Memebox Special #30 Tea Cosmetics

I was pretty keen on this box by Memebox. It sounds like an odd ingredient to go for but trust me when I say it is actually really boring in the grand scheme of things but that there are LOTS of great products that have different teas in them.
*This post is a bit later than the Scrub box that arrived at the same time as I waited until I came back from holidays to post given I took some of the products with me to try out.

 
  
E Choice Fermented Tea Skin Drinks Sleeping Pack 70g (rrp $2)
This had a really interesting consistency out of the tube. Like a matte gel. However once you start applying it went very glossy like a normal gel product. I liked that the scent wasn’t very strong and despite having about 5 layers of moisture on my face already this product still absorbed fairly quickly. I actually used this over a Jurlique night cream and I was really happy with how good my skin felt the next morning.

 
A;T Fox Tea Toc Water Clear Tablet 4g (rrp $2)
This super cute little pyramid is a tea bag and fizzer on the inside. Just about impossible to open the box without damaging the super cute packaging. Could have cried. Reading up about it though I really like that once you have used however much you need for that session you can store the rest of the liquid in a spritzer style bottle for future use. I went out and bought an empty bottle just for this purpose.

 
A;T Fox Gyoolpy Tea Fresh Water 100ml (rrp $10)
More cute things! You may think ok if has a little fox on the front but it really isn’t that cute. You would be wrong. This little fox is the same one on all A;T Fox products and to me he is a symbol of quality. You still think I’m crazy. I know it. BUT these are also the same people who made the little cupcake items from the My Cute Wishlist. Now do you see why I’m such a weirdo about it?

 
The Skin House Lavender Lightening Emulsion 120ml (rrp $40)
This was the biggest item in the box and also the one that really confused me. It is a Lavender Tea product. Now I have never made tea out of lavender so I’m not going to say it can’t be done, only that I’ve never seen it! Then when I tried to find out more information on it The Skin House website itself doesn’t even mention tea. Either way nice product all the same!

 
A•TRUE Miniature Set + Black Tea Bag 2pcs

Sweet Song Black Tea One-Step Cleansing Water 20ml (Full Size rrp $37)
Very handy little product and I took it away for 4 nights and it has not yet run out!

Vanilla Black Tea Day Relief Body Wash 20ml (Full Size rrp $32)
Body wash is fairly handy for travelling and this one had a nice light scent to it and was a thinner consistency so I felt went further.

Himalaya Black Tea Watery Gel Cream 15g (Full Size rrp $49)
Gel creams are usually a bit lighter than your usual night creams but go well as a part of the morning routine before your makeup goes on.

White Snow Tea Brilliant Essence 20ml (Full Size rrp $55)
This product isn’t heavy but it is creamy so if you plan on also using a gel style product maybe use this one afterwards.

Black Tea All Day Long Sun Cream SPF50+PA+++ 10g (Full Size rrp $36)
How appropriate given I live in Australia. Thank you Memebox! I’m sure this wasn’t put in just for me but you almost never see a mini sun cream in a travel cosmetics kit. It wasn’t as thick as a traditional sun cream but I didn’t feel like there was less coverage than normal.

 
 
Overall

This box was great value for me, the single use looking item can actually be saved for reuse, decent travel sized products were included, the sleeping pack was good quality and not heavily scented and the emulsion product was huge!

 
Would you buy a box with Tea based products? Have you tried different tea style beauty before? Do you see the idea of being able to save a product you make up on the spot for later as a good thing or bad thing and why? Let me know!
