Soothing Body Lotion – Urban Veda

Here at The Amazing Blog we love to nurture our skin with products that use ingredients in their most natural state. That is why we always get school-girl giddy when a new natural skin care product arrives at our door.

Urban Veda is developed upon ancient Ayurvedic principles, in which the treatment of skin is guided by the belief that each person belongs to one of three ‘doshas’. Each dosha presents different skin characteristics, so Urban Veda has formulated their products to target the skin troubles suffered by each skin type. As summer sets in we are thankful to have received the Soothing Body Lotion to help treat our dry, winter-trodden skin before we needed to begin donning our sandals and summer dresses.  With Sandalwood, Aloe Vera and Vitamin E, the body lotion also increases the skin’s suppleness, whilst rehydrating dryness and calming the mind and body.  

The perfect after bathing moisturiser, the Soothing Body Lotion will have you feeling calm and ready for a sound night’s sleep. Find this product for £14.99, alongside the complete Urban Veda range here.

Deep Repair Masque – Macadamia Natural Oil

At The Amazing Blog, a frequent complaint in the office is that of dry scalps and lifeless tresses. So it was with great pleasure that we received the Deep Repair Masque from Macadamia Natural Oil, the perfect fix for our hair troubles.

A moisture-rich hair treatment to care for all hair types, the Deep Repair Masque is designed to imitate the hair’s natural oils to nourish dry, coloured or unruly hair. This means women, whether they have thin, thick, straight, curly, coloured or treated hair, to experience their hair in its best condition! The mask conditions the hair with macadamia and argan oils, whilst enriching with aloe, algae extract and chamomile and tea tree oils. Just apply the product liberally to damp, clean hair and leave in for 7 minutes to make hair more voluminous, lustrous and easier to style and manage.

Treat your hair to some natural macadamia loving here from £3.75 for a 30mL single use sachet to £39.95 for a 500mL tub.

Boozy Berries – Pinkster Gin

At The Amazing Blog we can be a little bit cheeky at times. So, we love it when we come across products that entertain our sense of humour and are a little bit cheeky themselves. That is why we are so happy to present to you Pinkster Gin’s Boozy Berries, because who said you couldn’t have a tot of gin when you are getting your five a day?

These tipsy treasures are the heavenly result of making Pinkster Gin and offer a multitude of glorious uses; however we wouldn’t blame you if you decide to just eat them straight from the jar! Toppled over vanilla ice cream, dipped into dark, molten chocolate or stirred into puddings, these raspberries are destined to deliver.

Head over to Pinkster Gin’s website to order a jar for £6 and enjoy (not too) responsibly.
