Invisiblur Perfecting Shield – Murad

Here at The Amazing Blog, we’re always looking for the newest miracle working products. So after we heard the hype over Murad’s Invisiblur Perfecting Shield, we had to give it a try.

This brilliant multi-tasker serves as a sunblock with SPF 30 whilst delivering anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, hydrating, and anti-aging ingredients to boost the skin. It features Shitake Mushroom and Mucor Miehei Peptides that stimulate collagen production to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also acts as a mattifying primer under makeup blurs out imperfections.  What’s most amazing to us is the texture of this formulation—it’s got a gel consistency but a rich and creamy texture that glides across the skin. After application we can tell that our pores are less noticeable and our skin is silky soft to the touch. The effect it has is almost like we’ve been edited with a soft focus filter!

Cocoa Glow - Chocolate Sun

It’s clear that here at The Amazing Blog, we love our fake tanning products. We have featured more than our fair share of our favourites, but we’re always on the lookout for new products that are more natural and better for our bodies.

Cocoa Glow by Chocolate Sun is the very first all-natural organic fake tanning product. Fresh from Santa Monica, Los Angeles, Cocoa Sun contains a skin tinting agent called DHA that’s derived from beets. The all-natural glow develops five to seven hours after application and lasts seven to ten days. The ultra-moisturising formulation includes ingredients like aloe, coconut oil, shea butter, and sweet almond oil, blended with potent antioxidants from green tea and cocoa bean extracts. To use, first exfoliate the skin and then apply the deliciously cocoa-scented product in circular motions while avoiding tricky bits like knees and ankles. Just wash your hands afterwards to prevent sun tan hands, and you’ll be good to glow!

Gwen Stefani Brow Box – Urban Decay

Here at The Amazing Blog, we’re a little bit in love with Gwen Stefani’s fierce brows. Now you can get the same effect with the brow kit she curated—the Gwen Stefani Brow Box by Urban Decay! We were lucky enough to receive a sample to test out for you because we know how hard it can be to find brow products with the perfect shade and consistency.

First off, can we just talk about how beautiful the packaging is? The kit itself is housed in a metallic striped black and gold box with a pink and white polka-dot interior. The lid of the compact has metallic gold circles recessed behind a white panel and opens up into two separate layers. The upper layer houses two shades of brow powders that are the perfect ash-y tone for blondes and light brunettes. It also includes a clear wax to set your brows. The lower tier contains slots for two mini angled brow brushes and a mini gold tweezer (mini things are always the cutest). The compact also has two mirrors, and one is a magnifying mirror perfect for plucking last minute stray hairs.

If you’ve been struggling to find a cool-toned product that suits blonde brows, check out the Gwen Stefani Brow Box here for £19.50.

Bee Venom Treatment Cream - Lacrème Beauté

Here at The Amazing Blog we’re always looking for new ways to turn back the clock. With all the new advances in skincare technology it is quite easy to keep our skin looking young. However, what we don't need is more synthetic and unnatural products for this purpose. Victoria Galbraith and Marc Scialom saw that there was a need for luxury organic skincare products and created Lacrème Beauté in 2011. Recently, we were given the opportunity to try out one of their most popular products, the Bee Venom Treatment Creamand we absolutely loved it.

Bee venom is known for its ability to act as a natural Botox. When the venom is absorbed into the epidermis of the skin, collagen and blood flow are dramatically increased creating a noticeable tightening and lifting look on the skin which helps reducing facial lines. The ingredient is sourced from a small apiary in Kenya and blended with Tamanu oil which promotes cell regeneration. This specialised formula is incredibly hydrating and produces astonishing results on mature skin.

This cult-favorite miracle-worker product is available for £125 on Lacrème Beauté website here.
