Back again with a quick review of one of my current favourite products! I bought this along side the Origins United State Balancing Tonic (review here: http://kerfuffleclaire.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/origins-united-state-balancing-tonic.html) which I was a bit meh about but as I said then I do love some of Origins other products and this is one of them.
I have such a love hate relationship with night creams - I love the way they make my skin feel in the morning but hate getting moisturiser all of my pillow, having one side of my face feeling more moisturised than the other because I have had one side smushed into the pillow all night and then sometimes the residue that's left in the morning.
Thanks now to Origin's Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask it is now firmly a love relationship!
What they say:
Quenches moisture reserves and builds them up to prevent future dehydration helps skin become smoother and more hydrated. Costs £20 for 100ml.
What I think:
Firstly the packaging is lovey - nice and simple. Second this stuff smells amazing! To apply you just massage onto cleansed skin before you head to bed - the instructions to say to tissue off an excess but I prefer you use a small amount and then more as required than waste some by creating excess. It soaks in really quickly which is one of the main reasons I love it - no more product all over the pillow! I was slightly concerned at first that using it on really oily skin might cause problems but this has just been an all round winner for me - think this would also work wonders for those with dry skin. My skin feels smooth, soft and hydrated in the morning so just what it claims to and you can't really ask for more than that! You are meant to use it twice a week or as desired so this isn't meant to be an everyday night cream really.
Pros:
Soaks in really quickly
Looks great
Smells amazing!
Skin feels smooth and hydrated
Perfect for all skin types
Cons:
Sightly expensive
The big decision:
Will I be purchasing this again? A bit fat YES! This is by far the best night cream I have used even if it is only meant to be used just twice a week! I will still continue my hunt for a night cream that can be used more regularly but for me this is the best intensive mask night cream I have used and will duly continue to use it. It is a tad on the expensive side at £20 but as you aren't using it everyday it lasts for ages and for me it's totally worth the money!
