Hair and Body Memebox review, unboxing

Memebox Hair and Body beauty box review, unboxing
I am going to restrict myself to 1-2 Memebox unboxings per week at the most, despite the growing pile on my desk - the overkill is causing monotony and affecting my blog adversely. Hopefully the restraint will also reduce the number of their boxes I buy. Wishful thinking.
For those who came in late, Memebox is a Korean beauty box that ships to many countries; check their website to find out if yours is included. Either way, please sign this petition to get them to ship worldwide like they used to until March 31. Prices of boxes vary from $15 for mini boxes to $39 for superboxes.
Today, I have the Hair and Body special Memebox to show you. Memebox says the contents provide head-to-toe pampering.

Here is my unboxing and review of the Memebox Hair and Body edition beauty box.

This time, Memebox has opted for a pale salmon pink box that opens out with a separate lid, instead of the regular flip-open hot pink boxes.

Here is what I received in my Hair and Body edition Memebox:

  1. Rosapacific 19 Real Neck Sheet
  2. 1004 Laboratory Kiss The Perfume Brilliant Hair Treatment
  3. Annagaspi Brilliant Body Design Patch x 2
  4. SD Hair Steam Hair Ppack
  5. Kocostar Nail Therapy x 3
  6. Zivon Plu Body Scrub Oriental Jin
  7. EVAS RoseMine Perfume Touch
  8. Golden Glove Exfoliating Gloves

Everything except for the Zivon Plu Body Scrub is full-sized. And the scrub is a generous 50g. A quick look at each product.
The Rosapacific 19 Real Neck Sheet is a sheet mask for the neck, where signs of ageing are quick to show up. I have put it into a hamper to give my Mum for Mothers' Day - hope she likes it.

The 1004 Laboratory Kiss the Perfume Brilliant Hair Treatment is a perfumed conditioning treatment, as the name says. It contains 20 vegetable extracts. You have to apply it on wet hair from the root to tip, comb through, leave it in for up to five minutes, and rinse off. I will be trying this out and let you know once it goes through a month of uses.

I am adding the Annagaspi Brilliant Body Design Patch to Mum's hamper as well. This is a body patch that firms swollen legs and feet for eight hours. Mum is up on her feet all day AND gyms for an hour a day five days a week and I have heard her say her feet ache sometimes, so hopefully she can find some use for it. On the other hand, she is allergic to some 118 things (based on her latest allergy test) so I have put in a note saying she needs to do a patch test.

I wish Memebox had added a couple more SD Hair Steam Hair Packs in this box. This is a pack for shampooed, wet hair, and is to be worn like a cap, massaged in and left for 15 minutes before being rinsed off. My problem with all skin and hair care is that you need to try it all for six weeks at least before you can pronounce judgement; hence my request for quantity. I am sure you agree with me.

They certainly have been generous with the Kocostar Nail Therapy packs, providing three in this box. These contain "masks" for each finger. I presume I will end up looking like one of those drummers, but will review this for you once I use up all three packs.

Don't you think the packaging of Zivon Plu Scrub Oriental Jin looks like Macadamia Oil? The flash has made the green a little yellower. This is not the first Korean brand to imitate Western brands, and I don't like it, being a huge stickler for respecting design trademarks and intellectual property rights. Be original and get your own individual design and branding! That will endear you to customers. Rant aside, this is a body-only scrub and I will give it a decent trial before letting you know if I have any skin left.

EVAS Roes Mine Perfume Touch is a body perfume in a tube. I have got Fresh Green Tea. The packaging is very pretty and vintage and the formula is free of parabens.

Finally, the Golden Glove Exfoliating Gloves are very welcome - I have misplaced one of my exfoliating gloves from The Body Shop and can only find one of the pair. I hope these are as decent as the TBS ones.

Bottom Line (A cliched conclusion - any ideas for a better subheading?)
Another good Memebox. This one is sold out, but they still have the Nature box in stock - where everything is of natural origin. They also have other good boxes; be sure to check them out.
Disclaimer: Not PR. I like the boxes and buy them.
