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

NEW HAIR NEW ME

MY NEW HAIR

Good morning Little ones, what have you got planned today? I know that I'm writing this blog post, filming a wacky video, prepping a revision blog post for tomorrow, and continuous food shopping; fun right?
Any how, I've recently had my hair cut and I thought that it would be a great idea to write a detailed blog post! It'll consist of: where I had it done, how much it cost, will I go back, as well as the important factor ... Do I like it?
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 hair montage!

BEFORE
AFTER


BEFORE AND AFTER:

After months of battling anxiety, it was time for the cut, I never knew how long my hair was, but it was annoying ... It would get caught in my armpit as I slept, which meant if I moved my head, tonnes of innocent hair follicles would come with it, (tragic).
Other than that, I wanted a change, I was bored of my hair ... I'm in the process or preparing for balayage, the healthier the hair the better. 
I did the typical thing when hunting for a new hairstyle, and hit Pinterest, (who wouldn't?), I saw the perfect length, but it was literally half of what I had, thinking about it made me anxious; so I took to Instagram and people loved the idea! It made me feel more confident with that I was about to endure. 
I headed to Stonehills and booked an appointment for Wednesday 17th January at 2:30pm. I was committed, nothing but enthusiasm and terror stalked me, until the time was up. 

The day of the appointment rolled around, I walked through the door, and was sat down in a flash ... Shortly after I met the eyes of my hairdresser. He was extremely cool and relaxed, I went through what I was looking for, and he said, "that would look great on you, but I can sense that you are anxious, I won't cut  that exact length YET, grow accustomed to the idea, and then in several weeks time when you are available, I can cut the other half, how does that sound?"
Automatically, my anxiety disappeared like a wave in the ocean, I loved that he was being so considerate and caring towards how I felt, I've visited hairdressers that would have never done that, the fact that he did; made me feel more comfortable with him, and how capable he was at this job. Seeing that he only looked 20, he was talented in the way he approached his customers.
Now time to put his scissor skills to the test.
He asked if I needed any replenishment's, which I replied, "no thank you", he took me over to the sinks to wash my hair, (which felt fantastic), we started talking about how I dyed my hair black, and what lead me to make that drastic change, he thought I looked "cool"; which I didn't take seriously because I'm a loser. We continued the conversation in the cutting chair, he told me personal information about himself, of which we had in common, he loved photography, and adored messy curly hair, which is what I try to achieve when I style my hair, so when I said he could do that, he was extremely pleased. As not many people go for that look.
I let his creativity dance, it was lovely to watch how passionate he was about his job, you don't see that often enough. 
45 minutes later and it was a new me, I couldn't express enough how much I adored this new hair style, but I could tell that he was just as content. 
He proceeded to grab my coat and place it gently on me, I walked up to the payment desk and obviously paid for the treatment. Jamie, the name of my hairdresser, concluded with what we were going to do next, which I was so happy with, I couldn't wait to go a little shorter and start the balayage process again. Overall, I couldn't be happier, I feel so much better, a little change like a haircut makes all the difference. I can't wait to see him again, and witness what he does next, his innovation is out of this world. 

WHERE DID I GO? 

I've only been loyal to one hairdressers, and that's Stonehills, I can always trust them to get it right, no matter what level they are ranked at. Normally I don't mind who does my hair, but now that I've gotten to know Jamie, I don't think I could let anyone else touch my hair.
This isn't the cheapest place, but I pay a higher price for a reason, you get exceptional service, as well as their hairstyle you want.
For, having my hair cut, washed, blow-dried, and personally styled was a total of, £40. Which is actually quite good, you could argue that Supercuts can do it for £14, but I've seen my fiance make that mistake, and they botched his hair ... You pay what you get for, and I'm not playing Russian roulette with my hair, thank you very much. 
I think we all know the answer to, 'will I go back?' Obviously yes! I've been going there for a while, and I've never hated what they've done. They were ranked number one in my hometown, which if that doesn't convince you; I don't know what will. 

Well Little Ones, this is the end of my blog post, I really do hope you enjoyed the read! I will see you tomorrow with an education blog post! Time to get that revision on check! If you want fantastic grades, then stay tuned! I know revision isn't perfect, but we need to do it! Plus, I'm going to show you ways in which you don't want to shoot it!
Anyhow, time to say goodbye, but I will see you tomorrow! Remember to stay safe and stay tuned! I love you so much! :) x x x
