I have been lucky enough for Memebox (pronounced Me Me Box) to send me another box to review! This box is just amazing as well. I have since ordered some of their lovely boxes, I just can’t wait to receive them. Their boxes are very good value for money and shipping is reasonable considering it is coming straight from Korea. The box they sent me this time was Memebox Special #7 Milk the price of this box is $23 plus $6.99 p+p. I just love Korean cosmetics and I love how accessible they now are thanks to Memebox. They have a very large variety of boxes you can choose from and they also ship to 45 countries!
In this box I received 7, yes 7 Full Sized products! I definitely noticed the difference in weight compared to the first Memebox I received, this has to be my favourite one so far.

You get a detailed card in every box that lists the products you have received, it gives you a little bit of information about the item and also tell you how to use it. This is very important as without this there would be many products you would just not be able to figure out what they are or how to use them. The information on the products themselves are all in Korean, so unless you know Korean you will not know much about the product without this card.
I am loving the ‘Milk’ theme to this box. We all know the benefits of milk, but it is not something I ever tend to associate with skin care. Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, is a famous beauty icon who is known to have used milk as a secret ingredient for maintaining smooth, supple and radiant skin. Milk also has properties that repair sun damaged skin, prevent premature aging, and provide nutrients for a youthful look. With all this in mind I am excited to try these products.
Hello Everybody Bubble Bath Steam Milk – 24g – $4 (£2.40)
This is a single use sachet (so I believe) you pour into your bath tub, then fill the bath with hot/warm water and enjoy your very own bubbly milk bath. It has a mild vanilla fragrance, which you can even smell through the packaging! It contains almond oil, chamomile and rosemary leaf extracts, these help soften and nourish the skin. I am not sure how bubbly this product will be, I have never used a powder bubble bath before. I do really look forward to having a milk bath. This is not something I have ever had before and I think I may feel like Cleopatra for the day. I may have to get someone to feed me some grapes whilst I relax in the bath, oh and fan me with some big leaves!
Hello Everybody Nature Holic Body Lotion Milk – 300ml-$25 (£14.85)
This is a very good sized product and comes in a very handy pump action bottle, which will make using it so much easier. None of my other body lotions are in a pump action bottle, so this is very useful for me. This is an all-natural body lotion and is made from organic goat milk, which is extremely gentle, moisturising, and fast absorbing. This lotion is also rich in aloe vera, honey, lemon balm, and spearmint extracts. This lotion locks in the moisture and helps to keep your skin smooth and supple. This lotion is smooth and light and does absorb in the skin quickly, it has quite a nice smell to it which is not too strong. The smell kind of reminds me of talcum powder. My skin feels super soft though after using this product.
Pure Smile Choosy Lip Scrub – 25g – $11 (£6.55)
In this box you would have either received Peach Milk or Chamomile Milk, I received Chamomile Milk. I probably would have preferred the Peach Milk one as I love peach, but this one is still nice. This lip scrub is designed to remove any dead skin you may have on your lips, it also deeply nourishes and adds extra luster to your dry, chapped lips. It contains lots of natural ingredients such as sugar, peach extracts, milk protein extracts, chamomile extracts and bees wax. You get a bit of product on your finger (you don’t need too much though) and gently roll the lip scrub on your lips, after you have rubbed it around and feel you have exfoliated your lips enough, wipe of the product with a warm towel or tissue. After using this lip scrub it is suggested to apply a nourishing lip treatment, so apply your favourite lip balm to soothe and moisturise your lips.
Pure Smile Milk Mask Pack – 22ml – $1 (60p)
This is a sheet mask, which I am still yet to try. It says this will replenish your complexion into a baby-face with this milk pack rich in milk protein nutrients, which aid in hydrating and smoothing out uneven skin texture. After you have cleansed your face you apply the sheet mask and leave it on for 15-20 minutes. Before removing the sheet, gently pat in the remaining essence into your skin. By looking at the product it also looks like it contains collagen, hyaluronic acid and vitamin E. The little diagrams on the back amuse me, when I look at them they make me giggle. I think I am going to use this product with my Milk Bath, they will go very well together. I will relax in my bath with this milk face mask on, I should have super soft skin all over after that!
Skin Ceramic Donkey Milk & Argan Oil Multi Steam Cream – 100g – $34 (£20.20)
The packaging of this product is so cute I love it. It is a very substantial tub with a nice embossed donkey face on the top and the name of the cream. Inside is a nice and light cream, which is absorbed quickly into the skin leaving it feel hydrated and smooth. This product has no chemical preservatives, no artificial fragrance and no artificial colouring. This steam cream is made from 100% organic argan oil and natural donkey milk (from italy!). Donkey milk is apparently known to be more nutritious than milk or goat milk and it is also most similar to mothers’ breast milk. The cream delivers intense hydration and nutrition deep down into your skin and it is the whipped cream like texture that allows it to absorb softly and quickly. This cream doesn’t really smell of much, so it is suitable to use anywhere that is needed. This can be used on face, hands, body and hair. Check out the Skin Ceramic website Here. Apparently it is donkey milk which Cleopatra used to bathe in every day, so lets hope it is as good as she thought.
Enesti Rice & Milk Foam Cleanser – 120ml – $15 (£8.91)
Another product with cute packaging, it looks so pretty. This is a foam cleanser which is made from mineral rich hot spring water and is packed with rice and milk extracts. This product is designed to thoroughly cleanse deep into your pores and deliver rich moisture to leave you skin glowing. You should remove your make up first before using this cleanser. Lather up the foaming cleanser in your hands and then use the foam to massage over your face before rinsing off. I do like cleansing products like this as they leave your skin feeling really clean and soft, it is something I should definitely use a lot more of. This is a nice product to add to my bathroom cupboard.
Pure Smile Choosy Lip Pack Milk – $1 – 60p
Here is a more unusual product. I must say I have never seen anything like this before. This is pretty much like a face mask but for your lips! It contains milk protein extracts for strengthening the moisture level and reviving the glow of your lips. You just apply the patch to your lips to achieve silky smooth lips. This patch is to be left on for 15-30 minutes, I guess my partner will be happy with that as it will keep me quiet for that time! So only use this when you don’t want to talk, if you are like me then this will probably be a struggle! Think I had best use this when I am home alone. On the back of the packaging there are funny diagrams again, don’t know why I find them so amusing! But it also looks like you can use these patches somewhere else other than your lips! Not too sure why you would want to, but that maybe what some people want to do. It will definitely be interesting using this for the first time as I have never tried anything like it, but there is a first time for everything.
Verdict
I absolutely love this Memebox, I think it is great. There is such a good selection of full sized products and I get to try products which you can’t get in this country, I love being able to try new things. The milk theme is great, and not something I would have thought about when it comes to beauty products. The box was just jam packed with lots of goodies, and how cute are they! This is now definitely my new obsession, there are so many boxes to choose from as well, I can see why people order so many of them!
The boxes are very cute and bright pink, they come very well packaged and there were no customs charges which is great. You don’t sign up to a monthly box, you just chose from the vast choice they have on their website, and you can order as many or as little as you want! But you still get the surprise of the monthly boxes where you don’t know exactly what products you will receive.
