Morning ladies (from canada). I was wondering, do you use mists as toners or is that bad? In addition, do you use spot treatments before or after creams? Thanks in advance! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Heyyy /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I don't use plain mist as toner but I do mix my Blithe patting water (yes, this, again) and use it as the first layer after I cleanse. And then I'd layer other stuff onto my face like spot treatment and a gel/lighter moisturizer and thats it. I have normal skin type and occasional bleh during...er...'those times'. 

Yea, me too! It should've been gone for ages ago! Iknow.. I haven't find anyone to sell/swap with. Everyone wants to sell to england or us only.. Sucks having high postage fees in eu. If you're looking to swap , then I'm interested. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

pm-ed! I hope we have different interests and lots to swap~

Yes! Also Isa Knox, History of Whoo, Sooryehan. They have a ton of great brands.

Would love Meme to start having a "deal" with them. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

That's interesting!! I can buy cosmetics from LG and samsung and my boyfriend can buy electronics!

 

[catyz]

thanks @@Theblondeangel, & @@veritazy, I guess I'll just use it after my cream and such for the mists. I just have waay too many of them and not enough toners, lol.

@@Krystyn Lowe @@LisaLeah uuuuu those are some lux, lux brands! I have been wishing Memebox would get some from those companies but I guess they didn't succeed...And sulwhasoo is my mum's fav. She looks like she's 30 lol. 

And btw, I did see some Hera stuff on their Korean site. Wonder when it will be our turn to get those brands. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

They're a fairly large cosmetics maker too, which is weird! I mean they made my tv, lol!

Oh, wow.

I was wondering why all the ProYou stuff had SUCH a high retail value, especially considering how blah their packaging is.

It's a Samsung brand....NOW I know why. This explains why we get so much of their stuff. 

@@sayswhoo If you ever want to swap away anything mango, I'm your gal! I haven't opened any of my Mangchee products, so also curious if there is a strong mango smell. Has anyone used any of the Mangchee items yet? I don't dare open mine because I have so much stuff open.

I actually studied this in marketing a few years ago. There is a difference in cultures. In Asian countries you see lots of large companies with their logos on everything. People trust the parent brand so putting their logo on it helps sales. In Europe and NA it's really different. People don't like when brands cross markets and their sales are weaker. Consumers like their brands to be specialized, they see it as a better quality product. You can kinda see it in some of the comments here (what does an electronics company know about skin care /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> ). That's why here we have massive companies with hundreds of sub brands. For example Dove, Axe and Slim Fast are all owned by the same company, but their messages to sell the products differ drastically.

That's super interesting! I bet it has something to do with collectivism (Asia) vs individualism (Europe/North America). Collectivist cultures value the good of the group whereas individualistic cultures value individual accomplishments. Both views make complete sense, but it's all about the first impressions, eh?

The ProYou essence has been fabulous, though. I am so down with Samsung skincare if all their products make my skin soft like this.

 

[Krystyn Lowe]

I don't know if I want to look at pumpkin/anniversary spoilers! Mine are snail as ordered separately! Ugh, I know I'll cave!!

 

[Jane George]

I wouldn't mind pumpkin but an I I cancelled and not upset

 

[MemeJunkie]

Anyone know why Samsung is labelled on the back of Pro You Magic Silky Skin Essence from Skincare elixir box? Pretty interesting...

Spoiler

Spoiler

Did this Essence leak all over anyone else's Skincare Elixirs box? My box was a MESS!

I've used the hand cream and although it has a light mango scent initially it certainly doesn't linger long past application. But it certainly carries a fruit scent. I'm not a fan of fruity at all and yet I don't mind this one and would even trade for another. It's not greasy and makes a great day cream as opposed to Skinfood Cacao Hand Balm from Chocolate Mania that even my dry as bones hands can only use at night.

Anniversary box spoilers on /r/memebox (www.reddit.com/r/memebox)

 

[Alidolly]

So, next set of boxes to be sent out will be Empress Secret / Cleopatra / Wonder Women on the 16/12? I've got empress coming snail mail. Not sure about this one now...not optimistic. Ditto Garden of Eden...have a feeling I'm going to be disappointed. Hoping I'm wrong though...

Am looking forward to some of the restocks arriving at my house especially Very Berry /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[OiiO]

I did swatches with them...They are fast drying and they are thinner (I am used to indie nailpolishes which are thicker), but because they dry fast, it is easy to apply multiple coats.  They are very pretty festive colors.  I did some research on the brand and whereas I didn't find a shop that sells them only - as they are drug store type - bloggers were very happy with these polishes - and said they were long wearing.

Not my colors, but they are definitely Christmassy!

I'm nervous and excited for the empress's secret and wonder woman spoilers it's quite fun!

Did you see the Pumpkin Pie and Anniversary spoilers? I know you were waiting for them. 

 

[Mahsa]

I saw them, I actually didn't order them, my next boxes are the empres and wonder - as I've always said I dont like to comment on boxes I havnt ordered, but pumpkin I would be ok with for the price and there is a pumpkin item included but the anniversary box was a bit meh - especially as a lot of people thought it was going to have to be epic! @@cfisher
