REVIEW: Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask
Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask - £20 (100ml)
I received this cute little sample when I placed an order on the Origins website, and despite me originally wanting to try a couple of different Origins products, it was the Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask that stole the show - and so I thought I'd give this little sample a review all of it's own!
With having dehydrated skin I was very excited to see Origins were sending me this little gift! I use this product around three times a week, exactly as you would expect - overnight. Used as a last step to the night time routine, the product itself is like a super thick moisturiser, with almost a melted balm type of feel to it. I find that because the mask is so rich, only a small dollop is needed to cover my face and neck (though I ignore the instruction to 'tissue off'). I love that you instantly feel a calming effect, any - even mild - stripping action that my cleanser may have had is straight away remedied with this mask.
The replenishing effect on depleted moisture reserves is only the start though, the Japanese seaweed contained within (don't worry, Drink Up smells lovely!) is also meant to be great for building moisture reserves and preventing further dehydration. I wake up glowing, with my skin feeling incredibly soft and hydrated. My skin does still get a little oily towards the end of day (my oiliness seems to stem from my skin trying to overcompensate from dehydration), but the main benefit for me is that my skin feels a lot more comfortable after using the Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask, whereas it's recently been feeling tight and dry.
I better get onto buying the full size product now or I'll more than upset when my sample runs out!

This sounds lovely! I haven't tried any origins products but there's a few on my wishlist, this will now have to be added to those too :)

I'm not the biggest fan of this mask, it doesn't seem to do much to my skin and the smell is a little too spicy for me, which is odd as most people say it smells like peach.
