I know I was the last man to find out about Philips OneBlade – and personally I’m a little sad that none of my men didn’t DM me and tell me I happen to know I have 1 or 2 drag queens who follow me – and I know it’s very large within the drag community, although with that thought I’ve never voiced my hate for shaving and getting razor burn easily so that might be my bad so its 50 / 50 blame game.

Anyone of my dudes out there who didn’t know there was a saviour out there, I got you! Every male should know about Philips OneBlade just because it’s one of the best grooming tools I have ever used. Men don’t talk about their skin a lot or really take care of it but they should, most men suffer from sensitive skin but don’t do anything about it when they should be.

OneBlade is waterproof but I wouldn’t recommend bringing it into the shower with you, you can just wash the tip after you are done with it and spray with a alcohol spray to insure the blade is fully clean and ready for your next use.

Trim ➡️ Trim your beard to a precise stubble length. 3 stubble combs included: 1 mm for a tight trim, 3 mm for stubble and 5 mm for long stubble.

Edge ➡️ Create precise edges with the dual-sided blade. You can shave in either direction to get great visibility and see every hair that you’re cutting. It stays comfortable even on sensitive areas, so it’s fast and easy to line up your style in seconds.

Shave ➡️ OneBlade doesn’t shave as close as a traditional blade – so your skin stays comfortable. Go against the grain and shave off any length of hair easily.

Guard ➡️ Attach the skin guard for an extra layer of protection on sensitive areas.I don’t think that any man would be unhappy with this grooming tool, as a gift or just because you love him or to treat yourself, it’s the ultimate tool and its my first Can’t Live Without ’19 item because I tried even to just shave normally and it was uncomfortable and I got that stupid bumps from the razor it doesn’t matter of there is one blade to 8 blades, it always happens to me from sensitivity.

FIVE MINUTE READ | STRIVECTIN SKINCARE | YES? OR NO? | M X T C

Hey there guys and girls and everything in between, how goes? Happy Monday, I hope you all had a great weekend. If you live in Canada I’m sure you’ve heard of or seen a Rexall well today on of my top picked skincare brands is launching into Rexall called StriVectin, yes, you call still find StriVectin in stores such as Sephora and larger luxury stores such as Holt Renfrew but for Rexall to be starting to expand and welcome in newer larger skincare brands into their skincare section is huge to me! Let’s break down some of my top pick from the brand, 3, 2, 1…

StriVectin is known for its scientific approach to skincare. (It’s actually one of the few skincare brands that puts all of its finished formulas through independent clinical testing and shares the results with customers.) In keeping with their results-are-everything mission, StriVectin’s latest line of products is all about effective formulas and tangible results.

The Pro Glowfoliant Mix-in Microderm Crystals is, above all else, about function. The cap of the container even has a hidden spoon (that feels very Spy Kids-ish) to make scooping the crystals as easy as possible. Once mixed with your cleanser of choice, the dermatologist-grade, AHA-infused microdermabrasion crystals help to gently exfoliate your skin in just 15 seconds.

SIDE NOTE ➡️ after 4 weeks of continued use, participants saw even more results. 90% said that their skin looked “brighter and more radiant.” That’s not all. 90% also reported that it was the most effective exfoliator that they’d ever used.

I have a history of over-exfoliating, so I took the instructions for this product very seriously. Turns out, following the directions actually does work—at least, in this case, it did. The whole application was easy, if specific. And the microderm crystals weren’t as intimidating as I imagined them to be. They blended easily with my cleanser and didn’t cling to my skin when it was time to rinse. No stray, sandy patches to be found.

A few hours later, I was still touching my cheeks every couple of hours, surprised by how soft they felt. (I guess this is what a good exfoliation looks and feels like?! Who knew!) In all honesty, I don’t think my skin was this baby-soft even when I was an actual baby, so this exfoliator is definitely a winner in my book.

MAKEUP BAGS, AND YOU | MXTC

Happy Sunday to you, oh yeeeees grandma you! Welcome to MAKEUPxTHECITY, do you ever just wake up in such a good mood, knowing your love is beside you, I know I am the only one who wakes up at (and anywhere between) 4:00am-6:30am I just can’t help it, now don’t get it twisted, I could fall back to sleep! I just love my little drive to get my espresso and my coffee downtown, typically I go for a run but with the snow I go every other day; I always have such a love hate relationship with the weekend, don’t get me wrong I enjoy not putting so much time into work and having some time to write which sometimes I will write a couple of things and send them in a draft to the brand, or company or whatever, saying this has already been set and timed to a day, these are my thoughts – if its a sponsored post or whatever it is, I don’t allow them to change my words as once it is locked in to go, it can’t be changed which I love a lot about working with TrustPilot and I thank them allowing me to handle my own PR for my own space and be my own management, back to what I’m here to talk about! I know you all like my little rants, and talks in my introduction!

Today I want to talk about a few makeup bags that are for more personal use or for a small set call, you can also keep them within your luggage or weekend bag as a little add on and they are absouloutly stunning especially if you like classic, clear, halo type, toss and go, or organize to the gods.

Some are a little more exspensive and some are a little cheaper but none are a lacking quality and protection of whatever is inside! That’s a promise!

Firstly, we have Artis and you know I don’t mess around with price tags if the quality is there, yes, oh yes, my PR list grows and grows but it is in no way like oh hi, yes, I ran out of my liquid diamond gel can you sent me another one! thanks sooooooooooooo much. Yeah no it just doesn’t work like that, PR is for influencers to one – try the product or whatever first, two – for consideration to write about or blog about it and get it across to your subscribers, three – repurchase. Yes they are good with sending a package on or around your birthday of some items they know and are aware that you like, which is super sweet and they do not have to do that!

But back to Artis and their makeup holders, they change by season and by holidays, for example for Valentine’s day they became red which I really applicate having different colors, especially for travel, and on the note of travel they also come in small, medium and large – all of the bags from Artis has a place for your needed brushes to remain safe and on the other side a mesh bag (see photos below) the newer bags are very beautiful they are fully black with a thin layer of plastic around the zipper, with ARTIS over pattern, one of my personal favourites.

SIDE NOTE ➡️ Artis is giving away a luxury makeup case as a gift right now when you spend $75+ which is a good deal considering the price of the bag alone.

The next makeup bag is Ariana Grande approved, its from the brand TheMakeupDrop, and the reason I say its Ariana Grande approved is for good reason for her new tour all of the bags you bring in have to be clear so that security can see what you have inside, we all remember what happen at the singers concert in Manchester, sadly and truthful absouloutly devastating and wrong, anyways to take a look at Ariana Grande$8.00 tour bags check it out here on iheartradio that’s getting a bit off topic but it falls under the realm of something that is important to shine light on, for me anyway, one of the best parts of this bag also if it’s only $15.00 which is a great price for everyone!
