Hi there!
One more box to unbox for today! It is the loved Memebox Special #31 Earth & Sea Cosmetics. This box was $29 USD and per the usual, I chose the Standard shipping for $6.99. This box was filled to the brim with 6 full sized products!
Item #1:
Super Aqua Cooling Gel by Tosowoong
This jar contains 80g of product
Price: $34
Product Description: "The Super Aqua Cooling Gel is an ultra-cooling cream gel that provides long-lasting freshness and comfort to the face and body. Full of minerals and nutrients from glacier waters, this gel is ideal for cooling overheated skin and relieving irritated skin. Deep sea minerals also strengthen and moisturize skin so that you can have firm and supple skin all day long."
This product is very HEAVY. I think its due to the fact that it is a glass jar. The texture of this cream is gel like and does seem perfect for the summer since it is so light. It also does smell really good and fresh.
Item #2:
Volcanic Ash Pore Pack by Secret Nature
This jar has 100g worth of product
Price: $36
Product Description: "Enriched with organic Jeju complex and mineral rich volcanic ash, charcoal, green tea, and pine needle extracts, this Volcanic Ash Pore Pack works wonders for controlling excess sebum and tightening enlarged pores. Plus, it's free of paraben, artificial fragrance, and artificial coloring, and suitable for all skin types."
I was pretty excited to see this as a spoiler item for this box. I love clay masks and am super excited to try this out. It does have a more earthy scent but I presume that is from the volcanic ash and charcoal. I also think its a plus that it is made of organic ingredients.
Item #3:
Mineral healthy Sun Cut Loose Powder SPF36 PA++ by Dewytree
This item contains 10g
Price: $34
Product Description: "Dewytree's loose powder is enriched with natural minerals and essential oil for maintaining your skin's moisture level and leaving a long-lasting ilky finish to yor makeup. Plus, it has a UV protection level of SPF36 PA ++and uses an air pocket puff that does not clog the pores with powder application."
I'm not sure how this product has to do with the earth and sea but it is a nice product to have. I think that it's nice that they have also included a spare puff for replacement so that I can keep it clean.
Item #4:
Black Charcoal Mask Purifying by Shara Shara
This item includes one sheet mask
Price: $2
Product Description: "Shara Shara's Black Charcoal mask contains high concentrates of charcoal powder and volcanic ash complex for clearing your skin of dirt, impurities, and sebum clogging up your pores. It also works to soothe and protect sensitive skin with its wine and aloe vera leaf formula."
I know that I've said this already but I do love my sheet masks but, again, I wished that they would offer more than one mask. I can't wait to try this mask out as I have never tried a charcoal mask before but I do know the benefits of charcoal and how good it is for our skin. With that being said, I welcome all charcoal and volcanic ash and will smoother my face with all of that goodness. haha
Item #5:
Elastic Pore Mask Cleansing Foam by Elizavecca
This tube contains 120ml of product
Price: $29
Product Description: "Made from 6,000mg of charcoal, 3,000mg of collagen from pig skin, and spider extracts, the Elastic Pore Mask Cleansing Foam is a mask and a facial cleanser all in one. As weird as the combination of charcoal, collagen, and sipder extracts sounds, this black mask will penetrate deep into your pores, clearing away all dead skin cells and blackheads with bubbles as fine as a spider web. A quick 5 minutes every day is all you ever need to treat enlarged pores and excess skin impurities!"
First of all, SPIDER EXTRACTS?! (No actual spiders were harmed in the making..after some research, it is a man-made protein that mimics the spider extract) How gross does that sound?! Second of all, how cute is the packaging? Doesn't it vaguely remind you of Charlotte's Web? I am quite intrigued with this product.
Item #6:
Spa Water 24 Hours Moisturizing Refreshing Mist by Ariul
This mist contains 100ml of product
Price: $18
Product Description: "Ariul SPA WATER 24 hours Moisturizing Refreshing Mist is made from pure spa water extracted straight from Belgium rich in minerals and various amino acids. The Mist works to deliver an instant replenishment into your skin, creating a moisture barrier for preventing any dehydration for all day long. It can also be used as a boosting serum for enhancing absorbance of other skincare products."
I am quite excited for this product as I intend to use this product as a boosting serum since I currently do not have one. I can't wait to try this one out since I know that boosting serums are quite handy, especially since the Asian skincare routine are all about layering the products.
Overall, I believe that this box was one of the better Memeboxes that I have gotten. Everything is full sized and I know that I will use everything inside of the box. I love the contents of this box and I definitely think it was worth the money.
Least favorite item in the box: I chose to start with the least favorite item in this box because I only really disliked one item and that was only because it didn't stick within the theme of the box. And that item is, of course, the Mineral healthy sun cut loose powder. Although, I do love the product just that this item was kind of the odd ball of the box.
Favorite item in the box: EVERYTHING ELSE! I love everything else included in the box
Thank you for reading!
XOXO
