00:02 - Hi, welcome to Style Solutions.
00:09 My name's Marina Lisht,
00:11 I'm the Associate Editor of nationalworld.com
00:14 and as ever I'm joined by Natalie Dixon, Lifestyle Reporter.
00:17 Welcome Natalie.
00:19 - Thank you.
00:21 - So today we're talking about something
00:22 I think is very exciting about Amazon Premium Beauty.
00:27 Now I have to admit that thanks to Natalie,
00:30 I now know more about this
00:32 'cause I didn't know that much about it before.
00:35 So before I go onto the products
00:37 that I am absolutely loving
00:39 and I think it's always important to talk about
00:42 products you specifically use and advocate.
00:45 Natalie, do you mind just sort of letting us know
00:47 a bit more about what it is, Amazon Premium Beauty?
00:51 I think it's pretty, hopefully self-explanatory,
00:54 but just to give us sort of our viewers a little bit
00:57 of an insider sort of if they don't know about it.
01:00 - So it's obviously everyone knows
01:03 if you want anything from Amazon,
01:04 you can basically get anything that you want.
01:07 Whereas the Premium Beauty is more kind of luxury
01:11 sort of brands that are on Amazon and available to buy.
01:14 And that is basically it in a nutshell.
01:17 So some brands that you would think you could only buy
01:20 in Selfridges or John Lewis or Debenhams back in the day,
01:24 they're now actually available on Amazon.
01:27 - Yeah, so moving swiftly on,
01:30 we're gonna talk about our specific favorite products
01:33 for Amazon Premium Beauty.
01:35 And actually, as I said, I've only discovered recently
01:38 that some of these products are available.
01:40 So I did actually buy this product recently from Amazon
01:44 and it is, I'm gonna show it up.
01:46 Hopefully you can see it, Natalie.
01:49 I know we've spoken a lot about it in the past,
01:52 but it is basically Kera Stars.
01:54 I mean, huge, over the years,
01:56 I've used a lot of their products.
01:57 And this one is called Kera Stars Chrome Absolute
02:01 Vincroma Respect, which is basically shampoo,
02:06 hydrant protector, and it's specifically for sensitized
02:11 or damaged color treated hair, fine to medium.
02:14 So as I said, I've used their products in the past
02:16 and I've used, I think it's a number one Kera Stars,
02:19 which I think is for fine dry hair.
02:22 And that's, I think, in a sort of creamy orange.
02:25 But I like this because, as I said,
02:28 I think I generally find Kera Stars really great for hair.
02:33 And I find this sort of leaves my hair feeling shiny.
02:37 And I do have dry hair.
02:41 And also I also use their conditioner as well.
02:46 But I tend to use the conditioner just at the ends
02:50 rather than all over because I have dry hair.
02:53 And I think it, I don't know, it just works better for me.
02:57 I just, maybe it's habit, I don't know.
02:59 Maybe I'm doing something wrong, Natalie.
03:01 Maybe I should be using it.
03:02 But I tend to use it from about here to the ends.
03:06 And I've just been really enjoying both the shampoo
03:10 and the conditioner and I highly recommend them.
03:15 So yeah, so those are my Hair Care Hero products
03:19 from Amazon Premium Beauty.
03:21 And then I'm just gonna move on to another product.
03:25 And it is basically called, for those who aren't familiar,
03:29 it's Kate Somerville.
03:31 And it's a goat's milk moisturizing cleanser.
03:36 Now I've been, look, actually I've hardly got any left.
03:38 So I might have to get some more.
03:40 But I've been using this for quite a while.
03:42 And actually, I have quite sensitive dry skin.
03:47 And I find this product's really good and really helpful.
03:52 I feel that sort of when I cleanse,
03:57 using it in the evenings,
03:59 it sort of wipes away makeup very well.
04:02 And I don't use it actually twice a day.
04:05 It says here you can use it AM and PM.
04:08 But I prefer to use it in the evening.
04:12 And yeah, I'm really liking it.
04:13 And I'm continuing to like it.
04:15 And I'm a big fan of that.
04:16 So Natalie, if you're looking,
04:18 'cause we spoke about,
04:19 I don't think you've tried Kate Somerville.
04:21 So if you've not,
04:21 - No, I haven't.
04:22 - Yeah, a great sort of beauty skincare cleanser.
04:26 And then before we move on to Natalie,
04:28 my final product,
04:29 and this is more of an unusual product to talk about,
04:31 but I think it's essential one that we use every day,
04:35 is a hand wash.
04:37 And it's Neil's Yard hand wash.
04:39 And specifically it is geranium and orange hand wash.
04:43 And on the bottle it says,
04:45 leaves your hands fresh, clean, and gorgeously scented.
04:48 And I have to admit the smell is just,
04:51 I love the smell.
04:53 And sometimes you just want
04:54 to have more of a luxury hand wash.
04:57 You just wash your hands
05:00 and you're left with that beautiful smell.
05:03 So Natalie, I hope I've convinced you
05:04 when it comes to my hero product.
05:07 Now I can't wait to hear about yours.
05:09 - Absolutely.
05:12 I think all of those are,
05:15 I've used Kerastase and the Neil's Yard
05:17 and I just think the smell of them is always,
05:19 it just smells of luxury.
05:20 So you always feel like you're getting a premium product.
05:23 So I will show you my favorite,
05:26 my top three faves at the minute.
05:28 Again, all available from Amazon.
05:31 So my first one is the Color Wow,
05:34 Dream Coat Spray.
05:36 Now this was created by Kim Kardashian's hairdresser.
05:40 So you know it's going to be good.
05:43 Basically, the Color Wow,
05:45 you just spray it over damp hair.
05:48 It protects against heat damage,
05:50 but it also stops any frizziness.
05:53 So if you go out in humid or a bit damp sort of weather,
05:56 it does keep your hair nice and sleek for longer.
05:59 So that is really amazing.
06:01 The also, the good thing about the products from Amazon
06:06 that I noticed was that a lot of them
06:08 are actually a lot cheaper
06:10 than compared to sort of Look Fantastic or even Boots.
06:15 For example, the Color Wow,
06:17 oh actually this one's the same price on Amazon
06:21 and Look Fantastic.
06:22 However, Boots did recently launch
06:26 their new premium haircare range,
06:29 which Color Wow products are available,
06:32 but you can't get the Dream Coat from Boots.
06:34 So that's already a plus for Amazon.
06:37 Moving on to my skincare.
06:41 I also went for a cleanser actually.
06:43 Bless you.
06:45 (laughs)
06:46 I think the good thing about cleansers,
06:49 again, you can use daily,
06:51 but if you like me use a lot of makeup,
06:54 then for you, the Clinique, take the day off.
06:58 This is a charcoal one, which I really, really like
07:01 'cause charcoal's really good for skincare.
07:03 But this one is massively cheaper on Amazon.
07:08 Just a quick brief, it is 19 pounds 67
07:12 and on Look Fantastic and Boots,
07:14 it's 34 pounds for 125.
07:17 So for this size, which is really big,
07:20 so it's a massive difference, nearly over like 10 pounds.
07:24 So yeah, I think literally use it as and when,
07:29 but perfect for anybody that has a lot of makeup,
07:32 wants to get rid of all of it,
07:33 especially waterproof mascara.
07:36 So yeah, that is definitely one of my faves at the minute.
07:39 And then lastly, my makeup product
07:43 that I absolutely swear by
07:45 is the Benefit Precisely My Brow.
07:50 Now, the thing I love about this
07:52 is the fact that you have,
07:54 I think the technical term is called a spoolie,
07:57 which is basically like a mascara brush
08:00 that you can just brush up your brows
08:03 and then you have almost like,
08:05 it's not quite as harsh as a pencil,
08:09 but then you just have the sort of color pen
08:11 just to fill in your brows.
08:13 And that, again, from Amazon is less than 20 quid,
08:18 whereas Look Fantastic and Boots, it's over 20, 25 pound.
08:23 So again, Amazon,
08:24 best place to buy premium beauty products, I think.
08:29 - Yeah, I totally agree. - Did not say it.
08:31 - The brow at Benefit, that's fantastic.
08:36 You've totally sold that to me, Natalie.
08:38 But yeah, it sounds incredible.
08:41 Yeah, so it's amazing the savings you can make
08:45 and you can get some really incredible brands on Amazon.
08:48 So hopefully you'll check it out soon
08:52 and Natalie, thanks as ever.
08:54 I really enjoyed chatting with you today,
08:55 talking about Amazon premium beauty
08:58 and I look forward to catching up with you again soon.
