Black Friday is an informal name for the Friday following Thanksgiving Day in the United States, which is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. The day after Thanksgiving has been regarded as the beginning of America’s Christmas shopping season since 1952, although the term “Black Friday” did not become widely used until more recent decades
This must be the best and most luxurious bundle of this year! And even Black Friday won’t be that! The Apothecary Collection is worth over £239, yet it only costs £55 RRP and is only available at Mankind.
(Please note that Mankind is actually offering 15% off this collection*, just use Code: GROOM15).

It’s not very often that we test luggage -as we tend to find them a bit boring- however with this one we were excited to do so. So, why did we want to try out this luggage?
Because it has it all! (Explanation below with one picture).
The Spin MATE Plus, at 40L capacity and featured here, is compliant with easyJet’s and British Airways’ hand baggage restrictions. So this makes it a very attractive piece to own.I was really happy to brag with this new piece of luggage as it is really smooth to operate: it just slides effortlessly on floors.
3 things we really liked:
1/ The design: simple, yet elegant. Refined, yet robust.
2/ The “2-in-1”: a single bag that can become two. Its 2-in-1 design makes it the perfect bag for easyJet’s single bag policy. Travel from home-to-gate with the single bag and when on board, zip off the laptop backpack, keeping your tech and valuables close by throughout your journey.
3/ The practicality: it has it all. Several external pockets and well thought inside.
The cabin bag designed to make your journey as hassle-free as possible. The 4-wheel, 360° spinner rotates in the palm of your hand, with no struggle to change direction.
Long story short, this luggage has been going through airports, train and tube stations not to mention on several types of pavements. And it never let me down.
Gate-8 range’s defining features include:
. Zip-off laptop bag – keep your valuables & tech to hand through the flight, travel light to your next meeting, bring onboard easyJet .

On arrival leave the main bag in your hotel room and travel light with the zip-off backpack if you wish to.
What else?

For most of us who take care of our skin, having the right cleanser plays a vital role in the first step to helping look after our skin. We need a reliable product that will dissolve impurities and daily dirt without putting a burden on the surface.
You can cleanse, refine and comfort skin with Nakin’s natural anti-ageing face cleansers with active ingredients that detoxify and condition. They have two very special products within the range that offer a superior face cleanser routine for clear, comforted and treated skin.
Nakin Natural Anti-Ageing Advanced Cleansing Milk
Formulated with an advanced active blend of oils, hyaluronic acid, pomegranate and seaweed extract, it helps to even skin tone and assist cell renewal.
In Nakin’s own words: “With hyaluronic acid, pomegranate and seaweed extract in the formula, you can expect the cleansing milk also to help assist cell renewal as it penetrates the dermis to promote elasticity”.
Facial toners are like a deep clean for your skin. They help to clear pores deep down, as well as condition skin with active toning, astringent and tightening ingredients. There’s no better way to freshen skin. With aloe and seaweed extracts it will have a gentler effect on priming the skin than a traditional toner.
Every product provided at Nakin is guaranteed to have ingredients that are naturally sourced and cruelty-free.
They don’t use anything unnecessary or artificial to alter the appearance or fragrance of our tones and cleansers, instead preferring to use natural elements like aloe vera and seaweed over paraben and silicone.
And don’t forget that Nakin skincare range is wheat and gluten-free.
At StylePilot we are always keen to try new products and support new initiatives. Especially when we are talking about natural products. And the demand for a natural approach is fast growing!
So, let us introduce the Green People brand to you.
In their own words: ” Green people is a range of high performance products for men packed with clinically proven natural actives. Suitable for even the most sensitive skin types, the range is certified organic and packed with the most effective natural ingredients available, from Green Seaweed and Chamomile to Tara Bush and Aloe Vera. You won’t find any skin irritating chemicals, drying alcohol, harsh foaming agents, synthetic fragrances or animal derived ingredients. All products are natural, organic, cruelty free and vegan friendly”.
Let’s have a closer look at the new grooming range from Green People for Men! Here is below what we’ve tried:
No. 1 Exfoliating Face Scrub
£13.50 RRP (100ml)
Complex, time-consuming skincare routines are a thing of the past with the Green People for Men range. Keep breakouts at bay with the No. 1 Exfoliating Face Scrub (125ml), a powerful blend of key plant actives that eliminate toxins and refine skin tone. Dead cells are buffed away by Bamboo Stem while toxins are trapped and drawn out by Bentonite Clay. The result is clearer skin without the use of harsh chemicals and no irritating artificial fragrances.
No.2 Soothing Shaving Gel
£13.50 RRP (100ml)
Smooth and soothe the skin for a perfect shave with No.2 Soothing Shaving Gel (125ml) a non irritating face wash which creates a high density natural lather with a creamy feel that lasts longer on the skin, allowing for a closer, more precise shave. Seaweed creates the perfect ‘skin slip’ feel, allowing the razor to glide over the skin with no nicks, cuts, razor burn or dragging, for a smoother daily shave.
No. 3 Cooling Moisturiser
Post-shave, apply the No. 3 Cooling Moisturiser (100ml) and feel the non-greasy formula soothe and calm the skin. Blending Shea Butter and Almond Oil, this light moisturiser replaces natural oils while anti-inflammatory Peppermint Oil and plant actives balance the flora of the skin.
£14.50 RRP (100ml)
Where can I buy those? The Green People range is available from Ocado, Whole Foods, Planet Organic, Revital and independent natural health retailers nationwide, as well as online at www.greenpeople.co.uk.
It is just love at first sight: a refreshing packaging that makes you want to try those products. And isn’t it great to bring a bit of colours to your your bathroom shelves?
In their own words: “Raw Supremo is a neat range of grooming products created by a team who understand the lack of variety in men’s grooming products, they are bored of seeing the same old stuff in plain packaging smelling of something their Grandad’s used to splash on their skin”.
Current men’s grooming brands are typically sandalwood & vanilla scented with a limited variety. Raw Supremo has the fragrance of Coconut & Lime to break the stereotype of men’s grooming products.
StylePilot has selected a couple of products for you:
