August Birchbox Man Review

Outer box- same as the regular Birchbox one but not pink!

Inner box- this one is different than the women's version as it pulls out like a drawer. Much larger too!

First look- "Serve it up" is the August theme!

Info card

*CJ got box #20 out of 23.

First look!

Ernest Supplies- Cooling Shave Cream: This little pre-shave oil was something CJ thought he wouldn't like. The reason? I didn't lather at all... but it super protected his face and he said the "cooling was really nice." I love a product that actually lives up to it's name! Why doesn't that happen more often with women's products? Jealous. Price: $2.50

Plant- Face Oil: This looked super cool- to be honest, I'm a sucker for good packaging and pictures. The pics are pretty good- I think everyone can admit that. I didn't know how much CJ would care for it since he doesn't like lotions half the time because they feel greasy to him, so I couldn't imagine oil being better. He said it was weird, the main problem being it smelled oily- on your face. Bummer but still fun to try!

Herban Essentials- Eucalyptus & Lemon Towelettes: I actually got a packet of these in my Bestowed box and so I knew about these buggers already. They smell awesome and I think CJ was happy to have some of his own. I use them not as wipes but as refreshing scents and they can be used on your body, hands, face, or even your desktop (aka workspace). That sounds like the winner right there! Price: $1.60

Billy Jealousy- Adrenaline Junkie Energizing Facial Scrub: This gentle-yet-effective scrub it supposed to leave skin smooth and energized. It has peppermint oil which I'm guessing is the energizing portion and CJ is sold! This is a Birchbox Man exclusive and CJ is definitely a fan. Might have to get him some more!

Roosevelt Supply- Canvas Apron: SUPER cheesy pic of CJ. I know. He works for Chipotle IT btw and was in the stores all day, thus the Chipotle T-shirt. Anyway, CJ (and I) were stoked for this apron. It's pretty great and CJ is definitely the cook in our house (he's actually a great cook so after we started dating I stopped attempting to cook) and he'll get a lot of use out of this super durable apron. Side note: a few boxes had polo shirts instead and one box had a wallet... Boo- soo glad we got the apron! It's perfect for CJ. Price: $28

Verdict: Let's see, the $28 apron seemed to cover the $20 box but just to make a point, the box total came to $39.10. I think it was worth it! If you want to get something for yourself (if you're a guy), or your hubby, or bf, or friend, or dad, etc., this box makes a pretty sweet gift. I mean, that's what I did! I have to admit, getting Birchbox Man does make me a bit jealous since they get great samples AND cool lifestyle products- I think I'd pay more for Birchbox if I got sweet things like this. Anyway, point being we loved it! The end.
