Valentine's Day Gifts For Him - Plus Anthony Logistics For Men Giveaway!

Since you’re reading this, I’m going to assume that you’re a fellow beauty addict. Do you wish your man would graduate from the deodorant soap and take a little better care of his skin? Well, instead of having a heart to heart with your personal care-challenged better half, give him a nudge in the right direction this Valentine’s Day.

A few months back, Anthony Logistics For Men sent me some products for my husband to try. Graham is a mountain man that abhors anything that can’t be purchased at the drugstore, so I had to introduce the products in a very non-pushy way. I unwrapped the products and placed them in strategic spots in the bathroom; I put the Strength Shower Gel in the shower caddy, the Strength Body Spray and Glycerin Hand & Body Lotion in the bathroom cabinet, and the One Step Cleansing Bar by the sink (you’ve gotta make it easy for them, trust me).

Well, guess what? Graham loved them. He gave the products a ringing endorsement – especially the lotion, which is surprising because he hardly ever moisturizes. He said, “The lotion smelled like oranges, which I liked. And despite being a glycerin based lotion, it wasn’t too greasy...it passes the doorknob test.”

You see? He probably won’t purchase these grooming products for himself. But if you buy them for him, he’ll love you for it…and his skin will too. And as a bonus, many of the brands offerings are female-friendly too. So you can share – and isn’t that what relationships are all about?

Wanna introduce your man to some guy grooming products? Anthony Logistics For Men has generously agreed to sponsor a Spoiled Pretty giveaway. One winner will receive the Essentials Starter Kit.

The set includes:

*Glycolic Facial Cleanser
*Shave Cream
*All purpose Facial Moisturizer
*Lip Balm
*Body Cleansing Gel
*Glycerin Hand and Body Lotion
*Storage Container


This prize is a $67 value!

To enter the giveaway, send an email to spoiledprettycontests@gmail.com and include your full name. The subject line should read "Anthony Logistics For Men Contest. "

The contest ends at 9 pm EST on Sunday, February 17th. A winner will be chosen at random from among the entrants. On Monday, February 18th, I’ll announce the winner’s name. Please, only one comment per person; duplicate comments will not increase your chances of winning. Contest is open to U.S. & Canadian residents. Good luck!

Grooming Guru To Visit DC

Tony Sosnick, the grooming guru behind Anthony Logistics for Men, is coming to Washington, DC on Friday, November 16th to share his shaving expertise and give skin consultations at the Blue Mercury store in Dupont Circle. Although marketed to men, these products are just as effective on those of us with two X chromosomes.

There will be a cocktail party from 3-7pm where you can meet Tony and learn all about:

Grooming Gifts for the Holidays - With holiday season approaching, subtle ways the ladies can be a positive influence without offending.

How to Winter-ize Your Skin Routine - Tips on switching over everything from your moisturizer and general routine from the hot humidity of summer to the cold and dry days of winter.

5 Steps to the Perfect Shave - From the temperature of the water to the direction of your blade, what every guy needs to know.

Shaving Tips for Girls, from a Grooming Guru – Just because shorts and miniskirts have gone into hibernation doesn’t mean your razor should follow suit; Tony will share his expertise on the steps to get a super smooth shave.

The Dupont Circle Blue Mercury store is located at 1619 Connecticut Avenue NW. For more information about this event, call 202.462.1300.

Made For A Man, But Strong Enough For A Woman

Never one to pass up a sample, I said “Why not?” when a generous C.O. Bigelow salesman recently offered me Glycolic Facial Cleanser from Anthony Logistics For Men. I figured I would just give it to my husband to try. But after reading that it makes your face “squeak with cleanliness”, I decided that his Nivea Energizing Face Scrub works just fine, and that I should use the sample myself. This might sound selfish (don’t judge me), but you don’t know my husband. He balks at anything he can’t get at the drugstore – plus, he would never pay $18 for face wash.

After using the cleanser, my face was not just squeaky clean - it was also smooth and soft. And it left me wondering, “Why don’t they market this stuff to women?” So I’m doing Anthony a favor and letting you all in on the secret.

The Glycolic Facial Cleanser has aloe vera to soothe skin, glycolic acid to ease away fine lines, and Vitamins A, C, and E to nourish. But, unlike many products made specifically for men, this cleanser has a citrusy, unisex fragrance. Anthony Logistics is available at Bath & Body Works, Blue Mercury, C.O. Bigelow, Douglas Cosmetics, Nordstrom, and Sephora stores.
