Perfume Feature - Friday Favourites

Scent is the strongest trigger of memories, therefore at The Amazing Blog the scents that waft through the office are making us dream of summer days gone by and serving as a lovely reminder of the warmer weather that is to come. This Friday we have put together three of our favourite perfumes to enjoy this summer!

Prodigieux le parfum by Nuxe is the Parisian pick of the bunch, combining orange blossom, magnolia, and vanilla to create a truly lovely, summery perfume. The fragrance is based on the well-known Nuxe Huile Prodigieux, and has people reminiscing of beach holidays. With its long lasting scent, it is the perfect fragrance to be worn during the day in the warmer months.  

Find Prodigieux le parfum here for £43.50.

The most exotic of the three, Islah by Ayesha Ziya is a luxurious mix of fruity and spicy scents, making for a warm and provocative perfume perfect for balmy nights. The perfume stood out to us due to its unique base note of Oud, a rare and rich woody fragrance. Softer scents of citrus and rosemary bring energy to the product. For strong, confident women who desire a perfume as distinct as themselves, Islah is the perfect fit.    

Snap up a bottle of Islah here for £76.00.

LUA natural perfume (Portuguese for moon) is launching this summer and has been developed by Nadia Narain, yoga teacher to celebrities such as Kate Moss and Lara Stone. Based upon her love of rose and her preference for natural essential oils over synthetic fragrances, Nadia has developed Lua alongside renowned aromatherapist Michelle Roques-O’Neil. The luxurious mix of geranium and blood orange with wild and Persian rose has us dreaming of fine days in an English rose garden. A beautiful gift for ladies who appreciate a sophisticated, yet natural, perfume, or for someone wishing to treat themselves!

Lua can be purchased online here for £58.00.

Essential Exfoliating Gel - Katherine Daniels

We all know that exfoliating can be a great way to renew and reveal radiant skin. Here at The Amazing Blog, we love to exfoliate, but we also don’t want to use harsh and abrasive products that may damage our delicate skin. For those of you who are looking for a gentle solution, Katherine Daniels offers the Essential Exfoliating Gel.

This gel-textured, non-abrasive formula gently removes dead skin cells using AHAs from Red Algea. We applied a thin layer of this gel, and after a few minutes it melted into a super soft oil that could easily be massaged into the skin. After washing it off, we’re left with radiant and glowing complexions! Use it once or twice per week to give your skin a gentle but effective boost.

Ceramides Enriched Desert Serum - Antonin .B

Here at The Amazing Blog, we particularly love to take care of our hair and try new products. That’s why we can’t resist sharing with you a new discovery—the Ceramides Enriched Desert Serum by the French brand Antonin .B!

This organic and ecologically certified hair serum promises intense hydration. Its texture is light and fluid, designed to be absorbed quickly, providing strength and shine to your hair without weighing it down or making it greasy. This blend of 9 organic vegetable oils (Omega 3, Omega 6, Omega 9) made with 100% plant sourced ingredients also creates a smoothing effect to help you fight frizz and conserve your blow-dry longer. Suitable for dry and colour-treated hair, you can use the serum as an everyday treatment. You can apply 2 to 4 drops on the ends of your hair before your blow dry or leave half a pipette in all night on your damp hair as a deep treatment. You can also add some drops to your favourite hair mask! We love the lovely bottle that comes in a small pouch, and the pipette simplifies the application whilst avoiding waste of product.  

Bring vitality and shine to your hair by getting the Ceramides Enriched Desert Serum here for £32.

Cocoa Glow - Chocolate Sun

It’s clear that here at The Amazing Blog, we love our fake tanning products. We have featured more than our fair share of our favourites, but we’re always on the lookout for new products that are more natural and better for our bodies.

Cocoa Glow by Chocolate Sun is the very first all-natural organic fake tanning product. Fresh from Santa Monica, Los Angeles, Cocoa Sun contains a skin tinting agent called DHA that’s derived from beets. The all-natural glow develops five to seven hours after application and lasts seven to ten days. The ultra-moisturising formulation includes ingredients like aloe, coconut oil, shea butter, and sweet almond oil, blended with potent antioxidants from green tea and cocoa bean extracts. To use, first exfoliate the skin and then apply the deliciously cocoa-scented product in circular motions while avoiding tricky bits like knees and ankles. Just wash your hands afterwards to prevent sun tan hands, and you’ll be good to glow!

Get ready for warmer weather with Chocolate Sun’s Cocoa Glow here for £26.

The Personal Barber

Here at The Amazing Blog, we believe that men deserve their very own pampering products. We constantly hear the men in our lives complain about the hassle of shaving, so we’ve found the perfect gift for them to make that task a little bit easier.

The Personal Barber is a subscription service that turns a daily chore into the ultimate shaving experience. Every month, a box of hand-picked choices of the best shaving products are delivered right to your door! The Personal Barber sends products that are in line with traditional wet shaving, so the first month’s box includes a safety razor, a shaving brush, soap, blades, and a step-by-step guide. To keep things interesting, entirely new soaps, blades, and pre/post shave products are sent from the second month onward. In our box we received the safety razor, the shaving brush, blades, Musgo Real Crème de Barbear Classic Scented Shaving Cream, and a Para Mi Natural Shaving Oil. Both have a delicately masculine scent that we love! We think this service is incredible because the safety razor and brush are guaranteed for life, and it cuts the hassle out of having to buy replacement shaving products at the last minute.

The boxes are available on a month-to-month, 3 month, 6 month, or yearly subscription basis. On a Month-to-Month basis the boxes cost £24.95 including delivery, and you can save over 28% by subscribing for a longer period of time. Check out all of the options here.
