To me, what makes tea tree a let down is the missing product from LJH and the incredibly low value for a more expensive box. I wouldn't have bought this if it weren't for the tea tree item from LJH, cause im not to big of a fan of tea tree to be honest. But I really loved the essence from LJH, and that's my sole reason for getting it. I would rather have spent på 32 (was it?) + shipping elsewhere..

 
I'm not too thrilled about tea tree the more I think about it. Not really sure the value is there, but am glad we didn't get leftovers.

I'm excited about the lotion because tonlymoly I'm Real line has a tea tree one I've been wanting to try, but it wasn't on rrs when I bought a bunch of stuff. So I am happy for this. However, I did just buy the secret key tea tree toner for $4 so I'll just pass one of those onto my mom. Probably the makeup wipes too, I never find them effective. I did just buy the ciracle red spot cream and a mizon blemish after care so I am solid on testing spot treatments now LOL.

I'm going to take this opportunity to pass some stuff on and make somebody else happy!

It was a more expensive box and I did expect something else.. I really thought we were getting one of those LJH mists.

This one says featured in memebox and I don't believe it has shown up anywhere yet:

@@MissJexie @@biancardi Sorry, I know the eBay prices are like that...I just meant that the actual value is nowhere near that. I'm not sure of any sites that ship it directly to the US, but the Korean site that @ mentioned that sells the peeling pads had the tea tree and and lemon toner for like 3,300 won each. I don't have the link saved on this computer, but I believe it was called TicketMonster.ko.cr. I've seen the toner on another site before but I can't recall which it was and the price was only a tiny bit more, if I happen to come across it again I'll be sure to mention it.

I just meant Purederm is like a cheap, drugstore brand. I also love their stuff and would gleefully buy it at retail (and even a bit more), but I just don't think it really adds much value to the boxes. 

 
@@avarier When someone on here (I think @fanserviced) mentioned that product was going to be in a box, everyone started hoping other LJH products may show up in the box as well. I even casually asked in an email about whatever issue I was then dealing with Memebox about, and the customer service responded and basically said yes that it was the tea tree box it would be in. I wish I had saved the email, but that was months ago.

I REALLY think they're changing already curated boxes lately. :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I agree it Purederm doesn't add monetary value to the boxes, but I definitely enjoy seeing them pop up. Even though they're drugstore, like you said, I really enjoy their products. 

I didn't get the tea tree box so I really can't be speaking on if it has value or not as I might feel differently if I paid full price for a box that ended up with quite a low value, but at this point in the memebox game, I would just be happy to not see any CPM leftovers in any of my future boxes! :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I really like the Tea Tree box but I love tea tree products. To me the value is there as I get to try a variety of items that I wouldn't be able to otherwise. Even if they are Korean drugstore items I can't readily get those in my area. An LJH product would have put this over the top for me and I am not impressed that this was strongly implied we would have a product in this box but I'm not surprised it's not in there either.

TicketMonster has it for 3,300 for a 170ml toner: http://www.ticketmonster.co.kr/deal/130106161/104161

What's funny is that I would have been delighted if the box included those amazing-looking microfiber application pads that would allow me to make my own Blithe 7 second pads. ahahaha I'm going to be stuck importing 20,000 won worth of those things (which I'll use, but still).

 
@@MissJexie I've loved all the Purederm products I've tried, and honestly would LOVE it if they were added to the Memeshop. Their retail prices are so low, I can see myself gleefully filling my cart with their stuff to reach the $70 free shipping, hah. And I do love seeing their stuff. But, yeah, it definitely doesn't give a big boost in the boxes actual value.

And I keep seeing these boxes and thinking "Oh, that's not so bad" and then realize that CP2 leftovers showing up in all my recent boxes is clouding my judgement. Back in the days of OMG2 or Moisture Surge, I'd be so upset if I had paid that kind of money for that box. :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Naw--I've always been skeptical that LJH would show up in this box, despite the ardent wishes of fans. I bought those dumb as rocks Dermocosmetics boxes thinking that they would have cool LJH stuff, but nope. The reason I'm thinking that LJH isn't showing up in boxes is because I'm an affiliate and when I look at my commissions, I see that LJH sells even when it's not on sale. Not crazily or anything like that, but that brand is clearly focused on the US and they've honestly made it: the essence is a cult hit now on Reddit (which is basically wall-to-wall kbeauty bloggers), I've seen non-kbeauty blogs mention it (likely because they're lazy and just retype press releases but whatever), and I wouldn't be surprised if the line ended up appearing at some major US retailer in 2014. They and Memebox have no reason to give away what they can sell for a profit at this point. I held out hope, but that body spray is not sold for under 35,000 won anywhere I've seen, so I just don't know that they would include it in a box. Plus, it's been marked as featured FOREVER and it hasn't appeared--I'm thinking it got pulled. At about $35 it's expensive and at 350ml it can't be cheap to ship--I'm going to make peace with us never actually getting that. Memebox makes tons of mistakes, this is just another to add to the list.

Yeah, no idea why Memebox isn't loading the shop with great Purederm and Enesti products. Purederm is sold at Forever21 now, btw. Not everything, but they did have a free shipping sale at some point recently. The Enesti masks from the Aloe Superbox were basic, but really comfortable. I've got a pile on my shopping list.

 
@ Yeah, LJH sells like crazy it seems, so I really didn't expect it to be in the box...Until the Featured in Memebox thing. And that's also back when customer service was pretty good at only giving answers they were somewhat certain of, so I did think at least that product would be in it. At this point, I definitely don't think that tea tree spray will show up in any upcoming boxes...But I sure hope I'm mistaken.

The Memeshop mostly avoids the cheaper brands, but if they can carry tons of those cheap L Vida polishes, can't they offer us some Purederm? Even at a bit of a markup, I think they'd do REALLY well. I just checked Forever21, they have some of the nose strips for just under $4. I can't believe Forever21 sells them. Too bad they didn't have more of a selection at the moment.

 
and don't forget pure smile facial masks - I would love to try all their weird and wacky types!  I also think they are good too :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
I was going to mention this! I actually like the Pure Smile stuff I've used, and I've seen a lot of stuff from that brand I'd love to get. They have a lot of different assorted packs like an assortment of different scented chocolate masks, fruit grommages, and lots of other use one items that look fun. And I do like their sheet masks...And we need to try those jellyfish ones!

 
I would be all over that! I don't love their sheet masks, but everything else has been totally on point.
I haven't used any of the ones I've received from them through Memebox yet, only some yogurt ones I bought forever ago. 

Are their sheet masks bad? Or just sort of meh?

 
Only me that actually hates puresmile products LOL. Only good thing i've tried from them is the cucumber pads, and point pads were quite lovely as well. Didn't even like the puresmile snail hair treatment.. But i am more than picky about my hair >.<

 
As long as they don't try to tell me their sheet masks are worth $3 or that their hand masks are worth $5.
Oh, I would pay at least $5 for those hand masks! lolol They're seriously 8,000 won on the Purederm site, I think--at that point I gave up and started buying them from other Memefans.
