Ancienne Ambiance - Goddess Waters

Working in an office can often be quite stressful for both body and soul, especially when the workload piles up and you don’t find the time to step away from the screen. However, here at The Amazing Blog  we have found the perfect solution in the Ancienne Ambiance Goddess Water. A unique product, the Goddess Water's uses range from a make up remover to a irritation soothing spray for pets and children. In soft Rose and calming Lavomile scents, we’ve been spritzing these heavenly waters left, right and centre in order to hydrate our skin and relax our mind.

Although the Goddess Waters are a bit of a multi-purpose product, we have found that they make a wonderful facial mist, with refreshing moisture just a spray away. Adding a glowing sheen to my stressed pallor, the Goddess Rose Water can also be used to reduce redness, acne, and skin irritations. Its antibacterial properties mean that we can use it as much as we like, with no worry of aggravating our skin. The Lavomile Water gets most of its use from us as a soothing room spray. The delicate blend of Lavender and Chamomile means it fills the office with a gentle scent, and is a lot more subtle than its floral rose counterpart, creating a much calmer environment in an often hectic office. So, if you need a rescue remedy, and want to try something a little different, let Ancienne Ambiance Goddess Waters restore inner, and outer peace to your work environment.

Both the Lavomile and the Rose Goddess Waters are available to buy here, both for £20.

Pulpe De Vie Tickle Me! Body Scrubbing Butter

Here at The Amazing Blog, we like to get rid of the dead weight...of dead skin cells that is! Smooth skin is something that we are all on the look out for so that is why when we got our hands on the Pulpe De Vie Tickle Me! Body Scrubbing Butter we were very excited.

This sweet smelling scrubbing butter is made with 99% natural ingredients. We like that the scent of the scrub is not overpowering, but still smells fresh and lightly fruity after it is applied to the skin. It also features amazing organic tomato and blackcurrant waters from the South of France that impart antioxidants into your skin with each use. The apricot kernel powder gently exfoliates and smoothes skin from top to toe, and this certified organic scrub is also safe to use for our sensitive sisters (or brothers) and is free of parabens, silicons, and GMO’s! Simply smooth on wet skin in the shower, let the apricot kernel powder scrub away your dead cells and rinse. After the shower, marvel at your newly soft skin and apply a moisturizing lotion.

Pulpe De Vie Tickle Me! Body Scrubbing Butter is available for purchase through Absolutely Devine  for £14.00 here.

Love Coconut – Extra Virgin Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is arguably the most versatile product on the market right now. You can use it in beauty treatments, as a hydrator for hair, and as a healthier alternative in recipes. As a self confessed foodie, I like to use it for cooking. So when Love Coconut sent us a couple of jars of their delicious extra virgin coconut oil, we here at The Amazing Blogwere keen to get cooking.

The Extra Virgin Coconut Oil from Love Coconut is 100% organic and insanely healthy. In order to retain the maximum nutritional content, Love Coconut uses the “cold press” method to extract oil from the coconut, which involves separating the coconut oil from the cream after it has solidified, making the coconut oil extremely pure. Love Coconut’s oil is high in lauric acid and other medium chain fatty acids. These acids help you metabolize food faster, strengthen your immune system, and repair dry skin & hair. I started incorporating coconut oil into my diet by switching it for butter and other oils. I particularly like to use it when baking, because a slight hint of coconut can make recipes even tastier! When used on the skin it gives a great glow, without feeling greasy. There are endlless uses for this product, so go pick it up and see what works best for you!

Love Coconut Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is available here at £8.49 for 400ml.

Rouge Bunny Rouge – Impalpable Finishing Powder

The Amazing Blog are no strangers to Rouge Bunny Rouge.  Having tried a number of their products before , we adore their quality pigments, and long lasting make up. When they sent over their new Diaphanous Impalpable Finishing Powder, we had the highest of hopes. An invisible setting powder that offers a velvety finish, we’ve been powdering to perfection ever since it arrived.

As much as it shouldn’t be a factor, we can’t help but be enticed by the woodland fairy style packaging. Inspired by feys of the forest, both the box and the casing are adorned with all manner of woodland type artistry. However, all style and no substance, this product certainly is not. The very finely milled white powder is a little alarming at first glance, but offers a beautiful finish when applied. Think less 18th Century Marie Antoinette and more soft focus screen siren. The powder buffs onto the skin translucent and sets make-up wonderfully, covering flaws and imperfections in a manner that even a fairy princess would envy. With evermat and silica helping to absorb excess oil, and brightening Actiwhite, it left my skin looking satin smooth and airbrushed all day long. The obvious benefit of such an invisible powder is that it’s a universal product, suitable for all skin types. So whether you’re the fairest of them all, or the darkest ebony, Rouge Bunny Rouge can give you the gift of dream-like skin.

Transform yourself into a velvety vision with the Impalpable Finishing Powder, available here for £32.66.

 

 

The Tru Brand - Holy Trinity Skincare

blog imageWe here at The Amazing Blog pay attention to our skincare regime religiously. So when we discovered The Tru Brand’s Holy Trinity, we prepared ourselves to worship a new found skin saviour. The trio makes up the foundation of any good skincare routine, consisting of the Ultimate Two-Way Deep Cleanse, the Liftonic Toning Treatment and the Holy Grail Facial Moisturiser. With these three products on our bathroom shelf, caring for our skin has never been more heavenly.

Offering a capsule range, all of The Tru Brand products work together in harmony and complement each other perfectly. Formulated with green mandarin essential oil to help unclog congested pores, and fine line reducing Liftonin, the Liftonic Toning Treatment felt really soothing to use, and worked as a wonderfully refreshing precursor to the Holy Grail Facial Moisturiser. Containing soothing camellia oil, the thick moisturiser felt so cooling on my tired skin, ensuring that my visage stayed intensely moisturised all day. A unanimous favourite in the office, however, was the Ultimate Two-Way Deep Cleanse. A versatile cleanser that can be used either as a daily wash, or swiped across the face and neck on a cotton pad, the product felt really hydrating, as well as leaving a delicious citrus scent behind. With extract of wild pansy, a great toxin cleanser, and antioxidant Vitamin E, it really helped to clear away daily grime, leaving me with skin that felt nothing short of purified.

Our skincare prayers have been answered with this trio of divine products. You can purchase the Cleanser, Toning Treatment and Moisturiser here for £25, £28 and £42 respectively.
