Me too...I miss $23 boxes../emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
Fermented cosmetics are huge in Korea atm. They use like enzymes and stuff in their beauty products as well as food.
Might sound abit alien to us all but I am willing to try if only it was cheaper. *sigh*

I've had two shipments upgraded to express because the boxes were shipped the same day. I've only ever paid for standard shipping. Even that only takes about a week.
I hate using samples really....where do you put an opened but unfinished sample packet? If you squish it, the stuff inside spill out...and apparently if you expose it to air for too long, the effects of the product diminish....although some Korean samples come in little containers or tubes which are cute and useful!!That was my thought too about sample cos I can only use it once or twice so I cannot judge how effective it is for my skin. I guess Some people want to try out the products first before they will decide to plunge in and buy the actual size products. This girl on reddit posted the pictures of the $6.50 box and she got like 3 samples for each products and the price is cheaper than the mini box on memebox size so i just wanna share

Oh man, it looks like it could be soo great. Esp after that refinery29 article. I am assuming this is ALL skincare though, I would die if that BB cream is included though.
I know that Refinery article (which is recent btw) tipped the scales for me. I think at the very least we will get products not readily available here. A lot of the fermented products that are in the US are really pricey too.
Personally I prefer the 'Standard Shipping' vs Express, mostly because when items ship Express they typically require a signature and I'm never home during the day to sign for them. I've read from some of the folks on the forum will pre-emptively leave DHL a note when they are not home. I have not tried this with DHL specifically but I did do this once for FedEX (they offer a way to print a page from their website and sign that page if you will be out when a certain type of parcel arrives) but the delivery guy didn't even see it hanging on the door knob. Yea, go figure.
Fermented or not, I don't justify buying this box. I mean, yea it sounds cool, but is it any different than lets say, snail creams?..or any other cream we haven't received in any other Memeboxes? In all honesty, I think Memebox needs to settle down a bit, and focus more on customer service, instead of pumping out boxes every other day, the excitement of the boxes will wear off eventually, unfortunately, especially with Lucky boxes and its repeats (some repeats are good) until they release new memebox's. I dunno but I have a really hard time getting them to email me when I need to talk to there CS team and some/ I wait weeks to get a two liner response, which is unacceptable.
I'm always a little wary of their discounts for that reasons. usually their "discounted" prices are close to the regular price ><.
I was actually reading through all my product cards in my memebox's today and I saw that as well. I was like 48$?? that's almost the same price of an Urban Decay Palette lol
I think I may cancel my order for all 3 then. That's shady business, plus I'll be visiting The Face Shop this weekend for a ton of facemasks! I can put that $80-something to better use there, hopefully.
