Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

[seachange]

Hand creams and lip balms are so easy to find in cute packaging. There's also the super adorable Baviphat apple, lemons and peaches if you want to add masks, creams and peeling gels. 

This isn't cute, but I would have called this a petite treasure. http://testerkorea.com/Product/s-whoo-hwa-hyun-essence-8ml

Memespies, if we can curate a better box for close to the same price paying retail, there is no excuse for what you curate. 

I think that is not that they can't curate a great box, it's just that they probably have a list of products to clear first.

I actually ordered that several months ago, I really like it!! The scent is really nice.I have not seen any drastic changes though.

I do have to say, that the ice cream cone  is really cute.  They could have filled the box with those things and that would have been great.

I agree it's adorable. They should come out with hand creams in larger ice cream cones I would be all over those!

whew. coming home and catching up on this thread is like having homework!!

I got my Benton set today. Mail lady stuffed it into the mailbox again, guess she doesn't care for the RM pink cards. Works for me since post offices have such inconvenient hours for me.

I definitely don't expect Memebox to buy everything wholesale, I mean of course they get things at times for free and next to nothing. So it's not like I have unrealistic expectations to their boxes. And I do realize this limits their options a lot. 

But if they can put lots of cute and little sized items in other boxes, there's no excuse for not putting them into boxes with such themes.

I think that is not that they can't curate a great box, it's just that they probably have a list of products to clear first.

But if they advertise a box, they should be trying to curate a good box, not using us as a clearing house. Or, opening have a warehouse clearing out box. If they let it be known that the box had no specific theme and there could be differences in what everyone gets in the box, I bet for the right price point it would still sell. Just be open about it.

Is the packaging as nice as the picture makes it look? I have no interest in the product itself because it's out of my budget. I just really like that it seems like some sort of effort was put into a small sample size item.

I was not trying to defend memebox in any way, this is just my feeling about the recent boxes filled with repeats, CMP2 and clearance products.

Oh I know what you were saying. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I don't think anyone can defend some of the boxes they've sent us lately.

Oh, I doubt anyone assumes you're defending them.

And I agree. Some of the new items in the recent boxes were things I've seen on the Meme-K site as well. I think they're still rotating items between the different Memeboxes.

This is one heck of a warehouse clearout.

I am kinda pissed that the one item I will use from petit treasures expires in july.  2015

 

[seachange]

I guess we need to check the expiry date on all products from recent and the coming boxes

they actually mentioned it on the info card - there are 2 items that have to be used within a year or less /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

what is sad is that when they discovered the dran dran serum in fermented 2 was expiring in 12 months, they gave us another product and the serum.

here, they just tossed the two items in there.  If this had been a box with 6 items in it, maybe this would not have stung so badly.

Is it the

Shara Shara Cream?

A similar product in The Next Best Thing also has the same expiry date. That's a lot to have to use up in 7 months. Guess it's a good thing it's winter. 

ETA: Just read your blog. I'm never going to be able to use that up in 7 months. At best it's a spot treatment for me. And a question

Spoiler

Does it smell like sulphur? I tried the Mario Badescu drying lotion which has sulphur and I couldn't stomach the scent and had to wash it off because it was preventing me from sleeping.

Hmm, looks like 1 useable product for me in this box.

the next best thing has 3 expiring in 12 months, which is half of the box

@@blinded yes it is.

@seachange  omg.  Wow memebox, way to go. 

When I get that box, I am going to send a stern letter to memebox about this.  They should TELL people that XX amount of items must be used within XX months. 

Like I said, they were so upset about the dran dran product in fermented 2, they held up the box for a week or so, got another item to put in there and also gave us the dran dran item as well.

now, lets just toss those almost expired items into the global box.  They won't care :angry:

I have the feeling that they simply don't care what their customers think anymore. everyone was complaining about the CMP2 repeats in the recent boxes, and here we go, just another one again.

I'm hoping one of you ladies can help me (my memory) out with something.

I purchased 6 perfumed body mists from Mimi Lauranne (I forget how to spell it, which is part of the issue) after finding them heavily discounted down to $6. I believe they're the company that had a citrus scented one in one of the previous boxes that was amazing.

I don't suppose any of you happen to remember if it was in fact the same company, or am I just imagining things? I can't even remember which citrus fruit it was, or which box it was. 

 

[SerpentineBabou]

@@cfisher I think you're talking about the room spray/perfume mist that was in the grapefruit box. They also made the soap that was in the baby powder scent box.
