Carrot Discovery Kit - Docteur Renaud

Here at The Amazing Blog, we love trying out new skincare products. What we don’t love, however, is paying full price for things that we aren’t sure about yet. Thankfully, brands like Docteur Renaud offer sample kits of some of their most popular products so we have the chance to try them out before purchasing full sizes.

We recently tried and fell in love with the Carrot Discovery Kit by Docteur Renaud, a range that includes the ultra-popular Carrot Scrub Detox, the Carrot Radiance Boost Day Cream, and the Carrot Renewing Night Cream. The kit contains a 20ml tube of the scrub, which is enough to 2-3 months if you’re using it twice a week. This scrub is delightfully creamy with small orange granules that are just abrasive enough to remove toxins and refine skin texture. This kit also contains 5ml tubes of day cream and night cream. Both creams are nourishing and moisturising without being greasy, and they leave being a soft, sweet scent. The night cream in particular is perfect for doubling up at an overnight mask for extra dry areas—just use an extra thick layer and rinse off in the morning! These 5ml tubes contain enough cream to use once a day for 1-2 weeks, which is great for fully testing this range. All three products feature carrot—an ingredient that adds radiance and a healthy glow to the complexion. It also naturally possesses the ability to protect the skin from free radicals.

The Docteur Renaud Carrot Discovery Kit is priced at £9, and is available from Skin Evolution here.

The just-released Vitamin A C E Hydra-Serum from Beaut-Boutique combines the best of ingredients to give us remarkable results.

If you’re struggling with ageing skin, we really recommend you to try out the Vitamin A C E Hydra-Serum. It’s available here for £35.

Bee Venom Treatment Cream - Lacrème Beauté

Here at The Amazing Blog we’re always looking for new ways to turn back the clock. With all the new advances in skincare technology it is quite easy to keep our skin looking young. However, what we don't need is more synthetic and unnatural products for this purpose. Victoria Galbraith and Marc Scialom saw that there was a need for luxury organic skincare products and created Lacrème Beauté in 2011. Recently, we were given the opportunity to try out one of their most popular products, the Bee Venom Treatment Cream, and we absolutely loved it.

Bee venom is known for its ability to act as a natural Botox. When the venom is absorbed into the epidermis of the skin, collagen and blood flow are dramatically increased creating a noticeable tightening and lifting look on the skin which helps reducing facial lines. The ingredient is sourced from a small apiary in Kenya and blended with Tamanu oil which promotes cell regeneration. This specialised formula is incredibly hydrating and produces astonishing results on mature skin.

This cult-favorite miracle-worker product is available for £125 on Lacrème Beauté website here.

Love Heart Chakra Green Tea - PositiviTea

Here at The Amazing Blog we know how important it is to take care of both body and mind. PositiviTea is a great way to find that balance.

This company believes in the three P’s: living in the PRESENT, believing everything is POSSIBLE and staying POSITIVE. With all these good vibes, we were more than happy to try PositiviTea’s Love tea. Its blend of Jasmine Green Tea, Rose Petals, Hawthorn Leaf, Cardamom, and Gingko Biloba promises to activate and heal heart chakra. Green tea can help boost your metabolism and Gingko Biloba can improve your circulation. The tea also contains delicious Hawthorn, which helps strengthen the heart whilst Cardamom acts as a breath freshener and an aphrodisiac. As with any other tea, all you have to do is brew it in hot water and all the flavours and properties will emerge.

In each recycled package you can find 15 biodegradable tea bags just for £5.50. You can get and choose your favourite PositiviTea tea here. 

Lip Balm Feature- Friday Favourites

After a long winter, our lips are in desperate need of some TLC. We at The Amazing Blog would love to present you with some of our favourite new options for hydrating lip care products.

Flying Wild shares the healing power of beehives with the world by producing organic beeswax based skincare from their small farm in Ballinderry, Ireland. We were given the opportunity to try the handmade Organic beeswax lip balm with raw Irish honey and rosemary, and we loved how natural and soothing it is. It contains deep moisturising grapeseed oil, protecting beeswax, healing raw Irish honey from their own beehives, refreshing rosemary, and anti-oxidising vitamin E—all of which keep our lips feeling renewed, hydrated, and protected. The creamy texture is lightweight and non-greasy, which means that it’s perfectly suited to wearing underneath other makeup products.

The Organic beeswax lip balm is available here for £3.99.

We recently raved about one of Lacrème Beauté’s bee venom products, but now we would like to introduce the organic rose lip balm. This luxuriously simple product nourishs and protects the lips from harmful UV rays with a blend of Organic Beeswax, organic coco butter, organic shea butter, almond oil, and essential oil of rose otto. The soft rose scent is quite soothing, and the light pink hue adds a slight sheen to brighten a dull complexion. The lightweight formula absorbs quickly so that you’re left with nourished lips all day long.

Purchase your own organic rose lip balm for £12 here.

The new Tinted Luxe Balms from Rouge Bunny Rouge combines an ultra-hydrating lip treatment formula with just the right amount of color. The unique blend of oils, waxes and state-of-the-art pigments create a flattering lip colour with anti-aging properties. It features a powerful active complex derived from sunflower oil designed volumise, smooth, and brighten the lips after four week of continued use. The paraben-free balm is smooth and non-sticky, and it is available in three beautiful hues.
