Word. Didn't they send that out in June and caught a lot of flack for that?  When does Birchbox ever learn their lessons (aka no food, less perfume, no men's items) smfh.

My box weight is .4340. Does anyone know if I could be getting this box?? The weights are very similar but idk if they would be the same. I would be happy with this box because I need new mascara, but I wouldn't be too thrilled with the mens cologne. I thought we were getting chocolate too /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

ugh they're giving out mens cologne to give away AGAIN?

maybe i'm stingy but i buy birchbox for MYSELF not to give to my boyfriend or my dad (and both hate stuff like that)

I'm pretty sure that this is my box too. I'm actually excited to try everything in it!

Im getting 2 of that box then... My weights are .4400 and .4370 so hmmmm

I really hope I don't get men's cologne.  I don't know anyone that could or would use it.

That said, there's a tracking number in my account info, but not updated nor have I gotten a shipping email yet.

 

[WanderlustinWA]

I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but sometimes I really like the smell of men's cologne for myself!  Either alone or layered with something super floral to balance it a bit.

 

[dizzymgd]

Weight (lbs.):
0.6760
Projected Delivery Date:
Nov 13 2012

I got this box. The serum was in a bag good thing lol, it leaked a little. Not sure what I'm going to do with the mens cologne but I don't mind it in the box. weight was .4380

I feel the same way! My fiance' gets Birchbox Man (which I pay for & is linked to the same account as my Birchbox) and he just got the John Varvatos cologne in his November box. I would be livid if I got that cologne in MY birchbox in general, and even more so if it was the same one that I just got through my bbox man account. Would that be considered a duplicate sample?

 

[prachisrk]

Still no shipping info for me. I'm trying to be patient but I have a feeling its going to suck again this month.

Probably not since his a different subscription from yours.

 I understand that, but it is still under 1 account under my name & email. That should be something they look at if they decide to send out Men's samples.

 

[spmblueeyez]

I have two accounts, and I have tracking numbers in both accounts, that have been there since a few days ago, no shipping email, and tracking isn't updating at all. Again. This is the exact same thing that happened last month, only this is earlier since last month my tracking was there on the 10th. My last box I received on the 30th and it wasn't even the box that they had showing on my account, (or is still showing for that matter) so I can't even leave feedback for it. I'm really hoping the same thing doesn't happen this month since nothing is going on with the tracking, but I'll be patient and wait till Monday, then I'm emailing yet again.

 

[queenofperil]

I haven't even gotten a shipping notification yet. Tracking number hasn't updated. I'm guessing I'm going to be getting one of the later boxes.

Same here.  I'm hoping that means at least we'll get the chocolate as consolation. 

 

[deactivateduser232015]

Damn, I'm going to be super unenthused if I receive the Lulu hair powder again. LOL I started a new account last month by buying myself a gift sub, and the old account ended up with the Lulu's in the tragic box 3. It means I'm "at-risk" for getting it again in this new box XD;

 

[msdollfaced]

I'm a bit annoyed about the mens sample. The fact that their excuse for sending it is to "give it to your boyfriend" well...what about the single ladies? I know, I know you can obviously give it to any man, but it just rubs me the wrong way. This is a sub that is supposed to feature samples for us, not for us to have to give away, It's like them including a lipstick in the BB man and saying to give it to a lucky girl! 

 

[prachisrk]

Omg I know. I really don't want it again!

I'm feeling the same way and hoping that my box actually shows up this month!

Haha I would LOVE if they put a lipstick in my boyfriend's BBM box. But I totally get your point.
