Huile Prodigieuse - Nuxe

Here at The Amazing Blog, we love all-in-one products, so you can imagine how excited we were when we had the chance to try the Huile Prodigieuse from Nuxe; an oil that you can apply onto your face, body and hair.

This multi-purpose dry oil promises to nourish, repair and soften our hair and skin.  Blended with Macadamia, Hazelnut, Borage, Almond, Camellia and St. John’s Wort plant oils, this dry oil can be used in so many different ways! You can use it as a normal moisturiser or add a little bit to your foundation, you can also spray it into your hair before blow-drying it for a great shiny finish, apply it as a massage oil, put a few drops for a relaxing bath or even  as an after-sun product to deeply repair and nourish the skin. Lots of amazing options for just one product, right? Its surprisingly non-greasy texture absorbed very quickly and left a gorgeous satin finish on our skin. We also love how it smells, as it features the signature scent of Nuxe that we have just recently reviewed here.

Grab the multi-purpose dry oil Huile Prodigieuse here for £17 (50ml) or £28 (100ml).

Cura Oil – Infinatura

Here at The Amazing Blog, we recognize true luxury when we see it. When we opened a box and saw the stunning iridescent packaging of the Infinatura Cura Oil, we knew we were in for a treat.

This product relies on nature’s own ability to heal the skin, hair, and nails. A fusion of 8 natural oils, the Cura Oil is the perfect way to pamper yourself after a stressful day. The hand-selected blend of Sunflower, Bergamot, Geranium, Red Mandarin, Vitamin E, Camellia, Argan, Soya Wax, and Crambe abyssinica oils works to prevent aging, relieve common skin conditions, and nourish the skin, hair, and nails. The multi-purpose product is a great addition to any beauty cabinet, and will improve your sense of wellbeing.

Tangle Angel Brushes

We still remember here at The Amazing Blog, what a nightmare it was getting our hair combed when we were kids. Today, thanks to the Tangle Angel Brushes, that memory is luckily fading.

First of all let us tell you how pretty and magical they look. The back of the brush is decorated with a pair of angel wings, while the front is in a gorgeous heart-shape. But not only are they beautiful the Tangle Angel Brushes have a range of characteristics that set them apart from their competitors - antibacterial, anti-static, water and heat resistant. Designed by Celebrity & Royal Hairdresser, Richard Ward, the brushes contain "...scientifically developed bristles for easy, pain-free gentle detangling..." with each bristle placed at different heights to gently glide through your hair, unbinding every knot.

That means they’re ideal for any type of hair. Curly, long, thick or fragile, these heavenly tools will make brushing your favourite moment of the day. This year the brand decided to launch a new and catchy range of metallic colours, creating the Metallix Collection. We adore the Pop Purple but there's a colour to suit everyone; OMG Orange, Precious Pink, Totally Turquoise, Wow White, GR8 Graphite, Gorgeous Gold and Fab Fuchsia.

With Christmas just around the corner, this could be the perfect present for your family and friends. Get them all for only £14.95 here on Tangle Angel website.

Andrew Barton - Miracle Collection - Hair Brushes

Here at The Amazing Blog, our hair routine is pretty extensive, and we always make sure to have the right tools and products on hand to make our locks look fabulous. The right hairbrush can make all the difference, and right now we’re loving the Miracle Shine brushes from Andrew Barton. Jenclare Brands generously allowed us to try the full range of hair brushes, and we were pleased with the results. Each brush is gold and black in colour, bringing forth a chic and edgy design.

The five brushes in the collection each address a different hair concern or hair type. The Miracle Revitalise and Miracle Volume brushes worked great when styling straight looks, since we got sleek and smooth hair without the hassle. The Miracle Curls brush gave our curly-haired employees defined, natural curls when blow drying, while nixing frizz and adding volume. The shape of the brush allows for styling in all directions, so it’s easy to achieve the style you want without losing the shape of curls. If you’re just looking to brush your dry hair and head out the day after you style your hair, try the Miracle Protect and Miracle Shine brushes to detangle and soften your tresses. We were pleased with each of the brushes, as each provided us with the hair benefits we wanted for the day.

Get your own set of Andrew Barton brushes here or at your local ASDA store. The cost of each brush varies, but they are all under £10.

Label.M - Brunette Texturising Volume Spray

Here at The Amazing Blog, we're constantly looking for ways to give our hair that 'done' look with minimal effort. Recently, we got our hands on the Brunette Texturising Volume Spray from Label.M professional hair care, and have finally found the 'get up and go' product that we've always craved.

As the official haircare sponsor of London Fashion Week 2015, we already knew we were on to a great product. After all, if it's good enough for the catwalk, who are we to say no. The brunette-friendly spray was added to the collection after the brand's original Texturising Volume Spray was a roaring success. Launched last year, it became a popular product so quickly that the founders decided to develop a brunette-specific version to give a lift to darker roots.

Utilising the same concept as a dry shampoo, the spray is the perfect way to give brunette barnets a bit of oomph. I simply sprayed through my roots, and after a bit of finger work, I found that I had the perfect tousled style with a dose of extra volume in no time at all. It also has the same hold as a hairspray, so you don’t have to worry about your hair flying everywhere in the unpredictable London wind. A hairspray/dry shampoo hybrid could potentially have devastating effects on the texture of your hair, but I'm pleased to report that my tresses were neither crispy nor powdery after use. It's a great product for giving you hair and mood a necessary boost when you're feeling a bit deflated.

Each spray costs £12.95, so stock up on the backstage favourite here and say a fond farewell bad hair days.
