Review of Blemish Fighting Skincare from The Body Shop
The Body Shop’s Tea Tree range is one of the longest standing blemish fighting skincare ranges in existence. I had the face wash and oil when I was 12/13 and so had countless others before me and countless others after. So let’s welcome some new additions to this timeless family. All the Tea Tree oil in the range is Community Fair…

NEW Lynx Black Night Well Worth a Look
I don’t know what’s happening with Lynx at the moment but I like it, from the grooming range to bottled fragrance, to really gorgeous new releases – it appears they’re shaking off their school changing room past. Lynx Black Night is very similar to one of my guilty pleasures, Zara Night which seems to come…

Frederic Malle Bakelight Travel Spray Case
I’ve very recently fallen in love with Frederic Malle fragrances. I’ve dabbled in the past but for some reason have always passed on them with no idea why. If you’re not familiar with the brand, each fragrance is by one of currently 12 perfumers – each as staggeringly accomplished as the other. I was very…

Under Eye Brightening with Smashbox + Before & After
Under-eye dark circles are one of us guy’s biggest complaints. Sometimes, no matter what you do, how healthy you are or how much sleep you get; they’re still there.

Bobbi Brown Instant Confidence Stick
If any other brand would have called their product the ‘Instant Confidence Stick’, I’d have raised a mighty eyebrow. But from Bobbi Brown, you know it’s a name filled with love, care and positivity. I’ve been using this over the last 2 weeks or so and have found my hand always reaching for it. The…

Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb Barbershop
Only when writing this I realise I’ve never reviewed Spicebomb before! Which is weird as I’ve been wearing Spicebomb Extreme religiously since Christmas. But better late than never. Spicebomb, an incredibly well performing male fragrance – that relies on being genuinely gorgeous rather than pure marketing – and just in time for Father’s Day 2016…

Superdrug Launch Vegan + Cruelty Free B. Men Skincare Range
In contrast to my article yesterday on the state of the Male Grooming industry, this completely goes against the grain with a skincare range that clearly has had a lot of care, love, thought and attention go into it. Superdrug has launched their own budget male skincare line, B. Men, to face opposite their existing and highly…

Malin + Goetz comes to London
I’ve dallied with Malin + Goetz skincare over the years and have had a particular obsession with their Blemish Care products (read my review here) and I featured their Sulphur Paste featured as a Product of The Day on my Instagram last week! Skincare product of the day: Malin + Goetz 10% Sulfur Paste spot…
