Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

[BlackMagwitch]

Derp.. Nevermind! Lol. I TOTALLY have Neogen on the brain!!

You guys are right... Xaivita or what have you came in the Cleo box. I realized this when the soap was mentioned. Haven't tried it yet. Hope mine doesn't go in the bin! :/

 

[Jane George]

Nice to know about the camel milk though as I have it in stash to use.

 

[Saffyra]

I haven't even received the box to review yet so no refund news from me /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[veritazy]

I screen capped the page too just in case. 

I have seen a few people mention they got their refunds in full, including shipping, so I'm hopeful.

I bought 3 boxes and definitely cannot afford to not be refunded, so fingers crossed LOL

I'm going to get all 3 reviews done and send them all at once so they'll be less waiting. I'm still waiting for the last one to be delivered, because weirdly enough, they sent them all separately rather than in one box.

Gosh...I hope you'll get it soon! I too cannot afford that... 

Yeah no one trusts Meme events anymore hahah. Please proof me wrong, Memebox. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Well, probably my email is buried over the weekends with such a long holiday and various other things swarming into Lauren's mailbox.

I can tolerate all the camel milk and stuff. Not a fan of donkey oil though. I liked the Cleomee lotion but the oil is just blergh...probably destashing it or throwing it out. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  

 

[BlackMagwitch]

I like the milks also. However, I don't think the Donkey Oil is feeling the love. I see it on a lot of swap boards and my bestie tells me it doesn't smell very nice either. :/ Poor old donkeys...sacrificing their oil for no good reason.

Oh... Also, has any one seen horse oil showing up anywhere? My Japanese friend says it's her no-compromise HG product. She has her mother post it from Japan on the regular. I dunno if I can get excited about these animal oils. It's probably just conditioning on my part, as I'm sure there are all kinds of things in my products that I wouldn't be too crazy about on the face of it. It just isn't a pretty picture to think about harvesting donkey oil. :/

^^ sorry I lol-ed so bad XD

Yeah, apparently the Guerrison 9 cream was the one that has Mayu (horse oil) and started the whole craze in SK. I have not tried it personally due to my infinite stash of moisturizers, but if anyone is interested in odd ingredients, do try it and report back~ /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I was surprised Memebox didn't carry this at all. Probably famous enough.

I have Japanese and Korean horse skincare and hair care from glam guru boxes . The hair care is great for all hair types and great on my sons scalp eczema. The sheet masks are moisturising . The hair care is good I have thin hair and lose a lot some months due to medication and this thickens and strengthens the hair well . It's not as bad as or sounds the horse thing . No different to a few years back with placenta . Snail, bee, acid . Hyaluronic acid. Etc

 

[Jane George]

Tbh the horse are probably raised as meat so the oils would be a waste products rom that industry. Same as the placentas are a waste product from procreation.

Not advocating it but it is a point.

 

[Alidolly]

I'm a wee bit squeamish when it comes to products from animals. Bees / snails and starfish on the other hand...lol!

Think my Best Beauty Forward box has gone walkabout. Last seen at Incheon on the 14th Feb and nothing since. Its my last box as well and then I can close that chapter so to speak (well, the notes page on my ipad anyway)

Not Memebox but my Innisfree order still not turned up so have sent them an email to see if they can track it down. pantos website says London on the 19th but doesn't take 5 days normally to get from down there up to Scotland. Knowing my luck it'll arrive tomorrow when I'm at work though!

Also haven't got a tracking number from Beauteque for the pink bag even though they say its shipped....really hope they aren't playing silly again and lying about the shipping (like they did the last time).

Need to try and plough my way through more products as at this rate, I won't even have the 2015 stuff finished by 2017. Think my legs are going to get some extra TLC over the next few months lol!

 

[Jane George]

Nope no tracking no here either. I think people who get them 'free for review' get them first though if it is like last time which sucks big time.

 

[Alidolly]

@janegeorge - agree. We've paid for them so should get them first! If they want to send out bags for review then they should do it before the bags go live on the site and send the link to the reviewer with the date it will be released so they can add to their blog etc OR they send them all out at the same time irrespective of whether you review or not.

 

[Jane George]

I am sick of companies messing me about... Mine was supposed to have shipped Thursday but no here yet and no tracking. Between that and sosusan I am pretty irritated.

Everyone should get at same time tbh.

 

[Alidolly]

Wanted to give Beauteque the benefit of the doubt over the milk bag as had to send a rather legal looking email for them to respond the last time. Really hope I don't have to repeat - though this will defo be the last order they will be getting if it doesn't show up soon.

My BeautyNetKorea order finally arrived though - how cute are those Etude House chocolate eye shadows!

Have ordered the Look fantastic March box as its only £15 and a one off box so will see what's in that one. Kawaii Box should also ship out this week and the QBox Rilakkuma box on the 5th - whoohooo. Do so love getting boxes from the postie and the excitement of finding out what's inside /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

@@Lorna ljblog I used to have the same issue with my scalp like your son. Once I stopped using shampoo with sulfates in it my scalp completely cleared up. He may want to try that.

 

[Jane George]

I'm waiting for a few things including a Beauteque order containing last of the three chocolate eyeshadows

 

[biancardi]

That is one thing that is my pet peeve with companies.  For full disclosure, I have, on very rare occasions received a free box/bag to review (very rare compared to how much I actually spend!  haha) and disclose that in my reviews.  However, I paid for 99% of my purchases and I expect, as a paying customer, to get what I paid for in a timely fashion.  It is one thing to send a bag out early for review purposes to get more business, but it is another when it is sent out after the product is live AND paying customers do not receive their items for weeks afterwards, and with not the choices that they PAID for.

It isn't just beauteque as I've seen other subs operate this way as well.  I do not begrudge the freebies to bloggers - like I said, I get some a few times a year, but as someone who is paying for a service, I should be treated with respect and receive what I purchased as promised, regardless if I blog about the product or not.

 

[Jane George]

Tbh I always see Lookfantastic spoilers before the box is sent out. I have stopped buying it tbh as I always see it before it arrives and would rather be surprised. Tbh I will only buy it if I desperately want something from it now.

I don't begrudge bloggers getting them for free but I don't want to be messed around like last time especially as I advertised the bag on Instagram when I saw it.

 

[Alidolly]

Never bought the Look Fantastic box so probably won't have any of the products (and can always pass them onto my mum if I don't need or like them). Meant to be worth over £70 so thought, what the heck...missing Memebox and it looks like a big box. If its rubbish then it's only £15 and I'm not tied into a contract each month or having to cancel.

I don't have a blog or do you tube reviews etc so am never sent anything to review. I don't begrudge people who do receive them unless

A) they beg companies through their blogs for products to try...or worse, free holidays to "review". One Mummy blogger I used to follow was utterly brazen about it saying she's never seen the Northern Lights or taken her kids to see Santa in Lapland and would do a review "if a company got in touch". Seriously tacky!

B) they receive "extras" in the box that aren't included in what everyone else purchases as an "incentive" to write a good review.

C) the paying customer has to wait (as already mentioned)

Otherwise, don't really care. I don't have time to run a blog and organisation I work for isn't happy for You Tube (or other social media) interaction so I don't post any. I bought one of the review boxes full price but won't be reviewing (so no refund). I'm fine with that - I like the box. I might shove the contents on Instagram but that's it. I admire people that have the time and resources to run a blog. Maybe when my daughter starts school but not at the moment...but would need to think up a catchy name first lol!

 

[biancardi]

I should also add - that when I do get a bag free and it is fantastic and people purchase it based on my review, I feel horrible, guilty and betrayed when their bag, that they purchased,  is not what I received (and very late)

I feel that compromises me as a beauty blogger. It isn't the blogger's fault at all for what happened, but I still feel responsible for recommending something that doesn't turn out to be the same thing.

my son can't  use any soap ,shampoo as such ,he only had baths in hot water, but I'm finding the fortune cookie soap stuff good and shannon made some bath tea samples for the uk group order and we had a batch  which worked well, i tend to use coconut oil as a moisturising mask and then rinse out and it keeps him all clean and allergy free,
