Cacao Memebox review, unboxing

A chocolate-special beauty box sounds like the ultimate dream, does it not? The moment this box was released, I bought it. It was one of those Memeboxes that sold out rather quickly. No surprises there. As a rule, I prefer eating white chocolate over anything with brown cocoa, but I'll take skincare with any kind of chocolate, please!
The heady smell of cocoa hits you the moment you open the box. It is rather like opening a large box of Cadbury's (I am not quite reconciled to the idea of Kraft buying the company) best selections. I have no idea how to take you through the experience - as you read through this post, would you please imagine that you are actually in a chocolate factory? Or, better still, go grab a bar before I show you the contents. Trust me on this one.

Here is my unboxing and review of the Memebox Cacao Special beauty box #11.

Grabbed your chocolate bar? Open it and take a bite. See the large vats of chocolate around? Good. Here we go.
Even the product card smells of chocolate after its sojourn with so much cocoa-goodness.

The external box is a little different from the usual Memeboxes. I wish they had sent out a chocolate-coloured or themed external box as well!

Here are the contents of the Memebox Cacao Special beauty box #11:

1. Etude House Milk Talk 200ml
2. WondeRuci Cacao Brightening Mask 100g
3. Pure Smile Chocolate Milk Essence Mask - one sheet
4. Evas Vitamin Cleansing Dessert - Coconut and Cacao 130g
5. Pure Smile Choosy Lip Scrub Chocolate 25g
6. Purederm Nose Strips - six - Choco Cacao

All seven products are full-sized, which is quite nice a deal for $23. Still eating your chocolate? A quick look at each product, then.

Etude House Milk Talk 200ml

This doubles as shower gel and bubble bath and smells even better than the thing you are eating. I will be using it as both - it is going straight into my shower. You only need 15ml for a bath, apparently, so it should last for a while. Yum!

WondeRuci Cacao Brightening Mask 100g

This is my absolute favourite product from this box. Take a look at the thick chocolate product below. I only wish it had come with a spatula, though I have enough spares to use. This is supposed to unclog pores and deep-cleanse without stripping the skin of moisture. Just in time for a weekend-pampering session, I say!

Pure Smile Chocolate Milk Essence sheet mask

Throughout this month, I have diligently been using face masks and the result is visible, according to friends and family. This is going to be the sheet mask I use next. I have no idea how it smells, but I hope it smells like chocolate as well!

Evas Vitamin Cleansing Dessert in Coconut and Cacao 130g

This is a face cleansing cream. You know I love rotating face cleansers in my routine (see post here) so this is definitely going to be used. It smells just like a large bar of Cadbury's Dairy Milk. I hope they send out the berry or red wine version of this in the Vitamin Special beauty box seen here, which I have bought - oooh, I NEED the red wine cleanser! Especially after a nice out with a heavy meal and a glass of Merlot.

Pure Smile Choosy Lip Scrub in Chocolate 25g

I am a huge fan of the Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub, reviewed here, and doubt I will find anything that comes as close. I have not opened this yet - the thing is, you can EAT the Lush scrub afterwards, but you cannot eat this. You see my problem?

Purederm Nose Pore Strips in Choco Cacao - six strips

I am not a fan of nose strips. IMO, they just sit there and do nothing. A scrub, or the Konjac sponge or the Foreo Luna, on the other hand, do a much better job removing blackheads and whiteheads. But since these are chocolate-scented, I will use them while reading a book in the bath.

Summary and Memebox deals
Before my closing remarks, I hope you enjoyed reading this post as much as you enjoyed eating your chocolate.I must say that unboxing this and just looking at and smelling everything has given me as much pleasure as using these products, or eating a bar of Schogetten Stracciatella (my current favourite) will.
Definitely one of the best Memeboxes so far. Don't you think that was a fabulous deal for just $23? This is why it is so important to buy Memeboxes as soon as they launch - they sell out that quickly, I assure you!
Global Edition beauty box 17 is available now here, as also an Earth and Sea special box (think volcanic ash, charcoal, marine/seaweed....) here and a Tea Special beauty box here. I am also interested in the Scrub box here, especially because it promises to scrub off flakes from the scalp as well! Today, second editions of the My Cute Wishlist box (think cutesy packaging) and the OMG box (kooky and innovative ingredients) and the best of Korean makeup box have been released, as well. I proceeded to take the total number of Memeboxes purchased to a decent 55 by ordering the Cute box and the OMG box as a bundle from here.
