Memebox Spoilers!

[Renata P]

Oh, @@cfisher don't worry at all. We all know how exact Memebox information is. I am not surprised. Disappointed -yes, but not surprised.

lemon zest...I am sure I have added it, it just isn't the standout ingredient for me in a pumpkin pie - cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves - that is what I remember..I also add ginger too - I chop up crystallized ginger and roll it into the crust

 

[cfisher]

Woops, typo. I meant lemon verbena.

Unless I'm mistaken, lemon verbena is in no way related to the lemon tree, it's just named that because of the scent, right?

Although, even if it had just been regular lemon hand cream...It still seems like they're just sticking to the theme rather loosely. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I wrote them an email last night because my shara shara green tea seed oil balm (the one that expires in 7 months) is rancid.  It doesn't smell like lime, but of old cooking oil.  I did ask them that if they are going to put these types of items in boxes, they should also put that in the description of the box. Because I don't want to purchase a box that has soon-to-be-expired items in it.

I also told them that memebox used to be ashamed of putting these types of products in their boxes in the past. 

I noticed the same thing with the green tea seed oil. It smells really gross. Not a fan at all.

This was back in the days where I actually had faith in Memebox.

I've noticed that lately whenever customer service tells me something, if I mention it in a thread I'll always add things like "not that it means much of anything, but...."

Now I feel like them telling us something means there's a 50/50 chance it's even based on truth.

I'm not liking the odds anymore!

@@cfisher It's not your fault, they are very unprofessional. Making no comments at all about the contents is better than claiming that all products will be new! It doesn't look like an amazing anniversary box... The pumpkin box is better!

I know. I actually feel bad that Gwen even bothered, considering everything. 

I used to be so determined to try to figure out the inner workings of boxes.

I've come to the conclusion that one must simply embrace the Mememadness. 

(And seriously, I can't believe I canceled the Pumpkin Pie bundle. ...And I ordered a second anniversary box, on top of that. Yikes!)

I wish I had gotten the pumpkin box instead!

It's not your fault, cfisher! Don't worry! ^o^

Haha, I feel the same way. I wish I had just stuck to the original value set I ordered, at least.

No orange lipstick or blush or eyeshadow to be seen! 

How sad that they were so careless with their anniversary box.

And thus continues the pattern where every box I don't purchase turns out awesome /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> (rose, chocolate, brighten & correct, pumpkin, UGH SO MANY MORE) 

You'd think that Memebox would put more pizzaz into their own anniversary box...but seriously? Only 5 products? One of them being a repeat? And nothing that stands out? :S 

I noticed the same thing with the green tea seed oil. It smells really gross. Not a fan at all.

I had samples of innisfree's green tea seed oil and it smelled pretty funky too. I don't have the shara shara to compare it to but I wonder if that's just the smell of green tea seed oil? It is really off putting though...

i think they dropped a bollock on the 1st birthday anniversary box, tbh, i mean to keep old customers and the future newer customers joining all box subs do good boxes for xmas ,birthday,valentines generally, this should of been a blow out full 7 or 8 products full sized ,even if they had added a freebie i am memebox product ,(assorted product), as an extra would of done them more good, but its sadly lacking wow ,might change once in my hands but you know.

I think this is the first time where I just knew that once I received the box, my disappointment wouldn't change. The mask thing looks like it could be interesting. That's about all I've got.

This is just wrong. Anniversary box? Repeats? Little value? 5 items? $29 box?

Everything is wrong with this. 

 

[marjojojoleintje]

Lol I love the pumpkin box but that's not a surprise at all for me..

because pumpkins are amazing and just amazing!

So a box of pumpkin cosmetics is just epic /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

The other box is a sad way showing thier anniversary with the previous product.

But memebox keeps dissapointing us so also not a big surprise haha

I thought it was that as well, but there are others who have this and state it does smell like lime (which is what the description states).

the hand cream says lemon and verbena so I think they are separate...

I think all of the good boxes are currently for Memebox China.   Hopefully, this will come around to Memebox global, but the memeshine is dull right now for me....

I am disappointed in having a 7th product that is expiring in less than a year out my last few boxes.

The anniversary box is really disappointing. I expected it to be amazing since it's supposed to be such a special occasion for Memebox. The products are kinda bland, nothing really special. I like the Thanksgiving boxes much better and those were only $23 instead of $29 /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[MemeJunkie]

I was going to buy another Pumpkin box during the restock but wasn't sure they would pull through with the pumpkin theme. Although I have NEVER put lemon in any form in my pumpkin (anything) I'm happy with this box. Pleasantly surprised and yet disappointed for them that this box is better than their own first year anniversary box. Perhaps it's all just a matter of opinion and preference but I was expecting something a little more WOW! to celebrate that first year and the bucket loads of money we've thrown at them.

 

[cfisher]

Honestly, the fact anniversary was $29 really just bothers me. Like, it's no better than the average $23 box. (And yeah, it's an anniversary box, it should be better than the average $23 box!)

I feel like they planned on doing something great, and then at the last minute their team was like "Umm, I guess we better get started on that anniversary box, it has to ship out tomorrow. What random stuff can we pull from the warehouse?" 

 

[crazysweet]

The anniversary was my last box and it's kind of not that great.. My enthusiasm in Memebox has died down.. Probably won't purchase any boxes without great consideration. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
