❤ORIGINS❤ Clear Improvements & Drink Up Intensive Mini Reviews
Hi Beauties!
Tonight's post is going to be a complete rave
about two amazing face masks... yep you guessed it ;) Origins Clear
Improvements & Drink Up Intensive! Both masks
have certainly got themselves a fantastic name throughout the beauty industry
and blogosphere. Origins are well know for their amazing skincare, but even more
so for their super duper amazing face masks. I wanted to feature these products
together with mini reviews first of all, as I have been using them for a few
weeks now. However, I will also be doing more in-depth single reviews in a few
months time, so make sure you keep and eye out for them lovelies. Firstly, I
purchased the Clear Improvements mask purely on blogger's
recommendations, and then I purchased Drink Up
Intensive, as I totally fell in love with a sample I got with my
Origins order. I have been using my Clear Improvements mask on a Sunday
night to completely clear out my skin from the previous week, and then I have
been using my Drink Up Intensive to
give me that much needed mid-week boost. Since using these masks in conjunction
I have honestly noticed such a big big difference in my skin, and I'm just
annoyed with myself that I didn't get around to trying them both sooner.
However, I will quit with my rambling! because I'm sure you would much rather me
get into the review haha! Hope you enjoy lovelies, and I would love for you to
leave your comments/links in the comments section below.
Origins Clear
Improvements Mask £22.00
The Origins Clear Improvements Mask is designed
to completely clean up the skin. The active Charcoal within this Mask acts as a
dirt magnet to completely de-clog your pores, which leaves your skin totally
clear. The White China Clay also helps to absorb pollutants, and lecithin
dissolves impurities. If you are looking to clarify your skin, then this mask is
an absolutely the right one to go with. I have been loving using this mask on a
Sunday night to completely cleanse my skin from the previous week, and to make
sure that any build up has been completely removed for the week
ahead.
The mask has a thick consistency and is very Dark in colour (Might be something to do with the Charcoal haha) - Once applied it does set quite hard on the skin, but I quite like this as it feels like it really is pulling the dirt right out of your pores. Despite it being quite a heavy mask I find that it washes off quite easily, and its best to open the pores with a warm flannel..then close the pores with a cold splash after applying the mask. Overall, this mask is absolutely amazing and does exactly what it says on the tube!

Origins Drink Up
Intensive Mask £22.00
After using up a
free sample of this mask I can definitely see why it is one of Origins all time
best sellers. I was instantly sold on the gorgeous peachy scent, but after a few
uses I realised it had much more to offer than just a pleasant smell. Japanese
Seaweed helps to repair the skins barriers to help prevent dehydration, as well
as creating a moisture reservoir for the next day.
I tend to use this
maximum of twice a week to really give my skin a much needed mid-week boost, so
this is usually my Wednesday mask haha! I use a thin layer just before bed, and
its creamy formula makes it a luxurious bed time treat. Even though this mask is
quite thick and creamy it does sink in to the skin really nicely, without
leaving any residue at all. I wake up the next morning with plump, radiant and
beautifully moisturised skin. I would recommend this mask for all skin types as
even oily skin needs to be kept moisturised. I think that together these masks
are (expensive) but an amazing way to give your skin exactly what it needs... a
good clear out, but also a good treat.
Overall
?
Without a doubt two
of the best face masks I have ever used! they are expensive at £22.00 but I
would say 100% worth it. They both have something to offer, but more importantly
they deliver exactly what they say they do. Origins now do smaller sizes of
these masks, so you can get 50ml for £11.00 plus some free samples on the
website. If you are more oily then I would definitely go for the Clear
Improvements, and I would honestly recommend the Drink Up Intensive for all skin
types. If you are combination like me, then you will definitely appreciate both
masks. I honestly couldn't pick a favourite, as they are both so amazing! - My
skincare routine has never been better thanks to these beauties.
