Guerlain L’Homme Ideal Sport
There’s something a little fabulous about send-outs from Guerlain and receiving the new Guerlain L’Homme Ideal Sport is no exception. It’s a brand my mother has adored most of my life and in this massively oversaturated industry is still a beacon of guilt-ridden decadence.

Caudalie Vinexpert Dietary Supplements

A Word on Mental Health and Male Suicide

Dr Sebagh Hyaluronic Acid Repair Serum
A new brand on MANFACE with Dr Sebagh and not pronounced Sea-Bag in my flat-vowelled, Northern twang. I’m trying out the Dr Sebagh Hyaluronic Acid Repair Serum. This is definitely a more professionally formulated hyaluronic acid-based serum when compared to the likes of Indeed Labs Hydraluron Moisture Booster etc. This serum is something I currently need as I’ve been…
