There are a lot of fellows who go beyond the for-men-only products lining store shelves when it comes to their personal care – just like two of View the Vibe’s own dudes, Adam Mazerall and Philip Mak. We decided to have them run down some of their fave “beauty” products that are typically marketed to the fairer sex but work just as fine on the more rugged of us humanoids…

Male

Philip’s Picks
NoHo Black Leather Nail Polish from Nails Inc.
Philip says: “Because of its cracked, matte effect it’s not super glossy and feminine. Admittedly, it’s still nail polish but that doesn’t mean us adventurous guys can’t try it out from time to time. Can I get an aMEN?”

Quo Acetone Nail Polish Remover
Philip says: “When I put on nail polish, I don’t mess around taking it off. Acetone for the win.”

Inhibitif
Philip says: “While not exclusively marketed to or for women, I am probably the only guy I know doing the Inhibitif 8-Week Challenge. Try it guys! It really does keep that fuzz away. Spoiler Alert: You’ll be more hairless than a Chinese crested by the end of it.”

Victoria’s Secret Self-Bronzer
Philip says: “People think my half-Asian genetics give me this glow. They’ll never know my Victoria’s Secret. FYI, I only actually use it for special occasions when I think I’ll be taking my shirt off like the cottage, weddings, and Saturdays.”

Hope

Adam’s Picks
Nivea Happy Time Shower Cream
Adam says: “Shower time will always be a Happy Time (pardon the ill-thought-out pun) with Nivea’s citrus-scented body wash, even if you’re flying solo under the shower head.”

Kiehl’s Powerful Wrinkle Reducing Cream
Adam says: “As someone who perpetually makes his face contort to scarifying effect, this moisturizer’s got what it takes to keep my ever-aging skin from looking like a leather handbag… or, you know… Meg Ryan’s twin.”

Philosophy Hope in a Jar
Adam says: “Apparently it’s formulated without a whole bunch of standard chemicals that actually do damage to your skin. All I know is it smells delovely and keeps my hide from being hardened criminal tough.”

Tweezerman Slant Tweezer
Adam says: “Just to clean up the unibrow, obvee. Oh! And for for cleaning out the gunk in your sink.”
