I hope we do get the gold flecks topcoat.  It's so cool, yet not something I would splurge on for myself.

Lol I totally agree. Today I showed my husband this new soap bar I got and asked him if he wants to try it out and he just said to me, "Can you stop trying out so many different products on your body and face and just stick to one?" He's said this to me before because he thinks it's not good to try out so many different products like it'll not be good for your face or body or something. I just told him, it's good to try out new things so you know what's good for you and what's not and if you'll like it or not. He just shook his head. Lol men just don't get us women. haha

LOL.

 

In college, I used to live with nine (yes, nine) boys between the ages of 19 and 25. They would roll their eyes at my incessant products and buy their same shampoo and Axe body wash....

 

But guess whose pretty girly soaps, scrubs, deep conditioners and moisturizers were constantly running out while the various man products remained untouched for months? Mmhmm.

I always liked getting mocked for my handsoap collection, all the while catching a whiff of my conditioner in someone's beard. :)

I work for B&BW, we actually have a lot of male customers who use the signature scents (not necessarily the ones designated for men either).

LOL!  I caught my naughty hubby going to the closet where I keep the Philosophy 3 in 1's and ripping the seals off to smell the scents when he was looking for another shower gel for the master bath.

I noticed that too. I'm wondering if they will even sell out before they ship.

Speaking of luxury items, I have gotten some special offers that I do not know what to do with because they are a little high end.  I have a $50 off Tieks coupons, one for Juil, etc.  I do not know anyone who would drop the cash for that stuff either but I hate for them to go to waste. Any of you come up with a creative way of handling this?

Wow, any of this stuff would be awesome to get!  I don't know about y'all, but the ladies in this video really remind me of an SNL skit with the ladies who talk in rehearsed monotone excitement on the radio, lol.  I love PopSugar, but the video had me giggling a little.

Yeah... it was very HSN or high school video project hehe.

 

I wasn't terribly thrilled with any of those items. I am starting to get nervous about the luxury mystery! December will be my first box with Popsugar (and I purchased the luxury box as well); do they typically put out any hints or spoilers like some other subs do?

The thing about thinking these are potential spoilers is that I don't think *any* of the boxes have had anything from those videos. There was an instance where they had a video with a contest at the end that showed the entire box, but that was just the one time. No spoilers, no hints. We don't even get the theme until the boxes land, if then.

Ugh, on my phone, so I can't edit my post. That video. The host (Kirby?) seemed *very* unused to wearing red lipstick. She seemed hyperaware of the potential of getting some on her teeth, to the point where I was distracted. Her makeup just seemed really overdone overall.

I couldn't help giggling too. I couldn't even watch the whole thing after about the third person came on because I started to feel as uncomfortable as they were making the video. I did appreciate that they have the new Asian editor that seems to have monolids, which means they will show me how to put eye make-up on for monolids. I think this video made the youtube beauty "gurus" and QVC hosts seem really really good. So obvious who is a natural and who isn't.

One quick question will we be getting two boxes this month...a luxury one and a regular one...or did the luxury replace the regular one.

It's two separate boxes. The luxury one is a one time purchase.

Oh okay at first I thought we were opting in to receive the luxury box instead of the regular box. Thanks!

AGREE!! I didn't listen to half of what she said because I was wondering how she could hold her eyelids up under all that black. She should have maybe done a thinner liner to balance out the powerful red lips.

 

I liked her hair, though.

Def the red dress and red lipstick and dark liner her where way to much for a holiday party;) I love how she gives these tips and really doesn't apply them well! That is what makes me giggle!

Interesting to find out. I was surprised at what a bad idea it was when they announced it. Men don't love this kind of thing, and there were no spoilers, and no precedent set from previous boxes...all at a $100 dollar price tag during a recession.

 

Btw, 212 boxes left. :)
