This is a box I got at a restock for $15 (included shipping), I already knew what was in it and the price was right so i had to get it!

 Mini 1 came with five sample sized products.






Verikos Ultra Matte Velvet Primer 3ml $3.90

Product description
The perfect primer for oily skin types, Verikos Ultra Matte Velvet Primer will softly yet thoroughly smooth out your uneven skin texture, covering and filling in all visible pores and fine lines on your face. It also helps maintain moisture/oil balance and evens out your complexion with vitamin A and vitamin E.


 How to use
After skincare routine, apply small amounts on areas you wish to cover up and even out using your fingers. Apply a bit more if you want more coverage. For drier skin types, mix the primer with BB cream.






A True Black tea All Day Long Sun Cream 10ml $7.80

Product description
Made from Ronde Du Soleil blending of black tea, orange zest, and cinnamon, this long.lasting sun cream will protect, soothe, and hydrate your skin all day long.

How to use
Take an adequate amount and spread it evenly over your face, at least 30 minutes before you go outdoors.


Holika Holika Skin & Good Cera Super Cream 10ml $4.5

Product description
This super hydrating cream lasting for over 72 hours is made from purely ceramide and anhula extracts. First, ceramide is one of the three main components of out skin cells and works to protect out skin and prevent moisture from escaping. The arugula extracts also create a protective barrier over your complexion. (The Skin & Good Cera is cruelty free & for sensitive skincare line.)

How to use
Apply an adequate amount evenly over your face and dab it in with your hands for better absorbance.

My thoughts
I really loved using this product, it's super hydrating, but it absorbs fast and helps my skin from getting oily. I get four uses from one sample, so i would get 24 uses from the full size. I haven't used this with makeup, but I don't think it would make a good base unless you have very dry skin and maybe during winter. i always apply moisturizer to my face and neck so if only applied to face you would get more use out of it. I would consider buying this when if I ever manage to go through all of my moisturizers so in four years time.


Hanskin Bio Origin Royal Ampoule BB SPF 30 PA++ 5ml $9

Product description
An entire bottle full of nutrition of an ampoule, this highly enriched Ampoule BB offers strengthened skincare effects as well as anti-wrinkle functions. Packed with extracts from royal jelly and tabebuia Avellaneda, it will deliver rich nutrients and deep relief to your skin, its light, oil-based texture will glide onto your skin as if wrapping the skin with silk or velvet for a much brightened, glowing complexion.


How to use
After skincare, squeeze out a single drop of the ampoule BB and apply it evenly on your face. Apply a second drop for better coverage and skin texture.

My thoughts
This is by no means full coverage, but it dose help even out the skin tone. I like using this for when I just want something light coverage, like if I´m just going to the store.



Botanic Hill Boh Radiant Youth Ampoule Essence 5ml & Boh Moist Youth Ampoule Essence 4ml $6

Product description
Botanic Hill´s moist youth & radiant youth ampoule essence will work to nullify signs of fine wrinkles and to brighten up your overall skin tone for a younger-looking, more radiant complexion.

How to use
After toner application, apply an adequate amount evenly over your face.

My thoughts
Boh botanic hill moist youth ampoule essence featured in #memebox mini 1 and luckybox 7. The info cards is not very helpful with this product, but it's supposed to be the same product an ampoule and essence combined moist youth and trading youth. I know some have combined these in their skincare, but I've tried them out on their own. I used these two samples for over a week and I hated them. I've never used any strong treatments on my skin and I've still not tried oils. I´ve used some products that contain alcohol and my skin do not like them. My skin goes a bit oily during the day and I had these small bumps on my forehead before when I was lazy with my skincare. I do also have blackheads and a few times a month I'll get a pimple after eating unhealthy. This product slightly burned my skin, I don't know if this contains alcohol since i haven't found a ingredients list online, but that's how it felt. it wasn't to bad, but enough for me to notice. my second problem is that this product left my skin sticky, like it never absorbed into my skin. I think it ended up clogging my pores, because I did get a lot of small red pimples. I occasionally will get those really hurtful under skin pimples when I don't cleans my skin and use heavy makeup, whiteheads and as I said some mature pimples, but i don't usually get small red pimples. I also got some black heads on my chin. This product didn't work for me and I would not repurchase. If I receive more of these samples in my memeboxes they will be gifted of thrown away.

botanic hill boh radiant youth ampoule essence; I tried this out after the boh moist youth ampoule and this was even worse on my skin. In the beginning of using this I was under a lot of stress so I wanted to check that wasn't why my skin freaked out. I used it for a few days after and my skin was still turning worse and in a few days after stopping using it my skin was almost back to normal, therefor I'm quite confident that this was the problem. I also didn't add anything new to my skincare to be 100% sure.

My skin has never looked worse then while using this product, I was getting clogged pores all over my face and even under my chin. It's a shame since I tried it on my arm and it made it feel amazing and it absorbed a lot faster there then on my face. One of these lasted me five days while also using it on my neck, I only used one of them since I didn't want to put my skin through another one. I've read mixed review on this from making their face feel super soft and amazing to doing nothing. I haven't been able to find any ingredients list so I've no idea what my skin clearly don't like. If you're considering buying this product I would suggest getting a sample to make sure you don't have the same reaction as me.

Value $31,2

My thoughts
Of the three products i´ve tried from this box so far I really like two of them; the cream and BB. I love having sample sun screens to keep in my bag so that will be used. I need to remember to use the primer soon, those containers aren´t the best to keep products in. I´ll be using the last two products and I already liked two so for me it was a good box, but the value isn´t as high as special and super boxes. I might have bought if it was restocked for the original price since the cream and Bb is worth almost the $15 alone.
