June Birchbox Man Review

Disclosure: If you make a purchase through the links posted below, I may receive a small compensation. Read the full disclosure.

B’s June Birchbox Man box arrived today and, as always, we were excited to see it.  I wish that the my Birchboxes arrived early in the month like the men’s ones do ;).  While I’m wishing, I also wish that the Women’s boxes were $20 like the men’s and included a lifestyle item like the men’s ones do.

Birchbox Man ships via UPS Mail Innovations and the tracking on it isn’t the best.  Once it shows up as received into my local post office, the tracking stops.  No matter.  It always arrives, so I am happy.

Although B was home when the box came, I opened it myself anyway.  He gets all annoyed when I stop him to take pictures, so he doesn’t care.  I make sure to wrap it back up all nice for him ;).

I always peek at the “big” lifestyle items in the Birchbox Man spoiler videos and then peek at the rest later when they post the boxes. B never ever peeks and I admire his willpower.  I don’t know how he does it.

The June Birchbox Man theme is all about the great escape.  Specifically you summer escape plans.  Whether, it’s long lunches or a full-fludged sabbatical, Birchbox wants to help you make a well-timed exit and to cover your tracks!

~Old Spice Pure Sport Bar Soap ($1.33): When I first saw a spoilers of this box, I was like seriously Birchbox? OLD SPICE? Come on. But I shouldn’t have judged without smelling first because I love it. No, for real. I would buy this! Birchbox classifies it as a “Birchbox Score”. The sticker on the box says “We work hard to bring you the best high-end grooming supplies each month, but we’re also always on the lookout for the greatest affordable finds”. I’d say this fits the bill.

~Stowaway Shades ($25):I don’t know if B would buy something like these on his own, but they are handy to have for sure. I probably folded them and unfolded them up a dozen times since they arrived this afternoon. B will probably leave these in his gym bag or at work or something so he is never without sunglasses. You really can’t have too many pairs.

~Kerastase | Bain Capital Energizing Shampoo ($3.12): I knew this sounded familiar, so I did a little digging on the blog and realized that, umm, B got this back in December. Sort of. He got the “Densifying” back in December and this is the “Energizing”. This shampoo is packed with vitamins and amino acids to fight thinning. I don’t think B will even have a problem with thinning hair, but I suppose you never know. And also, is there some connection between BainCapital and Kerastase? Does anyone know??? Because I link the two every time i hear about this shampoo and say it’s name.

~Grooming Lounge | Best for Last Aftershave ($8.80): I don’t know much about this brand other than it’s nongreasy, sting-free and calms and heals freshly shaved skin. Sounds good to me and I know B is looking forward to giving it a test drive.

~LAFACE Laboratories | TRITON for Men Mattifying Moisturizer ($3.25): This pick is by DETAILS magazine who Birchbox partnered with this month to bring us the top grooming products of the season. I’m all over the the idea of a matte moisturier and I know B is too, but I wish the sample was a tad bigger. Like after B dips into there once, it’ll be done!

All totaled, B’s June Birchbox Man had a value of $41.50, (NOT including points for doing reviews and purchasing the box itself (*) – which would bring the value up to $48.50), which was, as always, way more than the $20 price tag. We totally love Birchbox Man and B looks forward to receiving this box every month.
