[beauty] MEMEBOX for Hair & Body

My second box!! It's like Birthday + Xmas!! hahaha

My second order with Memebox started with me picking the Naked Box #2 & Global Box 13, since Memebox offered $5 off for the 3 boxes, I picked Hair & Body for my 3rd box.  I wanted to try the specialty boxes and Hair & Body sounds good to me since it's a none-makeup box! :)



The box smells AMAZING when I opened it & it's FULL!!



Info card - there are 8 boxes inside!! I'm officially more excited than my Banila co box!!



1. Rosapacific - 19 Real Neck Sheet (1 sheet, 12g)
Neck sheet... hhmm... never tried before so I googled online.  Ok, so I have a thing that I don't like stuff too close to my neck.  I never wear turtle neck because it makes me uncomfortable.  This neck sheet requires me to put the sheet on my neck... I wonder if I can handle that... ^^''

When I tried to search for the product online, I had hard time find this one, there are other ones offered by Rosapacific, but I just can't find this one.  Finally I found it in G-market, I wonder how long ago was this product introduced....


2. 1004 Laboratory - Kiss the Perfume Brilliant Hair Treatment (300ml - Full Size)
I know why my box smelled amazing!! There's a small leak from this bottle, I guess the pressure from the flight caused it.  This is a big bottle and I love hair treatment products!



3. Annagaspi - Brilliant Body Design Patch (2 Pouches, 4 ea)
I'm curious about this product, the product card said "A hydro-gel body patch that reshapes and firms swollen legs and feet.  The efficacy of this patch lasts for 8 hours." wow~ can't wait to try!!


4. SD - Hair Steam Hair Pack (30g)
Another hair treament!! yay!! And this comes with steam hair pack & a shower cap...


5. Kocostar - Nail Therapy (4g x 3ea)
OK, this does not look like a Korean product for me because it's all in English.  When I read details in side, this is actually a Canadian company, but product made in Korea.  I guess it'll be easier for me to buy if it works!!


6. Zivon - Plu Scrub Oriental Jin (50g)
Body scrub that contains red ginseng, olive oil, macadamia oil, argan oil and other natural oils.  I hope... it doesn't smell like ginseng.. :P


7. EVAS - RoseMine Perfume Touch (13g - Full Size)
Love the packaging!! It comes with 3 scents - Blessing Blossoms, Fresh Green Tea and Gleaming Bijou.  I got the Gleaming Bijou one, haven't open it yet, hope it smells good! Debating if I should give away as a gift since I rarely have a chance to put on perfume now -- scent-free work area...


8. Golden Glove - Exfoliating Gloves (1 pair)
OK... I can "barely" consider this as a product, it'd think it's more like a bonus supplement for this box.  What amazes me is that the info card said this glove costs $16!!! Seriously?? I don't think so!! Refer to the price comparison below!


This box contains 8 products inside and 2 of them are full size products.

How much do I like the box?
I like it very much.  It has a wild variety of products.  Only 2 repeating products - #2 & #4 are both hair treatment products.  Would be nice if it comes with a sample Shampoo & Conditioner instead though :)  I'm really excited & can't wait to try the nail therapy & the body design patch!!

Cost of this box:
This box is 23 USD and had $1.67 ($5 off for 3 boxes) off for bundle.  But I had to pay $6.99 for the order (of 3 boxes).  The cost came to $23 (the box) - $1.67 (bundle discount) + 2.33 (shipping) = 27 USD

Actual value of this Box:

*Can’t find the price on the official website anymore.  Price based on G-Market
** The official website sales at 18000 Won for 3 pouches.
***Single pack from the website costs 15000 Won.  However if you buy 20 packs, it costs 4100 each.  BIG difference!
****Can’t find the price on the Korean website.  Search the price on the Canadian website.
*****The cheapest price I found online is 5000 Won and I also see a website selling at 10000, so, let’s pick the expensive one 

So the value from Product Card comes to $163.50 and the actual value is about 93.59 USD.  Either way, it's still worth the money I paid for!!

How much I'd rate the box (out of 5)?
★★★★

I can't help it to compare this box with the Banila co. box.  The value of this box is so much worth it compare to the Banila co. one.  I really like the variety it offered and there are things that I probably will not buy if it's not part of a gift set.  Can't wait to try!
