Secret A Magic Foot Peeling Mask  Foot Care Pack  Okay, as you can see, Memebox did not give me a foot peeling mask. What I received was just a foot care pack mask that will moisturize (a facial mask for your feet).  That isn’t what I paid for and I did email Memebox showing them the screen shots from their site and description and what I received.   Also, based on what I have been seeing on IG, it looks like other customers got the same thing I did.  huh

 

 

I haven’t heard back from them yet.   This box is starting off on the wrong foot (aha pun intended).  I will use this, but one of the reasons why I got this box was to get a foot peeling mask.   I have tons of moisturizing products for my feet already.  I am not sure what happened here, as Memebox does sell the foot peeling product that was supposed to be in this box.  RV $3.00

O.R.G Skincare Mineral Peel Face   For those who were not paying attention, you might think you were getting that bottle shown in the photo.  However, it does say travel size at 5 mL ~ BUT I wish Memebox wouldn’t have used the full sized version in their photo shot, because some people just look at the picture and believe that is what will be sent.   I am not sure why Memebox did this as they didn’t even state that the photo was not the same as what you were getting.  It doesn’t bother me, quite frankly, as I did notice it was a 5mL version, but man oh man ~ all of their promo shots had the full sized face peel product.  Someone really messed up with their photo shoot here at Memebox.  This is an all natural enzyme spray exfoliant and it will help gently exfoliate dead skin cells to reveal softer and smoother skin.  This is great to take with me on vacation!  Travel Size 5 mL RV $5.00

Despite having the wrong foot mask, which I hope Memebox will send out the correct version, I really liked this box!  I think it was a good value for $12.00, having a retail value worth of $28.00.  The lemon gel is really and I mean REALLY nice and I am surprised how much I love the hand cream ~ it is very moisturizing and lightweight, plus full of great ingredients.   Summer Essentials Box is still in stock at Memebox (click here)
