Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

[biancardi]

What the H-E-double hockey sticks is up with that new vlogger collab person?

Have they finally lost their ever-lovin minds??

Just ... WOW.

yes.  And they will defend their collab choices to the bitter end.

They can't mess up a mask box...surely? If they do, then final nail and all that. Hope its a good one for all that have purchased. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I thought the miracle masks box was totally messed up.  But Wish Upon a Mask looks great.

Just ... WOW.

Scary isn't she...and she never buys online cosmetics. Hardly the best person to promote their products IMHO but hey, she's got loads of followers and probably got a whole lot of freebies by doing the collab so she'll be happy.

 

[cfisher]

yes, they are a pale reflection of what they should have been...they aren't horrid, they just don't have that "it" quality.

so much for the quality over quantity!!

Whenever people on Memebox Addicts are like "But seriously guys, cut Memebox some slack, they're trying to focus on quality from now on" I burst into laughter.

Every. Single. Time. 

The day I found out I won the Jackpot box, was the day I snatched up the Oriental Medicine, Whole Grain and Milk restocks. (With 5 points back for each purchase at that!) 

Whenever someone mentions the Jackpot box, my mind immediately goes to those boxes and all the precious beauties they contained.

Ah. I miss those days.

I stopped defending memebox a while ago. Tbh they are a company that seems in a slump, they are not my friend.

 

[Jane George]

As for the sets for us only.. They really are a hot mess

I won't defend them as a whole, ever.

And seriously...Jane, we need to get them to do Milk #2 and Crazy Critters.

  :lol:   :lol:   :lol:

 

[Jane George]

I have asked for crazy critters, milk 2 and a happy hour among others. Do I believe they will make them?

No, but I could be surprised.

@@biancardi But her presentation is indefensible. I don't begin to understand what I even saw there. Totally bizarre.

@@Alidolly Yeah, she is. I don't want to tear this woman down, but honestly WHY WHY WHY? They're having a round table discussion at Memebox headquarters and they're all sitting around nodding in agreement that she is the best choice (from the whole internet) to partner with?

Really makes me wonder what other crazy/weird **** we're in for.

 

[Jane George]

Would love the korean classic box too with products that are korean legends... They must be out there

Products passed from one generation to the next.

@@Jane George Sometimes I just wish they would let us vote for box themes that are submitted as suggestions. ...Imagine....

@@BlackMagwitch Their collab thing is hilarious to me. I want to know how they do it. But part of me wonders how many people are even involved. Like does that guy everyone keeps mocking just go onto Youtube and look at the most popular Youtubers and just pick whoever is even remotely into makeup, and just email each of them to see who will bite? 

 

[Jane George]

@@cfisher I imagine that it would become a popularity contest then with lots of people tweeting and spamming to vote for them lol

that horrid 89.00 serum with the shortened shelf life in the next best thing in skincare with its denat alcohol was one of the bitter arguments I had over there.

I won't even put it on my trade list, that is how strongly I feel

I took a look at his Twitter just for funsies, and I saw him reach out to someone (a writer/blogger who works at XOJane & other places) with a "very interested in talking to you about collaborating" or some such thing.  So yeah, I think that's exactly what happens.

oh I agree totally.

I am like WTF?  Memebox, your last collab was with Soothing Sista, who was really good. 

I find this ytuber to be nothing more than  performance art.   She might have some really good reviews and insights, but I cannot get past her antics.

@@biancardi Since a serum is there to add moisture and nutrients for me I can't imagine alcohol being great in there... Would dry my skin something chronic.

I know.  Any serum that is holographic is suspect to me - lol.  But all anyone had to do was swatch it.  All I smelled was alcohol and I was taken aback.

Someone tried to compare this with Benton's Snail Bee Essence for the shorted shelf life - like how they were made with really great ingredients and natural ones - err, no.

 

[cfisher]

@@Jane George I hadn't even thought of that, honestly. But you're right, and they wouldn't even care how meh or bad their suggestion was. We could end up with another CP2. Yikes.

@@biancardi That serum really bothers me. I'm not liking the way some things are heading. The serum has great packaging, but that is the one thing it has going for it. And that's the "wow" product from the box, Yikes....And denatured alcohol...In a serum? Er. That's one step below toner. 

@@moosie Oh my god. I just laughed so hard I started choking on a gummy bear. ....I realize I'm out of touch with social media, especially for a 20 something year old....But this is a thing? I can't stop laughing.....Seriously? 

This explains so much. 

 

[Bunbunny]

Those USA gift sets are actually laughable. They have the Tony Moly Bunny Gloss valued at 9 dollars. It's 3 dollars on TesterKorea. It's 6 dollars at the TM in New York. If they seriously think they can inflate prices higher than NY-freakin-C, they've completely lost their minds.

Edit: Extending an offer to someone via Twitter is so unprofessional. I can't believe this company sometimes...

TBH it's giving me some second-hand embarrassment.  I'm sort of cringing right now.  I am not the most social media savvy person either, but... this just seems so low-rent!
