Memebox: #23 Girls Night Out

Memebox is a Korean beauty retailer that carries non-subscription beauty boxes and has an online Memeshop to purchase full size items that come in their beauty boxes.  You can choose a theme or type of box and the description will give you an idea of what you will get in your box as well as a few spoilers. You can bundle up boxes and receive a promotional discount.  Currently for September, it is $5 off when you buy 3 and $8 off when you buy 4 or more.  Depending on if you are purchasing a box from Korea or one that ships from the US, shipping times will vary.  I ordered on 8/20 and received on 9/5, so just a little over 2 weeks.  They note that it can take 10-20 business days to receive if you utilize standard shipping.

For my first Memebox, I chose #23 Girls Night Out.  Lipstick, high heel and martini in pink sold me!

From the website:

Spoiler #1 KEPACLUB Maxi Lip Tint Glow 3.5g Full Size -$23
Randomly selected from 01. Classic Pink, 02. Pure Pink, 03. Cherry Pink


Maxi Lip Tint Glow goes beyond simple lip coloring. It moisturizes, removes dead skin, and plumps up dry, chapped lips! With a long-lasting, silky finish, it glides onto your lips smoothly for long-lasting color.
Here's what I got:





These are definitely for going out.  I would not wear these to a daytime event since they look quite vampy!
Secret Star Girl Angel Lash - FULL SIZE!
This smelled like a light musk and roses.  I liked it and it worked well with my chemistry!
Kskin Bulgarian Rose Pheromone Perfume Pink Angel 10 ml - FULLSIZE!

This had a strong fragrance.  Even though it is a soap scent, a couple of spritzes in my hair was more than enough.  I wouldn't use this everyday, maybe on a non-hair washing day or after a workout if I can't wash my hair right away.
Forest Story Water Essence Hair Perfume in Soft Soap Fragrance - FULL SIZE!

Prettiest of pinks that may be more suited for summer looks.  I would try this with the Laura Geller Cool Lids Cream Eyeshadow in Rose Gold that I received from the Ulta Summer Glam Beauty Essentials box.  I wonder if this is meant to say "mousse" rather than "moose," like the animal?
A.m.oK Cosmetics N.S.M. Soft Moose Waterproof Liquid Line in Roco Queen-FULL SIZE!

A dual concealer with different applicators.  You apply the anti-wrinkle concealer over fine lines and wrinkles and the spot concealer over imperfections.  This color is light for me right now, so maybe I'll give this a try in the winter.
Croquis Dual Concealer -FULL SIZE!
Two full size polishes in a peachy nude and orangey red.  Both are neutral shades that are seasonless in my opinion.  I will have to do a wear test and see how these go!  The card didn't list the colors I received so I had to look them up on other blogs to see what colors I got YL308 which is Oaky Sand.  The other one OR245 I couldn't find, but it is an orange based red.
A.m.oK Cosmetics N.S.M Special Nail Lacquer-FULL SIZE!

The packaging of this lip tint is reminiscent of Dior's Addict Lip Glow.  A pretty, creamy pink lipstick.
Kepaclub Maxi Lip Tint Glow in Pure Pink-FULL SIZE!

Cost: Varies by box. This one was $23 and is currently sold out.

Pros:
-Choose from a variety of products
-4-7 full size products in each box! (All of the items I received in this box were full sized!)
-Introduces you to brands not easily found in the US
-Memeshop allows you to purchase full size products of the items you find in your box.

Cons:
-Shipping can take 10-20 business days if selecting standard shipping ($6.99)
-Ingredients not listed (or if they are, it is in Korean).  I am not able to scan into the Think Dirty app to see how these products rate.
-Color matching for skin tone is not available.

Would I recommend this to a friend?  YAS! Goodies that are unique and from Korea/Asia, loves!  If you're interested in picking up your own Memebox click below for a deal!  These would also be great gifts as well!  Just be sure to order in advance since shipping does take awhile.
