The Great Face Debate: The Best Razor for Shaving

September 1, 2014 / Bullz-Eye Staff

It’s the first thing people notice, that wonderful personality of yours. No, it’s that close shave or lack thereof. Whether you desire razor-thin cuts or prefer a bit of stubble, you’re part of an ever-going debate regarding whether to use an electric razor, blade, or a mixture of both to achieve desired results.

Blades

The Dollar Shave Club made a splash with their crafty marketing, introducing regular intervals of disposable blade shipping, so guys don’t have to fret about losing their edge when it comes to a close shave. A ‘wet’ shave combines a blade with some sort of aid, whether gel or cream, to get extra close. Some men swear by gels and creams, which usually take off the outer layer of skin for an exfoliating effect.

Quantity versus Quality: Solving the Protein Puzzle

August 30, 2014 / Bullz-Eye Staff

Protein, essential for life and good health, is somewhat of a puzzle to those who want to understand how to stay healthy and maintain a good weight. We know protein is essential, but many don’t know too much information beyond that.
Is there a limit to how much we should ingest? Should we depend on alternative sources like vitamins and powders for added protein? Is it unhealthy to opt for a vegetarian or vegan diet?

How Much Protein Should We Eat?

American doctors suggest a minimum of 8 grams of protein per 20 pounds of body weight. The Institute of Medicine suggests that protein account for 10% to 35% of caloric intake. Aside from medicinal recommendations, there’s little evidence of a ‘magic number.’ In America, recommended daily intake is 46 grams for adult women and 56 grams for men. But, why do we need protein at all?

Car Review: 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport SE

August 27, 2014 / Bullz-Eye Staff

The Mitsubishi Outlander has been in the market for a few years now, and the one thing that you can count on is this vehicle getting better with every model year. We tested the redesigned 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport SE and really didn’t know what to expect at first, but after a week behind the wheel, we found a solid vehicle at a reasonable price.

EXTERIOR

The new 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport SE has sharp looks with an edgy design. Our rally red test model looked uncluttered and sleek for a SUV that is generally better known for utility advances. The 18-inch alloy wheels, super-wide HID headlights, chrome front grille surround, chrome belt line molding, fog lights, rear LED tail lights, rear spoiler and exhaust finisher spiced up the overall appearance. The look of the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport SE is practical and smart.

INTERIOR

Don’t look for luxury to be in the vocabulary when you’re driving a $25,820 as tested SUV, but roominess will fall right into place. Standard features such as climate control, air conditioning, leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, high contrast meters and full color multi-information display were well thought out and placed. We also thought the 710w Rockford Fosgate Premium sound system with nine speakers was high quality and powerful. Cabin and utility space are solid without needless gadgets that can get in your way.

Step up your game with UGG boots for him and her!

August 26, 2014 / Bullz-Eye Staff

UGG continues to expand their dynamic offerings for both men and women, and Bullz-Eye was fortunate enough to sample a pair of each. From the moment you take a pair of UGGs out of the box, there is no mistaking the quality and superior styling that this brand continues to produce. In order for men to look their best, we want our number one lady to look and feel great, as a couple in sync is always preferred.

The UGG Australia Women’s Claudine Boot is the perfect boot for the fall and colder months, as the subtle sheen of a full-grain leather upper is counterbalanced by decorative whipstitch detailing, sleek ankle strap and full medial zip with UGG polygon pull. The whipstitch really pops and elevates the overall appearance of these classics. Comfort is also well thought-out with a foam-cushioned, leather-lined heel with a 7mm curly UGGPure forefoot, a heat-embossed logo on the heel and an outsole that consists of a 3-inch stacked leather wrapped heel and 1/4-inch platform with molded rubber forefoot with leather-like finish and UGG feather logo on the arch. Nudge your girl towards the Claudine or just go out and buy her a pair for around $300.

Now that your significant other is taken care of, you’ll need to step up your shoe game for the fall as well, and the UGG Men’s Scribner wingtip-styled boot, featuring brogue detailing and round cotton laces, is the perfect choice. The soft leather twinsole boot construction was clearly designed with the comfort and quality synonymous with UGG, making it perfect for the casual yet important meeting or just looking your best when hanging out with friends. UGG hits the mark with comfort and understated swagger with the Scribner for a very reasonable price point of $175.

UGG continues to impress with some of the freshest designs, and as we march towards winter, we’ll be back with a few more suggestions to bolster the luxury boot options for you and your main squeeze!

Relive the 90s with the Blast basketball shoe from Reebok

August 25, 2014 / Bullz-Eye Staff

Reebok is bringing back the uber-successful Blast basketball shoe from the 90s, mainly worn by the great point guard Nick Van Exel, aka Nick the Quick. The Blast has reached celebrity status with its reverse contrast and OG style, and now history is about to repeat itself, because the best of the 90s is back.

We tested a pair to be sure that the 90s were as good as everyone remembers them, and these kicks stand the test of time, guaranteed to give all Bullz-Eye ballers out there both the style and lift they’re looking for when on or off the court. The Blast features Hexalite cushioning and a supportive cut, allowing players to explode to the hoop without worrying about rolling an ankle, while the stark contrast of the black and white with a touch of red really pops.

On Friday, August 29, 2014, limited pairs of the Blast (white/red/excellent red) will be available in adult sizing for $119.99 at retailers including Finish Line, Champs, Eastbay, Jimmy Jazz, Footaction, Villa and Reebok.com.
