I purchased this mascara less than a month ago after reading really great reviews about it. Plus, I love mascara and love trying something new. I bought this assuming it would make my lashes look fuller without clumps. While it does not clump up, my lashes look pretty naked when I used this product. I can tell I have mascara if I look hard but it just looks like my own lashes if that makes sense. Personally, I love it when it looks like I am wearing mascara but this product doesn't do it. If you want a more natural look to your lashes, it's a great product but it's not for me.
Not enough shades
I purchased this product because I'm always looking for a something easy to apply in the morning. The formula works really well with my combination/oily skin and feels great when applying it. The only problem I have is the shade range. I bought the shade Rich Ginger, assuming it would match Rich Ginger shade in the liquid form. Unfortunately, the whipped version is almost two shades lighter than the liquid. So, I bought the Caramel shade because even though the liquid version is too dark, I assume the whipped version would be ligher as well. I was wrong. The Caramel shade (whipped) is way darker than the liquid version. I'm so disappointed!
Not enough shades
I bought this recently in Medium because I heard a lot of good things about Smashbox's BB but it didn't work out for me. I tried the Dark in the store and knew it would be too dark, which is why I got the Medium. The Medium made my skin look so ashy, which is never a good look. It felt good on my skin but it didn't look good. I wish there was a shade between Medium and Dark because I won't buy two shades and mix them. Like I said, it is moisturizing and feels great but I wish the shade range was broader.
Recently, I've been getting dark circles under my eyes due to lack of sleep. I don't have really prominent dark circles but they are there. I decided to try this after seeing a few positive reviews on YouTube and I have not been disappointed. It feels soothing when I apply it under my eyes. At first I was unsure if it would work because of the pinky tone but so far so good. I was worried the pinky, shimmery tone would leave my skin looking ashy but it hasn't. My dark circles are less noticable. I always put this after my toner but before my moisturizer. No matter how much of a rush I'm in, I apply this product to look more awake than I actually am. I wish it came in a bigger jar but I will definitely repurchase it. :-)
Soothing But Strong
I purchased this products along with the Zero Oil Cleanser and Zero Oil lotion because I wanted a natural alternative for fighting acne. I really like this product because it is very soothing and cooling when applied to me skin with a cotton ball or cotton pad. It is dries quickly and leave my skin matte. I have seen a change to the pores on my nose since using this product. The only problem I have with this product is the scent. It is ridiculously strong! I hate when I have to apply it around my nose because of the smell. I really wish Origins would tone down the scent a bit because it can be overwhelming for someone like me, who is really sensitive to fragrances. I
Great for Acne Prone Skin!
I started using this line of Origins because I was looking for a natural way to deal with my oily, acne prone skin. I love this moisturizer because it's so hard to find a oil-free moisturizer. A lot of moisturizers, including "oil-free", make my skin greasy and clog my pores but not this product. It makes my skin feel soft and smooth without being harsh. I really love the smell, which does not smell like alcohol. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is because it does not contain an SPF. For me personally, SPF is important. I used to be on Retin-A, which makes me sensitive to too much sun. A lot of SPF oil-free moisturizers are so heavy and leave a film on my skin. I hope Origins decides to make a Zero Oil moisturizer with spf. I will still repurchase this product because I love it so much.
I bought this because I saw a really good review on YouTube about this nail polish. I'm always trying to find a polish that give me a nice finish without two additional steps. I tried this in Bonsai and noticed it has a lot of bubbles in it. I know polishes are bound to have bubbles but not like this. I tried reapplying it a few times but got the same result. I also think the brush is too dense. It didn't even spread out the color. I hope they go back and reformulate this product because I love the color.
Very soothing
I started using this product when I stopped using my acne prescription, which caused my skin to peel. This product is very soothing and helps to calm down the redness from existing pimples or ones coming up to the surface. This product can be really drying but I like that because my skin is so oily, the dryness does not last more than 2 minutes on my face. I like how it doesn't have a strong scent and is very mellow. I wish Neutrogena made a body wash in this scent because I really like this product.
An On-the-Go Staple!
I love this product because it is super easy to use and portable! I have really oily skin so usually within 5 hours of my work day, my mascara or eyeliner starts to migrate south. I can take out of these sticks and swipe it under my eye without being irritating. I have really sensitive eyes and this product is perfect. I always buy a few if there is a deal at CVS. If you have not tried it, you should because they fit even in the smallest purses.
Awesome results!
I love how this mascara give length to my lashes! It's an awesome product to have in your purse on the go. It doesn't smudge or look gloopy. I love how the wet formula helps my lashes look like falsies. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is because it burns my eyes so bad. I tried working with it for two weeks, with and without eyeliner and eyeshadows but it just really irritates my eyes. It's still a wonderful product and I wish I could still wear it.
