Travel Set - Friday Favourites

Finally, it’s the summer holiday! We have waited the whole year for this moment. Yet, here at the Amazing Blog, summer doesn’t mean it is time for us to slack off. That’s why we have compiled a special collection of products for you that we think are absolute essentials for your summer holiday.

We know that at the beginning of summer all anyone can think about is getting that perfect tan but your skin has yet to see the sun. For that reason, we were really excited to discover Marc Inbane’s glamorous Travel Set, which includes a luxury hand-made clutch, a natural tanning spray of 50ml, and a kabuki brush. The brush is included to make the application process of the spray tan easier, especially when applying it to the contours of your face.

For your convenience, the tanning spray is fast-drying and leaves no marks or streaks. It is also safe to use frequently so that you can maintain your golden skin for however long you please. Another great trait is that it is enriched with nourishing vegetable-based ingredients, such as, Aloë Vera and Ginkgo. However, the highlight of this travel set is the astounding brush, designed by a team of leading professional make-up artists, that everyone passionate about beauty needs to own. It is suitable for all skin types, does not lose its bristles, and is multifunctional i.e. you can apply foundation with it too. Look bikini ready before you’ve even been in one with this tanning travel set for £32.50 here.

Who wants to pay for overweight-luggage? No one! Take some weight off your luggage by travelling with the ‘Holiday in Greece’ travel set from Korres, which is suitable for cabin luggage too. The set includes two unique shower gels, one with a Basil Lemon scent, and the other Guava Guayaba. These gels have a long-lasting moisturising affect, as they contain wheat proteins that create a defensive film on the skin. 

There is also two moisturising body milks with the same scents that are enriched with vitamins and skin energy boosting agents. Finally, to top it all off there is one gentle, Aloë and Ditanny, shampoo for normal hair that is suitable for everyday use.

Try the ‘Holiday in Greece’ set here for £19.

After you’ve applied your fresh new tan, you cannot just neglect the part of you that everybody can always see: Your hands! Thankfully, we came across the Lily of the Valley manicure collection from Heathcote & Ivory that comes with a full-sized hand cream, cuticle cream, and a nail file. Not to mention the cute keepsake tin that all the products come in. 

All the products included in this set have no artificial colours and are paraben free. With the crisp, sweet pea-citrus scent inspired by romance, this manicure collection has a seamless summery smell perfect for when you are on holiday.

Collmar Marine Collagen Beauty and Beauty Cream – Drasanvi

Here at The Amazing Blog, we come across a lot of products that can be applied topically to aid in maintaining skin health and help to maintain a younger complexion. However, we have recently come across Drasanvi who offer a range that includes both an anti-ageing cream and a supplement to deliver the full benefits of marine collagen and more from the inside and out!

The Collmar Beauty Cream is a gentle day and night cream that promises to improve the look and feel of ageing skin. This cream has a very subtle fresh scent making it suitable to be unisex, the main ingredient is well-known for helping decrease the sign of ageing naturally, this is called hydrolysed marine collagen. Collagen has been demonstrated in studies that it is well absorbed by the skin and can successfully increase our own levels that decline as we age, and by using this it will benefit our collagen level.  The Collmar Beauty Cream has multiple elements within the cream that are important to our skin and body, it also contains vitamin c which is another boosting nutrient that helps with our skin, and is also a fundamental element of building block of collagen and by using this you are helping the body to create more of its own collagen.

Other significant ingredients that are included in the cream are hyaluronic acid, which helps keep your skin plump, and primrose oil that contains omega 6 and omega 3 this helps to keep your skin looking glowing and healthy.  However, one more important ingredient here that helps preventing ageing is the delicious fruit pomegranate, it contains high levels of anti-oxidants this vital to help decrease the ageing process. All these useful ingredients aim to help tackle and plump up all of the stubborn unwanted wrinkles. Something that everyone over 35 needs as we all want to age gracefully! More importantly for us, Collmar is a natural product that doesn’t have any harsh chemicals.  They recommend you apply this product using a gentle massage technique on the face, neck and décolletage to achieve the best results.

Whilst using the cream we suggest for further benefits to your beauty regime by using it in tandem with the Collmar Marine Collagen. This is a supplement that comes in powder form, which should be taken daily for a minimum of three months to achieve a beneficial result.  You simply take the supplement with a glass water or juice, whatever you may prefer. Not only does the supplement have the ingredients we have spoken about before, but it also includes other nutrients that boost your health, joint mobility and well being; this includes the starflower oil which helps with the brain and skin function. Along with this, there is beetroot that is known to help purify and reduce the blood of unwanted toxins that contributes to ageing. Also not forgetting the biotin which is another important ingredient that helps look after our appearance, it’s also known as a vitamin B7, helping with your skin and nails and also making sure your hair is looking gorgeous by ensuring it is healthy and thick. We also like the fact that the range is not tested on animals and is paraben free.

As mentioned earlier, we at The Amazing Blog are firm believers in looking after your body from the inside out, and for us this Collmar range is just the perfect beauty regime for faster results, we suggest using together the Collmar Marine Collagen at £26.75 here, and Collmar Beauty Cream at £24.75 here both available now on Amazon, and coming soon on the UK Stores.
