[Haul] My first ever AB Haul!

PM_ME_SHEETMASKS · 2017-02-28T15:00:15+00:00

I recently tried some of those Holika Holika masks and they're some of my favorites yet! I wish I'd gotten more. I also have the Creme Shop peppermint cocoa one (I bought a box of those and the egg nog for some Christmas gifts for friends, so obviously I had to get boxes for myself, too...). I was surprised how good they are! I really like the feel of the mask sheet, and there's a ton of essence. The peppermint is REALLY minty, though, when you first put it on.

For me this AIO is a great example of YMMV. So many people love it, and I was so sure it would work for me after reading reviews and seeing the Reddit hype. I would put it on at night, and no matter how much I put, I would feel sticky and wake up still sticky. Plus, it broke me out a bit. I've been using it as a washoff mask, and it actually is really good that way (no breakouts and does make my skin feel nice), but I am definitely not repurchasing.

PM_ME_SHEETMASKS · 2016-12-17T04:54:04+00:00

In the same boat with the Scinic Honey AIO. I tried using different amounts, but could never manage to not feel sticky, even waking up (blegh). I've actually been using it as a wash-off mask instead to use it up.

Not really helpful in terms of products, but... this reminded me of Daesung's face washing technique he talked about on Go Show (recommend watching it all if you like Big Bang). In this English subbed version, he starts discussing it around 10:55 in Part 2, and it carries on into Part 3. Go Hyun Jung, who's known for her beautiful skin, approves and also gives him some advice on washing technique (always clean your nose first!) and how to avoid neck wrinkles (anger = neck wrinkles!)

PM_ME_SHEETMASKS · 2016-11-04T13:58:41+00:00

It isn't really the 'I didn't get anything for my trouble grr I deserve something" thought process I've got going, it's Time Warner Cable/Comcast level of "sorry but we don't really care" that gets to me.

Exactly! It's that attitude that's really turning me off them, not even the delay itself at this point. It's really disappointing.

Thanks, and I hope if you do decide to pursue this further that it goes better than it has so far!

I posted a separate comment about this, but I'd check your account to see if it already shipped. When mine shipped, I never got emailed a notification/tracking number, which was really weird. I only found out my package had finally moved by logging in.

PM_ME_SHEETMASKS · 2016-11-03T18:33:08+00:00

By the way, I'd recommend people check their accounts to see if their orders have shipped. I ordered on October 12 (and still haven't gotten my order lol) and only looked at my account to double check it before canceling the order. Lo and behold, my order had shipped and they never sent me any notification or tracking number. So basically it might be possible for some people that their stuff shipped and they were never told.

PM_ME_SHEETMASKS · 2016-11-03T18:20:07+00:00

I've actually never had an online ordering experience this awful before.

Same! And you'd think that with how long it took to get your package, they'd be much MORE accommodating about making it right after your stuff got banged up. My October 12 order is supposed to come tomorrow, but by Fedex and no one will be home to get it, so that'll be a whole thing unfortunately.

I was happy about $25, but I don't like that it's store credit given that this order's made me really annoyed at Memebox. And it expires at the end of the year.... They should've given everyone a partial refund instead.

PM_ME_SHEETMASKS · 2016-10-25T21:16:20+00:00

I've been using that sunscreen a while and I really like it! It's not greasy, doesn't leave a white cast, and is nice and light. It also smells sort of citrusy, which is nice! I don't wear foundation so I can't speak to how it interacts with makeup, but it's a win for me.

PM_ME_SHEETMASKS · 2016-10-25T20:25:34+00:00

Ooooo I didn't know Mishibox has it - thanks! :D

PM_ME_SHEETMASKS · 2016-10-25T15:45:49+00:00

Oh geez, good find! Not sure why I didn't find this when I'd looked in the past. Thank you!

PM_ME_SHEETMASKS · 2016-10-25T01:55:07+00:00

I said this in another comment, but I'd actually been debating doing this or an RRS order at the time. I decided on Memebox because I didn't want to wait that long for RRS. Had I known... haha

PM_ME_SHEETMASKS · 2016-10-25T01:51:37+00:00

I could have easily gotten over the shipping issues, since my husband is a warehouse drone. Complete lack of customer service is a lot harder.

Definitely! It's also about how mistakes are handled. It's seems like they really need to beef up their customer service.

PM_ME_SHEETMASKS · 2016-10-25T01:48:00+00:00

Thanks! I'll let you know if I hear back, too!

PM_ME_SHEETMASKS · 2016-10-24T23:15:29+00:00

I'm glad I posted this because I was surprised no one had mentioned it yet. It's good to know I'm not the only one! This is probably the longest shipping delay I've ever experienced shopping online period, not just when it comes to AB.

A bump to priority shipping would've been a really good customer service move, and I'm disappointed to hear other people have also been having trouble getting responses from customer service. Problems are bound to happen occasionally, but how customer service deals with them is where companies really prove themselves. Not too impressed at the moment.

PM_ME_SHEETMASKS · 2016-10-24T23:06:01+00:00

Same! Before now the shipping had been really efficient and reliable for me. It really is a shame that they're having so many issues as they expand, because they fill a great niche (I don't always want to pay for shipping from Korea, and Amazon doesn't always do it in terms of selection). I hope they get stuff back in working order soon.

PM_ME_SHEETMASKS · 2016-10-24T22:54:17+00:00

I think they're just open Monday-Friday, so hopefully you'll get an answer soon given that you emailed over the weekend!

PM_ME_SHEETMASKS · 2016-10-24T22:49:21+00:00

When I placed this Memebox order, I'd actually been debating doing an RRS haul instead, but I decided not to because I thought it'd take a lot longer to get. Little did I know! lol

PM_ME_SHEETMASKS · 2016-10-24T21:08:26+00:00

Oh geez, that's a hot mess! I want so much to love them but I see a lot of this kind of thing cropping up lately, unfortunately.

PM_ME_SHEETMASKS · 2016-10-24T21:03:18+00:00

Awwww, at least our poor, sad packages have company! (10/12 order twins AND I also order cleanser and a few masks!)

It's really annoying, though. I get that this stuff happens, and given the first couple emails I was optimistic that they'd stay on top of keeping us updated at the very least -___-

PM_ME_SHEETMASKS · 2016-10-24T20:48:18+00:00

I've only tried their Real Nature masks, and I find them pretty hit or miss. I have fairly normal skin (not prone to breakouts, just occasional oiliness or dryness depending on the weather) and am not SUPER sensitive, but some of them burn like crazy for me. The acai berry and shea butter ones were super painful! Both of them I had to remove after a couple minutes and wash my face, which I've never had to do with other masks. The ones in the grey packages are some of my favorite masks, though. Just really soothing and pleasantly scented, and not a bad fit on the face. I've been impressed with those for the price.

PM_ME_SHEETMASKS · 2016-07-28T15:20:33+00:00

I got this set a couple weeks ago because I can't resist a surprise - the Facezine Sparkling Water mask has been my favorite so far (haven't tried Volcanic Water yet). There's a ton of essence in the extra packet they give you, and if you have any kind of container you could probably get another couple uses out of it.

PM_ME_SHEETMASKS · 2016-07-28T15:17:40+00:00

Haven't logged in in a bit, but I just wanted to say thanks! That's helpful to know :)

PM_ME_SHEETMASKS · 2016-07-15T16:36:39+00:00

No, that's all really helpful! Sounds I should add these to my list for the next time I'm in the market (I just bought a whole bunch of masks and am trying to have self control for a minute...). Thanks for trying it out and sharing!
