Beauty - Origins & Topshop Make-Up



Origins Modern Friction for the Body, £28.00; Origins Super Spot Remover, 12.00; Origins A Perfect World moisturiser with spf 25 trial size; Topshop Blush in Head Over Heels, £6.00; Topshop Nails in Parma Violet, £5.00; Topshop Nails in Pool Party, £5.00

Origins have been getting great reviews online and I originally went out today to pick up the ‘A Perfect World’ moisturiser after reading great things about it online.  When I got to the counter though the (super helpful) assistant got talking to me about the body scrub and it sounded like exactly what I need right now with a big event (and a strapless dress) on the horizon.  I also bought the Super Spot Remover gel, which is super tiny but I was assured a little goes a long way.  Even though I never get spots on my face, I've recently started getting them across my chest and tops of my arms, so I'm going to see if this can help (fingers crossed!) I also got a trial size of the moisturiser so I can see how if it agrees with my skin. I'll do a proper review of everything in a couple of weeks. 

Topshop's Make-Up range has become a firm favourite of mine and I've been using this blusher for a few months now (think this is the third one I've bought).  It's the perfect brightening blusher for fair skin like mine, without looking too orange/coral.  The creamy texture is perfect as I hate that powdery finish of pressed powder blushers and find I can never get the tone right with a tint.  It sinks into the skin and lasts really well with some setting powder (I use Mac).  

And the nail polishes... I just can't seem to come home from a shopping trip without at least one! These are both colours I've had my eye on for a while and I’m currently wearing both colours which look gorgeous together.
