Review: Bumble and Bumble Hair Powder

Bumble and Bumble Hair Powder is a dry shampoo with a strong tint – perfect for guys with thinning hair for a few reasons: Absorbs excess oil on the hair to leave it looking clean. Gives hair a massive texture boost to leave even fine hair looking thick and full. Provides a tint to disguise [...]

Review: Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution

You know i’m all over the Kiehl’s Dermatological Solutions line – their latest release, the Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution, is another hit for the range. I’ve been using it for about 2 months now, brilliant for annoying marks/pigmentation: The unique clear formula is enriched with Activated Vitamin-C, Peony Extract and White Birch Extract. The [...]

Lab Series BB Cream for Men

Have you tried a BB cream yet? Pretty much a souped up tinted moisturiser, BB creams are an Asian import that should deliver 3 main benefits: SPF, a light tint and skincare (usually anti-ageing or brightening). BB creams for men are huge in Asia, while in Hong Kong I saw tonnes of guys at Laneige [...]

Etat Pur

Last week I was introduced to Etat Pur – a new French skincare line that’s doing things a little differently. Before we get into the products which, for a jaded skincare writer, were pretty impressive – let’s talk economics! Etat Pur provides well concentrated and formulated products for a fraction of what you’d usually pay [...]

Zirh Returns!

Zirh Skincare is back in the UK! Famed for their 5-step men’s skincare regime (that’s Cleanse, Shave, Hydrate, Solve and Body), Zirh has returned to UK after a brief respite from the market. Have you used their products before? It’s a pretty impressive range with some real stars behind them. If you’re wondering where to [...]

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: Ole Henriksen Truth Serum

Loaded with antioxidants to fight off environmental aggressors and moisture-binding ingredients to keep your skin nourished and protected, Truth Serum – Collagen Booster is absorbed instantly [...]

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 [...]

Imedeen for Men – An Update!

Yikes, this update is a bit late (sorry!) but I think that sort of sets the tone for this review. Having started the Imedeen challenge (3 months using the formula) I decided to buy a set for a skincare phobic friend too – just to compare any differences since my skin is pretty well cared-for [...]
