

Was that because they were ood?

 

[Alidolly]

No idea...put the extra essence on the back of my hand but there was still loads so started to rub it into my forearms, after about 3 minutes red blotches started appearing which started getting redder and redder so washed the stuff off. They've calmed down now but was a bit freaky to watch. I do have sensitive skin but hadnt felt any discomfort round the eye area so thought they'd be fine.. Might just be me, but just wanted to warn others who might use these in the next week or so (as they expired back on the 18/12 but are in a sealed satchet)

Wait, is that a Doctor Who reference?

ETA: Ok, maybe I'm slightly obsessed with Doctor Who...

 

[Jane George]

Wait, is that a Dr. Who reference?

Out of date I meant.... I must exterminate with the doctor who misunderstandings though

 

[Alidolly]

Also don't notice any difference to my lips after using the purederm choosy lip mask (is the weirdest material though!) so that's another product I'll not be buying.

What to try tomorrow night I wonder?

 

[Stella Bella]

@Alidolly  Did the redness completely go away after the panda mask incident? Did you experience any redness under the eyes as well?

I posted about these eye patches 2-3 months ago when they were in another Memebox. I had some sort of reaction to them as well. Mine was not so much a skin problem as a respiratory difficulty while the patches were in use on my under eye area. I felt very nauseated and it was unpleasant to breathe due to something in the patches. IDK what, but I definitely had the only bad reaction I've had to a Korean skin product.

I've used all manner of products before and since with no type of adverse reaction, so I can narrow it down to these patches. Of course,  this latest set from some Memebox went straight into the garbage. I'm so sorry they were unhelpful for someone else.

I actually love those eye patches!   No bad reaction from me.

I received 4 Memeboxes this evening--Garden of Eden, Tea Tree, Rose Edition, and Snow White. I managed not to spoil either Garden of Eden or Tea Tree for myself, and I love both of them (especially Garden of Eden)!

I also finally received my shop order that I ordered October 20 and that shipped November 3--1 day short of 2 months ago!

I didn't buy any of the Boxing Day boxes, but I'm a bit envious of #2--it looks like such a good deal!
