Here is how Memebox described this box:

Accentuate your eyes with a palette of earth baked colors, for a sultry look!
Universally flattering and always on trend, this natural makeup kit will give you an instantly put-together and polished finish "
I'm all about the natural makeup look, so I had to buy this box, even though Memebox's makeup boxes have been hit or miss (mostly miss to me)..but I couldn't resist. I should know better buy now then to completely trust that the box description will come true in the contents.






1. ddung Lipstick, 3.5g ($24)
Randomly selected from DL08 Peach Orange, DL10 Pure Peach, DL11 Elegance Beige
Memebox Product Description: "This moisturizing lipstick comes in 3 sheer, toned-down coral and pink hues perfect for F/W season. It adheres tightly onto lips with lasting suppleness and radiance while offering a satiny, long-wear finish."
How to Use: "Follow the natural contours of your lips and evenly filling the upper and lower lips. Use your finger or a lip brush to blend it in naturally."
Just realized I didn't even bother to check the colour of this lipstick. I was probably planning to sell it or give it away.


 2. Leporem Perfect Whitening Blemish Balm, 35ml ($23)
Memebox Product Description: "A BB cream offering strong UVA & UVB protection, effective sebum control and wrinkle care all in one.  It fills in fine lines and wrinkles for a satiny smooth skin texture and brightens darkened, dull complexion for a healthier glow."
How to Use: "Apply evenly over clean face. Pat it onto skin for lasting adherence."
I'm starting to be wary of products that 'fill' in lines (and possibly pores). With my recent onset of clogged pores I gonna try to be more careful of what I'm using.



 3. LadyKin Close Up Decuple Shimmering Primer, 30ml ($12)
Memebox Product Description: "This Shimmering Primer is colorless and can be used by all skin colors to prep and smoothen uneven skin texture before applying base makeup. It leaves skin feeling supple yet soft and non-oily, with a sheet hint of shimmering pearls."
How to Use: "Apply evenly over clean face before BB or foundation application."
As with the above, I hope its not a pore-clogging product. Will test out carefully. But then, its unlikely that I'll even use this product..not into a shimmery look on a day to day basis.


4. DD'ell Say Forever Gel Eye Pencil 04 Expresso, 1.2g ($14)
Memebox Product Description: "A creamy gel pencil liner that glides smoothly on and stay put for the entire day without smudging or fading.  The gentle formula is suitable for sensitive eye areas and easily comes off with warm water.  Free of alcohol, talc, oxybenzone, formaldehyde, salicylic acid, benzophenone, mineral oil, triclosan, etc."
How to Use: "Prime eyelids with an eye primer or a powder and draw a line along the waterline in your desired shaped and thickness."
This might be the only thing that I'm actually excited to try. My current makeup routine for my eyes is using a wet brush to apply brown eyeshadow as a liner. I've tried brown eyeliners before, but haven't found anything that has given me the same smoothness or well define lines as a brush.


 5. Mustaev Color Powder Starlight Opal, 2.5g ($22)
Memebox Product Description: "A multi-purpose pearl powder that comes in a sheer warm silver. This Color Powder from Mustaev can be used alone as an eye shadow or mixed with loose powder, lip gloss, or cream to add gleaming sophistication to an everyday natural."
How to Use: "Use a shadow brush to apply over eyelids. Mix with loose powder and use a wider powder brush to highlight the T-zone. Mix with lip gloss and use a smaller lip brush to add more volume and shimmers to lips. Mix with cream base and apply along the collarbones."
A very pretty and shimmery product...to look at, but I can't see myself using this either.

 6. Tonymoly Delight Circle Lens Mascara 03 Clear Circle, 8.5g ($4)
Memebox Product Description: "Ever heard of a clear coat mascara with a  translucent formula that adds volume and shine to your lashes without the black coat? Tonymoly Delight Circle Lens Mascara in Clear Circl ecan be worn alone or over average mascaras for extra volume and lasting power. It'd be the perfect time for when you want to set up your sagging lashes and create that 'no-makeup' look without over-defining the eyes.
How to Use: "Curl lashes. Brush upwards in a zig-zag motion from the root. Apply double coat for extra volume."
This definitely fits into the theme, but again, not something I'll be using regularly.

Knowing what I know now, I probably would not have purchased this box..but then again, I should have known this well in advanced of buying it.
