We took a major survey of the Memebox beauty community, i.e., our awesomely amazing and wonderful Memebox beauty bloggers, about which beauty products they are currently obsessing over, and complied a list of their top personal beauty picks! Our beauty bloggers are obsessed with these skin, hair, body, and makeup goodies – testing them, loving them, and preaching about them – and we’ve taken their top favorites and boxed it up into this Thumbs Up: Bloggers’ Picks Box!
Product description card
Everything from the box unpacked
The first product that I received in this box is the N.S.M ReBorn Tint (5g). This is a full size product and it was randomly selected from either the Sorbet Tint, the Sorbet Melting Tint, or the Exciting Snow Melting Tint. This item has a retail value of $18.
I received this in the Exciting Snow Melting Tint, which is the one I was hoping for. But at first, I was quite pissed at the color, orange like usual. I gave it a go though, and it’s a pretty light color which doesn’t show up as orange on my lips, thank God. It does feel rather nice on my lips, but I highly doubt that any reputable blogger picked a lip tint to be in a bloggers’ box. Oh well, I’ll try to make this work for me.
The next product that I received is the LadyKin Aqua Exfoliator For Body (150ml). This is also a full size product and it is valued at $14.
I really love the brand LadyKin and they have a lot of really great products, and the concept of this product is really neat and interesting. Sounds like just the sort of thing I would be really into. But I’ve heard from so many people that this actually doesn’t do much of anything, so that’s quite a let down for me. I’m going to give it a try and see for myself, but I’m not going to get my hopes up
The third product that was included is the Croquis Dual Concealer (8.1g). This is another full size product an it’s valued at $27.
I received this concealer in the Girls Night Out box, and I thought it was alright. Nothing special, but not terrible either. I was just really shocked that a product from that box made it into this box, as it wasn’t a box that sold very well at all, and I can’t imagine any blogger liking something from that box well enough to highly recommend it.
The next product that was selected for this box is the HAIR+ Velvet Nutri-Injection (12ml). This is a full size product and it has a retail value of $5.
This is such a tiny hair product, like really little. I hope that a little goes a long way with this, because I have long, thick, wavy hair that soaks up product like a sponge. I’m actually really happy to receive a hair product, but I’m just not sure how much use I’ll be able to get out of this tiny little thing :p
The fifth product from this box is the Evas Cosmetics Vitamin Cleansing Dessert (130g). This is also a full size product and it was randomly selected from either Berry Mix, Lemon, Red Wine, or Coconut & Cacao. This item has a value of $18.
Now this is a product that I have been wanting to try for a while now. A lot of people were unhappy that this was included because they already have a few of these, but I didn’t buy any of the boxes that included this product, so I’m very happy to receive one now. I got the Lemon cleanser, and while I would have preferred the wine or the chocolate one, I’m happy with the one I got 🙂
Next up is the 23 Years Old Air-laynic Pore Mask (1 ea). This is another full size product and it’s worth $14.
Now this is pretty interesting. I love any type of pore masks and I’ve never used something like this before, so I actually am a bit excited about this! Can’t wait to give it a try on my day off tomorrow and see how much I like it and how it compares to my other pore masks 🙂
The next product from this box is the Purebess Galactomyces 100% (50ml). This is another full size product and it has a retail value of $15.
This was the spoiler for this box and it was the ONE product that bloggers’ actually picked :p At first I thought this was a sample size, but a little must go a really long way with this. I’ve never tried this before, but I have heard some really great rave reviews about it from some bloggers whom I really trust, so I’m thrilled to have this! 🙂
The last item that I received from this box is the Secret Key Color Recipe The Pink Cream (55g). This is a full size product and it has a retail value of $34.
I received this same cream from the Pinkaholic box a few months ago, and I don’t even know if I like it yet or not as I have yet to try it out. I have SO many face creams at the moment, so I’m working my way up to it. I sure hope I do like it though, as now I have 2 of them. If not, then this one will be gifted or traded to someone else.
Overall Thoughts: I really think that Memebox missed the mark on this one. If the box would have been called anything else besides Bloggers’ Picks, then it would have been a fine box. But when you call this a Bloggers’ Picks box and only include 1 product that bloggers actually picked, then that’s pretty crappy. As far as I’m concerned, I’ll be okay with using mostly everything from this box, but I can definitely see why so many people were pissed off about this box. Memebox has been going downhill lately it seems, and that makes me so sad. I really hope everything goes back to the way it was, because I miss the old Memebox 😦 I paid over $30 for this including shipping and received a box value of $145.
