Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

[athy]

And the First Treatment Essence!  I remember that was the spoiler for the Office Essentials box and was the whole reason I bought it and then they didn't put it in!!  Now THAT made people grumpy.  Including me.  I want that magic. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I remember that too xD

They wouldn't do that again this time now.. Would they..? xD

Nah I'm not jynxing it! Go ahead and buy it LOL

cough cough

• Get exclusive VIP only discount promotion codes
• Get early access to new arrivals
• Get discounts on new arrivals
• Get priority on exclusive promotional deals

REALLY?  When was the last time we got those perks?  I don't care about the coupons - they totally suck.   But the above perks is what I really liked and I haven't seen those in a long time.

 

[blinded]

Okay, so I was just playing around with the XO items, and you have to pay shipping on each individual item? Since the code can't be used on sets/bundles that means you have to buy each one individually, but shipping on one eyeshadow is 6.99? Hahahaha!!!!! How is that possible?

ETA: International shipping on one mask is 6.99. And there's no free shipping over a certain amount in the global shop right? Wow. These coupons are terrible. 

 

[Saffyra]

And it's all about pushing shop products and Memebox brand. No $5 off $30 that we could use on a box, no $7 off when you buy 2 boxes. It's not better, it's worse. How can they think this is better.

Well, to be fair, the $5 off $30 are not VIP codes, they're available only through affiliates (of which there are many in this forum so they're always available to anyone on MuT).

But yes.  That is the crappiest set of "VIP" codes I've ever seen.  That $7 was a good one and they took it away.  Probably because there's no boxes.  And no 20% off because there's nothing to buy...  Maybe they *are* self aware...

Wait, so, there's no VIP discounts on boxes for December? O.O what is this madness...

 

[Tracy E. Robey]

This seems like a progressive weakening of the VIP program to the point that when it ultimately disappears nobody will care. The VIP box pages on the Memebox site (in terms of the backend organization) are now stored in same section as dusty things like my empty haul of fame page. ahahah This could be just to keep it out of the way, but the page looks pretty much retired at this point. And why would Memebox do VIP pre-sales? Boxes sell out quickly with no codes and discounts, not even bundles. The company's has proven not to really be swayed by customers' demands/pleas, even when responding to them would be in their own interest. As long as they release few boxes I think they can get away with this.

That doesn't mean I'm happy about it. ahhaaha

I'm decently happy I got them hahaha

Funnily enough the mirror came when I wanted to buy one, although I'm not sure about the shape of it..

Christmas boxes spoilers are available on Facebook. I am not sad I missed out on box 1. It's not terrible or anything, it's just meh to me.

I was getting annoyed at Memebox for the lack of communication and the lack of boxes. Now is the first time I am really pissed - at them and at myself. I did everything to make VIP because of the points you got, the early access on boxes and because of the codes. This month we get nothing useful. It's almost a shame I waited for this mail.

They want to slowly but surely take down the program and judging by the codes we got, despite what they are saying, to me they are going to slowly take the boxes away.

Sorry for the rant but I needed to vent.

I'm actually a lot more happy with the makeup box and I didn't even want that one /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

AHHAAHAH I didn't see that--I posted photos in a new Christmas box thread: https://www.makeuptalk.com/f/topic/135261-christmas-boxes-spoilers/ LOL

I'm pleased with these. I like the makeup box more than the skincare waaaah!

same! I see the girls complaining about the purple eyeliner, and I'm just thinking... "Purple eyeliner sounds so interesting to me, I can't wait to try it out" XD

Spoiler

Yeah, I'm kind of thinking "do we need another black eyeliner then"??? The only other color I could see for this box would be silver, but anything less than buttery quality in silver looks like trash, so purple is welcome. Even burgundy moist sparkly shadow is welcome--burgundy is pretty popular, at least for kpop boys (and who else would I take makeup cues from?). I kind of dig the way the curation theme worked out--I'd rather see attempts to go for it than a box that had zilch to do with holiday stuff.

edit: fixed quoted spoiler

Christmas Box stuff:

Spoiler

I'm really happy for the purple eyeliner. Purple is a great colour match for my eyes so I hope it will work well.

I do find it interesting that people are complaining that the skincare box isn't Christmas enough, but then they don't like the red/green nail polish combo in the makeup box. Memebox just can't win /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

very true, i don't like the red green nail polish and i didn't expect the christmas things to be very christmassy xD

thank goodness as well - christmas colours just aren't nice, haha.

 

[Tracy E. Robey]

@fanserviced end your spoiler tag too!  

bahahahaah we still have 2 hours until whatever memebox is doing and I'm already a mess. I should probably just give up and sleep. ahahaha

Meme-K makes nail polish. ha No doubt this will pop up at some point.

Meme-K has also done something interesting--they've made the otherwise copyable text on their pages locked so you can't copy and paste it. ahahahah Is this WHOLE thing a plot to get a bunch of beauty fans to learn Korean? In reality you can still copy and paste; you just have to view the page source. Try protecting that, Memebox.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

When I read that, my heart skipped a beat. Then I saw what was in it. Meeh. But hey, it's a box and at least they restocked something.
