"Famously known as the Hawaii of Korea, Jeju Island bursts with natural beautifying ingredients such as citrus, green tea, volcanic ash, and other famous Jeju Island natives that are sure to soothe and pamper to give you the beauty vacation that you need!
Open this box, and you’ll be instantly transported to this gem of an island, and experience all the beauty benefits that Jeju-derived ingredients offer!"
This is a very promising description! And there are a few specific clues on what will be in the box, citrus, green tea and volcanic ash! Sounds great!
This is what I received in my box:
Etude House: Clear & Moist Green Tea Blending Sleeping Cream - full size - $2
price: $2 (~£1.20) full size product. 6g, price according to memebox
value to me: £1.2 Even if the cream is not great, it's definitely worth £1.20 only for the novelty factor!
Etude House: Soothing & Clean Green tea Mask Pack - full size product - $1
price: $1 (~£0.60) full size product. 20ml, price according to memebox
value to me: 60p You can't go wrong with a 60p mask!
Skindeco: Volcanic Pore Clay Sparkling Heating Mask - full size - $33
Here is some volcanic action from Jeju! The Volcanic Pore Clay Sparkling Heating Mask by Skindeco promises to "melt away all oil, dirt, and sebum and tighten up enlarged pores". It contains volcanic clay, sparkling mineral water and plankton from Jeju island! WOW! I have never put plankton on my face! lol You use it like any other mask, you spread it over clean face and you rinse it off after 15 minutes. The label doesn't look of high quality but the mask is really well sealed. |
value to me: £10 £20 it's a bit steep but I have to try it before I decide how much it's worth. £10 is what I would pay without a lot of hesitation for a clay mask.
Secret Nature: From Jeju Serum - full size product - £12
This bottle looks so elegant and classy! From Jeju Serum by Secret Nature contains organic broccoli, carrot, aloe (65%) and asparagus! It sounds like a vegeterian dish! It's also free of paraben, artificial coloring, benzophenon, talc, TEA (that's not the tea we drink!) and artificial gragrance! It sounds very friendly to the skin! This serum helps to improve skin tone & skin elasticity. I look forward to trying it! price: £12.11 full size product. 50ml, I found this price on ebay.co.uk. Memebox priced it for $33. value to me: £12 Reasonable price for a serum |
The Yeon: Jeju Hallabong Ade Energy Peeling Toner - full size - $19
price: $19 (~ £11) full size product. 200ml, price according to memebox
value to me: £6 From all the skincare products, toner is the one that hasn't convinced me yet of its purpose! I love my current toner, but I think that I had too many bad experiences with toners that were just like water.
The Yeon: Jeju Canola Honey Silky Hand Cream - full size product - $5
price: $5 (~ £3) full size product. 50ml, price according to memebox
value to me: £3 That's a good price for a hand cream
Skincure: SanDaWha Natural Mild Cleansing Oil - full size - $10
price: $10 (~ £6) full size product. 50ml, price according to memebox
value to me: £6 That's a good price to buy 100% camelia oil!
My impressions
Total value of the box: £54
Value to me: £39
Is this box a "From Jeju" box?
Certainly yes! This time memebox's description was quite accurate, the box contained products with volcanic ash, green tea, hallabong (citrus) and jeju camellia. 3 of the products have the word jeju on it! So they are definitely relative to the island! I am going to use all of the products and I am very happy with the box. Compared to other memeboxes, the value of this box is not that high as it included a lot of low value products.
