A TONER I CAN GET ON BOARD WITH

So, toners. I've never known what they were for and they seem like a grey area in people's skincare routine. After a bit of research, I've found there is a large difference between the p(r)etty, floral face mist and a real toner.

A TOAST TO ORIGINS DRINK UP

Okay, let me tell you about my skin. It's combination, and it's extremely sensitive. From October to December, I was getting dry patches around my face even though the rest of it was quite alright. But I read (I think it was on That Grace Girl) that your skin can still be dehydrated even if its oily. So, I picked up the Origins Drink Up Intensive Mask and thank goodness I did.

First off the texture is like that of a thick moisturizer. I put a pea-sized amount on right before bed, and it doesn't feel like a clay mask, and there's no film when you wake up in the morning. You're meant to use it twice a week, but I slap it on whenever my skin is feeling a bit sad. Also, it smells like apricot, which I love!

Packaging wise, Drink Up is really, really nice. The tube stand up on its own and it a lovely green colour, a bit lighter that what is pictured. It packs 100ml and considering you only need a tiny bit per application, this should last me for months.

After using it about three times, I noticed a real difference in my skin. It was brighter, I was getting less blemishes and the dry patches were getting a lot smaller. After using it for a month, I have no spots, only some quickly healing scars where they used to be. Personally I think the the mask was the tipping point for better skin, because I have been eating healthier and following my skincare routine better too.

Overall, I love Origins Drink Up. It's done wonders for my skin, and I would say one of my top skincare products. Everyone raise your glasses to nice skin, and let me know what your top skincare tips are!

Little Pamper Session

Hello again!

Earlier this week, I had come home and I was extremely tired, my skin was really dry, and all I wanted to do was have some time to relax. So, what I decided was to have a little bath session, and I'd like to share it with you!

After filling my bath, I dropped in a Lush Golden Wonder Bath Ballistic (Heads Up; This is a very Lushed-up post, so bear with me!) This Ballistic is one of my absolute favourite products from Lush, so when the Christmas stock arrives, I always rush in to get these beauties. It has a champagne scent, which I love, and as it fizzes, it sends tiny little stars into the water, which is so pretty! 

See?  It makes the water an amazing blue colour!

After the Ballistic has fizzed out, I used the Lush Magic Wand Bubble Bar to add a some bubbles to my bath. These bubbles are scented with Snow Fairy, which adds such a lovely smell to the whole room! I always think having bubbles makes your bath a little fancier, and they make everything just a little bit prettier. Now that everything's fizzed up and bubbly, I'll light some candles, pop on a YouTube video or start reading a blog post, hop in and let myself unwind and relax. (I'm watching Zoella's: What's in my bag video & I love reading MadieGrace)

Bubble Bar pre-bubbles. 

I really love catching up on YouTube and Blogs in the bath. Just

make sure you do it where it won't fall in!

After I feel that my skin is soft and smooth, everything is off my mind, and I'm as happy as a clam, I'll get out, dry off, and this is the point where I decide to have a face mask. I'm using the Lush Cupcake Fresh Face Mask, which is amazing for teenage and oily skin. I leave it on for five minutes, wash it off and my face feels amazing, and smells like chocolate! With my session almost complete, I pop on my eos lip balm in Sweet Mint, because your lips need a little TLC too.

Mmmm! Only thing better than eating chocolate is

putting it on your face!

Although I love all my eos products, this one 

I think is the most hydrating.

And that is my mini pamper session complete! I hoped you like it, and I will see you next week. I you'd like to see anything in particular post-wise, please let me know in the comments! Goodbye!
