Memebox My Pouch Essentials

November 13th, 2014 was the last time I placed an order from Memebox before they discontinued international shipping to all countries except for Korea and the US. 

Cost: $52.99 (purchased as a value set with "Oh My Lips") - I had Memepoints and a discount code which lowered the overall cost to around $38 for both (or $19 each if you want to get technical...)

This was shipped on December 8th last year, so over 10 months ago now...



The always wonderful Memebox information card!

This box wasn't as full as other boxes, but it still contained 6 items, which seems pretty standard. They just happened to be smaller items this time.

Kwailnara Perfume de Moist Hand Cream in Glam Savanna
Size: 50g (full size)
Honestly, I haven't even tried this yet. It's been sitting in a box of extra cosmetic stuff for 10 months now.
Cost: $4

Witch's Pouch Radiant Lolli Tint
Sample Size, 2.5g 
This is a liquid-y very bright pink lip gloss. Another item I haven't even used yet in the 10 months since receiving this box haha. I think I'll probably pass it along now that I've started sorting my stuff like crazy.
Value: $8.33 ($15 for full size - 4.5g)


Hanskin Bio Origin Royal Ampoule
Oh man, why did I order this box? Another product I haven't even tried yet...I guess you take just a drop or two of this and spread it over your face? I have a hard time believing so little product can cover your entire face, but I guess I'll have to try it out at some point.
Value: $7 for this teeny little sample, full size =$54

Tonymoly Cover Pot Concealer
This isn't huge, only 4g but it is full size. You really don't need much of this at all! I have actually used this! Hurray! This box wasn't a complete waste of money haha. I'm actually a big fan of this, it's nice and creamy and has a much fuller coverage than I typically use. I also ended up getting the correct shade for my skin tone! Score!
Value: $5

Tonymoly Crystal Stick Shadow
And...another product I haven't used. This is a shimmery yellowish-colour. If I put it on my eyelids I would look like I was suffering from jaundice - shimmery jaundice. Not a good look for me. Pass!
Value: $5

RoseMine Vitamin E Lip Balm in Rose Fairy
I received this exact lip balm, only in a different scent in the "Oh My Lips" box. I haven't used either of them yet, but I will more than likely end up keeping the other one and getting rid of this one. I am not a fan of Rose scented stuff, and putting floral scents on my lips does not sound appealing to me at all.
Value: $7



The total value of this box was only $36. This is by far one of the lowest value Memeboxes I ever received, and only product had me interested. Overall, I give this box a meh.

September Empties

Yes, it's almost the end of October, but I'm still going to post this. It's nothing fancy or exciting, but here are the products we finished off in September:


Forever 21 Cucumber Melon wipes - these sucked. They were actually some of the worst face wipes I've ever used. I will go to Walmart or Superstore or Winners to buy this type of thing from now on.

Vaseline Men's Facial Moisturizer - L loves this stuff. We found them for $1 at a little store last summer when we were in PEI, so we bought them out of them, and his supply is still going. He already has another one on the go, and I think there's still a few more in our extra product supply.

Bath & Body Works - Country Chic Body Wash
This smelled decent, worked decent and I bought it on sale. Deals! I think we have a few more of these kicking around in our supply of extra stuff in the basement. If the price was right, I'd buy more of these in the future.

Bath Retreats Bath Salts - To be fair, this was actually finished off a few months ago, but I had dumped a different kind from a plastic bag into the container. Now that I have a nice bathtub, I love using it and enjoying it. I go through quite a bit of bubble bath stuff now.

Saje candle - I don't normally post items like this, but I just wanted to do a review of this - it sucked. I typically love Saje products, and was expecting this to have a fairly strong scent when lit. Instead, it was even weaker than any of the cheapo candles I buy from Ikea.


September was a boring month for empties - but we were away for the last week of the month visiting family in another province. October already has a few more items than this in the bucket.
