Women's Beauty Products Men Love!! 
Brandon Nicholson, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of California, Berkeley, tries hard to keep his dark secret from his girlfriend. "It's getting to be a problem, and I'm afraid she is catching on," he says. "Every time I take a shower, I have to use her body wash that smells like chocolate. It's like I'm addicted or something." A 6-foot-9-inch, bald-headed wall of muscle isn't the first person you would picture lathering up with a soap that smells like hot cocoa, or hiding the fact that he enjoys it from his girlfriend, who happens to work at Bath and Body Works. But Nicholson isn't alone. Seven out of 10 men use some product meant for the opposite sex as part of their grooming ritual, according to men's Web site groominglounge.com. In Pictures: Women's Beauty Products Men Love "That's one of the most frequently discussed topics on the question and answer forums on the site," says Pirooz Sarshar, co-founder of the company. "Contrary to what most people think, men use women's beauty products, and they like it." Winning Wrappings Some men may argue it has nothing to do with the product itself but rather its immediate accessibility. Others, like Andy Cohen, strategic marketing adviser to companies like Procter & Gamble and L'Oreal, says it has to do with presentation. "Guys aren't any different from women, in the sense that they are attracted to interesting packaging," says Cohen. "If something looks useful or it promises results, they will feel inclined to experiment with it." That's the case with NARS Balancing Moisture Lotion. The light moisturizer comes in a white rectangular box with thin dark lettering on the side and looks cool in a minimalist kind of way. Likewise, Burt's Bees Lip Balm, a staple in some women's handbags and medicine cabinets, comes in a guy-appealing yellow tube with the image on it of a man in a bee hat. The packaging makes it OK for guys to use in public and for them to purchase it on their own. A manager of the Whole Foods cosmetics department in Union Square in New York City says that the Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm is one of the top sellers and that the majority of those purchasing it are men. In Pictures: Women's Beauty Products Men Love Smell Test After packaging, scent is the biggest draw for men who use women's beauty products, says Simone Dilinger, senior editor of Palacinka.com, a site dedicated to reviewing beauty products. The most commonly used scented products are the Aveda Rosemary Mint Shampoo, which has a minty, woodsy smell, and Jo Malone Lime Basil and Mandarin cologne. The manager of the Jo Malone flagship store in New York City says more than 70 percent of sales of the cologne are to women -- but they are women who say they share it with their men. 16677529 Then there is Secret deodorant. The product, marketed to women, is widely bought and used by men, says Sarchar. It boasts a slightly floral scent similar to many soaps. Seventy percent of men in the Unirted States use antiperspirant/deodorant, according to Procter & Gamble, which makes Secret. Of that number, it says that 5 percent, or more than five million, use deodorant for women. Add Biore pore strips and Frederic Fekkai hair gel to the list as well. Fekkai says he sells much of his signature styling gel, aimed at women, to men. From his Fifth Avenue salon alone, he sells about 100 tubes a month to men. Speak Out With so many men using women's beauty products on the down low, why don't more men fess up? "I would be permanently discrediting myself as a dude in front of my girlfriend as well as my friends," says Nicholson. "There is no way I would do that. But I guess if I took baby steps and just let her know I actually like the stuff in small hints, that would be OK." One small step for man, indeed

Me, too. I use their facial wash, and I've used their shampoo & conditioner. And I love Hydra's stuff, too. I use their Monster Syrum on my face. It's about the only moisturizer that doesn't make my face break out. My Legacy

No you didn't Unless you can take them off a shelf and apply them to yourself complete with sticky tape, I think not. | |
