Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

But then I have a clinique eye shadow that 20 years old

Speculation:

Spoiler

Given that Next Best Thing and the Black Friday boxes have turned out to be very popular and they both had electronic info cards, I'm thinking that maybe they were curated by the new staff working in California. That makes me nervous about the boxes we ordered some time ago--if the new staff is cherry picking all the good stuff, that would explain why some of the boxes released for sale earlier look so sad.

 I'm not bothered by an expiration date for one year. My general rule is this, if I can move it into rotation once I'm finished with the products that I am currently using, no problem. But I don't want to receive a ton of items that have to be used up in 6 months. I would have to adjust my buying habits if that were the case, because lots of items I simply can't use that quickly.

With items like the Seatree....I'm more than okay with it. Seatree is a well established brand and they sell really well on sites like KoreaDepart. If we have to use an item up in six months to get those brands, so be it. It's not like Memebox will get them for free, or be able to pay their regular wholesale prices to add them to our boxes.

My only concern is that I don't want it to become the norm.

So there are new US shop value sets up on the site - two makeup and one skincare I think - aegyo style makeup, babyface style makeup and winter skincare value set. The prices don't seem to be reduced by all that much, and it's US only. I'm in the UK so can't buy anyway.

I got 5th place in the golden ticket giveaway and the code doesn't work. Anyone else have the same issue?

what was 5th place?

 

[Amy1234]

I got the newsletter. I don't know what to say tbh. I'm so disappointed. Every single link apart from the last general 'Cyber Monday Sale' one took me to the US shop. Even on the Cyber Monday link most deals (though admittedly not all) were US only. The thing is, there's not really anything new or any new deals for global customers. I'm not talking about boxes, that is clearly expecting too much. But just products.

So the 12 days of deals begins on December 9 (Tuesday). Bet that means there's nothing new now coming between now and then. It will be a boring Cyber Monday sale all the way through to early hours of Tuesday morning and then it will probably be a deal on a US only item. Ugh.

Yes, I had that. I had 6th place ($3 off a box) and it didn't work but I emailed them and they didn't reply but when I tried again a few days later, it worked.

Are you definitely trying to use it on a box though? It doesn't count towards shop orders.

which led me to think: "wait, didn't I get two tracking emais a few days ago?"

Turns out I have a WTF+wine and cheese bundle coming for me even though I'm pretty sure I cancelled.. I double checked and I did indeed get refunded, and my account says this order was closed...

What do I do O___O Will I have to send it back to them?

I cancelled my bundle also, received the PayPal refund, and UPS is scheduled to deliver it today. I'll be damned if they think I'm going to send it back. I cancelled it, they refunded, Meme's problem...not mine. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

For those that got Wine & Cheese without the Innisfree product I saw that they put in a Memebox mask with a we are sorry note.

A couple girls here have tried and liked them so I'm excited!

I wonder if the Memeshop will stock Astalift? I picked up some of their range when it was half-price in the UK, and these days even TK Maxx have run out!

@@Amy1234,yes i tried it on the brow and marzia box and it didn't work

The reason I'm bothered by the use by dates is that with Petite Treasures it's half the box! It shows that we were just sent whatever they found sitting at the back of the warehouse. I tend to use my items pretty sparingly, so doubt I'll have the cream totally used up in 6 months. Like someone else said, I'm worried it will become the normal thing. That if people think it's ok, any future (if any) boxes will be full of discounted old product they got for next to nothing. I feel like I paid for the items, I deserve to have something that's not so old. If I ordered from the shop and was sent that I'd be just as angry about it. When did it become okay to be sent product you pay for that's been sitting on a shelf for two years? Blah, I just don't like it. My budget us super tight so when I buy these I want some quality items I'll get long lasting use out of, maybe that's why it bothers me so much.

Just looked at these and am not tempted in the least.  The items included for the price are meh.

Random question: Does anyone else's USPS tracking numbers work for the RM numbers? I've got one from an Etude House order from 11/4 that still says "preparing origin shipment" or whatever and gets me nowhere, and I'm worried it's gone forever. Should I just call USPS? Can anyone there even help me if the system doesn't recognize the number?

@@ceredonia they weren't working for a while, but I think USPS has it back on track now.  I've been able to track my RM stuff recently.  Did your EH order ship 11/4 or is that when you made it?  For some reason, the ones that shipped Nov 15 seem to have people asking a lot of questions about them...

Yep. Mine that was shipped the 15th isn't tracking either along w/several memeboxes and shop orders from other vendors.  I wonder if it was all on one cargo/ship/shipment that was lost or something? Or maybe the whole freight box is being held for review? Ugh. That's why I asked a page ago if anyone knows who to call to inquire about these lost orders at customs. Anyone?

 

[MemeJunkie]

Just received my WTF/Wine & Cheese Value Set with the MemeMask. Thinking about doing a MemeBox giveaway for the WTF. Any bloggers that would be interested in blogging about it and I will send out the freebie at my expense? I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but for some it's a starter box...

@@MemeJunkie I would gladly take it off your hands /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
