Bésame Cosmetics - 1935 Crimson Cream Rouge

We here at The Amazing Blog always appreciate a quality rouge made from a trusted brand. This month, we’re totally loving the Crimson Cream Rouge from Besame Cosmetics to give us rosy cheeks and lips instantly and effortlessly.

This product gives your skin a natural flush of colour while feeling weightless. A small amount goes a long way, so apply it straight from the container with your fingertips to your lips and cheeks. It lasts all day long and works well with the many skin tones here in the office. Since you control the dosage with your fingers, you can easily apply as much or as little colour as you’d like. It lasts longer than a powder blusher and gives a nice dewy finish that will keep you looking fabulous all day long.

One of our favourite aspects of this product is the vintage-inspired container, as it’s so elegant and timeless, just like the product itself. It’s great for popping in your handbag, as the container stays sealed tightly to keep the product fresh and prevent any leaking.

To pick up your own Crimson Rouge in a chic red-and-gold container, head to their website here to get it for £21.19.

Absolute Aromas - Relaxation Sea Salt Scrub

After a long day at the office, we here at The Amazing Blog love unwinding with a warm bath or shower. To make bathing a bit more luxurious, we love using a fragrant aromatherapy salt scrub on our skin to exfoliate and smooth our skin. Our new favourite scrub is the Relaxation Sea Salt Scrub from Absolute Aromas.

The brand was founded in 1994 by David Tomlinson with quality as the top objective for his products. Now the brand is one of the leading aromatherapy brands in the UK, known for their high-quality products that are crafted with care.

The Relaxation Sea Salt Scrub works to deeply cleanse by exfoliating skin all over the body, while essential oils moisturise long after the scrub has been washed off. The calming scent brings peace of mind after a stressful day – with Jojoba, Primrose and Almond Oils – as the gentle salt works to soften the body. We love how smooth our skin felt after using the scrub, and how it moisturised while getting rid of dead skin cells.

For silky smooth skin, pick up your own container of the scrub here for £15.50.

Funny Bee Paris - Honey Magic

We here at The Amazing Blog care about love skincare products that deeply cleanse our skin without stripping our skin of its natural moisture. With the Honey Magic Cleansing Balm from Funny Bee Paris, we get the best of both worlds, since it hydrates deeply while cleansing skin. It’s simply un-bee-lievable!

This 2-in-1 formula is gentle enough for daily use and can be used as both a cleanser and a moisturiser. To use as a cleanser, simply rub the oil in between your palms, massage into skin and rinse with warm water. If you’d rather use it as a mask, apply it to your skin and leave it on for five minutes before massaging into skin and rinsing clean.

It contains organic honey, jojoba and omega-3 oils to gently nourish and hydrate skin. It can even be applied near the eye area to prevent crow’s feet. We loved how well it moisturised our skin without irritation. Plus, it smells lovely due to all of the essential oils it contains, so it relaxed us as well.

You can purchase Honey Magic here for £25.

Skin Shop - KALME Basic Skincare Set

Now that we're putting the winter months behind us, most people are lucky enough to bid farewell to sore, chapped skin. For skin prone to rosacea, ruddiness and easy flushing, however, taming your skin is a constant battle, whatever the weather. We here at The Amazing Blog hate looking like Rudolph as we walk around outside. Lucky for us, Skin Shop’s KALME Skincare Set is helping to rid us of our red faces.

The KALME Skincare Set contains a brand new and patented extract of young caper buds that has been scientifically proven to help combat the symptoms of red skin and sensitivity by up to 70%. The new KALME range offers a plethora of benefits, which help to combat ruddiness and sensitivity, protect from UV damage, provide 24-hour moisturisation and a strong antioxidant action thank to its ingredients Derma Sensitive, NanoSun, Indinyl, and NDGA. I often suffer from redness around my nose, which flares up at the most unfortunate times, but after one use of the range, I noticed a significant reduction. My favourite product from the range is the Day Defence SPF25 Cream which, although not quite as moisturising as I would expect, is great when layered with an oil, offering sun protection to prevent any more redness appearing.  It's certainly a saviour when it comes to sore, angry looking skin.

The KALME Skincare Set (Basic) costs £39.95 and includes a SPF25 Day Defence Cream, a Night Repair Cream & Water-Free Cream Cleanser. Have a look at the Skin Shop website to stock up on the collection, and banish your bad skin days.

Sunescape Tanning Products

We here at The Amazing Blog love having sun-kissed skin. Since traditional tanning can increase your risk for skin cancer and premature ageing, we rely on self-tanning products to get the glowing skin we crave. That’s why we love the easy to use tanning products from Sunescape so we can rock a bronze skin tone all year round.

With their Hydrating Self-Tanning Mousse, you’ll get the glow you crave in only a few minutes. The colour is natural-looking and comes in two different shades designed to fit your skin tone, so you don’t need to worry about looking orange! It even hides cellulite and stretch marks while giving you colour, so this mousse will become your new beauty BFF. It contains macadamia, avocado and coconut oils, so your skin will stay smooth and conditioned.

For a long-lasting tan, reach for the Hydrating Gradual Tan Extender to build or prolong a flawless tan. It hydrates your skin with the same essential oils found in the Hydrating Mousse, but also contains added antioxidants to help rejuvenate and balance your skin. This product is better for ladies and gentlemen with fair skin looking to slowly build a tan, as it enables you to control the depth of colour you desire.

Head to the Sunescape website now and pick up the mousse for £24 and the tan extender lotion for £20, and soon everyone will be asking you where you went for holiday!
