Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

[TheSilverNail]

So many good suggestions, thank you.  However, I just received a reality check in the form of my credit card bill which had my holiday shopping on it.  Ach du lieber.  Time to rein in my purchases a bit, methinks.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I've just bought a couple of pieces of art so won't be going on any mad spending spree either. Would like pinkaholic & step by step plus maybe cafe box....and the blue box if they go that far back for the mad blue lipstick!

Boxes I've liked - Lisa Pullano, Citrus Care, While you were sleeping, From Jeju

Avoid like the plague - Halloween (unless you like greasepaint), My Dessert Box, Etude House, mcwl4 and by a long mile...My Petite Treasures (just, noooo!)

I'm just hoping to snag Smile Care!

Shipping question for all in the US:

My Boxing Day #1 box cleared customs and left a USPS office in NY a week ago. There's been no tracking since then and it should have been delivered by now.

Today i filed a non-delivery claim with USPS and emailed memebox with my claim #.

I'm stuck waiting to hear from either til next week. So as I twiddle my thumbs I was curious if this has happened to any of you, and if so what was the outcome?

I'm happy this box wasn't that great because I honestly would rather get a refund and buy a restock! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I think my cooling on Memebox isn't entirely their fault though. There were just too many boxes released in October that I 'needed', plus I feel like at the beginning of the year I always have more expenses to worry about, more resolutions about saving I want to keep. Not to mention the Canadian dollar is poop right now.

I am in agreement with you about October. I went WAY overboard and afteafter getting all the boxes finally, the thrill is a little gone. I still have a pretty big crush on Memebox, but currently my wallet doesn't, so as much as I wanted Luckybox #5, I think electricity and rent will be the big winners next week!

Has anyone had a bad reaction to the Holika Holika balm from MCW4? I used it on NYE, and noticed that I had broken out the next day in the areas I used it. The area has been getting worse and worse since then, it looks more like a burn in some areas now. Here is how it looked tonight right after my shower:

I've tried a few different products to calm down the blemishes and redness, but I'm not sure that anything has really helped. If you have any suggestions, please let me know!

Thank you!

ETA a second photo.

@@theori3 I haven't used it, but I personally wouldn't add more products. I would mix some honey/yogurt/oatmeal etc and make a quick natural soothing mask.

 

[detroitjewel]

@@theori3 ps- Ive never tried it, but I've also heard that in situations like this a crushed aspirin mixed with water into a paste can work really well.

Good luck!

You might also want to try using Aloe soothing gel and nothing else. It has great healing properties.

I live in the Boston area (just to give you a perspective of distance from NY)  and sometimes it takes almost 2 weeks after clearing customs.  There a ton of sorting stations in between.

A few times, I would not see any movement for over a week and then wham, it is just delivered.

I have never had a box lost with Memebox (knocks on wood) and I have had boxes as late as 3 weeks.  I don't file a non-delivery claim - I just use USPS's contact form to inquiry after a package that is missing and they usually respond within a few working days.   Memebox doesn't care about the boxes - they will tell you (as they put this claim on their website as well), that boxes can be delayed to over a month.

I didn't even bother with that one.  If you want something to calm down acne, I highly recommend Benton's High Content Snail Bee Essence (unless you are allergic to bee venom).  That stuff is the best

here is the ingredients to the holika holika blackout pore balm so you check out and see if you might be allergic to something in this.

"Ingredients: Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Carbomer, Triethanolamine, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Fragrance(Parfum), Moroccan Lava Clay, Kaolin, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Water, Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Propylparaben

Hi, can someone recommend good boxes for dry skin? I haven't gotten many Memeboxes and would love to get some restocks. Thanks!

 

[Jane George]

I found wine and cheese good for me( I have dry skin)

 

[dreamangel]

Thanks!

That's actually pretty normal. Normal for time frame and normal for no update. I would say a good half of my boxes show up with no notice after they leave their point of entry into the US.

So far none of my boxes have ever been lost, though they have taken more than a month to get to me.

Someone asked this question on the Memebox Facebook page: "Memebox, are you ever going to do another collaboration with CutiepieMarzia?"

Made me laugh so hard

 

[Jane George]

The thought that there is supposed to be a fourth worries me.

 

[sam356]

I know, right? I'm just surprised people actually want another CPM.

Memebox learned their lesson though. I don't think there will be another one in the near future (at least I hope not!).
