Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

[avarier]

I wish I could have some (not all!!) of your snow.  We've got no snow at all.  Just a lot of rain.  And no sunshine.  Ah, Seattle...

I'm just over the border from you! How many other people are so close by and I didn't know it.. ^_^ /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I moved up to Canada and no snow at all!! I do kinda enjoy the gray, rainy days though.. I don't miss the texas heat too much.

No snow here in Scotland - just dreich (wet and cold)....sort of typical weather for any time of the year here /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Valentine bundle in East Midlands at the moment so won't arrive today (DHL only work till lunchtime on a Saturday and not at all on a Sunday which is rubbish).

Gave hubby his mini memebox for valentines day and gots cards from both him and daughter. Kirsty also got me a Pandora link safety chain for my bracelet for my birthday (Happy Birthday to me!) and money from hubby. Cutest present from my penpal in Japan - a little wooden musical box that plays some of "Let it Go!" from Frozen /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I miss living in California.....

Anyway, did anyone notice that Memebox now has an mobile app and they have some items that will only be available via an app? I downloaded it (slow) and what they had, didn't entice me.

I downloaded it as well. I was considering the Carry out box but not sure. Also interested in the Eggy mask and cleanse set because I wanted to try the Egg white mask. So far I have resisted though and haven't bought anything. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20"> Any feedback on the Egg white mask?

I feel for you ladies in the cold climates. I don't miss living in those conditions. What a bummer about the mail.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  Sometimes living in the warmth all the time gets tiring also. I want to wear my boots but it's too warm and my pedicure isn't up to speed for sandals because two days ago I was still wearing my boots. These heat waves are making things complicated. :angry:   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I grew up in So Cal, moved to New Hampshire (hated it and DO NOT miss), did a stint in Florida and now I'm in Phoenix, Arizona.  I completely feel you on the boot thing!  I think I wore them for a week and now it's so hot that boots just don't work.  I'm hoping for at least one more "cool" down before the super hot summer weather kicks in but it looks like a miracle would have to happen in order for it to be cool enough to be able to wear my boots again this year.

I haven't tried the egg white mask - would be interested in others opinions on this one as well. I have tried skinfood's rice, black sugar and strawberry sugar masks..

Neither have I.

Tried those as well and the hot sesame is my fav! Idk...probably it is the earthy, sesame smell I diggg <3 

Tonight I went a bit crazy and lathered on the MBD's honey mask + Skin food's sesame on top. Result: awesomeness.

Just dropping to say hi. Had too much wine. Nights now..

Anyone who got the last Benton value set (and possibly others before that), you should look at the snail bee skin. Thanks to someone on fb I decided to check mine and it has weird floating bits in it. Between this and the mizon floaty bits I think I should not try to look for new toners anymore.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> So yay, I get to deal with trying to get a refund from memebox. I'm not agreeing to 5 points, that serves me no good. 

My dates are 2015.01.05 and it looks like it's batch EZOL153 (but that might not be right, it's hard to read)

This is my bottle

Ugh I'm sorry! What is going on with everything right now, geez!

I know! Just in the last couple of weeks there has been the questionable Elizavecca masks, Mizon and now Benton floating bits. That's too much, especially since I bought all 3 of them. Everyone! Don't buy anything I am buying. I'm cursed. 

 

[Stella Bella]

@blinded  Thanks for the heads up! Mine has floaties in it to and it is from the same lot as yours. Do you think that the other Benton products are safe to use? Just a bit worried that the company is lax with quality control because of the past issue with the bad batch of the essence and now this toner batch...

 

[blinded]

I'm not qualified to guess, but for now I'm going to try not to panic and I'm still going to use my open products. I'd say just keep an eye on the other stuff as you use it. I haven't used anything from this value set yet. I would really like to know if the problems are the way Benton produces their products, or if it's more related to the actual formula of the products and the storage and transportation of them. The fact Mizon has similar looking particles in their toner makes me think it's not just a Benton issue, but might be connected to items being shipped around the world in fluctuating temperatures. But, I wouldn't blame anyone if they wanted to stay far away from Benton. 

 

[dreamangel]

I just checked my Benton snail bee skin and it's got floating bits in it too. It's from batch EZ0K013. I've been using it for about a month already and never noticed it because the bottle is dark. Thankfully my skin has been ok...maybe it's just how the product is...? At least I'm hoping so...

 

[Stella Bella]

I'm really tempted to take this into lab with me on Monday to get a better look at the floaties under a microscope.  Heck, I'll even pipet some out if necessary for a better look. In the meantime, I just sent an email to memebox with photos attached so hopefully they can look into the issue and let us know if it is contamination or precipitation caused from storage/shipping methods.

 

[OiiO]

Yep, mine has floaters too. And I know for a fact they were not there when I originally bought the set, because I inspected everything, considering the company's previous record. Please tell us if you find out anything

Oh no...I can't bear the thought of another Benton issue. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> The Snail bee Essence and Steam Cream have been true holy grail game-changers for me, and the sheet mass have minimized breakouts for me after just one use. I hate that they seem to have issues more often than other companies. I haven't used any of the other products from their line, and I'll admit I have been curious...but I can't lie when I say I check my bottles of essence almost every time I put it on. The Benton fear is real lol

Same here. I really want this to be a storage, transportation or Memebox issue. I understand that Benton uses more "natural" preservatives, but maybe that's not a good thing. I really don't want to give up my essence or steam cream.

I looked at mine (as I ordered several of those kits) and other than the normal "bubble" formation that occurs in gel solutions, I do not see any floaters.

We're talking about High Content Skin, which is a liquid watery toner, not a gel.
