Botanicals Organic Skin Care Facial Collection

As most of our daily readers already know, at The Amazing Blog we love any kind of products that are hand made and organic. After hearing about Botanicals skincare from a couple of my friends I knew I had to make it a point to try out their facial collection. We were all pleasantly surprised when we received the Facial 'Try Me' Collection: Chamomile & Mandarin. There was a little something for everyone to take home at the office.

Botanicals Skincare Company uses only the most natural and organic ingredients and are all hand made in small batches to preserve the quality of all their products. After learning about this, we knew we were all getting a great product to sample. I luckily ended up with the Skin Tonic and Green Clay Nourish Masque, which I was secretly pinning for. All in all I was excited to sample these two different products. I had Sunday off so I knew this would be the perfect time to test out these new products.

On Sunday I decided I wanted to treat myself to a mini facial so I tried out the Green Clay Nourish Masque. After applying a thin layer and letting it really soak into my skin for approximately 10 minutes, I then used a hot towel to gently scrub it off of my face. It left my skin feeling refreshed and hydrated – while also leaving me in a great mood, but that maybe because I finally got 10 minutes to myself. After treating myself to the mini facial I decided to try the Skin Tonic. At first, I was hesitant, in the past I have found that most Skin Tonics tend to dry my skin out, thankfully that wasn't the case. I applied a small amount of the Skin Tonic lightly on my face and it was quickly absorbed. I was impressed with how hydrated my skin still felt. The Skin Tonic also allowed my mouisturiser to last longer – which was a great added bonus that I wasn't expecting.

I would highly recommend the "Try Me" set that Botanicals Skincare offers. You are able to test out an assortment of their products and then decide which ones you wish to purchase. It's a great way to quickly figure out whether or not you like the brand without the commitment of purchasing a full sized product. You can buy your own  "Try Me" collection facial set for  £37.50 . Let Botanicals help you figure out which facial serum, skin tonic, or nourishing masque works best for you and your skin type. If you ask me this sounds like a great deal!

Heathcote & Ivory Vintage Collection

After a tough start to the week, all I could think about was going home and taking a nice, relaxing bubble bath. I decided this would be the perfect opportunity to use the bath melts from Heathcote & Ivory’s vintage collection in the Mimosa and Pomegranate scent. We had received these earlier here at The Amazing Blog and I was just dying to get the chance to try them out. From the moment I dropped these into my bath, the rich floral scent of mimosa and the light fruity scent of pomegranate filled my entire bathroom. I was able to melt away the stresses of the beginning of the week with the softening and relaxing notes that had begun to perfume the water. My bath left me feeling silky smooth and smelling delicous, and the relaxed feeling lasted long after my bath was finished. These bath melts created a decadent bath time experience and left me feeling calm and level-headed, not to mention they are sulphate and paraben free which is always a plus.

To complete the experience, I decided to use their coordinating Hand and Nail lotion. This lotion, with its combination of fruity pomegranate and rich mimosa, it's also enriched with vitamin E and Shea butter which left my hands feeling soft and my nails stronger. My hands looked and felt instantly nourished and with the lotion being natural and paraben free as well, I didn't have to worry about applying any strange chemicals to my hands.  I loved the feeling and the scent so much I've decided to stash some in my handbag in case I'm need of further moisture protection - especially in this freeze weather.

The combination of both the bath melts as well as the hand lotion left me feeling relaxed and was exactly what I was looking for. If you need a 'pick me up' of your very own you can purchase the Bath Melts for £7.00 and the Hand and Nail Lotion for £5.00 on their website and get ready to create your own perfect bath time experience.
