I was going to order this but didnt check email til I got to work and it was sold out!  BOOOOO.  I'm wondering if they're making boxes all kinds of different prices to do some in action market research to see what price point sells the best?  Or else they just don't know what the hell they're doing.  Probably number 2.

 
After my typical mo of do I or don't I buy, I decided to pull the trigger on the new box. Please God of all things do not let me regret doing so. So help me if this box is a box o cow pies, I will delete all trace of memebox and reboot with a clean slate.

 
@jmen  I am hoping it is skincare, and not makeup..they did state skin care is their top priority.   Red & Gold - some missha products?

 
@@Alidolly Like you, I've been spoilt by Memeboxes full sized products & have not been that impressed with my other subscription boxes, so have now cancelled them Birchbox, Glossybox etc.

Great for my purse though & I've got to admit shopping direct from TK etc for products that have been reviewed by some of you ladies is a lot more fun.

@@Jane George I liked your review on the Pink Parcel and I'm going to try it out.

Not sure if you mentioned it before but we certainly need a Memebox alternative over here...

Definitely. Someone on here mentioned that one of the memebox were in London at one point so I am wondering if they will expand into Europe soon. I've been irritating them on Instagram about how we were a good market as we lack much korean goods here and seem slightly behind the U.S.Hopefully they will listen as I would much rather have a UK or eu based korean box to sign up to as less likely to get surprise charges then.

Tbh in the UK it might be case of first in best dressed with korean beauty boxes

Its Karl Loo that's on LinkIn as being based in the UK (when everyone else from the company seems to be San Fran or Seoul). The biggest issue I can see is the ingredients as shipping individual boxes to the UK from Korea they could get away with not having to list these in English. IF they were to open a warehouse in the UK and ship container loads THEN ship the boxes out, they would need to list all the ingredients of every product to meet UK legislation. This might be costly for them to do (as it would need to be repacked I would think). This might be possible with the bigger brands like Tony Moly but less so with the tiny brands.

Or they could simply ignore UK legislation and send out the boxes regardless and hope they don't get caught...

Probably the latter then given their track record for things like that lol!

 
@@Jane George I had no idea about the prior Memebox link to London but if they were to resume, they should make it up to their International customers & to regain our trust. 

I think I've found 2 sites in the UK that sell Etude House & other Korean brands but they really do not have much to offer at all.

I tend to order from BNK or TK and if I want surprise boxes from Beauteque atm. I know some sites do some korean products and you can get some in boots and on Amazon. But we need a box and I can really see memebox eu popping up in a few months to a year here.

But I might be wrong.

@@Jane George Earlier this week I received my 2nd Elizavecca Skincare Set Season 2 & I'm just waiting for my Plant Stem Cell T Cream to pass GBLALA... I'm kind of going through Memebox withdrawal but the only box that would be appealing to me is the Lunar New Years & Mystery Box.

I do hope your prediction of Memebox EU returning happens though!

 
I guess USA has the same problem as UK regarding the ingredients. Am I right thinking that the us boxes contain only products with an ingredients list in English? They could sell only big brands that have the list in English but I guess in this case, they won't be that profitable and we won't have great deals...
