November 2013 Birchbox Man

I wanted to gift D a subscription to Birchbox Man for Christmas since he always comments on how many boxes come to the apartment.  I figured the first box would arrive in December so that would be perfect.  To my surprise, the November box arrived today so D's Birchbox is now a "just because" gift instead of being one of the presents under our Christmas tree.

Birchbox Man is a men's lifestyle box for $20/month that includes both grooming and lifestyle items.  It's a larger box than the women's version.  

The November box has a theme of "More Good" and mentions its support of the Movember mustaches in support of cancer research.

Here is what arrived in D's first Birchbox Man Box!



Notting Hill by English Laundry (Sample value: $1.75, Full size: $70-$85)
This scent is citrus-y which different from what D usually wears.  I liked it. Hopefully future boxes won't all include a fragrance sample. 


Protective Matte Moisturizer by Earnest Supplies (Sample value: $3, Full size: $25)
Before even trying this product, I thought it was nice that it has a nozzle to close it and use it more than once.


Shave Cream by Proraso (Sample value: $0.66, Full size: $10)
This is a perfect size sample to take on an overnight trip.  


Pomegranate SPF 15 Natually Smooth Lip Balm by Yes To (Full size!!! $2.99)
D thinks this looks like girl lip balm.  I think its meant to be gender neutral.  D is manly enough to rock a pink chapstick, but the lip balm itself is clear.  


Transit Issue Travel Candle by Apolis (Full size!!! $30)
We like candles and this one smells great.  It's very "manly"and home-y and I think it will be nice to take with us when going on vacation or going away for a weekend.  


Overall we thought this first box was just ok.  The candle is the best item, but we would have liked to see some larger sample sizes of the other products.  What did other people get in their Birchbox Man boxes this month?
