Birchbox Man: June Edition

This months box came with a lot of manly gadgets to play with, a sexy scent, a toothpaste whitening system that actually works, and a product to help with razor burn.

Normally I wouldn't give a hoot about an item that kept my cords separated or my earphones from strangling other items in my bag. However this is right up my hubby's alley and both have been keeping him busy for days.  I thought we were going to fight over the Supersmile toothpaste & accelerator since the sample was rather small. But in the end we shared and I liked it more than he did since he likes his teeth clean and I thought the whitening effect was pretty neat.

Hubby is always looking for awesome products that make shaving tolerable and the John Allan's Slickwater appears to be almost be a winner but with the sample being rather small he isn't sure he wants to invest in it just yet.

The big surprise was the CoSTUME National scent which was sexy, deep and exotic.  And we both liked it! I am a bit more picky about such things due to sensitivity to perfume/cologne (ie makes me sneeze which can disrupt an intimate moment) or the scent just lingers too long the next morning.  This is great outdoors where scents are slightly diluted and indoors in small doses or close proximity.

Overall this was really a great Birchbox Man month with a nice variety of products.  Will be anticipating what may be in store for next month and still hoping the sample products are slightly bigger.  I know it sounds like constant complaining, but it can be difficult to decide on a product sample you only get one or two uses from especially when it comes to determining allergies, skin irritation, breakouts or redness!

Cravebox Summer Spruce Up Limited Edition

Wow this is great!  I was so glad to see a full size version of the Bar Keepers Friend.  I use this all the time especially on my stainless steel sink and it really makes cleaning the shower much easier.  Once you use this you will never want to use a substitute.  I am using the glass spray and loving it too plus a coupon for $0.35 off!  My hubby likes the latex free gloves since kitchen/bathroom chemicals really irritate his hands. And I was very excited to see the coupon for full size kitchen bags which I am almost out of! (yes I already used the coupon before I snapped the pictures) Finally, the Dawn sponge cloth was new to me and I really like having it close by to wash off plates or cookware so that the dishwasher doesn't fill up so fast.


Overall this is a great box with great products that I will use!  Good job guys and I can't wait to see what will be in the July Cravebox!
