They really aren't treating their long term customers well are they? Especially when there are more companies coming along every day. If only TesterKorea did a mystery box - even if it was once a month with a fixed shipping fee (or, even better - free shipping). They have the stock and can purchase in bulk so its just the curation and packing of the boxes they'd need to organise...something I'm sure they could manage if they have a scanned stock system to be able to pull the items quickly. Perhaps someone should ask them to do that. They could offer different boxes at different prices ranges or themes. I'm just surprised they haven't already offered that. With the likes of Beauteque offering monthly subscription boxes, it won't be long before one of the larger players comes along and undercuts memebox (well, wishful thinking on my behalf!!)

 
Just noticed I am being charged tax on a Memebox, which I had not noticed prior.  Is this new or am I just now noticing it?  It is only $3 and change but since Memebox does not have a brick and mortar presence other than in SF, what gives? 

I found out about Memebox a lot later than most of you but am climbing on the bandwagon of being over it.  While I am on a rant, why are so many CP boxes and not other offerings?  The logic of it escapes me.

Wishing everyone a healthy and glowing complexion in 2015 (and beyond for that matter!)

 
Hi jmen - welcome to the (meme)madness. The CPM2 box has been around for what seems like forever. Basically they overestimated how many they'd sell and the lassie herself did a shoddy job of promoting her own box (tho, in fairness I don't think she had much choice with products or were given them to trial before release). When they didnt sell, they started shoving the products into other boxes left, right and centre which annoyed a LOT of people (those that had already bought the box and those who didnt want the items so hadnt bought it). Its not a bad box but people are fed up seeing it.

As for new boxes, they released a whole lot of warehouse clear out boxes recently and there haven't been lots of "new" boxes for a while. They've also taken away a lot of incentives for people like $5 off shipping, bundles with express shipping etc....and products with short expiry dates (or past their use by date in the case of at least one item).

All with little or no communication and in some cases, outright lies. So people are losing the love they had for the company and heading elsewhere for their korean beauty products.

 
For me one of the main reasons for leaving Memebox is that their cs is a pile of poo and even when they get your order wrong and admit it they still want you to send the product bk on your cost or give you little back in points.

Plus the boxes have gone on a downward slide.

I used to be a fan girl for meme but now I can't even be bothered to review anything by them

 
Ugh, I thought I was done! But I bought that Night Care box. I hated the first one, but I love these spoilers.

One reason I was upset with the first one was because it had no sleep pack. Yes, the heart pore pack is a repeat, but we got minis before, and this is full size. I loved that mask, and I've been hoarding my last sample size, so I broke down.
Don't disappoint me memebox!!

Btw I just added a bunch of stuff to my cart and we no longer get the $5 or $10 discount

from shopping through an affiliates page?

Did anyone else notice that?
My January e-mail states that the $5 and $10 discounts are still active when people shop through my referral link, so I'm kind of annoyed that it's not working for people. :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I messaged them but anyone that is considering a substantial purchase in the future might want to do the same so it's fixed soon!

Under the 'my programs' in affiliate section they are expired

 
BTW I love Skinfactory, but I have to say that value set is a sad trombone.

They have SOOOO many wonderful products, but the tattoo peeling lip gloss is just like the other gimmicky ones we've received. Although I will say it works much better than the ones we got in past Memeboxes and also is a nice shade.

The sheet masks are amazingly good, however they pride themselves on LOADING the foil packets with essence so you cut a tiny corner off the packet first, dispense the excess essence out into your hands, and apply it to your neck, arms, body etc and THEN you apply the sheet mask.

For me, I just hate when there's a ton of essence in my sheet mask packets. I don't like the feeling of it dripped down my face when I'm wearing a mask. I already have body care items, so I don't need more essence on top of it all. The masks are actually really great, I just wish they didn't have a swimming pools worth of essence in each packet.

So while I love Skinfactory and actually think their products are amazing, I'm going to have to pass on the new value set :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Urgh--I hope that gets reinstated. The various changes are too much, too fast. I'm not done with Memebox, but like just about everyone else I'm diversifying (well, re-diversifying). It's time to get some new partners on my kbeauty dance card.

That's my point. They're not supposed to be.

I like lots of essence in my sheet masks because any extra I massage into my neck and my hands while I'm relaxing with the Alien-like facegrabber thingie attached to my face.  ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I wonder if the info card for night care would show up today ..
Hopefully...would like to see if there are only 5 products or slightly more.

Wonder if they'll release another box tomorrow or if that's our lot for this week. The value sets seem to be the way they want to go...guess its easier to order stock in bulk to make up the sets.

Well then you will LOVE these sheet masks, because they're specifically made for exactly that! ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

OMG, I also hate when mask are soaking wet, but this tip is amazing. I'm going to use it with all my masks from now on.
