What do you guys think I should order from the meme store? I'm looking for an eye cream and you all seem so knowledgable!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

What are you looking for in an eye cream?  I know that sounds stupid, but there are different types of ingredients that target different problems /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Dryness!! And circles a little bit. And texture. I'd say dryness and texture are my biggest issues, then dark circles. I'm not very puffy like.

You ladies totally enabled me. I purchased the Secretkey. I can't wait for my package to arrive! My boxes have slowed to a trickle. Of course I have more products than I'll ever be able to use. But, it sure is fun

I've tried the Dran Aqua Wonder Recovery eye cream http://us.memebox.com/aqua-wonder-recovery-eye-cream#.VKdsqHs9b84

I haven't tried daycell's eye cream, but I have tried another product by them, and I liked it a lot  http://us.memebox.com/ph-plan-eye-cream#.VKds43s9b84

There isn't that many eye creams to pick from in the memeshop.  I personally think a really good inexpensive eye cream is Secret Key Snail + EGF Repairing Eye Cream which I got in my Secret Key Value set by memebox, but they don't sell that eye cream on its own there and that value set is gone.  You can get it at beautynetkorea.com however.

They do have a secret key 2nd edition value set - http://us.memebox.com/memeshop/holiday-gift-editions/secretkey-holiday-edition-season-2 - which has the starter eye cream - which is made from galactomyces filtrates - good yeasty stuff for your skin.

That is a great set - I have the 1st edition, but if I hadn't of purchased the 1st edition, I would have gotten the 2nd edition...

I have been looking for a new eye cream too.  I have a lot of the same issues that squared does (although I think I am probably a bit older than she is).  I have dryness and crepeieness (is that a word) but not dark circles or puffiness.

I am also wanting to revamp my skin care regime this year.  I have tried a few K-beauty items from trades, and really loved the masks.  But I don't really know how to pick out the best ones for my skin.  Does memebox offer good mask boxes?

Also open to other suggestions.  Generally I have aging skin that has become pretty dry as I get older.  I also have some acne scars as I use to be an oil pit, so brightening products are good too.

 

[biancardi]

 @marigoldsue  yes, memebox does have great mask boxes - they still have the winter essential mask box and that is a good solid box which I think you will like.

I know that products that have milk in them usually are fantastic for all skin types, but when you have creams made with milk, they are very rich and moisturizing - perfect for dry skin.  I know this because I cannot use them on my face!  I have oily skin. 

Eye creams that have galactomyces filtrates are great - those are like the best friend in the world for anyone, imho.   Those are fermented grains (that is why I call them my yeasty friends) and many of us memeaddicts love products with galactomyces filtrates.  

brightening products - I got a secret key milk brightening toner in my beauteque bag (head to toe milk) and it is amazing.  I think you will like it - it is good for all skin types but it is very moisturizing and hydrating - there is a beauteque thread here as well https://www.makeuptalk.com/f/topic/132969-beauteque-beauty-bag-new-korean-cosmetics-subscription/?p=2359005

i have super dry skin too and i loved how the bounce cheese cream (woah throwback) felt on my hands when i tried it once but i'm mostly dairy free and lactose intolerant. how would these milk masks, milk skincare, etc. work on someone who is lactose intolerant? should i just find something else to try?

I cannot answer that specifically.   I know that there are some members here that are allergic to bee venom and some have been able to use those bee venom products and others have not.

I would say go for the snails.   I bet that is why you loved the bounce cheese cream as that also had the snail mucus in it too.   You can find snail creams without milk /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I am sure some of our ladies here with dry skin will also be able to help you too..

 

[biancardi]

oh if anyone is interested - one of the most hydrating facial sheet masks I have ever used is skinfoods thermal water sheet masks

they have 3 different water types, thermal, glacier and deep sea - and they all are very moisturizing, but the thermal is really a water bomb.

 

[crazysweet]

I just got a glacier one from Sasa. Now I HAVE to try it!

I don't imagine you'd have any issues if you are lactose intolerant, since that just means your body is no longer producing enough lactase to properly digest lactose you eat.

However, if you are allergic to milk and not just lactose intolerant, I think using skincare items with dairy could be problematic.

I'd say your best bet is to patch test some items with milk in them and see how that goes!

Edited for clarity.

I need to review all 3 of them - they are great masks

Lactose intolerance really only affects your digestion, so long as it is an intolerance and not an actual allergy, you should be fine!

I've the skinfood glacier sheet mask as well! I'll have to try it soon.

Did anyone  else try the A.H.C moisture serum yet? I only used it three times. it broke me out horribly one time and my face always itches whenever I use it. For example, right now. I'm not sure what's going on, probably the alcohol. I feel really bad throwing it out because it's such an expensive product. It looks like I just might have to now.

Also did anyone swatch the Shara Shara top talented bb cream? I don't want to open it if its too light for my skin tone. Then, I can gift it to a friend /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

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

Stella - yeah, arms are fine now thanks (sorry for not responding, it was getting late so went to bed and never saw your post). I'm just going to have to be careful now with any products I use...just in case. I was allergic to Timotei shampoo as a kid but thought that was all.

Oh, hey, me too!

Received Very Berry restock and K Beauty wrap up this morning. The K beauty one had the goat milk hand cream so happy as can always use that. Also got one of my Testerkorea orders but they've sent the wrong item /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> they don't seem to do returns so have a feeling I won't be getting the item but a refund instead (which I don't want)...will see what they say as its their mistake.

Still waiting on empress secrets - was sent out on the 16th and still no sign of it. Its in the UK someplace so fingers crossed it gets here on Monday along with Thumbs Up, Global #16 and Luckybox #12 which are also en-route. The rest will likely come the week after..
