If you look at them on the actual Jouer website and scroll over the picture it shows you what's inside.

Ugggg..I wish they would just let us pick the 2 samples we wanted!! I sooo want the Vasanti but not the stupid teas they are paired with..same thing with the Malin grapefruit cleanser...want it but not the hair mask.

Been lurking for awhile and finally decided to take the plunge and start posting. 

I would love if we had a popper instead of the little stuff wrapped up in the tissue paper (or however they are doing things now) in our December boxes. 

I have had my "tracking number" for the past 3 days - no update yet.  For now, I'm just going to try my best to be patient.  I do have stuff coming in from Ulta tomorrow and from Cherry Culture at some point.  I also have my other 2 subs coming to me at some point this month (Love with Food and Ipsy).

Cherry culture? What is that?

 

[plutorayz]

Holy cow. My package processed at the nearest usps facility from me (20 minute drive away) early this morning.

I may end up having my box today, tomorrow at the latest. I'm impressed by this month's shipping alone, let's hope the box's contents dazzle me.

He forgets to use anything I give him except if its in the shower, then I can't get him to stop using my expensive "FOR COLOR TREATED HAIR" products. He likes to smell like a pretty lady when he gets in the shower apparently. He likes the wen, which is good because I can't use it and it keeps coming in my nbtt from QVC.

I got mox on one of my accounts so perhaps I can get the mascara box on the other account

Shipping updated on one account

The John Varvatos sample that comes in the boxes isn't a spray bottle, its a vial, so you would have to dump it on his clothes

Cherryculture.com  They sell like "drug store" brands. (I found a ton of NYX stuff cheap! - it is my fav brand).  

I will say the processing part take a while (it took about a week) and it will take a bit to get here since I am on the East Coast and they are based on the West Coast.  It's my first time ordering from them - so we will see how my stuff arrives.  But I got like 12 make up things for about 43 bucks.  

And I just ordered another 12 since they were having a 20% off of all NYX items.

BB said on their facebook page that the whole cologne in November's box ties in with the theme of giving.  I think it's more like " Get someone to give something out of their box to a dude so you can get more members at BB Man" smh.

My fiance wouldn't go for a BB Man sub. If I gave him the cologne he would basically go, "Thanks."  Then he would actually use it or it would get lost in the black hole that is his back seat. But it would not go any further.  I will say, however, BB Man has some cool stuff that I would like to see in our boxes (i.e., the Whiskey Stones and the jigger.)

Yeah that's true.  I saw cool stuff for myself that I want with bb man such as the whiskey stones, that thing that you use to wrap your headphones around, an alarm clock and the boxers.  Maybe I should sign up for bb man instead.  I am a tomboy

He's a low maintenance kind of guy (which I love) but sometimes I just want him to be a little excited to try the guy products. He thinks that I just want him to get into products so I will have double the stuff to play with - which is kind of true. I tend to veer more towards unisex/masculine scents and more tomboyish clothing so I wouldn't mind a cologne sample - I'll use it!

Ehh I can probably dump into either an empty spray top perfume sample or if there is enough dump it into my travel atomizer

 

[gypsiemagic]

I am generally quite resourceful with samples. For this reason I am generally never disappointed with any box I get. I can use everything for something /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I think it would be awesome if BB let guys have a one time "tester box" by paying for the box one time to see if they like it! My husband isn't interested in it at all but I think if he actually got to see one he would change his mind. I don't want to gift him a full subscription but would like to get a box to show him.

I totally agree......I really think that all perfume or cologne samples should have a spray top...Who wants to risk spilling the contents and getting it all over ones fingers!

But what about paying for a box for one month, and if the person doesn't like it, they just cancel? They don't allow that over there at BB Man?

 

[CaWo]

Ya I was thinking that you would be able to not enroll-just purchase it outright. They would have to keep track of who ordered though so people wouldn't be able to keep doing it.

Just got my box today! Received my shipping notice yesterday so this is the quickest i've ever received my box /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Don't know if that has anything to do with me being in NY though lol. Weight was 0.4740 btw. Okay box, except for a little mishap haha

Model Co lipgloss in Showgirl Red
Jouer perfume sample in Cornucopia
Lulu Organics Hair Powder (which i'm most excited about)
Sumita liner (my cap was missing and it was completely dry so I emailed them today)
and LE was a cranberry soyjoy, which, if you enjoy fig newtons, you'll like it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[MissLindaJean]

Can't believe boxes are already out! Looks like BB is trying to step it up, with the missing boxes last month and hurricane. Wish my boxes would hurry and get here. Ladies with the spoilers are making me antsy!

Oh no...cranberry soy.  That just sounds gross.  I'm really hoping for some chocolate.
