Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

[biancardi]

@janegeorge hope you're feeling better soon and can enjoy Christmas

Really hope the online info cards aren't a permanent change as I don't have access to a printer and there's no way I'd remember how to use the products without the little card! I don't have the Milkydress info (its no longer on the website that I could find anyway) so would be lost if they removed the info cards after say a few weeks.

Waiting for Luckybox #12 spoilers too...(and delivery of Garden...been in the van since 6am and still not here yet /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> )

email them to let them know you don't like the online info cards.  I have been everytime I get a box that doesn't have a card.

I don't know if this will make them change, but the more complaints about it, maybe they will get a clue that it isn't what people want!  I have a printer and I hate them

My DHL has come as late as seven at times.

As for my illness I probably won't be but at least beany isn't ill this year.

I like the cards too tbh as I can reference them again and like you I have no printer

 

[veritazy]

I like both printed/ computer form. Printed: so that I can reference back easily without computer access. Electronic card: so that I can easily link/ screen cap for a blog post.

I think its the paperless era, but then Memebxo could have made it greener by using alternative reusable box packaging and reseal-able bubble wrap envelopes. I realized this when I recycled a huge pink pile of bubble wraps lately... :/

Knowing my luck, the driver will arrive after I've left to collect Kirsty from the nursery and I'll have a card through the door. Last time he arrived at about 3pm so fingers crossed /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I used to be able to print some bits and bobs off at my work but I don't have a desk now (only a laptop) which makes printing anything off difficult...not good when I'm training and need packs for delegates! I do have a home printer but the ink cartridges dried up and I've not managed to get it working again despite buying new cartridges /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> think I might try and get a cheapy one in the sales as I only need black rather than the full colour experience.

Can sympathise with illness - was off work from July until November myself (and earlier in the year following knee surgery) so hoping 2015 is a healthier year. One of the reasons I got into Memebox was to spend some pamper time on me as I'd been neglecting myself (looking after daughter / working etc) and my body said "hell no, enough!" I'm still a complete novice with all the steps but do enjoy getting the pink boxes delivered....though don't think my postman would agree lol!

I am now saving those for my trades and swaps.  They are nice & thick and sturdy.   I am a firm believer of reusing mailers if I can.

I am probably one of the few that actually prefers the electronic cards. I keep losing track of the paper ones. I also usually end up googling or reading blogs when I can't remember how to use a product or what the benefits of them are. So other than when I first open the box, I don't care if I don't have a physical copy.

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" />

I actualy really like the smell of it. I thought it smelled very pleasant and didn't notice an ass smell.  :lol:

 

[MissJexie]

I honestly think they do the online cards because they don't have time to print them with the new releases shipping so early. I would definitely contact them and let them know how you feel about them though.

I dislike them because not only do they make them more difficult to do reviews, but like everyone else, when I pull out a product and want to refresh my memory on what it does/how to use it, I like to pull the card out. 

I also think that if they're using the "quality over quantity" excuse for less box releases, they should be planning these far enough in advance where a card can be printed for them.

I'm sure they save money not having to print them, but it's very useful, especially when you're gifting boxes. You want the receiver to be able to open the box and read about everything in it, not have to go to a computer and look it up lol. And yea...if I gift my grandmother a box, she's definitely not going to have any idea how to look use anything, never mind learn how to use a computer to read the info card lol /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Totally not related - but condolences to the families who have lost loved ones in Glasgow George Square today - bin lorry lost control and travelled approximately 300m along a pavement and crashed into the Millenium Hotel near the train station. Reports of 6 dead and more injured. Driver been taken to hospital as thought to have been taken ill at the wheel. Sky News are being utterly insensitive and probing eyewitness for details of who was hit - people that are obviously traumatised.

Second major incident for Glasgow at this time of year Clutha Bar Helicopter incident last year)

Sorry, know its not related but tragedy for all involved.

SPOILER: Winter Essential Masks electronic info card

Do you get

Spoiler

four of the LASSIE’EL Raspberry Age Defying Yogurt Massage Masks, or just one? The picture is confusing since it shows four and the card doesn't mention "randomly selected from," but the card only says one.

I think just one. Maybe they're all the same hence no need for selection /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Right, but don't they usually only show multiple products on the card if you either get multiple or it's a random selection between several choices? Like the

Spoiler

INOFACE Real Natural Pulp Essence Sheet Masks -- they show the four different kinds in the picture, but you only get one. They show them all to show the possible options. With the yogurt masks, there's only one option, so why would they show multiple in the picture if we only get one? Then again, it's Memebox -- nothing seems to make sense.

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!

didnt someone say in their blog that the oil is derived from the milk? So its not quite as offputting if that helps..

 

[biancardi]

I think it might be just one as well as as the product page does state each one of these is 12 g

 

[Jane George]

Cool. Got a reply on Instagram and they are working on resolving my issue

Oh that's great to hear. Hopefully they'll resolve it pretty quickly for you.

Still waiting on DHL guy but at least its on its way (received a text).

Wonder what today's advent will bring..

(@skynews coverage on the Glasgow crash disgusting - asked a witness to describe exactly what she saw..when she said there a baby in a pram and kids but didnt want to say any more, they badgered her over and over to describe the scene. She was clearly traumatised but they didnt care...angry at their behaviour as so insensitive and callous!).

Bahahahahaha the no cpm 2 repeats disclaimer!!  So sad it's come to this!!!

(if I wasn't at work, I'd be rolling on the floor kicking my feet in the air like cartoons.  This is HILARIOUS to me!)

I think the oil is derived from fat, not the milk. Can't find much info about it online, though.

 

[TheSilverNail]

Box contains repeats.  In other words, warehouse clearance?

And how bad is it that they have to say no CPM2 repeats!  OMG
