Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

[Gillian Kirby]

Finally got my Wine and Cheese! How are people finding the Mangchee mask? Is it basically a night cream?

 

[biancardi]

I'm not either. I mean, I'm a little bummed....but they haven't been putting out any boxes I've been interested in (and that's okay!). Some kind of statement or something would be really nice. I would much rather see quality over quantity so that we can avoid the CPM2 debacle again. Maybe we'll see less cheekroom/hopegirl/sharashara stuff?

P.S. I know some of you like shara shara, but it's been overkill.

hahahaha

I know, I sometimes come off as a shara shara cheerleader for their skincare (not makeup) items, because I think that people are just sick of their makeup and the skincare line gets swept up with that loathing!  It isn't that bad of a skincare line (just like every product line, there will be stuff that works and stuff that doesn't)

I would rather have other items besides shara shara as well /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />   Trust me, I do want other product lines in here.

yes, that is a night cream.

 

[Jane George]

Lol I might try it as a day cream. Oh it's a sleeping mask.

Mm not too sticky and smells divine

 

[biancardi]

Lol I might try it as a day cream

haha  That is cause you got really dry skin!!  It is advertised as a night cream but if someone has really dry skin, it would work as a day cream, maybe...

 

[Jane George]

I might try it over my night cream. Just tried it on my hand. Smells is amazing and not sticky

Everything they make can't be bad, they're still in business. I did actually like the lip scrub that came in mcw3 (i think it was 3).

In the future, I hope there's more Skin1004 (Hello zombie pack!), LJH, and Skin House. I haven't tried a single dud from any of those brands.

Also, I'm really surprised meme hasn't  jumped on the starfish band wagon yet.

 

[ChullBird]

I use night creams in the day all the time. Sometimes day time moisturizers just don't do it for me.

 

[biancardi]

I would love more LJH items.   And I hope that the unnie's receipe company makes more items, because I really enjoy their products too

 

[Alidolly]

Well, one of my Shara Shara lipsticks arrived (of the colour change variety) - yellow to mango and its a bright orange so appears ok..

Now to wait for the other one and hope that's the same as do not want a brown sludge one! Out of curiosity, did anyone get a response from Memebox about that?

New to MUT and Memebox, and skincare in general really.  I've been lurking for a while and reading many of your blogs.

This article below was posted in October.  Looks like, at least just a few months ago, there didn't seem to be a major overhaul planned.  Sounds like all of your blogs are the mainstay of Memebox's advertisment scheme.  So blog away!  Hopefully Memebox will try to keep you happy to keep business going!  If it's boxes that get you blogging instead of private labels and memeshop, let the world know!

"Ha’s secret sauce in his recipe for growth isn’t the usual combination of Facebook marketing and Google ads. In fact, Ha tells Tech in Asia that the company only spent US$140 on SEO for the entire month of September. Instead, he has relied solely on endorsements from women (and men) who blog about beauty.

Ha draws no distinction between writers, YouTubers, Facebook figures and actual celebrities – in his eyes, they’re all trusted by consumers. “For eight hours, I would be messaging them one by one,” he said, describing how much value Memebox places on these relationships. For him, the endorsement of a influential popular blogger from Iowa is worth far more than a Google AdWords campaign.

Influencers are going to be an even greater part of the Memebox revenue model going forward. “We have a saying in this company that Youtube is the new Hollywood. Let’s not spend our money on celebrities, these people will be the new celebrities,” Ha says.

To capitalize on that celebrity, the company is adding a revenue vertical of private labels to its existing variety box and straight ecommerce money makers. A private label is built around an influencer so it becomes identified with that individual more than Memebox itself.

Social media influencers have been so pivotal to Memebox’s success that it’s turning them into a new revenue channel. In Korea, the company has introduced white label beauty boxes – Memebox pins the name of a popular blogger on one of its beauty boxes and ships it out to his or her fans.

Memebox’s white label beauty box pilot resulted in 20,000 items sold in just 40 minutes. Revenue that day hit US$400,000. Preparations are currently underway for a similar event using American influencers.

@@ChullBird Is there a brand other than Mizon that does starfish products?

I do agree about Shara Shara, we were bombarded with their makeup for quite some time before they even started to include skincare. They have some great skincare, and I do hope we get some of their better stuff in the future. 

But, I definitely would like some new brands. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

UPS is SUCH a tease, my bundle if C&T/ Pouch got delayed til tomorrow. Bummer.

I got a UPS notification today saying my bundle is going to be delivered tomorrow, so hopefully you get yours so I can see some spoilers! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I think that when I've done some research on past products, they had a lot of acne triggers for me, so now whenever I see shara shara I immediately toss it aside, which is probably unfair as some of their products are probably good- I just feel like I have way too many super amazing things to risk using something that might negatively effect my skin.

Although I may not need many memeboxes in the future considering the Benton Essence  and steam cream are working so amazingly well on my skin I'm wondering why I will ever need another essence/cream for the rest of my life lol

I thought I saw one (and I can't remember what it was) on BNK a while back, but I can't find it now. Perhaps it is just Mizon who's doing the starfish cream right now.

I haven't tried it yet (just bought some though!), but it is ALL THE RAGE on reddit AB. It's actually the first time I've ever tried anything by Mizon because I can never find their ingredients listed, and that makes me unhappy.

 

[Fae]

How long did you ladies use the benton essence for, until you saw improvements? ^^

 

[ChullBird]

Also...just noting that I'm posting this from my couch whilst wearing a sheet mask. Speaking of sheet masks, purederm makes fantastic masks!

 

[marjojojoleintje]

When will we get new boxes or will we have to buy the cutiepie box forever?

 

[Jane George]

Our great grandchildren will be buying cpm2 lol

 

[ChullBird]

AHHHHH! I thought the CPM2 sold out?

There's still at least 16. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
