Wow, that sounds really hard to find things that will work for him. I am going to have to try the fortune cookie soap.

Is anyone else noticing the crazy de-stash going on now that Memebox no longer ships globally? Since the boxes are no longer coming in, everyone seems to be going through their supply and realizing half of it won't work for them.
I just helped my sister do it the other day and am considering re-doing it myself.

I haven't got rid of much of my memebox stuff but I am making my routine more complex to use things up. Have got rid of my European skincare to my hubby's cousin yesterday though and cancelling a few boxes to reduce stash
On the note of scalp issues I have some form of dermatitis on my head as well as ezcema on my ankles and a few other places flare up to.
Sadly bean got scalp issue too and looks like dandruff but is a form of eczema... Yuk

since memebox said they were stopping euro shipping its got stupid ,its a destash as such for many ,some are genuine going through stash and know they can't or won't use a lot of them threw their toys out the pram and are just not so much despatching but selling it all and want nothing to do with memebox, so were just really box sub hoppers as they are known, and will be onto the next box sub,i.e. beauteque now,

Well, I got my last Memebox. It was the third variation of Luckybox 14. I need to find the ingredients for some of these products to see if I'll be able to use them, but it's not looking very good. I'm disappointed that this box was not at all what was advertised (the best of recent boxes), but eh, I'm kinda over it. It kinda feels like I flushed my money down the toilet, but hopefully I'll be surprised and be able to use a couple of the products.
I'm mostly disappointed that I got on the meme train after it started to derail. It seemed like a really fun community and I was hoping that I would be able to find some cool new things, but most of what I've gotten has been unusable for my skin (not entirely memebox's fault). I really did like the Beauty People eyeliner I got. That was a nice find.

Well said- I feel the exact same way. I also feel bad when I give a rave review of a box and the following month it's terrible...I know that's not my fault but I always worry about that because I have a very, very small budget and I know others do too- so if people spend money based on my reccomendation and don't get something of value, or even worse, what was advertised, I feel so terrible

I got my Seeds & Flowers box today. It is so weird that it says it shipped from Delaware on the label (the return address). Maybe they are testing out a new way to ship international from Korea.
That's interesting. I just got the Egg White mask I had ordered and it says San Francisco just like the Mystery box said on the return label.

Mine was the same way. I wonder if they just shipped a huge container to DE and then shipped them out that way - haha
Seeds & Flowers was one of the last boxes to ship out from the international shop - usually it would say it was from Korea, but this time, it had a USPS label from DE on it.
The egg white mask & mystery box are from the SF USA shop, so that would make sense that it would have a USA label
oh and VIPS - did you get 3 memepoints? Good til the end of this month.
@biancardi. It's just so strange, but it made it here faster than my last 2 Korea boxes that still have not made it to NY and they shipped 3 days before the Seeds and Flowers box. It was nice not having to sign for it.
My LB14 and Seeds & Flowers shipped out of DE as well.
Just checked, and yep, got the 3 vip points. Now if only they would catch up on the blog review points, I might actually buy something :/

@ @LoveSkinCare, look for a nice thank you gift from Memebox while you are waiting for these other boxes. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
I talked with one of their Customer Experience people as well, over 45 minutes, as I had a lot to say and she had a lot to ask, LOL. It was so much fun to do and to feel like I have some input into what Memebox creates for the US market from this point forward.
Basically, I said/ she said/ we said:
1) I said that most of us don't want only the popular brands which we can buy from Korean shops at a lower price a lot of the time now.
That we want the brands which don't usually export to the US, like we got in our Korean- shipped Memeboxes.
2) That most products in most boxes should be suitable for all skin types unless the box says " Anti-Aging" or "Pore Control".
3) That ONE sheet mask is NOT considered by me to be " a full sized product" in a new US shipped box that only contains 5 products to start with.
4) I had a lot to say about the low value now and the lower amount of products in the boxes. I told her that we do not usually view a lower priced brand as " inferior" because of the high quality of Korean skin care in general. I think she was very surprised, because she asked me several questions and for examples.
5) She wanted to know how I like the Memebox brand items, and I told her that I have everything and love it. That I have duplicates of the lip crayons and eye liners, and think the prices are amazing for the quality, which is very good quality, IMO. I did say that I thought we had a right to know who manufactures the products and where they are made. I also said that I had really liked the XO collaborations, and she said a lot more were coming, at good prices. The CPM2 box and subsequent fiascos with boxes shipped from Korea with leftovers was not mentioned-- I knew better, LOL.
6) I suggested that now that the US is stocking our boxes, maybe we could get away from all the orange and coral lip and cheek colors, as they are usually not extremely wearable for a lot of us with Caucasian skin tones. She said they were getting away from those shades for sure.
7) I mentioned the 2 incidents which were discussed here with regard to Karl Loo and the Memebox CEO and their Instagram and Twitter comments and posts which were derogatory to female bodies. I said that it is my understanding that some women still won't buy their products because of the insults. She asked several questions about this and was interested in resolving it.
8) Some people may not like this and may not agree, but I told her that I thought Benton was an unreliable company to do a high volume shipment business with at this time due to another batch of product with contaminants.. I said that I was basing my opinion upon my experience in health care rather than with cosmetics because I can't use Benton Snail Bee products. She indicated that they were taking measures to correct this with Benton and affected customers.
9) I asked that they review their current stance on value sets and pricing of shipping. I said that I believe that if the boxes are going to continue to be successful in the US market, we would like it a lot if they go back to the former model of operations, with more than 5 products in boxes, and with a lowered shipping cost incentive to buy a value set of 2 or more boxes.
10) I asked why I was a VIP since we really have no benefits.. ( I see we got a few that have a 4 day use window this evening LOLOL). She said they were re-vamping the VIP program. I said I hoped it improved.
11) She asked what some of my favorite boxes were and my favorite products- I had a great time with this question, and I think she was surprised that most of my choices were NOT TonyMoly, Skinfood, or the like, but Korean brands not usually found in the US ( as a whole, some were well- known).
12) I got the feeling that the US team is extremely invested in creating great Memeboxes, but apparently have different guidelines to work under than the Korean team had. Maybe it's the labeling in English, IDK.
I liked June very much and I told her that Memebox had changed my skin completely from dry and rough to very soft and hydrated- that this winter has been AMAZING with my Memebox skin care. This is the absolute truth and I was so glad to be able to tell Memebox " thanks".
I also told her how much I liked the contouring sticks from the Yeonkudong collection, and she said that Memebox was developing its own line of those items...

You're welcome.I love hearing about everyones conversations with Memebox! Thanks for posting this!
/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> It was a lot of fun to be asked so much. I have NO doubts that the Memebox US team is really wanting to make us happy. I did before the phone call, but I don't now. She wasn't ticking off boxes, she was listening and very involved. I'm very hopeful. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
So I did end up using my vip points already. Since there's currently a code to get free shipping on xomemebox items, I grabbed the bella lip pencil--it's one of the items I was planning on getting anyhow!

I can only speak for myself and my skin type, which is sensitive and would be dry without K- skin care, but I LOVE the Winter Skin Revival Memebox. I use the 3 skin care products every AM and PM with the addition of the Secret Key Super Plumping Jelly as a moisture lock, of sorts.
I know the Winter Skin Revival Memebox is more pricey than the other boxes, but we now have a 15% off code for it, and points, so I got another. This is my twice daily " go to" treatment box for hydration.
I love the It's Skin Power Effector 10 serum after a gentle foaming oil facial cleanser, because it's not sticky and absorbs completely. Next, I apply the Goodal Phytorian Murumuru Seed Hydro Emulsion from the same box and it's excellent. Very mild and my face is already feeling so much more hydrated. The last item I use every night from the box is the It's Skin Collagen Moisture Cream, which is very pleasant and mild. We have forced electric HVAC units supplying heat in our house so the air is extremely dry.
The products in the Winter Skin Revival Memebox are well worth the price for my dry sensitive skin.
I also really love the Skinfood Raspberry lip care stick and the TonyMoly tangerine hand cream.
Oh, and I used the Leader's Coconut Gel with Blueberry mask first off. Then I got a whole box of Leader's masks a day or so later. Really high quality masks and ingredients.
Anyway, I think the discount specific to this Memebox and the points make the box a very good buy for irritated or stressed winter skin, or to prevent winter skin issues. I think it's the best Memebox US box created thus far for usability of long- lasting and easy to use hydrating products during all the ice and snow.

Regarding those of us who have a drier indoor environment, try a humidifier in your bedroom. Until I added one and an air purifier I would wake up with sinus headaches that were as bad as any migraine. . . Thanks for the comments re the winter skin box and kudos to MMB for reaching out and asking what peeps think. Was nice to receive the extra points this morning.

Thanks for the compliments and the reminder that I have to find a good quality humidifier.. Some grow bacteria in a matter of hours. Others aren't safe for other reasons. I could use one 12 months out of the year, it's so arid here. Dry wind, blowing dirt everywhere.

To those who did the phone interview - did you get your promised 20 points yet? I believe they were only good to use in US shop. They also gave the option to do it online and I requested that option and they sent me a bunch of questions to answer which I did. I have yet to get any points though so I was curious if it was just me.
