Birchbox Man: September 2012 : The Basics


The box for September was all about the basics and/or fundamentals.  This is actually a very important skill that once mastered can lead you directly to STYLE!  You already understand the importance of grooming: shower, shave, smelling good and looking great.  Now lets focus on what is noticed but not necessarily seen.

Inside the jammed packed box is a step in the right direction which includes comfort, conditioner, softness, and dryness.  Doesn't sound so appealing? Well then, let's look a little deeper and you may want to take some notes!

Step 1: comfortable underwear.  Sounds like a no-brainer (insert your pun here) ha ha. But you and the "boys" must be comfortable as not to worry, wobble, scratch or shake while trying to look cool! You never want to seem like you've got ants in your pants!

Step 2: dryness. Men sweat a LOT from just about every pore in the body and the Bala Powder is your secret weapon.  It can be applied everywhere or just in certain areas leaving you perfectly dry and odor free which will certainly boost the confidence factor!


Step 3: (If you are a strikingly handsome Bruce Willis or smooth Sam Jackson (ahem: bald) then you can skip this portion of the lesson).  For everyone else your hair is important whether you keep it long, short, curly, straight or whatever! Oribe allows you to condition your hair to achieve the look that gets the girl and girls love to run their fingers through your hair (without feeling sticky, oily or grimy).



Step 4: Maybe you don't want to think about your lips being soft, but I can tell you she does.  No one wants to be kissed or nibbled on with chapped/scratchy lips and CO Bigelow not only has you covered for that (and it slips nicely into a pocket) but the smell of mint is irresistible.



Now you have all the basic elements and it's your turn to use them to your advantage.  Birchbox Man has included additional handy information just in case you need a review. And Gentlemen, please don't hesitate to ask a girl for an additional lesson (wink wink) to help you achieve your own personal style!



PS: my hubby really like this month's BB! However, if  he wrote this review it would have been a lot shorter (Yea, its all good stuff says my hubby) and not nearly as entertaining.  Overall I think the undies and Balla powder were the big winners!
