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.

Gourmet Spirulina

Here at The Amazing Blog we love discovering a product that is the first of its kind, which is why we asked to receive Gourmet Spirulina, the first and only raw spirulina in the UK.

Spirulina was a traditional food of the Aztecs and the Kanem. The microscopic equatorial algae, grown in small-scale hydroponic farms, are now mostly used as a dietary supplement. However, Gourmet Spirulina offers you the opportunity to (re)discover this superfood in convenient food formats with great taste.

You can choose between the company’s nutty-tasting nibs, delicate petals or crisp crunches. Each of these contains a significant amount of iron, antioxidants and vitamins. Using raw Spirulina within a varied and balanced diet will improve your vigour and your health.

Just sprinkle the food on your dish or drink in a smoothie to reap the amazing, healthy benefits enjoyed for centuries. If you’re looking for more energy, these products will give you the boost you need to shine. You can purchase the products here for £12.95 each.

Friday Favourites - Lip Balm Feature

We at The Amazing Blog love a good lip balm for keeping our lips moisturised. This week, we picked our four favourite balms that will ensure your lips stay soft and smooth all day long.
 

Stress from work and bitter, weather-induced colds can mean unsightly cold sores, which can affect your confidence and your party-ready image. Thankfully, we have the liquorice lip balm from Skin Shop to keep cold sores at bay and our lips hydrated. The lip balm contains liquorice extract, so it helps to reduce the severity and duration of cold sores naturally. It evens works better than most traditional cold sore treatments, but doubles as a chic balm that comes in a stylish, circular container. The liquorice balm is free of parabens, perfumes, MI and SLS and is clear and natural with a faint liquorice aroma. To cure your cold sores fast and prevent new outbreaks from occurring, get your own container from Skin Shop here for £7.95 and get ready to see immediate results and flawless lips.

For a fabulous lip balm you can share with your lover, we love the unscented lip balm from Dr. Harris & Co. because of its modern packaging and super moisturising texture. The balm contains menthol and cocoa butter, which are restorative properties designed to make you lips as smooth as possible. It’s unscented and has a lightweight texture that is never sticky or overwhelming, and feels as soft as butter on your lips. The product is luxurious yet affordable and was previously featured in the British Airways First Class bag. To get your own Dr. Harris lip balm, head to their website here and pick one (or two) up for £4.95 and get ready for a kiss-worthy pucker.

Trying to find a solution to dry, cracked, winter-damaged lips? Look no further than the transparent lip balm from Couleur Caramel cosmetics for an easy, one-step fix. The lip balm is loaded with super-nourishing ingredients and comes in a cute lipstick-style tube, rather than a standard lip balm tube or pot. Since it isn’t sticky and feels ultra-lightweight, you can apply it as often as you desire from its lipstick-style tube to instantly smooth and soften your lips. It applies cleanly and is a wonderful base before using your standard coloured lipstick. Get your hands on your own nourishing balm for £15 on the Couleur Caramel website here and never worry about chapped lips again.

For a fresh and tropical twist on your everyday lip balm, we highly recommend the lime and coconut lip balm from Filbert’s Bees, a 100% natural body care company. The lime and coconut lip balm is only one of many different balms the company makes, but this flavour is one of their best sellers. It comes in a cute, little tin that makes it easy to take with you wherever you go. The organic coconut scent offers a smooth, buttery feel, while the zesty lime scent refreshes and awakens the senses. When combined, the two scents will transport you from your office to a tropical holiday whenever you use the product. To pick up your own Filbert’s lip balm, head here and purchase as many as you’d like for £3.85 each.

Viviere Hair Sprays

Make a wish. For those of you wanting gorgeous, thick hair, your wish has been granted thanks to your fairy godmothers here at The Amazing Blog. In just 30 seconds, your hair worries will disappear after using Viviere Volume Fibre Duo.

The Viviere Volume Fibre Duo creates thicker hair in 30 seconds. With tiny cotton fibres charged with static electricity, the Volume Fibre attaches directly onto your hair, creating four times more hair volume and body. It’s also great for masking hair outgrowth so no matter what the weather may be you can always be confident that your hair will look thick and lush.

To further attach the fibres, apply the Boosting Spray as if you were using regular hairspray. The spray gives your hair greater support and hold.

Before applying the Volume Fibre, wash and dry your hair thoroughly and then work the fibres through your hair with your fingers, making sure to distribute them evenly. Then spray the Boosting Spray when you are done. One container of each will keep your hair looking thick for 2 months and you can choose from a range of 10 different colours.

Whether you want thicker hair or hope to reclaim your lush locks, you can purchase the Viviere Volume Fibre Duo here for £44.97.

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.
