Need a little sparkle in your life to truly get the week going? Something new and exciting that we have discovered here at The Amazing Blog is the idea of highlighters. Now that we have been educated on how to use them the correct way, they have become a very essential part of our daily make up routine. That being said, we were ecstatic when we found out that the highlighter possibilities extend far beyond the face, and thanks to Nourish Skincare Gold Glow Toning Body Shimmer, we can apply them all over our bodies!

This product is a lovely light mousse cream, designed to be used to accentuate areas of the body such as the collar bone, arms and legs. The cream both defines all of the right places while providing a shimmery glow to the skin, resulting in the perfect evening of skin tone.

Fit to pair with a post holiday tan, the highlighter will increase the skin’s radiance and firm skin tones by using nutrient rich marine extract and ultra hydrating acid. Overall, the product maintains essential moisture levels, highlights your best features, and will keep you glowing inside and out!

Nourish Skincare Gold Glow Toning Body Shimmer is 77% organic, cruelty free and made right here in the UK, making the golden glow it creates even more special!

 Nourish Skincare Gold Glow Toning Body Shimmer can be found here for £25.

Alassala - Moroccan Rhassoul Clay

Being the curious beauty enthusiasts that we are, we at The Amazing Blog love experimenting with unique beauty products and techniques. Having already fallen for organic UK brand, Alassala in the past, we were eager to try their intriguing new product: Moroccan Rhassoul Clay. Upholding Alassala’s 100% natural ethos, this ethically produced powder may just be the answer to all of our beauty needs.

Rhassoul Clay has been a multi-tasking beauty tool for centuries. Used to treat a multitude of skin and hair dilemmas, we were impressed to discover that the clay mix can be applied as a natural all-in-one detoxifier, cleanser and softener. With this vast collection of uses, it’s a sure-fire way to declutter your bathroom cabinet. All we needed to do was add few drops of Alassala Moroccan Organic Argan Oil and mix with water, and we were left with a silky smooth clay paste, reminiscent of a luxury spa treatment.  The natural oils allow the soft scrub to treat your skin and hair without any irritation, a quality that we can’t get enough of. Providing care for a variety of skin types, the clay gently absorbs impurities and excess oils from skin and hair, leaving us with baby soft skin, and lusciously smooth locks. Enriched with calcium and potassium, among other beauty boosting minerals exclusively sourced from the Atlas mountains, the product improves skin clarity, elasticity and texture as well as reducing dryness, flakiness and blemishes. The benefits of the clay treatment seem to be endless.

Used by the Royal Family of Morocco, we can certainly see how this natural Moroccan treatment is fit for a queen. You can purchase the Moroccan Rhassoul Clay here for £12.99, and you can shop the rest of the Alassala beauty collection here.

BRYT Skincare - BRYT Skincare For Him

Being the only male in the office, the grooming products I receive are sadly, but not surprisingly, few and far between. I’m pleased to announce, however, that this has been my lucky week, as The Amazing Blog received a range of mens beauty treats, courtesy of BRYT Skincare.  With a range of skincare for him, from cleanser to moisturiser, I couldn’t wait to go home and get cleansing.

Of the four products that BRYT Skincare kindly sent over; the Boys Foaming Cleanser, Boys Wash, Boys Moisturise and Boys Shave, I was most excited by the Boys Wash. A gentle lathering gel, the first thing that caught me was the smell. The minty scent provided a wonderful morning pick-me-up, and the fact that the product is a 'two in one' for both hair and body makes it ideal for those speedy morning showers when I’ve slept in for a bit too long. Despite being a foaming wash, the product wasn’t drying at all. A combination of amino acids and essential oils from apple, mandarin, lime and orange help to nourish hair and keep skin soft and supple, making it the perfect product to stash in the shower. I was also really impressed with the Boys Shave. Using a Far Eastern approach to shaving, essential oils soften the hair, making it easier and more comfortable to shave, and eradicating awful shaving burn. The soothing formula also includes essence of bergamot, known for its anti-acne properties, which will definitely offer me a helping hand on my bad skin days.

We all know that men are a little more relaxed in their approach to beauty regimes, but BRYT Skincare have put a little excitement back into my skincare routine. With an easy, fuss-free system, and multi-purpose products that simplify the skincare process, my skin will definitely thank me for discovering the BRYT way. Head over to the BRYT Skincare website to grab the Hair and Body Wash For Him for £13.99 here, the Foaming Cleanser For Him for £12.50 here, the Moisturiser For Him for £16.00 here, as well as the Shave for Him here for £15.00.

Divine Herbal - Facial Treatment Serum


As the colder months are slowly creeping up on us, here at The Amazing Blog, we are beginning to retire our light summer moisturisers, and the search is now on for rich, hydrating products to keep that dreaded dry skin at bay. So when natural skincare brand, Divine Herbal got in touch, we thought that their Facial Treatment Serum would be just the thing we were looking for.

A British born company, Divine Herbal strive to create botanical based, chemical free products, using a range of plant oils and extracts. Ever a fan of all things natural, we couldn’t wait to try out the intense serum, which claims to ‘correct pigmentation, dark circles and uneven skin tone.’ Although we don't think we've used it for long enough to support these lofty claims, we can certainly speak for its hydrating and nourishing abilities. After smoothing a couple of drops onto our face and neck in the evening, as per the instructions, we felt our tired skin breathe a sigh of relief as it drank in the nurturing oil. We definitely agree with Divine Herbal’s evening oil prognosis, as this is not an oil that absorbs quickly into the skin. Usually not a quality we value in our products, as a treatment serum, we were happy to leave it overnight to work its oily magic. A potent combination of Rosehip Seed Oil, Hazelnut Oil and Grapeseed Oil, among other naturally derived ingredients, it left us with an enviable complexion, allowing us to greet the day with a radiant, silky and supple visage.

If you’re looking to revive your skin in a natural caring way, the Divine Herbal Facial Treatment Serum is available here for £22.99.
