Beauteque BB Bag
Cost: $24 monthly
Cycle: Every Month
What is it: A Korean beauty subscription service that sends beauty and skin care items monthly. Along with English instructions for products that do not have them. Each month you get a makeup bag and they promise all full size products. The claim the value is triple the cost of the box and that you will receive at least six products. They also have a sheet mask subscription called Mask Maven that sends only sheet masks every month.
So Beauteque provides a nice detailed information card, that also lists the price of each item. Later on you’ll once again see that I found these to be less then accurate.
They also included a code for 10% and the code is BBREFER10.
So I’m not much of a fan of the bags they have sent. I have no need for more make up bags as I would assume most beauty junkies and subscription box addicts have more then enough at this point. I would prefer another product instead or even just do with out.
Scinic All Day Pore Control Toner
Full Size: 9.5 oz
Full Size Cost: $21.99
Sample Size: 6.76 oz
Value: $15.65
I am was super excited to get this. It is a liquid and powder toner, so there is a powder in the toner and you shake to combine and it is supposed to dry to a powdery matte finish on the skin. It is supposed to help mattify skin and clear out sebum in your pores and that is definitely a skincare concern of mine. I used this toner after cleansing my face with the cleansers I received in this box. It has a nice fresh lightly bamboo smell to it. It left my skin tight smooth and dry, but not mattified. I can not attest to the long term effects of controlling sebum but I do plan to continue using this.
Tsaio Charcoal Deep Purifying Cleanser
Full Size: 100 g
Full Size Cost: $11.99
Sample Size: 100 g
Value: $11.99
Another product I was super excited about, I love charcoal masks and skin care they work really well with my skin so a charcoal cleanser is something I will totally use up. This has charcoal, bergamot and lemon as the first three ingredients which seems like a nice line up and I like that I can pronounce all the major ingredients. This product comes out of the tube as a silvery/grey creamy paste it is a little weird to describe. It lathers up to a thin lather on the skin and washes away easily. My skin felt clean but not that dry squeaky clean feeling.
Holika Holika Pig Nose Clear Steam Starter
Full Size: 30 ml
Full Size Cost: $5
Sample Size: 30 ml
Value: $5
So this is a cool product its like a little mini mask for your blackheads. You massage it on for 3 to 5 minutes and then rinse off and it is supposed to loosen blackheads and absorb oils. It is a clear get that warms up as you rub it in, they don’t mention that in the info card. This made my skin feel very sticky, but the toner took away the sticky feeling and cooled my skin. I did notice this baling up a little after I had rubbed it in. I do not know if this is from actually clearing pores or just the product itself balling up I did not see an immediate difference. This product is $7 on the memebox website and is on sale for $5 as of right now.
Kinepin Wheet Feet Stone
Full Size: Yes
Full Size Cost: $4.99
Nothing super special about a pumice stone but a solid usable product all the same. It is a nice size as well. Not quite the $8 value they claim though.
Holika Holika Golden Monkey Lip Patch
Full Size: Yes
Full Size Cost: $4
Oh this is cool I have been dying to try one of these lip mask things and my lips have been so chapped lately. I can’t wait to use this and have a little lip pamper session before a night out. The monkeys are so cute.
Vov Color Song Eyes in 7244 She’s a Golden Beige
Full Size: 2 g
Full Size Cost: $10.99
Sample Size: 2 g
Value: $10.99
I wish I had gotten a different shade golden glimmer eye shadows are just so common I feel but it is very smooth and soft with a really fine glitter shimmer to it. I think this will look really pretty as a highlight so that is how I intend to try it out. Swatched below.
Total: $52.62
Listed Value: $68.47
Just like last month the box came very late and the value is lower than the listed value. Putting all that aside I am in love with this month’s box and really excited to use all of these products and it was literally a box made for my skin type even those they don’t customize by skin type. I imagine people with dry skin will not be pleased with this month’s box but last month’s box was more about moisture so there is a balance.
