 Your average male is oddly secretive when it comes to fashion and beauty.
Men go through great lengths to ensure you don’t find out they flip through your glossy magazines (likely reading up on those Cosmo tips!) and rifle through your beauty arsenal when you’re not around, but if they happen to be over and need some hair product, they’ll sheepishly ask. The best thing to do, in this case, is provide them with a wee arsenal of their own.
My recommendation is to go with Every Man Jack, an afforable, male-conscious range of products — for hair, body, skin and shave — made in the great NoCal city of San Francisco.

 Jean Paul Gaultier brought back the cone bra in the 80s, thanks to his fashion collaboration with Madonna, and recently announced his intention to launch a children’s clothing line this coming January.
JPG is now turning his design sights on making sure everyone drinks that necessary life elixir and skin-saving liquid: water.

 Dark circles under the eye are telltale signs that you either had a big night out with the girls, been inflicted with random bouts of insomnia, stayed up late watching back-to-back DVD episodes of Dexter or inherited a rather unfortunate aesthetic hereditary trait from the fam.
The bad news is you can’t erase dark under eye circles from existence, despite beauty products here, there and everywhere saying they can do it for you. And even worse news is they tend to get more prominent with age, as the delicate skin under the eyes gets thinner and blood vessels get more visible.

 The search for youth and beauty just got a little weirder — and ickier.
Elicina, a skincare line from Chile, promises to trigger collagen formation, clear pores, nourish skin, improve elasticity, restore skin color, regenerate damaged tissue and, basically, give you perfect skin.
It all sounds fantastic, doesn’t it?
Elicina might work for you if you’re not squeamish about creepy, crawly creatures. Namely, snails.

 Admit it.
You like gold on your fingers, around your wrist, dangling from your ears and hanging from your neck.
But how about having it slathered all over your face?
 Gone are the days when men sneak into their ladies’ bathroom cabinets for a squirt of body wash or a scoop of La Mer.
More and more, men are turning to brands like Jack Black, Anthony Logistics and French-based Sothys Homme, particularly that latter because of the brand’s male-friendly ingredient phytomalt, a hydroglycolic complex that comes from the distilled malt of Scottish whiskey.

 You know how it goes.
It’s the end of a particularly harried day of your boss has been breathing down your neck and deadlines looming faster than Molly Sims says yes to a red carpet event, and all you want to do is rest and rejuvenate. After all, no woman enjoys looking like she was put through the wringer — and there’s nothing a little cleansing and perhaps an episode of Gossip Girl can’t cure.

 When the weather turns, aesthetics go awry.
Hair gets frizzy, skin gets dry and cuticles start to peel — not the greatest way to segue into fall/holidays seasons.

 One of the best-kept secrets at New York Fashion was not what backdoor entrance Anna Wintour was coming through or just what Leighton Meester was taking to make it front-row to all those Spring ‘09 shows.
New York Fashion Week’s best-kept secret came from the French Alps in a spray bottle: The Evian Brumisateur.
