Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

[Geek2]

Sounds like great eggs! Still waiting on mine. Hopefully mine are good also.

I just saw the new secrets of K-beauty box is available. Thoughts? Any mystery box and I'm all over it. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20"> even though I'm suppose to be on low/no buy.

My Easter eggs arrived today too. I bought the vertical striped egg, yellow polka dot egg, horizontal striped egg, green dotted egg, pink polka dot egg, and white flower blue egg. Here is what I received:

Spoiler

As you can see, I received two of the same product, and in the exact same shade. I'm pretty disapoinnted considering that I did not buy two of the same egg! I've already emailed Memebox about it, as I don't believe there was any warning that different eggs could contain the same products.

Okay, I had to go run take a picture.  I got the Multi Vertical Striped, Pink Polka Dot, White Flower Blue, Green Dotted and the Golden Egg.

I received a TonyMoly Bunny Gloss ($10), Skinfood Cherry Milk Hand Essence ($7), So Young Stick Shadow in Deep Bronze ($10), Jungsun Eyeliner in Black ($10), Dermakey She's 2nd Aurora Skin Elixir Protection (which Memebox prices at $100) and some samples.

purchased the following eggs got the Multi Vertical Striped,  White Flower Blue, Green Dotted & the Golden Egg.

I received a Skinfood Cherry Milk Hand Essence ($7) (which I got in my berry box), So Young Stick Shadow in Deep Bronze ($10), Jungsun Eyeliner in Black ($10), Dermakey She's 2nd Aurora Skin Elixir Protection  (already have and haven't used it yet - lol)  and 2 samples.

I wish I had gotten a goodal product - I saw some other eggs on IG & they had Goodal.

so, 2 dup products and 2 makeup items.   It was a gamble.   oh well

 

[Saffyra]

I saw the Goodal IG post (one, anyway) and I'm pretty sure she ordered the goodal because she only got three eggs (I asked).  I also was a little bummed until she answered.

ahhhh...okay, now I am not so bummed out - lol

I do like the 2 makeup items & the cherry hand cream - but I JUST got the cherry hand cream in my berry box.  The 2nd key product - I am not sure about it.  I should try it as the reason why I purchased it originally was because someone here raved about it (sorry, I cannot remember who...but they really liked it a lot)

Hi everyone! Newish fan of memebox and an even newer poster on MUT! I was only able to get a few boxes from the old memebox starting with Lucky Box #12 and the Easter Egg Hunt was the first great buy along with their $18 Naexy Mask Set (12 pcs) - I mean they threw 3 memepoints at me and I used a discount code so that made the value worth it! 

Just disappointed in seeing the Tony Moly Bunny Gloss because that thing is NOT worth the $9 - $10 they state on the site :/  It's only about $3.50USD if you convert from Korean Won and many of our beloved sites like RRS, TK and KD will have it closer to it's native price.  I ordered 2 eggs as well. Hope I get the SkinFood items!! The Hand Essence looks promising!

I agree that the values are WAY higher than they should be, but I'm just happy I got things I will actually use lol. I think that since they turned into a US-only company, their "values" have been ridiculous on inexpensive products. Much of the time it's because many Korean companies set the US price point, but honestly, I admit I was a little bummed to get 2 lip product and a lotion for $25 shipped when for $30 shipped I'd get a box full of skincare goodies back in the day!

But looking at it objectively, I'm just happy I got things I'll use and that they're all nice quality products- it could have been a lot worse, like getting an overvalued sheet mask or something lol /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[Saffyra]

The bunny glosses and many other things will always be cheaper if you buy them from a Korean shop.  But $9 for a TM bunny gloss is pretty much the going rate if you want to buy them from anywhere in the US.

It's ridiculously high but that's the price TM sets it at in the US. That's how much they are in their shops here, isn't it? I mean... I'd buy one for $3... MAYBE $5... but $9? Never.

That's one of the reasons I love RRS so much... all those good Mizon prices /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Anyone received her Memebox x Nylon Makeup and Skincare Edition yet?

 

[LoveSkinCare]

I got my eggs today, white flower blue and vertical stripe.

I got the Jungsun black stiletto eyeliner

Skinfood cherry milk hand essence.

My berrylicious box is lost I think. It left Raleigh, NC on the 4th and no additional tracking since. Raleigh is only 3 hours from me. So it usually get to my local PO a day later. I'll give it a few more days and then contact Memebox.

I am miffed about my skincare box.  The one with no MAKEUP has a bright orange glitter lipgloss in it - and memebox has the nerve to say they "cheated" in the info card.  Err, no - that is called a lie, when you state that there is no makeup in a box.  I have sent them an angry email

Is this the naked skin mystery box? I just got it too and it has the bright orange lip tint in it.

yep, that is the one.  It was supposed to be an all skincare box and they lied about it.  The card just upsets me because they joke and state "they cheated" and this is a "natural" lip color.

 

[Geek2]

I'm with you on that. This color is not "natural" for sure! Although I'm going to try it next just to see for the fun of it.

 

[Geek2]

Wow the color is bright! I had to wipe most of it off to get it to look more "natural" and it's still orange. The taste isn't the best either.

 

[Geek2]

My two eggs came today too. I had ordered two of the same. I think it was the green with the dots if I remember correctly. I got So young Eyeshadow stick in both (both the same color) and Black Sugar Honey mask sample in one and Skin79 BB cream sample in the other. I'm really happy about the samples. I'll try the shadow stick too and donate the other shadow stick since they are dups.

 

[biancardi]

I emailed memebox about the orange lip gloss - and complained about it, mentioned usa laws about misrepresenting products and requested that I receive a skin care item.  They are sending me a skin care product! 

so, complain to them if you are unhappy - they need to know that they cannot get away with lying about their products as there are consumer laws that protect us from this type of abuse.

you go! Im still annoyed about the Nylon palette. Don't show me a girl with the "blush" on her eyes if putting it on my own is dangerous lol

Is the blush actually dangerous to put on the eye area? I haven't started my review yet so I haven't looked into it, but I assumed it would be formulated similarly to the shadows since they used it on the models!

The box (on the side) states that the ingredients are not approved to put on your eyes due to an ingredient that isn't approved in the USA, Canada and Brazil..... Fine print....  I was shocked when I read that!
