Zephorium - Aura Sprays and Body Oils

Here at The Amazing Blog  we like to follow the 'Mind over Matter' motto and that is why we love the Zephorium line of Aura Sprays and Body Oils. The motto over at Zephorium is “Change your thoughts… Change your life” and what a better way to start your journey to a better life than with positive thoughts and delicious scents?

Packaged in coloured crystal bottles to match the specific chakras, the Zephorium line is just heavenly. Each bottle,  whether it is the Aura Spray or the Body Oil is matched to a specific chakra point and comes with an uplifting affirmation. Over here at The Amazing Blog we liked the Clarity Vision Aura Spray which contains Frankincense and Patchouli,  for a sharp and soothing scent. It definitely helps to bring clarity to the senses when sprayed in your immediate environment. There are 7 other different varieties to pick from based on colour, chakra, properties, and aromatherapy. All of the various scents use the highest quality aromatherapy oils and are blended with vitamin e, sunflower, sweet almond and grape-seed oils, making them great for the skin too!

The Clarity Vision Aura Spray  and the other varieties can be purchased for £15 or you can get the whole set here  for £120.

Ancienne Ambiance - Goddess Waters

Working in an office can often be quite stressful for both body and soul, especially when the workload piles up and you don’t find the time to step away from the screen. However, here at The Amazing Blog  we have found the perfect solution in the Ancienne Ambiance Goddess Water. A unique product, the Goddess Water's uses range from a make up remover to a irritation soothing spray for pets and children. In soft Rose and calming Lavomile scents, we’ve been spritzing these heavenly waters left, right and centre in order to hydrate our skin and relax our mind.

Although the Goddess Waters are a bit of a multi-purpose product, we have found that they make a wonderful facial mist, with refreshing moisture just a spray away. Adding a glowing sheen to my stressed pallor, the Goddess Rose Water can also be used to reduce redness, acne, and skin irritations. Its antibacterial properties mean that we can use it as much as we like, with no worry of aggravating our skin. The Lavomile Water gets most of its use from us as a soothing room spray. The delicate blend of Lavender and Chamomile means it fills the office with a gentle scent, and is a lot more subtle than its floral rose counterpart, creating a much calmer environment in an often hectic office. So, if you need a rescue remedy, and want to try something a little different, let Ancienne Ambiance Goddess Waters restore inner, and outer peace to your work environment.

Both the Lavomile and the Rose Goddess Waters are available to buy here, both for £20.

Herra Protect - Hair Perfume

blog imageWe've all tried those shampoos and conditioners that claim to protect our hair, but until now, we would have never dreamt of doing it by spritzing a perfume onto our locks. Thankfully, we here at The Amazing Blog have discovered a way to thoroughly defend our hair, while adding a beautiful aroma to it. Herra Protect is an innovative hair perfume and finishing spray all-in-one. The goal of the spray is not only to shield hair from the elements, but also to hydrate and refresh strands with a brilliant fragrance. Inspired by Greek Goddess Hera, who was well known for her beauty, Herra Protect left us with silky, scented tresses, fit for the gods.

A combination of sunflower extract to protect from UV rays and combat colour fade, and olive fruit extract to guard from free radicals and pollution, make this lightweight perfume the perfect product for the city dwelling girls among us. As well as offering blanket protection for your hair, the unique aroma of Herra Protect is designed to mesh with the scent of both your daily perfume and body, making the fragrance individual to each person. Although I noticed that the scent held in my hair longer than most hair perfumes I have used in the past, for optimum results, Herra Protect suggest reapplying every 2-3 hours. Spraying hair this often may seem excessive, but the 50ml bottle lasts a long time and is the perfect size for carrying in your handbag, making reapplication much easier. Not only does Herra Protect complement my daily scent, but I can spray the weightless formula onto my hair throughout the day with no worry of build up. The tall glass rectangular bottle, engraved with gold accents and complete with black spray pump, looks like a perfume bottle, making for a great accessory on the dressing table. Protect your hair from harmful rays with a delicious scent by purchasing Herra Protect here for £24.99.

The Frankincense Store - Perfume Oils

blog imageWe here at The Amazing Blog are always game to try new and interesting scents. And if they’re moisturising and organic too, then they’re all the better for it! Used for its healing benefits for thousands of years, frankincense helps to combat everything from stress and insomnia to coughs and stomach pains. So when The Frankincense Store sent us a selection of their perfume oils, we readied ourselves to say goodbye to all our ailments, and hello to great smelling, stress-free living.

The Frankincense Store offers beautifully aromatic perfume oils with a roller ball applicator, allowing you to rub the potent fragrance directly onto your skin. As well as the benefit of leaving a powerful scent, the roller format also makes for a really handy travel companion, negating the worry that comes with sprays and aerosols. All of the fragrances have a very distinct scent, and our personal favourite, Almas, evokes memories of hot summer nights, with notes of cedarwood and mandarine making it a wonderful aroma for spring time. Made from 100% natural ingredients, these oils offer a fragrance that lingers all day, and, unlike alcohol based scents, are really moisturising on the skin – perfect for those dry summer evenings.

With an array of different fragrances to choose from, The Frankincense Store products can be purchased online here for prices ranging from £10 to £13.50. Our favourite, Almas, is available for £10.

Mimi & Me - Signature Body Creme & Solid Perfume

sarahs wednesdayMimi & Me are a brand who pride themselves in creating artisan, handmade products that you won’t find just anywhere. They also had the inspired idea to combine aromatherapy with divine fragrances in all their products. So when they sent The Amazing Blog a selection from the brand to try out, we jumped at the chance. Our favourites include the Signature Perfume and Signature Body Creme, which left us feeling soothed and smelling pretty wonderful!

Here at The Amazing Blog, we love natural brands, and Mimi & Me tick all the boxes, boasting all natural, responsibly sourced ingredients and environmentally friendly packaging, just to name a few. Delivering equal parts quality and sustainability, these products did their jobs perfectly, whilst filling the office with the most beautiful fragrances! The Signature Perfume, a solid fragrance with notes of cinnamon and frankincense, packs quite a potent punch, with the scent transporting me back to Christmas mornings of my youth. However, the star product for me was the Signature Body Creme. With a beautiful fresh yet spicy fragrance, the rich creme left my skin feeling soft, supple, and not at all greasy, despite its thick consistency. Containing Aloe Vera and Apricot Kernel Oil, the 120g jar of creme is gorgeous when layered with the Signature Perfume, and equally lovely when used alone. The intoxicating scents and soothing aromatherapy qualities are just what the doctor ordered for that relaxing, indulgent evening at home. The natural ingredients are just the icing on the cake. The collection is available to buy here, the Body Creme retailing at £12.99 and the Signature Perfume at £25.
