Unboxing Post: BDJBox October 2014 - Skin Savers

To be honest, I almost forgot about my BDJ Subscription. Maybe I was too preoccupied with my Memeboxes. Or probably, a month's worth of waiting time is simply too much for me to think about on a regular basis.

Nonetheless, I was pleasantly surprised when I got my BDJBox for October 2014 earlier today.

Judging by the boxes I received, BDJ must have decided on becoming extra generous for this month. Not only did I receive a big BDJBox, I got an extra box as well!

And, it says: SKIN SAVERS!

Way to go, BDJBox! 

Here are the snapshots of the contents I received from two boxes:

Well, see for yourself if the products are really worth the wait! 

I have arranged the products according to my preferences:

Dial Cleansing Pair

Dial Coconut Water Body Wash (437ml)

The first of its kind to contain coconut water, this hydrating body wash gives you youthful skin every time you shower.

First off, this body wash is HUGE! It's almost half a liter!

And, it smells really heavenly. Truth be told, I sense a hint of coconut, which I'm not really a fan of, but I love how Dial incorporated the coco scent into the body wash. Smells sooo heavenly. I love it!

Can't wait to use it real soon! 

The Dial Coconut Water Body Wash in 437ml retails at Php 200. 

Dial Coconut Water Soap (113g)

This bar is infused with moisture from coconut water and bamboo leaf extract, to hydrate your skin naturally. 

I preferred the body wash over the soap, simply because I favor body washes over hard soaps nowadays. Nonetheless, this soap smells just like the body wash, which I really, really love at first whiff. I can't wait to use this real soon as well!

According to the BDJ curator card, a trio of this costs Php 140. Therefore, a Dial Coconut Water Soap in 113g must be around Php 50. 

My Choice Smooth Skin Pack

My Choice Spa Salt (500g) - Mango

Maintain your skin's youthful glow with this salt scrub that's packed with antioxidants and vitamins. 

Now, this is one brand that I haven't heard before. Mychoice reminds me of Echoice, which is a cheap Korean cosmetics brand. The former, apparently, was made in Thailand, so there's no obvious association with the latter. 

Funny how both Mychoice and Echoice remind me of Iphone and Myphone. 

Obviously, I got the Mychoice Mango variant, which claims to help in improving the skin's condition caused by sun damage. I find the claim difficult to believe though, but I'm really happy that BDJ finally sent us a salt scrub. Now, I have something else to use other than The Body Shop scrubs I hauled last month. 

This My Choice Spa Salt in 500g, despite its size, is being sold for cheap! It's Php 100 each! 

Now, there's a common denominator between Mychoice and Echoice, and that is: PRICE! 

My Choice Hand and Body Lotion (90ml)

This creamy lotion is concocted with natural ingredients, as well as collagen to nourish and protect your skin from harmful free radicals. 

It's another Mychoice product! This time, it's a hand and body lotion in the Mango variant.

Its short descriptions mention sun protection, which I believe is pretty similar with the salt scrub claims.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to use it soon, but I'm glad I got another lotion as backup.

The My Choice Hand and Body Lotion in 90ml retails for Php 70 each. 

You think I'm already done talking about Mychoice products? Think again!

Mychoice added two more sachets (in sample sizes, of course) to my BDJBox. One is a salt scrub in Mango variant, while the other is a body lotion in Carrot variant.

These are definitely travel-friendly so I'm keeping them in my travel bag just in case!

Dove Hair Fall Rescue (7ml x 7 vials)

As the first hair care system that treats hair loss from the roots, Dove Hair Fall Rescue has infused Trichazole, soy protein and ginseng into their hair tonic, to reduce damage at the roots and lock your hair firmly in place, effectively lessening hair fall due at the source in just two weeks. Their formula feeds vital nutrients deep inside your hair, defending it from external stress and breakage. 

I admit I considered purchasing this set from Watsons before, but I figured, the price tag was too much for me. Good thing BDJ Box gave me a chance to try it out! After all, I loved those Dove Hair Vitamins BDJBox sent out last month. 

I wonder if this is any better? 

And I do have a question just out of curiosity, just how exactly a hair fall formula fits in to a SKIN SAVERS box? 

I wonder... 

Dove Hair Fall Rescue set retails for Php 470. 

Strip RPT Kit

Strip Ice Cream (sample)RELIEVE - This soothing, calming whip delight calms your inflamed skin - perfect as post-hair removal treatment. 

I know I need this, because I wax on a regular basis. How I wish I could get a full-sized version of this!

Malin + Goetz Peppermint Body Scrub (sample)PREVENT - With bamboo and pumice to help shed dead skin, this cooling and creamy scrub will prevent ingrown hair.

I'm not too keen on using peppermint body scrubs at the moment. I have far too many scrubs now, and this sachet makes it to the most disinteresting body scrub stash.

Malin + Goetz Ingrown Hair Cream (sample) TREAT - It contains papaya and pineapple enzyme to eliminate ingrown hair, as well as vitamins B5 and E to repair your skin.

I need this so badly! I've got to try this, and if it works, I won't think twice on expend my hard-earned cash on this.

Yves Rocher Zero Blemish Gel Cream (samples)

This will be your secret to flawless and smooth skin! Formulated with Baikal Powder which is recognized for its re-balancing virtues, it absorbs excess sebum and minimizes pores. It also hydrates for a full 24 hours, so you don't need to worry about over-drying your skin. Dab the fresh gel cream on your t-zone for all day protection against blemish and shine. 

Breakouts are definitely a big 'no-no' for me, but sadly, I frequently suffer from them. So, these sachets would really come in handy - I hope. 

Revlon Colorstay 16-hour Eye Shadow Quad (1.09 oz) - 575 Delightful Charmant

Rich, velvety shadows blend smoothly so you can easily contour and highlight your eyes. Beautiful color wears for up to 16 hours, won't crease, fade or smudge, so it will always look freshly applied. It comes in a palette of expertly color-coordinated shades that you can mix and match for your most gorgeous peepers yet. 

I had high hopes for this quad, but I must say, this is just horrible. I admit that the colors look pretty interesting on the palette. They stand out - they sure do. 

But, when I swatched them, the shades were literally close to nothing at all. As if there was no pigmentation. The white one is white though, and the darkest has a little shade to it.

But the rest? You better forget about them. The rest of the colors are really close to nothing at all. 

This quad is disappointing. I really couldn't find a redeeming factor to it. This turns out even more disappointing, especially that the name itself promises a 16-hour staying power for the shadows. It doesn't even show color, so why promise a 16-hour staying power?  

And, they're chalky, too. 

And, the applicator broke right after a couple of swipes. 

Cheaper brands seem to work better than this quad. 

Revlon, you used to be a favorite of mine. How in the world were you able to release a product as horrible as this? 

According to the curator card the Revlon Colorstay 16-hour Eye Shadow Quad retails for Php 795. 

L'Oreal Paris Youth Duo

L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Laser x3 Serum (sample) 
Enriched with ceramide pro to stimulate the skin's renewal process, this serum reduces fine lines and refines skin texture in just 4 weeks. 

L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Laser x3 Anti-Aging Day Cream (sample) 
This day cream has LHA to smoothen pores and 3% concentrated pro-xylane for replumped skin. Apply over the serum for better results. 

A few months back, I bought a full-sized Loreal Revitalift V-Shaper Essence in full price - Php 995 (I think). 

I really thought, it would be fun to try. But despite the high pricetag, it didn't work for me. I mean, there were no visible changes on my facial skin, and my cheaper skin care products seem to work better than the L'Oreal Revitalift Essence. So, I eventually quit. 

I figured that I should lower my expectations on this product when it comes to skincare. However, this doesn't mean that I won't try these two samples at all. Still, I will, but like I said, I already managed my expectations. 

These tubes are very tiny, by the way. So, they go right into my travel bag. 

Overall

I love everything in this box, except for the Revlon Quad. Nonetheless, I could feel that I got my money's worth with BDJBox.

BDJBox, thank you!

Love lots,


Newbee

Unboxing Post: BDJBox October 2014 - Skin Savers

Unboxing Post: Memebox Special #35 - Moisture Surge + October Discount Coupon Codes

Memebox is a hit, 'cause I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only one who's purchasing tons of boxes in a 3-month period. I've known some people, from different countries, who have had 20 or more boxes! Talk about Memebox addiction!

Anyway, Memebox (pronounced as "mi-mi box"), seems to take the word "Me!" into a whole different level. It's like an "everything-for-me" box, which really sounds so appealing. It worked for me, and obviously, for those who keep on coming back for more Memeboxes!

Nonetheless, I have something new for ME, again:

ANOTHER MEMEBOX!

It's Memebox Special # 35 - Moisture Surge:

It's a dry skin smackdown! Dry, flaky skin sucks almost as much as breakouts and oily skin! Whether you're dealing with an all-over moisture problem or battling just a few annoying dry patches, this Moisture Surge Box will cure all, even during the harshest fall and winter months! This box will lock in moisture for a dewy and supple complexion, and fortify the skins' moisture barrier for all day hydration! 

This was the very first box I purchased despite being broke, and probably the first and the last to be purchased from the Memeshop, without availing the free express shipping upgrade. Can you blame me? I was really desperate to get my hands on this, because I badly need moisturizing products. Honestly, the rest of my purchases (so far) from the Memeshop were all 'wants', while this, I figured, is a NEED.

It's a pretty light box, so by the time I had my hands on it, I lowered my expectations a bit. Well, the first two Memeboxes I got, which were Diet Box and Herbal Cosmetics, were a bit heavier than this one. Nonetheless, my heart was telling me to rip the packaging off, to finally see what's inside.

So, here's a preview:



Now that you've seen the lot, let's take a look at each! The products are arranged according to my preferences:

Original Raw Deluxe Kit ver. 3.0 30ml x 3each ($60)

Black Bubble

Made from all naturally-derived cleansing complex, the Black Bubble boosts its auto-bubble system which works when the oxygen transmitter from its formula meets the air and automatically transforms into fine, minute bubbles for cleansing deep into and throughout your face.

Chan-mool Patting Essence 

Tangly and jelly-like textured, this Chan-mool Patting Essence relieves, moisturizes, brightens, and tightens up the skin all-in-one, by creating a protective moisture barrier. 

Water Block Black Jam

The black component extracted from plants and the super hyaluronic acid combine together to create a moisture wall over your skin. A single application will last you up to 48 hours without any further rehydration. 

The spoiler for this product came out a few days after I ordered this box. Nonetheless, I felt so happy when I figured that it's a set of three skincare products. I don't think each tube is full-sized though. All of which look small, but definitely perfect for travel. Since the set contains small tubes and all, I think I'm going to toss the whole set to my travel bag. A girl could never have too many skincare products!

Honestly, I don't think the set is worth $60 at all, but I have no proof whatsoever. I wonder if Memebox bloated the price for this? $60 per set just sounds too much for a skincare product.

Rosemoon Rich 53% Collagen Smart Balm 50ml  ($47) 

This Collagen Smart Balm is a nourishing facial cream for deeply hydrating the skin and strengthening the skin's innate strength and function. Experience super soft, moist, and well-protected skin the next morning with this collagen-rich formula! 

Anything with collagen is welcome - at least, for me. I love products with collagen because majority of them are very effective in nourishing facial skin. So far, I think Etude House Collagen Line has the best collagen products I've tried. I wonder if this product could keep up with Etude House's reputation? We'll find out soon.

Dermahouse Aloe Vera Moisture Mist 120ml ($14)

It's a moisture splurge for all those super dry and sensitive skin out there! whether your face is overheated from excessive exposure to sun or dry  and irritated from an exhausting day, Dermahouse's Aloe Vera Mist delivers and instant replenishing and soothing effect with just a single spritz! Experience softer, healthier, and more radiant skin. 

When it comes to toners and mists, I prefer ones with 'green labels'. By green labels, I mean, those that give away 'green tea' or 'aloe' as main ingredients. I'm really glad Memebox included this, which I know for sure that would be something I could use in the near future.

Among the products included in this box, I believe this will be the very first one I will use, as I'm currently running out of my 'green tea' facial mist.

Insobeau Hiaromax Vitamin Stick 10g ($29) 

A quick 1-second swipe of this Hiraromax Vitamin Stick along especially dry areas of your face - eye contours, mouth contour, cheeks - will instantly replenish and moisturize the skin for a brighter and suppler complexion overall! Plus, the rich vitamin and hyaluronic acid formula works to cool, soothe, and even treat enlarged pores. 

I've had mixed feelings when I first picked this up, because for one, it's a moisturizer in an intriguing form. Second, its description sounds like a spot treatment for dry skin. For now , I couldn't see myself using this as I still have quite a number of moisturizers lined up for use.

I'm also quite concerned because it's in a stick form. I dread products in stick forms, even lippies, because I live in a tropical country. In case you're not aware, I've had experiences with products melting out because of the heat. I hope this vitamin stick wouldn't give me some problems!

Imface Vio-Xellose Neck Patch 10ml ($5) 

Naturally-derived coconut jelly texture, Imface's special botanical wrinkle complex extracts and adenosine complex all work to treat signs of aging along your neckline. This product is free of paraben, benzophenone, sulfate, artificial pigment, and artificial fragrance. 

I hate it when Memebox considers a single mask sheet as a full-sized item. You can never get to know a sheet mask's worth if you only got one or two of the same variant to try, which is why I'm not too interested in sheet masks included Memeboxes. 

This product would have been very interesting, but it's close to nothing because I won't get to experience how this will work out on my skin. Also,would you believe that this sheet is worth $5 each?! I, for one, wouldn't believe it. 

Wish Formula Premium Ampoule Mask 1 pc ($14)

This miracle Premium Ampoule Mask improves the skin's natural recovery power while it also works to combat wrinkles and deeply nourishes the skin, leaving it moist, supple, and radiant.

Okay, another mask, with a pricetag of $14 each, which I believe is very preposterous. Once again, I'm not too keen on trying this one out, because it's a single piece of mask!

Overall

It's almost impossible to conclude that Memeboxes are not worth the time and money - because so far, they have been doing great! I love how they curate 'new' products, and I love how they make the most out of the money you pay them. These are a few of the many reasons why I simply adore Memebox.

True, there are a few products that may not catch our fancy, but most products are very usable. I believe that some of the products I didn't like, were like bonus items. Thankfully, everytime I open a Memebox, I always find products that make me happy.

This particular box, Moisture Surge, is no different from the last few Memeboxes I unboxed. Majority of the products I received were great, while the rest, were bonuses. I love all the items included in this box, except for a couple of masks.

Well, that's all for today's unboxing! Watch out for my next unboxing post!

See you!

Unboxing Post: Memebox Special #35 - Moisture Surge + October Discount Coupon Codes

Unboxing Post: BDJBox September 2014 - Beauty Innovations

I remember the unboxing I've done for the past few boxes, and I just realized, that maybe, just maybe, there were times my expectations were just too much for BDJ. I mean, I must have been suffering from hormonal imbalance when I made my rants. Or, I was already too happy when I thought I was happy with the products I unboxed.

I don't know if this makes sense to you, but the thing is, I should try to 'calm' myself prior to unboxing, to know which products deserve appreciation, and which ones don't.

Anyway, here it is:

The box is bigger than the usual BDJBox, and heavier, too!

It says, BEAUTY INNOVATIONS.

This is it! Finally, new things that I could try! I wonder which new products/brands are included? 

Here comes the awaited unboxing!!



Well, see for yourself if it's a good box, or not.

I have arranged the products according to my preferences:

Pond's Dewy Rose Gel, 10g

Dewy, soft skin is now easy to achieve with Pond's Institute's newest formulation. Flawless White Dewy Rose Gel. This whitening gel is infused with Rose Lumiere Serum that goes deep into the skin to lighten dark spots and smoothen pores outside giving you that rosy glow you've always wanted. 

It says whitening, which I'm not really a fan of; but, I don't really mind. For as long as I won't look like a ghost with this, I'm very willing to give this a go. I've always wanted that 'glowing' look, and I know most of us do. However, so far, I could only achieve the 'glowing' look by using selected Korean products.

Apparently, this is a new product from Pond's; so really, I can't wait to use it!

Each Pond's Dewy Rose Gel 10g retails for Php 150. I got two,by the way.

Notice that both products look really small when compared to my hand.


Jergen's Moisture Pack (includes Ultra Healing Lotion 100ml, Daily Moisture 200ml) 

Jergen's Ultra Healing Lotion, 100ml

Be the first to try this newly relaunched body lotion that's formulated with a Hydralucence Blend to go deep beneath skin's surface to heal dryness at the source. 

Jergen's Daily Moisture, 200ml

Infused with moisturizing Silk Proteins and a Citrus Extract, this reformulated lotion leaves the skin looking and feeling silky and smooth all day long. 

Wow, two full-sized products!

Although I'm not really a fan of lotions without SPF, I think these are worth  trying because both products promise moisture. I believe these are 'new' products as well. I hope these are not sticky!

The Healing Lotion retails for Php 88, while the Daily Moisture retails at Php 153.

Cream Silk Daily Treatment Conditioner, 180ml (2pcs) 

This product combines the benefits of a weekly hair treatment with the speed of a daily conditioner. It's formulated with a Vita-boost complex, that deeply penetrates the hair strand to nourish it from within.  

Use it in place of your regular conditioner to pamper your hair everyday. With 4 variants to choose from, you're sure to find one that addresses your hair concerns. 

I know these conditioners are not really 'new' but I'm glad they included two of these because I could use them. BDJ has just saved me from purchasing another tube of conditioner from the grocery. Yeah!!! 

Beach Hut Clear Spray, 180ml 

Gone are the days of having to spread that sticky, messy sunblock on your skin! Stay longer under the sun without worrying about those harmful rays. It provides better, easier and even application than your ordinary sunblock lotion. Just spray and go! 

I am an avid user of sunblocks and/or sunscreens, and I stock up of a whole lot of them whenever I get the chance. I considered buying this particular sunblock, probably a few months ago, but I hesitated, because it's 'spray type'. 

A friend of mine told me that she used to apply spray type sunblock on her skin. However, this didn't work out for her because according to her, spray-type sunblock are so sticky, that dust and grime accumulate on your skin whenever you wear it. The dirt and everything else would stick, unless of course, you wash it off. 

For me, it was like listening to a horror story. Who would want to experience that kind of thing?

Nonetheless, I'm happy that BDJ included this so that we could try it. I'm hoping that this Beach Hut wouldn't be a disaster. If it's entirely different from the product that was in the 'horror story', I would be very glad to repurchase.

The Beach Hut Clear Spray in 180ml retails at Php 390.00 each. 

Dove Intense Repair Daily Hair Vitamin, 6ml x 12 capsules   

Lock in the nourishment for your hair the whole day by using these newly launched hair vitamins infused with Vitamin E and botanical extracts from Dove. Packaged in individual capsules to keep the formula fresh, simply cut out the end to squeeze the contents on your palms and apply to the middle section of your hair down to the tips for long lasting shine and smoothness. 

I've seen quite a lot of these at Watsons, but I never considered purchasing. Upon reading the description, I thought, it might not be a bad idea to try these after all.

Each blister pack of 6 capsules retails for Php 75.

Godiva Cleansing Kit 

Godiva Licowhite Whitening Facial Wash 

Its low-foaming, soap-free formula is infused with Licorice Root Extract, to gently cleanse your skin, leaving it with a softer, smoother glow. 

Godiva Licowhite Whitening Toner 

Get longer-lasting whiter skin with this toner formulated with Glabridin to effectively even out skintone and get rid of stubborn makeup gently. 

The last five products in this list can be found at Watsons. However, the Godiva products are not the kind of products I would purchase from there. I was never a fan of 'whitening' stuff. However, I wouldn't want to waste these, so I'm placing them in my travel kit.

By the way, why in the world are we, Filipinos, so obsessed with whitening products? Why not turn to brightening products instead? 

The facial wash in 50ml retails at Php 85, while the toner in 60ml costs Php 60.

FS Gel Liner, 5ml 

Say goodby to your pencils and hello to this gel-based eyeliner from FS! It's soft on the lids and rich in definition, so you can easily define your eyes. It comes in a 5ml elegant glass bottle and also comes with a free brush! It glides on smoothly helping you effortlessly achieve the look you want.

I've been trying to stay clear of FS cosmetics because of this Gel Liner. I have tried this (the black variant) sometime in 2010, but I was disappointed. 'Long-wear' gel eyeliner is nothing but lies. Expect smudges and panda eyes with this.

Also, I'm a little doubtful with it because it doesn't have an expiration date printed on its packaging. I'm a little paranoid, because the other FS product in the box, is about to expire on February 2015! That's  less than 5 months! Talk about 'beauty innovations'.

According to the curator card, this gel liner retails for Php 299.

FS Single Eye Shadow, 4g

These easy to blend powder eye shadows from FS are a great way to build up your eyeshadow collection. They come in varying finishes - shimmer, matte, satin and glitter that you can mix and match to create the look that you want. Their silky textures make it easy to blend on your eyes and also prevents product fallout. 

Lastly, meet the FS Single Eye Shadow. This came in last because, it's damaged and it's FS. Sorry, I was really upset with my gel liner, so I had to lower my expectations on the brand. I'm thinking of giving this away, or keeping this for myself. Expiry date is on February 2015, so I have to decide real soon!

Each FS Single Eyeshadow in 4g retails at Php 150.00 each,

Overall:

My idea of a 'good' box:

• contains new products
• contains practical products
• contains products that are not close to expiry
• great value for money (overall)

Hence, based on my criteria, this is a good box, because it managed to fulfill some of my expectations. Obviously, the not-so-new products included in the box, are the FS cosmetics, and maybe the Jergens lotions, while the rest are simply waiting to be tested.

Overall, I'm happy I got this box, because I could 'feel' that I get great value for my money.

Please let me know by commenting below if there's any product in the box that you'd like me to review. 'Til then!

Love lots,

Newbee


P.S.

I'll be unboxing another Memebox real soon, so stay tuned!

Unboxing Post: BDJBox September 2014 - Beauty Innovations

Unboxing Post: Memebox Special #27 Diet Box + Coupons

Today is a very special day because...

<drumroll please!>

MEMEBOX! I now have my very first MEMEBOX!

Two boxes in one!

Fancy box! :) 

As a matter of fact, I got two!

One is the Memebox Special #27 Diet Box, which I will talk about in this post, while the other is the Memebox Superbox #31 Herbal Cosmetics!

Sorry, but I'll do the Herbal Cosmetics Unboxing some other time, but please do stick with me! I would really love to share to everybody my excitement even over the second box.  

Believe me, I'm the happiest person in town right now. I have never thought that getting my hands on these babies would leave me grinning from ear to ear. You can't blame me, right? I've waited for these two for like a little over a month to be shipped. Plus, those Memebox unboxing posts that came before mine were really, really tempting!

Do I have an addictive personality? I hope not because even before my first Memebox arrived, I ordered 5 other boxes! So far, I paid for 7 Memeboxes. I'm hopeful that everything is worth the money and the long wait.

Ohhh, watch out for my unboxing posts on those babies as well!

In case you're not familiar with Memebox, I'll brief you on what it is and how you could avail its services.


Memebox was first established in Korea, and it eventually made it to the global market - shipping to various countries from all over the globe, including US and the Philippines. Memebox offers beauty boxes of varied themes and purposes. And clients could choose which boxes would suit their needs and budget, for as long as the preferred items are still available.

Well, obviously I chose two boxes from the list, the Diet Box and the Herbal Cosmetics, which are not available anymore. But don't fret. You might find something else that would catch your fancy. Or if you're lucky, Memebox might release another version of my boxes in the future! :) They've done this to some of their bestselling boxes!


Anyway, let's get down to business! Let's take a peek at what the Memebox Special #27 Diet Box has in store for me (and the other subscribers!):

Memebox Special # 27 Diet Box

Need a little help this summer with your diet plan? Target problem areas by tightening and firming up the jiggle with new and trendy Korean diet creams, massagers, and edibles! It’ll tone up your thighs for signature Korean “honey thighs”, give you bomb abs that will make you look like you’re ready to debut as a member of a K-Pop girl group, and give you and envious S-line curve that’s all in the rage in Korea.

Take a look at the curator card!

I must say: that was pretty bold of Memebox to promise girls with “honey thighs”and “bomb abs”, just with a few products. Also, it seems that Memebox had probably gone too far on promising its Diet Box subscribers a “K-Pop Member” body.

I know it sounds crazy, and impossible, but I gave in anyway. Obviously, I bought the diet box, weeks ago, despite the skepticism. Well, I could never run out of anything new to try!

Anyway, let’s move on to the unboxing!

Now, what’s inside the Memebox Special # 27 Diet Box?

Items are arranged according to my preferences:

Dermahouse Lifting Shape Up Hot Gel 200ml

The caffeine, coffee extracts, hot pepper extracts, mate leaf extracts, and vanillyl butlyl ether formula of the hot gel uses heat to break down formation of cellulite and offers relaxing care for maintaining a healthier, sleeker body line.

Hot gels are great to use, despite the fact that results are usually close to nothing.

I’m hoping that this won’t sting. I've tried some hot gels in the past, and I found out that some were comfortable to use, while the others sting like crazy! It’s so painful that you want to rip your skin off!

This one looks promising, though. It did mention “relaxing care”, which sounds really good to me. I’ll be using this tonight. I hope I’ll feel relaxed.

Also, I wish that it could do something about my bulging tummy cellulites. According to the curator card, the Dermahouse Lifting Shape Up Hot Gel 200ml retails at $34.

Kepaclub Frozen Body Ggong Ggong Gel 100g

               

 There are two types of body fat – the brown fat which works to maintain the body’s temperature and the white fat which can double and triple in its size unlimitedly and is ultimately responsible for causing obesity. Frozen Body Ggong Ggong gel works to specifically break down and target the white fat and prevent the brown fat from decreasing in its size.

Well, I got a hot gel, and a cold one as well! But, is there really something like brown fat and white fat? How come it’s the first time I heard of it?

I admit this one’s really interesting.

According to the curator card, you could store this thing in the freezer. There’s no worry on freezing it, whatsoever, because it’s formulated not to freeze.

Well, there’s no harm in trying this one. J

Each KepaClub Frozen Body Ggong Ggong Gel in 100g tube retails at $16.

LG Health Care Slim Fit Sparkling Shot (7g x 14)

Grapefruit flavored and packed with Vitamin B, Vitamin C, concentrated cranberry powder, and chicory extracts powder, LG Health Care’s Slim Fit Sparkling Shot is the new popular diet drink among young Koreans. Simply mix in the powder with water and take 1 drink each day, and the Garcinia Cambogia extracts work to deter the transformation of carbohydrates into body fats, ultimately preventing any build-up of body fats around your thighs and love-handles.

I was kind of expecting diet edibles, as mentioned in the description, but I can’t find anything at all! 

Nada. 

Nothing.

But, this…

This is the closest thing to the edibles – a powdered drink, which I’m quite skeptical about.

LG?

LG – yep. As in LG -  as in the one that sells/manufactures appliances. Take a look at the logo at the bottom of the box, you’ll understand what I’ve been trying to say.

I hope this doesn’t taste terrible!

The LG Health Care Slim Fit Sparkling Shot (7g x 14) retails at $24.

Ferderma Egyptian Diet Soap 100g

No need to starve with this sensational Egyptian Diet Soap which helps to maintain a beautiful body line only through 5-10 minutes of massaging while taking a shower. The spicy menthol, sweet fennel, horseradish, dandelion extracts, grapefruit, cinnamon oil, lemon oil, and rosemary oil work to alleviate knotted muscles, improve the flexibility and balance of the body, and provide aroma therapeutic effects for relieving stress level as well. Plus, it’s free of paraben, artificial fragrance, and artificial coloring; Ferderma strives to provide only nature-friendly and skin-beneficial beauty regime.

Honestly, I don’t expect much slimming effects from this soap, but since it promises a great deal of stuff – eg stress relief, and improvement on the body’s flexibility and balance (whatever that means), I feel like it’s really worth a try. Also, it's so pretty! 

On the other hand, it makes me want to keep this for later since the retail price for this tiny soap is $18. Quite a pricetag, don’t you think?

SXM I Value Body Ampoule 7ml

This is a liquid-type of ampoule to help control your body line. Its formula can be divided into 3 main functions of the ampoule. Adiposlim, adipoless, and caffeine components help break down and control level of cellulites, while lyslastine V patent rh-polypeptide-7, and palmitoy oligopeptide work to maintain your body line well moisturized and silky smooth.

First of all, I think there are so many clerical errors in the curator card. It mentions so many unfamiliar chemicals that I’m sure a lot of us don’t know about. I figured there could be something wrong because the one who encoded it got the “Garcinia cambogia” all wrong. My suggestion is, don’t mind the ingredients/chemicals too much.

I’m pretty sure though that Adiposlim is correct, and I do love the fact that they mentioned Adiposlim. You’ll find out later why I’m glad I found Adiposlim in this product.

I think this product is promising, but it’s so tiny at 7ml retailed at $5. I read somewhere that effects would be visible after 28 days of use of this product. Sadly, 7ml could only cover 3 - 10 uses. If this is a bigger product, say, 30ml, I would have been more interested in it. 

Purederm Miracle Body Shaping Treatment 2each

Purederm’s Miracle Body Shaping Treatment is made from a patented complex, “Bodyfit”, which has proven to be highly effective in breaking down excess cellulites and preventing body fats from piling up. The caffeine components also work to remove puffiness along your body line, and the moisturizing components such as olive oil and sweet almond oil help maintain body skin highly moist and supple.

This is a sight for sore eyes, because among all the products listed in this box, the Purederm Miracle Body Shaping Gel is the most familiar one. 

Hey! Watson's sell these stuff! Scan the firming lotion section in the nearest Watson's store in your area, and you'll know what I'm talking about. The thing is, I love this product so much that I've kept 20 packets of this once. It contains adiposlim, which is indeed very effective in minimizing cellulites, in my experience though. But you'll have to use it regularly so as to maintain the figure. 

Honestly, I was a bit saddened by Memebox for only including 2 of these. On top of that, the curator card even stated that each patch retails for $5. Well, I got mine BUY 1 TAKE 1 at Php 150. That's roughly $2 each! 

Nonetheless, this is something I could use. 

STC Massage Roller 60g

This is a massage roller for breaking down excess cellulites and alleviating puffy areas of your body. It is best recommended to be used with a lifting or firming body gel/cream. 

I think I have seen something like this before...

Can you buy this from Divisoria? Isn't this from Divisoria? 

For me, I think this is the least exciting product in the box. I mean, they don't really expect us to tone down with this stuff right?

Would you believe that this tiny roller costs $6 each? Well, that's how the curator card states it. One thing's for sure, though: I will never purchase anything like it. 

OVERALL

Well, that's all for the Memebox Special #27 Diet Box! Each item in this box is considered full sized. Although, there some things that I wasn't quite happy about, I still believe that overall, it's a good box. There are so many new things to try, and the products look promising!

I got the Memebox Special #27 Diet Box and Memebox Superbox #31 Herbal Cosmetics at $68.00 + shipping. I personally think it's worth my hard-earned money, which is why I bought a whole lot more of Memeboxes!
