BRYT Skincare - BRYT Skincare For Him

Being the only male in the office, the grooming products I receive are sadly, but not surprisingly, few and far between. I’m pleased to announce, however, that this has been my lucky week, as The Amazing Blog received a range of mens beauty treats, courtesy of BRYT Skincare.  With a range of skincare for him, from cleanser to moisturiser, I couldn’t wait to go home and get cleansing.

Of the four products that BRYT Skincare kindly sent over; the Boys Foaming Cleanser, Boys Wash, Boys Moisturise and Boys Shave, I was most excited by the Boys Wash. A gentle lathering gel, the first thing that caught me was the smell. The minty scent provided a wonderful morning pick-me-up, and the fact that the product is a 'two in one' for both hair and body makes it ideal for those speedy morning showers when I’ve slept in for a bit too long. Despite being a foaming wash, the product wasn’t drying at all. A combination of amino acids and essential oils from apple, mandarin, lime and orange help to nourish hair and keep skin soft and supple, making it the perfect product to stash in the shower. I was also really impressed with the Boys Shave. Using a Far Eastern approach to shaving, essential oils soften the hair, making it easier and more comfortable to shave, and eradicating awful shaving burn. The soothing formula also includes essence of bergamot, known for its anti-acne properties, which will definitely offer me a helping hand on my bad skin days.

We all know that men are a little more relaxed in their approach to beauty regimes, but BRYT Skincare have put a little excitement back into my skincare routine. With an easy, fuss-free system, and multi-purpose products that simplify the skincare process, my skin will definitely thank me for discovering the BRYT way. Head over to the BRYT Skincare website to grab the Hair and Body Wash For Him for £13.99 here, the Foaming Cleanser For Him for £12.50 here, the Moisturiser For Him for £16.00 here, as well as the Shave for Him here for £15.00.

Pure Lochside - Capsule Collection

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

Baylis & Harding - Great Body Range

Here at The Amazing Blog we love new and exciting skincare products, so when Baylis & Harding sent us their new Great Body range, we couldn't wait to try it out!

Baylis & Harding’s new 5 step Great Body products encompass all the steps of the shower routine, to leave you smooth, silky and smelling amazing! A different look for Baylis & Harding, the 5 step products show they really do mean business, and don't just smell gorgeous. The first step is the Great Body in-shower Body Polish with coconut oil, geranium and vitamin B. Simply scrub all over to remove any dead cells and other impurities whilst brightening and scenting the skin. Secondly, the Body Wash with glycerin acts as an ultra moisturiser for the skin, locking in moisture and keeping skin smooth. The elderflower and meadowsweet extracts give the product a sweet, summery smell which I found lingered for hours. The third step is the Body Lotion, which has the exciting new Tego Smooth 48 hr moisturiser, which contains active ingredients which when coupled with the amino acids, ensures maximum moisture retention, leaving skin unbelievably soft. The penultimate step in the process is the Firming Cream which uses a blend of herbal actives from India to firm and sculpt the skin. Now we're nearly there! Finally, the Body Mist adds the finishing touch to the process. It contains elderflower to soothe and meadowsweet just like the second step which ties all the steps together whilst cooling the skin, leaving you feeling cleansed, soft and delicious!

All together, it may seem like a long process, but once a week, on a Sunday night for example, it will leave you feeling silky smooth and refreshed for the coming week! I received many compliments on the smell that the products left, priced at only £6 each, it’s a small price to pay, so treat yourself. All the Baylis & Hardings products featured above  are available through the Amazon website here.

Oriflame - Ecollogen Foaming Gel Wash & Skin Perfecting Toner

If paradise had a smell, it would most certainly be Oriflame Ecollagen Foaming Gel Wash and Skin Perfecting Toner. As soon as us girls at The Amazing Blog opened the bottles, it was almost a scuffle! With a light, yet stimulating floral scent, we could not wait to wash our faces with the foaming gel wash and use the skin perfecting toner.

After fighting our way to the loo, good naturedly of course, we were able to try out these great products. The foaming gel wash comes out of the conveniently locking pump in a clear gel and foams up well for the face. When washed off, it leaves your face feeling smooth and refreshed. The toner goes on with a cotton pad and leaves the face feeling further refreshed and soft as feathers. One of the greatest things about this toner was that it did not leave the face feeling dry at all. This is a well balanced skin care duo and the scent alone makes the line worth checking out.

The website for Oriflame offers many different products, but the Ecollagen line specifically can be found here. Both beauty products run for £14.95. Purchase the foaming gel wash here and the skin perfecting toner here.
