Shea Butter Body Conditioner – Peini

Peini is where science meets African cultural traditions. Peini is the result of a British skin care brand collaborating with a West African Farmer’s Cooperation. It is an organic and natural skin care range that focuses on incorporating naturally-occurring beauty enhancing ingredients into their beauty products. “PEINI” means gift in Dagbani, and we here at The Amazing Blog were very excited to receive the Shea Butter Body Conditioner.

This brand was created and introduced to the UK market by Sarah Nicholas-Kyei after many visits to her husband, Kwaku Kyei’s, homeland. Peini uses sustainable farming for their ingredients, hiring Ghanaian widows, orphans, women farmers to bring ancient skin care practices to the UK. The products are all toxic free, green and use naturally-sourced shea butter, coconut oil, olive oil, palm kernel oil, sunflower seed oil that are indigenous to Ghana. These nourishing ingredients deliver natural, edible vitamins E, A, F and K. The results are beautiful products that are Paraben-free, SLS-free and are cruelty-free, which means that these products can be used on even the most sensitive of skins, including newborn babies.

The Shea Butter Body Conditioner is rich and thick, providing you with a deep and long-lasting moisture. However, we are pleased to report that the skin is not left sticky and coated. The body conditioner is absorbed almost instantly, so after applying you can almost immediately get dressed and begin your day. The conditioner improves skin texture and tone, boosts collagen production and the abundance of vitamins recover and defend the skin.

You can purchase this wonderful body conditioner for £8.50 from the Peini website here, or from Amazon UK here and trust us, this a gift you won't regret buying for yourself. 

Skincare and Eyelid Correction Tape By WONDERSTRIPES

WONDERSTRIPES want to empower their customers and help them defy the laws of nature with their carefully curated anti-ageing secrets. We here at The Amazing Blog wanted in on these beauty secrets and we are here to let you in on them. Here's our tip: Target the entire face with the Hyaluron Moisturizing Booster Mask, the Instant Glow Hydrogel Eye Pads and the Facial Tonic & Stripes.

For an instant lifting effect and overall moisturising treatment, apply the Hyaluron Moisturizing Booster Mask on clean skin for 20 minutes. This mask is made of collagen and bio-cellulose, a natural fibre obtained during the fermentation of coconut water, which give you immediately revitalised and smoother skin. Hyaluron and aloe vera work wonders to deeply hydrate the skin, and are beneficial for all skin types. The under-eye area needs special attention, as it is particularly delicate and prone to wrinkles, which is where the Instant Glow Hydrogel Eye Pads come in. They deeply hydrate the under-eye area, reducing wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness for smoother skin, in only 15 minutes! The concoction of cornflower extract, D-Panthenol and hamamelis tighten and moisturise the skin, giving an instantly youthful appearance.

WONDERSTRIPES' wonder-product, however, is their WONDERSTRIPES, a beauty tape for upper eyelid correction. A favourite amongst celebrities, this current ‘wonder-weapon’ can trick Mother Nature to give you an instant eye lift and make you look younger in mere seconds. They last the whole day, are comfortable and light to wear with three sizes to choose from, and are easy to use. WONDERSTRIPES recommends using the Facial Tonic, only sold in a kit with the tape, prior to applying the tape, to clean and hydrate the skin and to make sure no greasy areas are left to loosen the gentle but firm adhesive.

All products are created under thorough dermatological testing, so it is scientific skincare you can trust, but is importantly cruelty-free. Purchase the Hyaluron Moisturizing Booster Mask for £52 for 5 here, the Instant Glow Hydrogel Eye Pads for £22 for a pack of 5 here, and the set of Facial Tonic & Stripes for £33 here.

Dairy Free Chocolates – Moo Free

While going dairy-free is somewhat of a fad at the moment, it is so for a reason. Of course, some people are lactose-intolerant, but for the rest of us, we can acknowledge when maybe certain ingredients don’t agree with us or we don’t agree with the ethics behind the production process. When we here at The Amazing Blog heard about Moo Free, the leading ‘free from’ chocolate manufacturer, and their vast range of dairy free chocolate products, our ears pricked up. We were able to try the Original Chocolate Bar, the Caramelised Hazelnut Nibs Bar and the Cheeky Orange Chocolate Bar.

The chocolate recipe recently won the award for ‘Best Vegan Chocolate’ at the VegFest Awards 2016, as voted for by the public, and we can certainly see why. After sampling this assortment of goodies, we can most definitely vouch that it tastes just like regular dairy chocolate. Moo Free uses rice milk in lieu of cow’s milk, creating that ever-familiar delicious milk chocolate taste. This spectacular chocolate is not only free from dairy, but it is also free from gluten, wheat, lactose, soya and casein, completely vegetarian and vegan, and certified organic with ethically sourced ingredients. Colour us impressed.

Moo Free chocolate comes in a huge array of flavours and forms. Their baking drops are ideal for some delicious dairy free muffins or cookies, and their chocolate bars come in a whole range of additional flavours including fruit and nut, crunchy banana, mint and honeycomb. Moo Free even has advent calendars, chocolate Santas and Easter eggs.

You can find Moo Free products across thousands of stores across the UK, such as Waitrose, Sainsbury’s and Asda. Find your nearest stockist here.
