Memebox Spoilers!

[cfisher]

I wish there was the LJH in it, but it looks like we missed the bullet on this one.  I don't mind getting another shara shara bee tox item (it is in global 17 too)

They even had a "Featured in Memebox" thing on one of the LJH products, which customer service implied was in fact was in the Tea Tree Oil box when I casually mentioned it at the end of an email. Granted, that ckearly does not mean much of anything....

But I get the impression they changed the curation on that box...

And what makes that a $30 something dollar box, exactly?

That luckybox 11 is a sad excuse for a box imo. I've never tried the Hallabong though...

I am disapointed with luckybox 11. At the end of the year everyone will have in her possession at least one cpm2 without ordering one...

Should I cancel global 18? It will be even impossible to sell these items as everyone will have one!

"Super"lucky box = Super leftovers box more like /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

Not to pleased with the tea tree either. The value isn't there at all. Tea tree were a more expensive box, but it didn't transfer into what they gave us in it,...

I'm so disappointed by the Luckybox 11 and tea tree that I'm considering to just not pick it up and have usps send it back to Korea. Sigh.

Tea Tree looks pretty good to me.  The only thing I'm not excited about is the make-up remover wipes.  I don't know why but I never find that any of those throw-away cloths do anything special for me and they seem like such a waste.  The last ones I tried (because they were a free sample) were not eye make-up safe and burned the skin around my eyes.  Why on earth would any make-up removing wipe not be safe to use around my eyes? That's where I need the removal to happen!

And biancardi, I'm totally going to try that foot soak when my box comes.  I'm on a foot care kick (lol) thanks to my Foot Therapy box /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> - Sorry, have no idea how to tag you in this comment. . . I'm a noob and not too computer savvy

 

[biancardi]

@beastiegirl  Let me know how that works for you!  I also want to try it, but it will have to wait till Christmas vacation - too busy to make a DIY foot soak /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I do not use wipes around my eyes unless they are specifically made for removing eye makeup.  That said, I find facial cleansing wipes to be a god send for me -   I use them all the time and yes, I do cleanse my face, but before I do that, I use a wipe to remove my makeup.  Many times, I will come home from work, use a facial wipe to wipe off the remains of the day and then do stuff - like make dinner, clean, pet cats, watch tv, read a book -- before I start my actual night time skin care regime, which would include actual cleansing.

These are also great on hot days and you just feel icky.

I'm not particularly happy with anything in the Tea Tree box. I would rather receive 6 sheet masks than most of the products in that box. I now feel the true pain of a Meme-letdown. Hopefully someone will be willing to take the whole box off my hands once it arrives.

I took advantage of some tea tree items at memebox and purchased them - including a 5 pack of masks.

They have a few things there - I don't understand why the dran dran tea tree stick wasn't included or the body spray (which I did purchase).    This isn't the worst box, at least they kept with the theme, and I actually will use all of the products...

I bet you will find someone who wants it, but maybe once it is in your hands, you might like it.  When I first saw the citrus box and little mermaid spoilers, I was like meh.   But once I had them, I found I liked them both!

I'm ok with the tea tree box. I like make up remover wipes for vacation, as sometimes I'm too tipsy to really want to take off my make up, so these are tipsy proof /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> it's not an exciting box, but I'll use most of these. Still better than those crappy scent boxes. -_- /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Foot Soak

• 1 tablespoon dried rosemary

• 1 tablespoon dried sage

• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger root, finely grated, or 1 teaspoon dried powered ginger

• 4 cups water, plus extra as needed

• 1 tablespoon baking soda

• 1 tablespoon Epsom salts

• 10 drops tea tree essential oil

• Small ice cubes or crushed ice

Place rosemary, sage, and ginger in a large saucepan with water. Bring to a boil. remove from heat, cover, and steep for 10 minutes then strain. Add baking soda, Epsom salts, and tea tree oil. Mix well. Pour into a foot spa or shallow basin big enough for both feet. Top with extra water and add ice. Soak feet for 15 minutes; pat dry. Follow with a dusting of fragrant foot powder.

This sounds AMAZING! I would substitute lavender or rosemary oil for the tea tree but I think I might actually try this today. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I laughed at the tipsy bit - I can see it now - commercials for cleansing wipes with this tag line

When you are too shit faced to wash your face properly!!

Tea tree looks meh at first glimpse, but then I look at it closely:

- Sheet Mask, always welcome, but only 1

- Purederm Tea Tree toner, looked it up on ebay, it's 170ml and supposed to be 90% tea tree leaf extract, $15 on ebay

- Tosowoong Tea Tree Lotion, this contains 65% tea tree water and 3% tea tree oil, $19 on ebay

- Pro You Tea Tree oil, I just knew this box would have tea tree oil as they are inexpensive, good to have in medicine cabinet or for other fun purposes like @@biancardi foot soak recipe

- Shara Shara spot cream, never tried Shara Shara skincare but this item is $17 in koreadepart

- Purederm towels, cheap but useful

All in all... I think not too high value but all useful /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

... would be better if it contains LJH though, lol

 

[cfisher]

@@rubymoon The Purederm tea tree toner sells for under $4. 

 

[biancardi]

@rubymoon  I found the tea tree oil at the proyou mall - for the smaller size (which I am assuming we are getting) it is 20,000 won - which is 18.00 - that isn't that inexpensive!!  must be miracle tea tree! lol

 

[MissJexie]

@@rubymoon The Purederm tea tree toner sells for under $4. 

It does sell for $15 on ebay, though, like she said it does. 

I can't find it on ebay for under $4.

(ps: who does sell it for under $4? I'd like to save the link so I can go and pick it up the next time I do an order!)

I actually like Purederm products. Everything I've tried from them so far I've enjoyed, so no one discount them just yet! The toner might be awesome! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[biancardi]

@@rubymoon The Purederm tea tree toner sells for under $4. 

on ebay - it is around $15.00.    is there another site that you are looking at?  Cause if I like this, I would want the $4.00 price tag!! lol

Also, the tosowoong is retailing on ebay for under 10.00

 

[biancardi]

@@MissJexie great minds on the Purederm toner!! lol

 

[MissJexie]

@@MissJexie great minds on the Purederm toner!! lol

hahha totally! I was like, "omg $4?? I'm so there!" Because ebay sellers normally do free shipping, I was all over that! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Also FYI to anyone that might be interested- I made a purchase recently from Tosowoong's ebay store recently and it was a fantastic experience. My mom LOVES their Neck patches, so I bought a pack of 10 They shipped from Korea, arrived in about 2 weeks and they included lots of samples! Very happy and recommend them if there's anything in particular you like or are looking for from their brand!
