Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

[crazysweet]

Just got my Next Best Thing box... FINALLY. The green tea seed balm doesn't smell rancid. It smells like lime, then vegetable oil...

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" />

At least he uses separate shampoo and soap. My husband uses whatever body wash I happen to have in the shower for everything. He figures since he's partially bald there is no reason to use shampoo. One product will do it all.

Not long now until the empress and wonder boxes spoil

Has anyone else had issues with products in the Tinkerbell box? I just received mine and the Clavi-S-Cream was pretty much empty and my Mizon Oh!Shy highlighter separated into some clear oily liquid and pink gunk that I wouldn't let my worst enemy put on their face. Of course it happens to two out of the three items I bought the box for.

I'm so sad. How am I going to glitter up my little girl for her dance competitions now??

Got my Benton gift set today and my "free gift" was more of the BOCIANS Cycle Repair Whitening Spot I got back in Luckybox #9 (or I guess it was in Fermented #2). Has anyone had any luck with this stuff for anything? I used it for a week or so and nothing happened so I tossed it in a box to maybe use later. And now I have more. Yay.

Oh, also, do you wash off the Benton Steam Cream after putting it on, or is it just in place of moisturizer or something?

sadly, mine is rancid and I will be sending Memebox an email on this. It's gross =/

It's a moisturizer! Some find it a bit heavier and use it as a night cream.

I took a whiff again of the one I got and can only smell the oil- no lime. Otherwise nothing weird- no funky furry stuff growing on it, no weird separation, no rancid smell.  But after hearing about all the bad tins others have gotten, I don't know whether I should still go ahead and use it maybe on my feet (definitely not going anywhere near my face) or just pitch it. I hate throwing away full products but I'm thinking I should just chuck it to avoid any future headaches.  Would you guys still use it despite no obvious signs that the product has gone bad?

I'm using mine on my feet. I wouldn't use a balm like this on my face even if it wasn't questionable. Mine has a faint lime smell and doesn't smell rancid so I'm not worried about using it.

So, my last box is on my way to me (Anniversary). Man, I feel so Memeempty now, especially about because that last box is such a dud.

And who knows how long it will take until I get another box from them? I guess it won't be until they begin releasing new themed boxes (Venom I'm looking at you /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />) and not until they get their act together and start CURATING the damn boxes.

@@blinded Thanks for the advice! I was wondering how anyone could use such a heavy oily and waxy balm on their faces as a sleeping pack as was suggested in the description.  I will do the same and use it on my feet until i see furry stuff stuff growing on it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I don't think I'll be using it anywhere near my face despite it smelling ok. It has that canola oil smell which leaves my mouth feeling greasy after smelling it. So I think I'll be using it on my feet and hands just not to waste it.

The Mizon feet cream from While You Were Sleeping is quite good! It absorbs quickly so it doesn't leave that oily greasy feeling that most lotions does. I find it quite moisturizing too! I love it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> So glad I have two tubes of it.

I got my Next Big Thing box today.  I was curious about people saying the Shara Shara Green Tea Seed Magic Balm smelling off, so I tried some on the back of my hands.  My Memebox-loving daughter came over to sniff me and said I smelled stinky! STINKY!!!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

LOL! Love, love, love how younger kids don't mince words and tell you exactly what they are thinking /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Exactly why I never ask my toddler if my bum looks big....

@  LOL!  Out of the mouth of babes...   I don't think I've ever thrown away a skincare product so quickly or with so much conviction! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

@@Jane George  Hehe... I don't think anyone's ego could withstand the brutal honesty of a small child.  

Well, the Shara Shara was a complete failure, but the Blithe Patting Water more than makes up for it!   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
