ORIGINS DRINK UP INTENSIVE OVERNIGHT HYDRATING FACE MASK {REVIEW}

Finally the US brand ORIGINS arrived in South Africa during 2022 

and having tried only one of their products, which I bought overseas, 

it's a brand that I would like to experience more of, 

especially on the "masking" front as they have several and they

 all sound amazing.

My intro to the brand was via their

GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream to Brighten and Depuff

and whilst I was a little underwhelmed with the product initially,

I soon warmed to it and enjoyed the refreshing feeling it offered over tired

eyes or after a late night or a long haul flight.

To read my full review

Just as I didn't plan to buy the eye cream I also didn't plan on buying

this Intensive Face Mask, yet I was swayed by the availability of

a 30ml Travel size.

This ultra-moisturizing sleeping mask claims to instantly delivers 

72-hour hydration.

Infused with Glacier Water that helps to deliver all day moisture,

 Hyaluronic Acid that acts like a skin-plumping moisture “magnet,”

and Avocado Butter, which is deeply nourishing.

I was pleasantly surprised by this mask, I enjoyed the non oily

creamy gel consistency, the fresh 

fragrance, but most of all I absolutely loved the cooling sensation

on the skin and if you keep it in the fridge it's super refreshing and

calming on those hot days, like the ones,

 that we're currently experiencing here in South Africa.

This vegan mask can be used on all skin types and I think men

would love the formula.

Apply twice a week or as desired, gently massage onto clean skin at 

bedtime and let this nourishing, superfood-infused hydration do 

its thing and wake up with a dewy skin in the morning.

I have even used this as my daytime moisturiser on those "no make-up"

"keep it simple" stay at home days.

As for 72-hours of hydration I wouldn't want to put that to the test, 

but if you are searching for an easy overnight, no rinse, leave on mask

 that gives your skin a power shot drink of both 

nourishment and hydration then this is 

THE ONE

and if you are time poor, when it comes to masking, then this is 

DEFINITELY THE ONE

 This has now has found a spot in my every expanding 

"Masking Wardrobe".

ORIGINS GINZING REFRESHING EYE CREAM TO BRIGHTEN AND DEPUFF #TBT REVIEW

Following its recent launch in South Africa I thought my original post on

this product, which dates back to November 2019,

 would be a good option for todays #TBT REVIEW.

*I do believe that this product has had a slight name change/reformulation

since I wrote my original review*

Enjoy!

~~~~~~

This product was rather a random purchase when I was overseas recently 

and was not on my UK Beauty Shopping List.

Part of the vast Estée Lauder Companies stable, Origins was founded in 1990 by

Leonard Lauder, son of Estée Lauder.

Unfortunately Origins isn't available in South Africa, but I have heard that 2020 could see

its entry into SA, so lets wait and see.

* Possibly delayed due to COVID it finally launched in SA - MID YEAR 2022 *

ORIGINS 

is a Clean brand and their mission is to create safe, high-performance products 

that deliver visible results powered by nature and proven by science.

 Being a brand that I haven't tried before I was simply drawn to this product by its name

 plus I'm a sucker for eye products.

It told me exactly what the product would do and after a couple of long haul

 flights it spoke volumes to my tired eyes.

I've since found out this this product is one of ORIGINS Best Sellers.

GINZING 

Refreshing Eye Cream

 to Brighten and Depuff

A refreshing eye cream that's formulated to brighten the eye area by diminishing the 

appearance of dark circles and puffiness.

 This morning-after eye cream claims to help reduces dark circles, unsightly bags, 

and puffiness. 

It's formulated with coffee beans, panax ginseng, magnolia extract, and natural optic

 brighteners to rapidly wake up, refresh, and restore radiance to tired eyes.

After several weeks of using I do really enjoy this peachy tinged product, but I can't say 

that it delivers on all of the claims above, not yet at least.

Whilst its lightweight creamy formula felt comfortable around my eye area, but I 

wouldn't recommend it for very dry skin, as I didn't find it to be overly moisturising.

 I can't say that I've seen any noticeable improvement where reducing dark circles or 

puffiness is concerned. 

However it does feel refreshing when your eyes feel tired or after a late night 

or a long haul flight and for that reason it's a keeper,

but I'm not sure I would re-purchase, maybe time will tell and this could be one for my

 Friday Follow-Up post in the future.

BEAUTY PRODUCTS CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW {NOVEMBER 2019}

Even though I say it myself this is a drool worthy line-up of products that are

under review during the month of November.

Only two of the 5 products below were planned purchases, the others were impulse

pick-ups whilst overseas recently.

You will also see that its an eye product heavy month, which is an indicator of

my main concerns with skincare at the moment.

1.

Omorovicza

Queen Of Hungary Mist

Being a daily user of facial sprays and having tried many in my time, this 

Omorovicza Queen Of Hungary Mist has been on my wish list for a long while.

I picked this one up from SpaceNK in a 30ml travel size, as its a premium brand and the 

larger size was stretching the budget, which I wasn't prepared to do for a product

 and brand that was unknown to me.

2.

ELEMIS

Absolute

Eye Mask

This was on my list of purchases, as I have been looking for an Eye Mask

for sometime now. To be used 2 or 3 times a week I feel I need to 

introduce an eye mask into my beauty regime.

The ELEMIS Absolute Eye Mask
nourishes and smooths and is formulated specifically for counteracting
 dullness and dehydration lines, leaving the eye contour revitalized and rehydrated.

Recently you will have seen that I have been trying out several ELEMIS products

and here is another product that I'm looking forward to trying from this UK brand.

I know that several of you have requested more reviews on ELEMIS, so I hope

you enjoyed my one recently on the
Elemis Pro Collagen Advanced Eye Review 
and there are more reviews coming very soon.

PIXI
DetoxifEYE
Depuffing Eye Patches

Not a purchase I planned on and I was sold this by the consultant as a "must have"
eye product and as you know I'm a pushover for eye products and it was also
 newly launched.
Everything about these PIXI DetoxifEYE Depuffing Eye Patches
 appeals to me, so check back to see if it lives up to its name and if its anything
 like their iconic PIXI Glow Tonic, which I have
used daily for the past 2-3 years, it will be a winner.

Caudalie
Micellar Cleansing Water

I don't need to tell you that for the past 12 months I have been having a love affair
with all things Caudalie and having tried countless products, 
All of my Caudalie Products Reviews
I found a travel size (100mls) Micellar Cleansing Water and I do enjoy a good Micellar Water I don't use one every day, but they're so useful for travel and for those days 
where you need extra help to remove a full face of make-up or when you just feel a little lazy and want to use one multi-tasking product to cleanse your face.

ORIGINS
GINZING
Refreshing Eye Cream

Again not a planned acquisition, but ORIGINS has always been a brand that I've
wanted to experience, so what better product to try than an eye cream and again
the name and description ticks all of my boxes.
GINZING Refreshing Eye Cream to Brighten and Depuff.
A refreshing eye cream that instantly helps brighten, visibly diminish the look of 

dark circles & depuff for a wide awake look. 

If my eyes are not brightened,depuffed, smoothed, refreshed, revitalised
after trying out all of these eye treatments...
then I'm giving up!
(Not really)
