This box was absolutely packed with sample-size and full-size products!
Like the normal Birchbox and Birchbox Man delivery, you'll get an information card with information about each item.
Let's start with the items that fell into more of a lifestyle category.
MPowerd Luci EMRG - Value $14.95
This box had a few lifestyle items that were really just perfect to keep in the car or backpack to be there when you need it most - the first of such items is this EMRG LED light.
It's solar powered, so no USB charging or anything - plus, the packaging is even cut out to allow it to be fully charged right away!
It's waterproof, light, and durable - just inflate it and you're ready for use.
There are a few light settings - including a blinking setting should the situation require that. Overall - these are always handy to have around.
Coalatree Nomad Packable Duffel - Value $18
I was first introduced to Coalatree in a Fall Bespoke Post that featured a Coalatree hammock - it's super comfortable - so I was excited to get yet another product from them!
Simply open this pouch to unveil the duffel bag.
Coalatree is really good at creating thin and lightweight fabrics that are super durable. It's easy to pack back into the pouch when you're ready to store it. Again - It's one of those items that is easy to carry with you, and you never know when you might need it.
OK - those are the two lifestyle items in the box, the rest are grooming essentials!
Boka Toothbrush - Value $5
Boka specializes in toothbrushes with activated charcoal bristles to aid in the fight against bad breath.
It's a simple and straight-forward manual brush. Nothing flashy.
And don't worry - it does arrive fully packaged.
Boka Toothpaste - Value $8
To go along with your toothbrush, you'll receive this full-size Boke toothpaste.
This is your basic mint flavored toothpaste - but an essential none the less.
Tweezerman Fingernail Clipper - Value $10
I couldn't find these exact clippers anywhere online - so I'm using the MSRP that is listed on the clear tube.
I don't think I've ever seen nail clippers like this before - it's got a little bit of a stylish look along with an embedded nail file.
It folds away and definitely looks a bit more sleek compared to a normal clipper.
Harry's Limited Edition Charcoal Truman Razor - Value $10
The Truman style razor is a classic for Harry's - this charcoal finish is a limited run.
It's you basic razor and blade set - if you love it, you can sign up for Harry's subscription to keep the blades coming!
Harry's Razor Stand - Value $15
At first, I thought...huh? But this is actually pretty practical.
It's got a sleek and basic design with a non-slip foot.
Pop your Truman razor in the stand to keep it off your counter between uses.
Ursa Major Essential Face Wipes - Value $7.20 based on 20-pack pricing
I can never have enough face wipes around since I seem to always have an oily face. On top of that, I have loved every Ursa Major product I've tried from subscription boxes - so these are definitely an essential for me.
I received 6 individually packaged wipes - great for on-the-go. It's a bamboo cloth meant to clean and hydrate your skin.
Anthony Glycolic Facial Cleanser - Value $24
This is a full-size bottle of Anthony facial cleanser.
This stuff is fantastic and has a citrusy-grapefruity scent - perfect for waking you up in the morning!
V76 by Vaughn Clean Shave Hydrating Gel Cream - Value $19
You have the new razor - now you have the shaving cream!
This is a full-size bottle from Vaughn made to leave your skin smooth after a shave.
Jack Black All-Over Wash - Value $3.15 based on full-size pricing
You'll get a bottle of 3-in-1 face, body, and hair was from Jack Black. This is a sample size, but definitely larger than the normal samples you'd get in Birchbox Man - It's 1.5 ounces.
It has a bit more of a floral scent than a citrus scent.
Kiehl's Age Defender Moisturizer - Value $5.88 based on full-size pricing
You'll get an anti-wrinkle aging cream from Kiehl's.
This is the smallest item in the box - but probably one of the priciest at full size. It'll unclog pores and firm up your skin - and is relatively scentless.
CW BEGGS and SONS Face Scrub - Value $1.8 based on full-size pricing
You'll get a deeper cleansing face scrub as well.
This is made with bamboo particles to clear away dead skin cells - definitely awesome to use with a Foreo!
Baxter of California Daily Face Wash - Value $3.60 based on full-size pricing
The assault on your dirty face continues with this Baster daily face wash.
This is messaged as a mild facial cleanser with aloe - easy enough to use in a pinch.
Verdict: This is a pricey box at $64 - but everything adds up to $145.58 - that's fantastic and more than double! On top of that, these do all feel like essentials and items that I will use daily, so I'm more than happy with the return for my cost!
