This adorable UK brand is coming to a Shoppers store near you soon my fellow Canadians! Click read more to see my thoughts and photos for this new affordable skincare range.
About the Brand
UK based skincare brand Amie will be popping up at some of your local Shoppers Drug Mart locations! They are a in-expensive, high quality brand of skincare that targets those who have more problem prone skin that is still sensitive to many elements. They are 100% cruelty free & suitable for vegans. They also do not contain any mineral oils, parabens or sulphates. They use botanical/natural ingredients which means that most products are 95% natural.
Packaging/Ethics

The packaging and bright and cheerful. Easy to read and in general just super cute for anyones counter. Even though the products only range from $6.50-$12 they feel sturdy and well made. They all have amazing scents due to their natural origins. I do enjoy the fact that they are fully vegan and pH-balanced. I myself am not a vegan but I know that many customers are going towards this and it will be a nice product to add into that market.

Cost: $10CND

This product smells so fresh! It isn't as gritty as what I usually like, but it still left my skin feeling very clean. It contains blueberry seeds to gently exfoliate the skin, green apple & lemon to help with oiliness and to purify the skin. Overall it is a great little product and for $10, you can't beat the price!

Now I have an issue with hoarding/"collecting" types products, and one of those is face masks! I am obsessed with them. This one has a peppermint in it, to give an amazing cooling feeling to the skin. It uses kaolin clay to help absorb impurities from the skin.
Okay so I used this bad boy on my face the other day and I was honestly...not as impressed as I was expecting to be. The first 5 mins my eyes watered because the peppermint was soo strong, and my face felt slightly on fire...I am going to give this another go in a week or so. Results wise, my skin felt O.K. I am so sad, because it sounded to promising :(. Heartbreak! Maybe I am just too sensitive to the peppermint, and my skin is not super oily. I will have an oily friend test it and report back here with the results!

I can't get over how pretty this smells. It is fresh and light, I am super happy with it. It contains rosehip oil to help with dryness. I found that it absorbed very quickly and left the skin feeling hydrated but not sticky or overly shiny. It doesn't have major fancy ingredients but for basic moisture it is very nice.

Now this cream is probably the only item I was kind of underwhelmed with. I mean scent was still okay, but I didn't love the texture. I am a drying skin, and I felt like this didn't sink into my skin very well. It felt almost like there was a film over my face. It could be different for a more oily skin, I will be passing this on to my younger sister to see if it works better for her combination skin.
