Man Organic

Here at The Amazing Blog, the girls are constantly browsing for new beauty products online. With loads of websites to choose from, catering to their specific needs, I often feel left out. I don’t really need to tell you that men have very little choice in comparison when shopping online. With this in mind, I thought I would take a different approach to my usual product based posts, and introduce you to my new favourite male grooming site, Man Organic. 

Often having to actively hunt out organic products when it comes to skincare, shopping for male grooming products was becoming quite the hassle. So you can imagine my delight when this exclusively organic site crossed my path. With a plethora of organic brands to choose from, from Yes To to Green People, I was truly in skincare heaven when browsing through their collection. To be totally honest, it really opened my eyes to just how many organic products there are on the market specifically for men. It’s great to finally have somewhere to visit where I can easily find what I’m looking for, instead of raking the aisles and reading the small print in order to treat my skin.

Now that it’s so much simpler to go green, treat your skin to some wonderful new products at Man Organic.

Divine Herbal - Hair Repair Treatment

As much as we love our jobs here at The Amazing Blog, there are times, as in any line of work, where stress gets the best of us. Short of pulling out our own hair, we often find that our locks suffer the effects as much as we do. For this reason, we were so pleased to discover Divine Herbal’s Hair Repair Treatment, which made our hair feel thicker, softer and lusher in no time at all.

Packed with rich, antioxidant oils like Avocado Oil, Raspberry Seed Oil and Olive Oil, this is the perfect treatment for maintaining silky smooth tresses. Just a few drops from the glass bottle are enough to soften the hair and help repair the damage done by heat styling. Guilty of this, we were keen to put the oil to the test. A pipette of the elixir smoothed onto the hair and washed out after a couple of hours gave a deep conditioning treatment that most salons would be envious of. With no artificial ingredients or silicons, it provides a wonderful boost of nutrients and moisture to your hair, leaving it looking healthy, soft, and a lot more manageable after a stressful week!

Treat your hair to a boost of natural beauty with Divine Herbal’s Hair Repair Treatment. Grab the treatment here  for £20.99.

Clayspray - White Clay and Lavender Clayspray and Red Clay Claytherapy

Here at The Amazing Blog we love to use natural products for skin. When we received the White Clay and Lavender and the Red Clay Clayspray we couldn’t wait to try it.  It contains only pure ingredients, including clay, spring water, hydrogels and selected plant extracts.

The White Clay and Lavender Clayspray is a treatment ideal for purifying all types of skin and stimulating blood circulation. You can use it to soften your hands and arms, to deodorize your feet, relieve heavy legs and it has a lovely soothing lavender scent. It's the perfect way to relax your body and your mind after a long, stressful day in the office.

The Red Clay treatment is a specific face treatment to absorb impurities and sebum. This mask leaves your face looking good and your skin smooth and fresh. After using it for only two weeks my skin looked brighter and magnificently soft.

The clay is rich in minerals, ideal for its cosmetic and therapeutic properties: it purifies and removes impurities and toxins without affecting the skin's natural barrier. Clayspray uses different types of clay to respond to the needs of each skin type. The addition of a hydrogel ensures freshness and provides needed hydration for the skin. The Claysprays also come in clever container which only allows the amount you need to come out when you press it.

You can get the White Clay and Lavender Clayspray and the Red Clay Claytherapy here for £25 each.

Louise Young - Brushes

Here at The Amazing Blog, I’m sure that you are aware by now that we are self-confessed make-up mavens. A good eyeshadow or lipstick arriving in the office will make our day. That being said, we know that a great make-up artist is only as good as their tools.  So we were excited to trial the Louise Young Cosmetics brushes that landed on our doorstep, hoping that they would help us on our way to perfect make-up application.

We were lucky enough to receive a number of wonderful brushes from the collection, all of which we took great pleasure in using. Among our new stash was the LY48 Mini Super Foundation Brush. I’ve long been BeautyBlender convert, as I feel that it provides a more seamless application, but brush was super indeed, perfect for distributing my base, which I then proceeded to blend in with my fingers. I was also lucky enough to try out the LY37 and LY13 Mini Socket Brush. The former is labeled a Brow Brush, but I found that it was ideal for gel eyeliner, helping me to finally master that tricky feline flick. The latter was amazing for creating a smudged out look around the lash line. My smoky eye has never looked so great! What’s more, all of the Louise Young brushes are the creation of Louse Young herself, a highly acclaimed make-up artist, so you know you’re be getting great quality.

Apply your make-up with the skill of a professional, thanks to Louise Young Cosmetics. You can purchase the collection here, with prices ranging from £6 to £36. My favourites, the LY48 and LY37 retail for £19 and £9 respectively.
