I think that the CPM2 disaster was bigger than anyone thought it would be. Seriously, that damn box is still out there.
Looks like they added some double products sets with free gift with purchase. I would buy several of them but without a free shipping code, it's not a bargain. Maybe with VIP email they will give a free shipping code but I won't hold my breath.
I don't know if the Chinese would buy it either - though might reduce the numbers by 50 or 60 perhaps lol!
Ip why don't they just break up the boxes and sell the items - they could bundle the eyeshadows together, ditto the lip crayons. The Hallabong and Appletox would sell anyway which leaves the Revecen and cheek room lip balm. They could include those as a "free gift" with any new boxes or shop products just to get rid of them. Alternatively, they could sell it for $10 or something. At least it would bring in some revenue for them as I doubt they'd donate them to women's shelters etc..though that would be the best option and would generate great PR for the company...helping local women fell empowered and all that...
Memebox is so frustrating to me at this point. I've got 42 points sitting in my account and Ive been waiting for a box to buy that is not leftovers and repeats and there is just nothing. I'm tempted to order some overpriced items in the US shop with my points and be done with it!
I requested a commision withdrawal last month (which still hasn't been processed) and between that and the points I still have in my account I'm going to be at 56 points. A few months ago that would have taken me one day to use up, now I'm wondering if I'll even spend it this month.

Just don't use a CPM2 box as my tombstone!
Like others of you, I think I'm over Memebox. Not interested in their house brand of makeup, as I can get something similar or better locally, which means I get to try it in person and don't have to pay shipping. The first Pony Palette I got was very disappointing.
I really believe they thought they'd rope customers in with great boxes and they'd stay and spend no matter what. There are just too many choices in online and brick-and-mortar stores for that. I also think they're trying the same tactic in China now, with all those great boxes there. Oh well -- I have enough products to last me for a year or two, probably more!
I'm not sure if I'm over memebox yet, but I'm definitely not as infatuated with them. I'm sure I'll still buy the occasional box, but at this point I think I'm ready to be more selective about what products I buy which means online stores are more appealing to me. I do want the option of a mystery type box of Korean products though, so I'll stick around to get that fix from memebox. I still don't think any of the other options available right now have the value for me. The value on past memeboxes have spoiled those other boxes for me.

tbh if they kept the global and lucky box and maybe just 2 limited theme boxes a month that would keep me happy , like a normal monthly sub, but the fact other boxes are out there and mask box my money would rather try them out, i know i pay more for beautyque at $30 BUT, its a curated bag and once you add memepostage its the same price, and really i have points but no boxes to buy with, its not us who changed its memebox who changed and at times lied that things hadn't been swapped ,mislaid,changed, so its for them to pull there big girl pants up and woo us back with boxes or stop the global side and go china .at present no amount of i want the cream myself and i want to moisture myself is going to have us queuing to buy products we didn't sign up for . it was the boxes and its the boxes that made the global side of the company,without it they wouldn't of got money upfront to sell in china.

I have no love left for them tbh... The brush saga still pushes on and I am starting to despise them. I have points left to spend but tbh I am waiting to use them on something like mangchee then I am not going to purchase unless they sort cs and box quality.
I've got 9 points to spend and haven't seen anything I would like. The two boxes that I don't own, I really don't fancy and the value sets are very samey...cleanser, serum / moisturiser / toner and masks. The Vivito set is about the only one that I might get but the fact I haven't bought it yet tells me I'm losing the love. Their own brand items do not interest me in the slightest. I've bought the Pony 2 palette but only because I had a voucher to use up otherwise I wouldn't have bothered with that either.
I think the bubble has well and truly burst and unless Memebox inject some magic again, I'll be off. I will miss all you ladies but if there are limited or no new boxes, this section will grind to a halt as there will be nothing to talk about. Its been slow on here for a few weeks now - whereas, there always seemed to be new boxes to discuss - themes and products that might be included. The excitement has gone...replaced with apathy.
Such a shame as memebox was something different in a sea of subscription boxes. Oh well, at least I've still got My Little Box every month to look forward to...

i finally received all my missing boxes & orders from nov (6 boxes, 3 value sets, 1 order +plus my etude house. RRS & testerkorea orders) yesterday. My poor mailman!
After that, I still have 2 boxes on the way (global 18 & lucky 12) and then I'll only have lucky 13/14 and then I'm pretty much meme-done. I'm oversaturated with products so thinking this is a good time to work through my stash. Even tho I still have 40ish pts, I have no desire to buy anything else atm.

Not to be a Debbie downer but I recieved my secret key value box and I think the meme box and I will be parting ways at least for a long time, when my stuff runs out or very low I might come back and see how the boxes are doing but the way they just changed with no kind of explanation really stopped my obsession. I'll still be on the board updating on stuff I've used or if anything tempts me but for now it's bye bye membox.
I'm just about to use the black shampoo from the blackout box and the perfect repair conditioner together for the first time I hope it's a great combination

@@crazysweet Im just out of the shower and I found that it's very serumy and heavy, most Korean hair care I've used is like that - my hair is medium curly I'll see how it turns out when it's dried

Me too! I was eyeing that but the only spoiler is so meh. I want to avoid anything from that brand tbh...
So thats 20% of the box being meh for me. Hoping for something new tomorrow but I have been doing the same for weeks now lol.
Still think any new boxes will come out on Friday (as that's when the vouchers that were to be included in the value sets are no longer going to be added).
They'll be hoping to entice people to purchase them for the $2 voucher first but its so little a discount, I'd don't think most folk would be tempted purely by the offer (so they'd either buy or not buy depending on the set).
Had it been $5 then they might have sold more but a lot of people have memeoverload so its not enough for them to hit the buy button.
