Friday Favourites - Father's Day Gift Ideas

With Father’s Day just around the corner, here at The Amazing Blog we’ve compiled a list of our favourite beauty and grooming products to treat your old man, and get him looking and feeling great this summer.

First on our list is Belnatur’s Only Men line which has a great range of products designed to provide deep hydration, firmness and luminosity without a greasy feel. Two of our favourites are Belnatur’s Only Men After Shave Comfort (£16.99 for 150ml) and Belnatur’s Only Men Energy Fluid (£17.99 for 75ml).

Rich in White Willow, Cucumber, Witch Hazel and Aloe Vera, the Only Men After Shave Comfort is a refreshing gel that soothes the irritations caused by shaving. It assists with the prevention of premature aging and stimulates collagen production.

Belnatur’s Only Men Energy Fluid is light and non-greasy and recharges the skin with vitality and energy. It also improves water retention and increases skin’s flexibility.

Belnatur’s high performing products can be purchased from their official UK website and at salons nationwide.

Next on our list is one of our favourite ranges of hair products over here at The Amazing Blog. Label M is high on our list, and we think their thickening tonic (£10.95 for 150 ml) and deconstructor matt paste (£11.50 for 50 ml) make a great Father’s Day gift.

If your old man is slightly thinning on top, the thickening tonic is a unique gel to liquid formula which gives instant volume and texture to your hair. The deconstructor paste is also a fabulous product, great for those who like to style their hair, but love the rough and ready look.

The Label M range is available in a number of hairdressers including Toni & Guy. You can also buy the products from Label M’s site here.

Next we have men's body and skincare brand Scaramouche & Fandango , who have brought out two new grooming gift sets right in time for Father’s day. The Twin Pack (£13.50) comprises the daily shower essentials for men, including the brand's cleansing black quinoa and shea butter Shampoo and invigorating Brazilian papaya and vitamin E complex Body wash.

The Triple Pack (£25) helps start a skincare regime in three simple steps, and includes a Face Scrub; Shave Cream, containing guava extract to protect against razor burn; and a Hydrator.

We love that the products are fragranced with the range’s signature scents and are paraben free and 98% naturally derived. The products are suitable for all skin types and are made in the UK, and can be found at John Lewis, House of Fraser, Fortnum & Mason and Fenwick or from their website here.

Last, but certainly not least, New British luxury men’s grooming brand Thomas Clipper have the perfect shaving gift set this Father’s day, featuring the brand’s trademark built-to-last solid metal razors.

The Mark One (£85) and the Mark K (£125) shaving kits come with an exfoliating organic cotton flannel, an anti-inflammatory, organic shave balm, and razors that can be hand etched with up to 4 initials, to give your gift that personal touch.

Unfortunately we did not receive a press sample, so we can't really tell you what it is like. But we really liked the look of it! You can buy the gift sets from the Thomas Clipper website.

 

Oildeology - La Vie en Rose Drops

Here at The Amazing Blog we know how vital it is to keep our skin looking youthful and fresh by applying moisturisers and cleansers. But what about a product that works from the inside out? We thought that this idea would make a lot of sense, and we were lucky to receive La Vie En Rose drops  by Oildeology.

This product was designed using innovative technology to extract active ingredients from the flowers of Rosa Damascena to create an organic certified supplement. La Vie en Rose is a 100% natural product and is of extremely high quality that is also high in nutritional value. The drops improve skin condition and maintain the youth of your skin with the subtle scent of Bulgarian Rose. This scent is not only a relaxing fragrance but also raises your resistance to stress. This has a beneficial effect on sleep and counteracts premature signs of aging. All you need to do is add 15 drops to 100ml of water, tea or juice. The drops will support the function of the skin, hair and nails. La Vie en Rose is a nutricosmecutical product that actually works with your body to produce and maintain younger looking skin.

While traditional beauty products only function on the surface of the skin, a product like this will have multiple benefits to your entire body and not just the skins surface.  You can buy La Vie en Rose here for £21.00.

Lip Voltage - The Powerhouse

Full lips are certainly one of this year’s biggest make-up trends, that is why we here at The Amazing Blog were delighted to receive The Powerhouse by Lip Voltage. Enhance your lips without the plastic surgery.

This is the world’s first super charged lip plumper which yields to fuller looking lips using three plumping ingredients in one. The product utilises two French and one new Spanish formulation, but also adds extra collagen to give you plumper lips with results that will last throughout the day. As with the majority of lip plumpers, there is a slight tingling sensation for a few minutes, but it is worth the resulting 24 hour prominent pout you will be sporting. The power of the three ingredients gives your lips a gorgeous 3D effect whilst improving the texture of your lips using NG Shea Butter. This lip plumper actually stimulates your lips to produce a pout boosting effect, no pain three times the gain! With daily use this product has collagen building properties, not just an instant effect but a lasting one.

You can purchase this Lip Voltage Lip Enhancer enhancer from The Luxury Beauty Company here for only £25.00. Use daily, apply all over lip area and massage into cupids bow to gain the full benefits of the product. 

Phyto - Huile Soyeuse Lightweight Hydrating Oil

Ivana Trump famously said, “Gorgeous hair is the best revenge”, and over at The Amazing Blog we couldn’t agree more! Your hair can be your best accessory. We love to blow-dry, straighten and curl our gorgeous locks, but we know that it’s important to use the right products to protect and hydrate our hair.

Haircare brand Pyhto have developed a leave in conditioner which is perfect for dry and fine hair. The highly botanical formula is the perfect balance between plant-derived oils and extracts. It gently moisturizes and revitalizes hair fibre. Spray the lightweight formula on wet hair, with a little extra on the very ends. Pesky knots quickly disappear and styling becomes magically easy. It’s also the perfect product to prepare your hair for heat. It has a beautifully delicate scent and it instantly makes your hair feel softer and shinier.

The name pleasantly deceiving as it doesn’t have an oily texture, but it’s not quite a lotion either. It is a refreshingly light product that will leave your hair gorgeously revitalised and silky smooth. The great news is that it’s so light you can use it daily!

If you want to be the envy of all your friends, Phyto products can be found in Space NK and online here for £26.50.

Elements - Skincare Range

Every man in this day in age needs a beauty skincare regime, so when I received Elements Skincare's range here at The Amazing Blog I didn’t hesitate to use each and every one of the products.

I began my beauty regime first thing in the morning with the face scrub, which is chemical free and is not too perfumed as I personally prefer. The scrub deeply exfoliated my skin. I could genuinely see and feel the difference in my face. It felt and looked smooth and clear.

Next, I decided to use the shaving cream which surprisingly didn’t sting at all after using the scrub. I usually use a foam product for shaving, but I must say this product has converted me. Plus, for an added bonus, all of the products are cruelty free and approved by the vegetarian society.

Next up in my routine was the Elements Face Wash which restores and hydrates skin improving skin fatigue and dryness.

Last, but certainly not least, was the Elements Moisturiser which is approved by the Soil Association. This product helps to boost the skin’s moisture barrier to get rid of dry skin for good. This product also has medicinal values and can act as an anti-inflammatory, so it is great for people with acne and those who need help reducing fine lines. This product will protect your skin without making it look shiny or oily.

Prices for products in this line start at just £18.00 and you can buy them here. The Elements skincare range would also make a great present for you father, brother or friends as it suits all skin types.
