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. 

Sensitive Skin Travel Kit, "The" Eye Cream, Seaweed Mask and "The Best" Deodorant - Benedetta

Everyone here at The Amazing Blog loves to travel, and with the restrictions implemented at every airport in the world regarding liquids and suitcase weights, travel kits have become something of a must here. The only problem is that the majority of these kits are designed to dramatically transform dried out complexions. While effective on most skins, this can cause blotchiness and discoloration for those of us with a sensitive complexion. This is a problem that we have been aware of for a while here at the blog, so when we came across Benedetta’s new Facial Regimen Travel and Gift Set for Sensitive Skin, we knew we had to try it!

Not only are the products gentle on sensitive skin, but they are also effective. Coming in a clear travel bag that you can quickly place in any carry-on, the kit contains three marvellous and mini versions of Benedetta’s best products! The three products work brilliantly on their own, but we found that by including their eye crème and seaweed mask our skin was positively glowing, so have included them here. To use, you begin with the Anti-Inflammatory Massage In Crème Cleanser, which gently cleanses and exfoliates red or inflamed skin. You then use their fantastic eye crème, “The” Eye Crème, which diminishes dark circles transforming dull, lifeless skin around the eyes as it assists your body's defence against ageing. Following "The" Eye Crème, you apply the Rosemary Verbenone Crystal Hydrating Elixir, which renews hydration at deeper levels and encourages healthy cell regeneration resulting in a renewed complexion. Step Four is the Artemisia Facial Oil. This intensive oil treatment is rich in anti-oxidants and helps to improve the skins ability to protect against UV rays and free radical damage. The final element that we reccomend is the Seaweed Mask and Lavender Hydrosol. To apply you just add the lavender hydrosol to the seaweed mask mix until it is at your desired consistency and apply it over the face and neck and leave it on for at least twenty minutes – to remove, you rehydrate the mix with lukewarm water and a wash cloth.

We were also incredibly lucky and able to try Benedetta’s farm sourced and 100% botanical deodorant, “The Best” Deodorant. The ingredients in this product specifically target odor-causing bacteria. While not an antiperspirant, the deodorant counteracts the bacteria that causes excessive sweating. Primarily consisting of locally sourced organic and biodynamic blend of grape alcohol, the product is a spray that dries quickly, leaving only the enlivening botanical aroma of the active ingredients. We think that this is the perfect accompaniment to the travel kit as it slips easily into hand luggage and helps you refresh yourself during or after a flight! Meaning you can easily be the most beautiful, restored and natural version of yourself when you arrive!

All of the products are available on Benedetta’s website. "The Best" Deodorant is available here for £18.00 and The Travel Kit here for £47.00. "The" Eye Crème is available here for £73.00, the Seaweed Mask and the Lavender Hydrosol are available here for £34.00.

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.

Here at The Amazing Blog, we live very busy lives. More often than not, we are taking our things on-the-go and running out the door. For times like these, it’s very important to us to have things that are functional and practical at the same time. For this reason, we were extremely excited when our good friends at Bear & Bear sent us the Stojo Collapsible Cup.

This cup is designed to eliminate waste from disposable coffee cups while being super-compact and portable. The unique design allows for the silicone body of the cup to collapse down to a two-inch disc that can be stowed in your bag or your pocket when you’re busy being busy. The rigid lid is leak-proof and the cup also features a rigid thermal sleeve that slides onto the body of the cup when in use and slots into the bottom of the collapsed cup when not in use. It’s also microwave and dishwasher safe, making it easy to clean!
