Skin Blossom Reviving Eye Cream

As the fellow readers of The Amazing Blog will know already we absolutely love all things natural and organic. Once I started getting into products' ingredients, my overall view of skincare changed dramatically - I started investing on quality brands that offered me specifically what my skin needed. I learned to identify ingredients that skin, in general, doesn't need and that average skincare contains as a rule. One day whilst doing my research on organic brands and products, I came across Skin Blossom and their Organic Facial Skincare Range. At the time, I needed a new eye-cream as I was running out of mine (and didn't really love it...), and decided to give their Reviving Eye Cream a go. When it comes to eye-cream, I look for something very nourishing but not too greasy. I always tend to go for rich formulas and use the smallest amount of product, as I'm really scared of milia. Skin Blossom Reviving Eye Cream's consistency is just the perfect mixture of a cream and a velvety soft gel - it's gentle and feels fresh on the skin. The formula is 85% organic and 98.85% natural - it contains Green Tea (fantastic antioxidant), Eyebright and Buckwheat extract; very brightening ingredients that I found worked great on my undereye area. One of the things I liked the most about the eye cream is that it's very gentle and scentless; which makes it perfect for those of you with sensitive skin.

Skin Blossom's products are made of organic ingredients and certified to the strict Soil Association organic skin care standards; and they're also suitable for Vegans. At The Amazing Blog, we have loved this eyecream and we're really looking forward to using more skincare items by Skin Blossom. Their prices are affordable and their quality impeccable from our experience.

Skin Blossom Reviving Eyecream retails at £4.95. You can visit their website to see a full list of stockists.

 

 

 

 

Quick Crêpes

One of my absolute favourite things about visiting France is the crêpes. Whether it's just with sugar and lemon, or something more decadent like nutella and banana there aren't many sweet treats that can compare to a piping hot crêpe. Now, as we all know, I am so useless in the kitchen that I wouldn't even dream of attempting to make crepes at home but that's where Quick Crêpes comes in. I'm sure everyone reading has tried some sort of pancake mix in their life, but if you've ever tried a crêpe then you know they're worlds away from thick stodgy pancakes. But making them at home is a different story. Quick Crêpes has taken all the guess work out of creating your perfect crêpe, by mixing all the ingredients perfectly. All you have to do is add water to the pre-mixed sachet, et voila! It honestly could not be easier to get a taste of France in your home, and I will put it out there that I didn't even burn the first one. I used quite a large pan and easily got 6 crêpes from one sachet of their Traditional Crêpe Mix. I chose the simple but delicious lemon and sugar combo to top mine, but feel free to experiment with your fillers - maybe even a savoury crêpe! The delicious Quick Crêpes are made with buckwheat which makes for a crispier crêpe, and the ingredients in the mix are all natural. Even the packaging looks authentic and rustic, none of that cheap supermarket cardboard found here.

So if you're looking to add a bit of French flare to your kitchen, Quick Crêpes are the perfect addition to your summer menu. Available on their website from £4.99.
