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

SHOPPING-ORIGINS HAUL

ORIGINS SKINCARE HAUL:

Good afternoon Little Ones! Rise and shine! For the majority of you, you've just come back from the Christmas break, and heading back to either, School, College, University or work. I took to Instagram and a tone of people wanted me to write a blog post of what I purchased the other day, a mini haul.
I've never written a haul on this blog before, so I have no idea how I'm going to layer it out, I think I'm going to state what the products are, and why I purchased them; whilst interjecting lovely photographs.
Without and further or do, let's get on with the haul!





MAKE A DIFFERENCE-PLUS+ MOISTURISER: 

Fundamentally, I originally went into Origins to purchase a moisturiser, anything extra was a bonus product. My skin has been exceedingly dry recently, and my typical Clarins moisturiser wasn't doing the job; my skin was angry with the weather, cracking up, and  dry patch galore. The breaking point was when it took me 30 minutes to apply my foundation, enough was enough! It was time to venture out into the world of creams. Seeing that I own several Origins products, and I've never had a negative experience overall; I thought that they were my port of call. I headed into my local John Lewis, and dashed over to the Origins counter, a lovely lady greeted me, and I told her what I needed. I loved that she was so relatable, and showed me several moisturisers which would benefit my extremely dry skin. She let me try the products before purchasing, and I adored the texture, really thick and nourishing for the skin; which sounded perfect, just what I needed. 





NEVER A DULL MOMENT SCRUB: 

But, I suddenly thought, how am I going to diminish my dry patches? Moisturising will aid the issue, but won't get rid of them on a permanent basis. My Clearasil pads were great, but after a while, they really started to suck the moisture out of my skin, (which is what I think caused this entire fiasco). I started asking the woman, what would be best to exfoliate my skin? I have very dry skin, as you already know; but I also suffer with sensitive skin, she automatically whipped out this product; the packaging is exquisite, and the product itself smells heavenly! Again, she let me try before purchasing, just to see if I liked it, and you guessed it ... I did! I'm not going to go into too much detail, as I want to write a full on review, and demonstrate how I use this in a future video; but it was worth the purchase! 







HIGH-POTENCY NIGHT-A-MINS CREAM: 

Lastly, before I was about to purchase my products, it occurred to me that I don't have a dedicated night-cream, but before I could say anything she handed me a free full sized product, which just so happened to be a night-cream, for dry skin! This was protocol for them, but she tailored it to my specific skin type; which I really appreciated. It was also the product she was recommended me, when I entered the store; so I know that she was being genuine.
I was extremely satisfied with my purchases, and I've booked in a facial, as I think their may be a mask that'll enter my skincare collection. Overall, these products were worth my hard earned money, and purchasing skincare is something that's always made me happy. I adore hunting for new products, I just which my skin wasn't such a nightmare to work with!





That's it for today's blog post! And yes, it's laid out differently, I want to experiment with my Blog before I undergo re-designing it from the ground up; please tell me what you think, and if you have any suggestions on what you want it to look like, use the comment section down below, or my social media handles. I also hoped you enjoyed this read! Not something I normally write about, but I love that I tried something new, if you want more hauls, then you know what to do!
I have another blog post coming out Wednesday, you can expect a product review on one of these beauties!
I love you all so very much! I will see you very soon! Stay safe and stay tuned Little Ones! :) x x x

ORIGINS OUT OF TROUBLE MASK REVIEW

Good afternoon Little Ones! Now that I'm wide awake, I thought that I would start the day with a good old fashioned blog post! I'm currently sitting up in bed, trying not to sneeze on my laptop; yes the flu has taken over me, but I'm perusing on! I took to Instagram and Twitter, and yet again you wanted a product review, so I'm giving you just that. I've already filmed a video on this product; if you want to watch that then click here! If not you might as well stay here! Anyhow, let's get on with the blog post!






THE PACKAGING:

Well hello! Their iconic oak tree stables Origins, it's simplistic yet pristine, it doesn't appear to be cheap in the slightest; maybe medical? But that's not a bad trait to obtain, especially  for a skincare company. Is it the BEST packaging I've seen? No, but it's definitely not the worst, it's simple, that's all there is to it I'm afraid, if you came here for an essay in this department, your going to be disappointed. But something I will mention about the packaging aspects is the tube, and funnel ... The tube makes it easy to travel with as it's not bulky or awkward to pack. In relation to the funnel, (where the product comes out of); it's the perfect size, that may sound strange; but I've used other products where it's TINY; and it takes FOREVER to squeeze the product out of the container. But I don't have that issue with this, it''s something so slight; but for me that could ruin the overall performance of the product. 

THE PRODUCT: 

Now onto the main event! How does this product perform? Let's say a little goes a long way, I've had this product for nearly a year, and I use it at LEAST once a month, and there's still more than half in the container; so if you are hesitating at the price, this will last you for at least a year, so keep that in mind.
Once applied to the skin it feels refreshing, and there's no pungent aroma attached either. I know with some skincare products this can be a massive issue, but not with this product. When applying the product it glides on like a dream, doesn't clump up, and doesn't slide off the skin; it stays put! A short amount of time on the skin and it starts to tingle, but it's not painful, the only way to describe it, is that it's doing something to the skin; without causing irritation to the skin, eyes, nose or mouth area.
After around the 10 minute mark the mask it utterly dry, but it doesn't make your skin feel like the desert; which is always a plus. When it's time to take it off, you have to remove it with a wet towel or you will have to stand in the shower for a while; making sure there are no bits still attached to the skin-believe me I've been there.
Now for the part you want to hear ... When you run your hands over you face, it feel SO SMOOTH! It removes the dead layer of your skin, as well as getting into the pours and cleaning them out. If you have any spots, they disappear within a few days, honestly it really works, I had a beast on the side of my neck, and it went away within 3 days. But the result after I'd just taken the mask off, the spot had become less swollen, and the redness was nearly gone.
I've been using this mask for quite some time, and it never let's me down! 

THE PRICE: 

Now for the price reveal, before I state how much this is, you have to remember, if you suffer with severe acne you've probably spent hundreds of pounds to improve the skin. This products comes to a grand total of, £25. Which isn't too bad, it lasts nearly a year, controls acne, doesn't irritate the skin, and generally works.
Like I've mentioned in other blog posts, I'm not here to say if this is too much, or too cheap; whatever you feel that'll work for your skin, you can spend as much or as little as you want. This is just my personal opinion, and in my opinion it's worth the money, it's worked for me, and my partner; who does suffer with exceedingly painful acne.  

If you are curious to purchase this product, I'll leave a link below for you! 

That is it for today's blog post, if you have any recommendation then please do let me know.
I love you all so very much, stay safe and stay tuned Little Ones! :) x x x
