Hair, Nail & Cutlicle and Foot Masques by 7th Heaven

If you fancy a quick salon-like experience, look no further than the range of body and hair masques by 7th Heaven. We at The Amazing Blog are big fans of an at-home pamper session, and these affordable yet luxurious masques are ideal. Even better, the masques are all vegan and cruelty-free.

Give your tresses a moisture boost, with the Hair Masques infused with nutritious ingredients including papaya, coconut oil, argan oil and honey. The masques are packed with natural nutrients, to nourish hair, treat dry tips and support follicle growth. You will be left with shinier, healthier locks.  Although perhaps a trivial matter of concern, finger nails also require strengthening and nourishment. For which, 7th Heaven's Strengthen Nail & Cuticle Finger Masque provide conditioning and protection with argan and macadamia oils and pomegranate. These are especially great for strengthening and nourishing your nails in between nail polish wears. For an all over hand treatment, the Softening Glove Masques deliver grounded shea nuts and pressed soybeans, bidding adieu to dry, chapped and rough hands.

You can't forget the feet, as they really do take the brunt of the work. If you're always on your feet, out and about, the heels can get cracked and dry. 7th Heaven's foot range includes the Smooth Heels Masque, made from natural sweet almond oil and shea butter, to deeply moisturise, smooth and soften those heels. To further pamper those feet, pop on a pair of Soften Sock Masques. In addition to almond oil and shea butter, the sock masques contain soybean to further rehydrate the feet.

Purchase 7th Heaven masques in stores such as Boots, Wilko and Claire's, or online from their official Amazon page from £1

Active Dew Face Cream by Nakin

Beauty goals are a big part of our life at The Amazing Blog, and radiant skin is at the top of all of our lists. We are somewhat experts on products that claim to restore a youthful glow or promise to have you looking like a Hollywood star in no time, so trust us when we say that the Active Dew Face Cream from the natural beauty brand Nakin is the miracle you have been hoping for.

Nakin is a UK based anti-ageing skincare brand founded by Cris Beetham. Using her expertise in anti-ageing and natural products, she created a skincare brand that aims to enhance skin and improve skin appearance. Nakin has carefully selected naturally beneficial ingredients to create a highly advanced and effective face cream formulated for normal, dry and sensitive skin. Ingredients such as pomegranate extracts, hyaluronic acid, baobab oil, olive oil and argan kernel oil, work to hydrate skin and give it a radiant glow. Infused with Hyaluronic acid, the cream restores skin elasticity and structure and gives skin a youthful appearance by smoothing away signs of ageing. The ingredients extract dirt from pores, remove dead skin and brighten skin, all working toward a brighter and clearer complexion.

What is more, Nakin's miracle day cream helps to strengthen skin while defending it from external damage. Enriched with argan oil and olive oil the anti-ageing cream deeply nourishes skin leaving it soft and supple. After application skin looks instantly radiant and replenished. We are totally addicted to the wonderful fresh smell that it leaves on the skin. We must admit that we love the cream’s sophisticated packaging that adds an elegant touch to the bathroom.

All Nakin products are formulated and made in the UK. The face cream is free from parabens, SLS, artificial fragrance and colours, and is cruelty-free.

Super Matte Mattifying Mist by Lock Stock and Barrel

A wind-swept mane tussled by nature is more than just a gorgeous set of locks; it’s a way of life. Well maybe not a way of life, but it certainly reflects one as it gives off that desirable relaxed summer vibe. So we at The Amazing Blog thought it seemed wholly unfair that the majority of hair products that promise those wondrous beachy waves are directed only at women. Regardless of gender, everyone deserves to feel like a Californian God. Luckily though, we discovered Lock, Stock and Barrel and their unbelievably brilliant Super Matte Mattifying Spray which, we honestly believe, would give Chris Hemsworth, Thor himself, a run for his money. 

The liquid to powder formula results in The Super Matte Mattifying Spray giving an amped, beachy, matte texture that would be hard to achieve otherwise. The fast drying combination of natural sea minerals and silica gives hair an unparalleled matte finish, with a light and lifted hold. On top of all this, the spray has an almost addictive citrus and woody scent accompanying its enviable results.  To use this product, simply shake well and spray directly onto towel dried hair or into palms and comb through with fingers, before blow drying. 

Unfortunately, the brand's website is having a makeover, but you can purchase the spray here for £8.76, and have that post surf wave and texture you’ve always wanted! 

Friday Favourites LAPADA Arts and Antiques Fair- 2017

The annual LAPADA Art & Antiques Fair is the leading showcase for art and antiquities on an international level and has grown to become one of the most prestigious events in the London social calendar. The Amazing Blog has been a huge fan of the fair since its inception in 2009, as it brings 100 exhibitors together to present work from across the art, antiques, design, and decorative arts spectrum. The authenticity of all these exhibitors is assured by the 70-member specialist committee who approve each item before the show begin. 

We love the variety of what is featured at the fair, from ornate furniture, to delicate jewels, to eye-catching pieces of art, the fair has it all. It is an entirely unique London event that brings together a vast collection of sought-after pieces that are bound to appeal to all; whether you are a first-time buyer or a collector, or a hoarder of the finer things. With prices varying from an affordable £500 to a more eyebrow raising £500,000 the fair is filled with goodies certain to please you and have a place in your home. 

LAPADA will be held at Berkeley Square between the 15th and 20th of September. A ticket will cost you £20 for entry during between the 15th and 20th, whereas a collectors ticket will get you in the day before and only costs £65.00.

Exotic Millet Body Polish - Naturally Tribal

 

While Summer seems to be slipping through our fingers and we begin to enter September, all of us at The Amazing Blog are desperately trying to maintain that Summer glow we worked so hard to achieve! Dry and dull skin has the evil power to leave you feeling insecure and unattractive. So we were naturally thrilled when we got our hands on Naturally Tribal's superbly hydrating Exotic Millet Body Scrub.

This product is perfect for firming and repairing damaged and dehydrated skin. The shea butter in the product acts as a moisturising base that protects skin from UV light, acts as an anti-inflammatory and manages blemishes such as acne, wrinkles, sunburn, and eczema. Meanwhile, the millet serves as an effective exfoliant to remove dead skin helping to brighten and refresh dull complexions. Millets, both whole, and ground, contain amino acids which help your skin maintain its elasticity.

Made with 100% natural ingredients this product will leave your skin looking brighter and feeling softer. You can purchase your own Body Polish here for £23.99
