Memebox Global 14 - Unboxing and Review

Hello everybody! It's Monday again! I was nowhere near ready to be back at work.  But got to earn to cover my shopping expenses!

Earlier this week, I took up the courage to flatten all my Memebox boxes and stuffed them in the recycling bin. I was so hard, but it was taking up too much space! For those unfamiliar with the Memebox, Memebox is a Korean beauty subscription box. Typically the boxes are stuffed with 4-8 deluxe to full sized items. If you pick the Superbox, they are all full sized items. The boxes start from $15. When you are lucky, you can use Memepoints to get the boxes for cheaper or even free. Don't pay full price (even though the boxes are extremely cheap)!

The company comes out with new boxes and deals ready weekly, so get your credit cards ready! For those who are VIP status, it's even better deals. You will have to maintain 5 box purchases every 3 months, which isn't too difficult considering they come out with new ones so often. 




Anyhow, onto the unboxing. This time it's the Memebox Global #14. This one totally blew me away. It came in a big box and it was packed! I bought this as a series. Sometimes Memebox offers their Global boxes in series so you can buy 3 or more boxes in 1 order and pay less. You can save on the shipping, which is nice since the change with Memebox's new shipping policy.


The first item in the box are 2 randomly selected body wash with Marilyn Monroe on the bottle. It says it's full size,  but it's more of a travel size. Cute bottle,  but I'll finish off my other ones first. Marilyn Monroe, you are gonna have to wait. Full size = $4


Next was a Sally's box 4set. This has the cutest packaging!  4 sheet mask, can't complain. I was running low on masks, so this is awesome! It says to put it on for 15-20 minutes. I usually nap with it on, so it goes over that time.  Anyone else does same thing? Full size = $14


Third item was a Beauty People Miss 100 Gel Liner. I have mixed feelings about this.  I got a gold eyeliner.  The 3 selections were all pearl colors. I'm not keen on sparkly stuff on my eyes, but worth a try considering Snow White is on it. LOL. Full size = $38


Fourth item was a VOV Goodbye Black Smudge Waterproof Mascara. I was really hoping for black eyeliner which was the second option.  I already got a lot of mascaras from my previous boxes, but no worries I found it a good home already. Full size = $16


Fifth item was a 4 Package Set from Kocostar. Similar to the Sally's set, there are 4 masks.  The difference is, it covers different parts of the body.  It covers the hair, face, fingers, and foot peeling. I just did the foot peeling mask. My feet is a bit pruney right now.  We shall see! Full size = $20


Sixth item was a Mineral Essence In Liquid Foundation from Sua Young. It says its better than bb and cc creams. The color looks a bit light for my skin right now.  I shall wait till winter.  Its a deluxe size product. Full size = $34


Seventh item was a beautiful bottle of Golden Time Vita Capsule Essence from Recipe by Nature.  Based on the card, its "literally packed full of numerous vitamin capsules that will deliver deep nourishment and nutrition to your skin, balancing out the oil/moisture level, brightening darkened skin tones and evening out rough skin textures for a much smoother, silkier complexion.  I'm intrigued,  but I promised myself I would finish my other products first. Should I be shaking it first? Full size = $42


Last item, a;t fox Fantasy Holic Lip & Cheek Designer Pencil.  It's a 2 in 1 pencil for the cheeks and lips.  It already became part of my sisters collection. LOL!  Full size = $7.

Overall, I'm in love with the box.  A few of the items, I can do without, but the masks are awesome. After seeing it,  I don't care whatelse was in the box! The boxes were priced $23 each with shipping, but because I bought the series from 14 - 16, I only had to pay for the shipping once. Plus, I used coupon codes and memepoints to maximize the discount!

I'll be posting the September coupon codes,  so look out for it.

August Lootcrate is AMAZING!!!


Hello!!!  I finally received my August Lootcrate and was so excited to open it.  Knowing that there was an exclusive Funko POP! in there made me want to rip up that box.  Oh man!!! I was not disappointed.


First thing I saw and looked at was the Funko POP! figure.  I AM GROOT!!! If anyone watched Guardians of the Galaxy, they would know exactly how I felt.  Groot was one of the characters you can’t help but fall in love with and you get your very own Groot to have.  On top of that, his left hand glows in the dark, just like in the movie when he sends out spores into the air that light up the surroundings.  This is a Lootcrate only exclusive!!!


The second item I pulled out of the box was the ninja turtle sunglasses.  Also out in theaters right now is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  The sunglasses are an awesome piece but were a little small for my big head.


The next item I pulled out was the Sonic the Hedgehog air freshener.  What’s it smell like?  Like a nice tropical breeze scent.  Makes me wonder what the other characters smell like.


Raph!!!  If anyone is a fan of the ninja turtles, they would truly appreciate this piece.  Designed by kidrobot, it’s a great addition to any ninja turtle collection.


This next one I don’t know how I feel about.  These are called shwings.  These are wings that you lace into your shoes.  I don’t think I’m neither cool enough nor young enough to rock these but they do look like a cool idea.


The last part of the box is a hodgepodge of little things: The monthly brochure and pin, a chimichanga magnet, bonus digital loot and my looter ID card. 


All in all, in the three months I have been signed up to Lootcrate, this is my favorite box.  AHHH so much goodness in this box!!!!
