Memebox - Office Essential Box arrived today!!
Although the standard shipping says it might take about 15~25 business days; however, I've never waited more than 10 biz days!
What's in the Office Essential Box
1. Hope Girl - 140 Super Lash Mascara (full size)
The product card said it'll give you "the lengthiest lashes you've ever had." Really!! Can't wait to try!! Too bad it doesn't say if it's waterproof or not though. This mascara is 5-free.
2. Verysix - 6 Seconds Kissing Lip gloss (full size)
It takes me years to use up a lip gloss. The truth is, I don't recall if I ever used up a lip gloss before. Normally, it just got lost somewhere. haha. The lip gloss that I normally wear are either with fruity scent or mint scent. This gloss has a very strong perfume scent, that I'm not sure if I'll like it on my lip. I work in a scent-free environment, so, I can't bring this to work.
3. Pure Smile - Refresh Tissue Citrus Punch - 10 sheets per pack, 2 packs
This package is so cute and I thought it's candy! And the size is small enough for me to carry in my makeup bag!
4. Label Young - Shocking Toner (full size)
I'm almost out of toner and was debating if I should buy a new one and this came! The texture of this toner is very interesting. It's not like the typical liquid toner, it's more jelly like and came with a spatula (? hope that's the right name). The smell is very refreshing with a bit of citrus scent. I'll probably make a mess with the spatula and how will it work when I get to the bottom of the bottle? I might put it into a pump.
I think this is the replacement of Secret Key Treatment Aura Mist. It is very weird that they put it as a spoiler but didn't end up sending it. Good thing is that Memebox compensated 10 points to each user who bought this box. So, for me, nothing much to loose, I like this toner + 10 free points!
5. RiveCowe - Sebum Control Convenient Compact (full size)
I think the color is a bit too dark for me. But, this compact size is perfect for my makeup bag!
6. Lovey Dovey - Perfume Fabric Mist - Elegant scent
There are 6 scents for this fabric mist and I got the Elegant one. It smells pretty good and since it's a deluxe sample size (60ml), it's actually perfect for me to put in my car. It'll be very useful after dinner!
7. Maxim - Maxim Mocha Gold - 2 packs
It won't be complete without coffee or tea in office! People in Korea love coffee. I'm always envious with the number & varieties of coffee shops and they have in Seoul.
Question to myself:
1. Did you like the box?
YES!!
2. How many items did you get?
7 items, 5 full size items + 1 deluxe sample + 2 coffee sticks
3. Any favourite item in the bag? Or something that you're excited to try?
I can't wait to try the toner. I like all the items in this box!!
4. Any item that you know you'll not use at all?
I'll most likely use all.
5. The "best" or "worst" thing about this month's bag.
There's no worst thing about this box. The only thing is that I can probably only take the instant coffee to my office since I work at a scent-free environment. However, I do see myself packing half of the box to my car.
Cost of the box:
Office Essential box was 23 USD. I placed the order with another box so only got charged shipping once (6.99/2 = 3.89). I also deducted 10 point of this order, so minus another 5USD. The cost came to $23 (box) + $3.89 (shipping) - 5 (points) = 21.89 USD.

*1 - I found the price from the official website. The original price is 14000 won; however, it's on sale right now for 900 won (big difference!!)
*2 - assumed it's $3 for 2 packs
*3 - With today's exchange rate, 48571 won = 49.72 USD
*4 - I didn't include the price of the instant coffee. I literally consider those 2 as "bonus" rather than "product".
I think it's now safe to say (after received couple Memebox) that the product value provided by memebox is normally doubled compare to the actual price (selling) in Korea. Obviously, it's not exactly a fair comparison, because we should also consider the shipping cost (wait! Memebox does charge extra shipping). Anyway, it's just an observation.
Needless to say, although the price is way over, if we compare the actual price vs the $ that we paid for the box, I think it's still well worth it for this box!
How much I'd rate the box (out of 5)?
