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.

Making a great first impression is all about covering your bases. You can look amazing or say all the right things, but one wrong move will have you wondering why no one wants to be near you. Smelling great is a subconscious way to keep people thinking about you long after you are gone. They can often love the way you smell, and it does not even register in their memory. There was something about you they just can't put their finger on. It taps into their basic instincts. There are some fashion houses that excel in making you smell fantastic, and Prada is one of them. Here are the best Prada colognes for men.

If you like rain but hate getting wet, you can thank Burberry for the ability to spend time in the weather while still staying comfortable. In 1856, Thomas Burberry set out to protect people from the weather on the British Isles. He then revolutionized modern rainwear twenty years later with the invention of Gabardine. Before he stepped into the innovation space, rainwear was heavy and uncomfortable. Now, we can stroll to work and not worry too much about the rain or the cold. He didn't stop innovating, and now, nearly two centuries later, we have one of the powerhouse fashion brands in the world. His brand lives on today with some of the best Burberry colognes for men.

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?
