[life] Make Up For Ever - 5 Camouflage Palette Cream

my birthday splurge... I need concealer anyway, can't wait to start using it!

[beauty] Memebox - Colorbox Bundle 2+1

I must be out of my mind when I purchased this.  Not sure what my logic was -- new adventure (maybe??) that I picked the color box rather than the scent bundle box!!

Although it's really fun to get 3 boxes at the same time, it's also a bit overwhelming! Especially when I had to sneak it to my room! ha!

So memebox introduced 2 bundle boxes at the same time:
1. Color Box 2+1 = red, blue & organge
2. Scent Box 2+1 = Rose, Baby Power & Grapfruit

Again, no idea why I picked color box, because look at the color!! it's not something I can wear everyday!
One of the reason I can think of was because I rarely wear scented stuff these days.  I work from home most of the time and my office is fragrance-free area, so, can't wear perfume (~sad~) 

1. RED Box

[beauty] ipsy - June Bag

So I received 3 subscription boxes today and you can imagine how happy I was.  And this month is actually not bad, until.....



This month I received:
1. NYX - Butter Gloss

So many people raved about this.  For sure I will give it a try!

[beauty] Beauty Box 5 - June Box

The box smelled great when I opened it!!

This month I received:
1. Nicka K New York - Nail Polish

2. Organix - Coconut Water Shampoo & Conditioner

 too bad, only 1 set of foil...

[beauty] Topbox - June Box

These past couple months I've wished that I knew Topbox before Beautybox 5.  I requested for subscription toward the end of last year and waited for 3 months before I can subscribe (even longer than IPSY!).  When the wait was over, I decided to let go since I had a few subscriptions already and I wanted to wait until my beautybox subscription is over and get to Topbox.  I guess I was not very happy with BB5 the past couple months so I went on wait list again.  This time I was notified earlier... way too earlier than I expected.  I thought if I pass the subscription chance again, I might not be able to get it again.  So, here we go, I subscribed.

It came with the signature tube and a big bottle, I guess it's too big to fit the tube.

By the looks of it, I knew I didn't get the "one" I wished for.  

Topbox is a Canadian subscription box and it's $12+tax a month including shipping.  You will receive 4 deluxe/full size sample each month.

[beauty] MEMEBOX - Superbox #13 - Pore Box

This is a box that I've been anxious to receive and it finally came!

Ahh! so excited!!

full of products!

It's weird that this product card didn't come with a picture.  Thank god all the products contain English; otherwise, it might be hard for somebody to recognize.

 #1: O'GCE - Blackheads All Clear Nose Pack + Pore Tightener Full Set - 1 Box ($11)

This is a full size product & I've tried this already.  The nose pack is just a regular nose pack as Bore ones.  The stripe is black, and it's hard to see what actually came off of your nose, haha.  I like the pore tightener though, it's REALLY tight!

#2: Velieve - White Clay Mask - 280 ml ($35)

I have nothing against clay mask, it's just, I have to stay in the washroom the whole time in order not to make a mass...

[beauty] MEMEBOX - Mini #1

My 4th Memebox -- ALREADY! and it's only been ONE month since I started purchasing them.  CRAZY!!

This will be a quick post because the only reason I bought this box was to fulfill my curiosity.

As usual, I like memebox's packaging.  

It always come with a very sturdy box that I can re-use.

I'm not sure when and what kind of box that I would receive this Get it beautybox bag.  I like it!

All the products at glance.

[beauty] Beauty Box 5 - May Box

[life] @ PM - Travel Makeup

Travel light for the weekend...

[life] @ AM - Too Much?

[beauty] MEMEBOX - Nakedbox #2

Got my 3rd Memebox today!

Memebox recently came out a new kind of box -- Nakedbox.

Nakedbox has all products revealed in advance so we can pick the box that we wanted!

So excited!!

I really like Memebox BOX! pretty sturdy and I can use it again.

Also, it came with this fabric bag that have all the products inside so it doesn't move all over the place during shipment.

[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!!

[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

[beauty] Beauty Box 5 - April

I received Ipsy & BB5 at the same day and also went to pick up my Pop Sugar Must Have box, and obviously, I can't stop to compare the content....

What I received this month:
1. BH Cosmetics - California Collection Eyeshadow Palette
I think this is my favorite item of the box!

2. Nicka K New York - Hydro Lipstic

3. Blum Natural - All Purpose Cleansing Wipes
hhhmm, I have trouble open the lead.  Anyway, I put it my car's compartment just in case when I need it.

[beauty] ipsy - April Bag

Time for IPSY bag again!  

I love this month's bag.  But, unfortunately, it still has plastic smell :(

This month I received:
1. Urban Decay - 24/7 Velvet Glide-on Eyes Pencil Travel Size

2. Coastal Scents - Medium Shadow Bruch

3. dr. brandt - microdermabrasion

4. Elizabeth Mott - pop! goes the shadow

5. Starlooks - Luscious Longwear Lip Pencil

[beauty] Beauty Box 5 - March

I received ipsy & beautybox five on the same day!! 

I actually liked this month's box more than ipsy bag -- this is a first!!

What's in the box:

1. Swissco - Dual-sided Facial Pad

I'm going to consider this a "upgrade" version of the facial pad I use right now.  I bought mine at Target...

2. Hard Candy - Nail Polish

Pink... hhmm... not really my choice of colour.  I might be able to do nail art on it?

3. Bellapierre Cosmetics - Makeup Base

This is interesting, looks more like concealer.  I think it can also be used as a primer.

4. Tree Hut - Shea Body Butter (Coconut Lime)

This smells so good!! Can't wait to use it!

5. Jane's Pick - hand made bar soap

This bar soap is so thin, I think it'll break after couple uses...

[beauty] ipsy - March bag

This month's ipsy bag is extremely light and no wonder -- I only got 3 items...

Don't know who made the ipsy bag, the past couple months, the bag smelled really bad and very... plasticky... (if that's a word~  I like the pattern tough...

This month I received:

1. bareMinerals - Marvelous Moxie Lipstick in Get Ready
I've heard good things about bareMineral, but I've never tired their lipstick.  I'll probably use it, or give to my mom

2. Pixi Beauty - Flawless Beauty Primer
Oh! I love primer and always want to explore new brand.  At least this is a brand that I can get at Target!

3. Chella - Indigo Blue Eyeliner
hhhmm, I love eyeliner, but I probably will never use this blue though.   What can I do with an eyelinener that I won't use and can't gift??

4. NYX - Love in Rio Eye Shadow
Don't see that in the picture right?  Because it's not there!! No wonder my bag's super light.  I emailed ipsy and they told me my eye shadow is on my way!!

Etude House - Collagen Line

Got this set while waiting for my flight transfer in Seoul.  Wanted to buy this when I went to Korea, but it's too heavy and don't want to explode my luggage.  Luckily I saw this set at the airport and it also came with a face wash and couple masks (not in picture).

My plan is to switch this when summer comes (soon!!)

Can't wait to try this set!!

[beauty] Beauty Box 5 - February

I start to receive IPSY & Beauty Box 5 at the same time... sometimes, I can't help to compare it 

What's in the box:
1 & 2. Rockstar Nails - Nail Polish & Nail Sprinkles

I'm excited to try the sprinkles, just hope I won't make a mess...

3. John Frieda Luxurious Volume - Touchably Full Shampoo & Conditioner

I got 2 of each, will take them to Korea in March

4. La Fresh - Antibacterial Wipes

again, my travel companion

[beauty] ipsy - February bag

This month I received:

1. NuMe - Intense Renewal Mask
This is a hair mask.  By the size of the tube, I'll probably use it up at once.

2. Tini Beauty - Eyetini Cordial Cream Shadow + Base in One
This is interesting.  It lip gloss lip eye shadow.  

3. City Color - Be Matte Blush
I don't wear blush much, but the only 2 I have all have shimmer in it.  This would be a nice one to have.

4. Zoya - Nail Polish
I have heard good things about Zoya, but never owned one, very happy to receive a Zoya polish.

5. Pop Beauty - Plump Pout Mini
It is a long wearing gloss + stain with plumping effect.  I'm glad I receive this color, instead of the pink one :)
