I feel like the Birchbox preview videos are always obnoxious, and I never receive any of the products they show off.

Nope, I'm right there with you!  And even though I know its the latter, I still pronounce it like U. S.
i'm the dumb one who pronounces it as "us" and STILL thought it was U.S.  that doesn't even make sense...

I've read this joke 3 times now and I just FINALLY got it!

I might've done the same thing about the dead scientist joke.  It's ok we'll all get there eventually.

I'm sad to admit it took me reading it SEVERAL times going...what? to figure out they didn't mean "Rhymes" in the normal way. omg. I feel so stupid.

I'm not one to get bothered by the mannerisms of the BB girls in the videos, though I know a lot of people are. With that said, the girl from US Weekly freaked me out BAHAH.

Dead scientist joke?! I need to here this one!

Did anyone else notice that the benefit BE cream was a foil? Didn't look very deluxe at all, let alone something they should feature in a sneak peek video.

SPOILER:

So, some of the boxes are showing up with that Dr. Brandt Camera ready kit.  Do you think it will be including the whole kit?  That looks awesome, but it's confusing because I'm not sure how some boxes could have it and others not even if it is a mini version of the kit.  Either way….I want it!!!!  

 

[afwife8405]

I got that nail polish is my last box (the pink/scarlet version) and it did NOT change color is the sun. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Question for the app trick you all aren't talking about how it has recommended product next to things, right?  BTW, if they have something I would hate to receive marked as recommended, is there anyway to have it unrecommended so they don't think its something I would want anymore.

I watched that If It Fits video *on the bus*.  Yes, I was the weirdo in the back laughing her ass off at something no one else could see. 

And then I got home and watched the Birchbox video, and they said something about the Oscars, and then *my* Oscar jumped up on my lap.  One thing I like about the videos every month:  We get to see the sizes of the minis.  Which brings me to that new benefit product.  Uh, when they held the full-size and sample in their hands, they showed that box thing they usually send out for minis like Benetint, lip gloss, and Watts Up, but then they showed A PEELIE in the closeup.  What?  I don't particularly care whether I get that product (they don't seem to be able to send out my shade in that sort of product), but a *peelie*?  Are you *serious*?  Unless it's a bonus not-listed-on-the-card extra *in addition to* a standard benefit sample, there will undoubtedly be hell to pay.  Peelies have *no business* in a Birchbox unless it's a bonus extra above and beyond the regular five items, and if they sent out a peelie in a box without another benefit product, well, *bad move*.  I really hope it's just a reaction to that other time when they sent out a card advertising something I can't remember (Fake Up, maybe?) when they sent out a benefit sample, and everyone got annoyed because it was literally just a card advertising whatever it was and not at least a peelie.

I'm going to laugh when it turns out to be a picture of the set that's included in the boxes, or something equally ridiculous.

It's back a few pages.  Not trying to get too OT on the bad jokes.

I was wondering about the peelie on the card too. Unless maybe they are sending out a card for each of the 6 shades? Even still, I expect peelies in my Magazine subs, not my BB.

Took a screenshot in the video where Katia is holding up the BE Cream in one hand, and (what I hope) is the BE sample in the other - looks like it will be a tiny tube for those actually getting it, and maybe(?) a peelie for everyone else?  I would also be incredibly annoyed if one of my 4-5 samples was a peelie - in no way would that cover my face!

 

[Bizgirlva]

Yeah the Big Easy sample I was going to say, what the hell is that?

It's at 3:15 in the video, it shows a bar code at the bottom which looks like it's some kind of coupon.

That would be awesome, but I'm doubting it. History with birchbox tells me it might be one random item, or minis of everything, idk.
