MAX WAX Helps Your Man Get His Wax On! (If you can get him to agree to go...)

By TheGlamtastic · December 28, 2010 · 0 Comments ·

Why is it that women spend hours and paychecks, and endure intense pain to make sure their bikini lines are perfectly manicured? Not to pick on men, but I don't know any men that spends $75 at Bliss Spa for a bikini wax. I don't know any men that wax below the belt. Period.


If men think about sex every three seconds, they must think about grooming every three days. Mind you, this is based on my oh-so-handsome husband who I have to pay to exfoliate his face with the most luxurious of Art of Shaving products.


Well guys, it's your turn! MAX WAX, one of Manhattan's premier waxing salons, features an entire menu devoted to a men's grooming needs. They offer individual services, everything from an eyebrow wax to an arm wax for men. Additionally, they offer some fabulous packages. My favorite being the maxwax mr. universe: Full Legs, Full Arms, and Bikini Line ($135).


MAX WAX also offers wonderful waxing services for women. I must warn you, they mean business. This is the perfect waxing salon for the super busy New Yorker, who has 30 minutes to her her eyebrows waxed and get back to the office.

Are Gorilla's Sexy? GORILLA Warfare™ Hair Minimizing Antiperspirant Deodorant

By TheGlamtastic · June 18, 2010 · 0 Comments ·

I'll admit it. Perhaps I'm a tad jaded. After working in the beauty biz, it's hard to impress me with a totally unique product; something really innovative, something I have never seen before. Whether my jaw drops in awe or in disgust, it doesn't matter. If a product can get a rise out of me, it's worth further investigation. Scrolling the pages of Sephora,com for my online lotions and potions fix, I spotted it - Gorilla Warfare Hair Minimizing Antiperspirant.

 

Maybe it's the name that threw me off or the image of the cartoon purple gorilla. Not exactly the sexy, chic or sleek marketing that gets me hot and bothered.

 

Who likes shaving? Silence. Who likes sweatiy, smelly armpits, B.O.-cursed dresses and funky smelling tank tops? Nobody outside of the zoo! However, as beauty has become more and more aspirational throughout the past few years, promising the consumer a moment in time or a forbidden kiss, seeing this made me think of a smooch from a big, fury friend.

 

It's created WITHOUT synthetic dyes or fragrances.

 


Have you tried it???? Tell us what you think!!!

 

 

 

 

Shave It or Bare It?

Please note: I did not receive editorial samples.
It's freezing! Before I exit my apartment, I bundle up in my warmest Burberry scarf, earmuffs, hat and gloves, and zip myself into my "Marshmallow Man" coat. However, the minute I walk outside my freshly shaven, silky legs are covered in goose bumps! I HATE WINTER!

In the winter, most women I know spend so much time hydrating dry skin, exfoliating or just keeping warm, that shaving sometimes tumbles down the priority list and ends up landing near the bottom with trash old beauty magazines or clean out the fridge.

After polling my friends, I want some fresh data. I want to know what YOU think!!!

Pop Quiz:

When It comes to your legs, are you a:
A) Waxer
B) Shaver
C) Other ________________ (NAIR, Lazer Girl, Pray for the hair to stop growing, etc)

In the winter months, would you say that you shave your legs:
A) Once a week to avoid feeling like a guerilla
B) Every few days
C) Everyday - it's a must on my list

Your main motivation for shaving your legs is:
A) Hygiene
B) I don't want to get caught in a make-out session with hairy legs
C) I prefer the way it looks and feels

After spending my Valentine's Day in a tight, hot pink belted Rebecca Taylor dress (yes, it was so hot), black stockings and super high booties, my silky legs were shaking and I was craving a hoodie! Apparently, that's not a sexy look. Who knew?!

Tell us your winter beauty secrets! When it comes to winter beauty maintenance, would you prefer to shave it or bare it?
