  • My Experience with Origins Products

    IMG_5008

    I have been dying to use Origins products! I love how they’re “green” and organic, and plus their products are fairly inexpensive.  It took me awhile to hunt a store down, but finally I went on a little shopping spree and tried out everything the rep had to recommend for me! (Oh my credit card…)

    First up, facial cleanser (above).

    Likes: this gentle cleanser is very gentle and good for sensitive skin. It does take off the makeup a little bit and it does lather and foam up once you mix with water. Strange, because it looks like you’re straight up putting OIL on your face, but I think they just color it that way to give that illusion for dry skin.

    Dislikes: it almost seems TOO gentle! I love having a squeaky clean ending but it just glides off instead of washing straight off.  I didn’t really see the difference, although since it’s SO humid these days—who knows if it’s just the weather!

    samples!

    Samples!

    One thing I love about Origins is that they are not stingy at all about giving away samples of their products. You barely show interest in something and they are whipping out a sample for you! (And they fill it to the top!)  There’s enough in there to use for at least 5 times, which is perfect for me.

    I ended up returning the face cleanser and getting:

    $18.50 sold at any Origins store

    $18.50 sold at any Origins store

    The checks and balances wash felt SO much better! It’s also the same price and I love how it instantly foams. My face felt much more “squeaky clean” afterwards.

    Do you shop at Origins? Which products do you use?
