 ORIGINS NEVER A DULL MOMENT SCRUB REVIEW:

Good evening Little Ones! It's time for a product review, it's been a minute but I'm back in the game! I'm in the middle of trying out several new products, but I want to ensure that I give them all a fair review; so they will eventually be released sporadically.
As you can tell by the title, I have a beloved Origins product! If you want to know my detailed opinion on this wonder, keep on reading!
To ensure you are keeping up to date with my daily blog posts, click here to read more! Without any further or do, let's roll on the review!



THE PRODUCT:

As we are all aware of by now, Origins produce and market exceptional products, before this face polish, I'd only dived into their mask and moisturiser pool. I originally needed something to combat the misbehaving dry patches swallowing my skin, I didn't use those exact words; as the consultant may have looked at me funny, but you get the gist.
She showed me several products and tested them out, but they weren't doing much ... Until she pointed out their staple holy grail product; which just so happened to be never a dull moment face polish. 
Automatically I fell in love with the vibrant orange package, it reminded me of a jumper my mother owned, she placed the product on my hand, the texture was peculiar, it held it's shape which I enjoyed-it meant that it was rich in texture, so heavy duty! If this didn't murder my dry patches, nothing would. 
A few weeks down the line and it's my number one facial scrub, if you have stubborn dry patches, this is the product for you, it's fantastic when I feel that my skin is going to be a pain, I use this before I apply my make-up, nothing irritates me more than dry skin clinging onto foundation. 
In relation to smell, it's enchanting ... Fresh fruit, and not the tacky fake aroma either, when you pop open the cap, it's like cutting open several ripe mango's; I adore rubbing this into my skin, even wakes me up in the early morning.  
Just to briefly mention, a lot goes a long way, as portrayed in the image above, that tiny blob managed to cover the entirety of my face ... Have you seen the size of my forehead? Enough said. 






THE PACKAGING:

I know, you normally see this segment first, but I'm switching it up on the blog! Anyhow, back to the packaging! Can we just take a moment to appreciate how luxurious and vibrant this product radiates. Simplistic is the key in my book, if you over complicate the packaging, my assumption is that the product quality isn't there; whereas Origins remain elementary, yet elegant ... It's screams Origins, without rubbing it in their audiences face. 
The contrast between the mango and white is fantastic, it enhances the rich colour of the natural papaya and mango, delves deep into their company ethics, and raw ingredients, hence the iconic oak tree as their staple logo. 
Something else to mention, the squeeze component is great for dispersing an even amount of product, and because of the formula is doesn't stick or get clogged around the edges, which I love!
I hate it when you fall in love with a mask, or scrub, and after a few applications, it looks like a murder scene. 


THE PRICE: 

This baby retails for, £26.50, it's up there in price, but I've spent more than triple to finally obtain the perfect product. I've been using this face polish for over a month now, and I've barely made a dent ... And I use it at LEAST 3 times a week, as portrayed in the pictures above, that tiny blob on my hand covered the entirety of my face. 
If you have extremely dry and sensitive skin like me, this will become your new best friend ... You can inform your former best friend that they've been replaced, they will understand why. 
I honestly haven't found a dupe for this product as of yet, but I've been on the hunt as I know not everyone can afford the high price point; but I will dry my best! 
On the other hand, it's really worth the splurge, it really does work, your skin feels like velvet! If you are hesitant, head into your nearest Origins counter, and get them to try it out on you, it'll be love at first sight!

That's it for today's blog post, sorry it was late, I've been busy doing some revision for my exam on Wednesday! I'm really looking forward to it ... Strange to say, don't judge!
Anyhow, I hope you enjoyed the read, I will see you again tomorrow with another blog post! It'll be a little adventure so stay tuned for that! 
I love you all so very much! Stay safe and stay tuned :) x x x

Neal's Yard Product Review

Nourishing Orange Flower Toner

If you want to keep up to date with that I do on a daily basis follow me on my social media above, and I'll be sure to follow you right back :).

Disclaimer: I have not been paid my Neal's Yard to do this review, I have done a previous review of their product, I'm just a fan of their brand.


Good afternoon beautiful people! I am in the back-garden, catching the sun rays! Hopefully I tan in time for France! I decided that I would finally write a review on the Neal's Yard Orange Flower Toner; this goes with the Nourishing intense night cream. If you want to see my review on the night cream click here.
I'm in love with this product, and it works beautifully with it's sister, (the cream). If you want to know further details about this product and my thoughts have a look down below :).   

if you want to read another review, click here!





PRESENTATION:

Breathtaking and enchaining. I am taken away with their iconic rich royal blue bottle. They are so opulent, because it's glass it makes it feel expensive and worth the money. It also shows that Neal's Yard cares about their containers and the way they present their products. For example, they could have easily put this product in a blue plastic bottle, but they didn't, as it would have appeared tacky, and wouldn't have linked to their brand in any way shape or form.
When you place this item in your hand you feel important and upper class; to obtain this product makes me feel content and pleased with my purchase, as I know that I have spent my well earned money well.
On the other hand, I love how Neal's Yard is so recognisable, for example, if people don't really know this brand they will be able to depreciate between this brand and another, and realise that this is outstanding; simply because their iconic blue bottles stand out of the crowd. When you look at this packaging you know it's Neal's Yard.
When Neal's Yard was developing into a well known brand they evidently put some hard thought and effort into what colours went well together. For example, they interject cream and black throughout their entire range, whether this is: hair-care, makeup, skincare etc. They are always consistent,
This gives me a positive impression that that they care about what their packaging looks like, they want it to look professional and beautiful; taking this much time and effort into your products and company, informs me that you care about what your customers are buying; thus the enchanting presentation. 
On the other hand, I feel that Neal's Yard logo is the meaning on love, nature and togetherness. The message behind this is, they use all natural and organic ingredients to create balls of happiness, and they do that without harming nature, or animals. In regards to the font, it's clear, which makes it easy for EVERYONE in the market to read, if you have poor eyesight you will still be able to understand what's being presented in front of you. Which makes me love this company even more; they have taken into consideration the eyesight of others; this is a caring and charming company; and their products are holy grail.

PRODUCT:

This is a facial toner, you use it after you have taken off your make-up, of before putting on your make-up/moisturiser. I have tried so MANY toners and they are mediocre; they do the job. They make my face feel fresh, but since using this toner it has made such a difference in my skin! It actually tightens my skin! I'm not worried about wrinkles or anything, I'm 19! But it not only refreshes my skin, it makes it additionally plump, silky smooth and tight! ALSO! Can I just talk about the scent! Holy mother of Jesus! This smells gorgeous! So much nostalgia is created when I swipe this across my face, it smells like fresh oranges used at Christmas time; it takes me back to the time where me and my mum would sit there eating oranges as fast as we could. Or much recently, sending me to the shops to buy her oranges as she's eaten them all :).
The scent isn't overpowering, and it doesn't effect my skin in the slightest, and I have very dry and sensitive skin. On the other hand, the ingredient neroli, (a type of flower oil essence), creates a comforting and subtle smell; which complements the orange even more. Also because of this flower oil it helps hydrate the skin, so the toner doesn't suck every inch of moisture out of you skin; this is what also makes it perfect for dry skin; this is made for dry skin. 

HOW TO USE THE PRODUCT:
I use this before I put on my make-up and when my make up is off my face.

  1. Make sure you have a clean face, use your desired facial wash;
  2. take a cotton pad, put the toner onto the pad and wipe around your face, make sure you take it down the neck;
  3. pad dry and wait for a few minutes, you want to make sure that the product goes into the skin before you apply moisturiser;
  4. put your favourite moisturiser on you skin gently.

PRICE:

This product retails for £16, you get a total of 200ml, you get so much product inside of this bottle! As shown in the pictures above I have rarely touched it! This is not the case, I have used this product everyday, twice a day for 3+ weeks! That's insane! A little does really go a long way, you don't need a lot of this product, otherwise it's waste; you can only use so much toner on your face :').
I feel that this is the perfect for yourself, or even a gift, it's very affordable and a great value for money.

Thank you again for reading this post and taking time out of your day to even look at my blog! I really do appreciate it! I still can't believe that you are interested in what I write; it's really overwhelming! In a good way :D. 
I will see you again tomorrow with a brand new vegan recipe, and hopefully my trip around London! 
I am thinking of starting to vlog soon, what do you think? I will keep posting on my blog :).
I love you all so very much, stay safe and stay tuned:) x x x

Product review

Mac Turquatic Perfume

Email: missamymcguire@hotmail.com


Disclaimer: I am not being paid by Mac Cosmetics, I have been a fan of this perfume for a year now and I absolutely love it. This is based on my opinion and my opinion only.

Good morning everyone! How was your weekend? Was it productive? I started my trail day of my new job yesterday and I loved it! I will write about my experience later on today in another blog post. 
If you are a Mac fan and love their products I'm sure you will like this review. If you haven't tried this perfume I suggest you do! :D
If you want to know my thoughts and feelings, and details about this product, look below and enjoy reading :)

PRESENTATION:

Can we just talk about how beautiful this packaging is?! The ombre blue, sinking into the green is enchanting and breathtaking. I have never seen anything like this with perfume packaging, it's innovative, and I'm so glad that a company has done something outside of the box. Don't get me wrong, I think the classical glass bottle and fancy writing is stunning; but this is extraordinary! Additionally, as you explore the bottle, the base has earthy green feathers, this clearly emulates seaweed; which is commonly associated with the sea. In regards to the cap on the bottle, the piercing teal green is beautiful and eye-catching; it looks like reflections of the sea surface; it brings back the memories of when I went to the aquarium center in London; and I could see what was essentially the ocean. On the other hand, the spray nozzle is fantastic, a little goes a long way! Which one pump so much perfume comes out, it covers the entire body. The pump action isn't stiff, it's smooth, and because the mental has been buffed it doesn't get stuck, unlike cheap perfumes. 
The glass element adds a sense of luxury, makes it evident that it's perfume, and also makes it clearer to see the ombre affect; it creates the illusion that you are carrying the sea. 
I love that Mac has embroidered their logo, this makes it evident that this is their product; anyone who looks at this will associate it with Mac, and think,'wow, this is a beautiful product, I wonder what else Mac creates'. This is what I thought, and I love their products. Additionally, I love the way they link the name of their product and portray this within the packaging; this shows that they are a well thought out business, and go outside of the box in order to compete with their market. 

THE PRODUCT: 

This is a well crafted perfume, we soon as you smell this scent it breathtaking and beautiful. At first it's sweet, but not in terms of actual sweets; you can tell that it's a feminine scent. It then takes you on a journey on a night out; it luxurious, sexy and mysterious. It's not overwhelming either, it doesn't smell like chemicals either, it's a natural scent. Let me put you in my perspective, it smells like when you are walking down the street, and a woman walks past you, and they smell like perfection; this is what it smells like. As well as this, it lasts a long time; although I use it a lot, as it's my go to perfume. I have used this non-stop for a year and I've purchased 3 bottles. 
When I spray this, it takes me back to the time when I first bought this. I was out in London, it was the 22nd of June/July and the weather in the UK was perfect! It was around 25-30! I have heard so many great things about this perfume so I decided to finally purchase it! I went into Selfridges and headed to the Mac counter, I saw at the till point that the perfume was there; I picked it up and bought it. I remember walking outside of Selfridges, the heat hit my face and to cool myself down I sprayed this on. It was sensational; the smell was breathtaking and purely amazing. It's my favourite perfume; like I said, this is my third bottle! 

PRICE:

The price of the 50ml is £39 on their website, but if you want the 20ml it's £23. This is a very affordable perfume, before I had bought this I never looked up how much it was, just because I assumed it would be around the £30-60 mark. When she said it was £30 I was shocked, it's really inexpensive for a high end fragrance; so I thought that this was a complete bargain. In the past year I have bought 3 bottles, but I've only recently bought the third, and I still have a tiny amount in my second. They also offer a roll on perfume for £16, which I also bought, and this lasted 5 months! I would normally apply that on my neck and wrists. 

All in all I think this product is a must have! This is my signature smell, it's what I'm known for. My boyfriend says, "this is my Amy smell"; this is what he associates me with, it would be strange if I wore anything else. 
I would HIGHLY recommend! Even if you are not into it, it makes a great gift for friends or family.
