Mineral Face Shield – Repêchage

Our skin faces a lot each day – pollution, the weather, air-conditioning… In the short term it can result in redness, spots and dullness. However, there are ways in which we can protect our skin from these aggressors. It’s the reason why we, at The Amazing Blog, were really excited when we discovered the Mineral Face Shield from Repêchage.

This mineral face cream offers an environmental protection to your skin thanks to two antioxidant-rich seaweeds and zinc oxide, while calming the skin at the same time. With the summer finally here, the Mineral Face Shield is perfect as the zinc oxide helps to prevent sweating and absorbs facial oils. In addition, it will smooth your skin and reduce the appearance of lines and imperfections leaving a matte finish. Besides, this mineral face shield will also protect your skin from the sun as it has SPF 30.

What’s not to like? We are already addicted to this Mineral Face Shield that you can use either alone, over any of your daily skincare products or even as a primer under your make-up making it last all day.

Liquid Eyeliners - Eye Of Horus

Here at The Amazing Blog we are in love with Eye of Horus and their makeup products. We have already tried their whole range of eye-makeup essentials including: mascara, liquid eyeliners, eye pencils, eye shadows and brow define pencils; and we have been obsessed with them since then. No wonder we got so excited when we received their new Liquid Metal Eyeliners. It means it is time to have fun with our makeup looks and bring out our inner goddess again.

Eye of Horus is an illuminating cosmetic brand with a variety of eye-makeup products. The brand has a mystical imagery and a unique design together with a natural formulation based on the very ingredients the Egyptians once used for the creation of their own makeup. Their new Liquid Metal Eyeliners are vegan, paraben-free and rich in essential oils and natural waxes. You can find them in four precious metallic shades: pewter, copper, gold and bronze. They are highly pigmented and have a felt-tipped applicator that helps deliver this mineral pigment precisely and effortlessly. But what we like the most about them is that they are extremely long-lasting and smudge free. An entire day at the office and they looked as vivid as when we first put together our makeup look in the morning. As for the colours, we can't really decide which one is our favourite. You can use the copper and bronze shades for a more natural, daily look or take a risk and play with the silver and gold shades for a fun and flashy one.

Perfect for this summer season and the autumn to come, you can buy them here for £16.50 each. 

Self-Watering Single Potted Herb Keeper – Cole & Mason

Here at The Amazing Blog we are always looking for new and useful time-saving accessories. That is why we were intrigued when we discovered the Self-Watering Single Potted Herb Keeper from Cole & Mason.

The Self-Watering pot is a fuss-free kitchen tool that increases the life-span of your fresh herbs. How does it work? The concept is very simple; you just have to put your potted herbs in the white container over a hydro felt pad. This hydro felt pad allows the plant to absorb water through it as it is needed, as the pad is connected to a vessel that can be filled with water through the spout. Water will evaporate from the vessel at a slower rate as it is covered, meaning less time needed for you to spend watering your herbs.  It also looks lovely sitting on your kitchen benchtop, with grey and white to perfectly complement the green of your thriving herbs.
