Time Bomb - Complexion Cocktail

We all like a drink at the end of a long day, but did you ever consider that your skin may feel the same way? The skin savvy people at Time Bomb certainly did, and they were kind enough to send The Amazing Blog their Complexion Cocktail to try, so that we could give our skin the drink it deserved. A liquid lotion containing a shot of chlorophyll, we weren’t sure whether to drink it or apply it to our faces. However, after a bit of research, we were well on our way to a beautifully clear complexion.

Designed to soothe stressed skin, the Complexion Cocktail has a wonderfully thick, lotion-like consistency. With only the tiniest amount needed on a cotton pad, it glides on to revive and refresh your skin after a long, tiring day. Although it doesn't give specific instructions for use, I found that the product worked best as an exfoliating toner. It feels so rich when applied, and left me with a glowing visage. As you would expect, it has an incredible scent. An uplifting blend of apple and mint, this potent cocktail smells as fresh as it leaves your skin feeling. Concocted with the perfect blend of ingredients, including a splash of centella to improve skin tone, and a dash of ginseng for added freshness, it’s made my previously dull skin feel like the life of the party.

The talented Time Bomb mixologists are really on to a delicious recipe with their Complexion Cocktail. It’s available to buy here for £24, so drink up! It’s good for you!

biOrganics - Leave-In Conditioner & Style Lock Hairspray

We here at The Amazing Blog love what we do, and are always hard at work. And although it’s great to be constantly ‘on’, we all need a little rest and relaxation from time to time. While we’re more than aware that this is the case for our minds and bodies, we often forget that our hair can also show the strain of a busy day. So, when natural brand, biOrganics sent us their Leave–In Conditioner and Style Lock Hairspray to try, we were eager to breathe a little life back into our lacklustre locks.

The Amazing Blog are passionate about organic products, so we were already impressed with biOrganics’ eco-friendly ethos before we’d opened the bottles. Their promise of natural, vegan, cruelty-free ingredients in all of their haircare is a quality we covet in our beauty products. As well as their impressive sustainability, their hair therapy offers really wonderful results. The Remoist Now Leave-In Conditioner, which contains popular ingredient, coconut oil, as well as organic chestnut extract, really brought shine and vitality back to my tresses. A rich cream that offers fantastic nourishment for dry hair, the leave in product keeps working after application, helping my hair to remain glossy and sleek until the end of the day. I was equally impressed with the Style Lock Hairspray from the Natural Body range. A paraben free natural spray, I was a little worried that it would leave my hair feeling clogged and sticky, but I was delighted to discover that this wasn't the case. A light mist, it helped to hold my hair in place all day long, whilst its lavender and rosemary oil left a fragrant cloud pleasantly lingering in the air.

Treat your tresses to a little TLC with this nourishing duo. The Leave-In Conditioner is available to buy here, and the Style Lock Hairspray, here, both for £12.

Zeos for Men - Warm Waxing Kit

When it comes to waxing, I'm sure there are many men, like me, who wince at the mere thought of such a painful ordeal.

Quite a bold statement to make, I was surprised to find that the wax really did last as long as they suggest. As well as being long lasting and a lot less painful than I was anticipating, the treatment only takes 20 minutes for both heating and waxing, meaning that I don’t have to dedicate hours to making my skin smooth and summer ready. Using quality wax which yields such great results, Zeos for Men is perfect for all skin types, designed for even the most sensitive skin. The kit comes with everything you need to get the job done, including heating applicator and docking station, waxing wipes and strips, a roll-on wax applicator and step-by-step instructions, offering the optimum waxing experience.

Ayo - Body Crème

In anticipation of more sunshine in London, we here at The Amazing Blog are getting excited at the very mention of the ‘s’ word. So, of course, we were overjoyed to receive a Body Crème from Ayo, aptly named Salute The Sun. A thoroughly British brand, with everything from manufacturing to formulating taking place in the UK, the botanical brand hosts a luxurious range of vitamin enriched products. We were keen to see whether their creatively named cream really did feel like sunshine in a jar.

Her first venture into the world of beauty, founder Susan Benjamin, centred the brand on an ethos of joy and happiness, capturing the essence of her sister's enchanting spirit. Pronounced 'eye-oh', the brand's premium products are the ultimate natural indulgence. Formulated with ethically sourced, organically certified ingredients, the range is designed to feel euphoric on the skin, and the Body Creme certainly succeeds in this respect. Scented with Indian sandalwood, patchouli, jasmine sambac, and rose & vanilla absolute, the Salute The Sun fragrance has a certain opulence to it, and reminded us of a hot summer day. The paraben free crème feels so decadent on the body, gliding on to create baby soft skin in an instant. Nilotica shea butter is an intensely nourishing treat, packed with enriching Vitamins A and E, whilst antioxidant chia oil acts to revitalise our parched skin. We love how quickly the silky crème sinks into the skin, leaving a beautiful, velvety finish. Not only this, the summer fragrance lingered all day, so that I could still smell the sunshine well into the evening. Its sunny scent will be enough to lift my mood on the rainiest of days. The Ayo Body Crème is available to buy here for £48.

Crabtree & Evelyn - Ultra-Moisturising Hand Therapy

Working in an office environment often has a very drying effect on the skin. As a result, we here at The Amazing Blog always have a huge array of hand creams on the go. So many, in fact, that we consider ourselves experts on the subject. So when the lovely people at Crabtree & Evelyn sent us a tube of their Lavender Ultra-Moisturising Hand Therapy, we knew what a great product we had on our hands! An intensely nourishing and rich treatment scented with soothing lavender oil, we’re really coveting this conditioning cream.

Containing ingredients such as shea butter and macadamia nut oil, the hand therapy feels really calming on the skin, and sinks in really quickly, leaving no trace of a sticky residue, despite its rich consistency. The addition of myrrh helps to condition nails and cuticles, which is essential for nail polish addicts like us. It's the perfect precursor to any manicure, and makes a great pairing with the Crabtree & Evelyn Nail Lacquers, which you can read about here. A little goes a long way with this product; only a small amount massaged into my slightly chapped hands left them feeling blissfully soothed, soft and moisturised. Fragranced with English Lavender, the cream offers a subtle, soothing aroma at the perfect potency, helping to calm both our skin and our senses. The intensely nourishing product keeps our hands happy and hydrated all day long, and has made itself a staple on our cream laden desks.

A 100ml tube of the Lavender Hand Therapy is available to buy here for £15, along with the whole beautiful Crabtree & Evelyn range. They have a great variety of fragrances to choose from, but we have to say, we’re in love with lavender.
