We are proud to announce the launch of NK Artists – a brand new division of NKPR that connects talent and artists we are passionate about with strategic programs and endorsements that drive their personal brands forward.
Opening this division was a natural progression for our agency as there is so much talent who need help building their brands. We consistently develop strategic partnerships for clients that raise their profiles in meaningful ways. NK Artists is the perfect opportunity for us to deliver the same results for artists, creating programs that allow them to grow and drive their brand forward.
Often it’s the small changes in lifestyle that have the greatest success when it comes to making New Year’s Resolutions. With this in mind, we’re sharing 5 small yet effective changes you can make to your daily beauty and lifestyle routine for 2014!
1. Drink more water. Not only does this do wonders for your skin, immune system and workout performance, it also helps curb the ‘hunger’ that comes from dehydration. We love Aquahydrate as it offers the electrolyte benefits of a sports drink without the sugar and calories, and boasts a pH level of 9+ to restore the body after a tough workout.
2. Add a touch of glamour to your daily makeup routine with a bold red lip – it’s a simple change that has an amazing impact on your look. Pair it with an all black office-chic ensemble or rock it with a pair of boyfriend jeans and chunky sweater on weekends. One you go red, you’ll never go back! Avon’s ‘Poppy Love’ is an office favourite.
3. Swap coffee for tea. Don’t get us wrong, we love our skinny lattes, however tea has added antioxidant (and zero calorie) benefits that put it on the top of our list of hot bevvys to drink (especially in the winter months!) With so many flavours available, there’s something for everyone. Our pick? DAVIDsTEA detox green tea!
4. Whether its trying out a new restaurant or taking a different route to work…embrace change!
5. Use sunscreen! The latest lotions are formulated for everyday wear and will take years (yes, years!) off your skin’s aging process. It’s never too late to start protecting your skin – just think, in 10 years you’ll be sending thanks to your past, savvy self! Kiehl’s Super Fluid UV Defense SPF 50 is our daily go-to for 2014.

Movember – that special time of the year when men trade in their clean shave and proudly sport their moustaches for a cause! We love how creative the Movember initiative is (we’re all for building buzz for the cause!), but one thing is for certain: if you’re going to rock the ‘stache, staying groomed and trimmed is a must! We’re sharing our top picks for achieving the perfect Movember look featuring our favourite products and tools. Gentlemen, take note!
Pre Shave:
Kiehl’s Facial Fuel Sky Flyin’ Foaming Multi-Gel
A pre-shave must! Formulated with Ginseng and Bamboo Extract, this foam-gel functions as both an effective shaving preparation and cleanser. The rich, dense lather helps to minimizing the look of redness and irritation due to shaving, and its cleansing properties remove oil and impurities without over-drying.
Kiehl’s Facial Fuel Energizing Face Wash
This energizing facial cleanser thoroughly removes dirt, surface oil, and impurities without an over-drying effect. Formulated with Caffeine, Menthol, and Vitamin E – as well as invigorating extracts derived from Lemon and Orange Peels – its unique blend helps to refresh and waken skin, preparing it for a less irritating, more comfortable shave. This effective “refueling facial cleanser” further helps skin resist the effects of environmental stress and gives dull, tired-looking skin a fresher, healthier appearance.
Shaving
Tweezerman Deluxe Shaving Brush
A shaving brush is a must for achieving the perfect shave. Made of 100% badger hair, the densely filled brush head is ideal for holding and distributing lather. The bristles help soften and raise hair while gently exfoliating the skin in preparation for a close, comfortable shave.
Post Shave:
Kiehl’s Ultimate Mens After Shave Balm and Moisturizer
How you care for your shave is one of the biggest factors in achieving a smooth, groomed finish. Formulated especially for the shaven area of a man’s face, this rich cream contains Allantoin, Avocado Oil, Cocoa Butter and Vitamin E to soothe and moisturize the skin after the impact of shaving or anytime.
Kiehl’s Ultimate Man Razor Bump Relief
Don’t let the burn get you down! A potent, yet soothing treatment formulated to prevent and reduce the appearance of unsightly razor bumps, ingrown hairs, and razor burn.
Tweezerman Mens Essential Grooming Kit
A must-have for every man’s toiletry bag: Nail Clippers, a Pocket Nail File, Facial Hair Scissors (with rounded tips for safety and comfort) — and a pocket-portable Stainless Steel Point Tweezerette.
