Un-boxing: Memebox Special #6 Whole Grain

Laaaaaaa! I cannot tell you how excited I am! I won this box in a giveaway. I rarely win anything, ever. Anyways! I must show you what’s inside, but first let me tell you about Memebox! Let me warn you this post is seriously image heavy. Also I will be reviewing products individually! This is just an un-boxing to show you what’s inside! Also it looks like the Whole Grain box was re-stocked!

Memebox‘s story

The boxes!
Memebox
The original Memebox comes packed with 4 – 8 full sized products and deluxe samples, carefully curated from Korea to give you the best experience and widest exposure to a range of products.
Superbox
Superbox was inspired by our Memebox lovers, looking for full-sized products catered to specific needs. Each Superbox series comes with it’s own theme, designed to target particular concerns.
Luckybox
We only have a limited supply of each Memebox series, and Luckybox was created to bring back our most popular items selected from previously sold-out Memeboxes, all combined in one wonderful collection. Each Luckybox contains a selection of products from past Memeboxes, occasionally including a few new favorites we simply could not resist including. Just like our Memebox and Superbox, Luckybox products are sourced directly from Korea, including only the best-loved items thoughtfully curated by our cosmetic aficionados at Memebox.

Onto the un-boxing!

So my Memebox came in a cute pink bubble wrap envelope, which I didn’t get a picture of. But inside that is the adorable hot pink box with all the goodies inside. When I opened it I saw that the lid had stuff printed on it. It says:

Next thing I noticed was the printed card. I really like that they list the size and value of the items, as well as directions on how to use each product and a small summary of what it does. Then I saw the products! I think I squealed in delight. I was so excited to get this box and find out what was in it. Luckily for me there isn’t anything I won’t put to good use!

Onto the items!

Grinif Nature Oatmeal Scrub Bar
Product description
This 100$ organic and hand made cleansing bar is literally packed with gentle, natural ingredients such as oatmeal, rice bran, mung beans, red beans, shea butter and jojoba oil to nourish and moisturize as well as deeply cleanse your skin!

How to use
First, wet your face with warm water. Lather the scrub bar and gently massage your face with the foam. Then, rinse off with cold water to tighten up enlarged pores again.

This is the first product listed on the card. It’s a full size product and it’s 130g and is valued at $9. I have been using this in my skincare routine. I like it very much so far. It doesn’t have a strong scent at all and my face is literally squeaky clean after. I use it with my konjac sponge. It lathers much better this way. It rinses clean from my konjac sponge much more quickly than other cleansers I’ve used.
Ingredients: I don’t have the entire ingredient list, just these > oatmeal, rice bean, mung bean, red beans, shea butter and jojoba oil. VEGAN?

Mkay. This is a full size product and it’s 80g and is valued at $8. I tried this the day I received the box. While it was nice to my skin, it smelled like dog food. I mean it could smell worse. Even though it’s a bit weird smelling I shall still use it. I didn’t have oatmeal, black beans or brown rice, so I just mixed it up with milk and slathered it on.
