Label.M

Hey guys, sorry that I haven't blogged in quiet a while, I've been super busy trying to get products to review and busy with coursework. However during that time I've been able to test some grooming products that have been sent to me! Label.M was used in London Fashion week and is how I first stumbled across the products.

This was the first of three products that I was sent. I found product easy to apply and didn't leave my hands a mess and sticky. What I liked most about this product is how it smelt, it smells of sort of coconuts, it is so refreshing and you can smell it throughout the day and it isn't over powering. Back to the product itself, I found that when I put it in my hair and I wanted it to sit up it wouldn't. My hair usually just has a fall out with me in the morning and falls flat. I like my hair to be quiet choppy but quite a messy look, this product achieved the look I wanted relatively well. It gave my hair a slight shine/wet look, but not greasy which is extremely important!  However when I get home from school there looks like there is no product in my hair at all, so it doesn't last as long as I would like it to.

This is the the second of three products label.m sent me. This was my favourite of the two products and gave me quite a good hold with a matt finish, but did leave my hair looking slightly dry so I used the hair glue and worked the two products together. I found that they complimented each other and gave quite a good hold and finish.

Overall I do like both of the products and I hope to feature more of them in my blog in the future. I would give them both collectively a score of 6.8/10!

Song Of The Week

I have decided that once a week on a Wednesday I am going to choose my song of the week for all my followers. This week my song of the week is Alexandra Burke - Elephant! (No it is not a tribute to our much loved character Dumbo, sorry to disappoint)

I love this song so much, the beat is incredible, it will without a doubt blow up. Alexandra won the X-Factor a few years back, and since then has had several number one hits and Top 10 singles. We have all been anticipating her return with her second studio album. Elephant is the first single off her new album. Alexandra has gone for a more club, heavy bass line style compared to her usual pop style songs. Her new sound is very electro-pop and is following in the steps of Ke$ha's - Animal album. This song is going to become MASSIVE, so watch out for Alexandra taking over 2012!

Lana Del Ray

Lana Del Ray is making huge ripples in the music industry, everyone is talking about her unique sound and style. Ever since Adele's major movement, the mainstream charts have been more appreciative of alternative styles of music and not just mainstream pop. Lana Del Ray has been praised by critics for her distinctly unique voice that sets her aside from the rest of the music industry. Her first single of her eagerly anticipated album "Born To Die" "Video Games" was an unlikely Top 10 Hit in the UK peaking at Number 9. Below is her live performance on Johnathon Ross's show.

Her latest single "Born To Die" is a song full of raw, honest emotion. The video is very classy and tasteful, however Lana's vocals pull on your heart strings and you believe every word she says and become emerged in this situation that she is describing. The lyrics are extremely powerful and deep, unlike some artists like Dev who talk about, "Dolla Bills in mah tummy," these mainstream artists talk about rubbish and it instantly becomes a hit. Lana is a raw talent who is going to blow up in 2012, she will be all over your TV, Radio, she is going to dominate the world! With those lips she could dominate ANYTHING!

A matter of hours ago Lana released her official track listing, so here is the names of the tracks that she is including in her album!

Born To Die
Off To The Races
Blue Jeans
Video Games
Diet Mountain Dew
National Anthem
Dark Paradise
Radio
Carmen
Million Dollar Man
Summertime Sadness
This Is What Makes Us Girls

Emerge

As the admin of this blog named Emerge I aim to bring you the latest fashion's for men on a budget and not breaking the bank. As men most of us don't have the time or simply can't be bothered, anything we find in our wardrobe will do.

However when we come to go out on a night out, we want to look our best and emit the best possible first impression to onlookers. This blog will show you styles and how to match up clothes, and what works and doesn't work, without a great deal of fuss.

I will also be blogging about music and grooming on the odd occasion.

So I hope you can join me on my blogging journey.
