1st memebox unboxing!!!!

i've browsed through memebox for a few months and didn't find anything too exciting until this one. 50 shades of sheet masks for $49! it really does have 50 in it and i was hoping for more brands to try, and it delivers.

 promo card

 i like the cat on the invoice

 xmas card

 tosowoong sheet mask-propolis (bee glue), snail (I FINALLY HAVE A PURE SNAIL MASK), aloe, deep sea water, blueberry, and green tea
i haven't tried this brand before or heard about them

 leaders insolution-2 of each-aloe soothing, illuminating, tea tree relaxing, ac clear, collagen boosting, aquaringer, vita brightening, and anti-aging.
i've heard so many good things about this brand and it has all the different ones.

 botanic farm-2x kiwi, 2x sea mustard, rose, cherry blossom, and rice
i have some botanic farm masks and am excited for the cherry blossom one.

 skin factory-2 of each-egf (epidermis growth factor)and solution a plus
the packaging is cool on this one, like you could hang it from somewhere.

 skin factory-2 of each-honey and volcanic ash
i have some volcanic ash masks and liked them. also the honey.

 innisfree-green tea and blackberry
i haven't seen this brand before and am excited for the blackberry one.

 ettang-2 of the peeling soothing mask
it's a 2 step one, which i have yet to use.

 leaders insolution-baby soft hand and foot masks
i've only used 1 foot mask from another brand and have yet to use a hand mask.

ariul 7 days-avocado, tea tree, bamboo water, lemon, pomegranate, aloe, and green tea.
i think i have brand somewhere but i haven't used it yet. i haven't tried a lemon mask yet.

i really like this box since it has different brands and kinds of masks to try. i won't use all of these anytime soon, but there's lots of options for my skin when it's having moments. shipping took less than a week, the same as sephora for me.

current favs dec 2015

i haven't posted in a while, retail + holidays = no sleep. but it has slowed down so i have more time (and many products to test out).

|BEAUTY FAVS|

hard candy green primer-this has helped with my redness and does make my makeup stay longer. its almost gone so i have to get a back up.

kat von d mi vida loca palette-i did neglect this for a while but i've been using it lately and it's everything a rainbow palette should be. i haven't used the neutrals yet though.

real techniques stipple brush-i like using this to apply foundations/creams. it doesn't leave as many lines as the others does.

orly goth polish-it's black and has silver glitter. it's perfect.

|NON BEAUTY FAVS|

katy perry royal revolution perfume-i have a sample roller ball and i do love the smell. it doesnt smell overpowering and does last for a few hours. i would prefer a spray after i finish the sample. i don't have any celebrity fragrances except katy perry's.

breaking benjamin-i got 3 cd's for xmas (haul coming soon) and that's all i've listened to.

december mask maven 2015

this months theme is a bit of everything.


 tony moly lemon mask-i've been wanting to try these since i've heard good things about them. my skin could also use some brightening from the dull winter weather.


 tony moly rice mask-my skin was hormonal this month so i'm hoping this can at least shrink them or make them go away.


 urban dollkiss 3-go mask-i haven't tried this brand before so this is exciting.


 snp tiger mask-i haven't used the puppy/panda masks yet but i do want to use them and see how they look.


 mediheal dress code violet mask-i love the smell of lavender so i'm hoping to use this on a relaxing day (after holidays) and it looks SOOO PRETTY!!!!!


 scinic my juicy bottle mask-i haven't tried a bamboo mask before so that should be interesting.


 my beauty diary imperial birds nest mask-i've heard of birds nest being in food but not a mask. i didn't know this was a thing but i'm excited to try it.


 dr. morita renewal repair essense mask-it has a snail on it, so i'm pretty sure it has snail something in it. i'm pretty excited since i've always wanted to try snail masks.


holika holika baby silky hand mask-i haven't tried a hand mask, but i do need one because of the cold. i've heard of holika holika before but haven't tried anything from them. 


i like this months masks since i get different brands and a hand mask and a snail mask. it's for all different skin types, so no matter what my skin does in a few months, i can take care of it.
