Origins Never A Dull Moment & High-Potency Night-A-Mins
Origins is a brand that always excites me. I've loved everything I've tried from their range so far and wouldn't mind buying the whole lot to be honest! These are my two most recent purchases and although I haven't quite tested them out to the fullest, I though I'd do a little post on my first impressions.
The High-Potency Night-A-Mins is something I've been after for a long long time. Its a mineral enriched radiance booster that's full of vitamins and moisture replenishers to help reduce the appearance of dullness. I went for the regular Night-A-Mins, however there is an oil-free version as well. The first thing I noticed when using this is the beautiful orange smell it has, very soothing to use right before bed. Used alone I did find it quite hard to work into the skin, but when applying my usual night time Serum, Estée Lauders Advance Night Repair, it became a lot easier to smooth on. The product feels very hydrating at first but by the time I wake up this tends to completely sink into my skin leaving it feeling slightly tight and uncomfortable. I've actually been using a thin layer of the Origin's Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask on top to give it a bit of a boost, so I think this is going to be better for those with a normal skin type whereas mine is quite dry at the moment.
The Never a Dull Moment Scrub was also slightly different than I was expecting. I did mention in a recent haul video that this was ridiculously priced at £31 - astronomical for a face scrub, but it seems that I've been overcharged as everywhere except Boots is selling it for around £24 (which angered me just tad). The exfoliating beads in this are very small and sparse in the thick gel formula. I was a bit worried at first thinking I'd wasted all that money on something that barely touched my dry patches, however after a quick scrub I left this on for about five minutes, letting the Papaya enzymes work away at removing the top layer of dead skin cells very gently. I've used this two or three times now and each time my skin has looked radiant afterwards with little effort at all. I think this is going to turn out to be very similar to the Elemis Papaya Enzyme Peel, one of my favourite exfoliating masks!

I received a free sample over the weekend at a counter after registering with the brand. I got a 30ml sample of the Modern Friction exfoliator (very generous :) ) and I swear after just 1 use my skin never felt nor looked as good and soft as it does now. I literally can't stop touching my face. Needless to say it's an instant purchase for me as soon as I finish my sample. :)
ps I love the sound of the 2 products you got so I might take a closer look. I can hear my wallet/purse cry. haha
I love the night cream:) The scrub sounds nice, but £31 is a lot xx
they sound like lovely products :)

I've had the oil-free night a mins for months and months, it's my perfect night cream... however I really don't love the smell, it's so odd. When I finally run out I may try the normal version.. or something else! ;)

I'm dying to try the nightamins cream, going to a shopping event in a fortnight at origins so that's probably what I'll buy :L I had the face scrub used on me at a recent facial but it's lower on the (very long) lost of things I want to buy :L
I've received a sample of Never a Dull moment a while ago and I've loved it so far. Though indeed the pricetag was putting me off to buy it. Might reconsider though ;-) x

I think the scrub is so pricey. There are others around which do the same thing. I do this Origins can be expensive. X
Ah I hate it when you find somethings cheaper elsewhere! I am really getting into Origins at the mo' though - loving their 'drink up' mask!

I really need to try some Origins. Everyone raves about them so much! I feel like I'm missing out. xo
I got the oil free version of the night-a-mins just the other day. So far I love it. Smells like Terry's chocolate orange :) I used to use No7 Balanced Results night sorbet and then they discontinued it. So I am so happy to have found a moisturiser with a similar consistency :) xx
The tube products reminds me of a carrot, hah! They sound amazing! Going on my wishlist! <3 xo

I love your blog! You seemed to have tried A LOT of skin products so i was wondering if you could recomend anything for dull skin. I exfoliate but still its a horrid dull colour, i like being pale just not grey!
I saw that you wrote about 'Never A Dull Moment' scrub, was just wondering if there was anything else you've found to be effective.
Im tired of wearing foundation all the time just because my skin is a horrible shade!!
Many thanks

modern friction is my absolute favourite origins product - it's priced at £31 but i've used it twice weekly since september (as has my boyfriend) and there's still a good 3/4 left! obviously not for everyone (and you have such lovely skin as it is!) but i always struggled to get rid of blackheads on my nose and this has made a noticeable difference to them almost immediately! x

How am I just now finding your blog?? It's what's been missing from my blogroll! I too always get excited by Origins; there's always at least one product of their's on my wish list. I've never heard of the Dull Moment scrub before, but I'm so into radiant skin lately that it seems like something I can't pass up. I'm glad to have heard about it, thanks! x
