I have fallen in serious like w/ the Doctorcos Amino Acid Sheet Free Mask.

I used it as a mask pack (on the Meme site they say you can also use it as a sleep pack or moisturizer)

and I am really impressed with it so far.

My skin really looks brighter and feels much smoother.

It feels really nice and cooling while it's on. It's very 'watery' and turns to droplets on your face,

yet it's not overly hydrating so I think it would work nicely on all skin types.

It would also be good for the warmer months.

Anyway, if interested there are a lot of really positive reviews for it on Amazon.

That is what convinced me to buy it.

I also picked up the Blithe Tundra Chaga Pressed Serum, because it seemed really interesting.

I wish I didn't.

It doesn't seem like it's anything special or does much at all.

But the Doctorcos is a hit!

 
My thoughts exactly about the products being manufactured here in the USA vs. Europe. I don't think it's the same stuff even though it's the same brand. Whenever I see "made in France or Italy" I jump all over it because I always think it's a superior product then than the ones made here. It's the European in me that likes European and foreign things in general. Not saying that made in the USA things are bad, they just seem to be different especially if manufactured here by the same brand vs outside of USA.
Yea i heard that the Laneige products sold at Target are not the same as the ones you buy in Korea?  Has anyone looked into this? Maybe there was a thread here that ive missed. I'm a new MUT member

Hi! Welcome to MUT! The Laneige cushion I bought at Target said "Made in Korea".

 
They just released 3 Pony Bloom boxes - one for each quad. Looks like you are getting the quad, a blossom lipstick, eyeliner, blush, mascara and a mystery skincare item.  They also released an etude house box!

If anyone is interested - here are swatches of my Pony Orange Bloom Quad, Rose Garden lipstick & Spring Romance Lipstick

rose garden on the left, spring romance on the right.  I really love all of these items.  The eyeshadows are soft but pigmented, and there isn't a fall out on them that I was expecting.  The lipsticks I got are semi-matte, very smooth, no tugging and very pigmented!  Rose Garden is a brick red and Spring Romance is a bright plum-red

 
Today I was reminded why I don't buy anything from memebox anymore. They do not have the supply to meet the demand.

The Etude box was the first thing I've wanted to buy from them in MONTHS, and by the time I was able to get to a computer it's completely sold out. From the looks of it, that basically happened right away.

 
I swear, I do NOT need anymore makeup palettes, but I just noticed that these are on sale - from 16 to 9.50.  I used my free shipping code for XO products (as that expires in a few days) and picked up the charcoal one.     I am not sure why these are so discounted - I think Memebox isn't promoting some of their products that much - they promoted that nylon palette (which was okay, but no great shakes) but neglected the WONDERFUL Ksungyun bad girl palette (one of my favs!)  So, I am taking the chance on Jungsun one as well.

I miss our old Memebox days..sigh

anyway, 4 new boxes released

acne care

ultimate face box

2 yeondukong boxes - one in "shy pink" and the other in "lively coral".  She is cute, but I do think that there is a total culture difference here.  I remember when I was 19,20 something and the last thing I wanted to look like was a 13 year old.  I am always shocked when they feature her - as she looks like a tween to me.

 
Sorry I have been MIA, I flew to California to surprise my mom and dad. We are in Vegas spending a few days here.

I have looked a few times at Memebox site but not bought anything.

 
I have been MIA too, I'm so sorry! :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> The KPop world is literally ruining my life LOL. All my favorite groups are releasing new albums and making all sorts of appearances and it's consuming my every minute hahaha

On top of that I have a second job and have been insanely busy in my daily life- it sucks sometimes because I can't get on here and chat with you ladies and my blog as been on the back burner too- oye!

I wanted to jump on here and ask though- for those of you who have been buying some of the recent Memeboxes here and there...do you think they're still worth it to buy? I haven't seen all of them unboxed yet, but I haven't really seen one that made me regret not buying it. I've been thinking about picking one up for my mom for her birthday but I'm wondering if I'd be better off just buying stuff she'll like directly rather than a box. :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Ahh do I ever miss the old Memebox days.

 
@MissJexie  I think the value is slowly creeping up, but the last box I purchased, the vacation one, the value was down again.

it is a crap shot.   I haven't been in love with a box, but parts of it (haha)   If your mom likes the makeup ones, they might be good to get - the Pony Bloom boxes look really nice.

 
As I am finishing up my makeup this am, it is official.  The nylon palette is the worst ever palette in terms of pigmentation.  The colors look so nice, but it so light, even with primer.

I have no idea how those ladies on IG, showing off their looks, are able to get such vivid colors out of  this palette  I even tried foiling :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
@@MissJexie Still a crapshoot!

It totally depends on the box. The Fine and Flawless was terrible but the Oil Be Gone was really nice (in my opinion). And then... I got something else I can't remember and I thought it was okay but not awful.

But the Pony x Memebox pink bloom? Utter bliss. They fixed the fallout issue with these shadows and they are gorgeous and glorious. And um.. I love the magnetic case?  So right now I'm waffling between Soothing Sista and my Pink Bloom. The colors are so "me."

 
the pony bloom shadows are amazing.  I love mine and I might have to pick up the other 2 just because it is a great palette.
