Men's Styling Products by Neal and Wolf

The Amazing Blog is all about looking and feeling as good as you can and want to, and for us, the be all and end all of our beauty confidence comes from good hair. Hair lacking volume leaves us feeling flat, fly-away and unruly frizz makes us feel scattered, but hair that looks bold and beautiful leaves us feeling on top of the world. To achieve this confidence, we don’t leave the house without some Neal and Wolf Styling products in our locks. Today we want to tell you about the Style Shaping Cream and the Create Mattifying Paste products that they produce.

The Style Shaping Cream is specifically designed to give hair the definition it deserves. It’s a flexible cream that will leave your style looking natural, and while your look won’t blow away, it won’t act like a windbreaker either. Created by professional experts, the conditioning base keeps moisture locked in and adds an enviable shine.  If shiny hair isn’t your go-to look, then try their Create Mattifying Paste which gives a flexible and medium hold with a matte appearance. This is ideal for people looking for more texture and maybe a messier more bed head style. Create contains Kaolin, Shea Butter and Beeswax to create a workable paste, so don’t worry about darkening your hair if you are naturally lighter.

You can buy the Style Shaping Cream here for £12.95 and the Create Mattifying Paste here for £12.95

31st State Face, Hair and Body wash- For Men

31st State is the men's skincare and haircare brand that embodies the Californian way of grooming - effortless and easy. The Amazing Blog is intrigued by this approach, especially if it means a longer lie-in in the morning. 31st State uses only natural ingredients that are gentle on the skin, as men can have sensitive skin too!

31st State’s 2-in-1 Hair and Body is enriched with aqua based natural ingredients to help men look and feel well-groomed. The combination of silver and zinc actively controls body odour and bacteria that cause blemished skin. Silver is a natural disinfectant and anti-inflammatory, while zinc soothes the skin and combats odour.

The Foaming Face Wash is ideal for retaining pure and fresh skin. Tea tree and anti-bacterial Manuka work in-sync to get rid of excess oil. In addition, magnesium, copper and zinc help regulate excess sebum and prevent breakouts. This face wash harnesses natural ingredients to maintain unblemished, oil-free and hydrated skin throughout the day.

Purchase the 2-in-1 Hair & Body wash here for £9, and the Foaming Face Wash here for £13.

Friday Favourites - Father's Day Gifts

We here at The Amazing Blog think men should be pampered just as much as women are. Dads work hard and are definitely in need of some spoiling. See our top picks to make your dad feel special this Father's Day.

First on our list is the Body Wash and Eau de Toilette by Milano Cento. Inspired by aromatic plants of Italy, the Milano Cento Him range is bound to make your dad feel like a Don. The range is based on the classic sophistication of all things Italian, for a man wanting a somewhat unusual, unique and understated scent. The Him body wash and eau de toilette are formed from the same scent, which opens with zesty notes of lemon, bergamot and petitgrain. The middle notes are herbaceous, of lavender, intense basil, rosemary and sage, followed by base notes of rich, sensual sandalwood, patchouli, spicy cloves, cinnamon and warm amber. You will be left with an overall citrus and woody aroma, which is, in itself, a gift to yourself if you get to smell it on the regular.

If you thought candles were just for women, then think again. LEGNA London has created candles especially for men, with the philosophy that candles shouldn’t be marketed solely to women. By creating a non-obvious manly product, LEGNA dedicates their candles to anyone of any sex, to couples and to friends. They draw their inspiration from an array of cultures from around the world which celebrate manhood.

Hand poured in the UK, made of biodegradable, natural, blended wax. The ingredients are composed of non-petroleum renewable resources and therefore burn clean. There are three signature scents; Strength, Unity and Wisdom, made from classic masculine ingredients, such as musk, tobacco and leather. Strength gives off a delicate smoky and woody, yet sweet, aroma. Strength was created to celebrate the physical and spiritual strength of men. Unity is composed of comforting spicy ingredients with woody notes, designed to celebrate the brotherhood of man. Wisdom is comprised of musky leather notes, creating a warm and luxurious fragrance for people to relax around and share their experiences.

Having been featured in and receiving raving reviews from The Independent, GQ, Elle Man, Country & Town House, the lucky gentleman is sure to enjoy the aroma of these heady scents.

Bentley released their newest fragrance for men, Bentley Momentum, earlier this year. This bold eau de toilette was made for the discernible man who appreciates beautiful craftsmanship and quality. If your gentleman in mind is a fan of the finer things in life and wants his signature scent to meet the standards of Bentley cars, then you must give Momentum a sniff.

Momentum is a forceful composition that contrasts aromatic freshness with potent woods. The primary notes are a splash of aquatic aromas, closely followed by energising bergamot and cooling violet. Underneath this refreshing concoction is herbaceous and aromatic sage, adding a sensuous warmth and depth. The final notes are striking ambergris and cashmere wood. The dry-down of the scent reveals a deep blend of smooth sandalwood, dusky tonka bean and a lingering trail of sensuous musk and moss. This scent certainly gains momentum, all encapsulated in a sleek, geometric bottle.

Currently, Bentley Momentum eau de toilette can only be purchased exclusively at Harrods in-store, for £59 (50ml).
