Carrot Discovery Kit - Docteur Renaud

Here at The Amazing Blog, we love trying out new skincare products. What we don’t love, however, is paying full price for things that we aren’t sure about yet. Thankfully, brands like Docteur Renaud offer sample kits of some of their most popular products so we have the chance to try them out before purchasing full sizes.

We recently tried and fell in love with the Carrot Discovery Kit by Docteur Renaud, a range that includes the ultra-popular Carrot Scrub Detox, the Carrot Radiance Boost Day Cream, and the Carrot Renewing Night Cream. The kit contains a 20ml tube of the scrub, which is enough to 2-3 months if you’re using it twice a week. This scrub is delightfully creamy with small orange granules that are just abrasive enough to remove toxins and refine skin texture. This kit also contains 5ml tubes of day cream and night cream. Both creams are nourishing and moisturising without being greasy, and they leave being a soft, sweet scent. The night cream in particular is perfect for doubling up at an overnight mask for extra dry areas—just use an extra thick layer and rinse off in the morning! These 5ml tubes contain enough cream to use once a day for 1-2 weeks, which is great for fully testing this range. All three products feature carrot—an ingredient that adds radiance and a healthy glow to the complexion. It also naturally possesses the ability to protect the skin from free radicals.

The Docteur Renaud Carrot Discovery Kit is priced at £9, and is available from Skin Evolution here.

Vitamin A C E Hydra-Serum - Beaut-Boutique

We find that lately there’s been a huge demand for skincare products that can safely restore our skin’s youthful glow. Here at The Amazing Blog, we’ve found a new anti-aging product that we love. The just-released Vitamin A C E Hydra-Serum from Beaut-Boutique combines the best of ingredients to give us remarkable results.

The serum is formulated with a mixture of natural ingredients including organic aloe leaf juice, organic apple extract, and Vitamin E oil. These potent ingredients all work together to plump, illuminate and hydrate the skin. The serum itself has a silky lightweight finish and smells fruity and delicious.

If you’re struggling with ageing skin, we really recommend you to try out the Vitamin A C E Hydra-Serum. It’s available here for £35.

Bee Venom Treatment Cream - Lacrème Beauté

Here at The Amazing Blog we’re always looking for new ways to turn back the clock. With all the new advances in skincare technology it is quite easy to keep our skin looking young. However, what we don't need is more synthetic and unnatural products for this purpose. Victoria Galbraith and Marc Scialom saw that there was a need for luxury organic skincare products and created Lacrème Beauté in 2011. Recently, we were given the opportunity to try out one of their most popular products, the Bee Venom Treatment Cream, and we absolutely loved it.

Bee venom is known for its ability to act as a natural Botox. When the venom is absorbed into the epidermis of the skin, collagen and blood flow are dramatically increased creating a noticeable tightening and lifting look on the skin which helps reducing facial lines. The ingredient is sourced from a small apiary in Kenya and blended with Tamanu oil which promotes cell regeneration. This specialised formula is incredibly hydrating and produces astonishing results on mature skin.

This cult-favorite miracle-worker product is available for £125 on Lacrème Beauté website here.
