Origins Plantscription Anti-aging Eye Cream

This is my first ever Origins product that I have ever tried and I need to know why am I so late to the party?!

The Origins Plantscription Anti-aging eye cream is a 'rich, hydrating anti aging eye cream with Anogeissus which is clinically proven to help visibly repair four major signs of eye aging. Visibly corrects crow's feet and under eye lines. Lifts and firms the appearance of fragile eye area.'

At £37.00 which is pricey for a teeny pot, plus even though a little goes far the pot does have an exp date of 6 months, I thought I would make the splurge as I had heard good things about Origins .Also I don't mind paying a bit extra if it is going to work and plus it's eyes, I don't want to put just anything on them.

I have been using this since November and my eyes look amazing! I had some lines under my eyes and they are hardly visible any more and everything just looks smooth and great! When applied it feels nice and cool and you can feel it becoming firmer.  It doesn't cause any aggravation to my eyes and you don't need a lot of product.  This is free of 'Parabens, Phthalates,propylene Glycol,Mineral Oil,PABA,Petrolalum,Paraffin,DEA,Synthetic Colour,Synthetic Fragrance,Animal Ingredients.' It does have a smell to it when it is in the pot (I kind of oddly like it) but when it is applied to the skin you can not smell anything, 

I love this eye cream and I hope the rest of the Origins products are just as good, do you have any recommendations?

Detoxifying Dead Sea Mud Face Mask

I love winter but it's at this time of year when my skin is at it's worst, so to help it out I bought myself a face mask from Superdrug. Ideally I wanted to try an Origins one but they are quite expensive! So I bought the Dead Sea Mud one as I have previously used a Superdrug face mask before and really liked it and they are so cheap too at £2.59. 

Superdrug do two other face masks as well the Dead Sea Mud one for the same price. These are the Aloe Vera Mud Mask and Cucumber Peel Off Mask but I chose the Dead Sea one as this gives a 'smooth, invigorated complexion'.

The Mud mask contains ' Ultra-purifying Dead Sea Mud, which effectively unclogs pores and draws out dirt, oil and impurities, leaving skin feeling soft and revitalised.'

I apply this once or twice a week even though it does suggest to use 2-3 days and leave on for 10-15 minutes. It's a dark grey colour and it has a nice perfume scent to it and I'm not very good at describing scents but it does kind of remind me of the smell of the beach.

I once again am impressed by the Superdrug face mask, it leaves my skin so so so soft and smooth and does take away the oiliness. My skin feels really refreshed afterwards and my skin looks great. One of the things I love about Superdrug is that they are against animal testing! This product is also suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

If you want to try a cheap face mask, try and pick this up! Can you suggest any other good face masks?
