Ultra Pro-Tech Daily Protection Moisturiser – Claudia Fallah

Here at The Amazing Blog, we are astutely aware of the importance of protecting our skin from the sun and other environmental aggressors. That is why we always appreciate it when we receive products that offer a barrier against sun damage, whilst also nourishing the skin. The Ultra Pro-Tech Daily Protection Moisturiser by Claudia Fallah is a fine example of this.

Suited to all skin types, but perfect for those who have sensitive skin, this product is a non-greasy moisturiser that can be applied daily before makeup to provide high UV protection. Enriched with Vitamin E, regular application can aid in the regeneration of skin cells, delivering a more youthful and vibrant complexion to the face. Also perfume free and void of common chemical skincare irritants, it is a great product for those who are about to have or have had facial treatments.

Nourish and protect your skin with the Ultra Pro-Tech Daily Protection Moisturiser, available via the Claudia Fallah website here for £55.

Luxury Lipsticks – Rodin

Linda Rodin, the founder of Rodin Olio Lusso, once said that “I feel a bit naked without lipstick” and at The Amazing Blog we agree with her 100%! That’s why we wanted to share with you a little about the new Rodin Luxury Lipsticks range.

Recently launched, the Luxury Lipsticks are available in 5 unique shades, one for each occasion: the Tough Tomato, Red Hedy, So Mod, Billie on the Bike and Winks. They are based on the signature oil of the brand, Olio Lusso, and blended with Rose and Lavender Flower, Vitamins C and E known for their nourishing and healing properties and Apricot, Argan and Meadowflower oils that leave a very pleasant flavour on your lips. Our favourite summer shade is the Winks, a pretty and bright pink that is perfect on tanned skin and that can be used both day and night! We particularly like its creamy texture and the shiny finish that will gradually turn matte during the day and will reveal a lovely hot pink pigment. For a seaside look that pops, this lipstick is the perfect product.

Get ready for a bright summer with the Luxury Lipstick range by Rodin, available here for £32

Sun Moisturising Protective Milky Oil for Hair & Prodigieux Body Lotion - Nuxe

It’s no secret that we at The Amazing Blog have certainly been wooed by the French-made brand, Nuxe. So naturally, we couldn’t resist testing their new products, launched specially for this summer: the Prodigieux Body Lotion and the Moisturising Protective Milky Oil for Hair.

We already wrote reviews for their products, Prodigieux Le Parfum and the Dry Oil (find them here), and decided to complete the set with another product derived from this range: the Beautifying Scented Body Lotion. Just in time for summer, the body lotion blended with botanicals oils, will leave your skin glowing whilst deeply moisturising it after some fun in the sun. Apply it in the morning to energize your skin or at night to beautify your tan and always to enjoy the exquisite fragrance of the Prodigieux perfume! The second product that was launched is the Moisturising Protective Milky Oil for Hair. Blended with sun and water flowers, the milky oil will hydrate your hair as well as protect it from UV rays, salt, chlorine, and other elements that attack and damage hair during the summer months. You can apply the oil on wet or dry hair, before and during its exposure to the sun, in order, to maximise the effects and enhance your colour.
