Memebox Special Green Food Cosmetics Review

One more Memebox review! This time it's Green Food Cosmetics.  This is Memebox Special #64 and I got it because I fell in so much love with the Superfood Memebox.  I use things from that box every day so I figured this box would be just as good.  Or I hoped so, at least!  Now the truth is out and I'm here to tell you what it is.

Memebox Green Food Cosmetics has five products and cost $29 plus shipping.  I bought it in a set and used a 20% off coupon so I didn't pay quite that much, thankfully.  I will tell you right now that I think this box should have had one more product in it.  I know what I wish that product was, too.

Here is the Memeblurb about this box:

"Did you know that green fruits and veggies are packed with excellent sources of vitamins, sulfur, and chlorophyll - all potent skin and body detoxifiers – to give your most gorgeous and healthiest looking skin? The beauty benefits that we get from green foods is unimaginable. It adds luminosity to the skin, revives damaged skin tissues, and supports the skin’s healing process for faster cell turnover."

I'm starting with the only two green related things in the box.  Or rather the ones that also have green on the label.

WillSpa Chill Out Roll-On-  This is a roll-on aromatherapy oil.  It smells great! Like pepperminty goodness.  It will clear your nasal passages, no problem. However, I will warn you that it leaks.  Or at least mine does.  It has to be standing up or else it leaves a puddle.
The card indicates that it also has lavender in it, but the concentration must be low since I have no reaction at all to this.  There is also a Breathe Easy version with peppermint and eucalyptus.
So I guess peppermint is green so it fits.

Tosowoong Aloe Whitening Treatment Essence-  I've noticed that aloe pops up a lot in Korean cosmetics.
That's not a bad thing at all since aloe is great for soothing and healing.  I just don't like straight up aloe plain.  This is not plain aloe.  This is an essence with 75% pure aloe vera leaf water, niacinamide, Rh-Oligopeptide-1 (this can repair epidermis, delay aging, fade dark spots, inhibit wrinkles, and hydrate the skin- it's a good thing!), Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate, not to mention antioxidants in the forms of plant extracts.  This is a great product and you should see results.  It has a very faint scent that is not unpleasant and leaves my skin very soft and hydrated.  I might have to rotate this in immediately.
This product is going to brighten (not whiten!) your skin, soothe irritation and redness and hydrate, all at the same time.

Solucion 9 Aztec Theraphy [sic] Shampoo in Natural Herb 50%- Even the Memecard corrected the spelling for 'therapy', haha!  That was actually hard to type to be wrong on purpose.  I like spelling things correctly.  If I don't, it is probably a typo.  Of course, being good at spelling has it's downsides. If you ask me to add 8 + 7 I have to use my fingers.
Anyway, this is the second shampoo I've ever received in a Memebox, so it is immediately intriguing. It also smells... strange.  It smells like... dill.  Or something lemony and green.  The shampoo itself is green so it fits the box! Yay!  But...
It says it has Espinosilla, which is a Central American plant traditionally used to prevent dandruff (among other various ills), Aloe, Nettle, Jojoba, Verbena (oh, that would be the lemony bit), Chamomile (that is definitely part of the "planty green" smell), Rosemary (don't really smell that), citrus and Ortiguilla (stinging nettle!).
Well, it's weird and I'll try it.  It also came with a pump which I misplaced in my eagerness to get photos of all the boxes I got.  I found it again and it's now installed and in the shower for me to use tomorrow.  I wonder if my hair will smell like plants.
*update*
I used this shampoo and while it smelled like I was making pickles the whole time, I don't hate it.  I would call it a Clarifying Shampoo.  It left my hair very clean and shiny.  I didn't use a conditioner because I wanted to know what my hair would smell like from the shampoo and it smells fine.  It smells like clean hair.  I did need a detangler, though.  I will say I was fully expecting to hate it but it turns out I'm going to leave it in the shower.

Derma:B Fresh Moisture Body Lotion-50ml- I've received this before in the full size and I didn't care for the scent then so this will go up for swaps.  I don't even know why I didn't like it since it says its got bergamot, peppermind, tea tree, ginger and amber notes as it's "refreshing herbal blend".  That must be why it's in the box.
Some people LOVE this, so make sure you give it a try.  It's definitely moisturizing and especially good for dry skin but gack, I don't like the smell. And I'm not a hard core body lotion person. Although I probably should be.  Especially in this freezing cold weather we are having.

Primary Raw Do You Soy Milk Facial Cream in Original- Now this is the cutest thing in the box, for sure!  It's a glass jar (it says you should reuse it for a candleholder or for candies or anything) and it comes with a little scooper that is probably the best spatula I've ever received with a jar product. I'll have to keep it forever!  I can definitely use it for a homemade candle.  Once it's empty.  In forever amount of time.
This is a natural moisturizer made with soy bean extracts, soy milk ferments, rice water, galactomyces, niacinamide and other grain extracts.  So you can expect a soothing moisturizer excellent for sensitive skin.  I want to open this up and use it so much but I have got to get through at least one already open jar before I dig in!  Oh, the troubles of having too much wonderful product!
*Update* See full review of this product here.

VERDICT: This Memebox has some great products in it.  I feel like it should have had one more item for the price.  The item of choice for this box (in my humble opinion) would have been something from the Ladykin Broccoli line like the Broccoli Toner that was in the Superfoods box.  Mostly because I love that toner and I'm almost needing a new one.  Except I have so many toners I shouldn't buy another one yet.
I'm actually really surprised that not one thing from Ladykin ended up in this box.  I bought it thinking (I know, it's futile to guess what will be in a box) that there would be one thing but oh, well.
I *love* the Towosoong Aloe Essence and the Primary Raw moisturizer is cute and will be fun to try. The shampoo is novelty status with me and I might end up hating it which will stink (or my hair will stink, more likely).  The body lotion isn't me but it's a good one and I know it's been well received by others who like the brand.  I like the Pepperminty roll on but it WILL NOT stop leaking! I now have a puddle of pepperminty oil on my desk.
So basically, the products are fine and fun but there should have been one more thing for the price.
