The box I received this month was the 1 out of 5 Lucky box. They also have two other types of boxes the Meme Superbox and the MEMEbox global.

We only have a limited supply of each Memebox series, and Luckybox was created to bring back our most popular items selected from previously sold-out Memeboxes, all combined in one wonderful collection. Each Luckybox contains a selection of products from past Memeboxes, occasionally including a few new favorites we simply could not resist including. Just like our Memebox and Superbox, Luckybox products are sourced directly from Korea, including only the best-loved items thoughtfully curated by our cosmetic aficionados at Memebox.

 I love that this box is very well wrapped it makes me feel like my products are safe and that they will remain in the box. This black bag ( super box was pink) is pretty thick.

Once the bag is removed you expose the bubble wrap. I like this ideal even though the products are in a box this adds a bit of extra padding.

At Last you get to see the box

 All of the items are put into to box so well. This makes me feel extra special you can see the care that they put in wrapping and placing every item. I always like it when boxes take the time to do this. It looks much more professional.

This is the product card. Whatever you do, do not throw this out. The card has many important details, such as how to use the products and the price. I love that they include this. You need to keep this card because all information on the products themselves are Korean.
 Glory Nail Vegan Lacquer 15 ml (full size) ( retail value 20$)
It is a nail lacquer from professional nail care brand with self-developed built-in brush that makes color on your nail you see from the bottle. ( From product card)

The polish colour I got was number F-019.  It is a blueish colour ( with a hint of purple it looks like) and it had a sheen to it. I am excited to try it on my nails to see what the colour actually looks like on. The one thing that I did not like about the polish is that it had no plastic cover on it. I am talking about the ones that usually ensure that it stays shut until you take it off. Also another quick note if they restock this box again you might not receive the same colour as I did. The nail polish is picked from various colour. This item was also featured in the Memebox #1
Nuganic Customize Pore Control Essence 30 ml full-size ( retail value 46$)
A concentrated serum that refines pores and rebalances skin. Pore control Essence absorbs quickly to lock in moisture while visibly refining pores and smoothing skin texture, helping skin create a smoother, younger look....( from product card. Will write the full description on the product review post)

I liked this bottle. I know that might sounds weird, but the super box had a bar of soap and pretty standard bottles except for one which was the Ddobyul Plant Stem Cell Anti-Aging Solution 30 ml and I like different things. I appreciate and enjoy all variety of things including bottles. I also like that this is a pore cleanser I have started a workout regimen that causes sweat to clog my pores and anything that can help them is a plus. I received the SKIN 1004 Cocoon Pore Tightening Soap in the Superbox #1 I love this soap and for the review it is the second product down ( sorry no pictures gmail got hacked deleted my google drive pics and it deleted them off of the blog.) This product was featured in Memebox # 5 & 5-2

Nots 28 Remedy Acne Pore Deep Cleanser 60 ml half-sized ( Retail Value full-sized 120ml 31$)
Remedy Acne Pore Deep Cleanser reduces the appearance of pores and refines skin tone and texture.

Again I like that it is a pore cleanser I can never go wrong but I would've liked to have another product. I think pore cleanser are always a plus but in a box this size more variety would be appreciated. I can't say much more about this product as I haven't tried it and I already said all I had to about pore cleansers

SEP Face Lifting Mask 30g Full-size ( Retail value 14$)
This sheet mask is a 6 in 1 facial hydrogel mask made with a special fabric normally used for body shaping underwear. It provides intensive nutrition, fights against the appearance of wrinkles, brightens skin tine, firms fine lines and hydrates the skin.( taken off from product card)

Ok. I hate masks like these. You take them out of the packet, unfold them and slap them on your face. I hate them because they are a one size fits most and they don't fit me well. I find that no matter what I do with these types of mask they just never stay on or stay on well. I'm not saying that the product itself is not good I just don't like the mask form. I will be trying this mask on either way to see how it feels and who knows I might be surprised.

Too Cool for School Aqua Gel Mist 100ml full-size ( Retail Value 12$)
The Aqua Gel Mist is a gel-texture mist with high concentration of Trehalos. The main ingredient Trehalos, instantly replenishes the skin with soothing hydration, and provides a healthy-looking glow to your skin.

I find this product interesting it is a product that you use on top of a regular moisturiser to add some extra hydration and glow to the skin. I also find the bottle interesting ( again) as well as the product. It is a gel like product and I can't wait to try this product.

Tonymoly Delight Tony Tint Red 1.5 ml less then half size ( Retail Value 9 ml 3$)
One of the bestselling lip tint in Korea, It instantly gives vivid red color on your lips with a single touch. It created a gradient lip known as Korean Lip. ( taken from product card)

I like lip tints they add just a small amount of color to your lips that stays on all day ( or almost) and yet your lips still look natural. It also has a nice wand applicator like the ones that you find on tube lipstick. 
This product was featured in Memebox #3

Dear by Enprani Bounce Cheese Cream 30 ml half-product ( Retail Value 75ml 29$) 
A facial cream that has very unique bounce texture from high concentration of milk serum. Milk Serum, also known as Whey, is a good source of natural protein that perfectly hydrates and firms your skin.

I found this product interesting for the texture. It is a bit thick and sticky. I am assuming that it is why it is cream cheese. It also smells divine and seems to spread easily had a bit on my hand for the youtube video I posted. This is one of the products that I am very excited to try once I have gone through the Superbox products.

Iope Bio Essence Intesive Conditioning 18 ml small sample ( Retail Value 168ml 60$)
IOPE's Bio Essence Intesive Conditioning is an intensive skin-enhancing program, that clears and smoothes the skin within 3 days. Fast-absorbing active ingredients instantly regenerates skin.
This product was featured in meme box #4. 

This product was a three day at home testing kit. I am not going to complain that this a small trial sample because the two first products covered my box by almost three times what I paid for. 


Thoughts
I liked this box as well. I think that the value is good for what I pay. Now, I know that they have make-up boxes but I would've like to see more of a variety in the two first box that I have since they pretty much just offered products for facial hydration and cleaning. I would've liked to see a few more make-up items to try out. 

Have you received a MEMEbox? How did you like it?
