Memebox Superbox #41: My Cute Wishlist!

I recently became a little obsessed with Memebox - I've settled down a bit now but there was a brief period where I kind of ordered almost every box I saw! Now I'm getting to know a bit more about what I'm likely to enjoy, and it's easier to say no...most of the time. 

My latest Memebox? My Cute Wishlist!

The My Cute Wishlist Memebox is a Superbox, meaning it contains only full-sized products. I love cutesy Korean packaging so this box is one of my favourites! It contains 9 products:

*kitten not included.

I know you can't read the card in the photos but Mister McMuffin Marshmallow Muppet was being so squee!

First up are Pure Smile "Point Pads". I got two packs, each with 10 sheets. 

They are basically mini sheet masks for localised areas. One is hibiscus, the other is lemon grass, I'm not sure if they do different things so I will investigate online.

The next three products are from "a;t fox" and are mini cupcakes containing three different face creams. So cute!

They each contain 10ml and the varieties are Firming, Whitening and Moisturising. Love them!

The next two products are from one of my favourite Korean brands, Étude House! 

The candy cane is called "Sweet Recipe Candy Stick" in Seedless Strawberry Candy flavour; it's a cute lip balm which is very sheer pink and strawberry flavoured! The little pink dude is a dolphin apparently, lol, it contains 30ml of hand cream in a gorgeous rose scent. The cream is light, non-greasy and absorbs quickly, love love love :)

The next item is my favourite, "Beauty People" Snow White eyeliner set! It's a pencil tin with a slightly bitchy-looking Snow White, containing five eyeliners in Pearl, Gold, Copper, Brown and Black.

The pencils are amazingly soft, you can barely feel them on your skin. They have fantastic pigmentation and once they set they don't smudge. The colours are beautiful and compliment each other well, and are great everyday shades :)

The last two items are Pure Smile Muddy Girl mud pack face mask, and Kocostar Split End Therapy leave-in hair mask. 

The mud pack is your basic charcoal mud mask, it's a single-use container and retails for $1, I'm a bit nervous about using it on my dry, sensitive skin so I might pass it along to a friend. The hair mask is also single use and comes with a wrap type thingy to stick your ponytail in, which you secure with the included ponytail band - which has rabbit ears!

Blurry photo - things got a bit hectic when Hercules spotted the bunny ears...

I tried to put the bunny ears on the kittens but lets just say they weren't receptive to the idea.

"Mum, I'm a boy. Please take it off. And get a life."

This Memebox cost $23 plus $6.99 shipping. All boxes ship from Korea, which means they arrive reasonably quickly, I usually get mine within 7-10 days. There is an express shipping option but it's way more expensive - but sometimes they have bundle deals which include two boxes and a free upgrade to express shipping, which usually arrives within 3 days! 

I love being able to pick and choose Memeboxes when I feel like it. They are always amazing value and have some fun and interesting items - and no Avene or Modelco! You can check them out at http://us.memebox.com :)

Have a great day!

Quite a few photos of kittens.

I have been avoiding blogging about a very painful topic - the loss of most of my hair. I'll get to it eventually and had intended it to be my first post, but it's proved to be a bit more stressful than I thought. Just for now, it's enough for you to know that my previously past-waist-length hair looks like this:

Purrrrple. 

Anyway we shall chat about the hair fiasco when I'm ready. So for now, I'm going to talk about something I'm comfortable with. Kittens!!

Five weeks ago I took on five foster kittens who were only five days old. New lucky number! Their eyes and ears were still closed, and they weighed about 80 grams each. They needed to be bottle fed every three hours around the clock, and they also needed help going to the bathroom. Luckily my little 8 month old kitty PeppilyPig is a natural born mama and she helped me with bathing, and more importantly toileting duties. You don't want to know how that works. Nature is beautiful but sometimes it needs a breath mint.

Thanks to Peppy these five babies have never really felt like they had no mama cat. She slept with them, snuggled them close, washed their little faces, chirped and purred and talked to them, and let them climb all over her.

I had 3 weeks of complete glassy-eyed sleep deprivation until they finally started to wean off the bottle. I'm pretty sure I went for days without brushing my hair, and I earned the nickname pee pants because sometimes when I was feeding the kittens they would have a little accident on my lap. They also weren't real careful with their claws...

Yep no that's fine I always wanted a nostril piercing...

Now they are six weeks old and although they are very little for their age, they are all strong and healthy and very, very cuddly! I've also added an extra kitten along the way, a little 7 week old boy who was surrendered by himself but quickly became part of my fluffy foster family. 

So my babies now look like this:

They're such grubs! They like to go snorkelling in their kitten food, they're still learning :) 

I will probably be posting more kitten photos in the near future. Sorrynotsorry. If you aren't totally sick of them you can check out my Instagram account, hissycatkrissy, which is full of photos and plenty of cute videos too :)

Well this is awkward.

Maybe I'll write about my candle collection sometime.

October Wantable subscription box!

I have posted previously about how much I loved my August and September Wantable boxes here, and I am happy to say that October is another winner! Wantable is fast becoming my favourite beauty box. Being from the USA it costs me around $40 per month, but you can skip a month or two whenever you want, so you can just get a quarterly box if you like.
