Hair Masque, Multi & Omegas and 'How to Keep Your Hair On' Guide - Hair Today More Tomorrow

Hair loss in men seems to be more talked about in society over hair loss in women; we at The Amazing Blog want to change this. We’ve found an amazing hair loss treatment course created by Sara G .Allison called Hair Today More Tomorrow, and it promises to do exactly what it says on the tin.

Sara G. Allison is a registered nurse and currently a world-leading Harley street trichologist, who spent years recommending treatment supplements and plans to clients that she believed were never the complete solution. To fight this missing section within medicine she decided to create her own brand: Hair Today More Tomorrow. We’ve looked at the Multi & Omegas (awarded 'Highly Commended Best New Hair Product' for the 2016 Pure Beauty Awards), the Hair Masque and the "How to keep your hair on" guide. We think the trio is impressive and would give any women experiencing hair loss or hair thinning the confidence they need and help guide them back to healthy fuller hair.

The "How to keep your hair on" guide, this mini book is full of scientific information, advice and general help for anyone who wants to learn the root causes and how to change this. The Multi & Omegas comes in a handy box and the unique formula boats to help you feel, look and stay healthy. Secondly the omegas are mainly linseed oil, known to aid hair growth and the vitamins are a multi-vitamin perfect for any diet. Then, the Hair Masque is a weekly treatment mask aimed to help repair any hair problems including dry scalp. The combination of these three products and time, is sure to help your hair loss issues.

Products from Hair Today More Tomorrow are all available to purchase here. You can get "How to keep your hair on" guide  here for £12, the Multi & Omegas here for £ 75 and the Hair Masque here for £39.

Here at The Amazing Blog we know how time consuming or difficult it can be buying last minute presents, from the tricky family member or even a friend who seems to have everything. Don’t worry we have got the present ideas sorted! Today we’ve got the first instalment of our Christmas present list for her; with Thursday post focusing on fashion and accessories, today is all about beauty.

Firstly, from Accessorize we have a simple gift set, perfect for younger girls, comprised of 4 items: hand cream, lip balm, nail buffer block and tin. The travel-sized products are from Citrus Twist, a bold Aztec patterned and sweetly scented range. The hand cream comes in a 30ml size and the lip balm comes in 20g size, both perfect to carry around in a handbag. The nail buffer features 4 sides each with their own use; a file, a smoother, a buffer and polish to shape nails pre-painting.

For something more sophisticated try Orla Kiely’s mini fragrance gift set. Fig Tree, Earl Grey and Geranium are the scents within, a mix of strong scents great to mix up the everyday perfume. The miniature 5 ml bottles can easily fit into the smallest of bags for a midday or midnight touch up. Our office favourite is the fig tree scent, fresher and lighter than the other two scents but still a sharp scent. The perfumes come in an orange sliding box which can be re-used by simply taking the label off.

This trio of perfumes makes a perfect gift for any female adult and can be purchased here for £ 12.

For the woman who doesn’t seem to stop, whether it be working, looking after children, cleaning or going to events, the bathing flowers from Heathcote & Ivory’s Atlas Silk collection is a great idea.

Formed of roses of all different sizes and colours, the hexagonal box looks pretty even before you put them in the water. All you need to do is place them in warm running water where they float on top before dissolving to form a creamy sweet smelling bath, perfect after a long day or you can even leave them on the counter top looking pretty.

Raw Garden eyeshadow and Serene Light skin perfector - Rouge Bunny Rouge

Here at the Amazing Blog it isn’t a surprise to anyone who reads our blog how much we love cosmetics here in the office. We are constantly searching for new products to sample and we have found a new brand we all are keeping an eye on which is the Rouge Bunny Rouge.

First impressions we loved the products that were sent to us - we received the Raw Garden eyeshadow palette and the Serene Light which is a skin perfector.  The eye-shadow palette arrived in a sleek and sophisticated circular shape box with all black packaging that looked luxurious and high end.  There are four rich colours in the eye-shadow palette, a pink highlighting colour, a grey colour, rosewood and an aubergine colour. The shadows in the palette are stunning colours, they are highly pigmented and once applying to the eyelid because they are silky and creamy formula it is very easy to blend the product which makes it easier to work with. We also loved the fact that each shadow is enriched with argan oil, and the texture is light and seamless, not feeling heavy on the eye.

If you are looking for a product that will instantly refresh your complexion you need to try the skin perfector. It is suitable for all skin tones and you apply before you put on your foundation and use it as a primer or apply and wear this only. The perfector is a light creamy formula, and for an effortless look you can apply to the skin using your fingertips, foundation brush or a beauty blender to apply to your face evenly. Not only will it brighten your tone it will provide a flattering finish and diminish any fine lines.  There is a key ingredient that provides your skin with an illuminating effect which is the Diamond core powder; overall it will provide you with a natural glow and healthy skin tone.

 You can grab both products, the Raw Garden eye-shadow you can get here for £45 and the Serene Light skin perfector is available here for £44.

Brow magic comes in a twisty pencil packaging so there's no wasting time needing to sharpen, the pencial has a light brown, is highly pigmented formula which you can build more until you get the shade desired. For that eyeliner flick that stays all night, we recommend the smudge proof Liquid Liner from Poni Cosmetics.  This felt tip eye liner is perfect for beginners as it has a thin tip that will help to create a sharp, sleek wing. If you want the perfect brows you can purchase the Brow Magic pencil here for £21.91, and for the perfect winged liner you can get the Liquid Liner here for £21.91.

Last but not least was a team’s favourite we loved this brand and had a fun time experimenting with the brand Beauty Boulevard and they’re product Glitter Lips, it was very exciting. Glitter lips has a variety of glitters in several colours we received the colour Cherry Pie, was a really pretty purple which is great for the winter look, and a product we recommend having in your make up collection. If you like to play dress up and want to have an awesome selfie you need this product in your life.  As its December times its definitely an excuse to bring out the glitter, it will be a nice festival look for the celebrations soon coming especially as Christmas and New Year is round the corner. What we find really impressive about this product is how long-lasting the glitter lasted, it’s not like a lipstick that you have to top up constantly after drinking or eating something, we personally tried this product and find it only came off when ourselves wiped it off. Plus it has only four easy to steps to take and the instructions are on the back which is really helpful and easy to do.
