This winter men’s underwear brand kust. and Lovem are collaborating on a four-phase sustainable self-care routine that will aim to transform the traditional approach to men’s health & beauty.
Their mission is aim to transform the direction of men’s skincare and will be a four-phase regimen to suit all skin tones and all sorts of daily pursuits that may cause stress to the skin.
Make-up for men is going mainstream with subtle products designed to enhance your best features and hide spots and general knackeredness. Some years ago make up for men was another one taboo, but not anymore. Debate what it means for masculinity if you like because we’re not going to.
We don’t think it’s really a revolution, or feminisation gone berserk. It’s just an option – one you can take or leave as you see fit to fine-tune your appearance.
Because , men get black spots before a date or dark circles after a long night working or clubbing.

American fashion brand Carolina Herrera has recently launched BAD BOY, a male companion to its Good Girl fragrance with a campaign that aims to portray the scent wearer’s electric attraction.
ALL ABOUT HER ‘BAD BOY’:
A strong oriental scent, crammed with fresh elements such as green bergamot, sage, and red and white pepper. In addition to this, the scent is then further-boosted by roasted amber wood, tonka bean, and cacao.
THE CAMPAIGN:
Featuring British actor Ed Skrein as the face of the new fragrance campaign. So good to be bad…
Sexy, elegant or spicy here are some of our favourite perfumes for this winter.
Dollar Shave Club Blueprint 201
Spicy and woody and warm, like the vapor rising up off a hot toddy in a snowed-in cabin.
Diptyque Eau de Minthé
Inspired by a Greek myth—minty fresh with nutmeg, lavender, and patchouli.
Montblanc Explorer Eau de Parfum
Herb (clary sage) on wood (cedar) on grass (vetiver)—like Big Sur in a bottle.
Floris Vert Fougère
A tenacious, multi-faceted fragrance reflecting a journey embarked upon by the Floris perfumers in pursuit of reimagining the iconic Fougère; the archetype of bold perfumery.
Gucci Mémoire d'une Odeur
Built around Roman chamomile, which ancient soldiers used in wartime for courage in battle.
