Redken Roundup

Grip Tight Holding Gel

I figured I'd start this post with a type product I have almost no familiarity with. I typically keep my hair pretty short so gel is something I almost never have a use for. So, it was near serendipitous that I was asked to test Redken for Men's Grip Tight Holding Gel and found myself needing it almost a week later.

I was asked to attend a formal function last-minute and found myself without the time to get a much needed haircut. In an effort to tame my shaggy locks, I turned to the gel. The scent is the typical fresh, clean smell that you get from a lot of men's products and by no means should you take that as a negative. The gel is surprisingly thin, and not overly sticky--something I always assumed about gels. It gave my hair light, healthy looking sheen while allowing me to comb it into something respectable-looking and never hardened up (another general assumption of mine.) I'm happy to say it held up for the duration of the event. Basically, if you're a regular gel user, I think this is definitely a worthwhile product to have on your shelf.

Two more after the jump...

L'OCCITANE Shaving gel

I just finished a can of L'Occitane shaving gel. It is probably the best gel I have ever used. It was light, with great aroma, spread easily an made for easy clean up. The label boasts about its silky foam, and that it was. It is a great product.
Did I mention how easy it rinses both off the face and off the sink?

H2O+ Men's



Oasis™ Men Energizing Facial Scrub


Oasis™ Men Oil-Free Post Shave Balm
Oasis™ Men Energizing Facial Scrub
Oasis™ Men Oil-Free Post Shave Balm

My nephew, a man of few words, tried these products.
He said, "over all I liked the blue h20 facial products except for when I misread the label."

Boy-to-reviewer interpretation: 
Good products, not too smelly. 
Work well, no zits or irritation.
Don't use the scrub (or the others) near your eyes.
He liked them, so they must be great!
