Meme box Cutie Pie Marzia

Me and The Hub are on serious Korea planning at the moment and with that in mind I thought I would share with you this Meme Box I got for Christmas.  It is one of their blogger collaboration ones by Cutie Pie Marzia, I am not familiar with her but she is apparently Italian and more of a Vlogger than a blogger is what I got from Google.  Anyhow what's in the box?




The box is different to the usual hot pink Meme box and is quite pretty with a heart made up of flowers on it.
 So it contained a very kitsch Tony Moly Appletox cream which is worth $12.00.  The packaging is super camp shaped like an apple and it is has a delicious smell like apples. It is textured more like a honey and I think will be more suitable for summer than these winter months.


It also had a Cheekroom lip balm Clover worth allegedly $12.00 and with a cherry scent, nice usable but not earth shattering.  A Shara Shara Petit Friend Matte Lip Crayon worth $11.00 I got the Salmon Orange which as I have a concern about my teeth looking yellow is about the worse colour I could have got, which is a shame cos it looks cute and nice, I just wish I had got Neon Pink or Red.  Then there was a Shara Shara Triple Shine Shadow in Colbat Blue worth $15.00 not the worst colour for me but I don't know how much use I will get as I tend to stick with light neutrals and eyeliner, also as much as I love Kawaii this packaging could be a bit too childlike for me.


Then there was a Jeju Hallabong Energy Mild All-In-One Serum with a retail price of $20.00, it is a vitamin C serum and I always liked The Body Shop one so I have high hopes for this one, although I am using a Bee Venom serum at the moment from another box so I have to say I haven't tried it much but it has a nice smell and texture.


The Final Product is Revecen Face Control Foundation in Violet worth $22.00 to cover up skin imperfections and balance yellow tones.  I have used this a few times and I do like it but it does seem to make me a little white but provides a nice even base for under your foundation.


So this was my Meme box it is always a bit random but I find it always has at least two products I really love in it.  Overall this wasn't my best box ever but I was pretty happy with it and will definitely use the Foundation, serum and cream even if the make up isn't really me.  It cost $23.00 and had free postage so all in all I feel like it was a bargain.

It's soooooooo Cute! - Meme Box Cute Wishlist 3

Anyone who knows me know I am a little bit South Korea obsessed, a day watching vlogs on You Tube of Seoul, Guilty as charged, and I have long been curious about South Korean Cosmetics and Skincare as I had heard good things on the internet and Vlogs like Eat Your Kimchi!  So when I saw on Adventures in Tea and Cake Blog  (The very lovely Kelly is another South Korea fan only she has actually been there) there is a American company that ships South Korean Beauty Boxes to the UK, I was well up for one of those bad boys.

As I love a bit of Kawaii and Kitsch I indulged in a cute box, so what was in it.


Inside was a Youngwoosa Oh! It's lovely and Soft Cream with a reccomended retail of $47.00 and a ddung Family Foam Cleanser which retails normally at $12.00


These are the only products I have tried and I will start with the cleanser, the blurb that comes with it has a lovely foamy consistency almost like a shaving foam when mixed with water and left my face feeling squeaky clean but I think it would be a bit drying for my skin.  However the Oh! It's lovely and soft cream has the makings of a winner it soothed the tightness after the wash and left my dryish skin feeling hydrated and plumped up.  It also is quite an attractive little pot to have on your side.


Talking of packaging I also got this splendid Shara Shara Fairy's Make-up Synergy Sun cream which I haven't tried yet but the blurb tells me offers a SPF 45 and will create a synergy effect with base make up that will help balance out uneven skin tone, so if the blurb is to be believed a super SPF BB cream, count me in and to be honest even if it is naf I really like the packaging it appeals to my inner 7 year old girl.


Last but not least I received some Tony Moly Red Cheeks Girl Patch which claims to give moisture relief to dry rosy cheeks, a Shara Shara kissing sugar scrub which is in the cute tin with the girls face and in the leopard print tub there is a Hope Girl tinted lip balm in pink, it looks very vivid in the tub but I think it will go on a nice sheer colour.

I was impressed that these were all full sizes and I think came to about £16.00 with postage the downside was that they take a little while to come.

Unfortunately the My Cute Wishlist 4 has already sold out, but there are other cool boxes such as The Wonder Woman Box here and no you don't have to thank me just enjoy!
