Here is how Memebox described this box:

"Have you ever wondered what the secret is behind the timeless beauty of the famous ancient Egyptian Queen, Cleopatra? Her ancient skin and body beauty rituals made her the most coveted and celebrated woman of her time, making her historically famous as the spellbinding enchantress that held Caesar hostage by her blinding beauty. 

This box explodes with Cleopatra’s most celebrated ancient skin and body beautifying secrets that transcends time, all made with the most natural, effective, and gentle ingredients, to give your skin an everlasting radiance and enchanting glow, and keep your body and skin supple, firm and smooth to touch! "

This box was released at the same time as Memebox Special 75 Wonder Woman and Memebox Special 76 Empress's Secret. Only this box and the Empress' Secret interested me.  

1. Xaivita+ Goat Milk Whitening Cream, 70g ($70)

Memebox Product Description: "Goat milk is regarded as one of the secrets to Cleopatra's unfailing beauty because it became known that she had regularly drunken and bathed in goat milk as part of her beauty regimen.  The Xaivita+ Goat Milk Whitening Cream is enriched with over 10,000ppm of real goat milk which helps moisture and nutrients absorb gently into the skin while creating a protective moisture barrier to prevent any potential damages to skin.  This moisturizer is suitable for all skin types and ages, with a gentle formula containing high concentrates of vitamin A, B, E and lactic acid."

How to Use: "Apply evenly over clean face as the last step to skin care regimen or mix it with sunscreen in 1:1 ratio for extra moisture during the daytime. At nighttime, gently massage the cream onto skin and pat it in for full absorbance."

I really like the packaging for this product. This product seems like it will be really rich, perhaps too much for my skin. I will probably give this to my Mom, since she really liked the the Donkey Milk Steam Cream from Memebox Special 7 Milk.

2. Cossu Body Ade - Rose, 190ml ($29)

Memebox Product Description: "This is a liquid type bubble soap enriched with 75% pure rose water, an ingredient known to have been used for Cleopatra's daily baths. It provides intense hydration and soothing relief while clarifying and nourishing dry, tired skin. To be used as a foam cleanser, body wash, shampoo, and bubble bath."

How to Use: "Create a lather with your hands or with a bubbling net and massage onto face, body, hair, etc."

My box arrived with this bottle leaking through the packaging. Because of this, I started using it right away as a body wash. I guess since my bottle was damaged, the pump doesn't seem to work too well, but at least the soap still comes out somewhat foamy. After using this awhile, I realize that I don't really like rose-smelling product, or perhaps its just this particular product.  Everytime I use it, I feel like I'm using some clinical soap, like Clearisil? Will no buy this.

3. WillSpa Touch Secret Touch for Woman, 12ml ($35)

Memebox Product Description: "Formulated from 100% natural essential oils - frankincense oil, bergamot oil, ylang ylang oil, rose geranium oil, rose absolute oil, lavender oil, jojoba oil, and patchouli oil, The SecreteTouch For Women is a roll-on type aroma therapeutic oil blend, effective for relieving stress and refreshing in-between an exhausting day. Frankincense and rose essential oils are well-known to have been Cleopatra's ancient beauty ingredients incorporated into her daily skin care and bath regimen."

How to Use: "Roll on over wrists or neck."

Was too curious to see what this product is. It's basically a roll on stick and it smells as described.

4. Calmia Facial Cleanser Oatmeal Therapy Foam, 150ml ($10)

Memebox Product Description: "Enriched with nourishing oatmeal extracts, this Facial Cleanser deep cleans, softens rough skin texture, and renews dry, damaged skin all in one. An herbal blend of portulaca, lavender, rosemary, chamomile, basil, and houttuynia cordata is gentle in formula yet effective in cleansing away excess oil, dirt, and skin impurities."

How to Use: "Create a lather with your hands and massage all over the face. Rinse off with lukewarm water."

I'm really building up a collection of foam cleansers.

5. Aromawiz Spa Bath Bomb Chocolate, 150g ($42)

Memebox Product Description: "Enriched with all kinds of skin-nourishing ingredients, this 100% hand-made Spa Bath Bomb offers a deeply moisturizing, soothing, and nourishing spa bath with abundant bitter-sweet chocolate bubbles!"

How to Use: "Drop the bath bomb into a tub of water and let it melt & Bubble up. Enjoy a nice hot bath for 15-20 minutes and take a quick shower afterwards to rinse off everything."

I'm completely stunned by the price of this product. I've never purchased or used a bath bomb before, but at $42 a pop?..wow! and for a 15-20 minute experience? too rich for me. My son saw this and asked if he could use it (he's 3.5), but I just couldn't agree to it yet. (He really liked the chocolate bubble bath from Memebox Special 11 Cacao Cosmetics.) I'm going to have to find out if this really costs $42 or just $4. If the former, I will need to make this go a long way and make the whole family bath in this expensive bath bomb.

A so-so kind of box only. If it weren't for the leaked bottle of body wash, I don't think I would have touched anything in this box.  Would I buy this box knowing what I do now? Nope.
