April Empties

Words by Matt Huxley Let’s go through my trash: Stefan Shave Oil: Phenomenal, loved every second of using it. It has this effect of clumping up your beardsy bristles so that they’re easier to remove. Great product. Lush Snow Fairy: Made me smell like a candy scented goddess so what’s not to love? Bathox Rose…

Review: Rosehip Plus

Words by Matt Huxley Rosehip Plus is one of those ubiquitous brands in the bathroom closets of the world. Chances are you heard some new age genie sprouting the benefits of Rosehip oil and happened upon this reliable brand in Chemist Warehouse. Well. Rosehip Plus is so much more than that little brown bottle of oil…

The Male Makeup Conundrum

Words by Matt Huxley Firstly yes it’s been a while. Secondly I’m not sorry. I feel like lately the whole “should men wear makeup” issue has been back on everyones lips.

V Day Alone Time

Words by Matt Huxley As someone who has spent the past 24 Valentine’s Days alone, I am no stranger to the bleak depression and hatred that washes over you like a storm cloud when you have a Facebook feed full of “happy” couples. The majority of whom started dating the previous week. Whilst I’m a…

My Highlighter Collection

Words by Matt Huxley Look. I’ve never been one to do things by half, and that principle certainly applies when buying stuff. I am a marketer’s dream, my ambition only being limited by my non-existent budget. A bargain bin excites me like nothing else (except perhaps a buffet) and when it comes to makeup, highlighters…

My Iconic Skincare Products

Words by Matt Huxley The word iconic tends to get bandied around a bit in skincare circles. Every other month a company has their new “iconic” product out that promises to be even better than the last range. Of course by and large this is just marketing, but sometimes you do stumble across a product…
