Multi-purpose hair products - Doop

Here at The Amazing Blog, we know how challenging it is to keep your hair in good form during a long day of intense work, especially when it comes to having difficult hair. Which is why we were excited to have the chance to try Doop’s products a hair care brand with a wide range of Multi-purpose hairstyling products.

Originally from Holland, this hair brand takes its edgy, cool inspiration from the street where they believe the best ideas come from. The products have been specifically designed and made by hair specialists with high quality ingredients to leave a natural look to your hair whilst helping you to style. The range is made up of 13 different serums suitable for all types of hair; we tried 3 products from the range, using Doop’s advice to get the perfect look. Firstly for long hair is The Saviour, this can be used to get a sleek or curly look. It’s best to apply when hair is still damp, and you can use a lot or little of the product as it leaves a natural shiny effect, leaving hair looking healthy rather than greasy. Next is The Catcher, this will make you feel proud of your curls, it’s great to use before blow drying whilst hair is still damp. It has medium to high hold and can be used on all lengths of hair. When used all over, this paste will activate the curls and give and hold them in place all day whilst adding shine for strong hair. Lastly we tried The Outsider, specifically made for short hair, this paste gives a super dry look. Simply rub a small amount into your palms and work through hair to create any style desired. We love their colourful tins and quirky names which reflect the character and variety of hairstyles that they cater for.

Little Known Box

Here at The Amazing Blog we can’t think anything that’s better than a beauty haul.  So we were excited when we came across Little Known box offering a mini beauty haul delivered to you every month. Little Known Box is a subscription service based brand, offering less well-known beauty brands with the focus on vegan and eco-friendly products, once a month.

As well as receiving 5-6 full sized products a month, there is a card with a bio for each brand, explaining their products alongside makeup artist Aimee Adams’ review of each.  We received the August box, the products included are Glittereyes pressed glitter, Amygdala beauty solid fragrance, Bardou dry shampoo, PHB eyeliner and Fairypants vegan lip balm. The variety of the products within the box makes it exciting, with it being August, the box is focused on Summer social events like BBQs, races and weddings. The collection of products are great for the theme, firstly the Glittereyes pressed glitter in Rosegold. The pigmentation of this glitter is perfect; we were also amazed that the glitter stayed put all evening with no need for any type of adhesive. The solid fragrance by Amygdala was a new idea for us, rather than a conventional spray, the scent is within wax so when applied to skin works the same as a scent, without the alcohol or irritants found within perfume sprays. Dry shampoo is a regular guest in the beauty routine for most busy women, the convenience and ease it’s too good to pass by. Bardou’s Keratin enriched spray gives you the London salon experience at home. Joining Augusts’ line up is also PHB’s natural and organic eye liner in black, this brand is a family run business with award winning ethical beauty products. The eyeliner leaves the perfect line, thin enough for precise application whilst having decent pigmentation. Lastly in the August box is a vegan lip balm by Fairypants, keeping in the evening theme as its' flavour is Peach Bellini, the wax easily glides over the lips hydrating them and leaving them super soft.

The idea of discovering new or boutique brands is great as you know your mainstream brand isn't going to pop up and every month there are new surprise treats. The August box is on sale until September 20th or until it sells out, but with this line up we’re sure the next months' are bound to bring more joy.

To order your August box click here or sign up to receive the boxes monthly here, starting at £15.95 for a one off. We can't wait to see what's in September's!
