Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

[LoveSkinCare]

why does memebox give VIP 3 memepoints on a friday afternoon with no new boxes to be released over a weekend and have them expire on sunday night?

makes so sense. VIP members should be able to have their memepoints for the whole month /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I know, it's not right. I remember before they had an expiration but sometimes they didn't expire. I wonder if anyone didn't use their points the last go around and can let us know if they expired or not.

they do expire.   I haven't used several of them now.

 

[biancardi]

ahh, they just released the pony stuff!  For whatever reason, I am strangely drawn to the orange bloom eyeshadow quad (as the other two - I have those colors!) and the lipsticks in 1 & 2

That sucks that they expire. I doubt I'll use mine this time.

My search Seoul box came today too. Happy Friday! I love getting boxes on Fridays The weird thing is that I got a notification that the cleanser I had ordered was out of stock yet it was in my box. My search Seol items look like they are the same that you all have gotten (the Leaders masks and the blush).

I generally use the VIP points to grab an XO item since there is also a free shipping code for them for VIP members.

I hadn't thought of that, good idea.

Did anyone ever hear of the Botanic Farm line that is now on the site?

Some of the products, like the Black SoyBean Milk Pudding Sleeping pack look really interesting!

I tried to google the brand but didn't come up with much.

 

[biancardi]

@LisaLeah  I haven't heard of it, but yeah, that sleeping pack is interesting, as is the cleanser.   I wish memebox would have done a Botanic Farm box /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
 

 

[LoveSkinCare]

I would buy a Botanic Farm box

 

[biancardi]

so, Botanic Farm is part of cosmax, which now has a plant here in the USA

Should Cosmax mean something to me?

Thanks for googling. And yes agree about a BF box!

 

[biancardi]

@LisaLeah  Cosmax is a huge player in Korean skincare and they just took over a plant in the USA that was L'Oreal's.

Great to know!

So we should probably be getting more interesting Korean brands on Memebox. (fingers crossed)

I've always wondered about foreign companies that manufacture in the US though. Do they use all the same ingredients etc? Here they will have to deal w/ the FDA etc. For example I could swear the No7 Skincare I get in the UK is better than the No7 I can get here. Same is true w/ European perfumes. Due to the fact in Europe, France in particular, they can use certain whale by products to preserve the scent, that aren't legal in the states. Which is why fragrances purchased in France can have more depth than what you get here. (my facts may be off on which by-product they use, but I do know it is some kind of ingredient that isn't legal here)

Then again, I would imagine the laws are the laws whether something is manufactured here or simply sold here.

Sorry for the circular questioning....I don't think I properly caffeinated today. I have a bit of mind mush going on.

Just got am email from Memebox, birds nest cream and some animal masks, LOL

 

[LisaLeah]

I got the same email, besides some of the masks, both the Gold and Diamond sleeping packs look really interesting.

Between SNP and Botanic Farm, Memebox is looking a little bit like Memebox today.

 

[biancardi]

I just wish they would do boxes instead of individual stuff...

 

[LoveSkinCare]

Lots of new stuff added lately, I feel like they listened to what was said during the phone surveys they did. I know I asked for the unknown new to me brands.

Now to make a list of everything I want to buy

My thoughts exactly about the products being manufactured here in the USA vs. Europe. I don't think it's the same stuff even though it's the same brand. Whenever I see "made in France or Italy" I jump all over it because I always think it's a superior product then than the ones made here. It's the European in me that likes European and foreign things in general. Not saying that made in the USA things are bad, they just seem to be different especially if manufactured here by the same brand vs outside of USA.
