Beauty News: Introducing the Korean Birchbox – Memebox

This past year has seen many trends, most noticeably the subscription box; from Birchbox, to BarkBox, to Blue Apron, there seems to be a box for every category and interest. Being a huge fan of beauty boxes myself, especially Birchbox and New Beauty’s TestTube, I was even more thrilled to hear about the newest addition to the box family that sources and ships products directly from Korea!

Memebox has been operating in Seoul since 2012 but made the move to Palo Alto, California late last year after seeing how successful they had become. The great thing about Memebox is that they sell specially curated boxes of full-size and deluxe sample-size products, similar to what Birchbox and the others offer, but amazingly without the monthly subscription. This allows you to select the boxes that most interest you at no risk. You pay for what you want. Memebox carefully curates only the most trusted, best loved Korean beauty products that have a positive following. Being that Koreans are known for their fast paced beauty market and cutting-edge technology, it is an excellent opportunity to get in on this action here in the states and discover some brands that we may not yet have tried, gaining some access to Korean beauty and cosmetic trends.

There are 3 category of boxes: the original box series, Memebox Global, includes full- and sample-size products that address a wide range of skin types and concerns, while the Superbox is packed with full-size products geared toward a specific issue, like anti-aging or acne. The last type, the Luckybox is a selection of the most popular items from previous shipments. Of course, you don’t know what’s inside each box, but I find that to be the fun element of surprise and discovering something you may not have picked out yourself. You also have the option to buy individual items like you would on any other e-commerce site at a fairly competitive price.
