Origins Spot Remover Pads

Origins Spot Remover Blemish Treatment Pads - £22

These Origins Spot Remover Blemish Treatment Pads are a part of the "Spot Remover" family along with the Super Spot Remover Gel. On one side of the included pads, there is a bumpy, therefore exfoliating, side and each pad contains Salicylic Acid, Clove and Oregano. These work together to help unclog pores and to help get rid of, prevent and fade blemishes.
At first when I first saw these, I didn't like the thought of spreading around the bacteria on your face with one small pad and didn't think they would help my skin. However, once I got into the routine of using them in the AM and PM like the pot instructs you to do, they have 100% worked! The redness of the scars on my face have diminished significantly, I barely get any random breakouts anymore and the spots that I do get (when used along with the Super Spot Remover Gel) go within a few days and the redness of them is much smaller now than it was before I started using these pads. However, I have quite sensitive skin around my eyes so when I use the exfoliating side near my eyes, I find that it stings a little bit so I have to use the opposite side of the pad if necessary. Also, in relation to other Origins products, the packaging of these is fairly big and bulky so it is quite hard to store although this is a minor detail compared to how well they work. Overall, I think I will be repurchasing these very soon as I'm coming to the last few pads in my pot, oh nooo!! 

Origins Out of Trouble Mask

Origins Out of Trouble Mask - £20

Origins Out of Trouble mask is designed for oily-combination skin and to keep the skin, basically, 'out of trouble'. It uses Zinc-Oxide and Sulfur which absorb the impurities and also uses Camphor which calms the skin. The mask uses these ingredients as part of a 3-part plan; to reduce oil on the skin, get rid of dead skin cells and to take away things like flaky skin. After this 3-part plan is complete your skin should be oil free, nice and soft and should be less prone to breakouts as the mask will be stopping these potential outbursts. 

I've been using this mask for around a month now, once a week and I have noticed a massive difference in the texture and look of my skin. Before using this mask, throughout the day my skin would become oily and you could see a definite shine on my face but since using this the amount of oil and shine you can see on my face has seriously decreased! It has also helped reduce the amount of breakouts I get around 'that time of the month' which is really the only time I get any sort of spots now due to some antibiotics I am on. Like all the other Origins products I use, I definitely feel that this works and is quite a bargain for how little you actually need to use (I use 2 pea size amounts usually but layer up over any problem areas) and how often too! I would definitely recommend this for anyone who suffers from oily skin and/or bumpy textured skin.
What's your favourtie Origins mask??

Weekly Wishlist #1

1. Zara Studded Leather Shopper - I'm in dire need of a new college bag for when i go back in September so hopefully i'll be able to get my hands on this before then!

2. Origins Brighter By Nature Peel - On the Origins website, they claim that this is best for dark spots & discolouration. I've suffered with bad skin for a large sum of the past few years going back and forth between varying products and antibiotics to help clear it up. Only recently have I started using origins products that have actually made such a massive difference and now I just want everything. Because of my bad skin, I've been left with scarring and reading the reviews on the website for this, it seems to be the best thing out of the origins collection to help diminish the scars but with such a hefty price tag (£30!!!!!), I'm not too sure how soon i'll be buying this.

3. NARS Laguna Bronzer - Yes, i am another one of those people who have joined onto the hype of this bronzer. Back in April, I was on a family holiday to Florida and mum decided to treat me in Sephora to one thing and this is what I chose before I had any idea of the huge buzz around this product and it's safe to say that this is the best bronzer I've ever used and unless i find something else that's even better (doubtful) this will be a must-have product for my every day makeup! I need to repurchase this very soon as mine is on it's last legs :(

4. MAC 109 Small Contour Brush - I currently use a cheapo blush brush, that malts all over my face when I put on my bronzer and blush and frankly it is getting right on my nerves. I don't own any proper MAC brushes apart from the mineralize collection ones which are brilliant so I may need to invest in this brush too.

5. Office Nighthawk Boots - When I first saw these boots in the Office shop in Manchester, I fell in love with them! They are so similar the extremely expensive yet bloody gorgeous Chloe studded boots that a lot of celebrities have been seen wearing and I need them. Hopefully, i'll be able to talk my mum into getting these bad boys for me!
