Origins

Two posts and it's not even lunch time yet!

I have a little bit of spare time in between watching Friends in my pj's all day and working through my university assignments so I thought I'd squeeze in a bit of time for this blog seeing as I've promised myself to keep at it!

I've wanted to write up this post for a little while now because it's about pretty amazing stuff! Origins. 

"Our mission at Origins is to create high-performance natural skin care that is powered by nature and proven by science." 

If you're not aware of the skincare Origins offers I suggest you have a read of their website, really great stuff.  Over a month ago I purchased my first two products from Origins;

Top seller GinZing- a refreshing eye cream to brighten and depuff 

I suffer from really bad under eye circles, which has really only become a problem for me in the last 6 months. I've tried so many eye creams that promise amazing results and every time I find myself wasting my money and actually worsening my under eye problem. This Origins product was £21.00 and was admittedly the most I have spent on a eye cream of its size! It's very small but I have been using this every day for the over a month now and it still looks brand new! You only need a small layer of the stuff like any eye cream and this honestly works wonders! I would say its quite a thick consistency but if you still to the recommended amount it suddenly becomes very thin and light!  I understand that my dark circles will never completely disappear but controlling and soothing them with a product like this- I am happy with that. 

and Clean Energy- a gentle cleansing oil.

  

If you live in the UK then you will be familiar with the awful cold weather we are having at the moment. My worst nightmare FYI. I really have a lot of beef with cold, miserable weather. But anyway, because of this my skin is dryer than usual so I turned to this cleansing oil! First things first, it smells amazing! Personal opinion, but I love it. This picture was taken recently and as I said before I have been using both product continuously for well over a month, so you can see that a little really does go a long way! This product is £19 and makes my skin feel refreshed and so so smooth after I use it. I generally use this before bed as I don't have the time to use it in the mornings and having a layer of oil on my skin doesn't do my make up any good- just slips right off! 

Really happy with my products, but particularly how long they last. I know I have only them for over a month, but when I say I have been using them religiously-I really have! I ordered a moisturizer the other day (fingers crossed the lovely postman will bring me it today) and I'm so excited to use that as I have read raving reviews. 

Happy Saturday x
