ROYAL NATURE - Pantone Shadeliner in 476C Sweetly You | $12

An auto-type and easily-gliding like a gel liner, Royal Nature's Pantone Shadeliner series come in 4 unique shades. It includes a sharpener, fully dries within 5 seconds of application, and boosts a long-lasting, waterproof, and oil-proof finish.

How cute is this idea? Pantone colours!! This pencil has a sharpener at the bottom and I do like that it's retractable. The shade is brown which is pretty basic, I already have a few brown eyeliners so this doesn't super wow me but I'm interested in how this wears compared to the others I own.



SECRET-STARGIRL - S-Style 2 Set in Delicate Eye | $7

[Product description was incorrect on the product card.]

I've only ever worn false eyelashes once before so I don't have much experience with them. This shape is very interesting and I think it would look quite nice on my eyes. My only complaint is that the band seems too thick to my liking. I do like that there are two pairs in there as well as two tubed of glue.


EGLIPS - Real Color Lip Lacquer in #PK 03 | $14

Eglips' Real Color Lip Lacquer is basically a lip gloss, a lipstick and a lip tint all combined together for the better! The trendy, vibrant colors leave your lips moist, glossy, and radiant all day long.

This is a lip lacquer which means it's similar to a gloss but opaque like a lipstick. This shade is nice, not my everyday colours but I'm sure I can find someplace to wear this out ;)


RIRE - Luxe Mirror Eyeliner in Black | $14

This unique black eyeliner comes with a tiny mirror attached to its bottle, making it easier for you to re-touch your lines whenever and wherever you are! Plus, it's very strong against water, oil and sweat, it washes off easily with just warm water and a little bit of swipe, and its thin brush delicately fills in between the lashes for a deep, well-defined look.

I don't own any of these types of eyeliners, the only "pot" eyeliner I own as a felt tip applicator, not a brush so I'm happy to have this liner. I didn't show it in the picture, but on the back of the little pot, there's a mirror which is great in a pinch! Judging from what I saw, the consistency is nice an opaque but not thick and gloopy, I'm sure this will apply fantastically!


SHARA SHARA - Color Eyes Stick Shadow | $7

We've picked out the best two shades from Shara Shara's lovely eye shadows that easily glide onto the skin and leaves a silky smooth finish. The romantic shadow is creamy in texture and comes in an auto stick-type, making it an easy-to-apply must-have got even makeup beginners.

This would be a great eyeshadow base, and the colour is a nice neutral for a lot of looks. Can I also just say that the packaging is super cute?


ORIGINAL RAW - Ten Cushion Foundation in #21 | $32

This Ten Cushion Foundation is a makeup base, CC cream, moisturizing essence, moisturizing pact, and a sunblock all in one smart item! With just a single application, it'll soothe, brighten up, smooth out, moisturize, and cover up skin imperfections. Experience a truly glowing complexion that actually lasts all day long.

I always like getting bases in my boxes because I know just how amazing Korean bases are. This is great because, just as it says in the description, it's an all-in-one and even has an SPF 50 which is a super plus in my books. I'm not too sure how the shade matches me because it's a tiny bit orange in person but it's also not full coverage so it may be able to blend in well on my skin.

Overall value: $86

Overall, I love that this box contained all full-sized items because I really feel like you get the best experience with the product that way. The value is definitely extremely high - this box retails for $23 and you get $86 worth of full-sizes products in this box. In addition, they really covered all aspects of a makeup look: eyes, lips, base, etc. and you can use solely these items and pull off a pretty complete and polished look.

This box was sent to me through the Memebox Affiliate program; all opinions are my own.

Some FAQs about Memebox:

1. First things first – How do I pronounce “Memebox”?
It’s pronounced as “Mi-mi-box”, not “meme-box”. The name “Memebox” originated from “Mi Mi”, the name of a Korean doll that is the beauty idol of many little girls in Korea. We spelt it as “Me-me” because we wanted to emphasize that beauty is about oneself, and hence “me”.

2. So, what is Memebox?
Memebox is currently the #1 beauty box provider in Korea, and arrived here in the US and other countries just recently! We strive to bring you only the most trusted, best-loved Korean beauty products at everyday prices. Korean cosmetics are renowned for their high quality and efficacy, and we’re really excited to bring this to you! Memebox carries 4 main types of beauty boxes: Memebox, Memebox Special Editions, Superbox and Luckybox (we will explain these in detail in the next section.) In addition to the box series, we also carry full-size, Korean beauty products in our Memeshop.

4. Is Memebox shipped directly from Korea?
One of the great benefits of shopping with Memebox is that all of our products are sourced, packaged, and shipped, directly from Korea straight to your doorstep.
There are couple of reasons behind this: firstly, we want to make sure that you get the widest choice of products, and that means not limiting ourselves to a small warehouse outside of Korea. Secondly, beauty trends evolve incredibly rapidly, and shipping directly from Korea allows us to stay on top of that. As a result, regular shipping does take between 15 - 25 business days.
Express shipping options are available as well, and take 3 - 7 business days. At Memebox, we’re committed to bringing you only the best - we’ll make sure it’s worth the wait.

5. Do you ship internationally?
Currently, although we cater predominantly to customers in the U.S., we also ship to 45 countries: Austria, Australia, Belarus, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Israel, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Romania, Russia, Singapore, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom, USA.

6. Is Memebox a continuous subscription or do you have to purchase each box separately?
Currently, Memebox does not offer monthly subscription plans, so each box will have to be purchased upon release.
Register your email at us.memebox.com, and we will send you an email notifying you when a new box is released!

7. Are the products featured in the boxes sold on your website as well (us.memebox.com)?
Unfortunately, not all the products featured in our boxes are available. However, there are many items that we’ve featured that you can also purchase in full-size at our Memeshop from http://us.memebox.com.
