Origins Mask Marvel Gift Set

I'm a real fan of most things from Origins, so this gift set was a gem of a find. But instead forking out £50 which is a little on the expensive side, it's £23 at Boots this week which is an absolute steal in my eyes. It works out at three 75ml masks for £23, so that's what, £7.66 each. There was no way I wasn't getting my hands on this little skincare trio!

So there's the Drink up Intensive overnight mask, Clear improvement active charcoal mask and finally Out of trouble 10 minute mask. 

I received the Drink up Intensive overnight mask over two years ago as a free gift with my first ever Origins product. The sales assistant described the mask as a 'handover miracle', which I though was a tad of an exaggeration, but it genuinely is a gem of a find! It gives you a plumped up, glowing skin with literally no effort at all. Also, It smells incredible, a mixture of mango and passionfruit which reminds me of summer,

The clay mask is lovely, its a thick consistency compared to others on the market, and it's one of those products that you feel as though it's working whilst its on your face. I've never tried the 10 minute mask but i already love the other two masks in the pack, so i already have high hopes for this one! Over the festive season I think my skin may need a little TLC so this is perfect. 

The mask marvel set is only on offer for one week at Boots stores, so hurry! I'm sure this set wasn't as pricey last year though, so get it quick!

Review: Origins Clear Improvement face mask

Recently as much as I hate to admit, my skin has been getting really congested and looking dull. After doing a bit of reading around and browsing different websites I came across some excellent reviews for the Origins Clear improvement black charcoal face mask  which to my surprise I already owned (saving myself some £’s!!).

The packaging says that the “activated charcoal acts like a magnet to draw out pore-cloggers for skin to breathe a sigh of relief”, just like the usual face mask jargon. But amazingly to my surprise when I applied it and the mask began to set, and as disgusting as this sounds, I could actually see the ‘pore cloggers’ being drawn to the surface as they set darker than the actual mask.

The mask is a little difficult to remove compared to others, but as long as you’re willing to dirty a face cloth or muslin cloth then you’ll be fine. After I remove the mask my skin really does feel a lot cleaner and if possible, freer to breathe. I've definitely converted to a face mask lover after this.

I’m not normally someone who is good at applying face masks and treatments on a regular basis, but since delving this number out of my collection, I'm going to really try and keep 15 minutes a week to apply the mask and watch my face unclog!


Overall 4/5
