INOFACE REAL NATURAL PULP ESSENCE SHEET.
i received the snail mask,
another pulp sheet mask saturated in snail mucin and extracts the essence is not too much. the mask aims to reload the skin with moisture ,helps to firm and tighten,while gently soothing the skin,




AESTHETIC HOUSE COLLAGEN JELLY MASK PACK..
we are all use to pig collagen us seasoned memefans,but to the newbies -pig collagen is from the skin,and is great for firming the skin tightening while keeping soft and smooth.
it puts the bounce back into the skin,pig collagen also helps reduce lines and wrinkles .
a leave on mask simply take a small amount and massage into he skin,once absorbed it leaves the skin moisturised and refreshed.





LASSIE'EL RASPBERRY AGE DEFYING YOGHURT MASSAGE MASK.
this is a wash off mask. this is great on dry skin with yogHurt extracts it strips away dead skin cells opens up pores ,with raspberry,yoghurt,collagen ,helps slow down the signs of anti-aging and slowing formation of lines and wrinkles.
simply add to the face and massage in for 10 minutes while the beads pop and dissolve.





so this is really a face busting mask box.
the pig collagen mask is fun as its like a thick jelly that simply highly moisturises the skin. which once you get use to the texture its fun and easy to use.
the patting water seems to be a good one ,once I've used it i can compere better against the blithe branded one.
the sheet masks are quick and easy to use ,simple and effective,
the raspberry yoghurt mask is interesting others have said it smells weird but this box didn't it was OK, not too harsh and rather calming on the skin while wearing and after washing off.
the son used the royal jelly mask and it seems to pull all the blackheads up and out of the skin.left his skin a little dry afterwards.
will use the snail mask tomorrow.
a good box i hope memebox don't stop doing these boxes in 2015.

unboxed,


menu card.



KOREA RICE CAKE COOKIE ORIGINAL (KOREA).
a chai tteok  or glutinous rice.
this is encased in a soft butter cookie.it combines traditional Korean with modern western pastry.
its more a pie than a cookie .the filling was creamy and tasty and would love more of these as they were filling and tasty,


HEART CRAYON SHIN-CHAN DIY BUTT SHAPED PUDDING.(JAPAN).
this kit is made up in seconds.
you need a cup ,milk,a plate and toothpick,and a microwave,you heat up and then chill in the fridge.when it hardened up you pick it up with a toothpick,you then pop the pudding in a sauce of your choice and eat,


EDO ASSORTED FRUIT GUMMY CANDY.(JAPAN)
these are chewy gummy candies each has a different flavour,the small packs are easy for on the go snackage.
really fruity and refreshing to eat, one pack keeps you good on a train journey or shopping the boxing day sales for sure.

SKYSAIL CHESTNUT (MADE IN CHINA FOR THE HONG KONG MARKET.)
these are pre peeled chestnuts that can be eaten anytime ,non messy but tasty.
crunchy and tasty i love chestnuts.we get these in the uk for catering in vacuum packs, i love the ones with a sugar coating over as well.


DAHFA DRIED FISH SLICES.(MALAYSIA)
these are fish strings made from cuttlefish.with no cholesterol no fat or salt. they can be eaten straight from the packet and also deep fried ,these are tasty. but once back to work I'm going to try them deep fried to see if the flavour comes through different due to being crispy.


RICHEESE AHH TRIPLE CHEESE CORN STICK.(INDONESIA)
cheesy wafers a great cheese snack with no mess. flavour is nice and strong and the rolls are crispy.the cheese filling inside is quite nice .not powdery like i imagine these are , i had visions of TUC cheese biscuits glad they were better.


JACK N JILL CHIPS (A PHILIPPINES BRAND MADE IN CHINA FOR THE HONG KONG MARKET)
crunchy potato chips , lovely flavour,they are spicy flavour, but not as in blow your head off like western spicy means ,these were more subtle and moorish.


YAOKIN RULER CANDY(JAPAN)
a cola or grape choice we was given.
i received cola whoop whoop
this candy is shaped like a ruler , i really like the texture of this ,and it was a great flavour.


SOUR PLUM LOLLIPOP.(HONG KONG)
omg more !.we got these in the last box, i don't like the malt covering on them ,and they take hours to eat, i like sour plums and i like that it has a sweet candy wrapped round it, i gave one to the son and people at work last month lol. but the lollipop actually tasted better than the sweets did.


overall a good box with some interesting flavours going on this month .both myself and the son eat this box and road test it out. and it was all eaten rather quickly this month.
I've got the Chinese new year box coming up next and the February box. 
ABCDEat have a new website coming soon ,so check them out.

AHC MIRACLE MULTI CREAM,
moisturises for 48 hours.
this cream moisturises and keeps the skin soft and supple. it needs massaging in but feels so good for the skin.i also love that it is a free from product and  is made with natural essential oils.


DEARBERRY GREEN TEA ICE-CREAM HAND CREAM.
this hand cream is in a cute ice-cream tube.a good rich moisturising cream than sinks in to the skin leaving them soft.the cream leaves a non sticky feeling and non greasy.


BENTON SNAIL BEE HIGH CONTENT ESSENCE,
this essence has 90%snail extract,and bee venom, this replaces the water content.this helps to heal scars,burns,brighten squinting.it hydrates the skin throughout the day.
snail mucin helps cell regeneration,bee venom is anti inflammatory.
this is a gel like essence and fragrance free,



CHEEK ROOM LIP AND EYE MAKE UP REMOVER.
a waterproof make up remover. scented with rose.it removes make up but you need to use a fair amount of it,it does not dry the skin out it actually is quite moisturising.



SHARA SHARA TOK TOK MINT LIP ESSENCE,
a gorgeous mint tasting lip essence,simply apply to lips ,they soften and moisturise all day and night long, it plumps and cools,boosts collagen and firms out lines and wrinkles.


OVERALL THIS IS A BOX THAT WILL BE GIFTED AWAY AS IT IS A SHOCKING BOX ,NO CARD WAS INCLUDED AND NON WAS EMAILED EITHER.
the only product that i can use which isn't a repeat or i can use is the Shara Shara tok tok lip essence,
the Benton products i refuse to use as there have been way to many issues and Benton refuse to address them ,the hand cream is nice but really we have enough hand creams for 2 tubes a month for a year.the lip and eye make up is a repeat and i don't think its very good at removing make up to others that have been in the previous boxes, i like the miracle cream and it will be put in my stash of creams. but both these boxes were clearly warehouse stock left overs.

MENU CARDS.

REVECEN MOISTURE SHINE LIP GLOSS IN APRICOT PINK.
i really like this lip gloss i think the colour is better on than inn the tube.as its very pastel/transparent.with added olive oil it moisturises without drying.it has a small amount of lustre in to glisten ,the brush is fairy good for covering and its a non gloopy formula.



REVECEN COLOR EYE SHADOW. IN PEARL LIGHT SALMON.
a very pastel pink with a basic amount of pigment, it needs to be built in layers o get any colour to show. its a creamy powder that is waterproof and smudge proof.


REVECEN FACE CONTROL FOUNDATION.
IN MINT,
this creamy powder smooths and blends in so well.it balances out the skin and cover blemishes and lines up,this is blended with green tea extracts and magnolia extracts.gentle and suitable on all skin types. it seems to work on my skin colour. but its not for me.



REVECEN PERFECT STAR POWDER,
I RECEIVED 14 IVORY.
this powder has added shine in just the right amount.it catches the light in the right amount.
you can add to eyeshadow or face or body.or neckline.for a longer lasting and bolder look happy to wet skin.



so not my best box having tried it all this will be given to the teens next door to play with, I'm not impressed with revecen products in the boxes face paints work better. i think revecen have been over used in boxes and this box could of been  a good curated one.it needed better pastel products for sure , there was no need for the foundation or star powder. it was a poor box.
