Here at The Amazing Blog we know how it feels to be faced with a particular beauty dilemma especially when pushed for space on packing for that weekend away. We've all experienced that heart-racing anxiety that sets in at the prospect of having to abandon our trusty skincare staples all due to lack of space. Well, we're very happy to report that premium Scottish brand, Pure Lochside has come up with a summer solution with their very handy Lochside Capsule Collection.

The Lochside Capsule Collection, contains 5 therapeutic, 100% plant oil infused products, that are perfect for that weekend away or a two day music festival. Not only does it contain some of Lochside’s best products but also a muslin cloth to help you to administer your regime efficiently and swiftly. Designed to be used on the go, but without a loss of quality, this regenerating, organic-rich collection will boost your skin and leave it nourished, luminous and glowing, regardless of where you’re holidaying. The kit contains the Organic Orange Cleansing Oil 15ml which is rich in vitamin E and removes all mascara and eye makeup, the Pure Face Serum 15ml, a regenerating serum designed to keep skin luminous and glowing. As well as the Orange and Echinacea Toner 3ml as a refreshing final step to hydrate the skin and impart an uplifting aroma (it can also be used as an aftershave for male travel companions).

Our favourite was the Organic Skin Refiner 3ml which exfoliates and doubles as a hydrating mask with Organic Scottish Oats for a natural, gentle scrub. For the extra sensitive skins, the Soothe Daily Face Oil 3ml is gentle yet rejuvenating, and uses Rose, and Neroli essential oils. It has Calendula, Chamomile and High Altitude Lavender, to soothe and nourish irritated skin, such the type that arises from heat exposure.

A the winner of many beauty awards, the Lochside Capsule Collection is perfect for travellers and revellers alike. Best of all you won’t have to worry about roughing it (at least when it comes to your skin) on trips away. The Capsule Collection can be purchased here for £48.50

At The Amazing Blog we don't tend to feature many fashion items, as our dear readers will already know, we tend to be more into our beauty, food and pet products. However, this one fashion item really stood out and we think it is a fab discovery.Bagllerina are an essential to every woman's wardrobe i.e. a good pair of ballerinas that come with a matching carry pouch. And to be more specific, at The Amazing Blog we're in love with these as they're luxurious, elegant and very comfortable Bagllerina are most definitely a timeless, practical and on-trend accessory.

"Bagllerina" is an amalgam of two words: ballerina and bag - they're beautifully finished and handmade in 100% soft nappa leather. Bagllerina are just the perfect accessory to throw into your bag for an evening out - if like me, you're anticipating tired feet from hobbling around all day/night long in your 8" heels. Not only do these pumps fold-up flat but they all come in a coordinating stylish leather pouch can be used as a purse/evening bag - very practical for carrying around your keys, phone and other make-up bits as well.

Bagllerina offers three outdoor styles in many different colours: "Gorgeous" a low-cut model, "Daily" with laces and "Liberty" without laces. They even offer "Cocoon" to be worn indoors and designed with a foam cushioned sole for optimal comfort. Bagllerina is practical, compact, feminine and high end. If you wish to splurge on quality footwear (we say 'cost per wear' is always a good barometer!) And if like us you totter around in heels all day then these are a must. We at The Amazing Blog we can't recommend Bagllerina enough. Our Executive Ed is now the proud owner of a black nappa pair and is now swanking around the office in them (not that we're jealous or anything grrrr....!)

You can purchase Bagllerina direct from their French website - the outdoor range retail at 129€ and the indoor at 69€. OR you can find a selection on Style-Passport for £110
