Memebox Free From Oil & Troubles Review




If you don't know what Memebox is it's basically a beauty box subscription based out of Korea. It started in Korea and has recently launched in the US. Here's 4 reasons why I love Memebox:
  1. It's a beauty box service, but you don't have to subscribe and pay monthly like you do with other companies. You can choose the boxes you want when you want!
  2. Holy, full size products, Batman! SO many full size products. 
  3. Reasonable pricing. Heck, it's better than reasonable! The Free From Oil & Troubles box was only $23. The Ciracle Cream alone costs $39 on Amazon so $23 for everything pictured is actually robbery.
  4. Korean skincare products are like light years ahead of US skincare products. Take BB Cream for example, Koreans started that ages ago! Plus, have you ever seen a Korean woman's skin? It's always beautiful perfection.
Here we have the Free From Oil & Troubles Memebox. It's no longer available (you might be able to buy these individual products from the Memebox Memeshop), but they're releasing another Free From Oil & Trouble Box, and this new box is a Superbox! The Superbox was inspired by Memebox lovers, looking for full-sized products. I'll say it again...holy, full size products, Batman!
Memebox could not have sent me a better box at a better time. For some reason I get really oily skin in the summer and I've never had an oily skin skincare routine because nothing worked for me. I've been using the Cosrx Cleansing Bar, Dr. Young U-Line Clearing Mist, and the Ciracle Red Spot Cream everyday since I got this box and I finally feel like I don't have crazy oily skin anymore.

Memebox Hair and Body



Hey everyone, here's a review and a little 2 product giveaway (giveaway details are the end of this post) brought to you by Memebox! It's the Hair & Body Box! The Hair & Body Memebox is one of their first special boxes, which includes items under special themes. It is designed to introduce unique hair and body products from Korean cosmetic brands. If you don't know what Memebox is it's a Korean Beauty Box provider. It's really great because it's like a monthly subscription box without the subscription. You chose the boxes you want and it doesn't have to be every month. Another bonus to Memebox is that they include mostly full size products unlike other subscriptions where you're paying for teeny tiny samples. This box costs only $23 while the retail value is almost $150.

I haven't properly used these yet, only got a chance to swatch them for now, but my first impression of these colored pencils is "WOW!" They're extremely pigmented and are very vibrant. My faves are complimentary to some my favorite OCC Lip Tar shades...like Anime, NSFW, Grandma, Hoochie and Black Dahlia. I'm most excited to use the clear one because I've been wanting to try a clear lip liner for ages and just never get around to buying one. The only thing I don't like about these is there aren't enough shades, I can't wait for OCC to release more!

These will be available February 1st online at occmakeup.com & sephora.com and in stores February18th.
