    I stopped ordering beauty boxes because I got bored of being sent things I did not want, the small sizes sent and the repeats I seemed to be getting. I now order boxes that I know the content of and I have ordered 9 Meme boxes after watching loads of reviews and finding they seem much better than what we get here and I can choose a theme to suit me. I would be interested in if anybody has ordered from Meme and what they thought. My first box should arrive soon.

    I've used a few Korean products before (mostly BB creams as they're properly pale enough for me, unlike the BB creams available here), so have ordered 3 Memeboxes, the Dessert, TonyMoly and HolikaHolika and also put a BIG order in with RoseRoseShop who seem to be the cheapest for Korean products (even with the fairly expensive shipping on top). So excited but they won't be here for weeks!

    I have received already the memebox lucky box 9 and the jackpot box. I have ordered the jeju and the blackheads box. I like that I can choose a theme, e.g. I can avoid make up or go for products for oily skin. I received some products that I liked and I am using now and a couple that I will give to friends. I like the novelty of korean products! Some of the products are so cute! And you are not going to get tiny samples with memebox! You can always choose the superboxes, all full size products!

    The new codes for memebox should be out tomorrow!

    Thank you, I am currently on a ban from buying anymore as I think 9 for now is enough. I have the jeju one ordered too, I have a super box but can't remember the name. I have ordered skincare and hair care boxes mostly. I think one of the boxes might contain make up but I tend to avoid make up items as most of the time I don't use it. I do give a lot away to friends and my sister. One was dispatched on the 3rd so that should arrive anytime now and another is being dispatched this week but most have dispatches of October. I have a love of parcels and thought by ordering boxes to come in a few months that this would slow down my ordering, it seems to have had the opposite affect and now I want to order more but I think 9 is a lot and I am supposed to be using things up and not ordering new things but I can't resist a bargain.

    I loved LMB but their actions have really shocked me, they have not only changed the whole way the boxes are chosen but they told us after we had paid. In addition, all objections have been deleted from Facebook and many people have been blocked from commenting. Finally, all messages via their website from me have been ignored and also every day I log in my box is due a day later. I ordered my box once I managed to log in on 7 Sept and it is due on 21. I often have my box by now! My box now shows I have one product so goodness knows what's going on. I am not having any further boxes.

    My favourite is BB which is also subscribe to and am going to now subscribe to Lovelula!

    Mine is the same too - now showing the 22nd. This box will be my last, just not worth the hassle nor do I wamt to support a company that treats their customers so badly or cannot get the basics right. When I get my box my blog review will be bluntly honest!

    I was shocked by the way they reduced the credits for certain items after people had picked them too - I challenged them saying it was unfair but got no reply.

    It is pretty bad that anything questioning them has been removed from their Facebook page, I know we all have had moans about the others but at least they do not delete it!

    I saw them mention 'hundreds' of products.... not seen any evidence of that
