For my first Memebox, I decided to order the waterproof makeup beauty box.
The price for this beauty box was $23.99
I received 6 full sized products plus a free sharpener. 

1. Y.E.T Mission Impossible lip marker 
in 01 ruby
 Highly waterproof and long-lasting. Glides smoothly and leaves a naturally-graduated stain on the lips. 
Rich in avocado oil, rose hip extracts, and macadamia oil, thus maintaining lips moist and supple.



2. Cheek room Curl & Long Lash mascara
Adds volume and strength to short, thin eyelashes with a long-lasting, waterproof finish.


3. Enesti UV cut sun block SPF50+++ pink 
Waterproof with a strong UV protection level but is also highly effective 
in toning out excess sebum and large pores.

4. Rubelli Water Glow BB cream
Contains anti-wrinkle, brightening, and UV protection functions.
 It also makes your skin look most natural and supple.


5. Color Bucket Flash Pop-up Geller in gold
Waterproof, gel-type eyeliner that comes in 10 different pop-up colours. It glides onto your eyelids smoothly with an extremely long-lasting finish. 


6. Croquis eye shadow & blusher 
in 06 shimmer peach
Waterproof, cream-type crayon that can create a shimmery peach gradation eye makeup.
It smoothly glides, giving a nice, silky finish without being clumpy or sticky.

Bonus" sharpener 

Firstly, I have to say that once purchased, Memeboxes are shipped by a certain date. I remember purchasing this box in June and the shipping date was set for mid august. It took about 10 days to arrive, which isn't too bad since it is being shipped from South Korea. Nothing was damaged and it came very well packaged. My favourite product has to be the pop-up geller eyeliner. The photo of the swatch that i have posted, does not do it justice. It is a beautiful metallic gold with tiny sliver specs of shimmer. Works great in the hot heat that we have been experiencing here in southern Ontario. No smudges, and no matter how many times you rub it, it won't come of. 
My least favourite product is the water glow BB cream, because the product is too light for my skin tone. I do wish Korean companies would expand their colour ranges when it come to foundation/BB creams, because they really do provide great quality products.  
As for the rest of the products, they really work great in the hot weather. Also, I thought it was nice of Memebox to add in a pencil sharpener to use with the blush/eye shadow stick. Sometimes larger pencils don't fit into certain makeup sharpeners.
Would I continue purchasing from Memebox? 
One thing that really separates Memebox from other make-up subscriptions, is how they allow you to choose the theme or brand that fits your needs best. Themes can range from skin care, pop of colour, tea, masks, etc. If you end up loving a product, you can always buy the product separately on their website. I will be looking forward to their newer themed boxes such as Halloween & princess boxes. If you're as adventurous as myself when it comes to trying out new products, i'd say give it a try. South Korea's beauty culture is becoming more and more popular, and I don't think you will would be disappointed with this box.
