With all the swimming, beaching, and short-shorts wearing that you're doing this season, what better time to indulge in a little full-body bliss? As important as it is to exfoliate your face during warm weather, you shouldn't forget about the rest of your skin; creating a smooth canvas for shaving, moisturizing, and applying bronzer is key — and it'll only make your skin look that much more Read more
If doing the right thing isn't enough to make you recycle, Origins isn't above a little good-natured bribery. Beginning April 5, people who bring Origins at least one empty cosmetic package — it doesn't have to be from the brand — will receive one ticket to a free Macy Gray concert in New York City. The Origins Rocks Earth Month concert will be held at Webster Hall on April 19. Access to Read more
I haven't used Origins Clear Improvement Charcoal Mask ($21) since college, so when I came across reader voxtrotlous's review of the pore- and pimple-clearing treatment, I got all nostalgic. But is it worth the purchase? Find out what today's reviewer had to say below: It's not a complete dud of a product. It's less that 20 bucks, so it's not anything you can complain about. All I'm saying [is Read more
If you like the effects of microdermabrasion, but you want something gentler than crystals, this could be the item for you. Origins Modern Friction dermabrasion scrub ($37) uses rice starch to scrub away dead skin. Reader smoy1004 digs the smell, but wishes it were less pricey. An Origins sales girl suckered me into purchasing this, but I can't say that it was a bad purchase! It smells soft and Read more
Reader Humsoutloud has tried just about everything to help calm her sensitive skin. Upon discovering Origins Dr. Weil Plantidote Mega-Mushroom Face Serum ($110), she is now hooked for life. Here's what she had to say about this product: I know people say they have tried every product, but I literally have — from the doctor to organic to high-end. My skin will break out if anything but water Read more
Every month should be Earth Month, but now's the time when companies roll out their eco-friendly initiatives. My inner hippie is happy that Origins is rolling out its Return to Origins recycling program. Origins counters (except those at Nordstrom) and stand-alone stores will accept clean, empty cosmetic containers — regardless of the brand. From there, the company will have the packaging Read more
I've never been one to have consistently gorgeous, glowy skin. It's always either a little bit dry, kind-of blotchy and almost always oily on the nose. Oh, and around that time of the month, you can bank on being able to play a fierce game of connect-the-dots. Having been a connoisseur of spot treatments since puberty, these are three of my go-to products that help pacify my pimples without Read more
You'll be green with envy when you see Origins' latest skin care line, Origins Organics. Although the line launched in late fall, the products are intended to soothe dry, winter skin and hair. All of the products are certified organic by the USDA, which is a huge step for a beauty company. Now, this doesn't mean that the products are 100% organic; it means that a large part of the products are Read more
Okay, seriously, how is it November already? It seems like it was just last week when we were gallivanting in warm weather, and now I'm already planning my Thanksgiving shopping list. Sheesh, time flies. But along with the Tofurky shopping, I'm going to be doing some beauty shopping for this chilly month. Here are my picks: For a description of each, read more Read more
Well, I just looked at the national weather map and the country—even the normally cool Pacific Northwest—is almost completely covered in red! Yep, summer is in full swing, with the high temperatures to go with it. When the weather's hot, I like to keep my beauty routine low-maintenance, and if I can find products to help me cool off, so much the better! I've done a little hunting and found Read more
