So here is the card with information’s about products that came in the box (click for bigger image):

In this box you could receive 6 full size products which memebox valued at $172.00. Now let’s take a closer look at the goods. 

• Nadu Ski The First Love Pack (6$)

Here´s to a truely OMG product in the history of Memebox - specially designed mask packs for a female´s and male´s Y-zone (definately not for facial use!!) - to be used to moisture and treat the most sensitive yet uncared part of the body. They´re formulated with lavender flower water and various mosturizing nutrients and each designed to perfectly fit female and male body.

My thoughts: Let’s be clear, I do love sheet masks, at last ones you use on your face. Here we are getting sheet masks but for intimate parts of man’s and women’s body, well that’s for sure OMG. Frankly speaking I am at the same time intrigued by this product but also scared to use it. Honestly it’s super weird and not knowing ingredients list doesn’t help at all.

Both masks are made from bio-cellulose and they supposed to moisturize and nourish your skin. First one is obviously for him and it has black raspberry essence. The one for her should have pomegranate essence but like I mentioned I can’t find ingredients list of those things so I can’t be sure what exactly they contain. 

• Pureplus+ Cocoon Returning Toner 200ml (18$)

Replenish, control excess sebum, remove dead skin cells and impurities and brighten up dulled complexion with this returning toner packed with cocoon extracts, witch hazel and various vitamins to make your face look and feel younger.

My thoughts: That’s interesting product for sure. The OMG factor is the fact this toner has silkworm cocoon extract. I actually heard about this ingredient before and also it seems it’s good for acne prone skin. 

As you can see, ingredients list in general isn’t really bad. We have some good things in it like witch hazel at second position or lemon or aloe extract later on. Also we have alcohol really high so I wouldn’t recommend this toner  for people with dry skin.

Normally I use toners by purring them on my hands and then taping them into my face but because of alcohol I used old-school cotton pad method ;). The product itself is almost like water, since it’s normal toner not gely one. I was surprised by scent, I expected to smell alcohol, but actually it does have pretty nice smell. I could sense some herbs but at the same time it was quite sweet scent. After using it my face felt a bit hydrated. I also hope it will lighten my dark spots as it has niacinamide very high in ingredients list. Anyway, so far so good.

• Abalone Crystal Double EX Cream 50ml (78$)

This Abalone Crystal Double EX Cream is concentrated with fermented Abalone, balck bean extract and watermelon extract to deliver a cosmic blast of skin care benefits. Fresh "abalones" from the Southern Coast of Korea are highly recognized as the King of Shellfish with their mucin containing abundant minerals, proteins, amino acids and essential fatty acids to provide remarkable skin revitalizing, wrinkle reducing, skin brightening and hydrating benefits. It also soothes irritated skin and anhances the skin´s elasticity to deliver visible anti-aging results with each use.

My thoughts: At first I didn’t know why it’s OMG product as I had no idea what abalone is. Then I googled it and yeah OMG. I used to snail mucin in cosmetics but that is different story. I like to try new, crazy things because mostly they end up being amazing. So what the heck abalone is?

Abalone is a common name for any of a group of small to very large edible sea snails.

Each The abalone is well known not only for its taste, but also for its remarkable effects on the skin, such as skin irritation relief, skin revitalization, wrinkle reduction, whitening effect, and moisturizing effect.

Containing pure energy 20 times higher than human skin cells, Abalone has full of vital contents such as Minerals, protein, amino acids, and essential fatty acids. It makes skin cells much activity. Moreover it promotes the vitality of the skin and you could regain your skin’s softness.

Everything sounds so good and promising. I quite like the package of cream. The jar is really heavy and solid  which reminds me of expensive western creams my mom uses. The texture of cream surprised me a bit. I was sure it will be rather creamy but also sticky (like Bounce Cheese Cream) but it’s really thick, like super thick. Despite that it goes really smooth on skin leaving it soft and hydrated. It does have strong scent, which reminds me of some expensive fragrance and also that smell lasts quite long. I can’t use this cream under make-up but I think it can be great as night cream, especially in winter.

• Shara Shara Secret Magic Lipstick (8$)

A secret, color-transforming lipstick which offers a highly pigmented radiance, a long-lasting adherance and a moisture lock in all in one single swipe. Experience how it magically changes its shade according to the temperature of your lips! It´s gentle formula is enriched with Avocado oil and topopheryl acetate which effectively protects lips from dehydration.

My thoughts: You could receive one of those three: 01 Sky to Pop Pink, 02 Green to Pink, 03 Yellow to Mango. I didn’t found this product OMG at all at first since colour changing lipsticks are well known to me (I have here in mind lipsticks that have particular colour and give totally different  colour on the lips). What was new to me is colour which changes together with temperature. 

I received green one but I know that only from information on package.  As you can see lipstick turned to gross, grey colour. Apparently it’s due to high temperature changes. The fact is, after some time laying around it got more green colour but still it’s not as on the picture. I do hope it will go back to normal because now I’m a bit scared to use it on my lips and truth to be told I really would like to try this on them. The colour this lipstick gives is really interesting. If you apply 1 layer it’s light pink (top one on the picture) but you can build up colour to stronger nicely. Also at first swatches I made were quite pastel but after some time (I assume my body got warmer or something) they turned more vibrant, which I liked. Smell of the lipstick is lovely too – it’s sweet like avocado with some fruit. What surprised my was staying power. It was really hard to wipe off, almost like tint.

• Dr. MJ Moisture Bounce Aqua Memory BB SPF30PA++ 45g (46$)

Yes we´ve been through a BB cream, but what about a bouncy, jelly like BB packaged in a bottle and scooping using a spatula like any other face cream? Dr. MJ Moisture Bounce Aqua Memory BB adheres tightly onto skin with it´s cushiony texture and offers wrinkle care, UV protection and skin brightening effect as well.

My thoughts: This is the reason I got this box. Lately I’m so into bb creams and even if I have way too much of them I can’t stop myself from getting another. Also I really have a thing for Dr. Mj brand. I suppose it’s OMG product because it’s in a jar and honestly speaking I never seen bb cream in the jar so yeah I think I can say it’s OMG worth product. Despite that I prefer products in tubes. I was planning to make my own cushion so I will probably use this product for that.

I’m not sure why it has ,,bounce” in the name. In my opinion it isn’t bouncy at all but still I do like formula of it – it’s really creamy and easy to blend in. I hate thick, strongly pigmented bb creams, they just look ugly on my face. Unfortunately I can’t use this bb cream just now as it’s simply too dark for my face. I hope it will fit me perfectly in summer when my skin will catch some sun. 

• Purebess Hot Styling Hair Fixer (16$)

No it´s not a hair spray or a wax gel cream. It´s a hair fixer that you can apply multiple times consecutively because the formula is a non-sticky and lightweight formula and it´s shaped in an easy to use mascara-like package! Simply wipe away to fix up and style any loose loose hair for that perfect stewardess look.

My thoughts: Actually I have seen similar product before on some Korean site and I wanted to try it since then so I’m really happy getting it in here. I think it’s OMG product, because I can’t buy such thing in my local shops and for sure it’s quite untypical product. I really like the idea of it. I hate to use gels, waxes, sprays actually anything to style my hair, because my hair really thin and if I use anything on them, they just look so ugly and unnatural. At the same time I’m often annoyed by messy hair that stick out from my hairline so I think this product can be great solution for me. What’s most important to me, after applying it on my hair I couldn’t feel any sickness and my hair wasn’t harsh and stiff. Basically you can achieve what this product promises but I’m not sure how long this effect will last.

Overall: I quite like this box. I’m really happy with cream, bb cream and toner and also hair fixer will be really useful to me. The lipstick would be quite nice if not that weird colour of it. The only thing which  is quite meh is masks but they gave this box OMG factor and well they made me laugh :). I suppose all those items had something weird in them, more or less so I think they fitted the theme.
