i had to watch it with no sound too and had NO idea what was up with that little box.

but i like the idea! i got an essie shade in my birchbox last month very similar to a zoya polish i had just gotten so i'm gifting the zoya to my aunt when i'm home for thanksgiving, i'll put it in that little box for her, she loves touches like that.

Someone really should have mentioned it to her before filming and loaned her a sweater that actually *closed*.  I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't even realize how it looked.  It reminded me of the time I wore a certain Beck t-shirt to a friend's birthday party.  Two turntables and a microphone.  I didn't even *notice* the placement of the turntables -- hello, nipples! -- until he *pointed it out*.  (Fortunately, all of the guys there were gay or friends who knew they couldn't get away with any crap where I was concerned, so I wasn't creeped out.  Just annoyed that I had been wearing the shirt for a few *years* and hadn't noticed before anyone said anything!)

I really hope BB gets better soon! I subscribe to 6 boxes and it is definitely the weakest of all of them, I think. If November and December aren't good I will probably be canceling. The samples are soooo tiny. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Wow. Almost everything in that video looks pretty good to me...and I don't think that I have gotten any of them in a box yet. I do have that Oscar Blandi, but I certainly wouldn't mind another. I would love love love to get anything One Love Organics.

Same! I received it in a BB a looong time ago (>6 months ago) and it remains to be the only product I wouldn't mind a double of! Used up my points for a beautyblender, otherwise it would have gone to the full size of that! Great product.

Well kinda happy for chocolate instead of the luna bars or tea. Just my luck I will get another luna.

I got the Mox last month - why feature it this month? Same with the hair powder these are past month items.

Really hoping I get spared a perfume sample as well 5 out of my 6 came with one so over perfume samples.

I really hope I don't get another Mox lip balm. I get 2 boxes and I got one for October.. hope November doesn't have another. I really want to cancel because I've been disappointed in the past months but that whole "what if I miss out on something awesome next month" kills me!! I'll probably just finish up the year and that will be that. I've also been waiting for more awesome products to appear in the shop so I can use my points. I remember last year they had a couple of the Stila Holiday sets, crossing my fingers for something like that.

Oh excited about the preview. I did get the hair powder and the Mox lip butter last month. They are great products and I wouldn't mind getting more.

Must...resist...urge...to get...second...subscription...

Really hoping along with a lot of you, that this box will improve my feelings towards Birchbox! I really am hoping for the luminizer from Stila...been wanting to try it but don't want to buy it.

Nothing really made me excited for the box, but hopefully I get at least one interesting thing.

Same here.

 

[skylola123]

Yes!! So happy they are sampling the Mox lip butter this month again...I wanted that item so badly last month hopefully I get it this time around.

Really hoping for the Mox lip butter or Oscar Blandi hair spray /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I don't understand what the...

One Love Organics thing is supposed to be... a serum for the body? How is that different from a moisturizer? Mollie said she used it as a moisturizer, but that implies it has other uses? Did I miss something? Is it simply aromatherapy and nothing more?
So confused! Please help!

I think that it's basically just a body oil (the specific oil used as the base:  pumpkin seed) with a fancier name, kind of like how a lot of facial/hair serums are just oils.  The aromatherapy seems like just an added bonus.  I use a product that is intended to be a bath oil as a post-shower body moisturizer instead of lotion, and I think this is just something along the same lines.  I'm seriously coveting the neroli version already.  I love orange blossom as a perfume note!

So, I just watched the spoiler video and I'm a little bummed I canceled my sub after last month!  Ah, I hope this doesn't tempt me into re-subbing at some point!

I'd bet money it's also in a foil packet.
