Welcome to our website !
I was attracted to this particular mask because I've never used a hydrogel mask before and the picture looked so weird.  TonyMoly has yet to let me down but I wasn't sure what to expect from this one.  Let's hop right into the review.

The packaging was bigger than my face, it's massive!! 


If it weren't for the pictures, I would have no idea how to use this mask. Even though it's applied just like your standard sheet mask, it does suggest you leave it on for 20-40 minutes which is longer than the suggested time on your regular sheet mask.

So on the back it tells you what the mask is supposed to do for your skin, the ingredients as well as the directions.  It's supposed to make your skin look clear and transparent.  I'm not sure how the transparent part works, maybe they mean clean?  Silly Koreans.

I wasn't sure what to expect mask wise and didn't know whether it was going to be what the picture on front showed.  Turned out that it actually was.  Hello creature from Saw.

Even though you just apply this like any other standard sheet mask, because it is more gel based than others I found this to be more flimsy and sticky than any other sheet mask.  This should be put on in a room with no fan blowing or any type of wind blowing your way.  When it's on I would also suggest laying down as it is heavy for a sheet mask and will keep it in place longer instead of standing up or walking around would.So after about half an hour I decided to take it off and rinse.  I didn't notice any immediate results but after I freshened up I did notice my skin to be lighter and have less blemishes.

Pros
  • Cheap price
  • Subtle smell
  • Skin brightening
Cons  
  • Sticky
  •  Heavy  
For my first time trying a hydrogel mask I can't say I was seriously impressed nor was I disappointed.  Once I can get the hang of using them and get the full effect I'm sure I'll grow to love them more and more. I bought mine at roseroseshop for a fairly decent price.  You can probably get this on amazon, ebay or the actual tonymoly website.
It's pretty safe to say that I went a little bit crazy with this one.. but wait... this is only half of it!! I made another transaction 2 weeks after I ordered this one!  hehe, I'm a little bit obsessed ok?? But let's just face it, who can actually resist all of the cuteness.

We can see that it came nicely packaged all bubble wrapped and plastic bagged in case of leakage. A+ Roseroseshop!
Shipping only took about 3 weeks to get here and considering that it's coming from Korea, that's actually extremely fast.
I ordered a lot of samples on this haul so let's start off with those.

I actually have been meaning to order some Banila Co. because it looks really good quality but it's so expensive so when I seen there was a sample size(which I'm not sure is available on roserose anymore) I had to jump on it.

I love Apieu so since these were sample sizes I figured may as well go for it.
 
 Tony Moly Banana hand milk and sleeping pack
Banana


Now, Too Cool For School has one of the most fantastic packaging I have yet to see in Kbeauty and I am confident that they are nothing short of quality.
 
The next two are still considered sample sizes but they're in kits.
 
 Etude House Collagen Moistfull skin care kit. 
I don't think this is available anymore but they have Moistfull all over the website.

 Innisfree Eco Science special kit.
I don't think this is available either but I found this link here that is close to it.

Now, onto the full sized items.

Oh before I forget, I picked up a Too Cool For School Marshmallow Puff.  Most Korean brands carry their own 'puffs' aka Beauty Blenders for really cheap and well since I'm a cheap-o I went ahead and bought this as well.

Aqua Rush Peel Gel mask.
This was on for dirt cheap because the expiry date is coming up in July.  I figured if I was having a girls night we could all use it and it would be used up real quick.  Peel masks are great! 

Skin Food Olive Mask.
I'm pretty sure they don't carry this anymore either! I bought this because it looks right cool and it was on sale, of course! 

Now onto the hair products.
Apieu hair mask day and night.

holy this mask is huge! I'm excited to try it and give a review on it.

The Face Shop Peach Floral Hair mist.

 Since my first Argan bottle is almost finished, I decided to go ahead and order another one!  This time I got the Treatment Oil Fusion.
I love water and I love Welcos.  No wrong done here.
Because my hair is naturally curly I bought this to help bring my curls out even more.

And lastly, roseroseshop supplies every customer with free samples in their order. (woops picture is upside down my bad)

And so concludes part 1 of my Roseroseshop haul.  I'm so excited to be able to share all of these products with you guys in reviews as well as looking forward to my next package to arrive!

I ordered this cream here for $1.44USD.  That is reallly cheap!  At first I thought it was just a sample but when it had arrived I realized that it contained a bit more product than a sample would.   It's the perfect size to be purse-friendly.

I didn't notice anything particularly different compared to any other cream you could get at a drug store at first glance.  However, it applies very nicely and absorbs right into your skin!!! Almost immediately it feels as though you hadn't even applied anything yet leaves your skin feeling extremely smooth and soft!  This has got to be almost certainly hands down my favorite hand cream.   It doesn't leave my hands feeling oily, shiny and doesn't leave any extra cream on the surface.  For the price that it is and the quality I feel it gives me I would certainly buy this again in an instant and definitely recommend it to anybody with any skin type!
I probably wouldn't recommend taking a bite out of this apple, you might break a tooth! Okay maybe not but I can reassure you that it won't taste anything like an apple.  This is the TonyMoly Appletox Honey Cream I got in a Memebox!  We can compare the size of this to well.. an apple!
Ingredients and how to use from my Memebox pamphlet.

Twist the top open and this is what you see.  Almost immediately you can already smell the apple it's that strong.  It comes with an application spoon for less mess and to stay sanitized! It's also best to keep the protective cover to prevent the cream from going everywhere, especially if you are travelling.  Speaking of travel, this probably isn't small enough to take on your day-to-day travels.
So as I'm reading other reviews and the blurb that came in the memebox I realized that it wasn't a face mask but a cream!! whooopsie daisy.  So apparently instead of applying this as a mask, you just apply it as you would a cream by rubbing it into your face.  You could use this as an overnight lotion and wash your face in the morning but I however will be rinsing this shortly because of applying it as a mask.  I'm sure this could be used as a mask as well either way it should have close to the same effect.
BUUUT whatever, I still can't get over how cute this package is okay!  That's all that matters, right??

After washing it off, this has moisturized into my skin and made it look more healthier than normal. I would consider this to be more of a heavier duty skin cream and moisturizer and would be more opted for leaving it in overnight to do its thaang you know.  Since it's a cream this could be used for all over your body if you have dry hands or if you ever get the sudden urge to smell like apples you can apply this anywhere.
I would recommend this to people if they were looking for a new skin moisturizer/cream because it does its jobs fast and efficiently, the packaging because who could resist that cute apple, and because of the smell factor! 
Because I have always been skeptical with beauty box subscriptions not knowing what you're getting in the box for the price that you're paying, I've never really caved in and subscribed to a box before.  It should come to no surprise that with my love of everything Asian that my first box is an Asian beauty box.  
Some boxes you pay for your box but get more product than what you're actually paying, the catch is that you don't actually know what you're getting.  For some it is like a present to yourself, me on the other hand would like to see what I'm investing my money in before purchasing it. We will see what my first box has to offer and I'll give my opinion at the end on whether I think it's worth it or not.
The difference between memebox and other beauty box subscriptions is that you get to pick what type of box you would like to receive while also accommodating your financial needs. 

Let me just say that I am impressed with the shipping.  I ordered my box February 4th, and it was at my doorstep February 13th.  I hadn't even realized that it was shipped out by that time actually.  Super impressive on their behalf, it's as though they knew I was going to make an order and they shipped before I purchased!   Super fast shipping I will give them a 10/10 for that.  Also not to mention the bubble wrap is actually pink! 

This box is seriously the cutest thing!  Unfortunately it is only cardboard so you can't keep it forever! 

So this is the first thing I see when opening my Memebox.  There is a little blurb describing basically what Memebox is as well as a booklet that goes through and describes what each product is and does along with a photo of it for reference purposes. Since I got the Cutie Pie Marzia box, there is a paragraph on who she is and what she does.

Onto the goodies!

Can we just take a moment and appreciate how cute the packaging is! 
Both of these products are from Shara Shara. I've actually never tried any of their products before so it's pretty exciting to see how these will wear.  The jumbo lip pencil is called Petite Friend Matte Lip Crayon- pretty ironic how it's called 'petite'-in the color Salmon Orange.  Orange isn't really my color but we will see how it works anyway! 
The next one is called Triple Shine Color Shadow.  In the booklet you had the option to get one of four colors.  I got the shade Cobalt Blue.  I really like the fact that they have extra protectants just to be sanitary.  Korean products are good for having over the top sanitary precautions.  This is also a full sized product.

Next we have Revecen Face Control Foundation, also in full size!  

The package obviously has Korean written all over it, but they were kind enough to put English on there as well. 
'With this foundation you can cover all defects on your face perfectly and naturally.  Excellent moisturizing effect and food coverage even with thin applying.  Protects your skin from UV rays and pollution prominently.'
I have the basic understanding that different colored foundations will eliminate spots and discolorations in the skin but that is just about all that I know.  It will certainly be exciting to see how this works for me, especially as a novice!  I really like the professional look this has going on with it too.  This is in the shade 002 (Violet).

I was actually confused with this for a second because the brand is Cheek Room and I thought it was some sort of cheek tint and I wouldn't be very interested in it because I find that cheek tints have a staining quality to them.  But was I ever wrong, this is actually a lip balm!  and boy does it smell great.   This is Lip Balm Clover by Cheek Room.  In the number 05 Cherry Clover.  It smells exactly like Cherries, and quite strong as well.  When I opened the lid I got an extremely strong wiff of cherry, it was great.  I am in love with the packaging and case for this lip balm.  Because who doesn't want a hot girl on their beauty products??
And this is why it is called 'Cherry Clover'.  How cute is the product itself???  I have high expectations for this let me tell you right now.

Shout out to how careful they packaged for shipping.

Next we have yet again another full sized product.  This one is TonyMoly's Red Appletox Honey Cream(80ml). 
There is a protective cover along with a plastic spatula for sanitary purposes as well as application process.

 This smells exactly like apples.  Suitable because it is in an apple case.  Now you know what to get your favorite teacher!  At first I thought this was just a body cream but after reading what was in the supplied booklet and taking a look at the actual product it turns out that it is actually a daily facial cream!  Which is actually even better because I tend to always have a lot of hand and body creams and don't really need any more.  At first glance, this product seems to be pretty messy as well, maybe that is why there is an extra protectant on it. This product is supposed to give your skin a massage-like effect as well as have a silky finish.  I'm excited to try this out!

 Last in the box we have an all-in-one serum by The Yeon, it's called Jeju Hallabong energy.  Just look at how cute that little guy is, trying to tell us something in Korean, aw aw how sweet! This whole packaging is in Korean, even on the bottle itself!  Luckily I have my handy dandy booklet with descriptions! This works to replenish, soften and protect your skin.
"How to use:  Apply the serum evenly over your face and pat it in for full absorbance.  Can be used morning and nightly."
It applies as a spray bottle and has a gel like consistency.  It probably smells like Jeju but to me it smells strongly of oranges and citrus.
 
Let's get into the knitty gritty here with the prices.  I can't find the direct link to where this box is located so it might be no longer available unfortunately.  I paid 25.99USD in total for everything in here including shipping. 

 Shara Shara Petit Friend Matte Lip Crayon (3g) $11
Shara Shara Triple Shine Color Shadow (2g) $15
Revecen Face Control Foundation (17g) $22
Cheek Room Lip Balm Clover (12g) $12
TonyMoly Red Appletox Honey Cream (80ml) $12
Jeju Hallabong Energy Mild All-in-one Serum (100ml) $20

All of these adding up to a total of $92USD not even including taxes.  This is an amazing deal!  I can only imagine what great deals the other boxes have to offer. Super impressed on the payoff on these items.  Have I mentioned that I love Korean beauty products?  
If you liked any products in your box and happen to empty them, Memebox has an online store with full sized products from your boxes that you can purchase individually! 
At first I was skeptical on beauty boxes because you are basically gambling your money on whether or not they will be full sized good quality beauty products or samples of basically garbage.  I stood corrected when I seen that they are ALL full sized products and I believe good quality as well.
I'm looking forward to making another purchase with Memebox in the near future, that is for definite.
