Grooming Gear

Here’s a look at what’s keeping me so fresh and so clean clean this week! Gatsby Grunge Mat Styling Wax – Love this stuff, you can’t get it in the UK so I bought around 6 tubs while in Hong Kong. It’s completely matte, holds incredibly well, doesn’t leave hair stiff and smells like apples. [...]

Jo Malone Vitamin E Day Creme

Flying 12 hours usually messes with my skin quite a lot. The dry air coupled with a long day pre-flight usually means dry, chapped and slightly irritated skin after a long haul flight. I applied this twice on the flight and got off the plane looking refreshed and I already had my sun protection in [...]

Review: Skeen+ Powder Products (Eyes & Face)

Mentioned a while ago on SCforM, Skeen+ is an interesting French line designed for men (but now has a huge female following too). I’ve been testing out a few products from the line but today i’ll be focusing on the two powder products from the line since they’re so original. These are both powder products [...]

Product Recommendation: Arcona Magic White Ice

    I’ve been chatting to a few dermatologists in the know recently, a few of which were raving about the Arcona Magic White Ice hydrating gel. Now I haven’t tried this myself (yet!) but I’ve heard glowing reports from a lot of people and looking at the ingredients list I can see why it [...]

Review: Dermalogica ChromaWhite TRx®

Up for review today is the Dermalogica ChromaWhite TRx® – 6 products that aim to help protect and brighten the skin, all in one handy set to take all the work out of selecting them! I’ll only be reviewing 4 products from the range – skipping the cleansers since my set was an older edition. [...]

Top 10 – Moisturisers

Welcome to the first in a series! I’ll be posting Top 10 features throughout this month in order to tie together all the products i’ve reviewed and recommended on SCforM to date. These Top 10s are in no particular order, span a lot of skin types and will be updated with new products every 3 [...]

Review: La Roche Posay Effaclar H

A nice one if you have dry skin or acne-prone skin that’s been dried out by acne meds! EFFACLAR H moisturizes oily skin weakened by drying skin care products. It also provides skin with the lipids it lacks to reconstitute the protective hydrolipidic film and contains Ceramide 5 (patent pending) to reinforce the skin’s barrier [...]

Review: Dr Nick Lowe Dark Circles Correcting Cream

I usually don’t use eye creams (a bit of facial moisturiser undeneath the eyes does the trick) but sometimes they’re handy if the skin underneath your eyes needs a little something extra. Enter the Dr Nick Lowe Dark Circles Correcting Cream, one of the best eye creams I found last year. Dark Circles Correcting Cream [...]

Review: Olay Regenerist Night Resurfacing Elixir

You need to try this. The Olay Regenerist Night Resurfacing Elixir (launched recently in the US and some time in 2011 for the UK) is an incredibly well formulated glycolic acid moisturiser, one of the best and most gentle ones I’ve ever come across and it’s easy to get hold of. Great! First, a little [...]

Review: Creme de la Mer

You probably already know what Creme de la Mer is; the first widely-recognised, ‘super skincare’ brand on the market. A 60ml jar will set you back £163.00 and it boasts an impressive list of celebrity followers and magazine endorsements. We all know that celebrity endorsements are as easy to acquire as signing a check or [...]

Review: La Roche Posay Cicaplast

Cicaplast (from La Roche Posay) is fast becoming a cult product. Used by dermatologists to heal skin after minor cosmetic procedures, us regular folk are only just cottoning on to how brilliant this multi-purpose stuff really is! I’ve seen makeup artists use this as a face primer on models with raw, stripped skin after weeks [...]
