The Origins Christmas Bauble

Christmas with Origins

The Origins Christmas Bauble* is a perfect stocking filler. The large metal bauble contains five of Origins’ best selling products, which I can’t wait to start using.

Plantscription Anti-Aging Eye Treatment, 8ml – Prevention is better than cure so I’ll work this into my regime a couple of times a week.

Plantscription Anti-Aging Serum, 7ml - Lots of people don’t believe I’m 22 so I don’t need to look any younger. But anti-aging products are usually pretty rich, so this will be perfect for my dehydrated skin during the coming cold months.

Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask, 7ml – Really looking forward to trying this. I love facemasks and anything that’ll help clear my pores is always a winner.

GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream, 5ml – I’ll definitely be giving this a go. Brighten and depuff? Yes, please.

Modern Friction Nature’s Gentle Dermabrasion, 5ml – I love microdermabrasion scrubs so this is what I’m most looking forward to trying.

I’m an Origins virgin so this bauble will be the perfect opportunity to try some of their products.

The Origins Christmas Bauble is available exclusively to Selfridges, priced at £6 each or two for £10.

Murad Christmas Kits - Perfect Balance

I recently attended a Murad Blogger Event and got to hear some top skincare tips from the man himself – Dr Murad. But not only did we get some great ips, we also got to see what’s new in the house of Murad – The Murad Christmas Kits.

There are five different kits available, all of which aim to treat different issues, so there’s something for everyone no matter what your skin type. The products inside also massively exceed the kit’s price tag so they’re great if you just want to test a few things without bankrupting yourself!

I chose the Perfect Balance Kit*, which contains:

T-Zone Pore Refining Gel– 60ml
Blemish Treatment Concealer in Medium – 2.6g
Oil-Control Mattifier SPF 15 – 10ml
Hydro-Dynamic Ultimate Moisture for Eyes – 3.5ml

Altogether these products are worth almost £90, but the kit retails for just £42.50 – which I think I pretty darn good.

T-Zone Pore Refining Gel – I’ll be doing a review on this soon as it’s special enough to warrant it’s own post. First impressions are fantastic though, so watch this space.

Blemish Treatment Concealer – Unfortunately I got this in medium so there won’t be any sort of review on this. However you can see the concealer in action in my Difference IsClear post. The concealer also comes in light (pale beige) and dark (coffee coloured) however, not as part of the set.

Oil-Control Mattifier – Again I’ll be reviewing this separately. But I’m liking it so far.

Hydro-Dynamic Ultimate Moisture for Eyes – I’m not a big eye-cream user, but I like the fact that it’s in there. The full size is fairly expensive so this is a great way to try it.

Bottom line: At £42.50 it’s still on the pricey side, but considering what you’re getting it’s definitely worth it. It’s a great Christmas gift for a loved one or just a treat for yourself!

Murad Christmas Kits are available to buy now on the Murad website, prices start at £36.
The other kits available include, Complete Renewal, Hybrids, Hydration Sensation and Radiance Rescue.
