Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

[MemeJunkie]

Oh another product recommendation!

I forget which box it came in, but the Hanhui CC Cream. I cannot believe I waited so long to put this stuff on my face.

It's like I'm applying a second skin. Perfect color match, perfect amount of coverage, and when it's on it doesn't look like I'm wearing anything on my face at all.

LOVE

LOVE this! Tried only one BB Cream since discovering Korean skincare and I think this stuff is AMAZING! Sadly, I don't think I've ever seen it on a trade list.

I'm planning on repurposing some of my memeboxes as gift boxes this year, I hope some of you are planning on doing the same /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I am using them to contain lots of small things.  It's been SO fun to "curate" my own boxes even if they aren't exclusively beauty.  These boxes are the perfect size (and I already have a zillion of various sizes in my house so....)

I did a secret santa swap in a different group that I'm a part of and used a memebox and it turned out SO CUTE!  I had a big sticker over the front "memebox" logo, used washi tape on the edges to cover up any text, glued a thing on the inside over the paragraphs of text and used more silver washi tape.  It was really minimal effort for a very cute presentation.  I can't wait for her to get it!

Not only are all the women in my family receiving a sampling of Korean skincare this year....I've also been using the boxes to wrap gifts. I doesn't bother me that they say Memebox all over them, let them all wonder. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

bite yer tongue!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />   I am refusing to believe that we would get another red appletox. Maybe green

But...I am still holding out hope that they will put some pomegranate items in there, because that was supposed to be the "apple" that eve gave to adam /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Are you for real girl?!?! Do you really think Memebox knows that? They put lemon in our Pumpkin box! Thank you for making me chuckle, I needed that after my **** day. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

@@MemeJunkie I don't know that I'll worry about covering up the logos for my personal gift giving, but since the secret santa swap was related to a different brand, I decorated it to match that brand.  Turned out so cute /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

ah, yes, I can be an optimist, which goes against my nature - lol.  When I was little, I would stay up til midnight on Christmas Eve (now Christmas morning) to see if my cats would talk to me (outside of mews...) 

I did this for several years.  haha  So it must be that hidden part of me that still holds out hope that memebox did their homework /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Everyone has always told me I'm an optimist.

I assumed this was true.

Until I became a Memeboxer.

Now I have to question everything I thought I once knew. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Hahaha

Lately it seems like anything that is "obvious" should be pushed right out of our minds to avoid inevitable disappointment. 

Okay...What is everyone thinking will be Empress and Cleo?

I'd like a wee bit of hope to cling to.  :wub:

 

[BlackMagicRose]

That's exactly what happened to me! LOL

I just pulled it out the other day because the CC cream I was currently using ran out. And I felt SO sad that I've spent months using the other CC cream and not this one! haha /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

It's amazing all the goodies I discover when I start digging around in my memebox hauls ;D

I actually did go and use it when I went to get ready today. I was really skeptical because it was basically white with little specks in it, but it color matched my pale skin perfectly and covered well enough to even out my skin tone! I don't have acne-prone skin but I definitely have some redness in my cheeks, and this cc did a really good job of covering up the red. It looks like how my skin would look but without the little imperfections. I'm not a fan of the scent, but it's not long-lasting enough to bother me. Overall, I actually like it a lot, especially for days when I don't feel like doing full foundation! Thanks for reminding me to try this product! I'm sure I have many more products just sitting there that I will end up liking when I actually have the chance to try them haha.

kinda like having a product that has the word MOJITO on it for the Apple MOJITO box, huh?  hahaha

now that is just meme-mindgames!

I gave that toner to my husband and have recently released that if I want to use up some products quickly...give them to this man! Now if only I could convince him to moisturize, I've got a bucket load of that stuff. LOL

 

[cfisher]

@@MemeJunkie I can't help but laugh at the fact that he will use toner, but refuses to use moisturizer.

Am I the only one baffled by this? I would think it would be the other way around.

Oooh, I just won a cacao pack from a sampling event!  Yay!  I'm having issues with a Memeshop order completely disappearing (and have opened a Paypal dispute because of Meme's lack of response) so this feels like a nice balance to that. 

It's the Theobroma Premium Cacao pack.

Ooooh. Congratulations! I love it when the MUT ladies win something.  :wub:   :wub:   :wub:

Pretty great win, at that!

Thank you!  That's the one I really hoped I'd win (although I would be happy with ANY win). 

I love when MUT ladies win, too. :wub: B)

My husband's idea of cleansing is Dove bar soap/shower gel (in the shower) so toner is his 'night' cleanser. Seriously. I've started slipping good stuff in the shower from the boxes that he's not terribly happy about but he's using it. Next step, moisturizer. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

You know what the lack of Memeboxes has made me do twice this week? Buy something from the 12 Days of Christmas from Julep. Seriously. Julep has terrible customer service and I swore I was done with them forever but they sucked me in twice with free products w/any purchase. So of all things to buy, I bought the trio of hand/foot/nail masks from them, twice. I'm buying types of products I discovered because of memebox from Julep. That's just wrong.

oh, for a variety of reasons?  lol.  I still haven't gotten a response from them.  I got the auto reply about them being business

 

[Butterflylion]

Four points is poor but better than nothing, keeping messaging them, they knew a batch had gone funny not in a good way, my magic balm was gritty and very odd smelling.

My bf also uses his Dove bar as his face routine. Says it's an all-in-one body AND face wash -_- /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> He doesn't "need" a box of things LOL

He bought shampoo the other day and I asked what it was for.. you know, frizz control, volume, etc, because it looked odd. He stared at me for a moment and said "I don't know. I just liked the smell. The blue on the bottle is a nice color."

Oh, MEN!!! I'm about to start putting all my memebox things to use on him just because I can /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Lol I used to give my bf my shampoo samples and one time he asked me to buy him one because he really liked how his hair looked after using it. It was Bumble and Bumble. Now he loves using higher-end products because he likes them better haha.
