No information card with this box. I really like the information cards with the pictures. I now have a large stack that I can probably bind to make a book.

1. Lassie'el Night Miracle Sleeping Pack, 4g x 2 ($6)
Randomly selected from Egg, Mango, Pearl Shell, Avocado

Memebox Product Description: "Adorably packaged mini sleeping packs formulated with concentrated extracts from egg, mango, avocado, and pearl. They work to deeply hydrate and rejuvenate dry, exhausted skin overnight to reveal healthier and brighter complexion the next morning."

How to Use: "Remove the lid and use the spatula provided to mix the formula inside together and evenly spread the mixture all over face and neck. Go straight to bed without rinsing it off."

I have to say that they are sooooo cute...Not sure if I will want to use these at all...not unless I can find out where to buy more of these. Sold on cuteness, packaging and presentation.

2. AHC Hologram Active Gen Serum, 50ml ($89)

Memebox Product Description: "This premium serum combines active aesthetic ingredients with a scientific liposome system that maximizes absorbance of nutrients deep into the skin, to give a visibly enhanced complexion. A blend of ice fig extracts, hydrolyzed collagen, and ginseng callus extracts effectively firms, brightens, and repairs dry, damaged skin, reviving youthful and healthy glow to the complexion."

How to Use: "Apply evenly to clean face. Pat it in for full absorbance."

I'm glad my photos shows how cool the hologram effect is. So this may be another gimicky thing, but enough for me to want to try this stuff out. Luckily (or unluckily), this serum has a due date in 2015 and it is next on my list to use.

3. IASO Intensive Clear Conditioner, 15 sheets ($12)

Memebox Product Description: "Containing centella asiatica, aloe vera, licorice extracts, and BHA salicylic acid for softly melting away dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, IASO Intensive Clear Conditioner sheet is a new easy and convenient method to maintaining silky soft and even toned complexion."

How to Use: "Gently wipe all over cleansed face as the very first step of skin care."

I've received a few cleaning sheets in other beauty box subscriptions. Not really a fan of these things.....they just remind me too much of baby diaper wipes...maybe I'll be able to repurpose these for other uses...hand wipes on the go? Always handy with messy babies and toddlers.

Blithe Patting Water Pack, 5ml x 6

Blithe Patting Water Pack, 5ml x 6

4. Blithe Patting Water Pack, 5ml x 6 ($46)
Includes Energy Yellow Citrus & Honey, Soothing & Healing Green Tea, Rejuvenating Purple Berry

Memebox Product Description: "No need to stick on a sheet mask every night with Blithe’s all-new Patting Water Pack! Simply through patting on the water pack onto your skin, it’ll remove dead skin cells, deliver moisture & nutrition, and renew the skin balance for maintaining soft, moist skin condition. The Energy Yellow Citrus & Honey revitalizes and brightens up the skin and the Soothing & Healing Green Tea is for oil and pore control, while the Rejuvenating Purple Berry works to improve skin elasticity and firmness."

How to Use: "After cleansing the face, fill 1/4 of the basin with water. Pour in 1 lid-ful (use the lid of the product to measure about 7ml) of the Patting Water Pack into the water and mix in well. Then repeatedly pat onto your face with the water pack for 30 seconds. Do not rinse off. Simply let it absorb into your skin."

This product is definitely a new category of product to me. Not sure about using my basin to mix this stuff in..maybe a clean bowl perhaps.

5. Shara Shara Green Tea Seed Magic Balm, 25ml ($17)

Memebox Product Description: "Enriched with green tea seed oil, jojoba seed oil, argan tree kernel oil, and over 30 kinds of natural essential oil, this multi oil balm delivers rich moisture and nutrients by softly melting onto skin. It’s scented with a refreshing lime essential oil fragrance and can be used from head to toe as a multi cream, a sleeping pack, a massage cream, a lip balm, a highlighter, or a hand & foot pack."

How to Use: "As a cream, apply it directly to dry face, lips, body, etc. To mix it into your makeup routine, apply a small amount as a highlight or mix it in with base makeup to create a naturally glowing complexion."

Multi-purpose, all-in-one cream..not too exciting..will  have to see how magical this one is...

6. Dr. MJ Moisture Bounce Collagen Capsule Cream, 50g ($54)

Memebox Product Description: "A rejuvenating facial cream formulated into bouncy, jelly-like texture packed with collagen capsules, hyaluronic acid, and adenosine to intensively hydrate and gently firm up sensitive and tired skin. It works to alleviate and nourish stimulated skin for a quick skin renewal as well."

How to Use: "Apply evenly to clean face. Pat it in for full absorbance."

7. Memebox MemeMask Intensive Moisturizing Hydrogel

A Memebox product - I tried this mask recently, because I've only ever used cotton sheet mask, and a 'gel' one sounds interesting This mask comes in two halves (top of face, and bottom of face). Its a translucent white gel-sheet, that's a bit tricky to put on, kind of slippery, and seems so delicate that it could break apart, but luckily it didn't. Having the mask separated in two parts definitely makes it easier to apply. Directions: Apply on clean face for 20 to 40 minutes.
For a single use, its hard to tell of the anti-wrinkle properties, but hydrating yes. I would definitely consider buying gel masks in the future. After removing it, I realized that its actually a thin cotton mesh with a layer of gel on it..so not so easily to fall apart. I did have mesh impressions on my face, so I wonder if I put it on the right side on.

Overall, a decent box. Not sure that all the products really lives up to the box description. I do see some products I will definitely try out.
