Review + Swatches: Take a Walk on the Wild Side With Touch in SOL Eye and Lip Products for Beautiful Definition!

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Touch in SOL's Galactic Girl was my favorite bright shade.  The violet with brown really rocked the color in a sensational way.

Giving eyes and lips some dazzling glamour is easy when you find the right cosmetics to help with the task. With the products that I was sent from Korean beauty brand, Touch in SOL, I discovered how to give my features an exciting change through neon color and vivid definition.

Before I tried these wild colors on, I was a bit hesitant about Touch in SOL’s new Style Neon Super Proof Gel Eyeliners ($16) for their unconventional effect.  However, the fun was what came next once I started playing with these creamy, well-pigmented waterproof liners and experimenting with how to turn up the wattage of my eyes by combining colors or eye shadow for reinventing new looks.  

I found laying down a bold bright line as I did with their riveting violet Galatic Girl played up the color of my brown eyes even more than I expected.  You might say it brought them into beautiful focus.

The Astral Ice, an electric blue color, paired with shimmering champagne and bronze shadow gave my eyes an edgy update.   

Astral Ice is not for the shy.  This lively liner is meant to be noticed.

Not to be outdone was the way my eyes looked once I tried on Eclectic Electric, the teal pencil, which by the time I finished my makeup seemed to make my eyes look huge with what the brilliance of that color did to resize my eyes.  

Eclectic Electric is bold fun.  Wearing this liner brings out your playful, daring side.

Lights Out was a rich matte black that also applied effortlessly for a pencil due to its beneficial oils such as argan, apricot, calendula, jojoba seed, olive, and rose.  One other color is available in this line called Cosmic Carrot, a bright orange, but I did not get that one to test.   

Lights Out is classic, rich black that blends as easily as it glides on.

You should see the extra impact that is possible once you retrace over that dark black with one of these bright neon pencils alongside. The size of my eyes seemed to take on a new proportion with how that bit of wild color only brought more attention to the area.

For your viewing pleasure, I swatched the shades for you.  Starting on the left is  Red Chili One Second Vivid Lip Crayon followed by Lights Out, Eclectic Electric, Galactic Girl, and ending with Astral Ice Style Neon Super Proof Gel Eyeliners on the right.

These pencils stay put, despite rubbing your eyes or when it comes to taking them off.  You will need your eye makeup remover to get them to budge.  Soap and water or a rinseable cleanser just will not cut it.

I also was sent one of the Light Bright Brow Spot Highlighter ($21) pens for accentuating the brow area or other facial highlighting in #001 For Your Eyes Only, a matte pink.  This is one of those sponge-tipped pens that you twist to release the liquid that later turns into powder form.  The formula has argan, olive, and jojoba seed oils, which makes for smooth gliding.  As to shades, there are three other shades ranging from subtle in how it catches the light to full shimmer that I would have preferred for any highlighting.  

Light Bright Brow Spot Highlighter

The eye product that totally won my heart was Touch in SOL’s Stretchex Stretch Lash Effect Mascara ($22).  The formula is gentle, lightweight and amazing with how its air polymer powder manages to find and wrap around each lash to build them up without clumping or stiffness just by working that wonderful curved brush.  My lashes looked longer from its silk proteins, more lush, blacker, and even had some additional curl to them once I finished after just one coat.  Even after rubbing my eyes, I am happy to say no flaking or smudging.  

Stretchex really lengthens and adds ample volume!

The last product in my box was a One Second Vivid Lip Crayon ($16).  The one that I got was Hot Chili (bright red-orange), a highly-pigmented color that has a surprising amount of moisture for a satin matte finish crayon thanks to its phyto seed oil complex. There are three other shades in this line from Tulip Pink, Wild Tangerine to Yellow Bird.

This is me wearing Red Chili One Second Vivid Lip Crayon.

This was my first time using any products from Touch in SOL, but now I am hooked after this experience.  I plan on looking into the All in One Beauty Aid Cream next with the cold weather inching closer.  Have you tried this beauty brand yet?  Do check their products out, especially that Stretchex Mascara because I promise that you’ll love Touch in SOL!

Memebox Special #29 Scrub Box 

I do love exfoliating whether it’s for my face or body to smooth away dead skin and bring on the new.  As you can guess, I was thrilled when the Memebox Special #29 Scrub Box arrived.

Inside that hot pink package, I found six Korean favorites to help me in my quest. This assortment sold for $23.00 in addition to the $6.99 shipping, but it went quickly.  My best advice is that you need to be fast to order when you see a box that you like.

Check out what I received below. 

Memebox Special #29 Scrub Box

1.  insobeau Natural Base Cereal Peeling Mask–Full Size (150ml)–$27.00

2.  Eglips JolieBeBe Lip Polish–Full Size (15ml)–$7.00

3.  THE HERB FACTORY Foot Scrub Peppermint & Tea Tree–Full Size (200g)–$14.00

4.  PIBUGONGGAM G Facial Scrub–Full Size (50g)–$13.00

5.  Tosowoong Perfume Body Scrub Wash–Full Size (160g)–$19.00

6.  New Girl Fast Scalp Hair Root Up Ampoule–Full Size (20ml)–$6.00

Total Value: $86.00!

The insobeau Natural Base Cereal Peeling Mask uses an all-natural formula that includes cornstarch and flour to peel away dead skin and brighten the complexion.  

The Eglips JolieBeBe Lip Polish uses a jojoba oil formula of beadlike grains for exfoliating dry, flaky lips.  At the same time, it also has a moisturizing shea butter complex to keep lips soft.

THE HERB FACTORY Foot Scrub is something my feet loved.  This product has walnut shell powder that gently exfoliates rough skin.  You just add some of this foot scrub to wet feet, massage a bit before rinsing and discovering softer feet!

The PIBUGONGGAM G Facial Scrub has orange and tangerine peels, grapefruit, sea buckthorn, red poppy petals, and aronia extracts to exfoliate and rejuvenate the complexion.

I adored the Tosowoong Perfume Body Scrub, which is available at the Memeshop.  This stuff made for a blissful bath with its sweet, but also refreshing scent.  This scrub has almond, apricot, walnut and honey extracts to slough off old skin.  

The New Girl Fast Scalp Hair Root Up Ampoule is heavy duty scalp treatment for deep cleaning with salicylic acid among the ingredients.  My guess is this would be good to try if you have oily hair or if you want to strip your hair old styling products before coloring your hair.  I plan to give this to my guy to use with how oily his hair can get.

Review: Memebox Special #26 Hand & Nail Care—September 2014 Deals!

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Memebox Special #26 Hand & Nail Care

Hands can give away your age—that is, if you let them.  Look at all we put them through every day doing dishes, laundry, cleaning, and cooking to name just a few routine chores that can turn once soft hands with lovely nails into ones that you would rather hide from the world.  Help is here though with the Memebox Special #26 Hand & Nail Care assortment that I was sent.

I wish that I could tell that you can still buy this particular Memebox, but it is another sold out box.  When it was still available this box sold for $23 plus $6.99 shipping.  Here is what you missed.

Memebox Special #26 Hand & Nail Care Box

1.    PURE SKIN Hand Care Pack—Full Size (15g)--$4.00

2.    SUR 3D Nail Art Kit (3D & Magnet emerald 12ml & Nail Art Pen Silver 7ml)—Full Size--$29.00

3.    PURE PLUS Hydrogel Moisturizing Nail Patch—Full Size (2/5g)--$8.00

4.    With shan Dr. Care Set (Dr. 01 15ml & Paper File 1 ea.)—Full Size--$13.00

5.    BARBINIE Shea Butter Hand Cream—Full Size (50ml)--$18.00

6.    SHARA SHARA Soft Hand Gommage—Full Size (50ml)--$6.00

7.    With shan Baby Hand Set (Treat Oil 15ml & Nail Wall File 1ea)—Full Size--$9.00

Total Value:  $87.00!

The most interesting product was the Shara Shara Soft Hand Gommage.  This is a gel that you rub over your hands to get rid of rough skin. Once applied, it balls up and gently peels away skin. My hands were softer as a result.

The Pure skin Hand Care Pack was one of my favorites of the products that I sampled.  This product is a pair of gloves loaded with rich moisturizers and anti-aging ingredients that can help banish dryness and roughness.

The Barbinie Shea Butter Hand Cream was in Violet Musk.  This provided heavy duty lubrication in a lovely floral scent.

Something else I loved was the Pure Plus Hydrogel Moisturizing Nail Patch for strengthening and improving the look of nails.  I just placed this flexible hydrogel patch over a nail and waited twenty minutes for it to work its magic.

Another helpful product for serious nail strengthening was the with shan Dr. Care Set.  The Dr. 001 is what you paint your nails with every two days to build them up. Once you finish a week, you remove it and repeat the process.  A Paper File was also included to perfect those stronger nails.

The Sure 3D Nail Art Kit is something that I did not experiment with yet.  I got a forest green shade of nail polish and a Black Diamond Nail Art pen to be artistic with.  This will be my first attempt at designing my own nail look, but it looks like fun.

The with shan Baby Hand Set is another product that I didn’t get a chance to try yet, but I soon will.  This set consists of a Treatment Oil for working on cuticles.  It also comes with a Nail Wall File to smooth and perfect. 

I really discovered some unique hand and nail products in this collection that really surprised me.  After this experience, I have been browsing the Memebox Shop for more of their hand and nail products for how wonderfully they worked.  Do yourself a favor and check into their hand and nail products such as Kocostar, a favorite of mine, as well because I think you will be impressed.

Review: The Korean Secret to Beautiful Skin--Memebox Special #7 Milk Box + July Discount Code!

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Memebox Special #7 Milk Box is a great assortment.

Whether you’re at the beach, by the pool, lounging in your backyard or strapped to your desk at work, you need smooth, soft skin to be the confident beauty that you are. With the latest arrival of Korean beauty, the Memebox Special #7 Milk Box comes equipped with seven milk-based beauty products that help keep you looking your best.

The Memebox Special #7 Milk Box retailed for $23 plus $6.99 shipping.  Unfortunately, it sold out quickly. Of course, I am not surprised considering what an amazing stash of products I found inside that perky pink box.  Hold on to your seats because you will find some unique beauty items with ingredients that you don’t see every day in the states.  

Memebox Special #7 Milk Box

1.  Hello Everybody Bubble Bath Steam Milk–25g--Full Size ($4)

2.  Hello Everybody Nature Holic Body Lotion Milk–300ml–Full Size ($25)

3.  Pure Smile Choosy Lip Scrub–25g–Full Size ($11)

4.  Pure Smile Milk Mask Pack–23ml–Full Size ($1)

5. Skin Ceramic Donkey Milk & Argan Oil Multi Steam Cream–100g–Full Size ($34)

6. Enesti Rice & Milk Foaming Cleanser–120ml–Full Size ($15)

7. Pure Smile Choosy Lip Pack Milk–Full Size ($1)

Total Value:  $91

I did not try the Hello Everybody Bubble Bath Steam Milk yet.  However, I plan to take advantage and pamper myself in a creamy bubble bath with softening milk protein and other skin pleasing ingredients like almond oil, chamomile and rosemary leaf extract on the first cool day.   

The Hello Everybody Nature Holic Body Lotion Milk is a rich, scented lotion made out of goat’s milk, aloe vera, honey, lemon balm, and spearmint extract that your skin will love.  It delivers intensive moisture and is fast absorbing.  

Keeping lips kissable at all times is my number one priority. The Pure Smile Choosy Lip Scrub in Camomile Milk was a gentle way to exfoliate the lips with choice natural ingredients like sugar, peach, milk protein, chamomile extracts, and bees wax to make sure those kisses continue rolling in. 

I must confess that I do have a weakness for facial masks whether I make them in my kitchen or take them out of a package like the Pure Smile Milk Mask Pack because they do boost radiance and help skin creams, serums, and lotions work harder.  All I had to do was apply the mask sheet over my clean face and relax with it on for about 20 minutes.  I cheated and took a half hour break and allowed those milk proteins extra time to beautify me before I removed.  It does make the complexion feel velvety.

I hinted around before about an unusual product.  I was talking about the Skin Ceramic Donkey Milk & Argan Oil Multi Steam Cream.  This is a luxurious, rich face cream that I lavished over my clean face to hydrate and smooth my complexion.  

The Enesti Rice & Milk Foaming Cleanser is a foaming cleanser more like a nourishing natural soap, not intended to remove makeup–only gently to wash and revive the complexion with its moisturizing ingredients.  My dry skin felt nice and not tight.

The Pure Smile Choosy Lip Pack Milk was fun also for inviting kisses.  This is a lip patch that is full of milk proteins for repairing dryness.  You wear in over your lips for about thirty minutes and then pat in the ingredients before discarding.  Be ready to pucker up again after this with the lip renewal it brings.

If you thought milk was only for drinking, think again!  Milk beauty products can work wonders for smoother texture and hydration when it comes to your skin.  Though you may have lost your chance at snagging this Memebox Special #7 Milk Box, the company will take $5 off any order now through July 31 when you enter discount code SJNCTE18HN at checkout. This discount is limited to one time per customer.

In a jungle of beauty boxes, Korean brand, Memebox really knows how to keep beauty loving girls happy with their glorious variety of enticing selections.  This time the company sent me their Memebox #Hair & Body 2, which is sensational for scented pampering for skin, hair, and nails.  

With the seven products inside, you can keep gorgeous from head to toe all summer long. 

The cost of this box was $23 plus $6.99 shipping. Unfortunately, #Hair & Body 2 sold out three days after its June 20 release.  When I tell you what you missed, you will understand why beauties worldwide need to put their order in early once such a tempting Memebox is made available! 

Explore the contents of Memebox #Hair & Body 2 with me below.

Total Value: $87.36

The Kocostar Foot Therapy was a fun way to moisturize feet just by slipping them into this translucent pair of socks filled with treatment.  It attached around the ankle and when worn for about an hour and half, it exfoliates hard skin gradually over the course of several days. This made for smoother, prettier feet for my new pair of sandals.

The Label Young Shocking Holjjuki was next on my list to try.  This cellulite buster draws out trapped toxins due to its green tea and algae extracts.  Though not a permanent solution, I did notice a bit less of that dimpled texture on my thighs after a few uses.

Hello Everybody Spa Vita Berry Shampoo has such a delicious fragrance that you will not want to rinse as you lather with this luscious formula of ten berry extracts.  

Next, I followed with the Hello Everybody Spa Vita Berry Treatment to further nourish it. My hair was shiny, manageable and possessed that lingering berry aroma.

The Vidnail Vida Lavender Oil was something special that I really enjoyed.  Imagine how fabulous it was inhaling lavender in a product to revive the condition of your nails. 

The Evas Cosmetics Body Net 7Days Project in Berry Complex made me feel like I was bathing in a fresh tub of foaming berries.  It was a perfect end to a long, hard day at the computer when you need to unwind a tired mind and body.

Last of all, I got a bottle of Boutique Bebe Hair Salon Argan Oil Essence.  Who doesn’t love argan oil hair serums?  This girl certainly does!  However, I just conditioned so I didn’t try this product yet, but I will the next time I do.

Since I can’t travel the world to personally shop for beauty products, I am so glad that Memebox brings the best of what Korean brands have to offer to us.  Our languages may be different, but we speak the same language when it comes to beauty. 

Here’s something exciting, readers, you can get $5 off your purchase on any Memebox selection when you enter discount code SJNCTE18HN at checkout starting July 1 until July 31, 2014.  This discount is limited to one time per customer.  

What are you waiting for, gorgeous, when there is Memebox’s website to browse?  Trust me, you are going to love what you find there!
