Hello everybody! It has been awhile since I had written a review, but doesn’t mean I haven’t more subscription boxes lately! LOL! But have to admit that I’ve been good with controlling myself with purchasing more Memeboxes, up until this past week. I had to give into their temptations!
The last 2 boxes I wasn’t really blown away, so I’ve been slacking.; however, I have been really excited to receive my new boxes: Superbox #84 Skinfood and Superbox #82 The Face Shop. In addition, I got them within a week of purchasing. The others one I bought a month ago are still in transaction. We have Skinfood and Face Shop available in the Bay Area, so I was confident I would enjoy the box and overall I was correct!
Starting off with the Superbox #84 The Face Shop, it had 6 items. I was a bit disappointed with the box size. It was the same size as the Mini Boxes that had 4 items. Luckily, when I picked up the box, it was relatively heavy and packed with products.
First item was a Calendula Eden Essential Moisture Cream (50 ml) $9. The cream is made me calendula extracts and hyaluronic acid. I just realized those marigold flowers are called calendula. I thought there were daisies… The focus of the cream is to prevent moisture loss and to firm up sagging skin. Does anyone else feel like Korean products focus on firming our saggy skin?! This actually is perfect because I wasn’t very pleased with the Skin Ceramic Donkey Milk & Argan Oil Multi Steam Cream from the Memebox #7 Milk box. That cream feels a bit oily but doesn’t moisture. Its wintertime, so my skin is suffering. Plus there was this odd herbal scent to it. Hopefully this new one from Face Shop will revamp my skin.
Second item was Me:ex Pastel Cushion Blusher (5g) $7. There were 5 options and I believe I got the Pink Cushion. It has a cute fluffy puff, but it was very difficult to get it back to close.
Third item was a cute Lovely Me:ex Mini Pet Hand Cream (30 ml) $6. It has a cute animal resting on the top of jar. And it is also a nice size to keep in my purse. This also has 4 different scents and each scent is a different animal and color.
Next item was a Lovely Me:ex Dessert Lip Balm (6g) $8. $8 for a lip balm seems kind of expensive no? It is suppose to melt onto our chapped lips and creates a moisture barrier.
Fifth item was a Lovely Me:ex You&Eyes 05 Sand Brown (1.6g) $5. A goldish, sandy eye shadow. I’m not ecstatic about it, but still alright. The color seems too dramatic for me and I don’t have many occasions for this.
Last item, on the card it says Milk Plus Calming Moisuture Body Lotion (300 ml) $8; however, I got a shower gel. Where’s my lotion Memebox?? I had too many of these body wash so I was hoping for a body lotion.
Overall, I feel alright about this box. Not as excited as I was hoping, but I will deal. The box added up to be a bit over $40 and they are all full sized items. There are so many awesome products from The Face Shop, but they went for the more travel size items, so I was slightly disappointed, but they still are useful. I purchased this box as a set with the Skin Food, so I was able to save a bit with the shipping. If you are in their VIP program, it probably had additional discounts, plus early access to the boxes. I feel like the Memeboxes are usually better than the Superboxes. The Memeboxes usually have more expensive and bigger products, while the Superboxes are suppose to be packed with full size products it doesn’t live up to its name.
