BirchBoxMan Presents: Delivery Man!

Today after a very hectic day of work (nothing new there) I ran over to the AMC 600 North Michigan theater in Chicago and attended a movie screening, which I love to do and used to do all the time. However, this past summer was quite hectic, and I hardly sat in front of the big screen.

But, I'm back! Those movie theaters better watch out for me!

Normally, during a movie screening, I like to arrive an hour ahead of start time. But tonight, I was running late from work, and on my walk over, I bumped into a former coworker and chit-chatted for a bit. So I arrived 15 minutes before start time. Thankfully, my friend was already there and she had snagged us seats 3rd row in. Pretty decent seat for a free screening...

The screening itself was great. The movie was Delivery Man, starring Vince Vaughn. He's one of my favorite actor. He's so funny, and so lovable. The movie comes out November 22, 2013, so if you want a feel-good outing, check it out. However, if you want to stay in, I recommend watching Starbuck , which is the original movie that Vince's remake is based off of. I, myself, saw Starbuck a few days ago on Netflix, and I thought it was a very cute, very well made. After watching Delivery Man, I can say that both movies are EXACTLY the same, just in different languages (Starbuck is French-Canadian).

I saw the trailer for Delivery Man first and the whole basis of one sperm donor with 533 offsprings truly intrigued me. I thought this would be a comedy since it starred Vince Vaughn. But while browsing Netflix, I came across Starbuck and gave it a try. It was very emotional and dramatic. Did anyone else shed a tear or 2? I always love a movie with a good ending.

Another good ending for tonight was that since this screening was sponsored by BirchBox Man, everyone in the audience received either a Birchbox for Men or Birchbox for Women box. Birchbox is a subscription-based beauty box that arrive in the mail. Check them out: http://www.birchbox.com/

Having received a Glossybox (another subscription-based box) just yesterday, I can't help but compare the two. My Birchbox had 4 small sample-size items, whereas my Glossybox were full-sized. Birchbox paled in comparison, however, I love freebies and I would never turn away any, regardless of size.


This is what I got:

Beauty Protector Daily Shampoo and Conditioner
Folle de Joie eau de parfum
eyeko London Black Magic Mascara

I can't wait to try it out and let you know how it is. On a side note, I found out on instagram that the DC screening had eyeliner instead of the mascara and additionally have lipglosses. Not fair! Even before I found this out, I told my friend that I am completely overloaded with mascaras, and was hoping for some eyeliner. Oh well, guess I should clean my bathroom and see if I have an extra stick of eyeliner hiding somewhere.
