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?
The mask material is papery and I don't find that it fits well. It's thin, too. Enesti is in the same price range, but it's thick and flexible and feels like a cozy sweater.

 
@ I meant the Pure Smile ones.

Wait, I don't even recall any Purederm ones...Google, here I come! 

 
I would love a puresmile holiday set! I've been so frustrated trying to find somewhere that sells a large selection of their products. I either find one that marks them up excessively (like yesstyle) or shipping makes it prohibitive. I did manage to find the lip treatment and hand cream for a reasonable price with free shipping, so I'm happy about that. 

ETA: (just in case of memespies) I want a value set, not a theme box. I wouldn't touch a puresmile themed box. I want to know what I'm getting ahead of time.

I like the purederm facial collagen masks a lot

I've had rice bran, green tea, cucumber & raspberry.  Rice bran was in the the whole grains 1 and green tea was in the green tea box

they look like this

@@biancardi Thank you! I bought a restock of the whole grans and have one of those somewhere or another, didn't realize it was Purederm.

I did look up the Purederm hand mask and it looks vaguely familiar, but I can't tell if it's something I received in a box, or just something that was featured in a box that I saw a photo of during an unboxing.

Oh my goodness. I can't tell the difference between items featured in boxes that I do have and ones I don't? If that isn't a sign of a problem...  :lol:

I like them too - my favourite is the brightening one

 
I think having a "Pure" Value set would be FANTASTIC.    Pure Smile marries PureDerm.      Memebox could make a ton of money off of those because 1.  pure smile & purederm are inexpensive 2.  they aren't readily found in the USA  3.  I think a lot of people like them.

I would purchase it...perhaps even a couple of them!

 
Oh my goodness, I have been looking for a good place to buy Pure Smile sheet masks! I have fallen in love with the Japanese Sake ones and neeeed more! They seriously smell like sake, but are really moisturizing. 

 
Has anyone ordered from Japan Gift Bay? I have a Pure Smile lip treatment addiction and they have the two flavours I haven't ordered (and also have the jellyfish masks @cfisher). The prices are reasonable and shipping prices seem to be discounted. So yeah, I just ordered more lip balm, guess I officially collect puresmile snail lip treatments. 

 
@@blinded I've never heard of them, but thanks so mention for the heads up! I just went to their website and it's not working for me. Be honest, you bought out all the snail lip treatments and crashed the site, didn't you? :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

 
Gah, I'm so annoyed - my OMG4 box turned up and the Shara Shara lipstick has turned brown in the tube.  It's in date but it's most definitely turned.  I know they're cheap lipsticks but really guys?  Really?

It doesn't smell bad or anything, and I swatched it on my hand and it does turn the pop pink fine.  All the same, it's not going on my face.  I'm guessing a duff batch perhaps, or that it was stored badly or something.  It is in date, expiry isn't until March 2016 I think...rather gross though, definitely.

I cut the top off the bullet with a sterile knife and you can see a little hint of green on the inside but it's clearly damaged all the way through

(sorry about the dodgy camera phone picture, I was trying to rush and failed)

I've got a BarryM green to pink lippy (not TMLP, the newer one, Genie?) and it is still as electric green as the day I bought it.  So it can be done, just clearly not that well by Shara Shara!

 
my "yellow" lipstick was orange and broken in the tube.  you can email them - I got 4 points for mine.    People state it is the extreme temps - well, if a product is so delicate that it cannot handle a normal temp change, I don't want it anyway.    When I received mine, there was no extreme temps - no blazing 100+ weather or 0 degree weather.  

I think we got a bad batch, because just about every blog I read about this box, the lipstick is not yellow, blue or green - but another color. 

 
That brown lipstick just doesn't look right! I got mine and it was fine, I got the blue one. It's a shame that you got a bad batch, it's a nice lipstick and stays on for hours...

 
I have emailed but I haven't heard anything back yet.  But really, if make up isn't going to stand up to travel they just shouldn't send it.  If this was the middle of summer I'd be more understanding but it's not.  It's been poorly stored and handled.  And it does make you wonder if Memebox do much quality checking as every blog post I've read bar one has had an issue with them. Surely someone must have spotted it?

It has turned, in hindsight a nice dark nude shade which I might try and colour match before I bin it.  And the swatch on my hand did look lovely.  Not shocking pink like the BarryM one, but a sweet candy pink.  I'm not risking it on my mouth though.  Not if I can't be sure what's made it turn - it could be bacterial contamination rather than a temperature problem, for example. Bad idea to be smearing potentially germy stuff over my face.

 
Oh no...that's not good. I missed these in the memebox but have ordered two from KoreaDepart so really hope they arrive OK. What colours were they meant to be "originally" so to speak (I've green to pink and yellow to mango on order so a bit concerned!). Don't want brown sludge on my lips though could be a chemical reaction rather than bacterial contamination given the colour changing properties.
