Memebox Spoilers!

[OiiO]

Black Friday boxes 4 and 5 start shipping on the 9th December so should be there in time for Christmas with a bit luck! Really hope both are good products..

I only bought #5, and hopefully it's not just a box full of leftover makeup like #3.

Kinda bummed I didn't get 1 and 2 when I had the chance, I was seriously considering them.

@@MemeJunkie Totally agree. There were so many simple ways they could have made this a great box...from black sheet masks to black konjac sponges to all the new black products in their shop (black cleansing oil etc....)

It's kind of like they had to work hard to make it this bad. Would have been easier for them to make it good.

I guess "crappy" is the New Black.

I thought for sure that the Black Oil Cleanser would be in this box and that's exactly why I chose not to purchase it. Like you said, there also a ton of things in the Shop. I think that's what makes this box super disappointing....the ability to curate a great box and choosing not to.

Just received Petite Treasures & Blackout

Spoiler

The gloss is cute and smells lovely.

By some wonderful grace of the MemeGods I got the pale pink blusher (already had warm apricot from K-style 1)

The magic cream I will try out simply because it's expiring soon and it would be rude to giveaway

The mascara is useful but worth $24 my ass and this is not a petite treasure.

Overall I think this box looks sad and empty and should have contained at least one more low cost item. I won't buy any more $19 boxes from Memebox unless they stipulate the amount of items there will be in the box.

As for blackout..

Fucking soap, I am dead set sick to death of the fucking soap (purely personal opinion, but I just don't like using them on my face, If I had wanted this I would have bought them when they had them on sale with free shipping)

The spot treatment I will use for sure, since going on medication for my skin it now only responds to hard core spot fighting products and AHA & BHA has helped me in the past, happy with this.

The shampoo, the colour is black isn't it? (haven't opened sealed box just yet) has it stained anyone's white/platinum hair? I put pastels in mine and I want to use this but I am a little scared about the pigment.

The nose strips.. They better be the best damn nose strips ever!

I'm not sold on blackout.

I spent hundreds of dollars in September and early October ensuring that I would have a wonderful supply birthday boxes and lots to blog about for Blogmas and they have sent out shitty box after shitty box and when they did have good boxes they sold out before I could even purchase them! Ughh the disappointment is real.

@@Zaralis Just the bottle is black. So it won't stain your hair. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Ohhh thank you!! Ok, I'm really pleased with that, I didn't want to open it because I have quite a few shampoos on the go  ^_^ /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Uh, I am way too excited about Dirty Gal and Hair Salon spoilers, I can't sleep. Can't wait to see what's inside! I think we already know that Dirty Gal is on track to be awesome [so far the spoilers look great], and hopefully Hair Salon can measure up /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

The shampoo is clear coloured btw - I've got highlights in my hair and they've been fine with it.

omg I must have a pancake face because I got 1 use out of those muddy girl packs, with just a small bit leftover....although I do pack it on to get the full effects, still...getting 6 uses out of it comparitively...my face must be gigantic lol

Lol, I am pretty sure that is not the case! ^^I just have a comparatively small face compared to people with normal sited faces! ^^ (the disadvantage is that sheet masks seldomly fit me!)

I just applied an even thin layer! When I put on too much, it takes like ages to wash it off!

So if you're wondering what happened to the Dirty Gal and Hair Salon box posts. I moved those to their own individual threads because those boxes deserve their own threads since @ has taken the time to share her photos. Fanservices - since it seems you do a lot of spoiler posts feel free to create new threads as needed to show case those individual boxes. It'll be easier for those wanting to find info on a specific box to find.

Of course discussion of the box spoilers can still take place here but I'd love to see the boxes individually showcased.

I find moving things into their own threads really annoying.

 

[Bunbunny]

I like it! It was kind of an awkward shuffle but to be frank, I don't... really... care about boxes I don't get/want? I really don't like trudging through 2-4 pages about [box I don't care about] to get to spoilers about [box I do care about]. This way I can easily see the spoilers on the first post. Most of the other subscription box forums have threads per month, so wouldn't it make sense for us to have different threads per box?

Also, it's super terrible to try and go through this thread to find a spoiler for an older box. I can imagine that very new members find it frustrating to have a thousand pages (literally, in the main thread's case) to read through.

I like looking at what others get even though I didn't get it. 

I never seem to have an issue finding things - the searching here is pretty good.  shrugs

 

[Bunbunny]

But you can always look at what other people get by clicking on the other threads, right? It's no more clicks than having to go through several pages of chatting about boxes you may or may not be interested in.

And yes, you are right. The search is good. However, try to search for Honey 1 spoilers. You will see that it is very difficult. Of course, that is an older box and people can go to a blog to see spoilers, but do you see what I mean? I think having separate threads is more accessible, and for the price of a few seconds of extra clicking, it appears to me to be more organized like the other subscription box threads.

I know this topic has been discussed before and I'm in the minority with my opinion. I absolutely understand where other people are coming from, though. I can see that two main threads are easier for an individual who has been here a while to keep up with, as opposed to many different threads. As well, I know a lot of people like to throw in all of their box thoughts in one post (especially considering many of us get multiple boxes in one day), which wouldn't be possible with separate threads.

It's a big list of pros and cons for both of those options, really! I'm sure something will be figured out that will make most people happy.

If it's consistent, I can understand.  It gets confusing when just certain boxes have their own threads.  

Sadly, I'm not sure how many more new boxes Memebox will have for us! Having too many box threads is a happy problem I guess!

 

[Alidolly]

Perhaps if a bundle comes out / sent out that a thread could be made for that...so in this case, hair salon and dirty gal. To come there would be pumpkin and anniversary etc...?

I totally understand it.  Back in early summer, I started several threads for each box.  They died quickly. 

I just go with the flow.  The spoilers here are just pics - they aren't indepth reviews or anything like that, so it really is just the initial posting that most people care about.

One thing I will say - the vblogs of these boxes should be separated.  I also wish we could post our own links to our blog reviews and boxings as well....if the purpose is to really have it so people can search and find information on boxes here.

I spend a lot of time on my blog reviews and the format doesn't lead itself to work here as a c&p job - but there I, along with other Memebloggers (I read blogs for my indepth meme information), provide a wealth of information that isn't here on these boxes.  I think makeuptalk is missing out  by not allowing us to do that, but they do allow the vbloggers youtubes, which is strange to me.
