Fancy being on TV?

What a great week we've had. Apart from having a lovely weekend off over Easter and eating lots of chocolate (which we'll no doubt pay for soon with spotty skin and lethargy...) we've been speaking to the lovely Steve Miller, Business & Confidence Coach, GMTV regular, newspaper columnist and all round good guy. Steve has a new book coming out on June 11th called Change Your Life – Grab that Job, and is looking for men who have worn make up for interviews and believe it helped them get the job or a promotion. He is looking for men interested in being featured with him on TV. Email us at info@astonmitchell.com if you're up for being on TV and we'll put you in touch!


We've also been speaking to the great guys at MYEGO who do a very smart looking line in men's eye pencils and concealers. The packaging is fab and the products are top quality. Check them out on our astonmitchell website now, we think you'll love them.

6 degrees of separation

Just been speaking to Michele Probst, founder and CEO of Menaji and one of our fabulous suppliers. We love her product range -it's top quality and does exactly what it's supposed to. It looks natural and contains no nasties. Michele is a lovely lady, very savvy, and very modest. She's one of the US President's make-up artists but she doesn't shout about it. So if she knows President Obama and I know Michele, that means that I'm 2 degrees of separation away from him, or something like that. It's a small world.

I'm working on our April newsletter at the moment, focusing on anti-shine powder. Watch out for it - you can sign up via our website at www.astonmitchell.com and we have offers, reviews, competitions and more. We'd love to get more feedback please!

The astonmitchell Blog has arrived

Wow, what an amazing couple of years it's been. We've just been taking a look back at the whirlwind which has been astonmitchell since we set it up. We've had a few headaches, loads of laughs, some really heartwarming moments and generally just loved what we do.

We set up www.astonmitchell.com because we thought that there might be a gap in the market for men's make-up, judging by how many guys have to borrow concealer to hide spots or eye bags. We spent ages researching suppliers and came up with our shortlist of great products. Then we set up the website and started selling - and boy, is it selling!

Guys obviously just want to get their own products, which are designed for them. We know for a fact that there are some guys out there whose confidence has been boosted with our help and that has got to be good.

Workload permitting, we'll be telling you our woes, the highs and lows, and hopefully giving you a small insight into life at astonmitchell.
