Birchbox Man Review - February

(I know I usually do reviews on Wednesday...but I’m still recovering from birthday weekend!)

C got his third Birchbox man the other day.

This  was probably my least favorite of the three he’s gotten, but he still seemed to like it so that’s all that matters!

As I’ve said before, since the website really doesn’t give much info on what comes in the men's boxes…. I’ve started sharing what he gets, for as long as we keep this going.  This box is twice the cost of the women’s box at $20, but I think it’s worth it.  

The February Birchbox Man had a theme of “Go Time” and included:

          1)    Dr. Brandt  Pores No More Pore Refiner– .25 oz (SAMPLE SIZE)

Full Size: $45.00 1 oz. Value: $11.25

          2)    Gentleman’s Brand Co. Daily Moisturizer – 1 oz. (TRAVEL SIZE)

Full Size: $36.00 8.4 oz.  Value: $4.28

          3)    Schulz & Malley Brushless Shave Cream – 1 oz. (TRAVEL SIZE)

            Full Size: $18.00 8 oz. Value: $2.25

          4)    The Sasquatch Soap Co. Cedar Citrus Bar Soap – 1.2 oz. (SAMPLE SIZE)

Full Size: $6.00 5 oz. Value: $1.44

5)   Areaware Dipped Bottle Opener - (FULL SIZE)

      This is made from a piece of wood and a nail, its cool!

      Full Size: $14.00 Value: $14.00

Final Cost: $20.00

Final Value: $33.22

So that’s it, the February Birchbox man!  

The value of this is pretty bad, compared to other boxes I get which are usually several times the final cost. Bummer.

I think we will get this box one more month (Happy Valentine’s Day babe) and then give up.  Unless they seriously surprise me next time!  

If you’d like to order a box for any men in your life, you can click here!  It’s quite neat because you get to fill out a bit lengthy profile on the man and their likes and dislikes, skin type, hair type and even the type of man they are (sporty, geeky, techie).  

Birchbox Man – Take Two

C got his second Birchbox man the other day.

Of course, as soon as he got it I made him tear it open so I could see what was inside.  Man, I’m so addicted to these mail delivery boxes that I don’t even care if what’s inside is for me, I just love the surprise of it!

Since the website really doesn’t give much info on what comes in the men’s boxes…. I thought I would start sharing what he gets, for as long as we keep this going.  This box is twice the cost of the women’s box at $20, but I think it’s worth it. 

The January Birchbox Man had a theme of “Go Time” and included:

1. English Laundry Notting Hill cologne – .02 oz (SAMPLE SIZE)

            Full Size: $85.00 3.4 oz. Value:$5.00

2. Billy Jealousy Adrenaline Junkie energizing Scrub – 1 oz. (TRAVEL SIZE)

Full Size: $24.00 8 oz.  Value: $3.00

3. MenScience Androceuticals Post-Shave Repair – 2 oz. (TRAVEL SIZE)

Full Size: $30.00 4 oz. Value:$15.00

4. Reviver Dry Deodorant Wipes – 1 wipe

Full Size: $16.00 (6 pack) Value:$2.66

5)   freehands Knit Touch Glove - (FULL SIZE)

Full Size: $15.00 Value: $15.00

Final Cost: $20.00

Final Value: $40.66

So that’s it, January’s Birchbox man!

This value is not as good as last months, but I am sure he will use every one of these items. The knit gloves are actually pretty cool, since you can still use your touch phone with them on. In fact, I will probably be stealing these every once in a while. I had to take my gloves off at a freezing cold (ok to my AZ standards) football game once to use my phone and my fingers weren’t happy!

I think we will keep this box going through at least next month and re-evaluate from there and decide if it is worth it.

I think that makes it even more personal!
