Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

[cfisher]

@ I have to agree about pricing. I think people forget there is NOWHERE to get these brands at a respectable price in the US. And I can't blame them for not wanting to compete against themselves. Tons of these brands want to test the market and see how well they do, surely come of them may open stores in the US.

But more importantly...What are the other products in the Hallabong line?! So far we have the sunscreen, the toner and the serum. What else do we have to look forward to?!

Must. Collect. Them. All. 

 

[Fae]

the hallabong line is lovely! I have the toner & I love it! Would love to see more of the brand! ^^

Well, they may sell The Yeon stuff in the US memestore but not sure about boxes as they will still be sent from South Korea won't they...at least the global ones will anyway.

Received the The Yeon sherbet orange from TesterKorea and its got the same fantastic smell as the serum - though haven't tried it in any depth yet (other than putting a wee bit on the back of my hand).

Will be ages before they open any Korean branded stores in the UK no doubt (and even then, it'll be down in London only initially - which may as well be the other side of the world for all I have access to that!). Still, we can dream...

Here's the Reddit thread about it. It's in Flushing where the old Face Shop used to be located--one block over from Roosevelt.

I'm hoping that The Yeon's US advance means more of their Hallabong line in Memeboxes. WANT.

Thank you!!!

And yes, I hope that means much more Hallabong in Memeboxes.

On a side note, I tried the Cleomee Donkey Milk / Oil face masks from the Memeshop last night.

It was AMAZING!

I highly reco them for anyone who needs mega moisture and wants a baby butt soft face.

Now all we need are some free global shipping codes!

What is up with that?

Where did they go?!!!!

Urgh--yes, we could really use a shipping code for the global shop, yikes. I actually bought some products from the global shop when the VIP free shipping code was offered last month.

LOL--I'm still freaked out about the donkey oil, so I'm thinking that I'll "subcurate" a box of barnyard skincare (pig collagen + donkey oil + whatever else seems right) for the fanshop or a giveaway. The Lassiel egg sleeping pack would be PERFECT, but I refuse to give that up for the sake of perfect curation. I'm glad to hear that the donkey oil is amazing--I keep hearing great stuff about it!

Barnyard box is hysterical. @

I had the same fear/ gross out factor re: Donkey oil. But I forced myself to take the plunge and I just LOVE what it does to my skin. It feels so nourishing and soothing. And now of course I have it all rationalized, so I no longer have an issue with it.

Quite the contrary...as I currently want to get my hands on more and more Cleomee products!

I had a similar initial fear of Syn-ake products btw. I know it's not real snake venom, just a peptide that "mimics" the real thing, but still. I have a massive fear of snakes. To the point I once got freaked out by my python purse. LOL . True story.

Very happy to hear this! I was so disappointed that the Donkey Oil literally smelled like donkey ass, unless I got a bad batch and everyone else's smelled lovely, because I was super excited about this brand as a hole.

LOLS!!! I thought it was just me, but I thought the Donkey Oil mist we got in OMG3 smelled kinda barnyard-y. I wasn't sure if it was just psychological because I knew it had donkey oil in it, or if it really smelled that way. Ha, glad to know I'm not the only one. Maybe we'll have better luck with the masks. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yes. I think you will really like these masks.

They do make your skin feel a bit "oily"  (in a great way actually) after you take off the mask.

But the rest of the serum will sink in about another 30 minutes or so.

So it's not a quick mask.

But really pampering and totally worth it.

That smell sounds horrible!

Was it a bad batch?

That's a shame, because it sounds like the type of treatment your skin would drink up.

Hmm--I may need to break my barnyard box up and use that oil on my legs then--this winter is causing some painfully dry skin!

Syn-ake: SAME! LOLOLOL

This is the craziest thing and I thought I'd never say it, but...I think I want to buy Meme makeup more than the k-wrap up box. Once I tried more I was impressed. To the point that I just bought a metallic board for above my makeup table so I can put magnets on the backs of all of the pots I've bought and will end up buying and stick them there for easier grabbing. Memebox absolutely bungled the release of the Meme products because they're actually good and a real value. Like...$3 eyeliner? Get on me.

Donkey oil would probably be awesome on legs.

It's all about the oil!

In the spirit of Chanukah, maybe this oil will ward off dryness for 8 days. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I keep trying to use the donkey oil, but I'm not sure about it! Not a fan of the smell. Smells like raisins to me. Lol.

 

[TreatChoself]

The only thing I'm truly terrified of are jellyfish (like, hyperventilating panic attack at the aquarium terror)  - so I'm betting that jellyfish will be the new snails.

I will smell it again. I definitely didn't get raisins the first go around but I'm willing to open my mind....

 

[sam356]

I tried the donkey oil and its great for dry, itchy skin. To me, it smells like perfume mixed with cooking oil lol

I just skipped to the last page trying to catch up....

And as soon as I read jellyfish mask....I started FLIPPING OUT.

I start squealing with delight, searching for some news of a jellyfish mask showing up in a Memebox.

Why hasn't Memebox included the ones from Pure Smile yet?

 

[Stella Bella]

I haven't used any products with donkey oil yet but from what I have surmised from reading the last several posts it is the new mood ring equivalent (that was popular in the '70s). Depending on your mood it will smell like donkey ass, raisins, or perfume mixed with cooking oil...  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
