Because, Memebox Haul

I used to think Memebox was a subscription service (with the name, who can blame me?). It wasn't until I saw Pony's "That Girl" makeup tutorial which showcased her very own holiday edition makeup, which Memebox carried. That was when I realized Memebox, uh, sold stuff without commitment.

The arrival of my Memebox haul officially marks the beginning of my skin discovery journey. A description of what I purchased as well as links to purchase the products from Memebox are below.

The gift I received with my order was a Tosowoong Pure Green Tea sheet mask ($2). That sheet mask was like a leech, sucking away whatever moisture was on the surface of my skin. It seems to have some pretty decent reviews on Memebox, so maybe it just didn't work for me (I wish I could just look at the ingredients and go, "OH, THAT'S WHY". One day!).

Secret Key Lemon Sparkling Peeling Gel ($9)

As mentioned in my first post, this product has since been shelved. Not because it didn't do it's job, but maybe because it did it's job too well. While exfoliating, clumps of what resemble dead skin form and I would stare at the mirror in confusion while I continued scrubbing god knows what back and forth on the surface of my skin. I'm not entirely convinced it's dead skin cells, but I'll be damned if it still isn't gross.

Pros: I heard it's low pH
Cons: The clumps of dead skin has to be an unnecessary gimmick.

Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask ($11)

Haven't tried yet, but I have high hopes for this.

Cosrx AHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner ($16)

This is currently used in my 3-step routine. Full post dedicated to it later.

Skin Factory 7 Seconds Morning Sheet ($19)

The thought of only having to spend 7 seconds massaging the face and then 7 seconds patting the product into the skin made this purchase a no-brainer. Unfortunately, I still haven't found that 14 seconds to try this product, but it's queued up for use in the near future (aka when I get seriously lazy).

Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream ($22)

This is waiting to get added into my current routine. Originally I planned on having this be the first "introduced" product into my current 3-step routine; however, I'm not sure if that makes sense anymore (because the mature me would wait at least a month in order to properly evaluate my current 3-step routine).

Holika Holika Pig Nose Clear Blackhead 3 Step Kit ($2.55 each)

A month ago, I purchased a similar product from TJ Maxx, the Mediheal PiggyMom SoakSoak Nose-Pack ($10.90 for 5 pieces from YesStyle). I love the satisfaction of seeing dirt - when it's not on my nose, hah!

Thanks for making it this far!  None of the links above are referral links, but I owe it to myself to at least provide it once [Referral link].  You will get 20% off your first purchase and I will receive a $10 credit.  Of course, if you'd rather not click on the referral link, no harm, no foul, you can either go directly to Memebox or click any of the links to the products above.  Welps, until next time!

With s2, Bunny
