Soothing Sista x MEMEBOX Eyeshadow Quad - Available Now!

One of my fave YouTubers has her own eyeshadow quad from MEMEBOX!  Stephanie Villa aka SoothingSista talked about her quad in her Best of San Francisco vid and it is finally here!  Launched yesterday, she talks about the process in her video yesterday.  I am so happy to have snagged one and can't wait to try this out.  For $17, this is a great deal for a palette that is paraben and cruelty free.

Unboxing: Memebox #57 All About Brows

Finally!  It has arrived all the way from Korea!

Memebox's #57 All About Brows box curated with not only brow make-up, but tools to get your brows in great shape.

What I got:


 Secret Kiss Choco Smudge Eyebrow in Milk Chocolate, Shara Shara I Wanna Eyebrow Cake, Happy Tool Lady's Eyebrow Razor  
 I like the Choco Smudge to set my brows.  Have not tried the Eyebrow Cake yet and the Eyebrow Razor is a dangerous tool to have around me.  The first time I saw an eyebrow razor was in college and I thought it was so cool.  My friends didn't introduce me to it personally since they knew I had a plucking problem.  :(  It was for the better actually.  LOL!

Style Y Natural Sketch Eyebrow Pencil and Powder in Light Brown,  Style Y Natural Sketch Eyebrow Simple Tattoo and Etude House Ribbon Brow Scissors
 Haven't tested or swatched the 2 Style Y products yet.  The scissors will come in handy to trip the top of the inner brow and the long ends of outer brow.  The pointy tip is scary though and I can see myself accidentally poking my face.




Cost: $19.00

Pros:
-Great selection of items to try
-All items are full sized

Cons:
-Color of products is varying.  Can be a good or bad thing
-Tweezers would have been a great addition!

Overall:  I'm pleased with this purchase and Memebox in general.  There are so many good collections they have to offer, there usually is 1 or 2 spoilers that they reveal on the website so you can see what kind of products you might get.  Also, there are some unboxing videos on the site andyou can search on for posts or videos

Lemming: Memebox All About Brows + Coupon Codes

Nakey face day - my usual at work, no meetings look. Ha!

Note: Affiliate links in this post.

Brows. They're there, but sort of not. I over plucked them my junior year of undergrad and they just haven't been the same since. Sad! :( "Ella, you have no more eybs! Stop plucking!" My friend told me that the first day back at UW.  Too late, the damage had already been done. Over the past few years, I've been using MAC shadow and Brow Shader, Anastasia Brow Powder and have been trying to master the Smartbrow from my First Dermstore Order.  I always go back to filling in with powder since its easier, doesn't require a lot of prep and I think I have it down.  :)

But I am lemming this!  Memebox #57 All About Brows.

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:

Whether you’re dressing up for a sophisticated lounge party with your girlies or glamming for a clubbing night on the town with the crowd, this box is guaranteed to get you a double-take (or maybe 5!)
Nothing beats spending time with your besties! Who else is going to be there for you through your ups and downs, from your most unlovable moments to your most silliest. Now, glam up and make unforgettable Instagram-worthy memories with your best girlies with our Girls’ Night Out Box! Save the muted nude makeup for the office, and add some pizzazz to your look with bold look-at-me lashes, drama queen cheeks, and red carpet worthy lips for a never-ending clubbing night! Complete your clubing look with your favorite party dress and killer heels for an unforgettable night!
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.

Just arrived yesterday from Korea!  My first Memebox!  I was hoping to snag the Collaboration Box #3 Memebox x Coffee Break with Dani, but those sold out quick!  I choose another box to see what this service was all about.  1 word, dangerous.  I'll have a review soon! In the mean time you can check out Memebox via my link and see for yourself!
