Alphabetical order:
Brad Sea Minerals Purify Cleanser: A great detoxifying cleanser that is very gentle for even normal skin. Lots of skin nourishing essential oils, retinols, and minerals to sooth and revitalize skin. Said to fade scars and brighten skin, but I have not seen this happen. Despite that, a very good regular cleanser to have in your skincare arsenal. Perfect at the end of long days spent outside.

Jack Black Beard Lube: (razor not shown) A very cool and refreshing cream that takes on three rolls, essential for a busy weekend out! It is shave oil, shave cream, and facial treatment in one. It is very light and has Jojoba and Eucalyptus to texturize facial hair and condition skin. Plays well with razors for a fine close shave in minutes. A must-have travel item for guys.
Jack Black Sun Guard SPF 45: A heavy duty sunscreen for when time calls for a serious sunscreen. Oil free and paraben free, this sunscreen is packed with vitamins (Plantago Leaf Extract, Calendula Extract, Edelweiss Water, Vitamin C) and a healthy dose of physical and chemical sunscreens. A bonus, this sunscreen is water and sweat resistent which means good long term wear in the outside heat! This was MADE for Coachella!
John Varvatos Artisan: A subtle choice that exudes understated masculinity with a modern edge, Artisan is a class apart from all major fragrances. It is light, delicate, and evolving. The top notes are unmistakably citrusy, that develops with a twist into a modern woodsy scent that doesn't risk offending. Strong enough to be present while keeping the air of mystery. This is a scent for the guy who does not seek to be loud but rather quietly captivating.
Omorovizca Balancing Moisturizer: A cooling and light gel cream that keeps skin happy and hydrated through the day (and night) without disturbing skin's natural sebum production. A lot of moisturizers I use tend to leave my skin with a greasy shine which leads to breakouts by the end of the day if I'm not careful. This balancing moisturizer makes sure the grease and sebum production are in check which is so important when you're outside and might get sweaty. This keeps skin hydrated without risking the grimy feel at the end of the day.
Tata Harper Rejuvenating Serum: A anti-aging treat from New York socialite Tata Harper's line of all natural, green beauty products. This uses 29 actives to stimulate collagen and restore skin vitality and radiance. The rejuvenation is key for so much environmental exposure and I look forward to using this light cream at night to bring my skin back to health.
Tom Ford Oliver Sunglasses: A classic timeless design that is right for any situation. I consider this a refined upgrade to those Ray Ban Wayfarers EVERYONE had on last summer and the year before that. I got mine in a Tortoise Shell to stand out from the crowd so this isn't mistaken as a black acetate Wayfarer, which I'm sure there will be many of in the hipster/yuppie crowd.
YULI Cellular Lip Conditioner: A concentrated serum to protect lips with a plethora of actives including an Antioxidant Complex, UV shields, Supercritical extract blends in a glass roll on. This conditioner is made of completely food-grade ingredients so you don't have to worry about chemicals being ingested. Lips immediately feel the boost of conditioning agents and becomes silky within minutes as the serum sinks into skin. Leaving behind no bogged down or heavy greasy feeling that is common with lip balms. (Full Review)
YULI Liquid Courage: This essential antioxidant serum was one I raved about when I first tried this small, niche line as a green, natural alternative to Skinceuticals CE Ferulic Acid, read that review here. This is truly a revolutionary product! Research has shown that Ferulic Acid when combined with vitamin C+E, increases skins photoaging protection by up to 8-fold and has synergistic benefits including: neutralizing free radicals, building collagen, stimulating anti-aging benefits and regulating hyperpigmentation. The botanical seed complex contains the densest concentration of nutrients since the seed is the life force of the plant and CO2 extracts/Black Garlic bioferment to up the preventive antioxidant activity. Skin damage doesn't stand a chance. You really can't do your skin wrong when you nurture it with this serum.
YULI Panacea Elixir: If it seems I am crazy about YULI, it is because I am. As a brand, they are the epitome of a under the radar niche brand: quiet, modern, & cool but as a product line they offer some of the most unique innovative products without relying on harmful chemicals. Panacea Elixir is the most essential product on this list because I will use this probably every hour. It is the ultimate refresher that will break down sweaty, tired, grimy complexions and invigorate skin. It is so healing and balancing which keeps breakouts at bay and it just smells so amazing! If anything makes you believe in the power of pure botanicals, it is this intoxicating mist!
