My second Memebox purchase was literally one day after the first one. Memebox added more items to their March doorbusters sale, and some were items I had been dying to try, particularly in the makeup section. The rest were either items that I needed to replace (not necessarily the same brand) or items that I honestly drooled over a little too much and picked up purely for the packaging. (I'm looking at you Cloud cream...)
To get right in to what I got!
This first item I got to send to my sister. I had gotten this as well as the Eglips Oil Cut powder pact, and while this was very cute, I decided the powder pact was simply more convenient for me. (Note: The little wings are on the plastic packaging, not on the pot itself.) The packaging is seriously so cute, how could I resist! I have a few other items from It's Skin that I'd picked up in Korea, but this was one that I had seen everywhere but never actually bought.
What I paid: $6
Purchase here:
It's Skin - Babyface Pore Powder, $9

What I paid: $4
Purchase here:
Memebox - Meme Maniac cosmetic bag, $7
Next up were two items that I needed. I've been wanting to add an eye cream into my skincare routine for a while now to do something for these eye bags and dark circles that I have, but eye creams are so expensive here in the US. The ones at Ulta that I had seen were usually $20+, and I wasn't about to dish that out for undereye cream. Thank God I didn't, because this Scinic Snail Matrix eye cream was on sale during the March doorbusters sale. I very happily added this to my cart for a neat $6, though the original price of $10 wasn't too bad either.
I also grabbed this RE:CIPE cleansing oil because 1) I love cleansing oil and 2) I'm almost out of my BareMinerals Mineralixirs one that I adore. However, I wanted to branch out, plus I had bought that BareMinerals one on sale, so I wasn't sure I wanted to repurchase it. This cleansing oil is also very pretty since it has rose petals inside hence the name Rose Petal cleansing oil.
What I paid: $6 (eye cream) + $9 (cleansing oil)
Purchase here:
Scinic - Snail Matrix eye cream, $10
RE:CIPE - Rose Petal cleansing oil, $17 (sold out on Memebox, available on BeautyBox Korea for $23.24)
Now, this cream I picked up solely for the packaging. I'm a sucker for minimalistic and pretty packaging, and this definitely fits both of those descriptions. I honestly have no idea if this cream is going to be any good, but this company definitely knows how to package.
The cream comes with a small plastic scoop tucked into the bottom of the box, which is great since I kind of hate digging my fingers into a jar of cream since it ends up getting tucked under my fingernails.
I will definitely be writing a review on this in the future since I know nothing about this brand or the cream! So keep an eye out for that.
What I paid: $10
Purchase here:
SB Marketing - Cloud 9 Blanc De Brightening cream, $12
From this second haul, the next makeup products were what I was most excited about with this haul. First up, I'd been seeing these Berrisom lip tints literally everywhere, and I'd been meaning to try them out, but I didn't want to pay $19 for 6 of these in case I hated them. Well, I figured I could pay $12 for all of them which put it at $2 a piece, which seemed a little bit more reasonable for me. Little did I know that I would fall in love with these without ever trying them. The packaging is cute but also perfect for gifting a set to someone. Also, these are much larger than I thought they were, which definitely made this purchase worth it for me.
What I paid: $12
Purchase here:
Berrisom - My Lip Tint pack (6 pc), $16
Hands down though, these were my favorite items that I ordered. I am a lover of all things Gudetama, and when I saw these were on sale, I was so happy. I hadn't tried this brand's sheet masks before, and I honestly don't really care whether these give any results, I just wanted these for the sheer fact that they have Gudetama on them. Which is definitely not really a reason you should buy something. However, buy them I did. And they're adorable, and I love them.
What I paid: $1.50 (x5) = $7.50
Purchase here:
Holika Holika - Lazy & Easy All Kill sheet mask, $3 (sold out on Memebox, available on MaskSheets for $2.80/1 pc)
I ordered these Labiotte wine lip tints and lipsticks not really knowing much about the actual product. I'd seen a ton of K-beauty/skincare bloggers posting about these and posting pictures of them, and I saw they looked pretty. All the reviews I had seen of them were great, until one day. Then I saw someone on Instagram that posted a review on the lip tint and said they went on splotchy and smelled bad. There were some other people in the comments who agreed and some people who came to the defense of the lip tints.
So, here I am, unsure of whether these were worth the price tag or not. Once again, I will definitely be writing a review on these so as to try to help others who are interested in these to figure out whether these are worth the hefty price tags or not!
What I paid: $8 (x 2 lip tint) + $10 (x 2 lipstick) = $36
Purchase here:
Labiotte - Chateau Wine lip tint (burgundy), $14.43 (Amazon, sold out on Memebox)
Labiotte - Chateau Wine lip tint (Shiraz red), $10
Labiotte - Chateau Wine lipstick (Cabernet red), $13
Labiotte - Chateau Wine lipstick (Malbec burgundy), $13
And that is all for my second Memebox haul! I'm definitely happy with all the things I got. The Labiotte items were a bit smaller than I thought they would be for some reason, despite seeing pictures. I guess they looked a bit taller in the pictures, but I'm not unhappy about them.
To total everything up, I spent $99.50 on all of these items, for a total current value of $142.43! More great deals, especially on the Labiotte.
