Origins

Big fan of their tinted moisturizer with SPF. It’s great for a little coverage on those not feeling like plastering on make up days. Staff is always great too.

This was my first time in an Origins and I realized why… the products are super expensive. On this visit, I was buying a gift for my mother, so I can’t vouch for the quality of the products and whether or not they are worth the cost. I must say that the two girls working there were super nice. And not in that… let’s make sure she’s not stealing, nice, but genuinely nice.

Here’s the thing with origins… they sell all of these fancy creams, rubs, ointments, oils, etc. that make you smell nice and look and feel beautiful (and they have stuff for dudes, too). The catch is, these little teeny, tiny bottles of like «dude charcoal body wash» will run you like $ 20, which is a fortune. Granted, I haven’t bought any of their products so I don’t know if they work or not. So, I’m giving the place a 3-​star rating because the attendant folks were really kind an asked if I needed any help, the place looked really nice and smelled awesome. But, you might be able to keep your skin clear at a substantial discount elsewhere. On the flipside, their magical golden creams may solve of all your beauty problems as well. I’m debating maybe just getting a bottle of their body scrub just to see if I really notice a difference in my skin. :)
