Memebox Unboxing - Superbox Collagen

Hi guys, happy Saturday! Time for another Memebox unboxing... I'll link my last unboxing blogpost here if you haven't seen it already. 

This is also one of their Superboxes which contains all full size products. It's a box filled with beauty items that all have collagen in them. It's the Superbox #33, and again this one is sold out but like I said on my last Memebox blogpost they will bring back the popular ones just keep an eye on the site. If you don't know what Memebox is just click the link above of my last unboxing blogpost for full deets. 

Let me show you what's inside. This box contains 6 full size products with a total value of $186, and I paid $35 for it so you do the math. 

We all know that collagen is an anti-aging ingredient which is clinically proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. One can never do with too many collagen-enriched products as they illuminate and firm the skin as well as filling up fine lines and wrinkles while helping to maintain elasticity. Memebox claims that the products in this Collagen box has fast acting formulas that fight the loss of resilience in skin and plumps skin by supporting collagen production. I will report back to you guys once I have put them into test. 

1. Ramosu Carestory Collagen Extract 200 10ml ($36)

This one alone is the value of the box, amazing right?!!! This is a concentrated face serum that you use before your moisturiser in order to plump up the skin and make us look youthful. 

2. Dermahouse Collagen Firming Cream 30ml ($29)

A face cream claims to deeply moisturise, cancel fine lines and wrinkles as well as improve skin texture and clarity. 

3. Dewytree Real Collagen Nutrition Serum 50ml ($39)

A deeply moisturising serum that nourishes the skin, treats enlarged pores, sagging skin and signs of aging. Sounds wonderful right? Let's hope it does what it claims. Can't wait to try...

4. 3W Clinic Collagen Makeup Base 50ml ($30)

This is the only makeup item in the box and apparently it is a green coloured face primer that cancels redness and has blemish-control power as well as making your foundation adhere better and last all day long. 

5. The Skin House Wrinkle Collagen Free Spot 30ml ($28) 

It's a serum that you use where has fine lines and wrinkles like forehead, around the eye area as well as smile lines in order to nourish the skin and fill in any lines that you might have. 

6. abelle So Hot-Burning Concentrate Ampoule 20ml ($24)

This is a hair serum that claims to warm up by itself and absorb deeply into hair. It contains all sorts of high-tech ingredients as well as collagen of course to strengthen the hair as well as making your hair shiny and glowy. I actually used it on Wednesday night and I have to say it is fabulous. It makes my hair smell like candy and feel really light weight afterwards. But it doesn't "heat up" like it says on the bottle. I didn't feel anything although I did get a little on my face and it burnt like hell so be careful! I'll let you know more once I

A Couple of Hair Heroes

Hello beauties. Happy weekend! Today I wanna share with you all a couple of hair products that I have been testing out lately and quite frankly really enjoying. 

Let's start with this famous Surf Spray by Bumble and bumble. I am sure by now you all know what this is because everybody and their mother loves it, but in case you don't know, this is a saltwater based texturising spray that meant to give your hair a really nice beachy texture as well as volume. 

I find that this spray makes my hair kind of "sticky" but not in a bad way believe it or not, feels like my hair has been dampened by the sea water and air dried, it just looks so full with lots volume which I am really pleased because I have fine/flat/straight hair which is impossible to get some volume going on. I actually pair it with my Bumble and bumble Volumising Spray and the result is incredible. I also tried it on its own but all I get is the texture but as far as volume I just think it works its best with the volumising spray. Note: make sure to use a hair primer before hand because I just feel the texture lasts longer plus I get more volume. I am using the Living Proof Primer Style Extender which I have done a full blogpost on so if you are interested then click here. I think this spray works especially well on shorter hairs because the texture and the volume that you will get is just unspeakable. I am really digging it. 

Moving on to the next hair hero... It is something that I have never come across before as far as hair conditioner goes. It is from a Korean brand called abelle Premium Hair Care which I got from my Memebox Collagen Superbox. 

This is a silicone based hair serum with a very strange consistency, kind looks like a freshly squeezed apple juice with pulps in it. It contains collagen which is supposed to strengthen the hair and makes it shiny looking. It claims to warm up by itself so that the serum can be deeply absorbed into hairs which sounds very promising but to be honest with you I didn't feel the warmness at all. It to me is just a normal hair conditioner, but be careful though because I accidentally got a little bit of the product on my face and it burnt like hell so I guess it does heat up but I just didn't feel it on my hair. 

Regardless of the "heating" part I really do like this hair serum because it just makes my hair feel so soft, smooth and really really nourished. The difference between this and other conditioners that I have tried in the past is that it doesn't leave any residue after rinsing which I really like. I can feel when I rinse it off after leaving it on for about 20 minutes there was really nothing left on my hair and yet it manages to keep my hair silky smooth and soft. A big thumbs up for that because I just can't deal with the "slippery" residue feeling even after rinsing for like 10 minutes you know what I'm saying?! Ohh and may I just say that it smells delicious, like candy cane. Absolutely beautiful!!! 

To use, it is just like other hair conditioners: towel dry your hair after shampooing and remember to leave it on for at least 5 minutes, the longer you leave it on, the better result you are gonna get. 

abelle So Hot Burning Concentrate Ampoule comes in a little glass bottle which contains 20ml of product and it costs $24. I must say it is not the cheapest hair serum out there but it is definitely worth trying out, unfortunately it is exclusive to the box and cannot be purchased separately. I really do like this and wish it comes in a bigger bottle.

That's it guys. These 2 hair products have been rocking my hair routine lately and I hope you have enjoyed this post and if you do decide to give them a try please let me know in the comments below or tweet/instagram me @eflicciardello. Until next time...

Memebox Unboxing - Fermented Cosmetics 2 (Superbox #35)

Hi guys! If you follow me on Instagram you know that my Memeboxes have finally arrived after more than 3 months which is just ridiculous. Words cannot describe how much I dislike our custom service but what am I gonna do right?!!! 

Today I want to do an unboxing blogpost with you guys and just to show you what sort of items that you can find out of their Superboxes which contain all full size products price ranging from $30-$70. 

A little background info here for ya if you are not familiar with Memebox. It is a Korean skincare and makeup company that does "subscription" boxes, but what makes Memebox special is that you don't actually need to subscribe on their site you just choose and buy the boxes that you are interested in which is really neat in my opinion. All boxes are shipped from South Korea and the beauty items that you are gonna get are 100% Korean. There are 3 types of boxes that you can choose from: Memebox which contains deluxe samples and some full size products; Superbox which includes ALL full size products, and Luckybox which are some of their most wanted boxes that were sold out before and have been brought back due to the popularity if I'm not mistaken. I haven't been on their website for ages and some of the contents might have changed so I'll link their web page  for you so that you can check it out! 

I ordered 2 of their Superboxes and today I will unbox one of them with you. It's their Fermented Cosmetics 2 AKA Superbox #35. Unfortunately this box is sold out but just keep an eye on their website because they do bring back some of their most popular boxes every now and then and I believe this is one of them. This box contains 8 full size products which is an amazing value for what I've paid for ($32). They are all skincare items. The reason why I ordered this one was because Korea is famous for their skincare products and "fermented" cosmetics are very popular these days and apparently good for the skin. 

According to Memebox, Potent fermented ingredients help to deeply revitalise exhausted and dull skin for a dewy and healthy glow, while powerful antioxidants work to strengthen, condition and smooth skin to keep it supple and firm. Gentle enough for the most sensitive type yet powerful enough to diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles. I can't wait to try all of them as this does sound pretty promising. Will report back! 

As you can see here there was an disaster once was delivered to me. The box is wet and 2 of the items are ruined. I, to be honestly is not very impressed with the condition of the box but I'm still looking forward to using some of the products, and let's face it $32 for 6 full size products isn't even that bad so I'll live with it. 

I won't write down the detailed description on each item otherwise this post will be way too long. I'll include a photo of the description card below, and I will certainly blog about each item in details in the future! FYI some of the products in this box contain paraben so just bear that in mind if you are a "natural" kind of girl! 

1. Bocians Cycle Repair Whitening Spot 15ml ($24) (Serum)

2. cotterang Aesthetic Reparative-K Cream 20g ($43) (Moisturiser) 

3. cotterang Panda Eye Essence Mask 3ml * 3ea ($9) 

4. Tosowoong Time Shift Skin Toner 120ml ($34) 

I was very disappointed with this one because it came totally empty and I was really looking forward to try this. A complete shame!

5. The Skin House Face Calming Galactomyces Cream 30ml ($19) (Moisturiser)

6. SOYBIO + Fermented Soap 80g ($42) 

This is ruined by the Toner but I wasn't that sad to be honest as I don't use soap on my face. Well I don't use any face wash that forms as they dry out my skin.

7. DERMAHOUSE Galactomyces Wrinkle Care Essence Mask 30ml ($2) 

8. DRAN Wonder Serum 30ml ($42)

Total value of this box is $215 and I only paid $32 for it. This is an amazing value for money. Memebox is definitely worth checking out if you are into Korean beauty products. If you are like me and live in Italy just bear in mind that it will take ages to arrive because of the custom but I guess for  the rest of the world shipping speed should be standard. 

As I said before I will do full reviews on all of the products once I get to try them so stay tuned for that, and at the mean time comment or tweet me (@eflicciardello) if you have any problems regarding Memebox. 

Thank you so much for reading and the other Memebox unboxing will be up this Saturday. Have a lovely day beauties! Bye! Muahh!
