A gay male friend of mine turned me on to this a while back, and it's amazing! $20 a month for the guys box or $10 a month for the women's box.....you get samples of all sorts of stuff (skincare, hair stuff, shaving stuff, cologne/perfume, soaps, shampoos) and even clothing items like a hot new wallet here and there, a cool belt or buckle, tie pin...whatever. Granted, I know more about the guy's box.

Anyway, www.birchbox.com for details and info. You can select the men's or women's section for more info on stuff they send out and reviews...also guides like how to use makeup items for the women, shaving tips, fashion advice etc.

I have really been enjoying mine, and I thought that some other folks here might like to as well.

My best friend is a subscription box junkie. I did Ipsy, Birchbox, and GlossyBox that I got for $13 per box instead of the normal 20.

Ipsy is the best of the two $10 boxes to me. But maybe it's because I prefer a more makeup oriented box.

Glossy is good. Great value for what I got it for. Not sure I'd do the full $20 every month though.
