Daily Moisturiser, Defining Oil and Vibrancy Serum by Electric Ink

Tattoos are a beautiful and unique form of self-expression, one that has been around for thousands of years and is continuing to grow in popularity. Despite all this and the growing acceptance of tattoos in society, there is still a stigma that surrounds them. One of the most common ‘questions’ – although it’s more of an exclamation – is, “but aren’t you scared it’ll look bad when you’re old, and it’s faded?” Well, if you get asked this a lot and maybe it is a fear of yours, The Amazing Blog has the solution. The brand is called Electric Ink, and they specialise in Tattoo preservation products, which are also vegan approved. We can't think of a better time than now as the sun is out and so is our bare skin and ink. 

Electric Ink has three fabulous aftercare products that are packed with active ingredients to keep your tattoos looking fresh and vibrant, as well as keeping your skin nourished. The first product is their Daily Moisturiser. The moisturiser contains Liftonin-Xpert which helps to reduce signs of redness and inflammation and supports the intensity of the tattoo ink helping it to remain more defined for longer. The Inca Inchi Oil and Coconut Oil in the cream help to maintain skin's hydration and improve skin's elasticity to help prevent tattoos from sagging. The second product is the Vibrancy Serum which also has Liftonin-Xpert and Inca Inchi Oil, as well as Vitamin C. The latter helps to protect skin from sun damage and reduces signs of redness and inflammation. The serum also contains Amino Acids which act as a skin conditioner, regulating the pH-balance to improve the clarity of the skin. The final product is the Defining Body Oil, which moisturises while delivering gloss and clarity for a fresh ink look. The oil shares similar ingredients to the other products but crucially contains White Lupin Seed Extract which is rich in Lupeol, helping to keep skin firm. 

If you want to protect the vibrancy and vivacity of your tattoos then you can get the Daily Moisturiser here for £10.95, the Serum here for £12.95 and the Body Oil here for £10.95. 

'Heaven Scents' Discovery Box - The Perfume Society

At The Amazing Blog, we know how easy it is to both love perfume and fragrances but hate shopping for them. It can be daunting, which is why we often stick to one fragrance for years until it’s recognisably our scent. While it can be lovely to have a signature scent, sometimes you want to diversify, but the idea of wading through the scented halls of department stores can be as mentally overwhelming as it is overwhelming for the senses. This is why we are such big fans of The Perfume Society and their Discovery Boxes. We were lucky enough to receive The Heaven Scents Discovery Box, but there are over forty to choose from.

Each discovery box is filled with various perfume samples, allowing you to dabble in different fragrances until you find one, or a few, that you like. We received eight (!) samples in our box, ranging from floral, to fresh, to fruity, to gourmand scents, featuring fragrances from brands such as Prada, Jimmy Choo and Miller Harris. If you're interested in the complexity of perfumes, such as the top notes, heart notes and base notes, then the information cards that come alongside each perfume will be a standout addition for you. We loved this touch as it helped teach us what it was about each perfume that we liked, helping us to discern what we want in a fragrance. The box also contained a gift of a full sized bottle of Judith Williams Body Butter, which smelt so divine we understood why our box was called Heaven Scents!

Ginko & Sabal Fortifying Shampoo by Reseed

All of us here at The Amazing Blog know how powerful and beautiful you can feel when you have a good hair day. Having healthy, full and bouncy hair can transform your confidence. A mere good hair day can help you get your voice heard in an important meeting, make you feel irresistible for a first date, or make wearing that new summer dress, the one that’s been sitting in your cupboard for weeks, a little less scary. For us, Reseed’s miraculous Ginkgo and Sabal Fortifying Shampoo is the product that gives us a spring in our hair and our step.

There is a reason that over 91% of Reseed users would use the products again, and it’s because of the specifically designed 3 step system Reseed has developed. Their products aim to prevent hair loss, restore and promote natural hair growth and strengthen the health of hair. All of which means their products lead to fuller, shinier and healthier hair. The use of biotechnology has led Reseed to develop products using natural ingredients and excluding additives like Minox Idil.  With essential pro-vitamins, this shampoo contains a unique synergy of active ingredients to cleanse away substances that can clog hair follicles (such as pollution, smoke and dirt). In addition, it increases the hair's structural fibres, strengthening the roots of the hair leaving softer, stronger and shinier locks. The Vitamin F Forte in the shampoo contains polyunsaturated essential free fatty acids which revitalise the hair's condition and prevent hair breakage – even after hair straighteners have frazzled the hair! The Vitamin E Acetate is an active antioxidant that is particularly good at protecting hair from the sun. 

This product is founded in nature and science and can do nothing but good in our eyes.  You can purchase Reseed’s Fortifying Shampoo here for £25.00.

Evanesce Crème - Evanesce

Coconut Oil has very much become the beauty product du jour. With its versatility, the oil can be used to nourish skin, smooth hair and even whiten and strengthen teeth! Now, The Amazing Blog loves a multi-tasking wonder product as much as the next sane person. There is still a very common problem when a product grows in popularity, which is that it gets watered down and mixed with a million other ingredients to help with mass production and save money. All of this can stop the product from being as effective as it can be. However, we recently came across Evanesce who produce Evanesce Crème which is a cosmetic grade, 100% pure, organic virgin coconut oil. It is exactly what it says it is on the luxurious matte black glass jar!

Evanesce only use the finest ingredients, by picking only mature coconuts from organically certified groves, before carefully sorting them and using an ultra-cold process to extract the oil. This result is a pure form of coconut oil that absorbs quickly into the skin and has a delicate aroma that fades leaving the skin soft and supple. What’s more, the Evanesce Crème has incredibly high levels of Lauric Acid and Anti-Oxidants which helps skin heal faster and reduces signs of ageing. The raw, organic virgin oil is vegan and cruelty-free, meaning it’s as guilt-free as it is effective! Each jar comes with a small 14-page leaflet explaining the various uses of the product, meaning that you can get the absolute most from your miracle in a jar. 

You can purchase the Evanesce Crème here for £29.00 and shipping is free for all orders in the UK!
