I have been wanting to try Ipsy, Birchbox, Glossybox and all other well-known beauty subscription boxes but sadly these companies only accepts orders within USA. So I was looking for a new beauty box subscription company that is within /or ships to New Zealand when I came across Beauty Review. One of the girls in the forum have asked for a list of beauty subscription boxes that ships to New Zealand and someone have mentioned MemeBox, so of course, I checked it out straight away!
MemeBox is not a monthly beauty boxes subscription. From what I understand from the website, MemeBox is situated in Korea and they put together different boxes series like "MemeBox", "SuperBox" and "LuckyBox" which features samples to deluxe and full sizes of Korean beauty and skincare products, they don't just offer one box per month. They would offer a few different boxes at the same time and once the box is sold out, it's gone forever!
My first time ordering from MemeBox, I bought the Superbox #1 which cost USD$69.99 + tax (USD$5.77). Stated on their website this is their very first Superbox which contains full size makeup and skincare products from Korea, value at over USD$150.00 and for this box they offer free shipping which could take up to 24 business days for delivery.
My first impression when I received the box was, it's such a gorgeous packaging! Pink and simple ~~ On the inside of the box it has some Korean writings which I don't understand =.= and the package comes with a card inside stating (in English) what products are in this box, how to use these products and how much are the retail prices etc.
I have received a total of seven full size products from Superbox #1, including six skincare products and only one makeup product. A bit disappointed as I was hoping for more beauty products than skincare! But I still love this, read more to find out why ;)

I haven't had time to use this yet but I like that MemeBox have included 3 sheets of mask in this box. Usually when companies only offer one sheet of mask for you to try out, you can't say much?!~ So I am really excited to try these and I will let you all know if this is worth the money!
I am overall very impressed with MemeBox and their customer service! The package takes approximately 7 days to get to me, it package so well and nothing came broken. All products are full size just as it stated on the website. Overall I am happy and I highly recommend you all to try out these beauty boxes if you live in either USA, Canada or Japan ~~
UPDATE: MemeBox returned my email last night and this is what they said:
"From 1st of April, we will only ship to the United States, Canada and Japan in order to improve the quality of our service at this moment".
Oh boo-hoo :( I swear the Americans gets E V E R Y T H I N G! Farewell, Memebox ~ Well I am not sad anymore ;) I have some good news! A new beauty subscription company has arrive in New Zealand, it's called Violet Box, I think they're an Australian company. I placed my order for my first beauty box and it's said to arrive by the end of the month! *dance around so excited*.
