Memebox Spoilers!

Sorry, I didn't know how to do it!

I didn't get any of these boxes. By the time I decided I wanted Empress/Cleo the bundle was sold out and that gave me a sign I shouldn't get them. Granted, I honestly think all 3 are pretty good boxes. I think we over-hype them to ourselves with all the things that COULD be in them, but I always bring myself back down and remind myself of cute wishlist and how horribly curated those were when they are probably the easiest boxes to curate and please customers. So considering I left what these boxes could contain out of my mind, I do think they're nice for what they are. I feel like the 5 item thing is sort of bothersome, as in the past they used to only do that when an item was very large or one of them had an extraordinary value...but I think we're going to start seeing a lot more 5-item boxes unfortunately /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I only got Cleopatra. It's fine. I should be able to use everything in the box, which I guess is what ultimately gives it the value. Although I'm not totally sure how a couple of the items fit the theme (Rose? Chocolate? I like those types of things individually so I'm okay with receiving them but not what I would expect in a Cleopatra themed box)

Thanks ,really like wonder more than cleopatra

I think the Wonder Woman is the best of the bunch. That Benenet ampoule is relevant to my interest. I didn't buy any other them though, and I don't have memenvy.

One girl at a FB group is already selling her Color Boxes - not much info but here's her photo of all the stuff: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=819772988064657&set=p.819772988064657&type=1&theater

I'm getting Cleo/empress. I'm pretty happy with both actually, though I think they both should have had a 6th product. It's pretty clear to me that memebox is mentally all done with boxes, so I guess that's my cue to start buying elsewhere. I think they could have at least thrown in a few masks!

That said, there are a number of things I'm really please to get! I think the bath bomb is a really fun addition, and I really wanted to try the Syn-ake essence. Plus, who doesn't need more soy bio? No one, that's who.

Edited to add - upon further inspection, depending on the ingredients for those creams, I will everything in both those boxes. Which, for memebox lately I would say is a huge HUGE win.

I'm happy with Cleopatra. Not what I expected, but everything does feel in theme to me. I see the effort they made, and all those products will make a luxurious bath and pamper day which is what I expected from a cleopatra theme. I was disappointed in the lack of gold, but that's because they slapped it all over the new thumbnail they made for the box. I should know better! Also I am so relieved there wasn't any makeup!! I was worried.

they are a pale reflection of the milk and oriental medicines.   I thought memebox was doing quality over quantity... cause the milk & OM were quality boxes.

 

[Bunbunny]

I'm kind of annoyed by 5-item boxes that are the normal price + shipping. But I guess that's only because I'm used to the days where it was usually 7 items. They're all... decent. But nothing I would fight for a restock of.

Can someone post pics of the Colour boxes? I know a lot of people weren't expecting great things from that. I got one (Jewel Tones) and all I am asking for is an emerald green, sapphire blue, or amethyst purple liner and/or shadow. That's literally it. Memebox, please don't let me down.

I'm a little bummed about the Cleopatra box, but this is because I make bath bombs, soap, and have a huge BPAL perfume collection. I'm just glad the included perfume isn't for my ladybits or something, lol. I would've preferred the Empress or Wonder Woman box. Oh well! 

 

[Paulina PS]

Someone on FB group posted those for Color Boxes (not my pics, obviously):

 

[mollybb]

Wonder Woman is my first box and I'm happy with it. I'm really excited to try the eyeliner and the ampoule. I'm a sucker for things with diamond in them. They make me feel ~fancy~ haha. Hopefully the concealer is a good color match for me.

 

[Luxx22]

I kind of like the jewel tone box..

 

[Kelly Silva]

The Dr. Young gel from Wonder Woman is a repeat from the Homme box.

 

[Bunbunny]

:////// Memebox, silver is not a jewel. Hot pink is not a jewel tone. White sparkles is barely hitting the mark. Ugh. It's not a BAD box if everything is nicely pigmented. I do like silver. But it's not at all what I was expecting, which wasn't even much. Just ONE amethyst/emerald/sapphire colour is all I was asking for. I guess I'll just have to cross my fingers for the purple powder.

Anyone think it's kind of weird that all three boxes have the same brand for all the items (Pastel = Receven, Electric Brights = Vivito, Jewel Tones = Colour World)? Did they have some kind of deal going on with the companies to have their own box, or what? I think the blue colour from Electric Brights could have gone into the Jewel Tones, and the Hot Pink from Jewel Tones could have gone into Electric Brights.

 

[tiedyedlifestyle]

Yeah that's strange @bunbunny... it's a color box, not a brand box.

Question for those who got the Cleopatra box:

What does the essential oil roll on smell like?  I really like essential oils, but I have a mild lavender allergy.  Usually I'm OK if lavender is low in the ingredients list, but I can't tell without opening it.  And if I open it, it will be harder to trade!

well, they didn't know what a F/W NATURAL makeup was supposed to be either - actually, the descriptions were spot on, but the actual curation was lousy.

Ugh, true. I forgot about F/W. Definitely nothing natural about it, unless disco balls are natural. That's not to say I hated it -- I freaking love the loose powder they gave us -- but it's not what I was expecting. I really need to stop expecting things! (Also I've tried that ddung lipstick three times and it accentuates every single line in my lips. Very disappointing because the colour is actually a nice nude for my skin tone)

Seriously though, silver isn't a jewel. I would totally go for a metallics box (gold! bronze! rose gold! silver! copper!) but that's not what I bought. At least I'll use everything.

I feel really bad for the people who bought the pastel box though. As if we haven't already gotten our fill of Receven powder pacts.
