Oh my dear boys, I haven’t forgotten your beauty needs also…
With days of constant shaving and razor burn, you boys need some of the best treatments when it comes to soothing and conditioning your skin. Whether you believe it or not, men actually have very sensitive skin. And with constant shaving, their skin is more prone to break outs, rashes, and more delicate behavior.
Well as always I am here to your rescue! With some of the best and again most affordable products out there. There are some fantastic men’s skin care routines that I would recommend.
From the top; I love Space.NK for their Blue line and MAN line. Both lines offer the key essentials; moisturizing and calming ingredients for the skin.
Space Nk Men Blue Shave Cream – $22.00
The Blue shave cream goes on with a smooth finish. With Meadow foam oil which gives a razor glide, and menthol to soothe the skin. Extra calming ingredients include aloe vera, chamomile and lavender essential oils.
Blue Eau De Toilette Space.NK – $65.00
Accompany your Blue shave cream with the Blue eau de toilette. This has a fresh aromatic blend of lime and grapefruit. Accompanied in a base of basil and lavender. And delicate top notes of geranium, amber, cedar leaf, patchouli and oak moss. Great to use as your morning and daytime fragrance.
Man Shave Cream Space.NK – $22.00
Space.NK Man has great skin conditioning and healing properties, infused with the woody oriental notes of the same evening fragrance.
Multi Tasking Aftershave Moisturizer by REN – $45.00
After you shave you most certainly need to moisturize. Use this REN lotion -a multi-active aftershave balm formulated to calm, moisturize and condition the skin. The active ingredients reduce inflammation. While polyphenols from the peppermint leaf juice cool, tone, and protect the skin from stress and pollution.
Now you can’t ever say that I don’t care about your beauty essentials also! If you have any further questions about your skin regimen, contact me and I will answer all your skin care needs! Also remember to let us know if you try using any of these wonderful products! And if so, let us know how you liked them! Ciao my beautynistas! (Men included)!

But we are sharing these very entertaining reviews with you! Exclusively from HSN! So watch the fun and exciting episodes from Hallie, Smith and Nicki! Remember to check out episode 7 which shows all the girls entertaining themselves with the beauty products shown in this weeks reviews!
M. Asam Tinted Day Cream – HSN Price: $24.95
I really loved this product. It has a smooth even finish upon application. And also a wonderful scent. Which I have found generic throughout the m.asam collection. If you like a light cream and foundation in one. Instead of a mineral make-up, this is a nice choice. Also I do enjoy the packaging and presentation of the m.asam brand. Being a european brand, you can tell that the beauty boutique essentials are in the details.
Here are some great tips to remember with tinted moisturizers;
1. Remember to match your color correctly. Best done with a small sample on your jaw line.
2. Tinted Moisturizers are great for a natural look.
3. Mix your concealer and moisturizer together for areas that need more attention, i.e. dark circles.
“This product is amazing.. I added a small amount using my foundation brush for a nice even coverage. And presto! I had a nice clean coverage. I think for those of you that don’t like to wear heavy foundation and just want something that even outs your skin tone I would highly recommend purchasing TagesCreme tinted DayCream.”

Nice berries, pinks, and darker shades of eye shadows. (My personal favorite is the dark grey with glitter). And of course those lighter beiges for a softer look. Plus the packaging is really neat and clever. Very cute, very clever design. Loved it!”

Couture in the City reader Shara asks:
Q:Â Will hot pink lips be trendy for spring/summer of 2009?
A: Hmmm…that’s a tough one Shara. Hot pink lips were trendy in the spring of ‘07, and are making huge waves now (Rihanna is always softening her edgy look with hot pink lips), so it’s hard to say. If you are itching to try a hot pink trend, I would do it now, at the tail end of summer and before winter sets in. Check out your local pharmacy and grab a few different hot pink shades to see what works best with your skin tone. You can work a hot pink lip right now in a very fierce way with a smoky eye and a sleek but chic ensemble.
My most favorite hot pink lip gloss is no longer available (the MAC Fafi edition…so perfectly punk), but you can still snap up some great pink shades from MAC. For a very high fashion look, go for a paler hot pink like Wonderstruck or Ensign from MAC:
The lighter shades of hot pink that were seen on the runway are the perfect compliment to winter florals, grays and muted shades of plum and navy. For a softer fall hot pink look, keep the rest of your color palette muted and make your lips the focal point.
My makeup trend forecast for fall calls for peachy lip glosses (just call it a hunch) so enjoy your pink lips now!
Got an insider tip on your favorite hot pink lip glosses? Leave a comment and let us know which is your favorite and why (not sticky, long lasting, tastes like strawberries, whatever…). Happy glossing!
