St Kitts Herbery - Rosemary & Bergamot

Here at The Amazing Blog we love beauty, especially when it’s home grown. So when niche beauty brand St Kitts Herbery sent us a Rosemary and Bergamot gift set to test out, we were all very curious to try them out.

Together with St Kitts Herbery's wonderful Rosemary & Bergamot range, also came their rather special Clay Face Mask.There’s something very charming about products which include a selection of local scented flowers and plants from their area and we also love the way that their Rosemary & Bergamot is home grown too. When they arrived, the scent of the products radiated through the packaging, which made us even more excited to dive in. The shower gel and shampoo used together made showering a flowery delight, and by using the body lotion in tandem too meant that we found that the fragrance lasted even longer... As for the clay face mask, most people are aware of the positive effect of clay on skin but may only ever get the chance to use it in situ if on a holiday excursion in the Red Sea. Now with St Kitts' help, the natural clay facial experience can be recreated in your very own bathroom. The mask has a lovely thick texture, which soaks into the skin and when left on for the recommended time of 10 minutes, leaves it feeling silky soft and refreshed. To think that St Kitts Herbery began life in 2001, with just £2000 and as old truck-stop style cafe in Cornwall, but has since evolved into a gorgeous beauty brand offering perfectly natural yet luxurious products is a very inspirational story indeed.  Certainly their hard work is now reflected in these products and if you’re after something 100% British, natural  and with a luxurious feel then St Kitts Herbery is a must!

The Rosemary & Bergamont Luxury Gift Set and Clay Face Mask can be purchased here for £11.95 each, along with various other delights.

KORRES Bath and Body Collection

I am always looking for new lines of body care products that moisturize and cleanse my skin but also smell fresh too! There are so many products out there to choose from so how can you possibly decide which ones are best for you? We at The Amazing Blog love the Korres brand, especially their new Fragrance Body Care Collection.

Our favourite body care product from this new collection is the White Tea, Bergamot, and Freesia Body Milk and Shower Gel. Both products include ingredients with vitamins and minerals that help hydrate your skin keeping it feeling fresh and energized. The White Tea, Bergamot, and Freesia Body Milk is the perfect body lotion for those living a fast paced lifestyle. It is light and moisturizes into your skin easily which is great when on-the-go. We absolutely love the airiness of this product. It not only feels great on your skin, but also moisturizes it deeply. The combination of provitamin B5, Shea Butter, and Jojoba oil enhances skin suppleness, while also providing long-lasting hydration. Other ingredients such as vitamin C and E, Zinc, and Antioxidant Enzymes enhance the skin’s immune system. The Shower Gel is also amazing and great for everyday use. The synthesis is based on Wheat Proteins, which form a protective film on the skin, maintaining its regular hydration level. Both of these products are great and smell fabulous.

The Shower Gels retails for £9.00 and the Body Milks retail for £10.00. The new Korres collection can be purchased on Oliver Bonas, Feel Unique, Asos, and Bath and Unwind online. We love Korres and their natural approach to beauty!

C&J Candles

Here at The Amazing Blog we seem to have caught a slight bit of spring fever, which is only becoming exaggerated with the increasing temperatures outside. I often take a little longer during my morning walks just to stay outside and soak up the sunshine, or simply stop to smell the blooming flowers. I love everything about spring, from the bright colours of nature that surround me to the smells of grass and the flowers. Since I love the smell of spring so much, I always find myself searching for a scent that can accurately bring the essence of spring into my home. Luckily I recently discovered the C&J Bergamot, May Chang, and Grapefruit Candle and now when I light this candle I can finally feel that spring is present not only outside but also inside my home.

The Bergamot, May Chang, and Grapefruit scents may sound like an unorthodox combination, but trust me when I say that they  complement each other wonderfully! I was instantly captivated by the scents of this candle and pleased at how much it reminded me of the outdoors and spring time. The May Chang lets off a lemon scent which when joined with the smell of grapefruit and pepper of the Bergamot creates a refreshing springtime aroma that fills my home whenever I use it. In addition to it being a great smelling candle, it is also environmentally friendly. The wax used is made from soy beans which is an alternative to the cheaper non-renewable paraffin wax often seen in competitor’s candles. As a result of their natural materials, these candles are good for you because they do not produce any potentially dangerous soot particles. Not only is the wax made from natural ingredients, but so are the wicks and scents! The wicks are made completely from natural cotton and contain no metal. The scents included in all of C&J’s candles are formed out of precious essential oils and you are guaranteed to capture the purest scents. I have become captivated by the C&J Bergamot, May Chang, and Grapefruit candle and cannot wait to try their other scents and I promise you will feel exactly the same way. Be sure to try these candles out for yourself and purchase your own from candjhome.co.uk.
