Love Coconut – Extra Virgin Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is arguably the most versatile product on the market right now. You can use it in beauty treatments, as a hydrator for hair, and as a healthier alternative in recipes. As a self confessed foodie, I like to use it for cooking. So when Love Coconut sent us a couple of jars of their delicious extra virgin coconut oil, we here at The Amazing Blogwere keen to get cooking.

The Extra Virgin Coconut Oil from Love Coconut is 100% organic and insanely healthy. In order to retain the maximum nutritional content, Love Coconut uses the “cold press” method to extract oil from the coconut, which involves separating the coconut oil from the cream after it has solidified, making the coconut oil extremely pure. Love Coconut’s oil is high in lauric acid and other medium chain fatty acids. These acids help you metabolize food faster, strengthen your immune system, and repair dry skin & hair. I started incorporating coconut oil into my diet by switching it for butter and other oils. I particularly like to use it when baking, because a slight hint of coconut can make recipes even tastier! When used on the skin it gives a great glow, without feeling greasy. There are endlless uses for this product, so go pick it up and see what works best for you!

Love Coconut Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is available here at £8.49 for 400ml.

BioCorrex - Skincare Supplements

Busy lifestyles, although rewarding, can often get in the way of really caring for our hair and skin. No matter how many products we slap on after a long days work, topical creams are not enough to maintain silky hair and a radiant glow. This is why we here at The Amazing Blog enjoyed the effects of BioCorrex, which gave us a boost of beauty that was more than skin deep.

 From the BioCorrex range, we were able to try the Skin Beauty Supplement, the Pro Skin BiOmega Oil and the Uber Skin Collagen Powder. Of the three, I found that I most enjoyed the Collagen Powder. The powder is the perfect addition to my morning juices. I have been simply mixing  it into my morning Vitamix  fresh green vegetable juice, along with my VitalGreens, and glugging away. This Collagen Powder contains a blend of linseed and pomegranate extract amino acids,  key for maintaining skin elasticity. The main ingredient, collagen peptide  is 100% marine sourced and the other ingredients are listed on the website for reference, along with a handy brand comparison chart. With the chart you can check up on how other collagen products stack up to this BioCorrex powder. So far I'm really liking what the Uber Skin Collagen Powder is doing for my skin and will be curious to see the future effects.

So why not try out the BioCorrex range to keep the wrinkles at bay. The range is available to buy here, with the Uber Skin Collagen Powder costing £64.95.

Rouge Bunny Rouge – Impalpable Finishing Powder

The Amazing Blog are no strangers to Rouge Bunny Rouge.  Having tried a number of their products before , we adore their quality pigments, and long lasting make up. When they sent over their new Diaphanous Impalpable Finishing Powder, we had the highest of hopes. An invisible setting powder that offers a velvety finish, we’ve been powdering to perfection ever since it arrived.

As much as it shouldn’t be a factor, we can’t help but be enticed by the woodland fairy style packaging. Inspired by feys of the forest, both the box and the casing are adorned with all manner of woodland type artistry. However, all style and no substance, this product certainly is not. The very finely milled white powder is a little alarming at first glance, but offers a beautiful finish when applied. Think less 18^th Century Marie Antoinette and more soft focus screen siren. The powder buffs onto the skin translucent and sets make-up wonderfully, covering flaws and imperfections in a manner that even a fairy princess would envy. With evermat and silica helping to absorb excess oil, and brightening Actiwhite, it left my skin looking satin smooth and airbrushed all day long. The obvious benefit of such an invisible powder is that it’s a universal product, suitable for all skin types. So whether you’re the fairest of them all, or the darkest ebony, Rouge Bunny Rouge can give you the gift of dream-like skin.

Transform yourself into a velvety vision with the Impalpable Finishing Powder, available here for £32.66.

O'Right - Goji Berry Volumizing Range

You all know how much we love natural beauty products here at The Amazing Blog. We are always on the hunt for new green goodies, so when we discovered O’Right, we could not wait to try it on our lovely locks. With their innovative wine bottle packaging, the Goji Berry Volumizing Range piqued our interest from the outset. We soon discovered that O’Right are more than just a pretty bottle.

One thing that really impressed us about the O’Right products is their unbelievably natural approach. We’re all for organic beauty, and everything, from the ingredients to the soy ink on the refillable bottles, is eco-friendly. This natural approach is more than apparent in the Volumizing Shampoo, Conditioner and Hair Cream, all of which we were lucky enough to sample. Suitable for fine, limp hair, the range of products produced great results, and I was particularly impressed with the conditioner. With its incredible fruity smell and smooth texture, it is rich enough to give my tresses the moisture and nourishment they need, whilst being light enough to leave it soft and bouncy. The powerful antioxidants contained in the Goji Berry reinforce the hair root and structure, giving your flat hairdo a fabulous boost. The overall green nature of the products and the positive impact it had on my thin hair, puts the Goji Berry Volumizing collection at the top of my hair care shopping list.

Grab the O’Right Goji Berry Volumizing Range here. The conditioner is available to buy for £18.95, the shampoo and hair cream for £18.25 and £17.90 respectively.

Ochre Body & Skin - Cherish & Awaken Body Wash & Lotion

Here at The Amazing Blog, we like to think we know our skincare. But although Ochre Body & Skin is an exciting discovery for us, it turns out that the use of ochre is far from new. Long ago, ochre pigment was a vital ingredient in one of the first natural, protective moisturisers. Although a lot more advanced than their namesake predecessor, Ochre Body & Skin still maintain this natural and healthy outlook. So when we received  their Cherish and Awaken products to try out, we were happy to know that we would be sampling only the most organic skincare.

We tried the Body Wash and Body Lotion from two of Ochre's gentle collections. The first, Cherish, is a balancing range, featuring cedarwood and patchouli, which showcases some wonderfully soothing skincare. Although we enjoyed using the Cherish products, it was the second collection, Awaken, that really impressed us. The entire Awaken range is designed to tone and detoxify with its delicious lemon and black pepper formula. A gorgeous soft scent with a little zing to it, the Body Wash lathers really nicely. Sea minerals act to moisturise and enrich the skin, whilst the addition of citric acid stimulates collagen production, helping to boost radiance and slow signs of aging. The Body Lotion, with its combination of softening sweet almond oil and invigorating essential oils, left my skin feeling soft and velvety, with a subtle, long lasting scent. After using this delightful skincare, we're sure we'll be Ochre fans for life.

Ochre have since expanded their line to include two more wonderful skincare collections, as well as a selection of haircare. After our fantastic experience with Cherish and Awaken, we're excited to sample the other skin loving products on offer. The Cherish and Awaken products are available to buy here, with the Body Wash costing £14 and the Lotion, £18.
