Sometimes it’s essential to shake things up. Grooming is one of those essential things (or at least rolling out of bed to take a shower once in while). We found this super affordable grooming sample box with a terrible name. Dare we say it … the Glossybox. And to be fair the company usually caters to women. This is their first men’s product.

Regardless of the name, we tried out the products and they are legit. And you can order one for just $40. The only downside is the products don’t change and this is only a trial product line. But like we said its $40 and you get a nice selection. You can buy the grooming box online here and they ship for free.

What’s in the Box?

BVLGARI Cologne-  A tiny sample thats perfect to throw in your suit pocket, or your bag, for a quick refresh at some point during the day.

Nuxe Men Eye Cream- This is the hangover piece. Probably the most important. It reduces any puffiness or darkness around the eyes. They give you a good size bottle too.

Redken for Men Firm Grasp texturizing hair clay- Nice matte finished with pretty good hold. This sample comes in standard retail size.

Redken for Men Clean Brew extra cleansing shampoo for men- Includes malt, brewer’s yeast and orange zest. Smells pretty amazing and cuts out any product or daily grime. Our top pick from the box.

Sisley Moisturizer- From Paris-based skin guru Sisley this anti-aging crème usually runs more than $200. Hence the sample they give you is only worth two uses if that. Hard to tell if the magic works.

Zirh Pre-Shave Oil- A pre-shave oil you put on as prep before shaving to help prevent razor burn. We tried it out and it makes for a much smoother shaving experience.

The ultimate guide for men’s skincare in the fall that everyone should follow
Try these skincare tips for men to take you from warm fall afternoons to chilly winter nights

The winter holiday season seems to start earlier and earlier from a commercial standpoint. Now, it's not uncommon for Black Friday/Christmas ads to start before Halloween and to see Halloween candy in stores in August. However, it’s challenging to think about winter let alone winter skincare, when it’s still light out at 5 p.m. While putting gift shopping off to the last minute is perfectly acceptable — and may score you a sweet deal — early fall is the time to start thinking about skincare tips for colder weather.
Come winter, the dry air from the indoor heat and the freezing cold air can do a number on our skin. Think dryness, cracked feet, and chapped lips. A little advanced preparation can go a long way. These men’s fall skincare tips will season-proof your regimen.

How do you take care of your skin in the fall?

If you are like us, you can get sick of your hair. Not because you don't want it, we don't want to say anything mean about our hair to make it leave (not that we don't love the looks of a bald man). But, sometimes, we can get bored with our haircuts and want something to jazz it up. There are tons of hairstyles out there for you to try out if you are in that boat, but there is one new fad that will inject some crazy life into your style: the wolf cut. But we're not the type to just drop a name and move on. No, we always want to dig a little deeper.

There are many things you can tell about a guy from his haircut. Some guys grow the long, flowing locks and do all they can to look like Thor. Or if you are a bit older and are a Gen X or Millenial, you may know who Fabio is. Other guys like to go a little shorter and get the soldier look, rocking the Jason Statham or Bruce Willis look. And still, some of us know we can't pull off either look and opt to land somewhere in the middle with a more executive look. But there is a great look that can give you the hair you want on top while keeping the clean-cut, off-the-ear look you want; that is the mid fade.
