Yeah, they don't bother me in the slightest...I honestly find just about all youtube videos of this type (previews, reviews, tutorials) to be awkward to watch and I would find them even more awkward to film, so I think they do a good job. 

If they were less enthusiastic, people would just say "See? They don't even care about the products, how can they expect us to??" lol

Traditionally, it's defined that way in the Gregorian calendar because March 20th and September 22nd are supposed to be the equinox while June 21st and December 21st at the summer and winter solstices. But based on cognitive grouping and actual temperature/weather (particularly the last), the seasons are more like Dec-->Feb, Mar-->May, Jun-->Aug, Sept-->Nov, whereas on an actual calendar, the seasons are closer to Jan-->Mar, Apr-->Jun, July-->Sept, Oct-->Dec which, if you live in an area with actual season is probably not what you experience.

Also, pssh. Everyone knows people from Harvard can't count. You should be ashamed to be surprised /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I am not overly excited by any of the products in the sneak peak video. I would like to see some different brands in the boxes. I'm  most interested in the Mally eyeliner and (oddly) the Malin Goetz deodorant. I hope I do not get any Miss Jessie's samples *fingers crossed* I am thinking about breaking up with BB for a while after this month. I already broke up with Ipsy and recently got on the PopSugar train... 

i think the malin + goetz deoderant is a new item in the store and not a sample they'll be sending out. i would've liked to try it too. i love that brand.

Thanks for posting this!! I might be in the minority but I want the foot wipes! I hate feeling that my feet are filthy.

The videos are pretty cheesy, but I think about how horrible I'd look and sound in a video, so gotta give them props for putting themselves out there month after month. Is it weird that the product I'm most interested in is the deodorant?? I've enjoyed the malin+goetz samples I've received in the past and I'd love to switch to a more natural deo. But looks like that's a store addition, not a sample, bummer.

 

[Moonittude]

I hope I get a Miss Jessies hair treatment, or a totally awesome box with none of the listed items from the video.

None of the products in the video are super exciting for me. I wouldn't mind getting most of them, just nothing I MUST have. 

I am, however, expecting to get the Beauty Protector spray. Mostly because I just finally ordered the full size after not getting it in my box so undoubtedly it will finally show up

I want the feet things too!  Going to Aruba in a few weeks, and those would be great to get the sand off.

 

[AshJs3]

I'm using the CC cream from last month's box today. So far it's pretty good! We'll see how it holds up by the end of the day.

I was just in Aruba 2 weeks ago!! Great place for scuba diving and snorkeling...The feet wipes would be great! I hope you have a fantastic time /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

And I agree. I don't see where the products tie into the theme. Foot wipes? I don't know...

Wiping my feet is always the last thing I do before I leave the house, duh. 

(Actually, I wouldn't mind getting them--we just moved into an older house and we are doing some wiring and there is always crap on the floor, I wash my feet before bed /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> )

I want the eyeliner and the lipstick since I didn't get it last month. Some of the other stuff looked interesting too, but not anything that I absolutely need. Ipsy looks like it's going to be better than BB this month, but I think it's still going to be a decent month. Anything will be better than my BB last month.

 

[kawaiimeows]

I guess foot wipes make sense to me because where I live, sandals are worn daily, and my feet do get dirty because of it. They're not the most attractive sounding sample (vs getting like lipstick or something) but I can see them coming in handy. Heck if anything I could use them to clean my leather sandals.

I just wanted to mention one thing:

I really like they're partnering with Ann Taylor this month. I liked the Madewell partnership, but Madewell -- while being great quality -- is also extremely expensive considering the style of clothing they sell (basically like Anthropology-price but UO-style except a less evil). I ended up getting a super cute dress from there that I'm basically terrified of wearing because it's so expensive and specialty.

Ann Taylor, though, is more office worker friendly price and style wise, and they do have cute things. So I am very excited about this. Hopefully we'll be able to get a coupon and combine it with one of their 40-60% flash sales /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Ditto. I don't wanna to complain but I have a feeling (trying not to jump into conclusions here) that I might get the worst boxes. 😕

 

[Trystelle]

Got the lipstick last month and everything else looks good with the exception of the foot wipes.  I hope to get the eyeliner because I have so much skin care already.  If not, I finally ordered some of The Balm products from Hautelook, that and Ipsy should get me through the month.......maybe!

I feel like the Ann Taylor offer would have worked better with last month's SUITS theme. But that's my opinion - I'll definitely use it.

 

[Steffi]

Meh, not excited about anything, but hopefully this'll be  better than the box I got LAST August.  Remember the horrible box that had mostly tanning wipes in it? Yep.

I live in a climate where you can pretty much wear sandals year round. So I'd also be thrilled.

 

[normajean2008]

I hope I get some foot wipes!  I hate shoes, so between bare feet and flip flops/sandals, I go through baby wipes like toilet paper.  They don't smell the best though, I'd love to try these wipes featured!

Also would like to try the eyeliner and lipstick.
