Love for hair: THERAPI

The Amazing Blog has long been on the hunt for salon quality haircare at home, so we were practically giddy when we came across the luxury British haircare brand THERAPI. The brand was created to offer luxury salon professional hair care available now to the consumer all at an affordable price.  Their hero ingredient is the multi-functioning Baobab Oil, which is extracted by ethical trade charter practices, and provides moisturising, strengthening, repairing and conditioning properties. Their products will leave all hair types with lustrous shine.  They have an easy to follow three step system which includes a cleanser, a conditioner and styling product. We decided to try their Signature Cleanser, Volumising Conditioner their Shimmer and Shine Spray combined with the Smoothing Cream

The Signature Cleanser is suitable for all hair types and gently cleanses hair without stripping the natural oils from the hair. The cleanser also contains Keratin Amino Acids to strengthen hair and Panthenol Vitamin B5 for added sugar. The Volumising Conditioner is ideal for those of you looking for lift and boost and is the perfect product to follow the Cleanser.  Leave the conditioner in your hair for 1-2 minutes before rinsing for unrivalled effects. After this use Smoothing Cream, enriched with Baobab Oil, contains a unique formula to smooth, hydrate and tame frizz. With its moisturising and anti-ageing properties this really is a smooth operator. Finally for the finished look use the Shimmer and Shine Spray for the ultimate polished look. The spray tames flyaway hair and smoothes split ends, so your hair looks shinier than ever before.  We loved THERAPI and not only are their products effective but they are also paraben and sulphate free, they protect your hair from harmful UV rays, contain Colour Lock technology and give extreme heat protection up to 250°c.

Shea Butter Body Conditioner – Peini

Peini is where science meets African cultural traditions. Peini is the result of a British skin care brand collaborating with a West African Farmer’s Cooperation. It is an organic and natural skin care range that focuses on incorporating naturally-occurring beauty enhancing ingredients into their beauty products. “PEINI” means gift in Dagbani, and we here at The Amazing Blog were very excited to receive the Shea Butter Body Conditioner.

This brand was created and introduced to the UK market by Sarah Nicholas-Kyei after many visits to her husband, Kwaku Kyei’s, homeland. Peini uses sustainable farming for their ingredients, hiring Ghanaian widows, orphans, women farmers to bring ancient skin care practices to the UK. The products are all toxic free, green and use naturally-sourced shea butter, coconut oil, olive oil, palm kernel oil, sunflower seed oil that are indigenous to Ghana. These nourishing ingredients deliver natural, edible vitamins E, A, F and K. The results are beautiful products that are Paraben-free, SLS-free and are cruelty-free, which means that these products can be used on even the most sensitive of skins, including newborn babies.

The Shea Butter Body Conditioner is rich and thick, providing you with a deep and long-lasting moisture. However, we are pleased to report that the skin is not left sticky and coated. The body conditioner is absorbed almost instantly, so after applying you can almost immediately get dressed and begin your day. The conditioner improves skin texture and tone, boosts collagen production and the abundance of vitamins recover and defend the skin.

You can purchase this wonderful body conditioner for £8.50 from the Peini website here, or from Amazon UK here and trust us, this a gift you won't regret buying for yourself. 

Timeless Travel Pack - Timeless Truth Masks

Here at The Amazing Blog, we know how damaging travelling can be to your skin. No matter how good you may look when you leave, by the time you have reached your destination your skin is dull, dried-out and tired. Luckily, though, we have a solution. Timeless Truth Masks presents the Timeless Truth Travel Pack which will have your skin back to its beautiful self in no time at all.

The Travel Pack is cleverly designed for any travel needs, featuring an innovative 3-in-1 system. As the pack contains three compartments, you can either pick and choose what you think your skin might need, or follow all the steps; it is really up to you. 

The first section is an oil-based makeup remover, making it incredibly easy to take off any and all makeup on your face, lips and eye (and yes, that includes waterproof makeup.) It does this while deeply cleaning pores, so your skin once again feels light and fresh. The second compartment is a deep cleanser with exfoliating ingredients, all of which help to soften and lift the dead skin off the face, leaving your skin feeling radiant and soft.  Finally, you are ready for the final step: Timeless Truth’s “Hydra-Soothing Moisturising Bemliese Mask.” The silk fibre nourishing mask helps retain moisture in the face’s tissues due to the hyaluronic acid it contains.  Overall, this tiny little packet will help your skin feel normal and beautiful again, and won't take up any space in your bag. What more could you want?

If this sounds like the solutions to your tired skin and travelling woes you can purchase the pack here for £8.90. 

Estée Lauder - Perfectionist Youth-Infusing Makeup SPF 25 and Sculpting Foundation Brush

Are you tired of beauty products lying all over your house? Estée Lauder’s Perfectionist Youth-Infusing Makeup SPF 25 combines two necessary beauty products into one; it’s a makeup that acts like a skincare treatment. I don’t know about you, but that sounds like it would make the morning regimens of everyone here at The Amazing Blog a little bit easier.

This makeup is infused with Estée Lauder’s youth-enhancing Perfectionist Serum technology that delivers real skincare results. With Advanced Amino Acids and Wrinkle Lift Restructuring Peptides, your skin can rebuild and form smoother, firmer looking skin while also reducing lines and wrinkles. Its Nourishing Moisture Complex quenches the skin with oil-free moisture, and the Intuitone Pigment Technology guarantees true-to-life shade matching by working with skin’s natural undertones. It will softly highlight and define facial features while brightening the skin. The best part? Its Priming Beads instantly fill lines so all of your imperfections will magically disappear.

Although your choice in foundation is important, how you apply that foundation is as equally important. Estée Lauder designed the new Sculpting Foundation Brush specifically for the new Perfectionist Youth-Infusing Makeup.

Its angled, ergonomic shape hugs the contours of the face and the synthetic and natural fibres create a seamless application and blending.

If you are looking to purchase the Perfectionist Youth-Infusing Makeup, you can take your pick from 22 long-wearing shades here for £37.00. The makeup is appropriate for all skin types and tones, and for the best results, apply to clean, moisturised skin using either your finger tips or the Sculpting Foundation Brush, which you can buy here for £37.00.
