Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

[SouthernSass]

How do I get started with Memebox? Is there a thread with FAQs and tips? I looked at their site but feel a bit overwhelmed. I'd like to start with a skincare box if anyone has any suggestions.

Hi @@SouthernSass, for full disclosure, I am an affiliate with Memebox, and I am being helpful because I love K-beauty and am always happy to corrupt someone /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />    I have removed my blog links because of some harsh allegations that were made, so if you find someone else here who is an affiliate (most people have their blog in their signature), you can find codes and links for further discounts /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

There is a "Are you new to memebox" thread https://www.makeuptalk.com/f/topic/132770-are-you-new-to-memebox/

Some boxes that are still on sale have had their contents revealed

Some boxes are already fully revealed on the Memebox site, such as the glowing secrets and Seoul style boxes.  Then there are value sets too, which have the contents revealed.

For skincare, what type of skin do you have?  What are the issues do you have?  I have oily skin, but also aging, so my HG items may not work for you, depending on your needs, but the memebox ladies here are really nice and helpful, and am sure you will get lots of advice!

Also, anything marked global on the site - Memebox is shutting down their international global shop, so if you are ordering any of these items, you would need to order them by 2/10.  You will still get them, but they aren't taking any new global orders after that point.

I hope that they resume their international shop, but no one knows for sure.

I am so sad I just discovered this forum this week while researching my gifted box subs from the holiday. RIP Memebox Global, I hardly knew ye.

Biacardi, our skin needs sounds similar, but add randomly sensitive to scents/ingredients and acne-prone to mine.

I just ordered the Seeds and Flowers because I am sucker for springy stuff this time of year. I wish I could have snagged one of the chocolate themed, and one of the Valentine's Day boxes seems tempting, but I people seem to have been disappointed with the holiday ones lately, so I am hesitant. I loe food scented things, though, (those tend to not be migraine-inducing like some florals/musks can)so the candy one really is tempting, although the description of the gifts for you sounds more like stuff I'd use.

To be honest if I was a new starter, even as an existing customer, I would be tempted by Seoul style, if kawaii hadn't stole my pennies.

It might be $40 but it is free ship and has only one make up item. I like that there is a booster, ampoule, gel cream and a jelly pack as well as three sheet masks.

Maybe that's just me though.

I have to admit after a year with them I find this site confusing at times as they change it so often and 'rearrange' I find it hard to keep up.

It is always worth looking for an affiliate code too, although I am no longer one, as you can get pennies off that way.

one item that I love for my oily skin (and I still get acne and cannot handle rose scents) is Benton's Snail Bee High Content Essence

You can get that anywhere for a great price, btw.     beautynetkorea.com sells them as well and they have free shipping.

Wow. I miss a couple of days and... wow.

Seriously sad that memebox has shut most of us down. Living in Canada now makes me feel it even harder. Oh well. I've learned how to curate my own boxes from other places.. with things I like and better shipping.

 

[TonyaBeans]

Well, I should have been receiving my Goddess Cream today, but the I highly doubt the snow storm will allow Canada Post to reach my doorstep. It will probably get rescheduled for tomorrow. I'm anticipating it only because I know it will be one of the very last things I receive from Memebox. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I REALLY wanted this box and missed it!! Aarrgh! And now there isn't much I want, even though there is still a fair amount to buy. Boooo....!

Lucky ducks, who picked this up!

 

[Alidolly]

Wonder if there will be ANY new releases before the 10th Feb for International customers to grab or if they'll be really mean and not add any new stock / boxes for global between now and then...nothing added today and their Facebook hasn't updated since the announcement.

Think I'm going to have to ramp up my regime to get through the products that expire this year. The Insobeau Z cream has already expired and only used it twice (too heavy for face use so going to try and use it on my legs / arms) as hoping it'll be ok for a month or so...

 

[Saffyra]

I was expecting a new release today.  I was thinking for sure they would be giving their international customers one last hurrah before they ended it.

Maybe they still will.

@Saffyra  I tagged you in the Korean beauty board - the mizon AHA toner from rose rose shop - mine has mold in it - you should check yours.   Roserose will make good on it.

@@biancardi, thanks for your response to my post about using my glut of unopened cleansers beyond the expiration date.  It kinda got lost in all the excitement over the weekend, but I did see it!  I was thinking that as long as they still look as smell okay, they'd be okay to use, but I appreciate you confirming that I wasn't crazy for thinking about doing that.

...in the meanwhile, I'm still trying to make sense out of everything else that's happened recently in Meme- and MUT-land!  Sort of feels like I missed a few seasons of Game of Thrones and picked back up right at the Red Wedding episode!

 Thanks! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I just picked up an assortment of foils packets of the snail bee essence and mask and some sample tubs of the steam cream from what looked to be legit sellers on ebay. I know a lot of folks hate foils, but honestly, for sampling masks especially, I kinda prefer them, that way if they don't work for my skin, I have better time trading/giving away the remainder.

That's a shame about rose and you, it's one of my favorites, but that's me with tuberose and gardenia..even if I like the way they smell in something, there is something sharp about them that starts to feel like a knife in my head after about an hour.

When did you receive this? I should be getting mine from RRS today. I hope there isn't an issue.
