As @@biancardi says there is a K beauty forum where people can still discuss K beauty products whether you're a veteran or just setting out on the voyage of discovery a lot of the girls can now be found below so come and join us for zombie, spiders, snail mucin, starfish extract and loads of other weird and wonderful products that are Korean Beauty lol!

It looks like the guidelines for box reviews have been changed again, they moved the cutoff date to boxes purchased after october 1.

Guess we were all smart to have hoarded them after all.

I thought they would leave the boxes but only ship the to the US but they're all gone. I wonder what they plan to do with all that excess product. You think they would have discounted them to sell them, better than inventory just sitting there doing nothing.

They will probably ship them to the USA Warehouse then sell them to US customers with a jacked up price, LOL

@@artemiss I haven't placed my roseroseshop order yet. I didn't know they're on ebay. Oh they've free shipping too. Definitely, you can get so much stuff with $35.99 from other sites (same amount as one memebox + shipping). I'll say memebox is good for trying expensive and unknown brands for less, but that's not even the case anymore. Do a patch test on your hand/arm before you use benton.

Also try the etude house chocolate eyeshadows that @@Jane George mentioned. I'll be buying more of them soon!

 

[biancardi]

@@sam356 do you already have the etude choco eyeshadows?  Can you swatch them (pretty please)?  Mine just shipped out from BNK and I cannot wait!

 

[sam356]

Biancardi, I don't have them yet! I wish, I bought them on the same day you guys did from TK. I don't think tester korea even shipped them yet. I did see some swatches online though.

Anyone else having problems with Canada post? My Intro Sampler set ($15) "arrived in Canada and was sent for further processing" for the past 5 days or so. Not sure if that means it got stuck in customs.

EDIT: This site has better swatches. http://musicalhouses.blogspot.ca/2015/02/etude-house-give-me-chocolate-eyeshadow.html

Me!!! I had two parcels arrive in Canada at the same time. One arrived to me Monday, second FINALLY moved out of "arrived in Canada" yesterday. Also, usually it goes to Ont., then finishes "processing" there, then to Dieppe then PEI. This one landed in Ont., finished processing in Montreal, and is now apparently "in transit". No idea what the hell happened there....

 

[sam356]

My packages come to the Mississauga, Ontario and then they ship it my house. I only live a few minutes away from Mississauaga, so I don't understand why it's taking so long /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  Yay, at least your package is in transit, you will get it soon enough! One of packages actually went around the entire country before it came to me lol. It was Canada Post error apparently. I feel a little bit better now. I hope its not being held up by Canada Customs because my package is under $20 /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Could be the current weather....who knows. I usually get my packages within 2-3 days after they're get sent for further processing.

Just had to say Goodbye, Memebox.

Whereas other local companies want to go global, you went from global to local. But I have had my fun, thanks. Time to spread my wings and fly, lol.

My guess is they ran out of prospect companies which are willing to hand out free items/items for a small price to put in boxes. Sure S.Korea probably has the biggest number of skincare companies, but it's still not unlimited.

Anyone have trouble going past the homepage for Memebox? Trying to get into my account and it crashes on me each time.. You would think after they cut off the international customers their website would be easier to access.. not the other way around..

I was having this problem yesterday (haven't tried today yet). I had something in the cart and tried to check out but now I'm glad it didn't work. Great way to keep me from buying. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20">

The day the site works perfectly is the day the drones have taken over

My only reason for going to the Memebox website now is to check the status of my commission. I refuse to buy anything online with Paypal until I can cash out these points. Plus, with my Feb 15 Ebates payout, I may be able to put in a sizable TesterKorea order that costs me literally nothing. Those are always the best kind of hauls.

That's the same thing I'm doing. My ebates payout came already, so I spent that this morning on some Missha samples from BNK, but I've been making my TK wishlist since memebox broke up with me. I have added and removed so many things it's almost borderlining on obsessive. I figure it's free money and I should use it to get at least one or two items I might not have bought with my own money. 

I also won a $25 Amazon gift card, so I was going to spend that on some skincare but amazon.ca is so overpriced it's almost funny. I think I'm going to test out a Japanese sunscreen. I really need to be better about applying it all the time and not just in the summer.

I love Ebates.  Best.thing.ever.  I just wish I would have known about it sooner.
