Clayspray - White Clay and Lavender Clayspray and Red Clay Claytherapy

Here at The Amazing Blog we love to use natural products for skin. When we received the White Clay and Lavender and the Red Clay Clayspray we couldn’t wait to try it.  It contains only pure ingredients, including clay, spring water, hydrogels and selected plant extracts.

The White Clay and Lavender Clayspray is a treatment ideal for purifying all types of skin and stimulating blood circulation. You can use it to soften your hands and arms, to deodorize your feet, relieve heavy legs and it has a lovely soothing lavender scent. It's the perfect way to relax your body and your mind after a long, stressful day in the office.

The Red Clay treatment is a specific face treatment to absorb impurities and sebum. This mask leaves your face looking good and your skin smooth and fresh. After using it for only two weeks my skin looked brighter and magnificently soft.

The clay is rich in minerals, ideal for its cosmetic and therapeutic properties: it purifies and removes impurities and toxins without affecting the skin's natural barrier. Clayspray uses different types of clay to respond to the needs of each skin type. The addition of a hydrogel ensures freshness and provides needed hydration for the skin. The Claysprays also come in clever container which only allows the amount you need to come out when you press it.

You can get the White Clay and Lavender Clayspray and the Red Clay Claytherapy here for £25 each.

Louise Young - Brushes

Here at The Amazing Blog, I’m sure that you are aware by now that we are self-confessed make-up mavens. A good eyeshadow or lipstick arriving in the office will make our day. That being said, we know that a great make-up artist is only as good as their tools.  So we were excited to trial the Louise Young Cosmetics brushes that landed on our doorstep, hoping that they would help us on our way to perfect make-up application.

We were lucky enough to receive a number of wonderful brushes from the collection, all of which we took great pleasure in using. Among our new stash was the LY48 Mini Super Foundation Brush. I’ve long been BeautyBlender convert, as I feel that it provides a more seamless application, but brush was super indeed, perfect for distributing my base, which I then proceeded to blend in with my fingers. I was also lucky enough to try out the LY37 and LY13 Mini Socket Brush. The former is labeled a Brow Brush, but I found that it was ideal for gel eyeliner, helping me to finally master that tricky feline flick. The latter was amazing for creating a smudged out look around the lash line. My smoky eye has never looked so great! What’s more, all of the Louise Young brushes are the creation of Louse Young herself, a highly acclaimed make-up artist, so you know you’re be getting great quality.

Apply your make-up with the skill of a professional, thanks to Louise Young Cosmetics. You can purchase the collection here, with prices ranging from £6 to £36. My favourites, the LY48 and LY37 retail for £19 and £9 respectively. 

Pevonia - Stem Cells Phyto-Elite Collection

Here at The Amazing Blog we’re always on the quest to find the ultimate anti-ageing solution, so we were delighted when we received Pevonia’s brand new Stem Cells Phyto-Elite™ skincare collection.

Thalgo - Absolute Hydra-Marine Concentrate

Let’s face it, as we were growing up, we all wanted to be a mermaid at some point or another. Watching The Little Mermaid or Splash had us envious of Daryl Hannah’s flowing locks and the wonderful colours of the ocean. Here at The Amazing Blog, we’ve become a little more sceptical of how great life under the sea would actually be. But we still go green with envy at the thought of the wonderfully smooth, beautifully hydrated skin that mermaids seem to sport. Cue Thalgo’s Absolute Hydra-Marine Concentrate, for a boost of marine radiance.

Long established in the world of marine beauty, Thalgo have perfected a homecare range for glowing, hydrated skin. One of six new products, the Absolute Hydra-Marine Concentrate is a 7-day intensive treatment, designed to bring radiance back to lacklustre skin. Rich in Hyaluronic Acid, it’s great for plumping and smoothing the complexion, giving that injection of moisture that our skin often craves. In dire need of hydration, we really noticed a difference to our parched visage after use. After applying morning and evening before carrying on with our usual skincare routine, our skin was looking more supple and cared for within a couple of days, more than ready to flaunt at the beach. 

Bag a complexion that Ariel would be proud of with the Thalgo Absolute Hydra-Marine Concentrate. Buy it here for £39.50.

Percy & Reed - Wonder Balm

Here at The Amazing Blog, we’re big fans of multi-tasking products, since they save us precious time and valuable money. When it comes to our beauty routine, time is essential, since we need to apply our makeup and style our hair accordingly before the work day begins and we’re rushing around our flat looking for our keys. Thankfully, we have the Wonder Balm from Percy & Reed to give our hair body, volume, moisture and protection, whatever the day has in store for us.

They haven’t named this product a “wonder” balm for kicks; it contains plenty of hair-loving benefits and ingredients combined perfectly to give you the style your heart desires. A few of the many perks inside of the adorable packaging include manageability, humidity protection, shine and softness. The contemporary and girly design of the bottle and packaging are beautiful finishing touches.

The Wonder Balm works best when used on towel-dried hair before styling, working from roots to ends. You can use it alone or along with your other favourite styling products, since it is such a versatile balm. It can also be used on dry hair as needed for extra definition and smoothness.
