Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

[MissJexie]

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!

WOW seriously???

This is so annoying, because I normally hoard package for months and this time I forced myself to toss out all the boxes for my palettes and just threw them out on Thursday...

That's absolutely RIDICULOUS considering they used the blush as an eye shadow in many of the advertisements! I honestly wouldn't have thought to use it on my eyes since it's so bright, but their photos are what made me even consider it....Unreal.

It's not that uncommon. For example, Urban Decay Electric Palette is not marketed as eye shadows, but as pressed pigments, because a lot of the pans contain ingredients not approved for use around the eye area. http://www.urbandecay.com/electric-pressed-pigment-palette-urban-decay/421.html

Ahh yes now that you mention it, I do remember that who Electric palette situation!

Just noted that Karl Loo's latest venture has nothing to do with korean beauty products as seems to be a mobile app. Company called Servis Hero so don't think there will be a Memebox UK / Europe anytime soon folks.

Still, my bank manager is much happier these days and I'm finding the time to actually starts using some of the products

There is "Seoul Search" on the site, like the Easter Egg hunt. There is nothing on the home page or an email about it but it seems to be the same as the egg thing.

I saw that too - I was looking at boxes and noticed it.  There is one already sold out!!  Unless they plan on restocking it.  I found 5 of them (including the sold out one) and I purchased the 4 in stock

yes, just stamp the word sucker on my forehead.

Tbh memebox are rather hot and cold so it could be a good buy.

But I can give you a naughty naughty instead

LOL, I bought all 5 last night before going to bed as I couldn't resist a surprise. I got a couple sheet masks to reach the free shipping. i wonder why they didn't send out an email.

I just ordered some of these "search Seoul" items along with a cleanser and a Missha night time serum. I really need to stop looking at this thread. All this enabling is too much for my wallet! lol

 

[biancardi]

you should have been here last year, @@Reija, when memebox was still international.  OMG.  In one day, 10-20 pages would be posted in this thread.

I've got to say I am really liking some of the random little brands that are popping up on the site lately.

And the prices on some of them are not too meme-inflated!

Has anyone tried the Doctorcos Amino Acid Mask?

The reviews on Amazon are pretty spectacular.

 

[MissJexie]

I'm seeing some of them come up as $1 and $2...are these legit? LOL

How many of them are there?

 

[MissJexie]

Ok so I've found:

Hongdae

Cheondamdong

Itaewon

Myeondong

and Gangham which is sold out.

Are there any others i'm missing?

 

[MissJexie]

I wasn't thrilled with the easter egg products but uhm...most of these are either $1 or $2..how can I resist? LOL

Also, anyone that hasn't purchased yet, there are some 15% off coupons floating around in case you haven't used them. I think WELCOME still works for 15% off

I was, just hiding in the background and it was easier to just close the window lol . I ordered my fair share of boxes then too. I'm still trying to use up those products from way back yet keep ordering more. Thank you all lovely ladies for being part of this thread and for all this awesome info and enabling. Korean skin care has really transformed how I look at skin care and Memebox got it all started.

I already got tracking for my Soeul search items. Let's cross our fingers that we get some great stuff.

 

[Jane George]

I have to admit I miss my memebox addiction like it was a year ago

 

[blinded]

@@Jane George I sort of miss it too. I don't miss spending the money, but I miss the excitement of waiting to see what boxes will be released and all the chatter that used to happen here. 

 

[Jane George]

When it comes to Korean cosmetics it is also a PITA to experiment with Korean beauty and I miss memebox as they gave me a nice range or apart from customer service and some boxes moving dates they were fairly reliable.

How do you get free shipping on MemeBox orders?
I want to give those 2 Seoul Search eggs a try but there is no way I pay $6.95 shipping for something costs less than that :/
