Hey!

Welcome to The Very Simon G. My blog has been going for nearly a decade, but there ain’t getting away from me just yet! Come in for fashion, fun and everything in between. Enjoy!

The Very Beauty & Grooming: Some of my favourites at the moment...

I don't think I'll ever do one of these without including something rose scented!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAI have to admit, I use so many products at the moment, I'm struggling to keep up with them all myself! I've got my essentials, like everyone, but I like it when you discover something new, and all of a sudden you HAVE to keep using it, forever, or else you'll not feel the same.A few here are examples of that.From clockwise:

* Elemis Deep Cleanse Facial Wash *

Ask a man if he cleanses his skin, and the answer will probably be no. But this takes all the scariness out of using a cleanser. A face wash that cleans all the impurities away, that you can use daily (even twice a day), is a yes in my books. It's a gel, and not a scrub, FYI.

* Korres Wild Rose 24-Hour Moisturising & Brightening Cream *

I'm sure I've spoken about this moisturiser before, but I can't stop singing its praises. It's my favourite of any moisturiser I've ever used. Yes, partly because it's rose, but also the fact it goes on smoothly, it's not too heavy or greasy, and it just makes your skin feel gorrrrrgeous! GET IT. NOW.

* REN Moroccan Rose Otto Body Wash *

You can just imagine how I feel about this. It smells and feels luxury, and is a beautiful way to wake yourself up in the morning. It doesn't last long, so use sparingly. Which is hard, because it is just soooo lovely!

* Neal's Yard Rejuvenating Frankincense Face Wash * 

I thought I'd give two face wash options. This is A LOT different to the Elemis Men's one. Neal's Yard is known for its incredible ingredients and fragrances, and this one, with apricot and jojoba oils, is a favourite of mine. It cleanses but doesn't dry out.

*Anatomicals You Need a Blooming Shower! Rose Body Cleanser *

So this is the cheaper version of the REN body wash. It looks like it's going to be super sweet and a bit sickly, and for non-rose lovers it probably is, but rather than smelling totally synthetic, it reminds me of a full bouquet of roses. And it's only £3.95!

* Schwarzkopf 3D Men Texture Clay *

It's really hard to describe hair stuff, but I know between the hubby and I, we use LOADS. This new clay is a favourite at the moment, which is hard to please both: I have curly hair, he has straight, and it holds and styles both. Not too heavy, or greasy, it's a good one to mix with your normal hair 'stuff'.
