Memebox Superbox #81 1st Anniversary Box – Unboxing and Contents

I can’t tell you how sad and upset I am that Memebox has stopped shipping to India. Especially now that they are having a “Box Party” with so many popular boxes being restocked! The Memebox Superbox #81 is my second-last box (yes one more box is still with Mumbai Customs) and I was really excited about it since this was the 1st Anniversary Box! Was the box worth getting excited about? Take a look….

Yea,  I know.  Nice products but nothing too exciting considering that is the Anniversary Box.  Oh well, let’s see each product….

TOSOWOONG BEE AC CONTROL TONER

Tosowoong Bee AC Control Lotion in Memebox Superbox 81 1st Anniversary Box
Randomly selected from either a lotion or a toner, which is what I got. Tosowoong’s AC control seriesis formulated from naturally derived ingredients – bee venom, galactomyces and bifida ferments – all of which soothe acne-prone skin. Memebox has introduced me to bee venom in skincare and I am really enjoying trying out all the bee venom products. I have been experimenting with my skincare and have mixed three toners including this Bee AC Control toner and it has been working really nicely for me.

UNNI RECIPE MAKES YOUR SKIN SMOOTH FIRMING PACT

Unni Recipe Pact in Memebox Superbox #81 1st Anniversary box

 

Apparently, this is a cushion compact with a “moist, cushiony formula” but it looks just like an ordinary compact to me. I haven’t used it yet since I have 3 compacts currently in rotation. With galactomyces, bifida and lactobacillus ferments, it is supposed to give skin natural looking coverage and make it feel soft, silky and revitalised. I thought the shade Light Beige might be too light for me but seeing it, the shade seems to be an accurate match. The pact also has an SPF of 25 PA++ which is an added bonus in Mumbai weather.

AHC WHITENING CREAM  SPF 35 PA++

AHC Whitening Cream  in Memebox Superbox #81 1st Anniversary box
“Whitening” in K-beauty terms doesn’t really mean it will make you 5 shades fairer. It basically stands for brightening and fading of dark spots and who doesn’t want radiant skin? It’s written on the product too that this is “A brightening cream that moisturises the skin and corrects uneven skin tone”. And an SPF of 35 PA++ means you don’t need a separate sunscreen! This cream has a vitamin-rich blend of niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, lemon, kakadu plum (need to look that up), kamu kamu berry and betaine. Really impressive, but I need to work through the little pile of creams I already have before I can start with this. It would be the perfect skincare product for a holiday though…no need to bother about a separate moisturiser and sunscreen.RiRe COOL DR. SCALP+ & HOT SPEED MANICURE

Cool Dr. Scalp+  in Memebox Superbox #81 1st Anniversary box
Hot Speed Manicure  in Memebox Superbox #81 1st Anniversary box
This is a set of two tubes and no, the red one has nothing to do with manicures or hand and nail care. the blue tube is a scalp treatment tat cools the scalp to prevent possible hair loss and remove impurities and dead cells from the scalp.
The red tube is basically a leave in treatment before heat styling the hair. Wonder why they’ve labelled it as Manicure!

RiRe Capsule Mask Pack

RiRe Anti-aging Capsule Mask pack  in Memebox Superbox #81 1st Anniversary box

After a patting water pack, we now have a spritz on mask pack that works even over makeup! Talk about innovative products. These were randomly chosen from Moisture, Whitening and Anti-aging and luckily, I got the anti-aging one.
This spray-on mask pack rehydrates dry skin with a mix of adenosine, niacinamide, cherry blossom, evening primrose and violet extracts and is suitable even for sensitive skin. And it smells absolutely delightful! I have kept it in my handbag and love spritzing it whenever my skin feels dry.

So, while the products, individually, are really good, they aren’t mindblowing like I would have imagined the anniversary box to be. I’m looking forward to trying them all out anyway.

This is my second last Memebox (sob sob). I had ordered the Citrus Care during the restock that happened in December and that box is lying with Mumbai Customs since the 12th of January!!! I really wonder what they do keeping the boxes with them for so long. Hope I get it soon….

    They provide such innovative products. Which are clearly not available in the Indian markets! I don’t know why they had to discontinue in India *sob*

  3. I’m so loving the contents of the box. Its a bummer that they have to discontinue shipping it to India!
