Besides producing amazing makeup items, Korea is also known by their great quality and innovative hair products. Are you as excited as I am to check out what is in this box?

1) La'dor Perfect Hair Filler - 13ml x 2ea/ Full size product ($5) 

I usually prefer doing facial masks or hair treatments at home instead of salons due to the convenience and obviously the affordability. However, sometimes it is difficult to achieve the same professional result. And that's why I usually research for products with good reviews before buying. This award winning hair ampoule guarantees salon quality results at home! Although the formula is very fluid in the bottle, once you mix in equal amount of water, it will turn into a cream like texture. Only 20 minutes is enough to make your hair looking healthy and luscious. Definitely worth a try! 

Product Description:
A highly concentrated hair ampoule awarded 1st place in the Hair Ampoule beauty category. Its rich formula is enriched with top hair renewing nutrients - protein, silk amino acid, keratin, collagen, and ceramide. Replenish abundant moisture and healthy shine to dry, damaged hair with hair salon quality care!
How to use:
Mix it with water 1:1 ratio and blend well until it turns into a cream-type. Thoroughly massage the mixture into hair and rinse off after 20 minutes.

2) The Shampoo Natural Waterless Shampoo Outdoor - 50ml/ Full size product ($10)

The idea of this waterless shampoo is nice and will come in handy whenever you need to wash your hair but don't have time or don't have access to a shower. However, don't expect to walk out the door immediately because this product does make your hair looking wet until it fully dries. Still, I think this is a good item to have and I am glad it was included in this box.

Product Description:
A non-rinse type shampoo designed to target those on-the go. The blend of menthol and 15 kinds of naturally derived ingredients refresh and deliver rich vitamin nutrients to hair and scalp tired from long hours spent outdoors. The foamy formula absorbs easily into hair with a refreshing menthol after-feeling and without the need to wash it off with water.
How to use:
Pump out 3 - 5 times onto hands and massage it into hair until the foamy bubbles are completed absorbed. Softly towel-dry.
 
3) Na. 8 Outbath Treatment - 150g/ Full size product ($18)

This leave-in hair treatment has a very refreshing citrus scent and it conditions the hair without making the strands feeling heavy. I will definitely be using this product quite often.

Product Description:
Na. 8's Outbath Treatment is a yuzu citron-scented leave-on hair treatment. It deep conditions hair and delivers an optimal blend of transformative hair nutrients to restore and replenish damaged hair to a shiny, healthy state. Best for busy girls on-the-go, this miraculous hair treatment restores the protective layer on dry or damaged hair and reduces hair's porosity for strong, lustrous strands. 
How to use:
Apply the treatment to dry, damaged locks and do not rinse off with water. Let the nutrients absorb into the hair.
 
4) Haken Natural Baobab Oil - 160ml/ Full size product ($18)

This hair oil has a very rich formula and it will make your hair look super silky and shiny instantly. As with most hair oil, make sure to apply only a tiny amount, otherwise your hair will end up looking seriously greasy. 

Product Description:
This is an intensive hair care oil for dry and damaged hair. It contains baobab oil extracts fortified with avocado oil which works not only to protect hair from external stress - UV and heat - but also to deeply nourish and replenish. The gentle formula is also enriched with vitamin E, vitamin A, omega 6, omega 9, and chlorophyll, all widely acknowledged ingredients for restoring aging skin and hair.
How to use:
Take a small amount of the oil onto hands and massage it evenly thorough out towel-dried hair. 
 
5) Solucion 9 Aztec Therapy Shampoo Natural Herb 50% - 50ml/ Full size product ($8)

Is this a full size product really? Because this shampoo was also featured in Memebox Green Food Cosmetics but in a 250ml bottle. Anyways... I love the herbal ingredients in this product because it treats the hair as well as the scalp. I will be taking this smaller version with me when I go on trips because I usually find hotel shampoos horrible. 

Product Description:
Solucion 9 is a scalp & hair specializing cosmetics brand using only natural herbal ingredients. This Aztec Therapy Shampoo gets its inspiration from the beauty secrets of Ancient Aztecs - known to have incorporated herbal and medicinal plant extracts in anti-hair loss treatments for their females. A blend of 9 natural herbs - espinosilla, jojoba oil, nettle, oritiguilla, aloe vera, rosemary, chamomile, and citrus - works to soften and strengthen damaged hair, and deliver a refreshing aroma therapeutic effect.
How to use:
Lather the shampoo and massage into scalp and hair. Leave it on for at least 5 minutes before rinsing off. 

6) Ryo Anti-Hair Loss Treatment - 50ml/ Deluxe size

I always get excited whenever I see an anti-hair loss product because it is obviously better to prevent than to remedy. This product not only prevents hair loss, but it also works to strengthen thin and damaged hair. The cooling formula also does a good job in invigorating the scalp. I really enjoy it!

Product Description:
Infused wtih biota seed, coix seed, green tea and gold extracts, this hair treatment will not only prevent hair loss but also re-energize and strengthen thin, damaged hair. Its excellent cooling formula will gently soothe and nourish your scalp at the same time.
How to use:
Apply generously over wet hair and massage the scalp with your fingertips. Rinse off with lukewarm water after 2 - 3 minutes.

6) The Face Shop Calendula Eden Essential Moisture Essence - 35ml/ Full size product ($9)

I got super excited when I opened up the box to find that it was jam-packed with products. If these are Korea's most wanted, I am sure I will fall in love with them too!

1) elRoel Tone Up Starter SPF50+ PA+++ Green - 50ml/ Full size product ($43)

I don't usually like makeup primers because I feel like they don't let my skin breathe properly. And although I know the  extreme importance of sunscreen, I often end up choosing one with low to medium UV protection because they do feel lighter on the skin. This makeup base, however, does feel comfortable on the skin and it has an amazing sunscreen protection of SPF 50! The consistency of it is super smooth and immediately brighten up my skin. And given that it only took a single pump to cover my entire face, this tube should last me for quite a while too. 

Product Description:
elRoel Tone Up Sun Gel re-launched as the Tone Up Starter, still boosting its high UV protection level while newly equipped with tone balancing and skin smoothening features. It's work to fill in fine lines and wrinkles and brighten up the overall complexion, perfectly prepping the skin for a well-moisturized, long-lasting makeup adherence.
How to use:
Apply directly to face at the first stage of base makeup application.

2) Hiello Blooming Multi Firming Cream - 50ml/ Full size product ($50)

This firming cream has a simple and professional looking packaging. The texture is very rich and I could notice my skin appearing more supple right after using it. It certainly is a great product to eradicate dull, tired looking skin. However, it might feel a bit heavy if you are an oily skin girl.

Product Description:
A richly concentrated anti-wrinkle facial cream formulated with a blend of poppy extracts, vitamin peptide, collagen, green tea water, Damascus rose water, and centella asiatica. Smooth out sagging skin, brighten up dulled complexion, and rejuvenate stressed-out skin with the best of Hiello Blooming Multi Firming cream!
How to use:
Apply a small amount of the cream directly to clean face. For an overnight pampering treatment once a week, thickly coat face with the cream, massage it gently, and take your beauty sleep without washing it off.

3) The Tang Tang Kissy Skin Therapy Peeling Wash - 100ml/ Full size product ($23)

Nowadays many cosmetic companies make this type of roll away peeling gels. The formula of this product is extra gentle and I was surprised how the rubbing particles actually disappeared with continual massaging. Afterwards, my skin felt super soft and smooth just like a baby's bottom. 

Product Description:
A peeling gel designed specifically to target dry and sensitive skin types. Regular peeling products contains unnecessary ingredients which makes it look like a lot of dead skin cells and skin impurities are rubbing away when applied. The Tang Tang Kissy Skin Therapy Peeling Wash boosts its gentle, nourishing formula made from only naturally-derived ingredients minus all the unnecessary skin detriments.
How to use:
Spread an adequate amount of the peeling gel over dried face. Rest for about 40 seconds and just before it begins to harden, gently massage nose, cheeks, and the rest of the face. Rinse off with lukewarm water. Do not use a soap or foam cleanser.

4) Kskin Emu Leg R-Free Massage Cream - 100g/ Full size product ($46)

I really enjoyed the feeling of this product on the skin. The minty cooling sensation was pretty amazing and it lingered for quite a while. Great for soothing tired muscle. My boyfriend sure will love this product too!   

Product Description:
Made from 'emu oil' rich in omega 3, 6, 9 and vitamin A, snail mucus extracts, peppermint oil, hyaluronic acid, and menthol complex, the Emu Leg R-Free Massage Cream works to soothe, moisturize, and de-stress your legs tired and stimulated from an exhausting day.
How to use:
Massage the formula over calves, waist, feet or other body parts in need of stress relief.

5) LadyKin One Touch Bling Glow Lipstick - 3.5g/ Full size product ($11)

LadyKin One Touch Bling Glow Lipstick in 09 Deep Plum Burgundy.

I used to get intimidated whenever I saw a tube of red lipstick. Well... not anymore! This product, for example, is able to create very natural looking stained lips once blended. The shade that I received is "09 Deep Plum Burgundy". Simply gorgeous! 

Product Description:
Create weighless, color-saturated lips when you smooth on this LadyKin One Touch Bling Glow Lipstick. It glides on silky smooth and leaves lips glamorized with captivating color radiance in just a single stroke.
How to use:
Start with a touch of color at the center of the lips, and slowly spread to the outer corners.

6) The Face Shop Calendula Eden Essential Moisture Essence - 35ml/ Full size product ($9)

This facial essence provides the skin with the most soothing sensation ever. Both the scent and texture felt so delightful that I simply could not stop touching my face after application. 

Product Description:
A richly concentrated facial serum that deeply moisturizes and smoothens out uneven skin tone with the power of calendula eden complex consisting of calendula extracts and hyaluronic acid. 
How to use:
After toner & emulsion application, spread an adequate amount of the essence evenly over face and gently pat it in with your fingertips for full absorbance.

3) Abalone Crystal Double EX Cream - 50ml/ Full size product ($78)

5) Dr. MJ Moisture Bounce Aqua Memory BB SPF 30 PA++ - 45g/ Full size product ($46)
6) Purebess Hot Styling Hair Fixer - 8g/ Full size product ($16)

I have always wondered what are in these OMG Memeboxes. I am seeing the contents of this box for the first time and I am about to find out how many products will truly amaze me.

1) Nadu Skin The First Love Pack - 12ml ($4) + 18ml/ Full size product ($2)
Includes both Lady Point Pack & Gentleman Point Pack

These masks which were designed specifically to moisturize the female and male's private area definitely made me raise my eyebrows. I never knew such "beauty product" existed. ;)

Product Description: 
Here’s to a truly OMG product in the history of Memebox – specially designed mask packs for a female’s and male’s Y zone (definitely not for facial use!) – to be used to moisture and treat the most sensitive yet uncared for part of the body.    They’re formulated with lavender flower water and various moisturizing nutrients and each designed to perfectly fit female and male body.
How to use:
Shake the mask to ensure the pack inside is well-soaked in the essence. Cleanse the skin throughly. Open the mask and place it through or over the Y-zone. For ladies, remove after 15 - 30 minutes, and for gentlemen, after 5 - 10 minutes.

2) Pureplus + Cocoon Returning Toner - 200ml/ Full size product ($18)

I don't really know what a returning toner means but this product does not seem to be a simple toner. Witch hazel and vitamins are regularly seen in toners, but cocoon extract?! This formula claims to control oiliness, hydrate, brighten up complexion and remove dead skin cells all at the same time. Let's just hope it does everything it promises.

Product Description:  
Replenish, control excess sebum, remove dead skin cells and impurities, and brighten up a dulled complexion with this returning toner packed with cocoon extracts, witch hazel and various vitamins to make your face look and feel younger.
How to use:
Apply the toner all over the face using a cotton pad or your hands.

3) Abalone Crystal Double EX Cream - 50ml/ Full size product ($78)

This is the first time I see Abalone in a skin care product. After some research, I found out that these sea snails are actually rich in minerals, proteins, amino acids and essential fatty acids which work wonders as anti-aging treatment. The retail price of this product is rather steep though.

Product Description:
This Abalone Crystal Double EX Cream is concentrated with fermented abalone, black been extract, and watermelon extract to deliver a cosmic blast of skin care benefits. Fresh 'abalones' from the Southern Coast of Korea are highly recognized as the King of Shellfish with their mucin containing abundant minerals, proteins, amino acids, and essential fatty acids to provide remarkable skin revitalizing, wrinkle reducing, skin brightening, and hydrating benefits. It also soothes irritated skin, and enhances the skin’s elasticity to deliver visible anti-aging results with each use!
How to use:
Apply directly over clean face both day and night. Pat it in for full absorbance.

4) Shara Shara Secret Magic Lipstick - 3.5g/ Full size product ($8)
Randomly selected from 01 Sky to Pop Pink, 02 Green to Pink, 03 Yellow to Mango 

I was not very excited when I saw this product at first because I have seen and used this type of lipstick before. However, after a quick swatch on the back of my hand I totally changed my mind! The formula completely transformed into this gorgeous pink color which I did not expect. 

Product Description:
A secret, color-transforming lipstick which offers a highly pigmented radiance, a long lasting adherence and a moisture lock-in in just a single swipe. Experience how it magically changes to its shade according to the temperature of your lips! Its gentle formula is enriched with avocado oil and tocopheryl acetate which effectively protects lips from dehydration.
How To Use: 
Use a concealer or foundation to tone down the lip contours first. Apply the lipstick and wait for 10 seconds until its color becomes more vivid. Coat a thin layer of lip gloss for extra plump and gloss.

5) Dr. MJ Moisture Bounce Aqua Memory BB SPF 30 PA++ - 45g/ Full size product ($46)

It's true that most BB creams don't come in jars but I actually prefer the good old squeeze tube packaging because they are more hygienic in my opinion. The formula of this BB cream is very rich and gives a dewy finish to the skin. What I like the most about this product is its decent coverage and the non-ashy undertone.

Product Description: 
Yes we’ve all been through a BB cream, but what about a bouncy, jelly-like BB packaged in a bottle and scooped up with a spatula like any other facial cream? Dr. MJ Moisture Bounce Aqua Memory BB adheres tightly onto skin with its cushiony texture and offers wrinkle care, UV protection and skin brightening effect as well.
How to use:
Scoop up using the included spatula and spread it evenly over face.

6) Purebess Hot Styling Hair Fixer - 8g/ Full size product ($16)

This hair fixer is transparent in color and the formula is super watery which is unexpected. It is definitely a good product to keep in the purse to fix all those unwanted crazy flyaways. 

Product Description:
No it’s not a hair spray or wax gel cream.  It’s a hair fixer that you can apply multiple times consecutively because the formula is non-sticky and lightweight and it’s shaped into an easy to use mascara-like package!  Simply swipe away to fix up and style any loose hair for that perfect stewardess look.
How to use:
Use the attached fixer brush to apply the formula over specific areas of hair you wish to style and lock in place.

I think the OMG factor of this box is 2 out of 5. What do you think? Did you get surprised with any of these products? :)

Dry, cold winter months always take a toll on my skin and it is the season when I reach out the most often to my deep hydrating face masks. I am hoping to discover some really good masks in this box. 
 
1. VELIEVE Girlish Mask - 20ml X 3ea/ Full size product ($7)
Randomly selected from Collagen Lifting, Honey Moisture, Vita Shining, Aloe Soothing

These sheet masks look seriously hilarious. I got three different varieties. They will have me covered whenever my skin needs soothing, moisture and even some glow. 

Product Description:

Velieve’s Girlish Mask series comes in 4 different types each enriched with natural ingredients catered to target different skin care concerns – marine collagen for firming and tightening, honey extracts for nourishing, lemon extracts for brightening, and aloe vera extracts for moisturizing and soothing. The thin pulp type sheet masks adhere tightly to skin with ease and without any mask essence drooping down.
How to use
:
Place the sheet mask over clean face. Remove the mask after 15~20 minutes of rest. Pat in the remaining essence for full absorbance.

2. RIRE Patting Water Pack - 300ml
/ Full size product ($42)

Randomly selected from Lifting, Brightening, Moisture

I found this product super interesting. It works similarly to the "A;T Fox Tea Toc Water Clear Tablet" featured in Memebox Cleanse & Tone. You dilute a cap of this product in a bowl of water and pat the solution on your already cleaned face multiple times. It is supposed to balance out the skin's pH level and the smell of it is truly amazing!

Product Description
:
A new generation of ‘patting water packs’ that works miraculously to balance skin’s PH level, gently melt away dead skin cells, and ultimately enhancing skin tone and texture to reveal clearer, smoother complexion with continuous use. The yellow Lifting pack is made from evening primrose extracts and works to tighten and rejuvenate tired skin. The purple Brightening pack bases its formula on violet extracts which help to balance and brighten uneven skin tone. The pink Moisture pack is enriched with a blend of cherry blossom extracts to deliver rich hydration and healthy moisture & oil balance.
How to use
:
Remove makeup residues with cleansing oil or foam. Then fill 2/3 of a bowl with water and drop in 1~2 lid-full of the Patting Water Pack. Mix well and gently pat it all over the face for 15~20 times. Do not rinse afterwards.

3. INOFACE Real Natural Pulp Essence Sheet Mask - 23ml
/ Full size product ($2)

Randomly selected from Snail, Q10, Collagen, Aloe

I can never get enough of sheet masks. However, they are not my favorite type of masks when the weather is cold because they give off a cooling sensation which is not necessarily desirable during the winter months. But nonetheless, they always come in handy whenever your skin is in need of extra attention. The one I received contains Q10 which is a great antioxidant.

Product Description
:
Replenish moisture and firmness to dry, sagging skin with the Inoface Real Natural Pulp Essence Sheet Masks each formulated from the concentrated essence of natural ingredients – snail mucus, Q10, collagen and aloe extracts. These masks are composed of highly effective skin soothing, moisturizing, and firming agents and are suitable for all skin types and for all 4 seasons.
How to use
:
Spread the sheet mask evenly over clean face. Rest for 15~20 minutes. Remove and pat in the remaining mask essence onto skin for full absorbance.


4. ESTHETIC HOUSE Collagen Jelly Mask Pack - 100ml
/ Full size product ($13)

The appearance of this pig collagen pack is not at all attractive. However, do not let its look push you off because it actually has a lovely scent and the formula is easily absorbed besides leaving the skin feeling super silky. 

Product Description
:
Swallow your skepticism—pig collagen has been shown to be highly effective in firming and tightening the elasticity of skin and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Rich in collagen peptides extracted from pork rinds, this leave-in, highly-concentrated collagen facial mask pack from Esthetic House absorbs easily, leaving skin firmer, nourished, moisturized, and freshened. Suitable for all skin types.
How to use
:
Apply a moderate amount to clean face, massaging until absorbed. No need for rinsing off.

5. LASSIE’EL Raspberry Age Defying Yogurt Massage Mask - 12g
/ Full size product ($6)

Each box comes with four individual containers of these Raspberry yogurt mask. The formula is targeted for aging skin but it is also effective in removing skin impurities. I found the idea of having a plastic cap included genius because you can save any leftover product in the original container without risking it to dry out. Very thoughtful! 

Product Description
:
Deeply replenish and revive dry, dulled skin with a rich blend of yogurt extracts that effectively sloughs away dead skin cells and skin impurities from the pores and prevent oxidation of the skin. The yogurt formula consists of lactobacillus, raspberry extracts, and collagen extracts which all work to fight and diminish appearance of wrinkles and sagging, aging skin.
How to use:

Spread the mask evenly over clean face. Massage onto the face using hands until the micro-beads in the mask formula completely disappear. Rinse off with lukewarm water after 5~10 minutes.

6. PURE SMILE Jewelry Bubble Ruby & Pure Bubble Royal Jelly - 3g X 2ea/ 
Full size product ($2)

I am excited to try out these face masks because of their ability to generate bubbles on the skin once applied. Bubbles are able to penetrate deep into the pores and will leave your skin feeling super clean and hydrated afterwards.

Product Description
:
These two wash-off facial packs are each formulated from concentrates of ruby extracts and royal jelly extracts. The Jewelry Bubble Ruby pack is a skin soothing and replenishing formula that consists of ruby powder, green tea, hyaluronic acid, aloe vera leaf, glycerin, vitamin E, and portulaca extracts. The Pure Bubble Royal Jelly pack is also enriched with over 40 kinds of vitamins and minerals and helps treat acne-prone skin types by deeply cleansing the pores and nourishing damaged skin.
How to use
:
Spread the pack evenly over clean, towel-dried face. Gently massage the self-generated bubbles 2~3 times as the bubbles penetrate deep into the pores and extract skin impurities clogged up. Rinse off with lukewarm water when the bubbling stops.

Do you use facial masks more often during the winter? Please let me know which is your favorite hydrating mask. :)
