Crème de la Mer The Treatment Lotion

You may have seen my review a little while ago of L’Occitane Immortelle Divine Lotion where I talked about an impending Korean import trending it’s way into our market over the next year. Crème de la Mer The Treatment Lotion is another product from a big player to bring this technology to market, a lotion that’s not…

Murad Blemish Control Body Wash & Clarifying Body Spray

With no exaggeration here whatsoever, guys of the world, we have been saved. Legne, armne, bacne, assne – bodily acne is a real concern for guys. We don’t often talk about it but it’s something you, my lovely readers, have emailed me about on a few occasions and I’ll hold up my hands and say…

Tom Ford For Men Grooming Collection

Fine grooming is the mark of a modern gentleman. It is the way a man presents the best version of himself to the world. The wise-words of Tom Ford and what an honour. I’m lucky enough to be one of, although I’m pretty certain the I’m actually the first blogger to get my hands on…

Weleda Wild Rose Soothing Facial Capsules

I am very anti-naturals and anti-organic etc. My argument has always been that skin produces a highly balanced and ultra-complex cocktail of chemical compounds; therefore the day my skin starts pumping out lavender oil is the day I start applying it and its companions by the bucket load. Being the world’s biggest natural sceptic therefore,…

Freeze 24-7 SkinSmoothie Retexturizing Glycolic Pads 10%

Pads – every brand has ’em and they’re almost always the same – a pot of cotton pads overly-drenched in a salicylic acid based solution. They’re nothing new. However, Freeze 24/7 have taken this clichéd skincare product and turned it into something quite special and rather cool. On first inspection, you open the box, undo…

KIKO Skin Trainer Youth-Generating Serum

Not so long ago, I was referred to by someone as Mr. KIKO and you know something, I can’t fault the implied observation. Since discovering the brand 3 years ago in Spain (there’s a boutique very close to where my parents live), I haven’t looked back. The products aren’t the most high end; the ingredients…

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo

Firstly – Is La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo a moisturiser? Yes. This is probably the most frequently asked question when it comes to Effaclar Duo and so right here, right now, I can confirm that it most certainly is. OK, so, Effaclar Duo Moisturiser is probably the hottest product to come out of the La Roche-Posay labs. Everyone uses it:…

Novexpert The Expert Anti-Ageing Cream

I’m 22 going on 23 going on 50, and being as highly strung as I am, my skin is always the first to take the brunt. So I’m starting to think about ageing and although I’ve used daily SPF since I was 17, I’m beginning to look for more powerful and targeted age prevention treatments.…

La Roche-Posay Hydreane BB Creme SPF 20

In the year of the CC Cream, I believe the BB Cream is still king. BB creams are a guys best friend as they balance the skin-tone, brighten the complexion, hydrate and often treat the skin whilst giving us a daily dose of sun-protection (Hydreane BB Creme has a fab SPF 20). Hydreane is the…

Clinique Superprimer Face Primers

With the recent launch of the super-duper CC Cream from Clinique, the brand hit the colour correction gong once more, going that little but further with their collection of targeted Superprimer Face Primers. What’s a primer you ask? Well if you’ve not used one before as I know many guys won’t, it’s a product that…
