D BANJ RANKS BEST DRESSED in - Christian Louboutin Mika Raja Spring/Summer 2011 Flats

D  Banj stepped out in style at the recently held 2011 BET Awards styled in a pair of Christian Louboutin Mika Raja flats ($2,395) from the Spring/Summer 2011 Collection.
Such attention to detail! His pants look like they were crafted out of some Italian nonna's tablecloth. And those aren't ruffles on his shirt—they're tasseled beads.

 He was ranked best dressed by Jezebel

Five Products You Should Borrow From Your Boyfriend or Brother

We’ve borrowed everything from blazers and jeans to oversized tees from the boys. Now we’re raiding their bathroom cabinets for beauty, ahem, we mean “grooming” products! Here are 5 must-try male products we swear by: 



After Shave. Whether it’s on their beard or bikini line, both men and women battle razor bumps. You are guaranteed to see results with an alcohol free razor treatment that makes a visible difference in just 2 days.
Electric Shaver. Maybe you’d be more inclined to buy your own than borrow his. But your guy is definitely onto something here. An electric shaver reduces razor bumps and is great for “landscaping” in between waxes. Some electric shavers like  give you such a close cut, there’s no need for waxing or depilatories. 

Hand Lotion. Engineered with men who work with their hands in mind, is perfect for restoring dry, rough skin.  The rich, non-greasy formula will leave your hands silky smooth and mend damaged cuticles. 

Razor. If you’re yearning a sleek shave for your legs, borrow his razor. Try Gillette M3 Power, a razor that combines 3 blade shaving technology with patented-coated blades and the power micropulses. Boys get all the cool stuff! 

Deodorant. While there are ton of antiperspirants for women that claim to have the same strength of men’s deodorants, we’re completely sold on Gillette’s 3x Invisible Solid in Power Rush. The musky scent masks odor in a way women’s powdery scents don’t. Plus men’s deodorant tends to be cheaper!

Mercedes-Benz soon to lauch first perfume!

INCC Group and Mercedes-Benz have announced that INCC Group have now  obtained the license agreement to develop, manufacture and distribute the first fragrance line for the Mercedes-Benz brand worldwide.

Commenting on the license agreement, Rémy Deslandes, President and Chief Executive Officer of INCC Group, said, “Nothing great has ever been accomplished without passion, 125 years after the creation of the first automobile, Mercedes-Benz will enter the fragrance world. I am thrilled and excited by this given responsibility and it is with passion that I will meet our business partners at the TFWA in Cannes this September to witness together the birth of a perfume star.”
