Leaf & Stem Scent-Free Body Collection by Green People

With spring just around the corner and winter finally behind us, it’s time to start indulging our bodies with some natural botanical products. At The Amazing Blog, we are excited to share one of our latest amazing finds from Green People: They have created a Modern Botanical range with five different gift sets. Today we are reviewing the Leaf and Stem Scent-Free Body Collection which includes a Shower Gel and Body Lotion. Green People have over 20 years' experience and are pioneers of the clean beauty movement. They are a natural and organic skincare brand that prides themselves on making high-quality products with the finest ingredients. As always, we at The Amazing Blog like to be first in the line to try out any natural products!

The Leaf and Stem Scent-Free Shower Gel and Body Lotion are both designed to suit sensitive skin and provide the body with the moisture it requires. In addition, both products are scent-free, which we really like, as one of our team members suffers from eczema.  An added bonus to these products is that they both come in 100ml tubes, making them the perfect size to pop into hand luggage. 

The Shower Gel is 83% organic and is made with a unique combination of botanical ingredients. The ingredients involved include aloe vera juice, marshmallow extract, yucca extract, and sea salt. It’s the mix of these ingredients that give the Shower Gel its hydrating, soothing and skin protecting properties. While the Shower Gel gently cleanses the body, the Body Lotion is formulated to provide sensitive and dry skin with extra hydration. The Body Lotion is 91% organic and is enriched with shea butter, sunflower oil, olive oil, perilla oil, jojoba oil as well as rosemary extract, chamomile extract and aloe vera juice. With all of these wonderful ingredients, this Body Lotion intensely moisturises skin and leaves it feeling soft and smooth. 

Both these two products offer the skin an ideal start and end to the day; and there is no better way to welcome in the spring, than pampering our bodies with these natural products. After using these products, our skin was left nourished, rejuvenated and satin smooth. The delicate light formula of the body lotion melted into our skin and was absorbed quickly. Added to all these benefits, the Shower Gel and Body Lotion are also suitable for children which makes them ideal for the family bathroom. We must also mention that all Green People products are vegan, cruelty-free and free from parabens. What we particularly like is that a donation from the sale of each of the Modern Botanicals Gifts goes to Plantlife a British conservation charity that works to save threatened wild flowers, plants and fungi. You can purchase the Leaf and Stem Scent-Free Body Collection here for £18.40.

Golden Greens Expert Collagen Complex

The fear of ageing has women of all ages stressing about the way their skin looks. It’s hard not to feel under pressure when all media portrays is perfect skin. The good news is that you’re not alone. We at The Amazing Blog can completely relate. If you’re afraid of or want to get rid of ageing signs, Golden Greens Expert Collagen Complex will seriously be your new best friend.

As we age, the collagen and hyaluronic acid naturally produced in our bodies, which are essential in maintaining the elasticity and overall smoothness of the skin, start to decrease. Once we get to our fabulous thirties, our skin starts to lose 1-2% of collagen a year, resulting in visible wrinkles and fine lines. To help boost collagen and hyaluronic acid levels, Golden Greens Expert has expertly crafted an organic formula that will naturally give your body back the key nutrients it craves in order to keep your skin looking and feeling as beautiful and youthful on the outside as you feel on the inside. 

The Collagen Complex does not contain any artificial additives, preservatives, or sweeteners and is made up of sustainably sourced Naticol hydrolysed marine collagen and high strength hyaluronic acid. This is all mixed together with a blend of skin-loving ingredients like organic lucuma (a nutrient-rich superfood that makes it naturally sweet), blueberry and acerola powders. Not only does it combine plenty of antioxidants, but it also packs in organic Vitamin C, which aids normal skin functions and collagen development. In other words, your skin will love you for it.

It’s very straightforward to use and easy to take on the go. Just add about two teaspoons to your water, fruit juice, or even smoothies, and mix well. Added bonus? It’s Non-GMO, gluten, lactose, and soy free. Prevention is the best way to keep wrinkles at bay, while maintaining a youthful and glowing skin, so start sipping! The Golden Greens Expert Collagen Complex is available here for £17.99.

Organic Golden Turmeric by Golden Greens

The Amazing Blog has been a huge believer in the power of turmeric for many years, and as a result, we are continually looking for new ways to introduce this miracle ingredient into our diet. This is how we came across Organic Golden Turmeric from Golden Greens. We like to mix this with warm milk (preferably goat or soya) adding a teaspoon of Manuka honey - delicious!

Organic Golden Turmeric is a fantastic product to add to your superfood smoothies or turmeric latte, with its unique blend of organic ginger and black pepper to help with absorption and adding a little zing to the flavour. Turmeric is a natural source of curcumin which has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant. Not forgetting that curcumin is also well-known as a natural painkiller and cox-2 inhibitor and has long been used in Chinese medicine as a treatment for depression. Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, turmeric is a natural treatment for arthritis. Drinking or eating it helps your body to absorb the curcumin quickly and efficiently so that the positive effects can take hold more effectively. Currently, turmeric is being studied for its potential ability to prevent Alzheimers and cancer. 

You can purchase the Golden Green’s Organic Golden Turmeric here for £12.99 This is an excellent way to get healthier and add flavour into your life.

Nano - Intensive Whitening Kit & Toothpaste

Here at The Amazing Blog, we know how important it is to have a bright white smile. Unfortunately, we don’t all have the time or funds for professional teeth whitening. However, we have found the next best thing, the Nano Intensive Whitening Kit by Whitewash Laboratories. As well as an Intensive Whitening Kit we also received Nano’s Whitening Toothpaste and Premium Whitening Toothbrush, and it’s safe to say we’re obsessed.

The strips come in a fresh mint flavour and are formulated with a unique oxidising whitening ingredient; they’re completely safe on enamel and whiten teeth by 3.6 shades after just 1 application. The kit also contains 2 Intensive Whitening Gel Syringes and 2 Boil and Bite Mouth Trays; the gel was developed by dentists to be effective and easy to use. You simply mould the mouth trays to fit the shape of your mouth, line the trays with the Intensive Whitening Gel, place in your mouth for 35 minutes, rinse and voila! A bright, white Hollywood smile.

We also received the Nano Whitening Toothpaste and Toothbrush, which work amazingly in addition to the Intensive Whitening Kit. The toothpaste can be used daily to give your teeth a brightening boost and remove any new surface stains. Designed by UK dentists, the toothpaste contains advanced enamel care technology and Xylitol to help reduce sensitivity and prevent plaque formation.

Nouveau Lashes - Lash & Lid Foaming Cleanser

Over the past few years, having a great set of full-on lashes it has become almost obligatory for adding that final finishing touch to that big glam night out. Yes and even we at The Amazing Blog have been known to sport the odd set of falsies (lashes that is!) What we love about strip lashes is that they are easy to use and instantly transform the eye into a more uber glamorous one. However, when it comes to the end of the night, we need something that is quick and easy to remove all that messy glue and make-up residue. This is where Nouveau Lashes have come to the rescue with their Lash & Lid Foaming Cleanser designed specifically to gently cleanse the eye area in just one quick swoop.

The Lash & Lid Foaming Cleanser offers a cleaner and more efficient eyelid and lashes cleansing routine. Formulated with potent probiotics the cleanser protects the sensitive eye area from skin irritations, bacteria and redness. The product is enriched with key essential oils including castor oil, tea tree oil, aloe vera, calendula extract and sunflower oil. Together these vegan ingredients make a highly nourishing and anti-ageing cleanser that is not only effectively cleanses eyelids and lashes but leaves them hydrated and conditioned.  Something else to mention is that this cleanser is also perfect for removing all traces make-up from brushes and old adhesive from strip lashes (if you want to reuse them). Ingenious, don't you think? You can purchase the Lash & Lid Foaming Cleanser for £14.99 here.
