Memebox Spoilers!

[MissJexie]

They gave bloggers a BAD NAME with that box.   

I think that's why i'm so upset. I didn't even buy the box, but I'm more angry at Memebox than I've ever been because they ASKED US for our choices, used a spoiler of a product that a lot of us suggested to make people THINK that our choices would be included in the box, and then send a box full of garbage leftovers.

I'm furious for my readers who I promoted the box to and who purchased the box. I'm really upset that they put "bloggers picks" as the name of this box and are trying to pass this stuff off as things that memebloggers picked, making us all look like a bunch of idiots. 

I just don't have any words for this situation right now. I want to personally apologize to the people who bought that box because of me promoting it. ugh. so upset.

@@MissJexie After the Thumbs Up thing, I know a lot of the ladies on here said they wanted to give the box a chance, but didn't dare promote it.

I can't even imagine how I'd feel if I actually had promoted this box, based on the concept...Only to find out they didn't actually stick to the concept...Like, at all. (Sorry, but one item out of how many? Totally does not count!)

Well I didn't promote it further than announcing that it existed. A few people commented asking about it and I explained that there was a survey sent out etc, so I feel like people may have purchased the box based on the knowledge that the survery was sent out. I didn't get commission on very many of those boxes, so at least there's that. I just feel awful about this box. I'm just so angry about it lol. I hate that i'm so mad about something like this, but they flat out lied about this box and it seems SO planned. LIke...how convenient that the only spoiler also happens to be the ONLY thing in the box that the majority of the bloggers picked.

Did the other items in the box even appear on the survey?

 

[cfisher]

I really do try to give Memebox the benefit of the doubt. But then things like this happen...And I'm just flailing around trying to think of SOMETHING to make this look better.

But in this case...I've got...Nothin'.

@@LisaLeah Most of the other items hadn't even been released yet, so I doubt it. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Did the other items in the box even appear on the survey?

It was a fill-in-the-blank survey. But it was due 14 September before some of the items even appeared in the Memeverse.

I know that my unboxing will consist of breaking down which of these items could even be submitted on the survey, based on box release dates. And a very sharp knife for the purpose of ritually murdering some of these messes. I don't even know how to use that Ladykin product--I have it and I can't sort it out--it's useless aside from as a sacrifice to the Memegods in hopes that they understand never to do this again.

@ I've had peeling sprays from other brands that work well, but everyone has told me that the Ladykin one doesn't do anything. Like doesn't even ball up much, so I can't believe that ANYONE would pick it.

They gave bloggers a BAD NAME with that box.   

And this is the reason I am so...  I don't even have a word.  Somewhere in between infuriated and irredeemably disappointed.

It's like a peeling gel for your face, only in a spray bottle and for your body.

I used it on my legs not too long ago. It balls up alright, but I don't really feel like it's removing dead skin at all, just...balling up. meh.

 

[LisaLeah]

Well it's highly disappointing for sure.

Most of the contents I gave away or discarded the first time I received them.

I am still trying to figure out what that Pink product is. Does anyone know?

This is what I could make out from the card someone posted on facebook:

Secret Key Color Recipe The Pink Cream
Targts signs of winkles and lines on the face and works to tighten and lift up dry, sagging skin for a more youthful, healthier looking complexion. 
Gently massage the cream all over face until all the capsules from the cream pop and absorb completely into the skin.

I knew after the third Mask box that they were going downhill, but I convinced myself to buy the latest mask box anyway. BOO. Anyone remember how they had the two Leaders InSolution masks as one item? Or the zero cosmetics box, where they had four masks as one item? And cucumber masks? The exact same thing as the orange ones they did last box? And then a hair mask which many people already got from the Global? I'm done with mask boxes. I have plenty from regular Memeboxes as it is. 

As for Blogger's Picks, I only used it to pad an order so I guess I can't complain... except I totally can. What a terrible homage to their affiliates. Does anyone have a close up of the info card? I'd love to see what sort of explanation they have for picking these items.

 

[cfisher]

@@Bunbunny I think the reason they're listed as different items is because they're different types of masks. Like, one is hydrogel and one is a face/neck, and one other one I believe.

Silly, yes.

And I do wish there had been one multipack, that makes a huge difference in value for me. Like the Pure Smile 5 pack? Come on Memebox, we want MASKS.

Thank you!

I believe that was from the Pinkaholic box.

It looks solid. At least I can find people to give that one too.

Wish I could say the same about those neon cooling glosses (I have 4 now)!!!!

Oh my gosh FOUR of those glosses?! I'm so sorry! LOL

I agree the pink cream is at least a decent sounding product, but definitely not something that was a blogger pick. It also might be one of the products that wasn't even released until after the survey was taken. Not sure when the pinkaholic box shipped.

Hey memebox. I took that survey and I am feeling incredibly let down. Not sure most of these products were in boxes BEFORE the survey and if not there is no way these are bloggers pick. I think you may have lied to us Mr Memebox.

Mask box sucks too.

 

[TooMuchElectric]

I actually find that entire group dynamic really irritating, which is why I ignore that it exists until spoiler time.

Srsly. 

MUT is full of such great people, I keep assuming that other online beauty communities are going to be pretty similar. Not so. Not so at all. There's a reason I'm doing the Secret Santa here and not anywhere else, and it's because you are all fantastic. :hugs: 

 

[Luxx22]

Wow that blogger box has everything in it that I have no interest in using... thank god I didnt waste my money.

 

[Luxx22]

the mask box isn't that good, imho either.

the hair treatment was JUST in a global box

not my pics but from FB

I think that was real SNEAKY of them to count the "HAIR TREATMENT" as a "MASK" - Very Greasy!!!! Especially since it was just in global #16....

I already have one of those orange lip tints and I would have chucked the other at the wall. Thank goodness I'm on a memebreak due to my wedding. Thank you memebox for helping me to save money.
