It's getting so hard to guess which boxes will be good or not.  I didn't buy any of the recently delivered boxes, but if I'd gotten K-style, I'd be so pissed.  I still love OMG though.  I just did my review of OMG 3 and was reminded of just how awesome I think (most of) those products are.  I wouldn't have been upset with OMG 4.  

What really surprised me was how good the Thanksgiving boxes turned out to be.  I thought they would be the absolutely easiest place for Memebox to dump a bunch of leftovers, but they didn't.  The saved all the crap for MCW4 and K-style? SO unpredictable.

 
I really think its the fact that I don't see anything new in it, and it's just not cute, I know people were upset with the dolls, but at least it was curated, I feel like some business consultant has been pulled in and has said right we need profit, just chuck what we have in these boxes and we will restructure the box releases.

No thought put in and no curation. I have my fingers crossed for the more 'themed' boxes that don't allow such ambiguity - but oh my lord I've ordered luck box 11 I'm scared (pleaseeeee prove me wrong memebox)

 
While I guess I wasn't surprised to see such crap in the MCW4 box after the last 2, I was shocked that they put a repeat from MCW1 in there.  I mean, you have to assume that people are buying the series and not just one box.

The Memebox gamble, lol. As much as we all try to analyze the box descriptions and the shop's inventory to guess whether a box is worth buying or not, it rarely seems to turn out as we expect.

 
O..K...my thanksgiving bundle just arrived in Leipzig, Germany!! Hoping its just a stopover and not on a sightseeing tour (though a postcard would be nice!)

Edit - I'm in Scotland so a bit of a detour

I do have CPM2 coming with my Innisfree since I didn't want to wait for snail mail lol. At least CPM2 has that serum and appletox. The K-style though, Ugh, I feel like I wasted $23.
I ordered them together too because I THOUGHT I would get my Innisfree box in a hurry... before the big delay.

Memebox sucks right now in every possible way!!!

 
I only bought MCW4 from the spoilers today, and while I'm disappointed, I think it could have been worse....far worse. At least the repeat items are giftable, but honestly, I cannot believe they put the candycane gloss in there when it was in the first box...FROM THE SAME SERIES. I don't get it at all. Such a let down. Looking at the picture of the items...it looks like the box is practically empty. Such a shame.

I don't care if they release cute wishlist boxes in the future. I'm completely done with them. They could have put the tonymoly bunnies in there, but they put them in the thanksgiving boxes...how this makes sense I have no idea.

Ugh...I'm just...ugh.

So done with OMG/K-Style/Cute Wishlist. Hopefully Memebox is too.

I've been so good at it so far though! I've only gotten 2 duds (in my opinion) out of all my boxes. But I never would have guessed that those owls be that good. Getting tricky, memebox....

 
Not my pictures, from fb.

It seems strange to me that recent boxes are so much better than ones they had a lot of time to curate. The mouthwash in this is silly, but the rest of the box isn't terrible. It's not flashy and exciting, but it's a solid box.

 
i think even paul would use all that. Have to admit instead of that I went and got the birchboxuk man box and tbh he would be happy with either

I agree.  The mouthwash is ???? but my husband will use it, so I'm not upset about the inclusion.  Everything else is good, and it's pretty dang close to what I hoped for out of this box.  I'm happy.

 
Nice box overall...but the Nexcare mouthwash confuses me. Not because it's mouth wash, but because it's Nexcare lol It looks really out of place. I didn't get this box because my fiance is a little too "meat and potatoes" in regards to life- less is more for him. It's impossible for me to convince him to use a moisturizer because he "feels greasy and shiny" whenever he uses one lol. It looks nice overall though...much better than the last box for men they did!

I feel like these boxes were curated before they launched, given the short shipping date. I hope they continue this pattern! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
Everyone was complaining so much about OMG not having out-there products, looks like they got you there! I actually really like OMG. Can't say I would use a lot of it, but the BB gel looks interesting and the masks I would just keep to show my friends.

K-Style is a disgrace, ugh. Looks like a $15 monthly sub box, not a $23+$7 shipping box.

I like MCWL! It's not 1st edition level cute, but waaaay better than 2nd and 3rd editions, and all the items are useable or easily giftable.

Surprisingly pleased with Thanksgiving 1&2 and the Homme. I think most men would be pleased to get a mouthwash. More than one item of each kind would probably elicit "my man is lazy, why would he want TWO face creams/cleansers/ampoules"? Weird brand to pick from, though.
