ANTI SHINE POWDER

There are not many male make-up brands available online or in store. More and more men are using make-up to cover those dark circles, blend those blemishes away or even just to make those eyes pop with  an eyeliner.

MMUK MAN are a male make-up cosmetic brand, launching their first store in Brighton this summer. So, as you can guess when the opportunity came along to review their products and to blog for them I was beyond happy. MMUK MAN manufacture there own brand of cosmetic make-up scientifically formulated and designed for Male skin, they also stock other branded products too including Guyliner by TAXI.

It is necessary to always start with the basics hence why this review is on one of my favourite products from MMUK MAN and an essential – Anti-Shine powder.

According to dermatological experts Men have almost 20% thicker and oilier skin than women, hence the fact that men tend to have shiner or greasier T-Zone area.

If you want to knock out that shine effectively then this product certainly is a must have.

MMUK MAN Anti-Shine Powder was specifically developed to blot out the excess oils (sebum) with an undetectable, flawless look. This translucent extra fine powder is easily applied shortly after moisturising and lasts for up to 10 hours. Throughout reviewing and testing this product, the Anti- shine powder can also be applied as a setting powder after applying make-up. Instantly the powder absorbs any oils and helps smooth skin surface and minimises pores, leaving your skin with that Matte finish.

MMUK MAN Anti-Shine Powder prevents unwanted dull effects and creates a pleasant feeling on the skin. Anti-Shine Powder is colorless and is especially effective for the additional matting effects when wanting to look your best.

Anti-shine powder is an essential and ‘must have’ product.

Blots out excess oils

Leaves skin with a natural Matte finish

super easily applied

compact

for all skin types

Although some people may not have an oily skin type, this product helps prevent any breakouts of oil on your skin throughout your day.

For those that apply make-up and have an oily skin type, it is common that re-applying make-up throughout the day is required (more so the T-zone area). This product defiantly will reduce the amount of times you re-apply makeup.

I would highly recommend the anti-shine powder and believe it is one of the most important makeup item to have especially if you are not familiar with using makeup products and unsure what to get.

Shepherds Bush Boutique

Having won the luxury boutique Hotel of the Year in 2016, the Shepherds Bush Boutique Hotel boasts luxury standard of accommodation in the heart of West London. The location is perfect for those who like to shop or sightsee, with Westfield shopping centre just minutes away.

I was lucky to stay here whilst filming at The L’oreal Colour Trophy Awards at Battersea.

Upon arrival to SBH, we (myself and two colleagues) were warmly greeted by the reception staff who were exceptional at their job. They directed us to find secure parking for our vehicle which was less than £10 for 24 hours. (This in London, is rare.) May I add, Parking was 5 minutes walk away.

By the time we had returned our luggage had been taken to the Family room which was organised by the Marketing Director.

The family room was massive, a mini lounge with complimentary goodies, 2 separate bedrooms with a grand bathroom including walk in shower.. This certainly was luxury, more like a mini penthouse apartment.

#gallery-0-4 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-4 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-4 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-4 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Shepherd’s Bush is more used to budget hotels than this shiny, confident boutique hotel.  SBH is a short walk from three Tube stations and, crucially for the Chinese market, a five-minute walk.

The reception area of the hotel has a small but funky bar, accompanied with extra large couches to sit down and relax.

Bar

24 hour reception

Wi-Fi

The Hotel room prices range between £100-£200 depending on type of room you require.

For guests with disabilities, the hotel has access with ramps and all floors are accessible by large lifts.

Overall, the room was bigger and better than we expected with everything you require in the room. The location was perfect with accessible public transport near by and finally the staff were superb and couldn’t be anymore attentive and helpful.

So why not stay a stone’s throw away from Shepherd’s Bush Market in legendary London. Visit the hotspots, shop until you drop or hit the diverse cultural food places in town ! Make your stay in London an unforgettable one!

Visit their website for the latest room offers or to book.

GoPro Hero 5 VS OLFI One.Five

#onelifefilmit

Earlier this year I was fortunate and blessed to be sponsored by Olfi Camera. Olfi are the manufacturers of the ‘one.five’ 4K action camera based in Wales, UK.

Initially the directors of the company were intrigued to know how a Brighton based blogger would use this camera for his Vlogs, Interviews and photography – but soon after the camera had arrived they were to see the visual content I had captured, and continue to capture. Many of my images and filmed content taken on the Olfi One.Five has been used and shared by companies and brands including Visit Spain, Visit Brighton, Pirates Holiday, Segway, London Fashion Week 2017, Brighton Tattoo Convention 2017  and lots more. I have and continue to use the Olfi One.Five on many of my Vlogs, Instagram stories, photography and interviews whilst also using the GoPro hero 5 black.

www.youtube.com/lgoodtv

Both the Olfi One.Five and the Gopro Hero 5  are primarily used to capture different angles when I am filming, also the other can be used as a back-up if anything was to happen.

As I use both cameras for my blog and social media sites, I felt the need to write a review comparing the two devices.

GoPro

Key Features

Voice Control – Use simple voice commands to control your GoPro

2-Inch Touch Display – Preview and playback your shots, change settings and trim your footage, all on your GoPro

Rugged + Waterproof – Durable by design, HERO5 Black is waterproof to 10m without a housing

Simple One-Button Control – A single press of the shutter button powers the camera on and starts recording automatically

Advanced Video Stabilization – HERO5 Black can capture stunningly smooth video handheld, mounted to your favourite gear, and more

Access + share from anywhere – With a GoPro Plus subscription, HERO5 Black can automatically upload photos and videos directly to the cloud for easy viewing, editing and sharing on the go.

4K Video / 12mp Photo – Stunning 4K video and 12MP photos. In Single, Burst, and Time Lapse modes

Exposure Control – Fine-tune exposure settings with simple on-screen Exposure Control

OLFI One.Five

Key Features

Display – Rear full colour live preview LCD screen. Full user interface, playback, live view, settings and more.

Lens SONY -Back-Illuminated Sony Exmor-R CMOS Sensor.

Waterproof Up to 30 metres with included waterproof housing.

4K Video / 12mp Photo – Stunning 4K video and 16MP photos. In Single, Burst, and Time Lapse modes

Night Photo – Lets more light in to the sensor over a specific time period. Great for night sky, streaky lights and night time lapses.

Stabalisation – GYRO Image stabilisation – reduces shake and makes for clearer images.

Audio – Yes with sensitivity adjustment. Try using the waterproof housing to reduce wind noise or use the included frame housing to capture clear dialogue.

Underwater mode – Option to automatically compensates for loss of red light (colour) when diving or snorkelling.

Remote – Yes.

Waterproof – Up to 30 metres with included waterproof housing.

Exposure Control – Fine-tune exposure settings with Exposure Control.

Firstly, it is important I state that I love both of these cameras. I have familiarised myself with each of their features and I can easily access these features.

In my opinion, I believe that the market leading action camera GoPro Hero 5, offers the added extra voice control and touch screen compared to the OLFI One.Five. Although,I feel I do not use these features on the GoPro as both cameras have 2 manual buttons which is much easier to use, especially when you have minimal time to set up and start filming or shooting a photo. Personally, I do feel when using the GoPro hero 5 voice control option, you can be repeating ‘GoPro Take Photo’ a number of times. –which sometimes can be embarrassing.

Overall the Olfi One.Five gives equivalent video quality and photo quality to the GoPro Hero 5-. An added plus to the Olfi One.Five is that the camera is compatible with all the GoPro accessories. For example, the harness, head band, selfie sticks etc.

Another added bonus to the Olfi One.Five which makes their product unique to other brands on the market is that not only do they offer a remote selfie stick similar to a gimbal, BUT they also retail the remote and strap which is like a remote control watch to help capture great content with ease and convenience to yourself. (plus it looks really slick.)

If I had to recommend one of these cameras to someone, I would say either of the two cameras would be perfect, depending on how much you are willing to spend. This is where you make your decision on choosing the right 4k action camera for yourself.

Now here is where your decision on choosing the right action camera is highly influenced.

The Price for the:

GoPro Hero 5      £320 – £349

OLFI One.Five      £149

The price seriously makes a big difference when choosing the right camera. Although there is a significant price difference, overall there is less of a difference between the two cameras. The price certainly does not affect the quality of the Olfi One.Five nor the design of the camera compared to the GoPro Hero 5.

The Olfi One.Five has quickly revolutionised its way of being a versatile 4k camera, unlike other action cameras which markets their product specifically for sports activities and sports enthusiasts, this particular camera has successfully proven that it can be effective for bloggers, photographers and videographers too.

An entirely unique experience at ICEBAR LONDON

The clever team at ICEBAR LONDON crafting the entire interior of ice to reflect a different theme (currently ‘Wild in the City’).

Admire the ice sculpture from expert ice artists, followed by a cool cocktail inside the world famous ICEBAR. Everything in this -5°C central London venue is made of, you guessed it, ice.

Carefully carved out of the purest ice and maintained at a crisp -5°C, Ice Bar is the UK’s only cocktail bar permanently frozen solid. There’s no half measures here; all walls, bars, tables and even your own personal glasses are skilfully sculptured using ice from the glistening waterways of the Torne River in Jukkasjarvi, Sweden.
