Elements - Skincare Range

Every man in this day in age needs a beauty skincare regime, so when I received Elements Skincare's range here at The Amazing Blog I didn’t hesitate to use each and every one of the products.

I began my beauty regime first thing in the morning with the face scrub, which is chemical free and is not too perfumed as I personally prefer. The scrub deeply exfoliated my skin. I could genuinely see and feel the difference in my face. It felt and looked smooth and clear.

Next, I decided to use the shaving cream which surprisingly didn’t sting at all after using the scrub. I usually use a foam product for shaving, but I must say this product has converted me. Plus, for an added bonus, all of the products are cruelty free and approved by the vegetarian society.

Next up in my routine was the Elements Face Wash which restores and hydrates skin improving skin fatigue and dryness.

Last, but certainly not least, was the Elements Moisturiser which is approved by the Soil Association. This product helps to boost the skin’s moisture barrier to get rid of dry skin for good. This product also has medicinal values and can act as an anti-inflammatory, so it is great for people with acne and those who need help reducing fine lines. This product will protect your skin without making it look shiny or oily.

Prices for products in this line start at just £18.00 and you can buy them here. The Elements skincare range would also make a great present for you father, brother or friends as it suits all skin types. 

Tabitha James Kraan Hair Products

We here at the Amazing Blog  are obsessed with hair care products and treatments so when we received Tabitha James Kraan dry shampoo and hair oil we couldn’t get enough if it. Dry shampoo is a busy girl’s miracle product giving her time to get on with the day whilst creating plenty of volume.

Let’s face it ladies not all of us have the time to wash our hair every day, washing, drying and styling can often be an arduous process. So here is the answer to your prayers, Tabitha Dry Shampoo takes the grease from the roots whilst leaving your feeling silky smooth and not dry like the majority of dry shampoos. The great thing about this product is that it is not aerosol which can be toxic when inhaled and irritating to skin. This dry shampoo is a powder but it is NOT a white powder so it does not leave your hair looking grey or dull, you can put it directly onto your scalp and rub it in with your fingers. Some dry shampoos can leave feeling dirty and sticky however this will leave your hair soft and clean and smelling luxurious almost as if you have actually had a shower!

We also received hair oil which comprises of certified organic ingredients including sea buckthorn, argan oil, safflower, rosehip and goji berry, making it packed full of essential proteins, omegas and vitamins to keep your hair beautiful both inside and out.  The oil is an impressive 99.5% certified organic and 100% natural making it the most opulent oil your hair could dream of.

I put in my hair 30 minutes before I had a shower for a deep treatment. My hair is quite fine and the oil actually gave my hair volume and left it looking soft, smooth and silky, it’s well worth a try my hair felt stronger and more protected. 

We now addicted to these products and will be buying our dry shampoo here  for £28.95 and the hair oil here  for £38.00.

Dead Sea - Mineral Soaps

We here at The Amazing Blog believe that less truly is more, especially when it comes to skincare. Why load chemicals on your skin when you can use something that is nourishing and natural? Maliki Dead Sea Mineral Soaps understand how essential it can be to go back to basics, so their soaps will work wonders for you skin without having to use hundreds of products.

The products from this brand don’t leave your skin feeling tight or irritated after you use them, as they’re made from natural ingredients and are free from harsh chemicals and parabens that could cause a negative skin reaction. The bars of soap are affordable and can be used all over the body, rather than just on your face. If you suffer from eczema or psoriasis, you’ll find relief through the natural ingredients in these soaps.

 At the office, we tried the Black Mud Mask soap and the Sulphur soap. Both had a unique scent, since they’re made without perfume, but instead simply smelled clean and fresh. The lather was fair and our skin felt smooth after using, without any burning or irritation.

You can purchase both of the soaps at Boots for £3.75 each. 

Christmas Wish List for Our Lovely Men

With Christmas right around the corner, we at The Amazing Blog have been frantically trying to gather the perfect gifts for our loved ones. Needless to say, we have found shopping for the men in our lives particularly difficult. We’ve looked long and hard for products that men will both enjoy and actually use. Fortunately for us, we received samples from companies such as Marvling Bros, Ted Baker, Below The Belt and Luscombe. The stress of shopping for our men has finally come to an end.

Instead of the usual stocking stuffer, we decided to turn it up a notch by buying a gift with a manly kick. Marvling Bros World’s Hottest Chocolate Bars are the perfect fiery gift for men. Unlike most tasty treats, this chocolate bar presents them with a challenge rather than a chance to indulge in more Christmas chocolate. In other words, the chocolate is so hot that the company actually has to send safety instructions with it.

Paired with a bottle of the world champion hottest chilli powder, Carolina Reaper, together with two bars of extreme heat chilli chocolate, this little bar of dynamite, in a very clever mini matchbox, is sure to leave you begging for a glass (or gallon) of milk.

We feel this product is perfect for boys because, let’s face it, what man doesn’t love a challenge? World’s Hottest is available from the In-a-Matchbox website, priced at £5.99. For chilli lovers, Marvling Bros Ltd have also produced ‘Hot Stuff In A Matchbox’, four bottles of the hottest chilli powders in the world, priced at £5.99.

Looking for more than a stocking filler or gag gift? We’ve found the perfect package deal of essentials that will last long, put your shopping stress to rest and smack a smile on your man’s face. The Ted Baker Personal Best Wash Bag Gift Set includes an array of men’s grooming products, including a hair and body wash, body spray, and wrapped soap. If your man is always on the go, this is an ideal travel set - chic, affordable and actually effective. You can purchase this gift at your local Boots Store or at any Ted Baker location for £22.00. Browse the Ted Baker website to and take a look at this gift set or anything else your man desires.

We want the men in our lives to feel fresh and exude total confidence every day. Below the Belt Grooming has created skincare products that celebrate, cherish and protect all aspects of a man’s body, especially below the belt, leaving him confident and comfortable in his skin. For the athlete, check out the Sports Lubricant for £7.95. Whether your guy runs, plays golf or plays football, this product will prevent chafing or any unnecessary discomfort.

Do you ever feel like your boyfriend is just lazy and you are constantly nagging him to take a shower? Or, is your man just busy and always on the go? Buy them the Waterless Shower Groin Cleanser for £6.95; he doesn’t even have to take his trousers off to use it. He just has to rub it around the groin and crotch area before heading out and he’s all good to go.

For any man that just wants to make sure he stays fresh at all hours of the day, you can buy Fresh & Dry Balls for £6.95. All he has to do is apply it after a shower and he should smell clean all day long.

These products can only enhance the every day life for all the men out there. You can purchase the products here and even buy a trio of the products for £19.60. 

If your man has decided to go teetotal this Christmas, we've also discovered a delicious selection of soft drinks from Luscombe Organic Drinks. With flavours like Cranberry Crush and Wild Elderflower Bubbly to choose from, the bottled beverage company have a great variety to spice up your Christmas. Our favourite is Hot Ginger Beer; a spicy drink with a hint of lime, this leaves a slightly peppery feeling after you take a sip, perfect for keeping you toasty warm this Christmas. You can get a pack of 4 here for £5.99, as well as variety packs, if you can't quite decide.

Who needs Santa when the men in your life have you to shop for them?
