Cherry blossom: review: memebox x pony smoky eye makeup set

Hi all, it has been quite long since my last post. I got so busy this lately and i forgot to do my post. I bought few items in this week. But today i would like to do my review on my very first memebox.

If you have been following the korean makeup trends, you would be familiar with the word "memebox". It is an online shopping shop in canada like testerkorea or jolse but it sells only korean cosmetic and product. Its main target is to sell korean products to the american but it has shipped globally now.

I was interested in this memebox because it delivers a hand curated box with lots of korean product inside with different theme and the price is so cheap rather than buying the products separately.

And this few years they have collaborated with korean top beauty vloggers such as pony, so young, yeondokyung, and few others, to create their own cosmetic line. (i hope i can be one of them. Haha)

Memebox also produce their own makeup line which is called memebox xo. Even though the brand is memebox, you don't need to worry, for they produce such a high quality product with cheap price.

Now for the review, there are tons of other boxes in their website and i'm so confuse in selecting one of them.. One day i came across the mAkeup tutorial on youtube. It was about pony teaching how to achieve smoky eyes feat memebox. And when i checked on the website, they do sell the set. It is called pony x memebox smoky eye set. It consists of 6 different products. It has 2 eyeliners, 1 lipstick, 1 eyeshadow pallete with 8 colours, 1 face brightener + blush, 1 mascara and it is only around $40 or in indonesia Rp 750.000 since i bought it from online shop.

First, i will review the eyeliners. It has such a strange name, "i'm eyeliner" hehehe. It consists of 5 colours but i only got 2 which are the moonstone (brown) and night (black). It is a gel type pencil eyeliner. Don't be fooled by the brand's name for this is such a quality product. It is a waterproof, smudge proof and can stay for 24 hours. I never used it for 24 hours yet but i used it for More than 16 hours and it was still good without ceasing or smudging. It is a double ended type with the pencil on top and a sponge on the bottom. Memebox also provided the pencil sharpener in the middle. I'm in love with this product. The color is super pigmented and very easy to use even for beginner. One thing that is lack from this eyeliner is, it is hard to remove. You will need a waterproof makeup remover to remove it. I'm planning to buy all the shades since it is so cheap and effective.

Next, i'll be reviewing the mascara. It is called "i'm mascara" hehehe. The color is in jet black. Ok, i need to be honest with you, i rarely used mascara since i don't have one haha.. I bought so many products and i always forgot to put mascara in the list. But everytime i do my makeup, i always feel there is something missing and its a mascara. I was planning to buy innisfree skinny mascara but because i already ordered this box, i cancel the mascara since i will not be using 2 mascaras. It will just spend my money Hehe. The mascara it self is waterproof. The quality is average, nothing special. The lasting effect is the same as the eyeliner. I can't say i love this mascara or not since i Haven't tried lots of mascara yet.

The third review is about the lipstick. It is called "i'm lipstick" too. In shade pure pink beige. I never had any beige color lipstick but this is definitely worth to try. At first, this shade looks weird on bare face without makeup since it is a pale colour and doesn't really stand out. But once you applied makeup and put this on your lips, it will look so beautiful and natural. It has matte finish but doesn't dry on lips. It feels creamy and moist on lips but with matte finish (not the powdery matte feeling if you know what i mean). I really love this lipstick and i'm planning to buy the whole shades. For the lasting performance, i can say it lasts for 3 - 4 hours without eating

since it is a pale colour.

Next, the blush which is called, pony galaxy pink blush. This is not a part of memebox's cosmetic line but this belongs to the pony line along with the eyeshadow pallete. The blush has 4 blocks of color. The colors are mostly in pink shades. At first I thought it was not very pigmented because the color looked too sheer. But once i applied it, it looked so beautiful. Very natural and bright at once. It contains very small shimmer particle and this make my cheek glow. Unfortunately, pony only has one shade for this blush and they do not include any brush for applying it, while in the box it stated that it has a brush included in the package.

Last but not the least, is the main star this set. The pony season 2 eyeshadow pallete. The box has the same design as the blush box. They have galaxy pattern with night black sky. Pony has created 3 seasons of eye pallete. The first on consists mainly with brown colour. The second one (the one that i have) has more variety of colors. It has purple, brown, nude, and pink shade. But this pallete doesn't has matte color. It's all about sparkle!

The colors are very pigmented and long lasting, even for the sheer colors. I think pony's collection is all about a good quality product with cheap price and i really recommend it fot anyone.

I'm kinda attracted to other memebox products and i'm planning to buy the other memebox collaboration boxes. Please let me know if you have any curiosity on those boxes. Thank you very much, see yaa
