Origins Moisturiser and Eye cream Review

After using these moisturiser and eye cream for several months now I feel like I can give a decent review.


The Origins Make a Difference Plus Rejuvenating moisturiser, contains Rose of Jericho, Lychee and watermelon which all aim to boost moisture deep within dry and dehydrated skin.
I am not exaggerating when I say that this moisturiser has saved my skin, it was dry and dehydrated with bad texture. I have used this morning and night since the beginning of September and it is coming to an end now (would have lasted longer but I knocked onto the floor, sob). I have also re-bought this since the last one finished which says A LOT. The scent is divine, as per for most origins products, and the texture is perfect. It is easily applied and quickly absorbed making it ideal for under makeup. Another benefit of this moisturiser is that it is oil free so it doesn’t clog my pores in my temperamental T zone.
And because it is origins it is made without any nasties (parabens, mineral oils, etc etc). This product is priced at £34 which may seem a bit steep but it has lasted me for so long it is totally worth the money.

Another reason I love Origins is that they occasionally have freebies, I got a ‘small’ sample of the GinZing eye cream. I’m not sure how much you get in this little pot, but this is definitely a sizable product that will last me a while. The product contains caffeine, ginseng and magnolia which awakens and refreshes your eyes. Now I have never used an eye cream before so I haven’t got much to compare it too, but as long as it moisturising and improves the appearance of my zombie eyes I am sold! And that’s exactly what it does. It is so cooling and rejuvenating in the morning and soothing at night, I really think it has improved the skin around my eyes dramatically, making it less dehydrated and tired looking. It has a peach tone to it and is great for the mornings as it counteracts the dark circles and it has some reflective particles which also help.

Overall I am sold on both of these and have loved every origins product that I have ever tried, my love affair with this brand will hopefully never end.


My morning skincare routine will be up on Wednesday :)

Busy as a Bee.

So hello internet, I am aware that I have been AWOL as of recent months and my only excuse for this is that life got in the way.

Now this really is a pitiful excuse so I will justify it a little bit further; medicine is a very hectic degree to manage, as is a relationship, a social life, anxiety and sometimes just picking what to wear can be a time consuming event. But this attitude is going. For this year I really wanted to change quite a lot of things, mainly my attitude towards life and daily tasks/work I have to do. This includes my blog which I have immensely missed which surprised me and I am really going to try to get some regular posts out into the world.

To keep me focussed I have found motivational pictures and quotes very helpful and I thought I would share a few with you in case anyone out there is in the same pickle.

Love

Naomi :)
