Green People - Enrich & Enchance Lip Primer and Illuminating Eye Duo

Women are told constantly to respect their bodies not just in the way they perceive them, but also in the way they treat them. By using organic products, you protecting, nourish and respect your body.

We here at The Amazing Blog believe that organic products are the way to go, which is why we suggest that you try Green People’s new Enrich & Enhance Lip Primer and Illuminating Eye Duo. 

With the Enrich & Enhance Lip Primer, you can quickly and easily perfect your pout. Blended with Candelilla, Carnauba and Bees wax, this beauty must-have anchors and enhances your favourite lip shade while locking in hydration.

The Illuminating Eye Duo highlights and contours the eyes for natural radiance. It’s an eye shadow, highlighter and skin illuminator all in one. These organic eye shadows are richly pigmented and add a hint of shimmer to your eyes for a natural glow. Plus, you can use them to help give a beautiful blended colour.

As someone who regularly wears lipsticks and lip glosses, I really enjoyed wearing this primer. My lips felt smooth all day long and my lipstick faded less. I was surprised at the feel of the eye shadows as well - it’s almost like a matte material. The shades are a little too light to be used on their own for my liking, but I use them to even out the darker shades I put on my eyes by blending the colours to make a more natural look.

You can purchase the Enrich & Enhance Lip Primer here for £12.95 and the Illuminating Eye Duo here for £10.00. 

Living Nature - Hydrating Toning Gel

Here at The Amazing Blog, we're always on the hunt for great products with unique, natural ingredients. Living Nature’s Hydrating Toning Gel harnesses the beneficial properties of some of New Zealand’s unique botanicals and we couldn’t wait to try it.

Living Nature creates skin care products that include only certified natural preservatives, fragrances and ingredients. They also have one of the lowest, safest ratings on the Skin Deep Cosmetic Safety Database, so much so that Breast Cancer Network New Zealand has endorsed the range. Considering all of these impressive facts, we were excited to see what difference the Hydrating Toning Gel would make to our skin. The toner contains Harakeke, Active Manuka Honey and Larch Tree Extracts that help repair dehydration by drawing moisture into the skin. They are also alcohol-free and work to soothe, calm and restore the skin’s ideal PH balance. I was so pleased by how moisturised my skin felt after using the gel, and I can only imagine what the the rest of the Living Nature range could do for me.

The Living Nature Hydrating Toning Gel is available from a nationwide network of salons, pharmacies and health stores and you can buy it online here for £28.

The Original Make-Up Eraser

You walk into the bathroom and poof, your make-up is gone. How many of you wish that could actually happen? Here at The Amazing Blog, the last thing we want to do at night is spend forever cleaning our faces. Luckily for us, we've discovered the Makeup Eraser, an amazing tool that helps to remove your make-up quickly and easily.

Made from a specially knitted polyester/silk fibre, the eraser is designed to remove even the toughest make-up, including those water-proof products that are often hard to shift. All you need to do is wet the eraser and gently rub your face with it. When the eraser gets damp, it creates a hydro-mechanical process that breaks the surface tension of the oils that bond make-up to the skin, which is why it can remove 100% of your make-up so effectively. As well as being easy to use, the cloth promotes healthy skin by getting all the gunk off your face without using any chemicals. Plus, it’s dual-sided and machine washable, so you can cleanse with one side, exfoliate with the other, and just pop it in the washing machine when you're done.

I’ll admit I was a little skeptical about the product, but it really works. My make-up came off very easily and I even wiped a cotton ball on my face afterwards to double check. There was no trace of makeup left on my face! You can buy this miracle cloth here for just £15.99.

The Perfume Bible

Working in an office full of women, I often hear about the importance of fragrance. Perfume is said to add a personal signature and a final touch to an elegant outfit. In short, it's a powerful way to make a statement. 

When you’re walking through the crowded London streets, it's hard not to stop and take a whiff of the variety of fragrances around you. However, have you ever stopped to think about the art of perfume? If The Amazing Blog has sparked your curiosity, then go pick up The Perfume Bible by Josephine Fairley and Lorna McKay and learn a thing or two about that scent you put on your body everyday.

The Perfume Bible is your ultimate guide to the world of fragrance. It captures the romance and beauty of perfumery in an informative way that will deepen your appreciation and enjoyment of your favourite perfume bottle.

Josephine Farley, a best-selling author, teamed up with Lorna McKay, the leading fragrance and former Harrods/Liberty fragrance buyer, to create this beautifully-illustrated and comprehensive guide to scent. Packed with insider information from the world’s leading experts and interviews with some of the greatest international perfumes, this book brings together everything you need to know about perfume, including guidance on which ‘scent family’ you’re attracted to, the art of shopping for fragrance, and a run-down of the 100 Perfumes to Try Before You Die.

Gold Collagen - Forte

Here at The Amazing Blog we are no stranger to Gold Collagen and their anti-ageing products. We previously wrote a post about their Pure Gold formula, but we were excited to try their newest product. Gold Collagen generously sent us a month’s trial of their Gold Collagen Forte and we are pleased to say that it is very effective.

Thanks to this company, we have said goodbye to our average anti-ageing pills and moisturisers and hello to liquid supplements. Gold Collagen offers 3 different products that fight anti-ageing: Pure, Active, and Forte. Each product activates the cells in the body that produce collagen, which is essential to tackle all signs of anti-ageing.

When we discovered that Gold Collagen had so many products to choose from, we assumed that each would have its own individual taste or flavour. Gold Collagen Forte tasted the same as the other liquid supplements we have tried, however this products has the unique ability to provide the extra vitamins needed for 40+ women with more advanced signs of ageing. Thanks to the extra doses of vitamin B, though it tastes the same, it is much more effective. We will continue to use liquid anti-ageing supplements around the office because we truly enjoy products that work from the inside out. Purchase any Gold Collagen product on their website and learn more about the unique aspects of Gold Collagen Forte here.
