Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

[jmen]

The Easter box and the Berry box are going to be a test whether Memebox is headed on the right track or is so derailed that I jump on a new train and don't look back. Since I came to the party in Nov and reading about what a great value it used to be I suspect my bar is not quite as high as some of you who were there from the early days.

Memebox posted a spoiler for the Berrylicious box on their instagram. This is the first of the US boxes I've been interested in! It almost feels like the old days of mystery food themed boxes. Except the value is way lower and the brands are unexciting /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Time for a Berrylicious Box spoiler! We're loving this Strawberry Black Sugar Mask Off, which uses Brazilian black sugar and strawberry seed oil to cleanse, exfoliate, and smooth your skin Warning: delicious scent may tempt eating.

I like that product ~ I am currently using it.  Yeah, the price points are much lower.  Those fun, gravy days are over...

I bought the box after seeing that spoiler on IG /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> It's a nice product!

@@OiiO yep that spoiler did me in. It looks like there's less than 20 boxes left - I'm guessing these mystery boxes are selling much faster than the naked ones. Perhaps ignorance is bliss haha.

btw Easter box contents have been posted to the spoilers thread! If this thread is considered dead, that one is practically fossilized. There's been nothing to get excited about lately.

I bought the berry box with a 15% off code.

I was definitely wrong on the Easter box, glad it was skincare and not makeup, but I'm still glad I didn't get it because I have 2 of the products already.

After seeing the contents of the Easter box I kind of regret not getting it  - would have loved a few things in there, and the one I already have would make a cute little gift for someone else /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> It's a good box, but like others have said, the days of epic Memeboxes loaded with hundreds of dollars worth of awesome unknown brands are pretty much over.

The Easter box is definitely nice. I thought it would have pastel makeup and nail polish so I passed on it. I guess we can never tell what Memebox will put in the boxes. There is some nice stuff in there (I have both the egg soaps and bath fizzer).

Definitely the good old days are long gone. I sure miss those unknown brands in the boxes from Korea.

Hey, just wanted to share with everyone worried about the floaties in the Benton High Content Skin the following email that I received this morning from Benton:

​We would like to apologize for the late reply regarding the SNAIL BEE HIGH CONTENT SKIN batch of 2015-01-05 [yyyy-mm-dd] (Lot Number: ENOL153). We needed time to investigate thoroughly on the matter of contamination. As a result, a MFDS certified institution was able to provide us the test result regarding contamination on SNAIL BEE HIGH CONTENT SKIN batch of 2015-01-05 [yyyy-mm-dd]. However, the outcome of the result was STANDARD. Therefore, this result indicates no wrong doing of the manufacturers and non-existence of contamination. Additionally, we tested another batch of SNAIL BEE HIGH CONTENT SKIN (2014-11-06) [yyyy-mm-dd] and this result too was indicated as STANDARD.

 

As for the floaters, it is assumed as components of Allantoin which has a solidifiability property among all ingredients. We are expecting that it can be improved by adjusting the combination percentage of the ingredients and it is under the test now. We will do our best for the prompt improvements.

 

 

We would like to thank you again for your continuing support of Benton.

 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

 

Warm Regards,

Benton

ETA: Looks like @@biancardi got the same email and posted Benton's response on the Asian/k-beauty thread. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

they have elisa coy now at memebox...I do love their honey masks and I purchased the Honey Murumuru Moisture Oil for my mom and she loves that!  I ordered those items from wishtrend, so this is actually cheaper to get it here, because wishtrend's shipping is awful.

Hi guys! Long time no post!! I found a product that my boyfriend just HAS to have. But I can't seem to find a reasonably priced one and wanted to turn to you ladies for some help!

The product is from the memebox men box 1. It is called: Mowell Freeze Wax.

It came in a bright blue bottle but noticed it comes in a larger size in a white bottle that I wouldn't mind buying as well. I found it on gmarket but I do not know how to buy from there. Any tips?? Or sites found to purchase this? Or even people selling on here??

Thanks in advance, it is much appreciated

Looks like this Singaporean site has it: http://johnandjack.co/mowell-freeze-wax.html

And they ship Worldwide, but I never bought anything from them so not sure if they're any good.

You can also request it from testerkorea.com in their want forums.

Not going to get either of the new boxes. I already bought the pallette so don't need a second pallette as I'm sure both boxes will have this pallette in them. Wish They would have said they were going to do the boxes as I would have waited and then ordered the box with the skincare.

I guess I knew they would do boxes since they did with the Pony pallettes, but this is the first I think that has skincare too.

me too - I would have ordered the skincare box if I had known...

I will wait & see what the boxes look like first now.  these are the first USA mystery boxes that I haven't purchased because I pre-ordered the palette.

I got a chance to use one of the pastel memebox polishes last week. I had a bit of trouble with the application, the polish felt a bit thick. I'm going to try using a thinner next time. I used a base coat, 2 coats of the polish, and a top coat. After 5 days, there's some chipping near the cuticles, but it's better than I expected. Here's what it looked like after 4 days, please excuse my messy paint job:

 

[Geek2]

I have the same color pastel polish and I was really surprised how there was very little chipping after several days without using any base or top coats. I was just trying it out to see and was really impressed.

@@theori3 @Reija  Thanks ladies! Now I have this overwhelming urge to pick up a couple of the pastel shades for spring. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[biancardi]

I think I have 2 pastel shades.   More than enough for me!  I am not a pastel person - haha
