Aftershave balm and more

Advantages: Relieves burning sensation, irritation, cools
Disadvantages: The price but read the review.

...the ease of what I use is very important also. After office hoarse and during holidays, we, some selected friends and office colleagues usually gather around a spot and bide our time discussing politics, sports, the latest sexy starlets, for that matter everything under the earth. Generally there are guys who get hooked to the TV when time permit. A participants of our leisure joint is one of those TV addicts and he mentioned a commercial of Nivea for men after shave balm. Since one of my committed brand is Nivea, I thought to give this product a try. I must say I have not selected a wrong product in choosing Nivea for men aftershave balm After using it the first day I realized that the burning sensation and irritations after shaving receded noticeably quickly, I was very satisfied. Allantoin, the anti-irritant works perfectly. In fact it...

Review of Nivea for Men Aftershave Balm

Nivea Balm

Advantages: It sooths the skin,it is good value for money
Disadvantages: None that i can think of.

...Im probably like most men and really do not like shaving at the best of times and really have an issue with finding an aftershave balm which either doesn?t sting or irritate me to the point it burns my face. I came across Nivea Balm as a Christmas present from my sister and though t I would do a review on it. The Packaging It comes in a cardboard box resembling the size of a small notepad, the bottle inside comes in a thick white glass container which has a dark blue box on the front with the Nivea motif in white inside it. The bottle itself is quite heavy but this makes it durable and can take a drop on the floor as I have done a couple of times when I have wet hands. There is a thick plastic lid on the top which is a simple pop off lid and very sturdy. On the reverse is the usual information on applying and the manufacturer...

Joop Homme Aftershave

Advantages: Great smell
Disadvantages: Cost

...Joop! So good they named it with an exclamation mark. So great they made it appear almost arrogant in it's naming. A risk? Of course, this stuff is a cracking aftershave and fragrance. Joop is the brain child of German fashionist Wolfgang Joop, so no need to question where he got the name from...Other than that, it's not very exciting - since 1997, Joop's products have been sold through Joop GmbH, which is clearly visible on the side of the packaging, and here is there main male product - "Homme." The packaging is much of what you'd expect - quite non-descript yet alluring by making you want to know what it smells like, in a dark red/pink colour, shading to black the further you go up the packet. Inside the cardboard outer case is the clear glass bottle with the pinkish-red liquid. The dark crimson lid is easily pulled off to...

Review of Joop Homme Aftershave

A balm that will drive you barmy!

Advantages: Fresh, citrus fragrance
Disadvantages: No moisturising or soothing effect at all!!!

...Hopefully, you readers will now have realised that I have no problem at all admitting to my daily skincare regime, and publicly reviewing the results of my product usage. I feel that it's important for us men to look after ourselves and, as I say to my other half, I don't get to look this good without effort!!! However, this regime can be expensive, and fraught with danger in the pursuit of the perfect product (am I thinking about this TOO much?), and one of the major catastrophes along the way has been to buy a bottle of this Clinique Happy for Men After Shave Balm. I love "Happy", it's my favourite fragrance, but this just didn't work!! The Balm ************** Clinique Happy for Men After Shave Balm is part of the Clinique Happy range, which includes shower gel, deodorant spray, Eau de Toilette and after shave, all carrying...

Review of Clinique Happy Aftershave Balm

The Balm before the scorn

Advantages: Does exactly what it says on the tube.
Disadvantages: I may have to go into Boots and buy some more

...If you have read my last review (and if not, why not?) you will see that I have finally started to shave. The trouble with having such baby soft skin is that shaving can leave you feeling a little sore and you need to apply something to restore moisture to your face. Traditional alcohol based aftershaves are good for cleansing but have the distinct disadvantages of often smelling like a tart's handbag and sting like crazy. Why any sane person should want to put themselves through this kind of torture is completely beyond me. When I was shopping for the shaving gel I saw this aftershave balm in the same range. So, tell me Jeff, what's it all about? = I'm glad you asked me that. It comes in a 100ml tube. It is white in colour and smells of cleanness. No strong perfumes, no alcohol stinging...

Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

Advantages: Luxury, Feels lovely
Disadvantages: Can irritate some skins

...Rightio, before I start Id just like to point out that the cheapest price advertised with this product on ciao is £22. Thats actually higher that the RRP for this product and I know that is it £16 from wowwoman.com with free p&p. Be careful if you buy more than 1 item from this site thiough as any items you buy from Hong Kong over £18 come with an £8 customs charge. **************************** I got my Beauty Flash Balm, or Baume Beaute Eclair as it is also known, from wow woman after seeing it in endless magazines and such for years and years. For some reason I have always been mental about beauty products and since I was about 7 Ive been making a mental list of all the things I want. Whwn I got my first student loan a couple of years ago I embarked on a massive beauty splurge and have spent unspeakable amounts of cash on things...

Review of Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

Balm away your sins!

Advantages: It refreshes
Disadvantages: Rather expensive

...Although I love Dermalogica the reason why I was quite tempted to buy this product is the claim that this balm gives you in saying that it erases the signs of fatigue. I thought it would be quite clever to use it especially the morning after a late night, when my skin looks dull and tired. Clarins claims that this product does the following: - Promotes immediate and long-lasting radiance. - Firms and helps minimise fine lines and wrinkles. - Smoothes and softens skin. - Strengthens and refines the contours of the face; skin regains firmness and suppleness. WHAT IS IT? ********** This face cream is in fact a balm, it is slightly thicker in texture neverthelsess it absorbs very easily and leaves you with a refreshing sensation as if you have used a gel. This product has a creamy colour with a nice and cool smell, very...

Review of Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

wonder balm

Advantages: Gives skin an instantaneous radiant and healthy glow., Improves skin's texture
Disadvantages: a bit pricey

...Advantages Gives skin an instantaneous radiant and healthy glow., Improves skin's texture, Make-up lasts much longer Disadvantages If used in combination with Clarins' oil-free foundation, the foundation may form fine flakes when applying over balm. As female consumers, we are frequently bombarded with advertisements relating to beauty products, professing dramatic and immediate results. It is aptly named beauty FLASH balm, as results are instantaneous. Upon application, the skin has a marked radiance. I have often found that I do not even have to apply liquid foundation, as one's skin texture is markedly improved. Fantastic for those of us who love a natural look! Its main advantages include:- Gives skin a radiant, healthy glow; Firms skin texture; Make-up lasts longer; Improves elasticity of skin and Reduces lines...

Review of Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

Aramis Life - Men's Aftershave

Advantages: Good for everyday, general use.
Disadvantages: A little expensive. Can be overpowering.

...of citrus and spice which was not ? in my view anyway ? objectionable. The proof of the pudding is that having sat here twenty minutes later, its still pleasant, and most important for me ? unobtrusive yet noticeable. Although I like my aftershave (when I do use it) to be bracing (think sea breeze) this one is growing on me. PRICE & AVAILABILITY As mentioned, mine was a gift, and it doesn?t look like the non-pump ?splash? version is currently readily available. That said, a quick look around the net shows that the 100ml spray pump ?vaporisateur? version is available for between £25 and £40. It also comes in smaller 50ml bottle and a 30ml travel version. The products in the range include a shaving gel and an aftershave balm ? though the logic of soothing your face before frying it with this stuff escapes me. VERDICT Despite my...
