Memebox: Korean Beauty Box Service

[Geek2]

I've liked couple of the boxes I've got lately. The spots be gone was good. Can't remember the other one now but they are nothing like the early boxes they used to do. I really like the idea of trying Korean skin care because the items/ingredients are so different but makeup I'm not so interested in.

 

[Saffyra]

Yep I have to agree with @ and @Alidolly.  Memebox has moved away from the amazing skincare and too much into makeup for me.  

They're looking for a completely different demographic- young and new to kbeauty. Which is strange because us oldsters are the ones that will tend to be the ones to toss $45 at a Memebox, not an 18 year old who just got a job and is paying for car insurance. The $23 box was perfect for that kind of thing.

They are expanding their inventory and brands which is good but the boxes just don't have the awesomeness/unique factor/crazy brand/insane ingredients factors like before. When you opened a Memebox you had NO IDEA what was going to be in there (unless youre @@veritazy because she always seemed to guess right). 

Now, it's a groan and hoping to avoid getting more Memebranded products and hope there will be at least three brands represented..

Still... I got one of the Jackpot/Fortune boxes just to see.  You know... for the blog... Haha!

I know this is a long shot but does anyone know or have an idea where i can find english ingredients for the Miss Flower and Mr Honey Essence Stick?  It's not on cosdna and I've tried translating it myself but everythings coming out wonky.

@@Saffyra lol thanks, hun! But its 50-50, sometimes they do stray from the theme. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I do look forward to those jackpot boxes -unboxings though!!! That sense of 'bokkulbok' (taking chances) is so Korean and I guess it works~ I'd love to see a luxury box giveaway similar to the Korean Memebox though (they gave away Benefit, Chanel etc for grand prize). I don't mind not having the chance at it. Eyecandies~~
 
I do miss the Memebox experience alot, but I guess the recent ones made it easier for me. Still lurking around in hopes to learn about hidden gems and new things~ ^^
 
edit: since I'm lurking, i guess it doesn't hurt to find the ingredients~
They have the main ingredients on Koreadepart but the full one is in Korean --I  think @ might be able to help in that department... /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I hate it when they have the ingredients list in an image..

skin & tonics posted back in december on her FB page that she has this product - you might want to drop her a line and see if she has translated the ingredients on this product as well.

 

[biancardi]

they are offering innisfree at memebox

one of the items I purchased Jeju Fermented Leaven Mask as I have been wanting to try that one out now for a while, plus the steamtowel

I own the Jeju Sudachi Soothing Mask and even though it has alcohol in it, it is a lovely cooling and soothing mask.  And it smells like lemons & limes!  I do love it a lot and they don't sell it on innisfree global - you can find it on ebay & testerkorea.

 

[Saffyra]

@@veritazy yes that's the same one I can find and it's blurry so I think I'm screwing up on my translation because of it. Ugh.

@@biancardi I thought of asking her! I saw shed purchased some of the line but then when I looked back again it didn't see the stick. She had some other stuff though. I'm tempted to ask banilaco to send me text ingredients. If they can. /sigh

 

[veritazy]

The Korean cosmetics company should already know that if they are selling stuff worldwide, they should at least have the English ingredients listed on their site tbh... I really appreciate it when companies print them on the box...like Proyou, some Tosowoong products and brands that have translations on their English site; Etude House. Thumbs up!  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

@@Saffyra I'd contact Banila Co in English and ask about it. I did this with Blithe and they got right back to me on a weekend (!!!).

OHHH WAITTT OMG get the Hwahae (화해) app! http://birdview.kr/ is the landing page and you can follow that to the app for your device. Once you have the app search for banilaco to find the brand (one word in this case). Then use the Korean keyboard (enable it in settings) and type 스틱 followed by enter. Scroll through and you'll see the photo of the stick after a bit--click that to see the full info page for it. If you click on the ingredients section (성분) you'll see the massive list of ingredients in both Korean AND in English. This app is a miracle. It has almost everything. I used it for ingredient lists when I received samples of things with no packaging. I think it's supported by the brands themselves? Or something. Here's a whole tutorial someone (not me) posted: http://lostinpretty.com/2015/04/how-to-check-korean-beauty-product-ingredients-on-hwahae/ I made an account and now I have folders with collections of products--I have a whole oil cleanser folder!

I hate it when they just have that for mobile devices!   I cannot c&p properly with mobile devices.

I am stopping everything and doing this right now.  Have I mentioned how much I love you yet today? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[Saffyra]

well! No wonder I was having so many issues! I was expecting normal ingredients! But because it's a wax stick, it has a bunch of weird named ingredients that turned out to be totally normal and even well rated. 

@ Thank you SO much! That site is absolutely amazing and I'm so glad you mentioned it! And the link to the tutorial was perfect. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Urgh--I soooo hear you--I had to do a lot of hunched-over typing with my iPad propped up so I could get ingredients out of that thing for a review. But as far as a reference while shopping or just glancing at things it's fab.

YAAAAAS! Seriously, that app is such a game-changer. And I really dig that blog that did the tutorial.

huh I just visited the Memebox site and there's a new Botanic Farm Memebox. This is the first Memebox in some time that's called out to me...although I need another cleansing sherbet like a need a snail lodged in my head.

 

[LoveSkinCare]

I know I said I would buy a Botanic Farm box a while back if they did one, but 2 full size products and 3 sheet masks, I'll pass on this. They say $67 value but these items are all on sale and it only comes to about $51

 

[LisaLeah]

I would be all over the Botanic Farm  box, but I already purchased the black soybean sleeping pack.

Which I Iike so far although I have only used it twice so the verdict is still out.

Fyi, the consistency of it is a jelly, exactly like the Elizavecca Collagen Jelly pack.

I was surprised...I expected it to be creamier.

 

[biancardi]

I purchased the Botanic Farm box as I did stay away from purchasing the items separately...

anyone have a pic of whats in the mother's day box?  It has 4 good reviews but I can't really see what's in it by checking youtube or google.  I'm considering purchasing but I'm wary these days

Are you a member of the Memebox addicts group on FB? Someone posted a pic. It's a good box. But expensive.
ETA: I sent you a message.
