Lavera - Sweet Moments Body Lotion & Body Wash

We’re well aware of how difficult the quest can be to find effective, organic and sustainable skincare products. That’s why, at The Amazing Blog we’d like to reacquaint you with one of our favourite brands Lavera, which is an organic, vegan and 100% certified natural skincare.  Regular readers will know how much we love this brand, with many of their products featured here. Their mission is a simple one, and we particularly like that they practice what they preach.

The founder of Lavera, Thomas Haase dedicated his life to achieving his vision of producing organic and natural beauty. Over forty years on, it is still a family run business with their production in Germany. The range now has over 300 plant-based products, with organic ingredients sourced from all around the globe. Lavera is a multi-award-winning brand, which serves as a testament to their hard work and success.

We were very kindly sent their latest collection of Sweet Moments Body Lotion & Body Wash which we tried, tested and loved by all. The elegant duo pack comprises of a refreshing Body Wash as well as a nourishing Body Lotion. As we’re into the winter months, they couldn’t be more perfect to help nurture and protect the skin from the cold weather. Enriched with organic plum and vanilla, our skin felt pampered and healthy - the warm, inviting and subtle fragrance is an absolute treat for the senses. Both products nourish the skin, the Body Wash gently cleanses, while the Body Lotion quickly absorbs giving the skin suppleness. Also to quickly to mention with both these products, a little goes a very long way. Why not treat yourself or your loved ones to this body care duo this Christmas, at a very affordable £15.95 see here to purchase.

Lavera – Illuminating Effect Fluid

Since the highlighter craze began in full force, The Amazing Blog joined in trying Benefit Cosmetics’ Watts Up! Highlighter and Rouge Bunny Rouge’s Love Lights Highlighting Powder. Both solid highlighter products gave our cheeks a heavenly glow, so we were excited to mix things up with a liquid highlighter and see the results. We were even more excited to receive the Illuminating Effect Fluid from one of our trusted brands Lavera, which has brought us so many #amazingfinds over the years from the SOS Help Hand Balm to the Powerful Lashes mascara.

The 100 per cent certified organic company has been a leader in the worldwide natural cosmetics industry since its founding in 1987. Its core mission is to create products that are ‘beautiful, natural, effective’ and sustainable. This mission is seen in everything from where the raw ingredients are sourced to product packaging and disposal.

The Illuminating Effect Fluid is no different from Lavera’s other products in its high-quality organic and natural ingredients as well as effectiveness. The highlighter, which we tried in Sheer Silver, has a light and creamy texture with pigments that naturally reflect light. It spreads easily and a little bit of this product goes a long way, even a light layer leaves a bright pearlescent sheen on your skin. While one layer of the highlighter is quite subtle and natural looking in the sun, you can build the product to create a deeper shine depending on if you want to refresh your typical look or make your cheekbones and brow bone pop. You can also use it as a foundation primer or mix it with moisturiser for an everyday glow.

The formula includes actual pearl extract to fresh your complexion and sunflower oil to smooth skin for additional radiance. Jojoba and shea butter help nourish skin with vitamins and minerals, and shea butter has even been proven to help with anti-ageing. It has also been dermatologically tested and is good for sensitive skin. You can purchase the highlighter (30ml) here for £14.90.

Hydro Effect Serum and Re-Energising Sleeping Cream from Lavera Naturkosmetik

Pollution is almost inescapable in 2017, and at The Amazing Blog, we know that pollution affects us not only on the inside but also causes problems for our skin. Lavera, an all natural beauty brand understands that pollution is becoming an ever increasing problem, and they want to fight against this. Their new Hydro Effect Serum and Re-Energising Sleeping Cream both contain anti-pollution technology, aiming to protect the skin from the environment as well as providing hydrating and anti-ageing benefits.

Lavera's new Hydro Effect Serum battles against daily pollution exposure using highly effective antioxidants, organic algae and white horehound extract from the mint family. These ingredients not only help with anti-pollution but also hydrate the skin to prevent signs of premature ageing. Apply a few drops of the light weight formula to the skin, let it absorb and then apply moisturiser. Natural hyaluronic acid, organic aloe vera and biosaccharides provide a hydrating, cooling and soothing effect throughout the day.

We also tried the Re-Energising Sleeping Cream which aids the natural skin repairing qualities overnight by targeting damage from pollution during the day. The cream also nourishes tired skin and helps produce a fresh feeling in the morning. The Re-Energising Sleeping Cream contains almond and olive oil to smooth and increase radiance, while organic grape and vitamin E provide anti-ageing properties. Massage gently into the skin after cleansing and toning before bed.

Both the Hydro Effect Serum and the Re-Energising Sleeping Cream and vegan friendly and cruelty free. Purchase the Hydro Effect Serum (30ml) here for £19.90 and the Re-Energising Sleeping Cream (50ml) here for £16.90.
