MY BOX

UN BOXED,

MENU CARD

PUREDERM SHOWER JELLY,in cooling mint or brightening milk.
i received the cooling mint version.
these shower jellies are just like the ones from lush ltd, take a chunk off and smoosh it in a shower puff and later in water ,then cover the body and hair with the foam and wash away for the dirt and dead skin cells.wash off to leave the skin soft and smooth and very clean ,

DR MJ. BEETOX CONTROL CREAM.
A thick cream for the face, a rich skin repairing cream, with added bee venom and propolis,rosemary,teeter,calendula,this is also a lovely soothing cream that helps to regenerate damaged skin,the cream itself leaves a barrier over the skin while aiding deep hydration into the skin all day.protects the skin from daily pollutants.

E CHOICE HAND THERAPY.sweet Rose +Shea butter or cherry blossom +Shea butter.
sadly i received the rose variety,
a rich thick Shea butter based cream .it works by moisturising the driest of skin all over.it softens the skin leaving no greasy film or residue and sinks in well.the skin has a lovely delicate scent left on it.

PURE SMILE ANIMAL POINT PAD,pineapple or guava,
i received pineapple.
these pads are ace for using on dry patches ON the face ,or on the heels,elbows,knees, anywhere that is dry or cracked.
loaded with vitaminE, hyaluronic acid,pineapple and guava extracts it feeds moisture into the skin and moisturises to the max.simply slap onto the dry area for 15 minutes then massage in the remaining essence.,THE THING WITH THESE IS THEY DRY OUT QUICKLY,so i put them in an empty face cream jar so they stay moist and hygienic .

DERMA LIFT INTENSIDERM AQUA RICH CREAM, x3.
these small tubes last a while yet are great for travel and on the go fixing,
a rich cream for the face it helps to stop damage to damaged and dry skin. it soothes and repairs while forming a strong barrier over the skin to protect from the elements great in the current UK harsh winds and weather we have over Christmas.a good scent and a lovely consistency that spread over the face and rubs in well.not quite a sunblock but little like a cold cream of old.

TOUCH BY LEE KYUNG MIN ,EXTREME SHIELD MASTER.
lee is now for her winter and dry skincare ranges ,this is a spot cream great for dry skin and the colder climates, its an ampoule with a silicone brush with enriched essential oils ,it helps to calm the skin while treating dead skin cells ,spots and dry rough skin, simply use the brush to dab over the affected area and rub in with he brush.

overall this box is essentially for dry skin ,which is really a winter box which is great for me, living on the coast ,with the strong winds and rain i need any kind of help known to man to keep my skin moisturised to the max for the next 3 months. the products are great the only thing i can't use is the bee tox again.
i love the shower jelly, works a treat, the hand cream great as a night treatment and to use during the walk to and from work.point pads are cute quick and easy ,always fins a dry spot me and my son to use these.the little tubes are great for the skin ,will use the derma lift on the skin to and from work, and will keep a tube back for climbing holiday. the touch  shield master the boy has decided is a cool thing that teenage boys need for their faces , so for us its a welcome box and a good and loved and used bunch of products.
the one thing i don't really like to see are freebie samples ,i know we got 3 but it states on the back NOT FOR RESALE,for the derma lift,

JANUARY CODE IS 
7QRCDL BUT THIS TIME WE HAVE ONLY BEEN GIVEN $3.00 OF $30 OR MORE,

BLACK FRIDAY SPECIAL EDITION BOX 5,

welcome to my extremely late BLACK FRIDAY SPECIAL EDITON 5 box ,that has been held up in the UK Christmas post.
these boxes were released on black Friday  onwards from box 1-5 and they sold out pretty darn quick,
1-3 sold out while us in Europe were fast asleep so we missed the best ones in my opinion.

so my box ,these came with immediate shipping but somehow got held up then didn't hit the UK till Xmas week, as they were fast shipping dates they had no printed card only an online version.

MY BOX 

UN BOXED,

BENTON SNAIL BEE HIGH CONTENT STEAM CREAM,
this is a pirated cream that is moisturising  and good for damaged or acne prone skin,with snail extract and bee venom this is great for deep hydration of the skin,
a good product to help slow down the signs of ageing and this is a lightweight cream due to steam pressured into it, this cream sinks into the skin quickly and thoroughly.

AHC HOLOGRAM MOISTURE SERUM,
this is a short date for use up being November 2015,
this is a good serum that i received in a previous box the serum has active ingredients inbuilt into a liposome system,a blend of fig extracts,collagen,portulaca extracts, it helps replenish dry skin, leaves the skin plump.and healthy ,it refreshes the skin and gives a deep boost of moisture all over that lasts all day.

SHARA SHARA TOP TALENTED SKIN BB SPF34,

a rich BB balm cream with herbal extracts and pantheon. the cream is a soft texture that smooths and glides over the skin with ease ,it also leaves a flawless glowing look, covers all lines, wrinkles, scars and acne up, this gives the skin all day moisturising hydration and has added uvb and uva protection.

DEAR BERRY ICE-CREAM HAND CREAM IN VANILLA.,

we received this in the black Friday 4 in free tea , this box contains the vanilla version, its quite strong but fake smelling i don't like it moisturises but leaves an not dry after feel and its quite strange, this version dried my skin out over the course of the day while the green tea didn't.it has cute packaging in an ice-cream look, but not a great product for me sadly.

DEARBERRY KISS OF THE BERRY LIP BALM.

i received the strawberry. this is a balm with a barely there tint on the skin,it is rather melty in that its a Shea butter loaded balm and melts over the lips with ease, the tingling is from the tea tree ,enriched with jojoba oils this will soften the driest chapped lips up.

so my feelings of this box were they were a gift they turned up way to late for Christmas .so they are being split up into birthday gifts ,the serum i love as I'm using it from a previous box,the hand cream sadly i don't like ,the green tea one was a better working one and better consistency,the lip balm is nice but has no tint just a sheen and no real strawberry scent to it,the BB cream i will keep and will be using as i liked the colour and texture of this in that it blended into my skin so well.as for the Benton i will not put there products on my skin so i give away, i patch test or get a friend to test for me, these are going into a home made put together Benton box for someone,as i know they love the products , 

i feel this could of had a little better products included like boxes 1,2,3 i feel they got all the best products and these were they empty the ware house into them look sadly,

i really hope memebox start to give us a new box a week of better curated products now we are in January ,it will be interesting to see if we get them or even the single edition of global 19,

as of yet we are still waiting January codes i will post once received,

it sells nice and a good feel to it while you apply to the skin.

PURE SMILE +LIP TREATMENT IN MILK,HONEY,STRAWBERRY.

this lip treatment moisturises,plumps ,softens and smells and tastes good, it restores dry chapped lips to normal, plumps up fine lines and wrinkles and isn't sticky or a heavy gel on the lips, lightweight it sinks in to get to work quickly and easily,

so my thoughts on the box

I've had the strawberry lip treatment before this time i got the      and liked it but i couldn't stand the scent so gave to my son to use, it worked fine on whims the lip were badly peeling,

the vitamin recharger was light and refreshing on the skin,smelled nice and cleaned and refreshed the skin,

the rose berry sleep pack was nice and easy to use ,washed off easy and firmed the skin up,

the tony moly is a good product and I'm using one already so this is a spare ,but it blends in with my skin well once added to my daily face cream for the day. lightweight and doesn't clog the skin.

the RIRI pigment i love these but don't get to wear them often ,but a solid colour and great pigment,the serum is another thing I've added as a step in my night routine,

so a nice skincare based box with a bit of colour thrown in, a better lucky box than the last one 11 for sure, will see what 13 brings.

Pierre-Ojisan’s Strawberry Rollcake

a soft sweet sticky cake that is smooth but equally as rich.with its unique strawberry flavouring,these are a bit like  chocolate rolls we get in the UK, 

great with tea or coffee.the word ojisan means older gentleman,also uncle, either way he is a cute old man .

Sakeru Muscat Gumi

so this is sakeru gum.the word gumi means to be taken as a loose term ,this is not chewy candy rather taffy type chew texture.the flavour is muscat grape and when eaten slowly the flavour takes time to come out.

the word sakeru means split or tear,packaged in sheets you tear off in string form string by string.the bags also lasts longer this way.

if you like spicy strong flavours it may not be for you, its a refined flavour.

want a snack but don't want to be feeling stuffed afterwards this maybe for you.

the colours are supposed to mean they are different flavoured curries but sadly you can't tell any variation.

the dispenser makes it great for carrying around , and although the flavour does not last long the bubbles can go huge.
