Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

[ChullBird]

Holy hell, just tried the volcanic mask from Jeju, uh didn't notice it said heating on the container...thought my face was gonna fall off. Ouch!

Good to know. I just bought that and it will be arriving to me soonly. Hopefully it doesn't actually make my face fall off.

Random question: My Dirty Gal box isn't here yet  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> and the tracking is weird. It says: It hit the plane on 12/6. For Destination country (I'm in the US) it says: Preparing to dispatch or preparing shipment.

Is this normal? It's been on the same info for 6 days. 

Yes, that is normal /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> It's likely waiting to be processed through customs. My Dirty Gal box hasn't arrived yet either.

It's a bit late for discussion about the golden ticket code but on the reverse side of the coupon there is an information that: Coupons cannot be replaced if lost, stolen or deleted.

Interesting information.... did not know this 

 

[Saffyra]

Yeah, I wasn't pleased about the alcohol and the ginseng in the Hologram serum.  Up for swaps it went.  /sigh.  It's so PRETTY, though!!

 

[veritazy]

I have been LOVING me some Dr MJ lately!

Seems rather decent! Although I keep reading Dr. MJ as Dr Michael Jackson omg

 

 

[Saffyra]

AHC, shara shara and Dr. MJ all have the same parent company...  Think Meme made a deal with them lately? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Gah, think my Christmas boxes are doing a grand tour of Europe. Arrived in Frankfurt yesterday and now just been scanned in Belgium! No chance of it arriving today then and I'm out all day Monday so no idea when I'll get them now as thr DHL depot is miles away. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Why oh why has DHL decided to start updating my boxes as at East Midlands airport . Seriously it must be the tracking messing up again . As the boxes yesterday that arrived went back and to Germany 3 times in a day . Doesn't help me tracking parcels while at work . Anyone in uk having same issues still with DHL

Mine is supposed to be going to Edinburgh but has been in Frankfurt most of yesterday with the looks of it. Arrived Belgium (Brussels) at 9am. I would reckon the next stop would be East Midlands before boarding a flight to Edinburgh...then eventually get thrown into a van for delivery. Have little hope of it arriving today and don't think DHL deliver on a Sunday either.

no spoilers for Pumpkin / anniversary yet? Dying to see what's in those boxes....

It's a bit late for discussion about the golden ticket code but on the reverse side of the coupon there is an information that: Coupons cannot be replaced if lost, stolen or deleted. This one was shared actually so I think there is nothing to do. Now there can be 100 people claiming that they won and the coupon was stolen to them. It was a great misfortune but I don't think Memebox has any reason to cancel orders. Potentially the winner could share the coupon and change her/his mind (actually it looked like that)

Saying that someone who used any code and was using an affiliate link as well was using THIS code is not fair. There were many 3rd prizes (70$) codes people keep for themselves and use when they want.

This situation is very sad indeed but nothing was done against the law and the code was published voluntary. There is nothing Memebox can do.

You're 100% right Renata.

Is that the serum from the next best thing or brighten & correct?

Didn't know Dr Michael Jackson too! And Vivito is their premier makeup brand as well. I like Vivito alot, among all. I think they had a sweet deal and had to throw all the Shara2 into all the boxes -_- /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

no spoilers for Pumpkin / anniversary yet? Dying to see what's in those boxes....

I'm excited too...but I skipped pumpkin so will be getting it via snailmail. Question is dare I look if there is a spoler? *covers eyes*

 

[Alidolly]

I need to stay away from memebox site...had another look today at the remaining boxes and was drawn to #16 for the leg stuff as I've had double meniscus repair and get tired / achy legs so thought it might be nice and cooling. Any excuse eh?

Must..not..buy...oh my lips!

(On a happy note, My Little Box arrived from France! not exactly a Christmas box IMHO as collab box with Fleur de Fleur and seems to include the exact same gifts as the French version who had a different collab...guessing they didnt give the blogger any choice in things to include ....possibly like the CPM2 box lol!)

Still, its OK and would use all the items which is good.

 

[Fae]

I hope anniversary box spoilers pop up soon! ^^

In all fairness, I don't think people are stating that Memebox is legally obligated to get involved in this situation. And I think most of us are aware that there's a reasonable chance they won't get involved at all. But it would be the right thing for them to do. She didn't purposely share the code, she even covered the section where the code is printed with her finger, it just happened to also be printed on an obscure section of the ticket. Lots of people didn't even notice it. And a LOT of us would have done the same exact thing. A lot of people seem to be implying she just posted the code for the world to see. That's not the case at all. The sort of people that would go out of their way to use this code, are the last people that deserve to benefit from this situation. 

Everyone can claim they had the ticket, but she could show them photos of the ticket, which no one else really can. And knowing Memebox, they're aware of which box series the ticket went into.

As for submitting the order numbers of people that used a code. Obviously, Memebox can check this on their end and see which code was used. It's not as though it's a witch hunt to post people's names and shame them. I don't know how organized Memebox is about these things, and if it helped by sending order numbers for reference, so be it. But considering the timing, there is a far better chance that order was with the stolen 1st Place code. 

Memebox can do something. That doesn't mean they're legally obligated to. But I think most of us still really want them to come through for Tami on this one. And we definitely want those 50 orders with the "stolen" code to be canceled.

So anxious to hear if people think the anniversary box is any good, but going to attempt to avoid spoilers while my box comes to me snail mail. Anxious to see Pumpkin Pie though, I hope I end up regretting canceling it.....No orange makeup please  :lol:

@@MemeJunkie I am so in love with the Vivito products. I looked them up on GMarket to see what other items they had, and I was shocked to see that even the sale price for their lip products tend to be $20+ (even the lip balm pots were nearly $20 on sale). I'm really hoping we see more of their products in future boxes. It's nice to have new companies to be excited about. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I have 3 golden tickets codes. Do you know if I will be able to use all of them? They all have the same code... and it's written that you can use it only once.

People have mentioned only being able to use them once. I think it may be one ticket per account, or possibly one ticket per account per month.

I guess we'll find out in January.

(Seriously, what a silly way to do things!)

yes, it is very pretty.  I don't have issues with alcohol, but this might be a product that I just keep for "looks" and not use - haha

I cannot believe that a Shara Shara drugstore line (AHC) has a serum that is 90.00 - with denatured alcohol in it!!  no way.  I think people got excited over it because it is so pretty - I did too!  It is cool looking.  What a shame.  I would have rather had a nice 40.00 serum that was boring looking /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

You know what I found out?  Outside of the ISAO cleansing wipes, in the 4 boxes I received that had soon to be  expired products - all were shara shara owned.      I know I am like a dog with a bone on this product but I think that because it is so pretty  (the active gen serum) that the fact it might not be that great and the expiration date along with the high $$ is being ignored.

oh well.  I wrote it up in my blog, I have talked it to death on FB and that is the end of it for me!  haha

edited add, make that 8 items now. the snail cream in the christmas box 1 by shara shara expires one year from now /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
