L'Organiq - Hyaluronic Acid Triple Fruit Serum

As you’ve probably already guessed by now, we’re a little obsessed about our skincare regime.  After years of research on how to ‘feed’ the skin, we know that one of the most essential items is face serum. After all, it’s the first product that we apply day and night after cleansing and toning. They are an important product that put antioxidants directly into the skin, balancing and protecting our complexions. We also find that a serum is most effective when it has hyaluronic acid, (see here ) as this helps hydrate and strengthen the dermis. Today at The Amazing Blog, we’re thrilled to have found a new serum, the vitamin-enriched Hyaluronic Acid Triple Fruit Serum by L’Organiq. We particularly love their empowering motto of: ‘Be kind, be clean be beautiful’.

Emma Chevrel, the founder of L’Organiq, has always loved skincare but she never thought of having a beauty brand of her own. She was in a city career and she describes how her life was great back then. But, as Emma says, “Sometimes it takes a bomb in our lives to wake us up to what we’re really here for. That bomb for me was when, early in 2009, I was diagnosed with Grade 3 Triple Negative Breast Cancer.” Emma experienced skin problems as the treatments were intensive. Her skin became very sensitive and no skincare products could help her, so she decided to create her own with L’Organiqa brand that puts people and the planet first. The brand started in 2019 in Dorchester, where each one of their products is lovingly crafted to be cruelty-free and has organic ingredients. These are also carefully combined to offer antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-ageing results. L’Organiq offers a wide range of skincare, haircare and grooming products. Emma has also created a ‘return and reward’ scheme in which she encourages customers to return their empty bottles (free of charge) so that they can be recycled or reused. We also like their eco-credentials with a minimal carbon footprint using only UK based suppliers and 90% of the range produced in recyclable glass containers.

The Hyaluronic Acid Triple Fruit Serum is one of the three serums in their range. The first thing we noticed is that it is vegan, fragrance-free, with a clear and slightly gel-like consistency.  It also is oil-free and full of hyaluronic acid (which we love!)  The triple fruit extracts are: Cranberry which acts as an exfoliant and has vitamins like A and C help boost collagen production;, grapefruit which is also full of vitamin C and good for balancing the skin, whereas the raspberry protects from UV damage with antioxidants and ellagic acid keeping skin healthy and rejuvenated. These fruit extracts are the ideal combination for anti-ageing and a vitamin boost. The serum is also packed with vitamin B5 which keeps the skin quenched by absorbing moisture from the air and has anti-inflammatory properties to help heal the skin and leave it soft and hydrated.  Easy to apply, it comes in a 30ml glass bottle with pipette, we found that a little does go a long way. It was good for each of our different skin types; as it absorbed quickly and is nourishing enough to use alone - with the perfect texture and lightness to use in the current heatwave!  You can purchase your Hyaluronic Acid Triple Fruit Serum here for £26.00

Kaeso Beauty - Eye Believe

We at The Amazing Blog believe in many things. We believe that beauty is within every one of us, that a fresh cup of coffee in the morning makes all of our troubles go away, and that sunscreen is crucial to maintain healthy and young-looking skin. Today however, we’re saying ‘eye believe’ in oil-based make-up removers. Kaeso Beauty's recent launch of Eye Believe is every lazy beauty addicts dream, as a hydrating cleansing oil that removes even waterproof mascara. As a brand, Kaeso Beauty aims to use “naturally derived ingredients with essential treatment formulas to deliver effective and luxurious professional products”. This is something we can quantify, having tried their Heel Rescue and Foot Mask products (see here). We were therefore excited to try Eye Believe!

This product cleanses and moisturises at the same time, and thanks to the use of antioxidant and vitamin-rich ingredients, it won’t leave your eyes swollen and red. The use of cranberry, grapefruit and pomegranate creates a unique blend that leaves our skin feeling fresh, clean and moisturised. It is a perfect combination between a tough makeup remover and a gentle skin treatment, and even helps reverse visible signs of ageing. As we know, the eye area can truly reveal our age, so it’s crucial to treat the delicate skin around our eyes with non-stripping products. We found Eye Believe effective at doing just that, as a a gentle product, with a simple, fresh and subtle fragrance. It makes makeup removal feel more like spa time.

This luxurious product is suitable for all skin types and free from parabens, sulphates and mineral oils, making it a naturally fresh and healthy beauty treat. Furthermore, it is entirely cruelty-free and vegan-friendly. To try this eye-makeup remover for yourself, then you’ll find this professional product in many local salons. Alternatively, you can purchase it here for £9.80. Panda eyes no more!

Proganic

Proganic’s Superfruit Health Drink is one of The Amazing Blog’s favourite new juices. Each 100% Pure Organic Fruit Juice contains health benefits dependent on the fruit. For example, Acai is unusually high in manganese and rich in potassium. These attributes can help reduce the risks of diseases such as heart disease and cancer. Another example is the 100% Pure Organic Mulberry juice, which we got the opportunity to try recently. Pure Organic Mulberry is extremely high in iron. Interestingly, each 125ml bottle of Black Mulberry Juice contains the same amount of iron as an average sized sirloin steak.

These juices have no added sugars, water or GM ingredients, so they are great for an everyday fruit drink with a meal or even on-the-go. Not only are they refreshing and very healthy for you, but they are also bursting with flavour. These juices are filled with nutrients your body craves on a daily basis, and most of the flavours are even low-calorie.

Some of their other amazing fruit flavours include Cranberry, Pomegranate, Honeydew Melon, Sour Cherry, and Fig Juice. These fabulous juices can be found in certain wholesale shops or online. They come in 125ml, 250ml, 500ml, and 1 litre bottles. With the New Year rapidly approaching, what better way to get a healthy start by ditching the soda, and trying one of Proganic’s Superfuit Health Drinks - we promise you won’t regret it!

EE's Cosmetics Carrot and Cranberry Face Cream

 

Our fellow readers of The Amazing Blog may already know that we love all things organic and packed with goodness. Preservatives and harsh chemicals can be found in approximately 75-90 % of cosmetics such as make-up, lotion, deodorants and shampoos etc... these are absorbed by the skin and dispersed throughout the body by the bloodstream - leading in some cases to a disruption of the body's hormonal balance or even to breast cancer. At The Amazing Blog, we encourage our readers to invest in natural products, as the benefits are noticeable in the long run. Today's post is on EE's Cosmetics' Carrot and Cranberry Face Cream, The Amazing Blog's best kept secret.

EE's Cosmetics products are unique formulations designed to minimise the effects of Age has on our skin as well as repairing existing damage. They are hand made with the utmost attention only using carefully selected natural ingredients in therapeutic quantities and sourced only from the most reputable suppliers, and in limited batches ensuring maximum freshness. The Carrot and Cranberry Face Cream is rich in Macadamia, Argan, Baobab and Watermelon Seed Oils making this cream exceptionally nourishing and restorative - the Carrot and Cranberry extracts stimulate cell growth, improving the complexion and adding tone and elasticity to the skin. With the chilly days and constant weather changes, my skin has been feeling very dry and tight, and EE's Cosmetics Carrot and Cranberry Face Cream has completely changed the appearance and texture of my skin - its rich formula has made wonders for my skin. Besides, it smells delicious and not artificial at all.

At The Amazing Blog, we couldn't be more pleased with EE's Cosmetics products - they're natural, free from harsh and unnecessary chemicals, cruelty free and handmade.
