Pevonia’s EyeRenew™ Conceal & De-Age Treatment

Here at The Amazing Blog are always on the go and we don’t plan on slowing down anytime soon! Too much screen work and late nights have begun to take a toll on the delicate skin around our eyes and we're showing signs of stress, sleep-deprivation and the dreaded ageing. So you can imagine how happy we were to receive the new EyeRenew™  Conceal & De-Age Treatment from our trusted friends at Pevonia to hopefully come and save our day.

As mentioned, late nights and long days with our eyes glued to our screens have started to have an effect on how we look and feel. We all struggle with dark circles, puffiness, wrinkles and how to conceal and refresh our tired eyes. This is why we loved the EyeRenew™ Conceal & De-Age Treatment;  it's one easy-to-use formula that conceals and de-puffs, thanks to an oil-free mineral tint,  while also smoothing any fine lines or wrinkles. We have found this to be an invaluable repairing eye contour treatment that gives a flawless finish. We also noticed that it has some great light reflective qualities, that helped to give a dewy and rested appearance to the eye area. The slim tube fits into a pocket to take on-the-go and reapply taking you through from day to night.

We've always been fans of Pevonia’s approach to skincare, where science meets nature. So it's good to know contained in this product is a natural blend of enriched plankton extract sourced from Tenerife, marine collagen and hyaluronic acid, all to revive and instantly refresh for a youthful glow. The EyeRenew™ Conceal & De-Age Treatment is free from the ingredients we don’t want near our eyes like mineral oil, lanolin, parabens, alcohol and artificial fragrances and colours. Additionally, Pevonia does not test on animals and each treatment comes in fully recyclable and biodegradable packaging. The EyeRenew™ Conceal & De-Age Treatment is available here for £57 and you'll receive a free gift with every order.

Correct & Conceal – ReCover

Everyone suffers from an uneven skin tone at one point or another, it's completely inevitable, but that doesn't mean that it can't knock your confidence. We here at The Amazing Blog fully understand the struggle and toll an uneven skin tone can have on your self-esteem, so we've decided to let you in on our little blemish secret; ReCover. ReCover's Correct & Conceal is our must have product for red skin as it instantly corrects and conceals uneven and red tones.

The Correct & Conceal uses yellow-toned pigments to cover facial redness seamlessly. The product is thin but packed with pigment, making it untraceable and leaving you with an even finish. The benefits of this product are seemingly endless, with promises to conceal thread veins, disguise flushing, tone down sunburn and neutralise high colour.The product comes in an array of shades, from Very Light through to Deep Tan. The diversity in this range is one of the reasons that the product is so perfect, and we love that if you are unsure of which colour will suit your skin tone best, you can purchase a discovery pack with three potential shades. What’s more, their products are free from parabens, sulphates, fragrance, propylene glycol and animal-derived raw ingredients. 

The founder of ReCover, Annabel Jardella, is an expert makeup artist who has spent 25 years working on films such as Sense & Sensibility and Gladiator and teaching at the UK's leading makeup academy. In fact, Annabel learnt how to perform camouflage makeup after a cooking accident scarred her feet at the age of 16. It is, therefore, no wonder the product is so effective at colour correcting in a natural way. This product is easy to use at home or on the go, without having to rely on the thicker and heavier concealing products previously on the market.

Eye Feature - Friday Favourites

Now we don't know if eyes really are windows to the soul, but at The Amazing Blog, we do know that eyes can be very telling! Puffy eyes reveal a lack of sleep, bright eyes allude to healthiness, and panda eyes say that maybe you had a little too much fun last night! As such, we have decided to dedicate this Friday to some of our favourite products and all of them are items that we believe really help our eyes tell the story we want!

The first miracle product is Skinshop's Dry Eye Concealer. If you have any pesky little imperfections you want to hide then this is the concealer for you. While it easily conceals any dry, red and flaky areas around the eye, it also helps to treat them!

The concealer is able to treat these issues because of two key ingredients; Cardiospermum and Biolin. Cardiospermum is a natural ingredient that helps calm dry and irritated skin. Whereas Biolin, which is a skin prebiotic, helps repair damaged skin by feeding it healthy skin flora, so it injects and traps a much-needed boost of moisture to your under-eyes.

This concealer comes in a natural skin tint that will brighten the under eyes. To use this product, apply dots under the eye using either a finger or the silky brush applicator and blend to achieve the best results.

Concealer is a great trick to keep the area around your eyes looking youthful. You can purchase the Dry Eye Concealer here for £11.95.

Eye serums can give fantastic results if you incorporate them into your daily skincare routine, and we think that NCN is producing one of the best we've ever seen. Their Eye Fix is a fantastic product for producing more youthful looking skin in the surrounding areas, which helps to make your eyes seem brighter and clearer. The roller-ball serum is a combination multiple peptides and actives, full of antioxidants that help protect and repair the delicate surrounding skin. Eye-Fix contains a lot of ingredients that work to moisturise and smooth the skin without making it too heavy. The stars in this product are Regu-Age and Eyeliss, ingredients that contain an abundance of Vitamin E and antioxidants that help protect and rejuvenate the collagen in the skin and increases the oxygen levels in the eyes delicate tissues.

This product is so easy to use and will quickly become a part of your routine.To apply, simply sweep the roller-ball around the eye and lightly pat into the skin with your finger. For best results and to start feeling the benefits straight away, we suggest using this twice a day. NCN’s Eye-Fix is suitable for all skin types and ages, and we think the earlier you start looking after your skin the better the results will be as you age. So if you are looking to delay the effects of ageing, then this is the product for you. It truly is brilliant for long-lasting hydration.

You can buy NCN’s Eye-Fix here for £17.99.

Last on our list is the Prickly Pear Eye and Face Elixir from URB Apothecary. The elixir is comprised of three oils; pomegranate seed oil, rosehip oil, and cold-pressed organic prickly pear seed oil. The prickly pear seed oil is a super ingredient as it contains 150% more vitamin E than argan oil. We loved that the oil absorbs quickly, and the fatty acids and antioxidants penetrate deep into the skin.

This product is excellent at brightening dark spots, fading hyperpigmentation, and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. It can be used by people of ages, as well as to address a multitude of issues. It's excellent for problem skin especially as the rose, clary sage, geranium and helichrysum essential oils help balance the skin's natural oils while encouraging new cell growth. You only need a few drops to cover the face so the elixir lasts a long time, which is always a plus in our books! To apply simply tap the oil gently onto the skin under the eyes and use your ring finger to blend in upward strokes.

You can get the Prickly Pear Eye and Face Elixir by URB Apothecary here for £69.03.

Skinshop - Conceal & Shield Pen

As all acne sufferers know, finding a concealer that both blends well and doesn’t clog our pores and make our acne worse is next to impossible. When a product comes along that can both cover blemishes and heal them, it’s hard to contain the excitement that ensues. We here at The Amazing Blog have found that magical combination in Skinshop’s new Conceal & Shield Pen.

This concealer uses Teflose®, a natural new ingredient that creates a thin coating over your skin to prevent bacteria from getting in and reduce inflammation. So not only will this product keep your acne from being seen, it will actively heal while you wear it. Conceal & Shield also contains prebiotics that work to heal acne from the inside out by saturating pores with good bacteria. Skin probiotic Biolin® works to heal the skin barrier and fight off any remaining acne bacteria, so the more you use this concealer, the better your skin feels.

Even with the teflon-like coating, Conceal & Shield doesn’t feel heavy on the skin and blends naturally. It has a fine brush applicator built in for easy use and comes in four shades so that acne sufferers of most skin tones can reap the benefits of this unique product.

If you suffer from acne and are in search of the elusive concealer that can both heal and cover, look no further than Skinshop’s website here, where Conceal & Shield can be bought for only £11.95. 

I’ve got the Vibe!

I am unofficially known, by my friends as a bit of a ‘gadget queen’. Yes, and I’m happy to admit to being generally seduced by a few of the new technologies. Like a child in a sweet shop I find anything that promises a bit of techie wizardry totally irresistible.  Enter HD Brows Vibe & Eye.  This is the first of its kind; the Vibe & Eye Smoothing Serum is unlike any of its competitors. The Serum gently soothes the eye area while the Vibe sends ultrasonic vibrations into the surrounding skin. Created especially to refresh and revive tired eyes, by stimulating blood flow and circulation, the HD Brows Vibe de-puffs eye bags and tightens the skin tissue around the eye and brow area - perfect for perking up weary peepers. The HD Brows  brand has lots recent media buzz and when they launch a new product, everyone knows that whatever it is - it will deliver exactly what it promises.  With the dynamic partnership of beauty experts Karen Betts  and Nilam Patel behind HD Brows - you know that whatever they create will be something very special indeed. Having established themselves as pioneers in the beauty industry with the introduction of both the revolutionary HD Brows  treatment – a seven-step, salon-based treatment that achieves flawless brows; and the prized Eye & Brow Palette! , they have now turned their expertise further afield.

Creator, Nilam Patel said: “My celebrity and TV clients love the Vibe. It’s perfect for de puffing eye bags and reviving tired skin around the eyes. It feels refreshing and makes them look they look like they have had a good night’s sleep so they look perfect for camera.”

The Vibe & Eye Smoothing Serum  was developed after many of the HD Brows clients felt that baggy and puffy eyes let their new eyebrows down following the treatment.   Interestingly, I found that when I gently massaged with the Vibe&Eye (rrp £39.95) around my eye and brow area, it felt very pleasant and was a surprisingly relaxing experience. Definitely recommended if like me you’re a bit bleary eyed in the mornings.
