Disclosure: Complimentary samples of the above mentioned products were sent to me for an honest review.

I had the chance to try a sample of this on my hubby and I am loving the scent. With a top note of cucumber I wasn’t sure what I would think but the scents all blend together beautifully. A great fragrance for summer with the warm woodsy tones, definitely standing out as one of my fav new male fragrances. A very clean and sexy scent makes you want to take a little bite out of your man.

Inspired by visionary artists, icons and rebels who overcome adversity and make their mark, Diesel Only The Brave is a fragrance about making an impact. The scent represents the qualities of the brave, symbolized by a fist that tells several stories: facing forward, the fist evokes power and energy; upright, it stands for self-affirmation; raised, it signifies victory, success and engagement.

The Confident, Fashion-Forward Dad:

If dad is constantly updating his look, give him the ultimate accessory. A bold new scent, Express Honor captures downtown edge and big-city cool with one spritz. A watery, fresh and aromatic scent, Honor blends energizing top notes of fresh water accord, peppermint and basil, leading to a heart of grapefruit, fig and green ivy. The smoldering fragrance dries down to a base of musk, vetiver and a hint of vanilla. The fragrance is housed in an edgy, flask-shaped silver bottle which is emblazoned with Express’s signature lion logo.

American Idol legend Adam Lambert has good reason to defend his lavish use of eye make-up. He’s currently working on his own line of make-up for adventurous men. He feels even straight guys are likely to experiment with cosmetics. (Dave Navarro comes to mind.) The line doesn’t stop at guyliner – it will also feature everything from foundation, concealer, shadow, mascara, and lip gloss, to nail polish.

Father’s Day is just around the corner and I have some great last minute gift ideas for the dads in your life. My husband used to think a bar of soap was all you needed to wash your hair, body and face. In the last couple of years he has started to understand why I shudder when he washes his face with a bar of Irish Spring.

Now I notice my face wash and moisturizers disappear a little faster and he likes to “sample” products with me. For Father’s Day this year my husband is getting a bunch of great skincare products just for men from Crabtree & Evelyn.

I love the scent of the Nomad shave cream very woodsy and manly, it comes it a sleek glass jar and will make shaving a breeze. If your feeling really generous maybe you can give your husband a shave for Father’s Day channeling the infamous Phenomenon scene between Kyra Sedgewick and John Travolta. (check it out here)

Nomad

For a truly luxurious shave, we recommend using our rich shaving creams and a natural badger hair brush. Leaves skin feeling ultra smooth and scented with a refreshing blend of ginger, citron and bamboo. May be used without a brush as well.

My husband is hard to find shop for he doesn’t enjoy a product if it cost too much money and it’s hard to find a product he really loves. I hit the jackpot this Father’s Day with the Every Man Jack Beginner’s Luck Kit. He loved the wood grain design on the box and the products and he actually tried every product yesterday after I give him the kit. (I usually find men’s toiletry kits I have given him in a cupboard unopened months later)

It was nice to finally hit the bulls eye with a gift, he loved the fresh mint scent of all the products and said the after shave lotion is the best he has ever used and demanded I feel how soft his face was. I tried the face wash last night, I love the minty tingle and the fresh scent. One of the best parts of this great kit is the price, only $24.95 even for a girl on a budget it’s a great gift. Keep the Every Man Jack Beginner’s Luck kit in mind for birthdays or maybe a surprise for your significant other!
