Memebox Superbox #64: Makeup Edition 2: Unboxing and review

I finally got my hands on my first Memebox today! I'm so excited. The box was $23USD, but with coupons and memepoints I got mine for $19.99USD. I can't remember exactly how much this was in AUD, but I think it was around $23.00 including postage. The boxs contains 7 full size items so I've got to say that this is an absolute bargain. Please excuse my terrible photos, it's very overcast here today.

In the box was:

RECEVEN Perfect Star Powder in 09Gray. RRP $11USD

This is a loose pigment which is extremely shimmery and glittery. It can be applied wet or dry. It is a nice subtle colour but I stopped wearing glittery make-up about 10 years ago. I can imagine that this would get quite messy to apply and would require proper setting to avoid fallout. It is an extremely generous size and would last a very long time.

Shara Shara I Wanna Cat's Gel Liner in 04Havana Pearl Brown. RRP $10USD

This is great. You could have gotten it in Persian Peal Navy as well and I would have been happy with either. I love gel eyeliners so was very happy to get this one. It has a nice brush in the lid which is actually a really nice brush. I wish we got both colours because I know I will definitely be using this product. As with all gel eyeliners, the size of the product is huge. It is water-resistant (not proof) which is great as I find water-proof makeup a bit difficult to remove if I make a mistake. It goes on really nicely,is easy to work with and is a real chocolatey colour.This is an absolute win as far as I'm concerned.

UPDATE: I used this last night at work and it didn't budge all night. It was super-easy to apply, which is great because I'm ham-fisted when it comes to things like this. The brush is perfect for thin or thick lines. I just love this stuff, nothing bad to say.

 

 

Etude House Woo Baby Lip Plumper in 01Clear Gloss Volume. RRP $7USD

There was also a glittery pink option and I'm so glad I got the clear one as I'm not a glittery lips person. This smells so fricken minty that I will probably use it all the time as I LOVE mint. When you open it it looks like a nail-polish brush type applicator but it's actually a flexible plastic spatula. I've only used it once and I'm not sure if it plumped anything as I have big lips anyway but my lips definitely feel well hydrated and the mint scent is amazing. It also makes your lips tingle a bit which I quite enjoy. This can be used under or over lipstick. 

UPDATE: I've been using this for two days now and I still love it. I do think it plumps my lips a little which makes them look less dry. I'm really liking it and am very glad I got a full size. I can't chew chewing gum because it gives me a sore throat so this is a nice alternative as it makes my lips tingle the same way gum does to your mouth. That's probably a really weird thing to say but its true. I've used it over and under lipstick and the result is great. I would recommend using it over lipstick though, or putting lipstick on after you've had it on for a while. If you put lipstick directly over it, it looks amazing but doesn't last very long. 

 

 

 

 

Secret Kiss Sweet Glam Glow Stick in Urban Coral. RRP $22USD

This is a lip product that is supposed to have the 'long-lasting wear of a tint, the high pigmentation of a lipstick and the high glossy shine of a gloss". Looking at the swatch I dare say that it would. Unfortunately, this is orange and orange lip colours are not even a little bit my thing. I'm really disappointed about this as I was looking forward to trying this product. Unfortunately, I always seem to get the orange lip products, Grr. I'm hoping to swap this one for the other available colour, Wonder Pink. 

 

 

 

 

Skinfood Mineral Color Fix Brow Mascara in 03Mineral Deep Brown. RRP $7USD

This is a brown brow mascara. I don't really know what else to say about this product as I have never used one and probably never will. I have very thick, dark (noticeable) eyebrows which need no further assistance. If it was a powder or a pencil I may have tried it but this product won't be used. I have swatched it and it's a nice enough colour so I'm going to try and swap or sell it so it doesn't go to waste. 

 

 

 

i.myss Beauty Toc Gold Egg Vibration Puff. RRP $30USD

This is interesting. It is a puff that vibrates, as the name suggests. It is for putting on BB Cream type foundations. It is meant to ensure high-adhesive performance and a 'delicate silky smooth texture'. I am SO intrigued by this and will be using it ASAP. I will probably do a full write up of this product and if I do I'll link it here. So crazy. 

UPDATE: I've now used this and it does appear to give my BB cream a smooth finish. Could just be that the foundation brush I usually use is a bit crap. I even had a regular at work tell me that I looked 'very attractive' last night (middle-aged female so not weird or creepy). It feels quite quirky, not sure if it's a nice feeling or not. I'm going to keep using it until the battery runs out and then decide whether or not to buy a replacement battery. It's really cute looking too, and it definitely has comic value so I'm really happy to have received this. Love it. 

 

 

 

Cover Queen Whitening BB Cream SPF30 PA++. RRP $16

This is a nice dewy BB cream, however it is way too light for me. If I were to use it I would probably use it only under my eyes, along my cheek bones and maybe on my chin, then use my normal foundation. Either that or I might mix it with my normal foundation. I will try and get it to someone who can use it as intended though. It's a really big tube so it's a bit of a pity.

The Verdict

I'm really impressed with what this box has to offer. Unfortunately, the majority of the products aren't in shades I would use but you can't deny that it is a great value box. There is certainly some interesting products and some other products that I already love. Overall, I'm happy with this box - I could be happier, but I still think this is a good box. I'm excited to get my next one!
