Invisi bobble Review

It seems like I haven't blogged in a very long time due to all my deadlines! - I decided to take an hour out of uni work to write up a couple of reviews on products I have been using lately.

The first question you are probably wondering right now is what an earth is this right!? I said this myself when I saw it on other blogs. These are bobbles for your hair..unusual I know and extremely quirky indeed - a little like telephone wires if you ask me. But, basically I am loving these hair accessories and I wanted to tell you guys why.

I was in Boots browsing down what felt like every single isle when I came across these in the hair accessories section. I was originally down this aisle for the shower Tangle Teazer for wet hair, until I saw these and completely forgot what I was down the aisle for. They had a couple of colours: blue, brown, black and maybe red? I went for the brown ones because it's more near my hair colour than any of the rest. These little amazing bobbles were only a couple of pounds as well which stunned me.

These bobbles are designed to avoid any kinks in your hair, headaches, split ends and hold a strong grip for any hair types. I got these because I have quite thick hair anyways and sometimes if I have a high ponytail in it tends to hurt after a while and I sometimes get kinks in my hair if I wear my bobble too tight.

I have worn these numerous times now (they aren't the most attractive thing in your hair) but the results are amazing. I have had no traces of headaches what so ever which is brilliant! haven't noticed any split ends either. One thing I swear by it definitely does is avoids those hairlines you get when you pull your bobble out and holds a strong grip as my hair stays in the same spot all day.

Another thing I noticed is my hair has a bit of volume with these in which is unusual but who can complain?

I have heard some peoples Boots stores don't sell these however I have seen several in Accessorize and they do them in amazing bright spring colours like pink etc.

Pros:
Inexpensive
Avoids any traces of hairlines
Avoids headaches
Strong grip
adds volume
quirky
won't damage your hair

Cons:
difficult to get a hold of
not the most attractive accessory

I definitely think these are worth the hype and if you have thick hair or even wear your hair up a lot then give these a try!

Have you tried Invisi bobble?

Origins Face Mask Reviews

Origins Face Mask Reviews
I have an unhealthy confession to make and that is I am obsessed with the Origin's Face Masks. I first introduced Origins to my blog back in 2013, where I talked about their famous Ginzing Eye cream (post here if you want a nosy!). Since then I have tried much more of their range and spent more of my student loan on unnecessary beauty products I don't need, but I have bought. So here I am bringing to you another Origin's post.


Origins Clear Improvement Charcoal Mask to clear pores
As you can tell by the tubes of this mask that I have grown to love it. This was the first mask I purchased from the Origins range - because this was the most suited towards my skin type. This for me has done much more than 'clear pores' it has woken my face up. I sometimes get those little spots that are so tiny you can only notice them in the light, this mask helps dry those up fairly quickly. It also reduces the amount of redness on my face by a mile! and it adds a bit of moisture. 

 Origins Drink Up mask quench skins thirst
I went through a phase of having dry skin near Christmas time so I had asked for this for Christmas off Santa Claus. I definitely think this helps get rid of dry skin on my face I wouldn't say it was amazing but it definitely rubs away some dryness. I don't really get dry skin and if I do it tends to be off a spot treatment I use. This wasn't like the charcoal mask - what I mean is the consistency was more liquidized so you only needed the tiniest amount of this. Once after the 10 minutes is up my face is extremely soft! I also noticed my face just looks and feels a lot cleaner than it did before. I do love masks that make my face feel more healthy.

Origins Out of trouble rescue problem skin
This is my latest mask to add to my collection it was the final one I needed - you'd think I was collecting Pokemon cards with the way I say collection. I was really looking forward to trying this after hearing it was really good for spot clearing. My face has never felt or looked more healthy and clear than it has today. I would even say this was better than the charcoal mask. This one isn't direct to my skintype (oily) but it definitely helps reduce redness and those scars!

Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask quenches skins thirst
I only got the small tube of this because as just mentioned I am more oily skinned than dry. But, I wanted to give this a try as I have never experienced a mask that is for overnight use. I have used this 2 or 3 times and only the tiniest amount is needed! this tiny tube will last me a very long time. It smells amazing! really really lovely scent hard to describe maybe fruity? but its pleasant to smell overnight. After the first use of this the next morning my face felt like I just drank a gallon of water not even being dramatic either.. it literally made my face super soft! that isn't the only thing it done. When I wake up sometimes my face is at its worse and sometimes its not, this mask helps tone down the 'morning face' which is also nice to see.

That is all my Origin mask reviews! I would repurchase most of these again. Not so much the dry skin masks as they aren't really targeted to my skin type most of the time but I would probably repurchase the small tube of them if I needed to. The problematic masks I would definitely repurchase as you can tell I already have with the charcoal mask!

What is your favourite Origins mask?
