[First Impression] Memebox Superbox #66 - Tonymoly!

"Better late than never" is a phrase that I like to apply to lots of different situations. Whether it be going to classes, doing homework . .. or reviewing a memebox. ..

So yes this box was shipped out quite some weeks ago, but I still want to review it so lord help me I am.

Tonymoly as a brand, has a special place in my heart. It appeals to my sensibilities of cuteness and things that smell nice. So of course I was excited about this box and of course I'm going to review it even if it is almost a month late...




So this box has 7 products, all full sized, and they are - 

• Delight Tint Crayon Neon
• Egg Pore Shiny Skin Soap
• Black Gel Eyeliner Long Brush
• Luminous Goddess Aura Beam
• Mini Peach Lip Balm
• Panda's Dream White Magic Cream
• Apple Tox Smooth Massage Peeling Cream

Delight Tint Crayon Neon - 07 Neon Cherry, $8
I have somewhat of a surplus of lip crayons and this is a welcome addition. It's light an moisturizing and it does seem to have the staining effect of any other tint. The packaging is sweet too; I don't know why but I always feel so much more positive about products that come in boxes, it just adds value for me or something I don't know. Anyway, a nice little inclusion.

Egg Pore Shiny Skin Soap, $9
This  may sound stupid but I was kind of worried that this products was going to smell of eggs. I was honestly quite relieved to find that it has a nice perfumey smell but looking back now I realize how I was dumb to expect otherwise in the first place. Regardless of smell, this is another nice little product; there's not much I can say other than it's good cleanser, it's pretty simple but not in a bad way, it works well and does its job.

Black Gel Eyeliner Long Brush - 05 Pearl Black, $10

I'm really loving that inspired name there, how inventive. Either way I was really impressed by this liner; I usually use feliners and don't really wander into the realm of liquid or gel liners but after trying this I think I may do so more often. It's a deep black colour that has the cute addition of a small amount of glitter that only becomes visible once you've applied it. that was a nice little surprise. The brush is compact and applies smoothly, the stay-power is insane (it took a lot of scrubbing to get it off my hand the first time i tested it), overall it's a really great product.

Luminous Goddess Aura Beam, $16
I don't think that, in all my years of using makeup thus far, I've ever been scared of a product. That was until I tried this out. Honestly I'm not afraid to admit that I don't understand this product. It's a multi-purpose products which sounds great but the problem is I can't imagine that it's particularly good at any of those purposes. One way that you can use it is as some kind of primer or base, but when I tried it out it was really heavy and sticky, like really sticky; I felt like I was putting caramel on my face, that's not a pleasant feeling. Over the course of the day I wore it I felt like my makeup looked and felt a lot heavier than usual and overall I just didn't enjoy using it. Maybe it's just me but this seems to be a bit of a miss.

Mini Peach Lip Balm, £7
Obviously there's not much I can say about a lip balm, it's just a lip balm. However this is a very nice smelling and tasting lip balm in cute packaging so it get bonus points. Other than that it's a lip balm. That's it.

Panda's Dream White Magic Cream, $12
Another multi-purpose product, but it seems that this time it's actually somewhat competent. This is an odd product that I can't seem to work out completely; it's somewhere between a moisturizer and a base. It seems far too heavy to use as a moisturizer, yet seems to absorb too much to be a base. I wish I could find a good use for it because it is actually pretty effective when it comes to whitening, but it just can't seem to find a place in my routine, at least the packaging is cute.

Apple Tox Smooth Massage Peeling Cream, $11

Something that I've realized I appreciate from Tonymoly is their packaging. Sometimes I think they really outdo themselves in design. Like with this product; the formula contains apple so they made the packaging into an apple. It seems pretty obvious and simple but it's something that a lot of brands don't do due to fear of losing brand image, and we end up losing quirky little things like this. Anyway, the product itself is a nice face mask-like substance that moisturizes your skin and leaves it feeling a lot smoother; a pretty simple product but it works well.

So that's (finally) the Tonymoly Memebox! Overall I'm really happy with this box; getting all full sized products makes boxes much more satisfying and with brand like Tonymoly that put a lot of thought into design, even if you don't use the product it can still sit on your desk and look cute which is always worth something.
