Pevonia - Stem Cells Phyto-Elite Collection

Here at The Amazing Blog we’re always on the quest to find the ultimate anti-ageing solution, so we were delighted when we received Pevonia’s brand new Stem Cells Phyto-Elite™ skincare collection.

A breakthrough in phyto-biology with proprietary advanced formulas, Stem Cells Phyto-Elite™ features two stem cell sources, Argan Tree and European Comfrey Root, which are proven to visibly repair ageing skin. Featuring a Multi-Active Foaming Cleanser, an Intensive Serum, and an Intensive Cream, the skincare collection sets higher standards in cellular regeneration by getting to the root cause of skin ageing.

With its two unique stem cell sources and a concentration of stem cells that is five to ten times higher than what is currently available, the Pevonia Stem Cells Phyto-Elite™ collection reduces the look of wrinkles while increasing firmness and providing smoother and more radiant looking skin. Each product in the collection enables maximum absorbency and faster repair activity, plus additional anti-oxidant, protective, and anti-ageing benefits for the skin.

We also love how all of Pevonia’s products are made with natural and organic extracts, and are alcohol free, gluten free, paraben free, lanolin free, mineral oil free, PABA free, sodium lauryl sulfate free, non-GMO and Mother Earth Approved.

Pevonia Stem Cells Phyto-Elite™ is available exclusively in the UK and Ireland here starting at £37. 

Pevonia - Lumafirm Firm & Glow Body Moisturiser

We here at The Amazing Blog love to treat ourselves to life’s little luxuries. Whether it’s a relaxing bubble bath, or a decadent shopping spree, we believe that everyone deserves a good pampering session every now and then. So when luxury spa brand, Pevonia, sent us their Lumafirm Firm & Glow Body Moisturiser to try, we were more than happy to sit back, relax and indulge.

It is worth noting that The Amazing Blog are no strangers to Pevonia, having tried their Lift & Glow Eye Contour before. Formulated with a range of natural ingredients, including deeply hydrating watermelon and sorghum, the firming fluid was a huge hit here in the office. We were particularly fond of its ability to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles; its the perfect base for using under make-up.  You can read our full review here. Elated by the prospect of testing another Pevonia product, this time we tried out the Firm & Glow Body Moisturiser. A much creamier texture than the Eye Contour, it slides on like silk, and left my skin feeling nourished and soft. Hydrating safflower oil combines with kombucha to rebuild elasticity and bolster a natural glow, whilst lemon peel oil offers a zingy fresh scent, leaving me feeling rejuvenated and awake. As well as this, the sleek, opulent matte packaging makes this product look as luxurious as it feels. The Firm & Glow Body Moisturiser is available to buy here for £65, and our previously featured Lift & Glow Eye Contour can be purchased here for £71.

Pamper Festive Finds

Day three of our Festive Finds and its time for the all important beauty choices. When it comes to Christmas presents, beauty products  are always welcomed with the The Amazing Blog girls. However, sometimes it can be hard to find the perfect present for a loved one, so we have been doing the hard work for you and want to share with you some of our favourite beauty and grooming gift sets to help you out with your Christmas shopping.

After trying out Pevonia’s Lumafirm Eye Contour Lift and Glow back in September we couldn’t wait to see what their Christmas Gift Sets had to offer us. We settled on the Essential Salvation Gift Set, designed to provide your loved one (or you!) with the Pevonia’s essential care range. The Essential Salvation set includes Face Cream, Cleanser, Lotion and Aromatherapy Face Oil. The kits can be specialised for dry, sensitive or combination skin types. These natural products are designed to revitalise, desensitise and normalise the skin by nourishing and energising it to help it look healthier and fresher. All the products smell lovely and really work to replenish your skin, which I have needed recently in this cold weather. You can get your hands on the Essential Salvation Gift Set from the Pevonia website for £66.

We all know that the winter weather is harmful to our skin, and the Christmas party season does not do our skin any favours either. This means, that at this time of year we should make an extra effort with our skin and use products to rectify any damage done. Thankfully, Aurelia Probiotic Skincare have a wonderful skincare Christmas gift set: The Relax and Repair Night Time Kit. The gift set includes Aurelia’s Cell Repair Night Oil to intensively repair the skin cells overnight which works in conjunction with the body’s nightly repair function. The oil works by hydrating and soothing dehydrated skin and by morning your skin will be left radiant and healthier looking. This gift set also includes a gorgeous vintage looking pink and gold teacup and saucer along with a signature blend of night time tea to drink with your nightly oil ritual. You can get the Relax and Repair Night Time Kit from The Aurelia Probiotic Skincare website for £65.

Here at The Amazing Blog, we love Lush products as they all seem to smell good enough to eat. This Christmassy Lush gift set, Fab Christmas, has become one of our favourite beauty sets this year, and for good reason too! We love everything about this gift set, from the beautiful pink and purple hat box style packaging, to the wide array of products waiting inside. Some of our favourite products inside have to be the Snow Fairy Shower Gel and Sparkle Bar. The fragrance is a rich candy floss scent infused with pear drops, it is very girly and sweet but there is just something about it that reminds us so much of Christmas, so it is no wonder that it is always a Christmas bestseller. The set also includes a mixture of bath bombs, soaps, shower gel and lotions that is sure to thrill this gift’s recipient. You can get hold of the Fab Christmas set from Lush stores or online from their website for £49.95.

The Bluebeard’s Revenge Aftershave was a big hit with Jose, our resident male here at The Amazing Blog, so when we discovered the huge range of gift sets on offer from The Bluebeard’s Revenge, we just knew that they would be a fantastic gift for a man. We love the Deluxe Kit as it contains all the essential shaving products that the modern man could possibly need, including Pre-shave Oil, Beard Reducing Shaving Cream, Post Shave Balm, the “Doubloon” Shaving Brush and Silver Technology Anti-perspirant Deodorant. These premium products are the ultimate products in luxury shaving and are formulated to help men get the best out of their shaving experience. We think that this set would be an ideal gift for men who are very interested in grooming or teenagers who are just starting to shave and would benefit from an all-inclusive kit. The Deluxe Kit is available on The Bluebeard’s Revenge website and costs £35.

The Bulldog Expert Skincare Set is the perfect Christmas gift for the man in your life who takes an interest in personal grooming and skincare. The wonderful set is packaged in a metal tin featuring a bulldog on the front which is great to store these Bulldog goodies inside. The set includes a range of Bulldog products, including the Original Face Wash, Original Moisturiser, Original Aftershave Balm and the Original Face Scrub, so is full of all the essentials to build up a good skincare routine. We love that Bulldog’s products do not contain artificial colours, synthetic ingredients or animal products. They do however contain a range of eight essential oils that work to cleanse and moisturise the skin. The Bulldog Expert Skincare Set is available exclusively in Boots stores and online where it is retailing at £20.

Our final hamper is by A Beautiful World. It’s a limited edition hamper priced at £100, and filled with every fabulous natural beauty product you could want. A Beautiful World stocks a variety of beauty products that many people don’t know about but need to. This hamper would be ideal to give to your mum or someone else very special this Christmas to spoil them a little. Nothing wrong with dropping a few hints to your partner if you want it yourself… Inside you will find the Dahliana Overnight Fruit Lift, Lumiere d'Opale, 5 x Collagen Face Mask, MuLondon White Chocolate Elbow, Knee & Heel Cream, Yarok Feed Your Youth, S.W Basics Shea Butter Cream, Know-it-oil, Marble & Milkweed Body Oil and Konjac Sponge. All these organic products are incredibly beneficial for the skin and perfect for all seasons and the different effects the weather will have on your face and body. The MuLondon White Chocolate Elbow smells incredible, obviously it would, it’s chocolate! This hand whipped moisturiser replenishes the skin well without leaving a heavy layer to clog your pores. There are also great oils in the set, which we all love to use during the winter because they are quite calming as well as giving you balanced skin.  The Marble & Milkweed body oil is packaged beautifully and would sit perfectly amongst some girly skincare products in the bathroom. Everything in the hamper is unique and has individuality which sets it aside from other products on the market. This may be the ingredients or the way the products are produced but you can be sure to get a selection of lovely, organic products to treat your skin to.  £100 is a great deal for the amount you receive in the hamper and the quality they all are. You can buy the hamper here.

Tomorrow we have some Festive Finds for your home this Christmas and New Year.

Pevonia's Lumafirm Eye Contour Lift and Glow

Most of us are very unhappy at the prospect of growing older, especially because of the physical aging that comes with it. So we all stock our bathroom cabinets full of anti-aging products and eye creams to reduce the effect of aging on our skin. Here at The Amazing Blog we have tried so many of these products, but when we find something very special we just have to tell you all about it! US-based skincare company Pevonia have recently launched their Lumafirm Eye Contour Lift and Glow, which we have been putting to the test, and the verdict is: wonderful!

Lumafirm is one of Pevonia’s anti-aging skin ranges, and works to help firm and tone the skin in the desired area of application.  The Eye Contour cream uses Biomimetic Liposomic Technology and a powerful microemulsified formula to work deep into the skin and smooth lines and wrinkles as well as diminish puffiness and dark circles around the eyes. It also contains powerful antioxidants to keep the skin strong and healthy.

The formula contains Watermelon and Apple, which works to hydrate the skin. Kombucha works to increase skin elasticity and firmness, as well as other ingredients which work to brighten and tone the skin.  I found that a full pump was even more than I needed; a little goes a very long way with this eye serum. It has a lovely light texture, and doesn’t leave the skin feeling sticky. You will want to apply this morning and evening, and because it absorbs quickly, you can wear your makeup over it without worry.

If you would like to try something a little bit different that really works you can find out more about Pevonia’s Lumafirm Eye Contour as well as the rest of the line by visiting their website. The Eye Contour is available for purchase there for £68.00 for a 15ml pump bottle.
