Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

@@TheSilverNail Does it take care of puffiness at all?

I really haven't found the holy grail eye depuffer yet.

Also does it absorb quickly?

thanks!

I can't tell if it reduces puffiness because I don't have any undereye puffiness at all (dark circles, that's another story.... sigh...).  And yes, I think it absorbs quickly but find that I need very little, just a dab.  Hope that helps.

I do feel it's very moisturizing for the skin around my eyes, but since I started using several other new-to-me products in the WYWS box at the same time, I can't say for sure that the eye cream gets all the credit.  I should have taken some before & after pictures of the fine lines around my eyes but I didn't.

And as much as I like it, I probably won't buy it separately because of the price.

Im of the same mindset. Although I find it extremely moisturizing and it absorbs quickly, I cant find anything else remarkable about it and wouldnt buy it again. Even though I'm curious about the Grinif Set I cant justify the price when I'm not thrilled about the eye cream.
@@LisaLeah -I do believe it helps a bit with pufffiness but I wouldnt buy it exclusively for this reason. I just dont feel the product is THAT amazing even though I do like it.

 

[LisaLeah]

Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it. @@MemeJunkie

I think I am going to pass as well.

I am just not feeling compelled to buy any of the new value sets...

even though I love rose products and sheet masks,

I think I am suffering from the Meme Meh's

Do review points only give you 2 points now?

Do review points only give you 2 points now?

did you review a full box or a product?  Product reviews are just 2 points.  A full box review is 3

they also are getting more picky on reviews.  They want pictures of the actual products and your thoughts on them

here are the guidelines on blog

Blogs:

• Each post should have at least one picture taken by the reviewer. Feel free to take other pictures from our website or the Internet if you have permission for the images!
• There needs to be an opinion/review of the products or the box itself. We would love to know what you thought of the items you received!
• Have a picture or description or review of each product. Please do not simply list the products you received in the box!

@@biancardii send in box reviews only, that's why i found it odd. the only thing is, i sent in reviews of quite old boxes and lots of those products are either used up or i tossed.

(edit) i also don't like taking pictures of used products (i'm odd like that).

Most of the reviews i sent in recently are only pictures of the actual information card, but i did that before and they did give me 3 points for it.

yeah, they might not give you a full 3 points if the box is a really older one now and if you don't have the products anymore.

2 points is a good deal if that is the case.

I sent in a bunch of old box reviews (milk, OMG, etc) on December 26 and got the full three points, so it might not be that.

@@LisaLeah the one eye cream that I've found to really reduce puffyness is Origins GinZing eye cream. If I'm really puffy my eyes water, it seems to work really fast. Sorry, not Meme related-back to previously scheduled programming...

Thanks /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> @@Krystyn Lowe

I may have to purchase it for my arsenal.

I have been also liking the Sooryehan firming eye cream I bought at oo35mm.com

It's not immediate...but after a week a so my eyes look more rested.

It's a slow and steady kind of product.

And of course I am a slave to eye masks!

Especially during allergy season.

Oh yeah and actually getting a good nights sleep and a low salt/low carb diet work wonders too. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Affiliate emails are out and we're only getting a $3 off $30 (not including shipping) this month. Yippee. Can't wait for the VIP emails to go out to see if it's even worse.

I'm not trying to be mean when I say this, only honest, but I'm shocked they even gave 2 points.

Taking a picture of the info card and listing out what was in the box isn't a review. It's not even an unboxing.

Maybe I'm in way too bad of a mood to be on MUT today... *wanders off in search of coffee*

[crazysweet]

Wow.. Just so disinterested with Memebox now. Will save my points to buy stuff if I find any I am interested in, then I am out. Haven't bout anything since the Black Friday restock anyways.

 

[blinded]

I'm really curious to know the logic behind the change in the code. There's obviously been a slowdown in sales, partially because of the lack of boxes but it seems the general mood towards memebox has shifted lately. When the boxes came to a grinding halt there seemed to be a feeling of wanting to buy just about anything they put out. Almost like we all needed to get our fix. As more time with minimal boxes (and some craptastic boxes) went by, it seems like everyone's eyes started to look for what else they could get instead. Or I'm sure a lot of people did what I did and took a hard look at the stockpile of unused items they have, and realized a break was probably a good thing. So, when your fans are starting to wander away, why would you take away one of the few incentives left to get people to buy from you?

 I've tried to figure that out myself, and the only plausible explanation was that they don't care to the point where there not really "losing" money currently... I don't know.. Maybe they just like to coast, or maybe they will be releasing a mass of boxes soon. I'm all stocked with products to last another year, so I'm not too worried.

I'm guessing they were losing tons of money before on boxes but were doing it to build up a fanbase and hopefully get people into the memeshop...

 

[Saffyra]

I feel like tweeting that Karl Loo guy and telling him that his main problem is customer service right now and maybe he should focus on that.

 

[Alidolly]

They've cleaned up the boxes page (removing all the sold out boxes). Best guess we'll get a box release on Friday but to be honest, I'm losing interest. I've a couple of things to arrive (empress secrets, mini Boxing Day box and a Pony 2 palette) but after that...I've 9 points to use up but am simply not interested in what they have to offer at the moment.

I'm also not at all hopeful about the VIP email still to come out (assuming they even bother with that one). The discounts are getting less and less and, given the extreme mark ups on some of the products, I'd rather go to testerkorea and ask them to stock it instead.

Will see what Friday brings but as it stands, I don't think I'll be spending anywhere near what I did last year with them...those days are well and truly over as I can't justify them any more /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

With no 5 dollar code anymore, I do not feel like buying anything....although I still have 9 points left
