Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

[Alidolly]

And I've probably just killed any chance of actually snagging a chocolate mania box by posting lol!!!

Oh well...

 

[raindrop]

There are tons of ways they could do something like that and keep it fair and legal. Your way totally counts - gift with purchase is completely fine so long as anyone can get that deal.  Buying something for a *chance* of getting a gift is a lottery and not legal.

Just the fact that you are (rightly) worried about not getting the prize because of your personal thoughts and expressions is one of the reasons gaming laws exist.

So, still no unboxing of baby soft skin yet? Shipped out on the 26th so thought it would be up by now...

At least we can't say they haven't been releasing boxes lately. Flood or famine at times with memebox lol!

Wonder if there will be an Easter themed box set..chocolate items should feature along with egg based products (Tony Moly eggs would be fun).

They could also do a fruit and veg box as there are PLENTY of products that could be included - broccoli, tangerine, cherry etc...

perhaps a weekend away box - items to take for a spring break including a decent sunscreen?

Not that I'll be buying as on a self imposed "You don't need any more products!" Ban.

Though....if it were a REALLY cute box I might be tempted...

ETA - I wanted to make it clear that I don't have any skin in this game. I didn't buy these boxes, and I don't plan to.  It just ticks me off.  Laws like this are in place to protect consumers.  Companies that care about their customers understand and abide by that.  Memebox doesn't.  They are committing crimes and passing it off like it's no big deal, when there are, in fact, real reasons those laws were put in place.

Just want to clarify that I'm in the same boat, don't have a horse in this race.  I'm not going to report them to any Attorneys General, the IRS, etc.  I just don't like it.

Am I only one feeling box overload...

Am I only one feeling box overload...

Nope...think I've got about 15 coming in the next few weeks so will not be buying anything else for a while. I have been using a variety of products though but probably not in the order they should go as never sure where the all in one products sit...or if you can combine them e.g. Dermakey 2nd elixir stuff before or after Etude House moisture surge cream....does it really matter that much?

Way too many boxes at high prices. None of these boxes have tempted me. Maybe if the combined shipping was cheaper but not at $19 a set. Also the Canadian dollar is pretty bad right now so the prices for me are about 20% higher so a $29 box ends up around $45 after everything.

I don't really count the US-only boxes as boxes. More like value sets. Maybe they thought calling them boxes would make them fly off the shelves? Because to me they don't look that different from the US value sets or that exciting - mainly because the US shop isn't really that exciting...

 

[sam356]

@@starry101 I agree, even the $35 Secret Key value set is not appealing to me because of the current exchange rate /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I just can't justify buying anything when I've so two boxes and three value sets coming in a few weeks. 

I've to really love something to buy a box right now. I'm hoping for a snail box.

 

[Jane George]

Gotta agree about exchange rate... Paypal one is terrible atm

 

[Fae]

the euro exchange rate is so low as well, it's the lowest point since 14 years ago! That's why I'm on a no-buy currently! ^^

 

[BlackMagwitch]

Agree as well. Considering it's the 'Global' shop you'd think they would consider that suddenly Global buyers are paying a lot more with everything being priced in US dollars. Not exactly the most prudent time to jack up prices.

The wisest thing would be to keep the old prices or offer a couple value sets at a discounted price point acknowledging this sudden increase to customers. Even one value set at a cheaper price to say thanks to Global customers for continuing to buy would be a great promotion and would win a lot of hearts.

I wish Memebox understood that appreciation and loyalty go hand in hand :/

I feel overwhelmed with all the releases this week! It's either no boxes or too many! I am also quite busy at work and I can't follow everything!

I got a refund in paypal for my lost blackout box!!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> But the $40 boxes are too expensive for me.

 

[Jane George]

I wish they would sort out my brush order.

Just emailed them again.

 

[blinded]

Between the exchange rate, my lack of trust and too many products all I've bought this month is the Benton Set. I've going to lose my VIP status unless they release something I really want in the next couple of days. So of course, since VIP has sucked lately, next month will be amazing.

For anyone living in Canada, do you know if Memebox still ships via Canada Post? For standard shipping?

As far as I'm aware, yes.

Another box: Gwiyomi (Cute) Box: Packed with a bunch of irresistibly adorable products that are not only captivating to the eyes, but also work like magic to transform your skin to get that dreamy, charming glow!

Valued at $57 for $35. Really? Plus shipping? At my age and that price, nothing is going to glow on my face, not the frown -- just MMB's coffers.

 

[theori3]

They've reduced the prices on some of the old boxes that are still in stock.

New spoilers for best beauty forward. I died when I saw the description and bought it no spoilers /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> kind of regreting it already...... the brands and spoilers so far are kind of meh for the price. Should have bought detox and renew instead..... I hope the rest of the box would be amazing brands and products... b/c what they have right now does not compare to the new valuesets that just came out. #nomorefaith This was the only box I have purchased in January, bought 10 in November and half of them had Cutiepie marzia stuff in it. Not buying anymore mystery boxes from memebox if this one sucks too.
