Birchbox Man July 2014 Review, Pictures: Best In Show

purchased affiliate links

So apparently I forgot to cancel my Birchbox Man subscription in time, so I ended up receiving the July box. This month Birchbox Man partnered with Details magazine editors, who hand-picked some of their favorite products that were included in July boxes. Let’s see their picks!

HOW IT WORKS
Birchbox Man is a subscription service that delivers a box of luxury samples and lifestyle products to your doorstep every month. Subscribers receive 4-6 samples and sometimes full-sized products. Birchbox Man subscription costs $20/month Birchbox Man is one of the cheapest monthly men’s grooming subscriptions out there, the value of each box will always be above what you paid.

Number 4 Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner – I’m slowly building a small collection of Number 4 samples for my travel beauty case, and I was missing a shampoo, so now I have it. Yay! The conditioner sample is one of those one-use packets, and I’ll definitely get around to using it some day.

Harry’s Truman Razor & $15 Gift Code – My husband uses an electric razor so I decided to keep this one for myself. The design is simple and sleek, and the handle provides comfortable grip, which is important when shaving in the shower. I would know, since I recently stepped on a razor and shaved off a dime-sized chunk of my foot! Birchbox also included a gift code for a free razor blade refill, how nice of them!

Alfred Lane Bravado Solid Cologne – Ooh, I like this one! Now to make my hubs actually use it 🙂 It’s not like he doesn’t use cologne, but rather he just forgets to do so. I think carrying this little tin in his pocket would remind him that he has it, and maybe prompt to apply it from time to time. It’s a very pleasant fragrance, featuring woodsy notes and hints of tobacco and leather.

COOLA Environmental Repair Plus Radical Recovery After-Sun Lotion – Love love love COOLA! Together with Supergoop, La Roche-Posay, Shiseido and Josie Maran, it’s one of my favorite brands of sunscreen. I never bought their after-sun products because I don’t tan, but I’m still excited about this sample, because I can use it after taking pictures outside.

Clinique for Men Broad Spectrum SPF 21 Moisturizer – Hubs will probably be happy to try something new. This sample already looks all rough and masculine, in its dark gray tube and minimalistic design, practically oozing manliness. It does have a sunscreen-ey smell to it, but the formula is very runny and lightweight so it shouldn’t bother him much.

THE VERDICT
Is it weird that I’m more excited about the samples in a Men’s box that I got by mistake than my regular Birchbox? Every product here is nice and useful, and I hope hubs will reach for that cologne more than once because I really like the fragrance.

    This looks better than the standard Birchbox in my opinion! My husband would a have no interest in it though. He just isn’t a product oriented guy.

    A nice box with stuff I’d probably try. Jeff is a lost cause with things like this 😉

      Haha, luckily my hubs still cares so it’s exciting to see him trying new stuff like that 🙂

    This is neat! I’m going to share your post with my husband and see if he’s interested!

    What a great box. This looks like super good stuff but not girlie stuff for the guys. It looks better than my freaking Birchbox- I am jealous actually. Great post girl!

      I hear you, my own Birchbox this month was nothing to write home about either/ Guys get great stuff!

    I might consider getting it for my boyfriend, it seems like there’s a nice mix of products in the box!

    Fascinating box. I like seeing that they’re making boxes for men.

  7. July 11, 2014 / 4:43 pm

    I had no idea there are subscription boxes for men.

    I’d love to get that box that says ‘Harry’s’ just to give to my husband. His name is Harry.

    This is neat! I wish my bf would think its as cool as I do, but I know he won’t even care!

    No man to give product to at the moment.

    Ow ow ow.. you shaved off a chunk of your foot?! I hope it’s healed now. I hate when I do stuff like that. I like the razor packaging – I’m sure I’d snag that out of the box for me, too! I’m intrigued by the idea of solid cologne – I’ve never used it. I wonder if my husband would.

  13. July 12, 2014 / 2:05 am

    Clinique is the only brand my hub likes. That looks like a good man box!

  14. July 12, 2014 / 3:03 am

    This looks like a nice box. My hubby and I have sensitive skin so he will use whatever I use… and if I can’t try it – he won’t use it. lmao
