A box chock-full of chocolate-scented products? Genius. So good, I want to eat everything inside. This is perfection for the chocolate lover. You're likely already familiar with Memebox - individually-priced and carefully themed Korean beauty boxes. The Memebox Special #45 Chocolate Mania retails for $23 USD + shipping, which is a ridiculously good deal considering that the total value of 8 full-size products in the box is $88.

Above is preview swatches of the products...by the looks of it, products range from dark chocolate to white chocolate...I'm going to gloss over my evaluation of the scent because EVERYTHING smells like chocolate and it's pretty great. Let's see what's inside:
Pamper your skin with Super Gold Cacao Pack infused with a blend of 99.9% gold and cacao powders – a beauty formula widely loved by Kings and Queens for its highly effective skin smoothening, firming, and nourishing results.
Looks like a dark shade of ... poop, quite unappetizing but it's the most chocolate-y smelling of the entire box. I have yet to experience the firming effects of this product, but a first impression use of this 10-20 minute mask product left my skin feeling smooth and nourished.
A soft, cream-type facial scrub formulated with real cacao extracts to gently peel away any dead skin cells, blackheads, and whiteheads clogging up pores while maintaining skin’s moisture level well-balanced. Plus, who doesn’t want to try a scrub resembling cookie & cream!
Missha is a familiar sounding, trusty Asian brand! This looks exactly like melted Hershey's cookies and cream chocolate. The cacao pieces aren't too large or rough but it but the entirely physical exfoliator removes dead skin with ease. I'll be adding this into my regular exfoliating rotation.
An intensively moisturizing and nourishing facial butter cream specifically formulated to target those with super dry, sensitive skin suffering from severe dehydration and rough, cracking skin texture in the winter times. Its key ingredients – gold, cacao seed butter, mango seed butter, shea butter, and olive oil – are all naturally derived and thus gentle enough to be used by all skin types.
A lighter scented chocolate product, the Neogen Code9 Gold Cacao Cream is most definitely on the moisturizing side of things. It's fairly lightweight, given that it's targeted towards those with drier skin. It sinks in quickly and leaves skin feeling soft. The one thing that bothers me to no end is that the gold ingredient in the cream translates to visible gold glitter. Which is my absolute favourite thing to have on my face ... not.
Replenish and rejuvenate skin with richly nutritious blend of avocado oil, cacao extracts, and banana extracts. Shara Shara Tempting Avocado Chocolate Massage Cream will deeply nourish, firm up, and smooth out rough, sagging skin, bringing back a healthy glow to your complexion.
At first, I thought this to be a body cream, but it's actually a wash-off face product. To use it, you apply the cream on your face and massage for 5 minutes. I find that self-massaging for 5 minutes is a bit tedious but the results are worth it, because who doesn't want supple skin. The moisturizing effect isn't optimal for my very oily skin, but this will come in handy in the deep of winter.
The Cocoa butter complex delivers deep moisture & nutrition care to dry, rough-textured hands.
A brand that I'm mildly familiar with, this is probably the product is the box that I will get the most use out of. Cold winters call for high-performance hand creams, and I'm quite happy with this one. The texture is different from other hand cream/balm products I've tried. It's slightly bouncy and not as sticky as a hand cream which is nice because it absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving an oily residue.
Scented with a delicious chocolaty goodness, Binucook’s hand-made Cacao Choco Pie Soap looks and smells of real choco pie (a popular chocolate snack in Korea) and works to deep cleanse as well as maintain skin’s moisture/oil balance.
This guy looks EXACTLY like a chocolate dessert. But beware, it's actually SOAP! No special feelings towards this particular soap, though it does smell delish!
A facial pulp mask made from high concentrates of cacao and collagen extracts. It’s gentle on skin, delivers an instant moisture surge and works to improve skin elasticity for a healthier complexion overall.
I used this moisturizing mask after exfoliating with the Missha Cacao & Cream mask. The Purederm Collagen Mask has a light choco scent. The sheet is quite thin and not overly wet or dripping with serum. The mask fit my face well, as there were slits on the sides to wrap around the edges of the face. The result were good but not particularly unique or spectacular - moisturized, non-sticky skin. It seems like Purederm is actually available at Walmart (in Canada). So realistically, this mask is quite accessible for me!
Frame, structure, and stylize eyebrows with this easy-to-use auto-pencil. It features a colored tip to trace the eyebrows and fill in sparse areas. The formula features a beautiful no-smudge finish, and long-lasting hold. The result? Perfectly groomed brows and completely enhanced eyes.
Upon opening this eyebrow pencil, a half of the pencil broke off. I applied it to my brows as directed and the colour was way too warm (my hair is jet black) and washed it off immediately. I put it away for a few days and picked it up again to test the longevity. Unfortunately, the rest of the pencil fell out and all I'm left with now is a spoolie.
I'm a tad overwhelmed by all the chocolate stuff. This is a delightfully scented box (nearly good enough to eat). Everything smells like cocoa butter and chocolate. Most of the products were skincare (and I'm drowning in skincare) but nothing says relaxation like a luxuriously scented chocolate-scented scrub or mask. The box looks like it's sold out, but if you want to smell like a bar of chocolate, Memebox sells some of these products on their website.
