I think that a lot of the full size products are discontinued products or old batches. How else can they get them discounted and include them in the boxes? I have received a few items that I couldn't find anywhere online. Not only from LMB. The Dr Jart toner in birchbox (full size) was also manufactured in 2011.

Do you think all of the beauty boxes are the same? Surely these products have a shelf life.

The beauty products don't have an expiration or manufactured date, only for how long you can use them after you open them, it's hard to say if they are new or not...

That's not strictly true as some products do have a expiration date (a lot of the memebox items have a least). And having had a reaction to one of their masks that WAS past its use by date, I'm now careful to check the packaging before I use the product.

That's true, I was thinking the UK products that I think they are not obliged to have an expiration date. Maybe it depends on the ingredients they have, I am not an expert. You are right, most of the memebox items have an expiration or manufactured date but my guess is that this is a Korean thing.

I am sorry you had a reaction because of an expired mask... I hope it wasn't very bad.

Look Fantastic pre order now open. I'm not ordering. Also cancelled Birchbox & You. I have ordered the new Perfume Society box though http://perfumesociety.org/product/love-scents-discovery-box/

I only did it monthly and the code went through fine.

I haven't received my box/boxes yet though, so we'll see if 2 turn up

Well, great news ... both my GB's turned up today. Received the Jan box and the July box (free box I got using the code) which was lovely!

Not so great news ... the full sized toner in my Jan box totally leaked out and the box is soaked. Everything else seems okay though, hope they can replace the toner, as I was really looking forward to it

Looks like there are a few more Memeboxes available. The fragrance one sounds interesting.

I bought the anti-ageing one! They don't include often anti-ageing products and they are usually expensive. If I am going to use 2-3 of the items, I will be happy!

There's a spoiler for the scent box - its a Rose cleanser so looks like its not actual perfumes but products that have a scent...though they might include a Tony Moly bunny as they've had them in the past

Quite a few new Memeboxes on the site at the moment including 2 valentine's day ones (though if ordered they won't arrive for the big day). Also some value sets - secret key red edition.

My Little Box for February is another collab box - this time with ines de la fressange.

Also found a cute japanese / Korean products box called QBox which has boxes like Memebox AND a subscription. They also do themed boxes like Hello Kitty. The boxes range in price from $24 to $39 but the shipping is a standard $15. It ships from CANADA though so might be hit for customs and with the exchange rate at the moment, its working out about £25 a box! :eek: some really cute items though
