Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

[Mahsa]

I am drowning in cleansers too every memebox I've got almost has had cleansers and they last months! I will use up my stuff but it's strange that I have so much stuff sometimes I wonder really how many years it will take to use up my stuff even if I do minimum buy for a while!

 

[TonyaBeans]

I want the old Benton set (steam cream instead of toner) with the cleanser. I really and truly don't need more cleansers but I really want to try this one. 

I have such Benton envy. I was so desperate. I had it in my cart and had to call my mom to ask how bad my worst reaction to a bee sting was. I definitely needed that to bring me back to earth.

I'm sensitive to ginseng, and when some of the ladies on here mention an amazing product from Memebox that has it in it...I keep trying to justify trying it. Like "well let's see how far down on the ingredients it is." Or "I wonder if diffferent types of ginseng affect me differently." 

(...Did I mention that I used a black raspberry eye cream that contained ginseng in it once and looked somewhat akin to a rabid zombie raccoon for weeks?)

I think we should form a support group.  :lol:

@@TheSilverNail You'll love the Lumpoule!!  They are expensive but that price is the (inflated)Memeprice for the entire set of however many.  Lots.  And it's been on sale for $80 something for awhile and seriously... if it weren't for lovely ladies trading with me... I'd have bought it already...  Even at that exorbitant price. >.<

For those of you looking for an update to the golden ticket thing, here it is: I've emailed memebox several times and I haven't recieved one response. It's been over a week since my first email. The restocks have started shipping. I'm assuming that they're not going to get back to me. I'm disappointed but I'm not angry. It WAS my mistake. Memebox held up their end of the ticket and provided 50 boxes for free and that is all that matters with them. Not everyone who used the code did it to take advantage, so I wouldn't like affiliates contacting meme about people they think used the codes. I got a message from a girl who used it because her friend had given it to her and she didn't know anything about it, and she tried to cancel her box but memebox wouldn't let her. The people who did take advantage, whatever. People are ******, that's life. I know better next time.

I'm not going to contact memebox about this anymore because the whole thing makes me sad and I want to forget about it. I love memebox and I will continue to buy their boxes until I have no more room for products /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'm happy that a majority on here were nice to me and didn't make me feel even more stupid. You're all lovely people /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

@@tamelthecamel I'm really sorry this happened to you

I've done the same thing with ginseng, and now I know in my head I'll say "Well, my reaction to it is just a bit of a burning sensation and mild redness, I don't look like a zombie raccoon. Maybe I should just try it". Same with citrus. I've heard such amazing reviews of the Hallabong serum that I don't even want to add it to my trade list because I haven't accepted the fact I should not use it. I'll join that support group for sure.

For those who are getting the Empress box....please read - I put it in the spoiler, but you should probably read it anyway

Spoiler

the daltokki facial scrub - memebox doesn't tell you this - the product website states to leave it on for 30 seconds or less and then rinse off.  My face was fricking burning because I thought it was similar to the skinfood rice mask and left it on for a minute or two.  I do not have sensitive skin.   I don't know if it will still burn at 30 seconds, but I will try tomorrow morning and let you know!

@@tamelthecamel I was really hoping they would make it up to you somehow. You are definitely handling it better than I would. Your fault or no, people took advantage of your mistake in a really crappy way. I know that for every person who took advantage though there was someone who was trying to look out for you and feels awful that this happened to you. I guess it is better to focus on the good people and not the dishonest ones. 

 

[ata123]

Yay for more Canadians! We're slowly and politely invading the board. I'm in Kitchener, so not super far from Toronto. 

Ohhhh, I used to be in Waterloo, in Toronto now /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[blinded]

@@tamelthecamel You are handling this way better than I would have. I think anyone who used the code, even if they didn't exactly know what was going on, should be reimbursing you the cost of the box they bought. Or buying a box and having it shipped to you. Trying to cancel it is great, but they can still make it up to you somehow.

Yess, I know! I have 20 backup cleansers now XD but I'm a hoarder, having a difficult time giving any away I want to try ALL OF THEM!!! Keep trying to justify why I need all of them, this one has rice and milk, that one is special because it's in solid form and melts makeup off, etc etc. 

 

[Bunbunny]

Ontario represent! I'm down past Kitchener, but still a drive away.

@@tamelthecamel you are an absolute darling. I seriously respect how diplomatic you've been about this entire situation. At the very least I hope Memebox sends you a free box or something.

I admire this. Instead of pursuing her own benefit, she gives out those free boxes to people (some nice and some not nice people). You're so generous! Your decision is very nice & charitable <3
Certainly handled this like a pro!

 

[Mahsa]

@@rubymoon, I don't think its her decision it's what she has had to accept after getting no help from memebox, and I doubt any of the people who took the code are nice except for the one who emailed her, and even then she didn't offer to reimburse her or anything...

 

[rubymoon]

I'm sorry if I came off the wrong way?

I just admire her ability to admit a mistake. And being able to generously letting it go, even if bad people are the ones getting what should've been hers. She held no grudge and chose to think positively of it, which I support.

She had the right to feel she's given those people a charity.

I've known people who constantly looking down on me and try to control my decisions (therefore taking my right to decide), and to hold no grudge and letting it go and be the bigger person is so very hard.

Good morning...I've got a question for you

Has anyone used the foot peeling mask from the Bath & Body 4 Spa Edition Box yet? I tried it a couple of weeks ago but it did nothing really apart from making my feet a bit raw (more than they usually are that is). Skin flaked a tiny little bit but could hardly tell. I soaked my feet before using the mask and in the days after but nothing really happened

I soaked my feet before using the mask and in the days after but nothing really happened

Now I've got the peeling mask from the Foot Therapy Box and wonder whether I should even bother...? I didn't like the chemical smell of the first mask I used and not sure whether the other mask is any different.

What did make my feet feel reallllllly soft though was using that incredible Tonimoly foot scrub and the file they sent!!!

Ugh yes I used that foot mask. You mean the one that is like a pair of wet socks, right? LOL

It did absolutely NOTHING for my feet. I think they got a little flaky for a day or so, but my skin did not peel at all. Considering it was supposed to be an expensive peeling mask...it was a major let down. My cheap $4-$5 peeling foot masks work 100 times better!

Weirdly enough some foot peels work great on me and some of them don't do anything. I'd give the Mizon one a try (that was the one from the foot box, yes?) as they're a great brand! I love the foot scrub and file from that box too. In fact, the whole box was a huge winner for me!
