I am intrigued about who might have done this. I'm not in the group on facebook so I don't know what the people are like. There aren't many options for choosing boxes so I'm wondering if 50 people individually stole her code or 1 person did something like order 50 luckyboxes. The latter came to mind because with that much excess product, they could re-sell it on ebay or something for profit.

The greed of people is incredible.

I would not have been sweet about it if it had happened to me. I really wish memebox would do something to investigate or help her out.
I hope memebox does as well.. 

there are people out there that are craven, imho.

The group it was posted in has over 1000 members and I would say maybe 90% are not active posters, so who knows what those 900 people are like...

The code appears to have been used by multiple people as I have seen other people report super low commissions on boxes apart from CFisher. The code also only took off $30 per order so the person would have had to make 50 orders.

When the code was first posted there was only the CPM box for sale. The code was definitely still active when the restocks came around a day or so later.

Well, it looks like I won't be getting my last bundle at all. I've gotten a payment from Memebox because their system is messed up, and it still doesn't show that they have my funds (so I can't get a true refund). That was my last set of boxes. Womp womp.

I was amazed by the prices on the Skin Food items in the shop. That is some Urban Outfitters level markup, Memebox, but without the faux-hipster cred. Goodness gracious. When I saw the link in the email, I was hoping for some of the harder to find items from the brand, but it looks like the basics at about a 300% price increase. There are even sellers on Amazon prime with lower prices. Heh.

In other news, my second Benton bundle had the soapberry cleanser in it that everyone seems to love. I've never tried it, so I'm happy to have that. What do people like about it? Scent? Foam?

 
Wonder Woman Spoiler on Instagram!

If anyone wants to check it out it's one of the most recent #memebox posts.

It's a better than I expected. I had pretty low expectations for it.

There is actually 2 products that look really good to me.

Sorry can't post it. :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
Well, wasn't going to look at Cleo/Empress spoilers since my bundle was supposed to arrive today, but it took a side trip here in the US and won't be here 'til tomorrow at the earliest.  No big deal and not surprising this time of year.  So spoilers, here I come.

After this, my last Memebundle, I'm done with them unless a bunch of new, good boxes come up.  As one other poster explained so eloquently, they are not my "friend," they are a business and not one I particularly like lately.  Other businesses have Korean products and collections.

 
I love ampoules and essences. I wouldn't have minded that

Benenet ampoule
from Wonder woman box.

I think i might have had my first Memepackage get lost in the mail.  My tracking says it got on a plane on November 28th.  

And there have been no updates since o_O  

Surely it doesn't take a plane 18 days to arrive...
 I have the same thing! My Tea Tree is missing after boarding a plane on the 28th. No tracking updates since.

 
Well, looking at the 12 days thing...they released 2 boxes the first day..then a box 2 days later...if they go with that trend we "may" (and I use that term very loosely) get a box release today. If not, it'll be more of their products which I am so not interested in. I've been debating whether to chance lucky box #12 but really don't want another appletox / Revecen or clover lip balm. Just would be nice to have a box arrive in January ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Ok...I caved and got it. Last box of the year perhaps and since #11 had the Revecen and Hallabong, I should be ok and not get those at least ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

General first impressions about Cleo/Empress/Wonder Woman

Pleasantly surprised by Wonder Woman.  I'm excited to use the Clio eyeliner and ampoule.  Hope the concealer works for me, I really need to get a good product for this in my line up. 
Empress' Secrets: meh!  There will be many repeats for some people (they aren't for me, since I didn't buy tea tree, elixers or empties)  I'm excited to try the lumpoule since it seems to get many good reviews.  Not sure about the scrub.  I'm not sure about facial scrubs in general... Maybe I'm saturated in products but this box didn't excite me right off the bat.
Cleopatra: I feel like they kind of dropped the ball on this one?  Or maybe I feel that way because it's not the products or types of products I was thinking we'd see.  I know a lot of people didn't want one, but I was secretly hoping for a black eyeliner :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  The goat milk cream looks nice though.

I'm waiting until today's surprise, if they release a new box I will buy it, if not I will buy the LB #12.

 
I have no willpower. I was just going to post that I wanted to avoid Wonder Woman spoilers so I could be surprised when I got my box, but I totally just looked at all of your posts with the spoilers in them. :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

 
@@mollybb I know the feeling :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  When the Skinfood/TFS bundle shipped, I avoided the board until I got my package so I could experience it spoiler-free.  I always spoil my RM packages... I don't like it but I've come to terms with it.   At least I hid my comments?!

Oh it was my own fault, everything was under spoilers but I had to look! I'm really happy with the box and mine shipped standard so I have plenty of time to forget all about it before it arrives!

 
I'm feeling a little done with Memebox right now. I totally understand that the boxes are surprises as far as the content goes, but I'm really disappointed that the images, themes, and descriptions are stretches at best. The price of the Aromawiz bath bomb is insane, and I just read about the 1st place winner getting jacked for her points as well as the newest vlogger collaboration. It's all such a bummer. I really do hope Memebox can find a way to cancel any orders using whatever code the winner got. 

Sorry that was so negative. I have been plenty happy in the past; just feeling a little over it I suppose. At the end of the day it's just a business and there are plenty of other companies to give my money to, lol.
