I didn't send them a message, but was curious to see what they are saying in response to Western products included in our boxes.

If this is a recurrent thing, I will stop ordering :/ 
The rest of the box (seven items)  was all Korean, the Loreal item was only one item

oh no, licorice gives me headaches /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />!

Thanks for letting me know, I'll give that away /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My box isn't here yet, my mom missed the mailman yesterday. I'll go retrieve it from the post office later.

Lots of people like it, it's close to the smell of walnuts I think. It's in tons of face scrubs. I know there's one at Sephora, Ole Henriksen, smells like that. The white glamglow smells like it too.. I think it's nasty, but then again I'm allergic to most fragrance notes, but tons of people love it lol!

I absolutely hate the smell of licorice, but I love the smell of patchouli. since both of the scents are in this oil, I have really conflicting feelings on it. Granted it's not really supposed to be used as a "perfume" but as aromatherapy. On the package it says it's a synergistic blend of oils to amplify your concentration during your yoga routine. As much as I dislike licorice, maybe there's something to this oil, because it's actually fennel that is causing the oil to smell like licorice. I've been reading up on the benefits of using fennel in aromatherapy and it seems that it really does suppress appetite (probably because it smells awful lol) so I'm interested to see it's other benefits etc. I'm willing to smell like a licorice-eating-hippie while I do yoga, and then rinse off the oil in the shower. Curious to see if it does anything noticeable. I do appreciate memebox adding something so interesting into the box, though!

I really like it. Not keen on patchouli normally but love aniseed and liquorice.

I kind of like the smell. Now fennel and licorice are not my fav. . . And I am not a patchouli fan either. . .i kind of like the combination and it doesn't in the least turn me off! And Lord knows I need an appetite suppressant at this time!! So I am willing to give it a try and take the dive into Memeboxes idea of aromatherapy!

I am trying it out but the first 15 minutes it just smells of that darn licorice and it definitely does not stop you nibbling on sweets /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I kept sniffing mine trying to convince myself it wasn't that bad but dang that licorice scent was coming off pretty strong. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Won't lie, my initial reaction was that it smelled like an armpit :/

Still excited about trying the items in this box out! Though I am a bit disappointed with the foils, especially now that I have them in my hands. And I'm not too crazy about the Espoir color I got. But overall I'm still liking these boxes!

Did anyone else thing that the Lipozene smelled awful? When I took it out of the box, I was hit with that smell (even unopened) and I'm not sure if I'll be able to wear it for long without washing it off. Also, are those exercise suggestions on the back of the packaging? Ha!

The roll on kind of reminds me of Lolita Lempicka. No? lol  

Superbox #1 is on its way see how long it takes to get to me.

Oh, I agree, I definitely agree that they are awesome for including something so interesting. I mean, as it is Korean stuff is interesting, but the aromatherapy is really cool. I just wish I wasn't allergic to it, but my mom stole it anyway, she was like OMG GIMMEEE and BAM haahha. So someone is happy~ /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I can't remember, did that one have the free expedited shipping or not? Either way, I kind of can't believe that it is still available on the site! You might get your box before it sells out!
