Review: Mini Memebox Haul
Sunday, September 11, 2016
This is a super late post because I never got around to writing it. I bought a few things from Memebox a few months ago that I wanted to share. It was during a 20% FF code sale. My haul was about $42 and also got 3 sample packets to try.
I bought this for it's super cute packaging and I loved the idea that it's for panda eyes. I have terrible dark circles and this is supposedly supposed to make your eyes brighter. It says it would visibly improve puffiness, eye bags, and dark circles. When I put it under my eye, it does feel a little cooler but the white formula is hard to blend so it can leave a white cast if you're not thorough. I'm not sure if I see any difference either. But I got this on sale for $3 and its a fun and cute product to carry out for every day use.
Time on My Lip (Pink)
I've been wanting to get a full-sized lip tint and this one was on sale for $5. I chose the hot pink color and I love it. It's one of my favorite lip glosses to use now. I love the color and it gives just a bit of tint to my lips without being too overpowering or drying. I usually like to just dab some in the middle of my lips for a gradient. I have really chapped lips so I have difficulty wearing anything on my lips, especially lipstick, so this has become my go-to lip product.
I'm Stick Shadow Set
After I received color #4 (2nd one on my arm) in my K-pop box I was very interested in getting the set for only $25. I usually don't like stick shadows because the stick could break and dry out. I have experience the stick falling out already, I just need to stick it back in and it will still turn up. I just can't store it upside down, which I prefer so I could see the color swatch on the bottom. Other than that, the pigmentation is very nice and I love all 5 shades. Maybe I'm biased by #4 is still my favorite, it's not too dark like #5 (1st one on my arm) and not too light that you can't notice it. It has a light brown purple tint to it. #5 is good when you want to go smokier and #3 is a nice gold base that you can blend with. #1 and #2 and great for the inner corners as a brightener. I like that #2 is a bit like rose gold. These are easy to carry out or when you just want to quickly apply some eyeshadow before you go out.
Ettang Modeling Take-Out Cup Packs
I haven't heard of these before but I saw it was a bestseller on their website and had many good reviews so I thought I'd try it out. It was on sale for $17 (Full price $26). After the discounts it came out to be about $1.70 per pack so it was a really good deal. I only tried 2 of the packs so far and I'm not sure I like it. I think I just don't know how to get the best consistency with the water and amount to put on my face. Mine came out gloopy and messy. I like the idea that it is in powder form so it seems these can last a while in storage. The reviews also say each pack has more than one use with the amount of powder it has. I tried splitting it up and then adding water. I still shared it with my husband because it still felt like too much to put on my face. After I put it on my face, and I waited 20 minutes, it dried up on my face (partially soft jelly and partially white powdery). The jelly parts were easy to peel off but I think some parts turned white because I did not layer enough, and I could not peel off in those areas. I think I will still need to figure this out before I can use it properly. I will update with pictures when I do. Otherwise these are very cutely packaged mask packs with a variety of fun ingredients. My pack came with the collagen, calendula, charcoal, propolis, chlorella, yogurt, acerola, and paper mulberry.
I would also like to rave about Memebox's customer service. When I was going to checkout, my lip gloss and panda stick were on sale when I added them to my cart. After I checked out, the order went through as full price for these 2 items. I am not sure if these sale prices were a mistake (because the prices were so good!) but I was very upset when I saw they actually did go back to full price on their website after my purchase, even though I still saw them as discounted in my cart and at checkout. I emailed customer service and they happily gave me a price adjustment and got a credit for the over charge. I'm really happy they resolved the problem so fast and I didn't have to return the items. Thanks Memebox!
