SCENT - Play by Givenchy modelled by Justin Timberlake


The scent by Givenchy, Play is woody with hints of mandarin and pink pepper. Just enough spice and sweetness to appeal to both men and women. I love the bottle, modelled on an I-pod with play icons and a tactile diffuser made from rubber.

The face of Play is none other than Justin Timberlake and if he can bring sexy back, then he is as good a judge as any. Check out the adverts below and you will see that he certainly looks the part...

THE GRAPEVINE - Guyliner


Is it edgy, girly or just for rock stars? As we come ever closer to full ranges of 'man make-up' I am trying to work out whether guys actually want to be able to enhance their look with cosmetics. Not many men that I know will be first in the queue for male foundation. In fact, most men have only recently started moisturising so throwing a whole host of beauty products at them seems more like a marketing ploy, than satisfying demand.

Superdrug will be stocking Guyliner priced at £6.50 and the claim is 'an accurate, subtle defined look to the contour of the eye, making them appear larger, more distinct and seductive'. The USP then is seductiveness. Making men more attractive to the opposite sex is always going to help push sales up. Realistically, Guyliner is more likely to attract Emo teens than businessmen in their late twenties.

Celebs spotted with the odd bit of eyeliner include Noel Fielding, Pete Wentz, Brandon Flowers and Russel Brand and us girls all thought Johnny Depp looked hot as Jack Sparrow. So maybe there is a place for it, I am just not convinced that it will catch on in the mainstream. Comments please...

MOST WANTED - Number (N)ine Wallet Chain



When it comes to a wallet and key chain, you really need something that sets you apart from every other kid with a silver chain hanging from their back pocket. This could very well be it. Made from leather and bronze with a triple looped chunky chain and arguably worth the hefty price tag. It is definitely sturdy and should last the test of time with ease.

WEBSITE OF THE WEEK - Meat and Cheese


A friend of mine recommended this website to me and with a name like Meat and Cheese, I just had to give it a look. There are lots of websites offering smutty slogan T-shirts but this one has something extra. 'Pornoflage' cargo shorts and pants emblazoned with the word 'Meat' have an originality which is hard to find on the web nowadays.

The real appeal of the site though is not the products, although they are great, it is the sarcasm and humour underlying every word you read. If you have a few minutes to spare, make sure you read the small print. I will be very surprised if it does not prompt a smile. I laughed out loud in fact.

I recommend you buy these...

PRODUCT OF THE WEEK - Schick Quattro Razor


The Quattro Titanium Trimmer promises a smooth and comfortable shave and really does deliver. The razor is the first to feature an adjustable four level trimmer to keep facial hair neat and tidy and it also has titanium coated blades and a precision edging blade for those harder to reach places.


The beard trimmer is a really handy extra, and doesn't add too much bulk to the razor itself. It is a convenient grooming tool there to use whenever you need it. There is no need to buy several gadgets when this one product does all the things you need it to. The product is particularly useful for those who choose to have a defined facial hair only on certain areas of the face.

My product tester said ' not only did my face feel really smooth, I was able to trim my beard at the same time without the added hassle of using hair clippers' He added, 'this is definitely a product I would buy myself and use regularly. '


If you feel like a bit of a laugh too, why not upload your face and star in your own Schick commercial. Just visit the website here

CHARITY - Breakthrough Breast Cancer


Did you know that around 300 men are diagnosed with breast cancer each year in the UK? It may seem strange, but it is proof that this type of cancer is not just a concern for women.

Breakthrough this year launched the largest ever study into male breast cancer and this research aims to identify potential causes of the disease by investigating genetic, environmental and behavioural risk factors.

So if you have some spare change why not donate to this worthy cause, or even better, sign up to one of their charity sporting events and get fitter at the same time. It is a win, win situation! Male celebrity supporters include Alan Carr and Joseph Fiennes.

Visit the website for more details on how you can make a difference
