Hand and Nail Care Memebox review, unboxing

Of  late, I have been suffering from broken and peeling nails, hangnails and cuticle issues. I began taking biotin from August 1, but need to address the existing concerns asap so I can get back to nail polish.
The Memebox Hand and Nail Care Special 26 beauty box was of interest to me for this very reason. I expected it would have hand creams, a hand mask or two, nail masks, and cuticle and nail treatment products, rather than nail polish, as the word "care" was mentioned. I did not want nail polish. First of all, I rarely venture beyond my favourite polish brands. Secondly, with my nails suffering from the vagaries of the weather, air travel and an appalling schedule, I have not been wearing nail polish for a while now. This box sounded like a godsend to my battered nails.

Here is my review and unboxing of the Memebox Special 26 Hand and Nail Care box.

The contents are:

1. Barbinie Shea Butter Hand Cream in Violet Musk 50ml
2. Shara Shara Soft Hand Gommage 50ml
3. With Shan Baby Hand Set - Treatment Oil and nail file
4. Pure Plus Hydrogel Moisturising Nail Patch
5. Pure Skin Hand Care Pack
6. With Shan Dr Care Set - Dr.01 and Paper File
7. Sur 3D Nail Art Kit - 3D Magnet Emerald and Nail Art Pen

Seven full-sized products there for the hands and nails. A quick look at each.

Barbinie Shea Butter Hand Cream in Violet Musk 50ml

A very sweet-smelling hand cream, in pretty packaging. This is enriched with shea butter and aloe vera extracts. I am always running out of hand creams, so this will come in handy. No pun intended.

Shara Shara Soft Hand Gommage 50ml

This is a peeling gel to exfoliate and soften dry hands. I have seen peeling gels for the face and the feet, but never for the hands! I am keeping this for the drier months, when my palms flake a bit.

With Shan Baby Hand Set - Treatment Oil and nail file 

A lemon-infused tratment oil, which also contains vitamin E, this should be soaked into the nail wall file first. Then, a drop of oil must also be applied on the fingers before you file away gently to remove dry cuticles, ridges and rough edges. Can't wait to try this one out!

Pure Plus Hydrogel Moisturising Nail Patch 

Ha! Didn't I tell you there would be a nail mask in this box? These are actually patches, enriched with collagen, milk, pearl powder and gold (WHOA!). You apply these for 20 minutes and remove for deep moisturisation. This can wait for a pampering session over a weekend.

Pure Skin Hand Care Pack

And, a hand mask - pictured above, to the left. The glove-kind. I had just run out of them all. Very handy. Again, pun unintended.

With Shan Dr Care Set - Dr.01 and Paper File

This is an emergency treatment set for split or broken nails, rather than a cuticle or roughness removing set. Here, you apply the Dr.01 every two days for a week, clean up the nails thoroughly and begin all over again. You can also use the Dr.01 as a base coat. I have serious nail breakage issues and hope this will solve all my problems.

Sur 3D Nail Art Kit - 3D Magnet Emerald and Nail Art Pen 

The emerald nail polish is magnetic, and comes with a separate magnet. But what I love is the nail art pen, which is a beautiful rusty red and incredibly precise. I cannot wait to do some fall nail art with this!

Summary and deals

After a while, this is a Memebox that I loved completely. Not only will everything be used, but I especially like that there are a few new, innovative products that I can play with. The one nail polish does not take away from the care and pampering aspect of this box. The good news is that this box is still available, for just $23.
