Mary Kay for Men
OK, we know you think about your mom or maybe even your grandma when you think of Mary Kay…BUT, it turns out that Mary Kay is starting to use their seasoned skin care expertise to provide products for men too. They are creating face washes, shave gels, body washes, and fragrances all at affordable prices–starting at $10! It may seem girlie, but good skin care can be had by all–if you haven’t thought about it yet, START.

Give some love to our favorite Mary Kay representative, Julia Murton, if you’d like to give a trial run to any of these products–she’ll ship everything right to your door. If you have detailed or specific questions about your skin type and how to care for it–you can e-mail or call Julia directly for her talented guidance. Also, consider your girlfriend or mom for holiday shopping while you’re stuffing your cart!

On Smelling Good: L’eauParKenzo Pour Homme

Monday, October 18th, 2010

Our second recommendation for a new scent is by Japanese designer Kenzo. He’s known for utilizing fresh Asian scents that aren’t always smelled in the US. With notes of Yuzu, Ho Leaf, Lotus Leaf, Aquatic Mint, Green Pepper, White Music, Mandarin, Rosewood, Waterlily, and Floral Musk, Kenzo defines this scent being for the “active man.” We see it as being for any man who wants to smell ridiculously unique and awesome. We don’t know what ho leaf or white music are, but we sure think your lady will like it. Whisper to her that you might like this as a holiday gift or get it now:


Kenzo L’eauParKenzo Pour Homme $54-72

VALUE BUY: KenzoPower is basically the same price but you get a lot more in a bottle. This fragrance is another favorite right behind the L’eauParKenzo–


Kenzo KenzoPower $22-75

On Smelling Good: 1 Million by Paco Rabanne

Monday, October 11th, 2010

Although the advertising has been a little corny, we are still highly recommending the new men’s fragrance 1 Million by Paco Rabanne. It comes in a bottle the shape of a gold lingot (perhaps a real gold lingot would be slightly more pricey…??). If you care, it has notes of blood mandarin, peppermint, rose absolute, cinnamon, and leather accord–it comes across to us as a rugged scent but with a delicate touch for the ladies. It exudes power but with a gentle hand. Tell your girlfriends and wives it might be a nice holiday gift (wink, wink). Or, get it now:


Paco Rabanne 1 Million from $22-70

On Not Smelling Like an Armpit

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

I was doing a little research on men’s cologne the other day and found a few that were particularly appealing. Before purchasing a cologne consider the following:

–Don’t overuse it. Put one dab/spray on your neck in the morning or before your date.

–Good colognes are a little more expensive than Axe body spray, but even a little bottle should last a LONG time.

–Every man has a scent that will work best with their own skin. Try different ones out to find your best fit. Listen to the ladies too.
