I was lurking pervishly over at Glamourous beauty routines S/D and I realized that I have started to use a lot of my girlfriend's beauty products, like

and

and I'm not about to stop. Should I be worried? Or is it just that the 'beauty' industry has put so much more work into the woman's market that some of their products are better? Do any of you ladies insist on using products which are ostensibly male products?

I'm not trying to be 'metrosexual'. I'm just pointing out that while some soulless feckin' corporation markets shit to ladies I can still use it, and if it's better I will. The drool that drips from the mouths of ad people when they hear 'metrosexual' repulses me too but I think a considerable portion of the backlash stems from insecurity and homophobia.

I was really hoping this thread was about transgender beauty product use.

if you're not going all the way, I don't wanna hear about it.

I use some shower gel to shave with that's got aloe vera and stuff in it that I think is maketed at girls.

Also when I use bath stuff I usually use lavender or whatnot rather than the brake fluid style stuff that men are _supposed_ to use.

the products are exactly the same, but mens products are usually more expensive for less product......i.e. clinique dramatically different moisturising lotion (female) is exactly the same as their mens turnaround lotion, but is a lot more expensive and only comes in one size.

so there.
