Congrats!!

I keep being tempted by the MEME boxes but the shipping puts me off!

I was put off by the shipping initially but it isn't that bad. I choose economy at $6.99 which is only about £4 I think, and each time it's been here in 8-9 days, never the 15-25 days they advise!

The shipping cost or that you receive the box after two months? lol! Shipping is $6.99 and there are around $5 off codes from bloggers that brings it down. For me waiting so long is a problem but so far it has been worth!

I got 3rd place and it fit in one box but I think it's because some of the items were high value!

Congratulations!!! I am happy people from the forum got good places so far!

Are the codes a one per account thing or could I use different codes different times?

There are two codes you can use per account, a 4-digit one and a 6-digit one. There are different 4 and 6 digit codes online. Bloggers post them. They renew them every month. At the moment you can use the August ones, memebox said that the september ones will come out next week.

Then there are codes for $10 off if you spend 100 or something like this. If you register now you get two memepoints worth $2.

I have a $5 code PU9SUS (it was an August code but should still be valid if they've extended them), but there are also some shipping discount codes on the homepage currently if you buy 2 or more boxes - http://us.memebox.com?acc=43baa6762fa81bb43b39c62553b2970d

I know it's not much postage for where it's coming from and it's probably psychological but I'd really prefer the boxes to cost more and just include the shipping! I don't know why!

Got my BB today.
I got:
Benefit – It's Potent (3g)
Agave – Oil Treatment (4ml)
Model Co – Lip Laquer 'Viva' (looks about half sized)
Skin&Co – Sicilian Light Serum (5ml)
Urban Fruit - Perfect Pineapple (snacky stuff.. already gone :P)
And a BB photo clip thing.

Oh and a beauty blender sponge thing - it comes with instructions which explain why the other ones I use are rubbish :P I'm supposed to wet the sponge first! Whoops!

Oh and it all came in a little drawstring canvas bag - cute.

Not bad. Not brilliant but not bad either
Still not sure what I think of getting non-beauty stuff in a 'beauty box' though.

My 'My Little Box' came today! It's not bad, but I'm not overly impressed either. Like I said in a previous post, I don't know if I'm getting Beauty Box overload or it just takes more to impress me nowadays?

In a cute little bag came a 30ml Laura Mercier Primer, a 10ml bottle of Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Oil (I have loads of these from various beauty boxes already!), and a Highlighting pen. Also got a cute notepad and some stickers, and a pouch thing which I'm not too sure what it is? It looks like a net book pouch? Too small for a laptop and too big for an ipad, but then again not many people have net books. My other thought was that it might be a case/mat for your straighteners? I couldn't see anything mentioning what it was.

I'll keep my subscription for it, because you've got to give these things a good try haven't you?

So glad I cancelled BB. I cancelled them months ago now, and I haven't seen a good one since.

I know what you mean about the P&P. It's like when you see something advertised for say £50 and you think that it's too expensive, but then you see something advertised for £49.99, and it doesn't seem as bad! :rotfl: The tricks retailers play!
