Memebox is Korea's No 1 beauty box service that was launched in October 2013 in the USA. In each of their boxes, it contains 6-8 Korean products for you to try. The products they include are usually ones that is not very easily purchasable oversea. Some are deluxe samples and some are full size items. The products are usually ones that are popular in Korea or have been featured in programmes such as 'Get It Beauty' or others.
Here is the description from their website:
The original Memebox comes packed with 4-8 full sized products and deluxe samples, carefully curated from our experts in Korea to give you opportunity to experience the widest selection of beauty products. Boxes in each Memebox series always contain the same products, and contents vary from hair, body products, to skin care and cosmetics.
They do ship internationally. Here is the link to the places they ship to.
Price
Each Memebox costs about $23 excluding shipping. The shipping to each country is different. In the UK it is $6.99. There are also other boxes they sell such as their Memebox Special, Lucky Box or Super Box. Prices may vary between those boxes but the standard Memebox is $23. These prices are very reasonable since the products they include usually is three times that amount or more.
Memebox is not an monthly subscription unlike Glossybox or other beauty box companies. You choose which one you want to purchase and when you want to purchase it. However, they do run out quite quickly therefore you have to look out for them. They usually start selling boxes quite early even though that the shipping date is a few months back. But once it is time for them to ship, it will only take about 5-7 days to reach you.
Anyway, enough background information. Here is the unboxing of the Oriental Medicine Memebox I bought.
