Lucy's Lotions - Body Butter & Rejuvenating Night Oil

Do you ever find yourself wishing that you could tell your skin how to behave? Here at The Amazing Blog, we're often plighted with bad skin days. More often than not, they make their unwelcome appearance when we're heading to an important meeting or daunting first date. Thankfully, Lucy Gordon, founder of Lucy’s Lotions, felt the same way, and she has created a collection to help us finally take charge of our complexion woes.

When Lucy was younger, she spent her weekends creating unique skincare blends with her aunt, who is an aromatherapist and herbalist. Suffering from acne later on in life, this gave her the drive to create her fabulous vegan Vitamin E and Grapefruit Range.

From the range, we tried the Rejuvenating Night Oil and Body Butter. The Rejuvenating Night Oil contains a luxurious blend of 6 oils, including Argan and Avocado Oil. These oils promote cell renewal and help soothe and repair damaged skin. Smoothing the oil onto my face in the evening, it was fantastic for brightening my complexion. During winter, my hands became particularly chapped too, so I decided to experiment, massaging the oil onto my mitts. It was such a great discovery - it sunk right in and the tiny cracks on my hands were all gone the next day! The Body Butter contains Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter and Aloe Vera, which reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks, soothe damaged/sensitive skin and intensely hydrate. I use the butter after shaving my legs for a wonderfully soft and soothing finish that smells divine.

Want to banish those bad skin days? Head on over to the website and purchase the Rejuvenating Night Oil for £26.00 here and the Body Butter for £16.00 here.

Baume 27 from Cosmetics 27

Ayurvedic medicine is one of the world’s oldest holistic healing systems, developed thousands of years ago in India. Based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between the mind, body and spirit, it promotes good health instead of fighting disease. We here at The Amazing Blog also promote good health, which is why we think you should try the new Baume 27 from Cosmetics 27.

Convinced of the need to repair the damaging effects of time and to protect the skin, Cosmetics 27 became interested in the amazing properties of Centella Asiatica. Within the Centella Asiatica plant there is a wealth of virtues and properties that are used in Ayurvedic medicine.

Baume 27, Bio-Energising Cell Repair Balm is a daily, global, anti-aging skincare treatment for the face. The unique formula is based on a complex made up of 3 purified natural extracts of Centella Asiatica, called MA2 Complex. It contains 27 active ingredients that work in synergy to repair, regenerate, soothe and re-balance the skin, resulting in a smoothing of wrinkles and fine lines. Although the balm is particularly suitable for dry and dehydrated skin, it is also recommended for damaged skin.

You can purchase the Baume 27 Bio-Energising Cell Repair Balm here for £112, and watch the properties of Ayurvedic medicine do their work.

Korres - Party Survival Kit

Here at The Amazing Blog, we love a good night out as much as the next person. Sadly, our skin tends to disagree, and often looks tired after a night on the tiles. Thankfully, Korres understands our dilemma, and they have put together a Party Survival Kit, containing everything you need to pamper your skin after a few too many drinks and not quite enough sleep.

Inside the colourful kit you'll find a range of wonderful Korres products, including their Wild Rose Cream, White Tea Facial Gel Cleanser, Aloe and Dittany Shampoo, Guava Shower Gel and Basil Lemon Body Milk. The party perfect products are designed to delicately cleanse and moisturise your body, skin and hair so you look great despite the toll that an active nightlife may have on your appearance. All of the products in the set are travel-sized but deliver big results, so they’re ideal for mini-breaks as well as party-hopping evenings. 

Favourites in the office include the Facial Gel Cleanser, which helped to clear away all of the grime and impurities that our skin had picked up during the evening. The Basil Lemon Body Milk is also a wonderful way to soothe tired skin and give it a boost of energy after a long night.

Perfectly designed for party people, avid travellers and skincare junkies, get your hands on this set here for £19 and help your skin to survive the night.

Optimised Energetics - Colloidal Silver Balm and Natures Greatest Secret

Here at The Amazing Blog, we are always looking for new and interesting products to help us acquire that perfect complexion. We’re pleased to say we’ve finally found it with Optimised Energetics Colloidal Silver Balm and Natures Greatest Secret. 

Optimised Energetics is committed to offering the finest quality Colloidal Silver products. Colloidal Silver is one of the most effective natural anti-microbial agents because of its colloidal state, which allows for incredibly fast absorption into the body, making sure viruses bacteria and fungi don’t have enough time to build up a resistance to the product.

When used in gel form the Colloidal Silver Balm stays on the skin longer and is more effective. Plus, the gel has a lower PH level than the solution based colloidal silver, which may be more suitable for some skin conditions. Natures Greatest Secret is a new range of skin care products containing extra virgin coconut oil and silver. These silky smooth salves have medicinal properties and act as natural moisturisers. Both of these products are non-sticky and dissolve right into the skin, leaving it feeling refreshed.  After using it, I'm already starting to notice a difference to my spot-prone complexion.

If you haven’t found any other skin or pharmaceutical products to help clear up those difficult skin problems, you can purchase the Colloidal Silver Balm here  and Natures Greatest Secret here  at £16.95 for 100 ml. 

Friday Favourites - Touché by Flavien

We here at the Amazing Blog have tried our fair share of anti-ageing products. We particularly rate some of the collagen supplements which we have experimented with recently. And we still have a plethora of anti-ageing products that we are gradually working our way through. However, there is one company that always seems to stand out for us. In fact, our Executive Editor just can’t get enough of Touché by Flavien and the products that this company send us. This time around we are focusing on their luxurious skincare.

The initial product we tried was the Rejuvenating Eye Cream. And what good is the perfect anti-ageing product if you can’t see the results? Thanks to the special ingredient of Lichens, sourced 2500 meters below sea level, the product is extra rich in anti-oxidants. The cream also contains the signature exclusive Prickly Pear Oil, which we have discussed in our previous post on Touché by Flavien’s Bodycare. The product ingredient here is the Konjac Powder, a plant derivative from an Asian potato, that is loaded with protein, copper, zinc, phosphorus and more. With this ingredient, you will never have to worry about those nasty dark circles underneath your eyes or crows feet. If your eye areas feel a little lacklustre, you can purchase the Rejuvenating Eye Cream here for £79.00 for 15ml. 

Next, we’d like to focus on the entire face with the Rejuvenating Face Serum. Like the eye cream, this serum also contains the special ingredient of Konjac Powder. However, it also contains its own unique ingredients, including Moringa Oil and Progeline. Moringa Oil has been revered as one of the world’s most nutrient dense oils and has amazing rejuvenating properties. Recently, current technology has given us Progeline, which not only tackles wrinkles, but also remodels and improves texture and tone. Even if this product was designed to use on the face, we, along with others, have found that you can actually apply it on your chest, shoulders and neck as well.  Unlike your average anti-ageing moisturiser, this product truly replenishes every layer of your skin, rather than just moisturising the top. Say good-bye to sagging skin and purchase the Rejuvenating Face Serum here for £170.00 for 30ml. 

Finally, we would like to tell you about the Cell Regeneration Moisturiser. This moisturiser contains a very special ingredient: Lotus Root Liposome. It is the only known plant to live in all three elements at the same time: earth, water and air. Can you say that about any of the anti-ageing products that you’ve tried? We promise that this moisturiser will not only hydrate your skin, but it will also balance your skin tones, complexion and the overall colouring of your skin. It’s time to breathe new life into your skin by purchasing the Cell Regeneration Moisturiser here for £89.00 for 50ml.

The quality of all of these products is just absolutely top notch. Not only do they have some of best the ingredients and the performance that we’ve tried, but they’re also boxed up in extremely chic black and gold packaging. Touché by Flavien also very generously sent us other skincare products, which we tried and loved just as much as we usually do. Instead of revealing all of the utterly unique and elite ingredients, we suggest you try them yourself. Take a look at the company’s entire skincare line and you will never have to worry about looking your age again. Thank you, Touché by Flavien!
