Origins Mini Mask Marvels

Hey guys!!!

During Black Friday I purchased the Origins Mini Mask Marvels set. My friend Krystelle would always tell me how amazing the Origins masks are and when I saw the set on the website during black friday it was a great opportunity to try 3 of them out!!



I am in love with 2 out of 3 of these masks and I will be repurchasing them once I run out.


This product is for basically like the name says clear your pores. It has charcoal and white china clay. The website says: "Activated charcoal acts like a magnet to draw out deep-dwelling pore-cloggers. White China clay absorbs environmental toxins, and lecithin dissolves impurities. Without all that stuff down there, skin breathes a sigh of relief. "  

This product has quickly become my holy grail mask because I do feel like this really cleans out my pores and my face feels fresh and clean after using it. Only thing is that it does dry out my skin so I use something else to hydrate it and I will let you know later on what I do. I only use it once a week and on the weekend after a long work week. This is my way of pampering myself and my skin. 

 

This product is supposed to help with problematic skin and I was excited because my skin was acting up bad, but I don't feel like it did anything for me. The website says: "Formulated with natural troubleshooters, including super-absorbent zinc oxide and sulfur plus calming camphor, this mask rapidly responds to problem skin with a three-part plan: sop up oily-shine, slough off sticky, dead cells, and sweep away irksome debris." 

I really didn't see much of a difference on my skin after using this. It was disappointing because I was really hoping that it would work for me. I don't have much to say about this product. Have you guys tried this?? Did it work for you??

Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask

I had tried out the 10 Minute hydrating mask by getting a sample from Sephora and it was okay, but once I tried this I feel like this one is 10 times better. I LOVE how good this product smells. The website says: . "This intense moisture replacement mask with avocado and apricot kernel oil deeply and instantly quenches compromised moisture reserves and builds a reservoir for tomorrow. Best for dry skin types, Japanese seaweed repairs skin's barrier to prevent future dehydration and signs of premature aging."

I always use this one the same night I use the Charcoal mask so my face could feel very hydrated the next day and especially now that it is winter time I tend to get some dry patches. I haven't really had that much of an issue with that this year, This product is like a very thick lotion and once you put it on you look like a shiny grease ball, but it does tone down as the hours go by. My 2nd holy grail mask and I need this in my skin care routine at all times.

Overall I am glad I got to try these 3 masks and happy that I was able to find a couple of holy grail items. I had these since November and it is almost the end of January I still haven't run out of these samples. A little does go a long way and they will last you a while and happy to report that none of these broke me out.

Have you guys tried these products?? How did your skin like them?? What are some of your favorite Origins products??

Rose and Ben Beauty Brushes

 Hey guys!! I haven't done a beauty post in a while and I was in the mood to do one because I am very excited to talk about these! I started follow Rose on IG roseandben  thanks to my friend and I have been loving her content. You can see the passion she has for makeup. I love that she posts on IG stories almost everyday doing a tutorial or talking about her fav products.  I have actually purchased and few of her recommendations and 99% of the products I have bought have become staples in my collection.  When she announced she was coming out with a brand  Rose and Ben Beauty  I just knew it would be brushes because she would always be using prototypes in her tutorials. I trusted her judgment in products soooo I bought most of the collection.  Aren't these brushes beautiful?? When I first got the brushes I felt the bristles and they were so soft. The quality of the bristles and even the handles feels so luxurious. I love the color of the handles too. I only started following her

What Are AHA's??

 Hey guys!!! AHA's(Alpha Hydroxy Acids) is water-soluble, exfoliates dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, reveals healthy looking skin, and it is suitable for all skin types. It helps stimulate collagen, hydrates the skin, brightens the skin, helps lessen skin texture, helps with acne scars, signs of sun damage, and dark spots. There are different types of AHA's out there.  Glycolic Acid Glycolic acid is the most well known and is used in skin care and is also used by a professional in a chemical peel.  It is either used alone in a skincare product or combined with another AHA ingredients at concentrations of 5% and up. It helps to enhance skin's firmness and resilience while softening signs of sun damage.  The size of this acid allows it to penetrate the uppermost layers of the skin to reveal better looking skin. Also it hydrates the skin, and basically helps the skin retain the natural moisture. Glycolic acid can be derived from sugar cane, but they only use the

What are BHA's??

 Hey guys!!! The other day I spoke about AHA's and the different types of AHA's and now it is BHA's.  BHA's(Beta Hydroxy Acids) can get deeper into the pores to remove dead skin cells and excess sebum. It is oil-soluble so it allows it to penetrate deep into the pores and gently breaks up blockages that clogs your pores. That will help with lessening your acne and less visible pores. If you have blackheads, on your nose especially, it can help getting rid of them without damaging your skin like the Biore pore strips do. Also prevents new ones from forming. It could also help with Keratosis Pilaris(KP) in body washes or even body lotions/butters. BHA's are good for all skin types, but especially oily, acne prone skin. Salicylic Acid Salicylic Acid is the most well known out of all of them. It helps reduce acne by exfoliating the skin and keeping the pores clear. It helps with mild acne, blackheads and whiteheads, can help prevent future breakouts.  Tropic Acid, Tret
