Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

[cfisher]

@@MemeJunkie The whole Hair Salon is ridiculous to me. It was described as being part hair styling products, and customer service said it would be AT LEAST half hair styling products (when I specifically mentioned things like gels, hair sprays, etc).

Back then, I actually thought this meant something (big woopsie on my part). But I genuinely feel bad for those that spent so much money on this box expecting it to be what it states it will be.

I bought it because I started to doubt that it would contain hair styling products. So I'm happy with the products for myself, but they definitely aren't for all hair types.

Here's hoping this sort of stuff stops happening with the future boxes, after all these changes.

That hair mask is pretty spectacular.@@MissJexie

You are going to love the serum too

I picked up one of the holiday sets primarily to get a back up bottle of it.

But of course the holiday set arrived today and I got the Soap Berry cleanser instead

I am so happy you got your benton value set, @@MissJexie!!

What I'm curious about, now that I have three golden tickets bearing the same code, is whether we can only use the code once ever--even if we received multiple duplicate golden tickets. That seems kind of [really] lame, but maybe I'm misunderstanding the rules. I hope.

I personally think its unfair if they do that. Especially if you bought individual boxes in order to also get a golden ticket in each box. Each ticket should be considered an individual prize, therefore if you have 3 of the same code, it should able to be used 3 times. I know that isn' tpossibly to do, but they really should have done unique codes so that they could be.

I'm so excited to try the serum! I'm glad I'm not the only one digging the hair mask! I just used it as a conditioner today and still my hair feels so soft and smells amazing!

I am so happy you got your benton value set, @@MissJexie!! 

Ahh me too!! Thank you SOOO much @biancardi! <3 <3

I just got my Meme's Pouch restock from a while ago and I totally fell in love with the perfume in there (Marait). If anyone has one on their swap/sell list pleaseeee PM me!!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Also really happy with Dirty Gal + hair salon! I'm SO happy I decided to go for it and get hair salon. I'll use every product in both boxes! ^__^ My YET value set came in today too. Yay for good meme days in the midst of a horrible meme month.

I got the yet set too. Did u get two cherry blossom lip tint and no pearl paradaise? Seems like everyone is having that problem including me

Mhm. I thought there would be a styling product in it too- that's why I didn't buy it. I don't do much aside from straighten and I've always resented boxes from subs that gave me texture products, things to help curl hold, etc.

I really REALLY like the hair salon!! I would have been able to use all of the products. I am very happy for the people who did get it and Dirty Gal as well! Compared to some of the recent fails, they're amazing boxes! Although, I can understand why some people may not love the hair salon box.

@@cfisher - I specifically bought the box thinking/hoping it wouldn't have any styling products in it but that's because it's just not my thing. From what I've seen of Korean products, in the very short time I've been into them, it's all about moisturizing and even the local shops I frequent don't really showcase anything styling. It's odd to even find a hairspray among the many Repair/Moisturizing/Treatment shampoos, conditioners and hair packs. As I stated earlier, not a problem for me but see why it would be for so many others. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yes I mostly see serums/oils and leave in treatments which is mostly what I use for styling (not much into hairspray or gels) so that's why I think I really like Korean hair products. I'm sorry for those that wanted those styling products though!

I actually got the value set because everyone here is always raving about them and it was a great deal. I wish their products were more available, because I'm afraid I'm going to really like them.

@@avarier @@MemeJunkie @@had706 Part of me wonders if it's something to do with rules and regulation with shipping hair spray, because sometimes I'll seen ENTIRE hair care lines from Korea and the only thing I won't see is any sort of styling product. For example, Innisfree has a Camellia line that I love and I have no problem finding like 10 different hair treatments/shampoos/conditioners, but I know there's a couple of hair styling items (I think just hair sprays) and I NEVER see them online. No idea why. I definitely agree that they don't seem to be big on hair styling products, but back then I still thought Memebox tried to stick to their themes. 

I just hope in the future these sorts of silly things do't happen.

On a side note....Gwen just got back to me about my Pinkaholic box. She mentioned having to submit tons of requests and apparently her and Arthur arranged for it to be shipped expedited. Beyond generous of them since I said I had no problem just being refunded in points. But it definitely seemed quite clear that they're having a lot of trouble communicating things to Korea. 

But considering that the Pinkaholic was restocked then apparently sold out, and based on what she said about boxes...I'm thinking we have an upcoming restock. Quite possibly a large one.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Np. Should be fun to play with when I get mine.

I wonder if Lorna is getting a Saturday delivery since hers came to birmingham before heading her way

 

[Jane George]

Very odd my global went same day as my shop order and on same plane and my shop order arrived on 2nd and still no global

 

[veritazy]

I JUST tried the treatment/conditioner that is from the same line (from miracle masks) and I'm obsessed with it. OBSESSED. It smells amazing, made my hair smell amazing, and even though I have very weak, thin hair, it wasn't weighed down at all. I'm really excited to try out this new product now.

It's the orange one right? I used that as my conditioner /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Pretty smooth and moisturizing, though I defo need to blow dry to keep the volume. It's a good product tho. And you are right about the shampoos. I love em! (except Vedacell lol that one..) 

Cool. My DHL parcel which went on a European tour has just arrived

 Enjoy your box! I wished it went around Europe and landed at my place instead hehe /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I purposely didn't buy the hair box because they said it would contain styling products..

Then it was free of styling products and contained the exact things that were suitable for my hair type.

The only thing I love about Memebox right now is Lauren. She is like the beautiful, warm light at the end of a tunnel full of bull faeces.
