Memebox Starter Set #3 Intro to Tea


What memebox stated about this box: 

Here's a guide to a mix of full-sized natural remedies to address all your skin care concerns! Teas are natural wonders that have long been touted for their countless health and beauty benefits! Great for K-Beauty beginners and K-Beauty holics alike, this Intro to Tea set packs a punch with natural yet potent tea infused cosmetics that work to brighten dark spots, clear pores of impurities and perfect a glowing complexion.

This set includes: $159 value for $40 + Free Shipping

Lately I’m not very happy with regular memeboxes, but I find sets amazing. Boxes got more expensive and mostly they have only 5 products, which one of them for sure will be something cheap like hand cream. For this particular set I paid about $5 more than for box (most of boxes are now $29+$7 shipping), and from the very beginning I knew it was worth my money. Actually, this set is really similar to memebox tea box, which I bought several months ago, but in this set we are also getting two, full-sized A-true products – and that’s a reason why I decided to get this set. I read amazing reviews about this brand, so I decided to give it a shoot ;). 

Since link with descriptions of products can disappear shortly, I decided to edit information which memebox provided on their site. 


  • A·TRUE White Snow Tea Brilliant Essence 40ml ($55)
My thoughts: It has very interesting ingredients list and apparently 83% of black tea water. I have a lot of post acne blemishes on my face so I will be able to test its whitening/brightening promises, that is after I will finish essences I am using now ;). For now, it’s the product I’m excited the most. For more information, you can go to A-true website, which is in English hurray. 

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Water(32,880mg), 1,2-Hexanediol, Dipropylene Glycol, Niacinamide, Triethylhexanoin, Phenyl Trimethicone, Panthenol, Salix nigra (Willow) Bark Extract, Hydrogenated Lecithin, **Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract(13mg), Viscum Album (Mistletoe) Ferment Extract, Imperata Cylindrica Root Ferment Extract, Ficus Carica (Fig) Fruit Extract, Punica Granatum Fruit Extract, Morus Alba Fruit Extract, Ginkgo Biloba Nut Extract, Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Dimethicone, Sodium Polyacrylate, Polyurethane-39, Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Propanediol, Fragrance, Water, Disodium EDTA


  • A·TRUE Himalaya Black Tea Watery Gel Cream 50g ($49)
My thoughts: It’s second and last A-true product in this set. Actually in the tea box I received sample size of it together with sample of white snow essence and several others A-true products. I still haven’t tested them out, since I am saving them for vacations. Despite that I know many people liked it. Ingredients list is much worse than essence, mostly because of alcohol. I was planning to use this cream in summer and now I will for sure do so, since alcohol shouldn’t be so bad at that time of a year, when my skin gets quite oily. More at A-true website

  • A;T FOX Gyoolpy Tea Fresh Water 100ml ($10)
My thoughts: So this and following products I already got in tea box. I hadn’t chance to test it out yet, because I decided to save it for travel since it’s really small and nice to carry in bag. I don’t mind to get back-up, I use a lot of mists especially in summer.


  • A;T FOX Tea Toc Water Clear Tablet 4g ($2)
My thoughts: I received this tablet several times already and I couldn't bring myself to test it. It does look like interesting product but the fact you need to use sink or basin just throws me off.


  • E CHOICE Fermented Tea Skin Drinks Sleeping Pack 70g ($2)
My thoughts: This product I actually opened. I use it time to time but I’m still not sure what to think about it. It has really weird but also fun texture, at first it’s like gel but when you put it on your face you can feel water melting into your skin, if it does make any sense ;D. I do like that feeling. I think it does hydrate pretty nicely overnight but I think it might have alcohol. I couldn’t find ingredients list so it’s just me guessing. The fact is, sometimes my skin itches after putting this pack, mostly around my nose. Because of that I’m not sure if I will open another one of it.


  • THE SKIN HOUSE Lavender Lightening Emulsion 120ml ($41) 
My thoughts: Emulsion from my tea box I sold and only because I thought I will be unable to use it before expiration date. Later I kind of regretted it since it looked like really interesting product. This time I think I will test it :).

Overall: I think I shouldn’t buy mysterious boxes anymore. I tend to be more happy knowing what actually I will receive. I am really happy with this set, mostly because of A-true. Price of any product form this brand is similar to price of this whole set so it was totally worth it.
