CC reviews: More for the Metrosexual Male







- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

yes, the metrosexual (so 90's) male is the demographic of the moment. a literal explosion of brands catering to male vanity. and it's about time!

rexona v8 deodorant

love the yellow-black color. stands out in a sea of navy blues, greys and blacks. when i first tried it, i thought the scent was great. but when i got home, i felt differently. but ive started to use it, and it actually does a better job as a deodorant than nivea for men. it certainly lasts longer. four out of five.

suave men deep cleaning shampoo

nothing special about the product. scent is ordinary. my biggest complaint: why is there no conditioner counterpart? did they think men didn't use conditioners?!? two out of five

palmolive naturals cool dude shampoo & conditioner

the shampoo-conditioner hybrid is controversial for hair experts. but i use it anyway for the gym. i just dont feel like carrying two bottles around. it is mentholated. smells cool and clean. and feels cool. but i see this product positioned for teen males. ill use it still. four of five.

vaseline men face wash

packaging is too close to nivea. ( hey nivea, arent you going to sue?) but, but, but i detest the scent. it smells like skin lotion (which is their heritage)! one out of five. im forced to finish the product, knowing how oc-oc i am.

- i use this as well, or sometimes the regular deep cleansing by suave as well. this is supposed to be used to remove build up from hair products, and other shampoos/conditioners, hence no conditioner =) hope this jacks it up to 4/5 hehe

rexona v8 was really good when I tried it (because I got a few for free) but I still prefer good ol' old spice

I really like nivea facial foam. Nung maubos yun, i tried a bunch of others (loreal, arbonne, celetech) pero sa nivea facial foam pa rin ako bumalik balik. Mura pa hehe.

Dove men soap is pretty good too. It smells great. And their bodywash is nice as well

@anonymous Oh! is that so? hmm but hair experts claim that we need conditioners?!?

@nowitski thanks! tell us about your reviews, too!

@ghost cynical, much? :-)

@ming havent used Clear, thinking it's anti-dandruff and i don't have that problem, i think. hehe

@johnny yeah, nivea still rules face wash! dove soap i previously reviewed, not too kindly. hehe

I currently use Degree Adrenaline by Unilever USA. the best deodorant for me at this time. Before it was Gillette until it was out in the local supermarkets.
