Memebox: Product reviews

Just a few quick early morning raves:
-Kerasys shampoo from Memebox Global #9: Just this shampoo and a little of my usual Moroccanoil (light) and I have Pantene commercial-worthy hair! Hate that it supposedly has SLS, but my hair seems to love it anyway!
-RiveCowe Sebum Control Compact from Office Essentials: Yes, I ordered the restocked box when it was offered as a special deal with the Dr. G Brightening Balm. I figured even if it was one of the more lackluster boxes, it was a good deal with the BB cream. Well, this box was worth it for me for the RiveCowe compact alone! This does everything I want a powder to do...it controls oil without completely mattifying my face, it doesn't change the color of my foundation, it doesn't look powdery at all. I swear this stuff even took the sting out of some particularly angry hormonal blemishes I had this morning! I actually ended up liking several items from this box...even the Joyeux Noel (Merry Christmas?!) scented fabric spray (smells like fresh figs and some sort of herb I can't place)!
-IOPE Air Cushion XP: This may be my HG foundation. I seriously haven't touched my Guerlain Lingerie de Peau or YSL Touche Eclat foundation since I got this. This is the same general product that is in the IOPE #2 box, but it may be a slightly different formula, as I ordered C21, which has the most coverage. There is also a natural version with less coverage (N21, N23, etc.) and another version with shimmer...I'm not sure which of these is in the IOPE #2 box. Anyway, it's perfectly dewy, provides great coverage, and the color is perfect. It looks like it would be way too dark for my super-pale skin in the compact, but it must adjust to match somewhat. It's still a little darker than my usual foundations still, but it's not noticeably "off", and itactually makes me look less corpse-like. :lol: This is my first ever CC cushion, so I can't say that it is any better than others featured by Memebox, but I LOVE it! I also love the overall design and easy application of the CC cushion concept in general!

Just used the oseque melting cleanser and skineralism ice whitening bubble pack from the bubble box. I have to say, the cleanser removed my make up with ease and honestly cleared out my skin. I love it! Best cleanser Ive used so far. (Although it does take a few mins to bubble up)
Skineralism ice whitening pack is amazing for clearing out any imperfections, and unfortunately it does a great job at whitening my pale skin too. Whilst the whitening effect I don't desire, it has left my skin a lot clearer.

That Kerasys was pretty nice....but the smell was so awful on my head I had to give it away. Fortunately my friend at work loved the smell so much I just gave it to her.
I just can't do anything heavily scented. Still kind of bummed about having to give away the shampoo.

Oh, that's too bad! I really like stronger/lasting scents, as long as it's a good scent.

Alright, so I gave the ultimate test to the Hope Girl WaterProof Volumizing mascara. I wore it to my Nana's funeral. It was 90 degrees out, too.
I am still flabbergasted that Hope Girl actually has some good products because really it just seems cheap.
But I'm in love with the 140 Super Lash and I can now say that the Waterproof Volumizing version is also just as good. Applies perfectly with no clumping or flaking. Tears did not wash it away and neither did rubbing my eyes. No smudging. I would say that it's not super volumizing but I applied three coats really easily without clumps and my eyelashes looked great. I always hate it when the mascara makes my eyelahses stick together stick together but this has a really funny wand and each eyelash stayed nicely separated.
I'm going to keep it on overnight to see how it goes and then comes the task of removing it.
Maybe this is tmi for a mascara but I just can't get over my amazement. I seriously expected nothing from Hope Girl and I'm very pleasantly surprised by their mascaras, at least.
Now I'm off to use the Rivecowe compact since everyone is loving it!

I don't suffer from hair loss too lol! I just love then very earthy smell of it and gave it a try. It fluffs my hair abit and makes it stay that way for almost 2 days. Aka no need for dry shampoo the next day~
/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />I'm really sensitive to smells, and they give me migraines. This one wasn't quite a migraine level, but I was training a guy at work and he could smell it. He told me I smelled like an old lady...lol.

So I tried the aloe mask (not the sheet mask) from the aloe box yesterday night and it was wonderful! I'm surprised at how great it was. It has a bit of pulp in it and when you put it on your face, it's a bit cooling. After 20 mins, my face felt so smooth and soft that I couldn't believe it! You girls that got the aloe box should definitely give this mask a try. It has a nice light scent to it as well. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I used it last night and it burned me too. I have been using AHA wipes and think it made it worse. It made some of my peeling skin come off. Definitely not a relaxing mask.
I didnt feel anything when I had it on. Was a bit dissapointed but am glad that I didn't feel anything compared to a burning feeling.

Is this the super expensive mask from Global 13? I was saving it for a special occasion thinking at that price it was going to make me look 20 years younger after one use. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Just finished my Aromalab Designer Fragrance Oil roll on, back from the 10 Min Box - I really grew to love the smell! I'm disappointed that I got the W Holic roll on in Madalin from K Beauty Wrap, it doesn't suit me at all. Very orangey.
Happily I got the purple Secret Key body mist in the same box, which smells like the Soap Berry Cleanser that I got from Lucky Box 6, and I love that smell.
