Issue # 15 - Product Reviews
Well it's about that time again to review some of the more recent products I have tried out lately. Please keep in mind these are opinions, and if i put something down that you love, it does not call for rude emails.
Givenchy Blue Label Pour Homme -
This was recently given to me as a gift, and it's a fantastic scent! It's light and airy enough to be worn on hot summer days, but also warm and sensual enough to be worn at night and for formal occasions. The bottle is very interesting and the scent is very intricate. I personally love Givenchy fragrances, and they always come up with something excellent. The only downfall of this fragrance is it wears off a bit too quickly, especially if you are wearing it on a warmer day. In light of that i would keep this as more of a night time scent.
Degree Adrenaline antiperspirant -
The stick i am referring to is actually the Degree Adrenaline in the Yellow packaging, but i couldn't find the right photo. This product is fantastic. If you sweat easily like myself, especially in situations of stress, anger, excitement, or whatever, this is the stick for you. It actually does kick in when you need it to, and works well. The scents are iffy, especially if you're wearing a fragrance you want to be noticed, but it's worth it for excellent sweat protection.
Clinique Exfoliating Face Scrub for men -
Yes men, washing and scrubbing your face is something you should be doing. I know the majority of you think that using whatever bar of soap is handy and some cold water will do the trick, but really you're not really doing anything but giving yourself a tight dry face that smells like soap. This scrub, although a bit on the pricey side, will gently scrub the dead skin cells from your face, leaving you looking refreshed and brighter, which in turn will make you feel better. But don't take my word for it, pick some up and try it out. It will make a difference. (Also check out their shaving gel and pre shave scrub).
Ralph Lauren Candles -
These are AMAZING, and this wasn't a surprise. Anything that combines Ralph Lauren and fragrance is bound to be fantastic. These are no exception. I stumbled upon these by random at a discount store, and at first was disappointed because they boxes they come in are sealed, not allowing you to smell them. But upon smelling the box, the aroma of the candle actually comes through. I purchased one of them (i won't say which one, since it seems to be rare to find), and upon burning it briefly that night, returned the next day to purchase a second one, because it truly is a fantastic candle. I got mine for decently cheap, given the going rate of quality scented candles, but again, it was from a discount store, so i am not sure how much they cost regularly. But trust me guys, if you want a candle to set the mood, check these out.
Strut Wine -
I stumbled upon this wine because the packaging struck me, as did the overall design of the wine. It's clever and witty, and being a wine fan, i decided to check it out. I tested out both the "Chardonista" and the "Well Heeled White", and they are both fantastic. When chilled well, and poured with a spicy or savoury dish, it's perfect. It's also a conversation piece and it's a wine you don't need to be a snob to enjoy or talk about. Pick up a couple bottles and keep them on hand. One thing i have learned guys, is always keep some wine on hand and ready. Especially a wine as lighthearted and fun as Strut.
Well that's all for now, i will come back in a few issues with more product reviews! If there's anything you've tried out and love, let me know!
cheers,
