I got three Birchbox sample packs from three recent orders.  One man, when the women’s was out of stock, which turned out to be the best one.  Roosevelt Supply card case and 1.5 oz rusk paste.

Pack 3 Marcelle Eye Shadow Duo Naked Truth and Stilla Stay All Day Lipstick

The only product I that does not have phenoxyethanol (makes my eyes swell up) in it is the LAQA but I do not do well with coral colors so the women’s packs were a bit of a bust for me.  So I can say without a doubt I am glad I got the men’s sample pack and may ask for those again.  I really like that card case, and it is listed at $25 on the site.

 

Sub Bella – I agree with Shana that the card case is the best sample.

**********

Here is my sample pack. My 16-year-old has decided to upgrade his cologne from Axe to English Laundry thanks to the Gentleman Quarterly box. The whole family is happy that there will be no more Axe smells in our house.

The sample pack looks interesting. I wonder what is in the box.

Maak Lab Doug Bar: I love the scent. It has a happy outdoor scent. The soap is the real deal containing essential oils. I’ll keep it if T does not want it.

 

Onto the order:

English Laundry Notting Hill

English Laundry Notting HIll: I’m not sure why there is a sticker on it. T doesn’t care. He already used it today.

 

Boomba
Boomba Socks

Boomba Socks – Men: T loves Boomba socks! He was happy to see them.

 

Verdict:  Birchbox Mystery Sample Packs are fun to receive. Sometimes it works out; sometimes it doesn’t. It’s always interesting!

    The BB men’s box just seem so much more interesting lately. I have seen a lot of instagram pics too of the BB Europe packs for women that seem to be more in line with the US men’s version (like you get a lifestyle item).
