  • Cologne is often a product that men really know very little about. More often than not cologne is not even bought by the guy who’s going to be wearing it”¦it’s bought by the significant other who wants you to smell a little bit better than Aqua Velva. So not only do we have to handle <... >

  • You may have looked over that Little Penguin walking across one of the many labels in your local wine shop, and thought that it just blends in with the plethora of other wines trying to capitalize on a flourishing market by draping their vino with a cartoonish logo. The Little Penguin is much more than just another fun brand”¦they actually provide a fantastic wine! But we’ll get back to the wine in a minute; there’s a little bit more to this story”¦

    The Little Penguin is marching on to do a little something special for the environment!

  • Do you want to look like you were riding the waves all day, even if you were stuck in front of a computer? Bumble and Bumble’s Surf Spray make you look refreshed, like you spent the day relaxing on a Hawaiian beach. This unique thickening spray gives hair that tousled, beach volleyball-playing, breezy look with the simplest application.

    After towel-drying hair, spritz some Surf Spray on and lightly rub it into your hair, gently lifting the roots with your fingertips. You can either blow-dry your hair or let it air-dry. The product plumps up the hair shaft, increasing volume with a matte finish. Surf Spray gives your hair a more solid texture, but contains a seaweed extract to lock in moisture. It is not stiff or sticky. It leaves your hair soft and tousled so you can run your fingers through it with ease. My husband’s usually fine hair was transformed into a fuller-looking style after applying Surf Spray and blow-drying. It only took under 7 minutes for a carefree, surfer hairstyle.

    Although Surf Spray is unisex, it works especially well for men trying to achieve a sexy, ruffled, natural look without trying too hard or weighing their hair down with a lot of product. You can make a splash without ever leaving the indoors!

  • “American Graffiti” captured that nostalgic end of summer feeling: the desire for that one last fling before school starts again, no matter how long it’s been since graduation. There’s something about classic cars and pompadours that get a girl’s engine revvin’!

    Let American Greaser Supply help you channel your inner rockabilly with one of their three pompadour-perfecting formulas: 40wt (Forty Weight) Kustom Pomade, 90wt Flat-Top Wax and, for those who dare, Super 90wt. Flat-Top Wax, also known as “the world’s thickest flat-top wax since 1997.” American Greaser began in the Kansas kitchen of Todd and Leslie Karnahan and has managed to stay true to its small-company roots, though it’s become internationally popular and available worldwide.

    You’ll want to choose your weight based on the intensity of your “pomp”. Forty weight is best for shorter styles and flat tops. It’s got some shine to it, too. Ninety weight is what you’re looking for if your pomp’s a little higher or your hair’s a little thicker. And if you’re looking for a really strong hold, for those punk rock spikes, super high pompadours or really thick hair, it’s the Super 90wt for you! Kool kats blend the formulas to get just the exact degree of hold and shine they’re looking for.

    The best part is its clean, non-waxy smell. Unlike many waxes and pomades, American Greaser succeeds in maintaining a flexible hold without being too heavy or greasy. It’s sticky, that’s for sure, and will leave a residue, so running your fingers through your hair before grabbing your gal’s hand is probably a bad idea. Hey, that’s what the comb in your back pocket is for anyway!

  • Historically, beauty products have largely been associated with women. Hair care, cuticle cream, moisturizer; the list goes on and on. Women swear by an endless spectrum of self-beautifying products. So naturally, who can blame men for shying away from any product that seems the slightest bit girly? Most men, if not all, believe that if they use grooming products they will seem too feminine.

    However, in the past few years, with the introduction of the Metrosexual (yes, I get manicures, facials and I DO wear gel in my hair) the tides have changed and men are coming to embrace the better points of good grooming. In the spirit of evolution, there is a new breed of new men’s grooming products on the market that appeal to the manly man. Tailgating no longer means clogged pores.

    Enter Nivea for Men’s Deep Cleaning Face Scrub. This specially formulated product gently purifies skin and helps clear away build up dirt and dry rough skin while helping prevent clogged pores. It leaves skin kissably smooth and invigorated.

  • Transitioning from spring to summer can be difficult on the skin for men and women alike. Luckily, cult men’s line Malin & Goetz has solutions for summer skin problems.

    This oil-free and residue-free sunscreen is great for problem skin types.

    Don’t be emasculated by the shower pouf, boys. Real men do use shower gels.
    This refreshing and cooling cleanser contains 2.0% Eucalyptus Extract and Amino Acids. It’s a mild cleanser that gets the job done, leaving skin feeling clean but never tight.

    Body scrubs become essential in the summertime, as city grime sticks to the strangest spots on every man’s body. Try this foaming gel scrub which contains 1.5% Peppermint Extract (to invigorate), bamboo & pumice (to exfoliate) and Amino Acids (to retain moisture). For those guys not in the know, regular exfoliation sheds dead skin and stimulates cell renewal. And trust me when I say it’ll make your skin irresistibly touchable to that one special or, er, all the special women in your life.

    Happy Grooming & Happy Summer!
