Bee Pollen and Bee Butter Balm - Vonnybee

Here at The Amazing Blog  we love bee products because we know how great the work for your skin and your wellbeing in general. This time we were excited to try two products from the Vonnybee range: the Bee Pollen and the Bee Butter Balm.

Vonnybee is a company that specialises in 100% natural bee products for health, vitality and well-being. Their Bee Pollen is, as Vonnybee calls it, a 'Hay Fever Fixer'. This allergy to grass and tree pollen can be very debilitating and bee pollen can help reduce the symptoms. Its richness in vitamins and minerals hep your body when you are feeling tired or anxious. One teaspoon per day accompanied with food, preferably at breakfast time, is enough. That will give you back the vitality you need to keep the day going. We also tried Vonnybee's, Bee Butter Balm , an excellent intensive care for dry skin that you can use for your lips or any part of your body that needs some extra nourishment. This balm contains organic olive oil combined with coconut oil for a moisturised and re-hydrated skin. The product also contains beeswax which works as a shield that prevents your skin from external dryness. 

Enjoy a hay fever free year and an extra moisturised skin with the Bee Pollen, available to purchase for £10.00 here, and the Bee Butter Balm for £7.50 here.

30 Minute Face Mask - ChinUp Mask

We all have imperfections we would like to change about ourselves but wouldn’t necessarily go forward with a surgical procedure for all different reasons.  Here at the Amazing Blog we believe it is important to love ourselves for who we are and embrace our flaws and beauty but we also believe it is okay if you wanted to change something that you may be self-conscious about as long as you are happy that is the main factor.

It has been in trend for a while now the famous jawline and the contoured cheekbones; people from all around the world like this look. Which is why the brand ChinUp was created to give people the extra confidence boost they need, so they can  be happy in there appearance without having to go through the cosmetic pain or having to spend a fortune on cosmetic surgery.

 How this product works is it is recommended to use this product every other day for an effective result for 30-40 minutes each time.   In the starter pack you get two face masks that work as a slimming mask, which you apply before you put on the chin up strap that gives your chin the lift you want for the jawline. It also comes with a tape measure so you can measure your chin before and after so you can see the results happening for yourself.  

The benefits of using this product is it will reduce fat around the chin area, it also promotes facial blood circulation and will lift and firm the lower part of your facial area to achieve the contoured jawline.

If you always wanted to have the signature jawline then why not buy yourself a starter pack to get yourself going here for £29.95, it is less effort and less cost.

Luminous colour shampoo and conditioner – Maria Nila

Here at The Amazing Blog we love natural products that protect coloured hair. So when we received Maria Nila's Luminous Colour Shampoo and Conditioner, we knew we would be interested in what they had to offer.

After having your hair coloured, there is nothing worse than shampoos and conditioners that destroy your new colour. Before we talk about the great formulas behind the products, we have to mention the cute, girly packaging in a matte pink shade which we love. In addition to looking beautiful they are useful too. Both the Luminous Colour Shampoo and Conditioner help to rebuild and strengthen your hair structure leaving strands with lustrous shine, and protects coloured hair thanks the colour guard complex and pomegranate extract. The conditioner detangles hair whilst the shampoo gives it a glossy finish. What’s more, it’s made with 100% vegan ingredients without sulphates and parabens. For enhanced protection, it is recommended that you use both products from the range to reduce the loss of colour associated with washing. 

Treat your coloured hair with the Luminous Colour Shampoo for £12.98 here and the Luminous Colour Conditioner for £13.99  here.

Antiox, Face & Body Lotion and Soap - La Espiral Verde

We all aim to use the right beauty products to keep our skin soft and moisturised but do we know what ingredients are in the products we are using? Here at The Amazing Blog we strive to promote brands and products that are actually good for our skin and will benefit from using their products. So today, we want to introduce a brand we've just discovered called La Espiral Verde.

This company is a natural and organic manufacturer that specialises in body and face lotions, hair and body washes and soap bars. Many of their products are two-in-one cosmetics and their hero ingredient, Atlantic Seaweed, is a powerful natural addition featuring in most of the products. Also this unisex brand is suitable for all skin types and can be used by vegans.

We were lucky enough to be sent a range of products to review. Firstly Antiox, a face moisturiser that will regenerate and repair your facial skin; we tried both for normal & dry skin and for combination skin. It is advised to apply the product to your face with a circular massage technique until the product is absorbed. One of the two-in-one products we were fortunate to try was the lemon scented body and face lotion, that comes in a rose scent also. It’s perfect for people who seek a moisturiser that is suitable for face and body at the same time. The product is a non-greasy lotion that easily spreads over the skin keeping it soft and nourished. We also loved their soap which has a combination of seaweed and olive oil ideal for any skin type including delicate and sensitive. You can use it to wash your body, face and, surprisingly enough, your hair too.

The body and face cream is available to buy here for £17.50, you can also get the Antiox for £16.75 here and the seaweed soap is available to purchase in a pack of three for £11.65 here.
