nügg Intense Lip Boosting Mask

With summer firmly in sight, there are no more excuses for weather-induced chapped lips.  Here at The Amazing Blog, we've got the solution for those of you that suffer all year round from dry or flaky lips. Say hello to nügg with their stylish little pot of Intensive Lip Boosting Mask.

The Intensive Lip Boosting Mask is contained in an elegant golden spherical orb and accompanied with a reusable white linen beauty cloth. What we particularly like about this product, is that the lip mask is vegan, 100% natural and made with Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, and Licorice Root Complex. The product worked well as an intensive lip mask, helping to hydrate, soften and condition our lips, it also has a fresh minty flavour. We think this makes the perfect revitalising beauty product to take on holiday.  Our Exec Editor took this lip mask on a long haul trip and has hailed it as her new travel must-have.  After her long flight, she applied it for twenty minutes, before gently removing with the reusable linen beauty cloth. She was delighted with how quickly the mask took effect, rejuvenating and restoring the moisture waving goodbye to her dehydrated lips. The effect is long-lasting and this lip mask is surprisingly economical as a little goes a long way.  You can purchase this stylish 7g pot of nügg's Intensive Lip Boosting Mask here for £10.00.

Lipstick - Uslu Airlines

With the sun out in full force today, all of us here at The Amazing Blog are in the holiday mood.Unfortunately fo us, holidays are a long way off, but that's not going to dampen anyone's mood as we are sampling Uslu Airlines fun airport-inspired lipstick line. Renowned makeup artist Ferdie Uslu founded the brand and adopted the airport motif after creating her first line around airbrush makeup techniques.  Working with air inspired the brand to name their products after airport codes, giving them a playful cosmopolitan feel, which perfectly reflects the brands exciting and distinctive image.

Each lipstick has a unique shade that embodies the destination they are named after. For example, the pink AMM lipstick is named after the AMM airport in Jordan, which was itself named after Queen Alia. Going into a work meeting with this elegant, reserved and natural pink shade on will make you feel like a queen too. Meanwhile, the dark-plum PAO lipstick mirrors Palo Alto, the edgy home of countless trendy tech companies. What we love about these lipsticks are the different looks you can achieve with them. Apply one layer for a tinted, subtle day look and add a few more layers for a richer, bolder evening look. The versatility means that you only have to carry one lipstick around with you, and if you're a lipstick addict like we are, this is a big plus.

What's more, Uslu Airlines’ lipstick line is cruelty-free and contains Vitamin E, which acts as a repairing oxidant meaning that as well as making your lips look gorgeous, it nourishes them too; this is a far cry from the often drying nature of other mainstream lipsticks. The company is based in Berlin, so, unfortunately, all the product prices are in Euro's, but fear not you can use PayPal to purchase these amazing lipsticks.  Prepare for take-off by choosing from Uslu Airlines’ lipstick line here from about £21.00. 

Lip Balm & Cleaning Wipes - Benecos

Here at The Amazing Blog, we know how important it is to keep our faces fresh and our lips moisturized, and that the best way to do this is to use natural products. So we were ecstatic when the brand Benecos sent us their Natural Care Happy Cleansing Wipes and their Natural Lip Balm.

It is important to cleanse your skin daily as after a long, hard, and tiresome day not only is our skin left looking dull and greasy, it is also covered in unwanted bacteria from pollution, our hands, and sweat. So having Beneco’s Happy Cleansing Wipes in your bag is the best way to cleanse on the go and throughout the day.The pleasant mix of mango, orange and aloe vera leaves your face feeling refreshed and clean. The cleansing wipes are gentle and soft but are sure to remove all makeup and bacteria on the face effectively. Don't worry if you have sensitive skin either; these wipes are pH-neutral and free of alcohol, oil derivatives, and fragrance. 

We found that the natural lip balm was the perfect solution to dry and cracked lips. The all-natural and fragrance-free balm soothes the lips using organic olive oil and organic cocoa butter. The balm comes in three different flavours: raspberry, orange, and mint.

You can purchase the cleaning wipes here for £3.46 and the natural lip balm here for £2.45.

Timeless Travel Pack - Timeless Truth Masks

Here at The Amazing Blog, we know how damaging travelling can be to your skin. No matter how good you may look when you leave, by the time you have reached your destination your skin is dull, dried-out and tired. Luckily, though, we have a solution. Timeless Truth Masks presents the Timeless Truth Travel Pack which will have your skin back to its beautiful self in no time at all.

The Travel Pack is cleverly designed for any travel needs, featuring an innovative 3-in-1 system. As the pack contains three compartments, you can either pick and choose what you think your skin might need, or follow all the steps; it is really up to you. 

The first section is an oil-based makeup remover, making it incredibly easy to take off any and all makeup on your face, lips and eye (and yes, that includes waterproof makeup.) It does this while deeply cleaning pores, so your skin once again feels light and fresh. The second compartment is a deep cleanser with exfoliating ingredients, all of which help to soften and lift the dead skin off the face, leaving your skin feeling radiant and soft.  Finally, you are ready for the final step: Timeless Truth’s “Hydra-Soothing Moisturising Bemliese Mask.” The silk fibre nourishing mask helps retain moisture in the face’s tissues due to the hyaluronic acid it contains.  Overall, this tiny little packet will help your skin feel normal and beautiful again, and won't take up any space in your bag. What more could you want?

If this sounds like the solutions to your tired skin and travelling woes you can purchase the pack here for £8.90.
