**This post was updated twice to reflect the changes Memebox has made over the years.**

**Well, its as if Memebox has turned a 180 and changed themselves completely. They are no longer a shop, as they no longer sell products themselves. Disappointing, considering a lot of people (like us) relied on Memebox for their k-beauty products. However, sometimes changes are needed. Maybe, they'll change back again in the future. Who knows.

*This post should really be renamed "What Was Memebox" or "Memebox History" because Memebox recently changed, completely. Instead of going through this post and updating the changes, in case they decide to change back, I'll just write a short note here on the changes. 

For one, Memebox broke up with its international customers. They no longer ship internationally. The only places they do business in are China, South Korea and US. Each country has a separate headquarter and they do not communicate or work together. Which means if you live in the US, your boxes will be shipped from the US headquarter. You cannot order a box from either the SK headquarter or the one in China, and vise versa. 

Memebox is no longer spoiling us. No more $23 boxes or box bundles with express shipping for only $6.99. Prices has gone up and value has gone down. Why? Because they are curating boxes from South Korean companies already located in the US, and the prices they can get is no doubt more expensive than the prices they normally get in South Korea. 

Lasty, the Meme-hype is down and other businesses are stealing their show. If you follow K-beauty like I do, you might have noticed a handful of new k-beauty/ Asian beauty subscription boxes popping up here and there. No doubt there will be more soon. People are noticing this great opportunity and taking advantage of the fact that the Meme-hype is down and their customers are looking for new places to shop. It's not just other subscription boxes, it's also other online Asian beauty stores, who are constantly having amazing sales. Such as WishTrend, Innisfree, and many more.

It occured to me a couple of unboxings ago, that typing out what Memebox is every time can be repetitive to some of my readers. To fix that, I decided to make this post. So, if you are here and reading this now, it means you are either curious about Memebox or just bored and decided to check out this page. For whatever reason you are here for, you are here now. So let's learn about Memebox.

My first 2 Memeboxes.

General Memebox Information

Memebox Global is a fairly new start-up company, who sells beauty boxes filled with Korean skincare and beauty products to customers around the world. They have 2 headquarters, one is located in Korea and another in California. Memebox Global is located in California and is a branch off of Memebox Korea. Although both headquarters are separated by location and also target different costumers (Memebox Korea only sells in Korea, while Memebox Global sell boxes globally), most boxes are still shipped out from Korea. Since that's where their main warehouse is located at.

Memebox is pronounced "Mi-Mi box" and not meme like those internet memes. It's a non-subscription mystery beauty box that's packed with a range of either skincare, makeup, hair care and body care products, or a mixed. Boxes are usually released weekly and each mystery box comes with a description to hint at possible products inside the box. Occasionally, there will be a spoiler or two released for a certain box to show a product or 2 that will be included in that box. There's always a shipping date given for each box. The box can ship out a week or 2 after you purchase it or a month or 2 after the purchase. It all depends on the date pre-set for that box.

Memeboxes generally cost $23 plus shipping which is a bit more than other beauty boxes like Birchbox or BoxyCharm. However, they generally only send full size products (see picture above). The total product value of 1 memebox is generally over $100, which is way more than the total product value in either Birchbox or BoxyCharm. Since it's not a subscription, you get to choose which box you want to purchase and when. Some boxes will sell out faster than others, so customers will need to check the site for new boxes releases. Memebox does also have a Facebook page that updates when new boxes are available.

If you are a Korean beauty lover or is someone who want to try Korean beauty products but don't know where to start. Memebox would be the right one for you. A lot of Memebox products are of good quality and you get way more than you pay for. While the wait for boxes to ship can be a pain some time, there's a whole community of Memebox lovers on both Facebook and Makeuptalk to ease the wait.
