We got some of the things you can look forward to getting for this summer from our Beauty Director and Mens Life Style Consultant. Here are their Favourite products - 
Darren Blackett, Mens Lifestyle Consultant is constantly looking for the next best thing for guys. To him it is important for a guy to look good and smell good but over all the best thing I guy can wear is Confidence!
5. Unscripted Cologne Set
Smooth, subtle fragrance that is perfect for intimate gatherings as it creates a cool laid back ambiance that puts persons at ease.
4. Musk Marine
Definitely a very fresh fragrance. Perfect for our environment. A natural blend of cool mint, fresh mandarin and ginger.
3. Blue Rush Intense
Very fresh but warm it is a very bold musk. A mysterious blend of scents to invigorate the senses and emotions of those around you.
2. True Force
Strong spicy notes that inspire chic and class. A nice evening fragrance to let everyone know here I am without overpowering them.
1. Herve Leger Homme
My favourite is a decadent, fashionable cologne. A Classy, subtle fragrance that's perfect for a business man. Great for all times of the day.
Dee Blackett, Beauty Director spots and documents the numerous trends in the world of beauty and is never afraid to give it all her touch. She believes that Beauty is all about Confidence and Self expression.
5. Skin So Soft Mineral Gems Glamorous Gold
Lotion Nourishing and of medium consistency, one of my must haves because this lotion leaves a light gold shimmer on my skin which adds that perfect summer glow.
4. Mark. Mist Opportunity Multi-Tasking Refresher Spray
A saviour in hot weather, simply give your face a light spritz for a pick me up. Does not affect your makeup and contains fruit extracts that are great for your skin.
3. 24 KT Mascara
This formula for the win! I have a hard time finding mascara that is a true gem and this is one of them. My lashes are short and thin. This mascara gives me both volume and length. Light golden flecks in the formula give me a pretty finish to my eyes.
2. Naturals Body Spray in Cherry Blossom
In hot humid weather I find myself obsessed with mists and sprays, whether for my face or body. These light but fragrant splashes are perfect, because you do not have to worry about your fragrance being overpowering ; yet you may indulge in this refreshing spray.
1. My number one must have is the 8 in 1 palette in Neutral Tones.
Summertime is about minimalism and this palette is perfect. Whether worn on its own or used in conjunction with a beautiful pink or teal; the options are countless. Neutral Tones look great on everyone and for a summer getaway it is the only palette I need!
Guys come and visit us tomorrow to make sure you have everything you need to be fresh this summer. Ladies, we have everything you need to stay pretty and cool under the sun.

3 Summer Makeup Trends!
Although it is perpetually summertime here in Barbados; the excitement for the summer months is undeniable. We tend to wear flip flop, sandals and wedges more often, our wardrobe's come to life with more colour and obviously our makeup is more vibrant! Here are three summer makeup trends, I will also tell you my absolute fave of them all!
1) The neutral eye with coloured eyeliner. I love this. Quick and easy, yet a pop of colour. I turn to this when time is not my friend!
2) The neutral eye with the bright beautiful lip! People are having so much fun with this look for summer. I am seeing hot pinks, oranges and reds. From lipsticks to glosses to tints; the lips are definitely the star of the show.
3) Last but certainly not least.......my favorite trend! The bold, colorful eye makeup paired with a nude lip! My love for this trend is unending. Not only are ones eyes alluring but experimenting with various rainbow colours and textures never bores me. Tone it down with a nude lip and voila....you are perfectly pretty!
I will leave you Trendsetters with one of my versions of this trend.
Do have fun with your makeup this summer people!
Love
Dee

I thought Dee was rocking an amazing look today. The vibrant pink eyeshadow is perfect on her complexion and works well as a day time look.
It's fresh and optimistic - You can always count on Sugarpill Makeup to save the day.
So always remember to brighten up your Fridays!
Cheers to the weekend,

Fierce & Fun!
The Essential Trends Beauty Director Dee Blackett is known for creativity and versatility when it comes to her different looks every day (After all she is a makeup artist).
On Tuesday of this week however her look reminded me of something that our Barbadian Born Superstar Rihanna rocked at this year’s annual Met Gala on May 6, 2011.
A clean look with smoky eye and deep berry colored lip and let’s not forget the long side-swept braid. It’s a beautiful and highly adaptable look that is perfect with Jeans and a T-shirt or with the most elegant gown.
This look is bold but not overdone; there is an inescapable element of simplicity. The Smoky eye with the long braid gives it such an authentic Caribbean vibe.
So how about you turn some heads with this summer look we like to call "Fierce and Fun".
So be daring, be bold and make it all look eternally effortless.

Dress Great, Smell Even Better!
Every man should have a signature scent – Something not too overbearing (That says ‘look at me, look at me’) and not too subtle (That says ‘I don’t think enough of myself’).
I’m currently wearing a fragrance called Driven Aromatic Spices by Avon for men. This cologne is endorsed by American Baseball player Derek Jeter.
I love how understated it is yet it is a scent that is absolutely distinguishable and long lasting. It is a vibrant blend of fresh spices, exotic woods and citrus that creates a fragrance that is both fresh and masculine.
This fragrance is so versatile that it is a perfect daytime and night time scent. The message it sends about the guy wearing it is that he is both ‘confident and cool.’
So guys get to looking good and smelling even better!
It will do a lot for your personal image.
