Organique - Endorphin Serum and Rejuvenating Serum

Here at The Amazing Blog, we often find ourselves in need of an energy boost midweek. When our skin needs a little rejuvenating, we reach for Organique’s Rejuvenating Cranberry Serum and Chocolate Endorphin Serum. These two products are just the treat our skin needs to get us through a long week.

If you need a bit of relaxation to regain your energy, the Chocolate Endorphin Serum is the perfect solution. Using a complex called Stimu-Tex®, the Serum improves microcirculation and restores the skin’s lipid barrier. A little goes a long way, and the serum absorbs easily into the skin. After a few minutes, the serum left our skin feeling smooth and soft. Plus, who doesn’t love the smell of chocolate? It is hard not to feel relaxed with the smell of cocoa coming from nourished skin.

For a little rejuvenation after relaxation, the Rejuvenating Cranberry Serum is the way to go. This serum uses the ABI Complex to stimulate collagen production and protect skin cells from damage. It also comes with a dose Vitamin C to stimulate skin healing and leave you feeling energised. The Vitamin E in the serum also works for anti-ageing and leaves the skin feeling tightened and strong.

If you feel your skin needs a bit of a boost to make it through the week, Organique’s Chocolate Endorphin Serum is available here and Cranberry Rejuvenating Serum can be bought here for £17.50 each.

ZV2 - Day and Night Serums

Here at The Amazing Blog, as the only man in the office I am often nagged at to take care of myself better. Skincare doesn't tend to be at the top of my list, an attitude that I'm sure is shared by most men. However, I was pleasantly surprised when we received the ZV2 Spray on Serums.

ZV2 have created two advanced serums for both Day and Night, each contain a dose of high powered ingredients. They compact all of this into an ultra-fine mist spritz that simply melts into the skin. Quick and Easy! The perfect product to ease me into somewhat of a skincare regime. 

The ingredient list has a plethora of goodies and vitamins, carefully selected for their intensive action on the skin. The serums use Sensfeel technology, an active ingredient designed to stimulate the male pheromones, increasing his manly attractiveness via a totally natural process – I’m sold! 

ZV2 Day serum additionally provides broad-band AV protection from sun damage and other optimum performance ingredients, whereas ZV2 Night provides lasting nourishment and hydration, as well as fixing the imbalances caused by external factors during the day. After a few weeks of using this, I will admit the ladies were right on this one. I've noticed a big improvement in the look and feel of my skin, no dry patches in sight.  

ZV2 serums retail at £52 each, start taking care of your skin and order yours here. You won't regret it.

Soigne Nails - Barbe A Papa Range

Bright colours are perfect for this time of year. Whether you’re on the beach, or strutting around the city, we’re firm believers in making a statement with our bold beauty choices. The girls at The Amazing Blog are big fans of Soigne polishes, and their Barbe a Papa range of summer colours are perfectly in keeping with our bold and beautiful ethos.

With a large range of luxurious colours in their core collection, the French brand has introduced three new shades for summer 2015. Of the trio, we were excited to try the Framboise Bleue shade. A tropical greeny blue, the hue would look wonderful on an island getaway – what better to coordinate with than the crystal ocean waters? As we’re not currently on a tropical island escape, we’ve had to settle for jazzing up our typing hands in the office. Still, the shade adds a wonderful pop of colour, and looks fabulous with the light, cream clothes that we often sport at work.

Paired with their Oxygen Base Coat and Gel Effect Top Coat, we were left with fabulously glossy nails that looked professional even after our shoddy paint job. Housed in the ultimate opulent packaging, the indulgent polishes are free from carcinogens, as well as containing 85% plant-sourced raw ingredients.  Chic and environmentally friendly, we can’t think of anything more we’d want from a manicure.

Add some Parisian sophistication to your manicure with the Soigne summer collection. Pick up the beautiful Framboise Bleue shade here for £11, as well as the Oxygen Base and Gel Effect Top Coat here for £13 each. 

Skinshop - Conceal & Shield Pen

As all acne sufferers know, finding a concealer that both blends well and doesn’t clog our pores and make our acne worse is next to impossible. When a product comes along that can both cover blemishes and heal them, it’s hard to contain the excitement that ensues. We here at The Amazing Blog have found that magical combination in Skinshop’s new Conceal & Shield Pen.

This concealer uses Teflose®, a natural new ingredient that creates a thin coating over your skin to prevent bacteria from getting in and reduce inflammation. So not only will this product keep your acne from being seen, it will actively heal while you wear it. Conceal & Shield also contains prebiotics that work to heal acne from the inside out by saturating pores with good bacteria. Skin probiotic Biolin® works to heal the skin barrier and fight off any remaining acne bacteria, so the more you use this concealer, the better your skin feels.

Even with the teflon-like coating, Conceal & Shield doesn’t feel heavy on the skin and blends naturally. It has a fine brush applicator built in for easy use and comes in four shades so that acne sufferers of most skin tones can reap the benefits of this unique product.

If you suffer from acne and are in search of the elusive concealer that can both heal and cover, look no further than Skinshop’s website here, where Conceal & Shield can be bought for only £11.95.
