MeMeBox Review: ColourBox #1 Red

MeMeBox Review: ColourBox #1 Red

So, I too jumped into the MeMeBox bandwagon (if you don’t know what it is about, go HERE), though I have tons and tons of things to do away with right now. (New place,shifting, etc after marriage) I am not buying anything new these days. But I wanted to try the MeMeBox since I had been hearing a lot about it.

About MeMeBox: Memebox is the #1 Korean beauty online retailer in the world.

Many of our products are sourced, packaged, and shipped, directly from Korea straight to your doorstep.

We also have a range of USA Exclusives, which include products most-loved by our USA customers – these ship directly from our USA warehouse.

We ship to 51 countries internationally: see if yours is on the list.

At Memebox, we’re committed to bringing you only the best – we’ll make sure it’s worth the wait.

They have 2-3 different kind of boxes, Original and Superbox.

The original Memebox comes packed with 4 – 8 full-sized products and deluxe samples.

SUPERBOX

Each Superbox comes with its own theme, and contains only full-sized items. Each month, we team up with style icons to curate special Superboxes featuring each collaborator’s favorite items – keep an eye on these, they sell out fast!

Also there are different boxes for different themes, and you have one for everything from scrubs to skin type to favourite color to hair care,etc.

Its been a long long time I ordered this, sorry for the delay in reviewing. I am running behind schedule on everything coz I am caught up with shopping and other stuff too. I got the ColourBox, they had three colours: red, orange and pink options if I am not wrong. (They have added a new Blue too) I went for the Red one.

About the Red Colour Box: Hey foxy ladies! Dare to step out of your comfort zone with our Memebox Red and vamp up your style with a dramatic, rosy red look? Add vibrance and vividness to your eyes and lips with a bold red hue, slip on those stiletto heels, and be that femme fatale that we all know you are.

What’s your favorite beauty color?
Spice up your life with some color and get your hands on 3 to 4 beauty products (full products and deluxe samples) at only $15.
Get your hands on 3 to 4 of the hottest beauty products straight from Korea.

MRP: $15.00

Shipping method: Standard Shipping
Shipping cost: $6.99
Estimated shipping time: 15~25 business days

It comes in a nice red colored packaging and 5 full sized products with details of each.

What I got in my box:

  • Dearberry Flirt Lipstick in 08 Red Parade ($12)
  • L’Ocean Eyeshadow L-35 Red 4g ($10)
  • The Cheek Room Two Color Lip Gloss 8ml ($12) (Super cute)
  • Tosowoong Gel Pencil Liner 1.2g in Burgundy ($10)
  • Dearberry Today Nail Lacquer #21 Pink Sprinkling 10 ml ($3)

The Dearberry red lipstick is an absolutely amazing and flattering red. The Cheek Room lipgloss is the cutest I have seen, did not own a two colour lipgloss ever. I love the nail paint shade too. I wont be using the red eyeshadow as an eyeshadow, I think it will make a pretty blush.

The best thing in the box is the Tosowong Makeon Burgundy gel eyeliner pencil. Always wanted to try a gel eye pencil which is quite famous in Korean makeup. Its a nice reddish brown burgundy color.

Having paid $15+ $7 = $22, I get $47 worth of products which is an amazing deal! And all MeMeBoxes are so worth it, coz you get much more value of products than what you pay. One actual beauty box where you end up getting something unlike small 5ml samples.

Since it was only one box, I was not charged with customs. But I have heard about few others having to pay huge customs, so that is one deterrent. If you do not stay in Mumbai and there are’nt much customs issues, you should definitely try this. Or I did suggest order one at a time, and not 2-3 together coz that definitely attracts customs.

You can buy it HERE (Its currently sold out, but they may stock soon). Also check out other boxes which are equally amazing.

April My Envy Box Review

April My Envy Box Review

For those of you who don’t know what My Envy Box is..read HERE…and check out my Feb box HERE and March box HERE.

MRP: Rs.850/-

If you follow me on Instagram, you must have seen the pic of the products I got..

This time the box was a nice pink colored one..I loved it..always their boxes and packaging..though the cute pouch was missing this time..I guess coz 1-2 products were big in size..

There was also this 10% off coupon for the site www.monsoonandbeyond.com

Products I got:

  • Benefit Porefessional– 0.15 ml sachet
  • SkinYoga Almond Orange Face Scrub – 5.67g
  • Avene Sensitive White Whitening Essence -3ml
  • Za True White Day Cream– 5g
  • H2O+ Sea Moss Replenishing Body Wash– 60ml

Ok, so coming to the products..I only liked the SkinYoga and H2O+ samples..and I wanted to try out Za..so kinda that though 5g is too less..I am not a fan or endorser of Whitening products..so Avene Whitening Essence is not what I would really choose, if given an option..

And let me not talk about Benefit Porefessional..coz 0.15ml is too less for even one time use :/ Few boxes had Benefit Fake Up Concealer..and that was still a decent sample..I would have preferred if they would have sent some other brand’s deluxe sample rather than Benefit !

So the April box was a mixed bag..I liked only 2 products..I hope next month’s box has something better..I mean 0.15 or even 1-2 ml products should be avoided in my honest opinion ! ‘You know what I mean’ :p (Did you watch the Sonam Kapoor’s Koffee with Karan episode ? If not, go watch now 😀 )

March My Envy Box Review

March My Envy Box Review

Hey everyone, if you don’t already know about My Envy Box..read HERE
My Jan box HERE
My Feb box HERE
So coming to the recent March box which I received few days back..its a peach colored box again..they had planned a nice orchid color..the Pantone color for this year..but due to some issues..they could not use those boxes.

And also in this March month’s box, 10 lucky people have got Pipa Bella jewellery ! Are you that lucky one ? I am not :/

MRP: Rs.850/- per box every month

You know how the products come inside this cute colorful cloth pouch..and there are cards for the products’ name and discount coupon to buy the full sized from their site,if you liked the samples.

This time there was an additional card of 20% off for Pipa+Bella jewellery..

Products I received :
  • Eminence Organics Sour Cherry Whipped Moisturizer
  • Issey Miyake Leau Dissey Homme Sport samples
  • Narciso Rodriguez for her samples (Smells amazing !)
  • Avene Thermal Very High Protection Sunscreen SPF50 (5ml)
  • Rene Furterer Okara Protect Color Radiance Enhancing Shampoo (15ml)
  • Innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask samples
The two perfume samples are tooo tiny..I would have liked small vials instead..I have never colored my hair..so the Rene Furterer Color Protect Shampoo is of not much use..I already have the full sized Innisfree Volcanic Clay Pore Mask..so nothing new to try there..only loved the Sour Cherry Moisturizer and Avene Sunscreen (5ml) also lasted about 3 uses.
 
I loved the Feb box the most..not too impressed with this one..I hope April has something better in store..I am waiting for those new makeup brands 😀

February My Envy Box Review

February My Envy Box Review

If you follow me on Instagram, you must have seen My Envy Box pictures I had posted..I am loving this month’s My Envy Box..
If you don’t know about My Envy Box, read HERE.
And plus there is one bonus product this time..so there are six in total..there is one Givenchy perfume sample for the man in your life..in this Valentine month..and the Valentin Special box.
I loved my peach colored box. Check my January box HERE. Also loved the colorful cloth bag it came in..
I also got this letter..which says if you invite one friend and she joins, you get one month’s box for free 😀 And also the boxes in the coming months..very interesting ones..and the new makeup brands that are going to be a part..I am expecting Givenchy :p
MRP: Rs.850/-
The products I received:
  • Givenchy Gentleman Only (Smells Awesome!)
  • Givenchy Dahlia Noir (Loved it too)
  • Thalgo Collagen Cream- 2ml x 2
  • Rene Furterer Carthame Moisturizing Milk Shampoo- 15ml
  • Eminence Organics Chocolate Mousse Hydration Masque
  • Forest Essentials Sugared Rose Petal Lip Balm- Full size – 5g
The best part in the box for me was the Forest Essentials lip balm..it smells amazing..and the full size balm costs Rs.595/- which almost covers the 3/4th price of the box..loved both the Givenchy perfumes too..and the Eminence Organics Chocolate Masque. I would have liked the Crabtree & Evelyn Hand Cream instead of the Thalgo Collagen Cream and/or Rene Furterer Shampoo though.
You also get cards for 10% off on all these products on their site. Also, there is a special Givenchy consultation, makeover and a surprise gift card.
Overall I loved the box and products..except for 1-2 here and there as mentioned. But I am surely hooked to it ! Highly recommended. You can get yours HERE.

Maybelline Instaglam Valentine Edition Box

Maybelline Instaglam Valentine Edition Box

Remember the Maybelline Instaglam Christmas Edition box I posted about..see the link.

Well, Maybelline has come up with a Valentine Special Edition again..and let me tell you, the box has even more awesome stuff..
My favorite Color Tattoo and their very recent launch Lip Polish. And the Colossal Kajal, Hypercurl Mascara and the Color Show Nail Paint are still there as in the previous box.
With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, Maybelline New York has put together an extravagant spread of products in our Limited Edition InstaGlam Box.The InstaGlam Box contains a variety of Maybelline’s hottest products, in a single box!
I loved the pink box with a heart..super cute packaging !
It contains the Colossal Kajal, Color Show Nail Color, Hypercurl Mascara, Color Tattoo and our newest best selling product, Lip Polish. 
Furthermore we even have 3 color variants – Red, Pink and Coral! 
Mine is the Coral one I am guessing..though the nail paint is red i.e. Keep Up the Flame..the lip polish is Glam 16 which is a rosy brown with golden shimmer..and the color tattoo is Fierce and Tangy..i.e. the orange one..
The total price of these products comes to Rs.1300/- but this box is available on all sites online for a price of Rs.999/- Its soo worth it..just go and grab..boys and husbands..please get it for your girlfriends and wives this Valentine’s..they are surely going to love it !!

I also got this letter..

Though its a little expensive, but then if you get luxury, you have to spend a little too..and many a times when you buy an expensive product, you would’nt really know before hand if the product would suit you and work for you..so here you get a chance to try out the luxury deluxe samples..and see what works for you..and then go ahead and buy the full sized from their site itself..and also get a discount on it..

The box and the packaging is pretty nice..the box is real sturdy and good quality with a magnetic flip on the side..in this month’s box, there is one extra sample instead of regular five..so we have six..

What I got in my box:
  • Elie Saab Perfume Samples (4)
  • Thalgo Clearing Corrector (2 x 2ml)
  • Thalgo Brightening Regulating Essence (2 x 2ml)
  • Rene Furterer Karite Intense Nourishing Shampoo (15ml)
  • Rene Furterer Karite Intense Nourishing Mask (15ml)
  • Eminence Organic Beauty Caramel Latte Tinted Moisturiser SPF 25 (2 x 3ml)

So as you can see all the brands are luxury..and the samples are pretty generous too..I only wish they include 1-2 items of makeup too….maybe a Zoya nail paint could have been a part of this box..coz I have generally seen skin care only in most of their boxes..and also if there can be customised samples according to the skin or hair problems one faces..


Overall, I would say its quite a nice beauty box..and a great way to try out luxury brands..and especially those who love skin care..Highly recommend !

You can book you box HERE.

After the Blisscovered and  GlossyBox fiasco, it is a little difficult to trust on these boxes again..but then here comes the Velvette Box..and it sure looks promising..so far all good..and I have heard all good stuff about them untill now..

Its a monthly subscription box where you get 3 luxury samples each month delivered to your doorstep..at the cost of Rs.399/- and they do have Cash on Delivery too..plus you get 16% off on yearly subscription..they also send discount vouchers for the samples if in case you want to buy it..

They have a whole shop category..where they sell all brands online including Crabtree & Evelyn, L’occitane, Paul Mitchell, etc..

Currently this month they have Clarins, The Body Shop, L’occitane, Crabtree & Evelyn, Clinique and some different perfume vials..

Let’s move on to the box..

It comes in this black cardboard packaging with a pink ribbon around..cute..

And whats inside the box..

Clinique Different Lipstick in Raspberry Glace and Long Lasting Lip Gloss in Fireberry, Clarins Gentle Exfoliator Brightening Toner, L’occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream and a small 1.5 ml perfume vial of Jesus Del Pozo Ambar..

I have used the L’occitane Lavender Hand Cream before..and I would have preferred the Crabtree & Evelyn one though..

But nonetheless..all things are good..the toner sounds nice..and I loved the lipstick too..the hand cream is super small and cute and perfect for the handbag 😉 And I do like this concept of getting to try 3 new things every month at the cost of Rs. 399/-
