Lipgloss, Eyeshadow and Face Scrub - Uoga Uoga

This winter at The Amazing Blog, we are loving the deep, dark colours that we’re seeing all over the makeup scene. The brand Uoga Uoga are known for their natural, mineral based cosmetics, so we decided to try their dark Eyeshadow, Lip Gloss and Face Scrub.

One of their best-selling products is the Eye-shadow in the shade Just One Sip. It is made from pure natural minerals, with a burgundy warm matte finish that is soft and well-pigmented. This eye-shadow is long-lasting with great coverage all day and night, and we recommend using a primer to the eye lids before applying the shadow for a perfect finish. It also does not contain any synthetic colouring, so it is suitable for sensitive eyes as well. 

The second product from this brand is a natural Lip Gloss called Star On My Face, this lip gloss has a glossy, cherry tone which compliments all skin tones well. There are six lip glosses in their collection to choose from. Star On My Face is the darkest colour from their range, and is enriched with cherry extract and natural oils that will moisturise the lips with a non-sticky finish. Not only does this brand do make-up, they also do skincare products, including a natural face scrub called Go Nuts. This is one of their best sellers. This loose powder scrub can be mixed with either water or milk to create a facial cleanser, you can apply to the face by gently massaging and then rinse with cool water. The facial scrub is a mixed combination of almond and sunflower seeds which cleanses skin and remove any dirt from the face. The ingredients within the nuts will help protect your skin and nourish the face thanks to the protein and fatty acids and will help reveal the natural glow from your face.

Sebopure - Clarol

Acne can sometimes seem like an impossible barrier to overcome. Here at The Amazing Blog, we’ve discovered Clarol’s Sebopure, a cream that can purify and reduce excess sebum, which is often a cause for acne, that annoying result of a bacteria building up that eventually leads to break outs and congested skin.

Clarol skincare is a revolutionary skincare range for acne sufferers. Their products aim to strengthen, enhance and protect the body’s natural resources fighting acne without damaging surrounding skin. Sebopure is a cream that you can use to either leave overnight and allow it to soak in or during the day before applying other products. It contains an ingredient called Pixalia, a natural plant active derived from wild mustard leaf oil. This works to reduce the amount of sebum secreted by the glands, allowing the skin to be clear and preventing bacteria from building up and creating break outs, whilst increasing the skin’s good moisturising oils. The simple and small bottle is also perfect to carry around in your handbag or your travel bag.

For a natural, anti-acne alternative treatment try the Sebopure cream from Clarol available here for £12.95.

Snail Moisturising Revitalising Emulsion and Revitalising Lifting Cream - Escargot Collection

Here at The Amazing Blog we like to try all things quirky and new, our latest find is the Escargot collection, a skincare collection using the power of snails slime to assist in repairing skin.

We chose to review Escargot Collection’s Snail Moisturising Revitalising Emulsion and the Revitalising Lifting Cream. It may not sound like the most glamorous product to promote, however snail slime is known for its great healing properties such as reducing inflammation and redness, stimulating skin regeneration, and locking moisture into the skin. Actually, the use of snail slime for aesthetics goes back to Ancient Greece era. The packaging is glamorous with glass gold and pink bottles containing good quality inside.

The Moisturising Revitalising Emulsion is a serum, which we suggest to use after cleansing the skin to improve roughness, darkening and dryness. It leaves the skin revitalised, bright and transparent. It has an oily base so, only a pea size is needed and the lotion sinks into the skin straight away, you can definitely notice the skin looks brighter but not oily. However if you have dry skin you may need extra moisturiser on top. You can also use it on its own as nicebase for makeup. The second product we tried from the collection is the Revitalising Lifting Cream, which is similar to a usual day cream with an oily texture meaning very little product is needed. It soaks into the skin and keeps it hydrated longer, the skin is noticeably brighter and feels silky smooth. This products help reduce wrinkles and fine lines on ageing skins if you correctly apply them on face and neck. They are the perfect combination for renewal and glowing skin.

Treat yourself with some snail slime from Escargot’s Collection and their luxurious products. You can purchase the Snail Moisturising Revitalising Emulsion here for £27.00 and the Revitalising Lifting Cream here for £35.00.
