January 2014 Memebox 3rd Global Edition Unboxing

HI EVERYONE :) I'm super excited today because I get to share with you guys what's in the first Memebox of 2014! If you guys don't know, Memebox is a beauty sampler box that offers many different Korean brands; some popular, while others are just starting out! It isn't your traditional subscription beauty box sampler, instead, you purchase the boxes online once they're released- that way, you can pick and choose whether you want a box or not that month. Personally, I think it's a great idea since you don't have to dish out a bunch of money in one sitting. The super competitive aspect about Memebox is that once a box is sold out, it's seriously gone forever. 

Anyways, Memebox is also known as the Get It Beauty Box. Perhaps many of you recognize the Korean show Get It Beauty where they feature and test both high end and lower end beauty brands and decide on favourites based on blind testing. This was one of the main features that intrigued me about Memebox because Get It Beauty should know what they're doing- right?!

So, Memebox contains both full sized and sample sized products to try out. It's a mystery as to what's in the box when you first purchase it off their site, but the price and shipping is truly unbeatable so it's something I highly recommend.

The box itself comes out to be $21, and the express shipping included comes out to be $6.95. What's great about the MemeboxUSA site is that they offer you a $5 voucher upon signing up so that is what I used to cut down my shipping cost. :) With every box you purchase, they also add $7 back into your account to use for future purchases. Personally, I will be using my $7 for a future Memebox, haha :)

OVERALL I am super happy with this box. I want to purchase it again and again and again. I'm especially excited for the eye serum and sun screen! Western sun screens usually make my skin break out in a rash so I'm excited to see how this one will work for me. :) The value of this box is also insane in comparison to how much I actually paid for it! Plus the box itself is so cute and I can already tell that I'll be collecting and keeping every one that I receive haha. I definitely recommend this box to any beauty lover! January's beauty box can be found here and their newest one can be found here!

If any of you got this box, or just want to share your thoughts on it, leave your comments down below. :) I'm super excited about this and I'm wondering if all of you are too.

Thanks for reading! Until next time :)
