See, Shop, Love!

After trying my first Memebox (pronounced “Mi-mi-box”) recently, I was excited to try more.  Memebox is a beauty box company that sends the best in Korean beauty, with a huge range of skincare and cosmetics to offer.  You can do one-time purchases of their limited edition boxes, or you can shop for individual products.

Colorbox #1 is all about Red!  I prefer getting color cosmetics more than skincare samples, so the fact that Memebox offers these color boxes is something that I appreciate.  This one is still available on their website and costs $15.  I think that’s an amazing price for five full-sized products!  If red isn’t your color, they also have blue and orange Colorboxes.

• Cheek Room Two Color Lip Gloss in #6 Red ($12) – This cute lip gloss has two colors in one.  When I first opened it I thought the colors had separated, but then I read the informational card that came with the box and realized that it’s supposed to be that way.  I think the packaging on this is adorably retro, and I think the color(s) will be flattering.

• Dearberry Today Nail Lacquer in #21 Pink Sprinkling ($3) – I love nail polish so I was happy to receive one in this box!  I really like the color, it’s a pink/red cream that applies “very thinly yet vividly,” according to the info card.
• L’OCEAN Eye Shadow in L-35 Red ($10) – I have to be honest, this scares me.  I’ve never in my life used, or even thought about using, a red eyeshadow.  I can’t even think of a time when I would need to wear it.  But I’m sure a search of red looks will bring up something interesting to try, and stepping outside of my comfort zone isn’t a bad thing to do!

• Dearberry Flirt Lipstick in 08 Red Parade ($12) – Red lipsticks must be big in Korea because this is the second in two boxes I’ve received.  I rarely wear a red lip, but again, this gives me the opportunity to try something new (a photo of the actual lipstick are after the “read more”).

• Tosowoong Gel Pencil Liner in 04 Burgundy ($10) – I’m glad Memebox included this because I definitely need a liner when wearing lipstick.  I hope this pairs well with the Flirt lipstick because it’s a little bit darker, but we’ll see.  If not, I’ll buy a lipstick to match it (photo of the liner after the “read more”).

Bottom Line: This box had a total retail value of $47, which is an amazing deal for only $15!  I think Memebox is so fun, and I love that they have so many different boxes to choose from.  The only problem is that I want to buy them all, but that wouldn’t be the most budget-friendly thing for me right now.
