Origins GinZing Energy Boosting Moisturizer

Origins GinZing Energy Boosting Moisturizer

I needed a new moisturizer for a while and decided to try out the Origins GinZing Energy Boosting Moisturizer. I have oily/combination skin that tends to get really oily towards the end of the day.
I've always wanted to try out a moisturizer from Origins as I've heard great things about them and that the Origins Drink Up Intensive moisture mask is my favourite mask, review here.

The moisturizer is light and is not greasy, it has a orangey smell to it and I love it. I used it in the mornings and evenings after cleansing. Before this my skin looked quite dull and needed a pick me up and after using it for quite some time I could see that my face become more radiant.
Its a light weight gel cream that absorbs quickly into the skin, which is great if you're in a rush in the mornings.
As you can tell by the picture I've used one up and already purchased a new one.

Have you tried this and what were your thoughts on it?

Nars Sheer Glow in Macao - Review

I've been wanting to try this foundation for ages but unfortunately they didn't have my shade in Sephora, Denmark. It was either too dark (New Orleans) or too light (Cadiz) and I didn't want to take a risk buying it online and ending up with a wrong shade because after all it is rather expensive.
My sister and I decided to visit our cousins, who live in Birmingham and while we were out shopping one day, I finally got matched in Selfridges and picked up the Nars Sheer Glow in Macao.

Now on to the review. After wanting this foundation for a long time and seeing it praised by many, my expectations were very high and I must say that I was not disappointed. Application wise, this foundation goes on smoothly, blends very well and it feels like velvet when you applied it.
Its medium coverage which I prefer but can be build up to a fuller coverage.
As the name applies it does give a glow/ dewy finish and does not give a greasy look to your skin. The foundation lasted quite a while I would say about 6-8 hours.
I have normal to combination skin and tend to get shiny at the end of the day but using the sheer glow has not left me in a greasy state thanks to the Bioderma Sébium Pore refiner (review coming soon) which I've been using as a primer under this foundation.
I wish that I could have tried this foundation sooner as I am in love with it now and would recommend it.

The only con that I can think about is that this foundation does not come with a pump and I had to buy it separately.
