Whaaaat!???

This was just included in my email from Sephora.... Tony Moly??

Is it wrong to not want to share??

 

[Jane George]

Yeah I saw that. Someone mentioned spotting them a while ago too.

yes, I got the honey one a few months ago - it is AMAZING.  I haven't tried the blueberry yet.  I purchased the lip scrub from testerkorea from tonymoly too

I love the packaging.  I purchased several of these as stocking stuffers /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Lol just saw value of pony box though... No real saving... Nevermind

 

[Alidolly]

Has the mystery box spoilers been posted yet? It was shipped out on the 27th by snail mail but can't mind seeing anything posted..

 

[sam356]

Nope, I checked Facebook and no spoliers for the Mystery Box. It will show up in a week or two!

At our Tony Moly store there are two lip shaped balms. The only difference is that the packaging is not metallic. They might only be berry flavours also. ....Honey sounds yummy, though! Does it taste like honey?

I just cracked my Tony Moly cherry last night, and I hate to say it, (because it's so damn adorable) but I'm not that crazy about it. Texture is a bit synthetic and it has no flavour whatsoever. :/ booo!

Hopefully the Blueberry is nicer ... Kinda tempted to open that now too.

I'm not excited to see Memebox brands in North American shops. I know it's inevitable, but it feels like a totally separate adventure to shop Asian. I also hope it doesn't drive the prices up of our Korean discoveries.

It smells like honey and has a light honey taste - I use it at nighttime.

those non metallic ones - that might be the lip scrubs - my lip scrub is in a hot pink, non metallic lip shaped container.

 

[BlackMagwitch]

You're right @@biancardi One of the non-metallic ones was a scrub.. I forgot that. But the other wasn't. I'll ask my friend what flavour it was, as she bought one.

Does anyone else feel like they are pawning off what could be a Value Set as a Memebox?  Because that Pony box should be a Value Set, not a Memebox.

They must think they'll sell better if they're called a Memebox and not a Value Set.

With all due respect, Tony Moly is NOT a " Memebox brand".  It is a Korean brand sold in major cities as well. Many of us got that same email from Sephora.com about the Tony Moly lip gloss and didn't think it remarkable at all.. It's no biggie. Fanserviced has posted many photos and details of her K- shopping in the NY Flushing area K- stores. K- beauty products are wanted in the U.S., so they are now in the U.S. and the market is growing. Yay. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

The European market can court the same brands and open the same stores if they haven't already. Likewise, there will still be plenty of products for Europeans and Koreans and whomever, I'm sure.

The only major company with a retail business front which I know to have had a glitch with Memebox was Innisfree, and none of us really know what happened.  I think it was a price disagreement with Memebox, not a product shortage. There's still the Innisfree " Value Set" at about $3.00 off retail, which no one is buying, and those products were likely destined for the now- defunct Innisfree Memebox. Not the fault of any group of customers that the Innisfree box didn't happen, and that Memebox messed up their own Wine and Cheese box the way they did. 

The N. American bashing is getting rude. It's not the fault of N. Americans that you perceive yourself to " have less" or have less access to items. I don't hate on Paris, or Parisians or France because of some of the lesser known, non- exported things I have found there on my trips, I'm just glad to have what I have.

LOL, it WAS a Value Set. Only difference was that there was an eye shadow blending I'm Brush brush and 2 Memebox brand masks included when I bought it. More for the money. I bought the set for $39.00 also. The lip product was from the lip crayons, not the lip tints, but those are the only differences, I think. The Pony blush block is photographing prettier and more vibrant than it really is, BTW. It's very tiny, and so light as to be almost a highlighter, not a blush.  I do really like the Pony set eye shadows. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

PS- The same " Sweet and Natural" set that I bought, described above, is still being sold in the XO Pony part of Memebox, for both international and US customers, but the price is now $10 higher. Sometimes, Memebox is so funny.

"Dear International Memebox Customers,

When we first launched our company in 2013, we had a vision of providing our customers worldwide easy access to Korean beauty products. We grew quickly, and are excited to have done this for so many people. However, this huge goal means we face many challenges, and have sadly realized that we are unable to deliver an excellent customer experience for all of our international customers.

In order to offer fast shipping times, attentive customer support, and a seamless ordering process, we’ve made the difficult decision to stop international deliveries as of February 10th. Moving forward, we will only be able to ship to locations where we have a domestic shipping presence: US, China, and Korea. This means that all orders placed on us.memebox.com must be shipped to a US address as of 11:59 PM PST, February 10th, 2015. All existing and future orders will be shipped by the 13th of February.

It is with a heavy heart that Memebox makes this unfortunate announcement. We have really enjoyed providing our services and we’ll miss you all so much. You all have been so amazing and loyal. This was a painful decision, but a necessary one in order to improve our shipping process until it is perfected and ready to expand internationally. Memebox loves and values all our customers, and we’re excited to create a better experience for all our customers to return to you again in the future.

We know this is difficult, and we’ve set up [email protected] and a community forum at http://ushelp.memebox.com/hc/communities/public/topics where we will be answering any questions you may have.

We’ve also put together a helpful FAQ here: http://ushelp.memebox.com/…/200313669-FREQUENTLY-ASKED-QUES…

Thank you.

Sincerely,
The Memebox Team"

Bad news...
