[beauty] MEMEBOX - Superbox #7 - Banila co. Edition

YAY!! I got my first MEMEBOX!!
Got my tracking code about 3 days ago and I got my box today!!

From the EMS tracking status, it was shipped on April 23rd and I got it on April 28th with standard shipping. It's definitely shorter than the 15-20 working days that I was expected and I live in Canada!! :)


When I picked up the package from post office, first thing I came to my mind: This box is BIGGER than I expected, yet, not very heavy... what's going on??


No wonder it's big, it had 2 boxes inside.  ^_^

Box on the Left: Memebox Superbox #7: Banila co Edition

Box on the Right: Memebox for Hair & Body box

hmmm, this tracking number was for my Superbox #7 order, and I have another tracking number for my other boxes where I expected the Hair & Body box to be in that package.  Now, I wonder what's inside of that package??

Anyway, let's get started -- wtih Banila co box!


I love the packaging already! hahaha



Looks like there are 5 products in this bag and they are all full-size products.


#1: Acid Color Auto Shadow (04 bronze city)

A girl will never have enough eye shadow!


#2: Natural Face Naked BB cream SPF 31 PA++ (Real Natural)
I have tried their CC Cream and love it! Can't wait to try the BB Cream.


#3: It Shiny Shimmer Highlighter (02 Nude Shine)
I don't normally put shimmer or add high lights to my face, but, it won't hurt to try!


#4: Oriental Eyes Eyeliner Pen
This is going to a challenge since I don't really use an eyeliner pen...


#5: Feel So Good Pore Essence
This looks like a skin care product rather than makeup, this is my favorite product of the box!!


This is a big box for five small but useful products!

How much do I like the box?

The reason that I wanted to try Memebox was because of this box.  I like Banila co. products but have not tried very many of them.  When I went to Korea 2 months ago, I wanted to get their primer, but then I forgot (sigh...), should have gotten their cleanser, but too heavy (sigh... again).  The only thing that I ended up getting was the CC Cream.  When I saw Memebox offered Banila co. box, I thought this is the PERFECT opportunity not only to try the Memebox service; also I get to use Banila co. products!  I guess I expected more variety and not just all concentrate on makeup (4 out 5 products are makeup related).  I thought I'd receive at least one of the following (1) Primer, (2) clean it Zero cleanser, (3) cushion foundation, (4) any skin care products, and too bad I didn't.  However, I'm still happy at least I received 5 products that I've never used before.  

Cost of This Box:

This box cost 49 USD, and since this was my first box, I got 2 points for registration and 5 points for referral.  So the cost came to 49 USD + 6.99 Shipping - 7 points = 48.99 USD

Actual value of this box:

Product Name	Value from Memebox (USD)	Value from Banila co. - Regular Price (Won)	Value from Banila co. - Current discount (Won)
Eye shadow	NA	10000	5000
BB Cream	NA	22000	11000
Shimmer Highlighter	NA	18000	9000
Eyeliner Pen	NA	12000	6000
Pore Essence	NA	25000	12500
Total Value	NA*	87000**	43500***

*Info card did not provide product value
**87000 Won is about 84.26 USD today
***43500 Won is about 42.13 USD today.  Also, this is the discount price I see from Banila co. website

So if I look at the regular price of the product, then it's TOTALLY worth it!! However, I do know that they are on sale right now because most of these products are not newly released products.  However, I still think it's worth it since I probably won't get all 5 products with this kind of price + shipping elsewhere!

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

★★★✰

Points for good experience with Memebox, packaging & 5 full-size products from Banila co. that I have never tried before.  Points off for makeup focused products and did not include any newly introduced product from Banila co.  Half star for not including some sample packs!! I love when I purchase Korean makeup and they would always throw some samples in the bag!
