I just watched it too. I had a lengthy post ready to go, but since I watched that my opinion has changed. I don't think there's one thing I'm not interested in.. other than the

men's cologne

Hmmm, I'm trying to search it on my phone since I'm blocked from Youtube on my work PC.

What't the name of the video? FOUND it!

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

I wish they'd update the shop already! I really want to know what I'm getting.

OOOH! I love Rosewater! I hope I get that!

Wouldn't mind getting the Stainiac. I do like stains.

Wouldn't mind getting the Juliette Has A Gun perfume. 

I hope I do not get those self tanner towels. lol

And if I get a men's cologne in my box, I will be angry. 
over 40 products does explain why it's taking them so long to update, I guess.

I totally agree with those who wouldn't like a men's cologne in their box...I just really don't even know why they thought that it would be appropriate for a woman's Birchbox! Also, it's so easy to get cologne samples that even if a man wanted to get a sample he could just stop by a department store. The other items look great though!

Hopefully since I said that my skin tone is medium I won't get the self tanner. And hopefully since I said that I'm a FEMALE I won't get the men's cologne lol

Looks like an ok month.. not interested in the men cologne but I would try the other stuff

Agreed! Why would they do that? 

otherwise I'm really excited, especially since it's such a broad theme and they are sampling so many products. who knows what we'll get /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I wouldn't mind so much if I had a guy in my life who would use it. But I'm a single gal, enjoying the single life, and literally have no one to give a men's cologne sample to. 

I think the principle bothers me more than anything.

Also, what did you ladies think about 



the fact they're sampling a men's cologne. I'm a single lady and neither my dad/brother wears cologne... I bought Birchbox for samples for ME, not for a man!
Agreed! They have an entire men's box...what's that all about? 

 

[Lychae]

Even though I have a man in my life I would NOT want mens colonge in my box! He gets plenty of things and it's MY BOX. (Yes, I am greedy!)

I am extremely pale..like, 01 in covergirl, and then the first color in MAC with a pink undertone. I would love to try the self tanner but as long as they give us ENOUGH to do our whole body. Like, backs, legs, chest, arms..every part!

I am just hoping for this time around I can get a makeup sample or two.

I really hope that the boxes that contain the men's cologne they treat it like a lifestyle extra. If I wanted men's products I would subscribe to BBM.... Maybe my husband will like it, but he doesn't wear much cologne, he is a diesel mechanic, his cologne is eau de diesel and oil. When he does wear any its Tim McGraw or Tim McGraw Silver, but that is only on special occasions. Other than that the box peaks look really good. What do ya'll think about the:

Zipper Baggies

Pellen,

I LOVE THEM!

I love getting anything resusable. Looks so helpful for plane trips with my son who is turning three. More snacks can fit in their for us.  Avoiding the stewardess/steward is what I try to do because we hoard trash during our flights. Less trash to throw out and be crowded by.

 

[MyriadVoices]

Did anyone else think from the video (and past BBM posts) that we might be getting

socks as a "lifestyle extra"?
I'm not sure how I feel about that. :/

That is true..they should have an option in the profile like Taxes "Married, Single, Taken" haha

My guy has BBM already to and I can't give my dad a tiny sample he would be like um okay...lol I made a sample basket for Mother's day last month..but that is not my thoughts for Fathers Day this month.

 

[TheNittyPretty]

I definitely don't want men's cologne in my box! I mean, sometimes I like to wear my husband's shirts because they're comfy and they smell like him

... but he wears a particular cologne. Please Please please don't let me get that in my box!

 

[MyriadVoices]

They were saying that is was fairly unisex... I had a female friend in college who used to wear a men's cologne because she liked the spicier fragrances, and most women's fragrances (at the time) were floral it seemed. Even with the spicy fragrances that were out, she preferred this men's cologne. I'm hoping it will be more unisex along the lines of the good old CKone from the 90's.

The product website says about the fragrance that it is:

"fresh and woody scent infused with a little swagger and a lot of soul."

 

[peebeenjay]

i would be excited to try a few of those things, mainly :

facial mist
zip and seal bags
stila bronze
 
only in a perfect bag would i get the 3 items i was coveting most in that video.

NO SELF TANNER! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[BrittneyMarie]

um... why the heck would they do that? so weird.
