Quick Review: Orgins Plantscription Anti-Aging Eye Treatment

I can't remember where this sample came from.  It was sitting in my bin o samples and it called to me! (gotta love the bin o samples!)




Initial Thoughts: This is a good eye cream.  I was only able to use it for a few days so I cannot comment on any of the anti-aging properties it may have.  I can comment that it is very moisturizing and made the skin around my eyes feel very soft and smooth.  It also worked well under my eye makeup which was a plus.  Often any eye treatments don't play nice with my oily skin, but this one was great and I did not see any problems with my eye shadow from this. This is something I would consider purchasing in full size.

Quick Review: Weil Mega-Bright Skin Tone Correcting Serum

This sample was received from the brand. Please see end of post for full disclosure.

This one did NOT like me!



Initial Thoughts: I was only able to try this for two days before I started having a massive breakout.  It absorbed into the skin well, but I did not notice any positive effects from it.  This is why I love samples, you really never know how your face may react to something.  What works great for others can make another a pimply mess.  This one just did not work at all for me. My skin is oily and acne prone, but not super sensitive.  Maybe this would be better for those who are not prone to break out? 

The sample of this product was sent directly by the brand.  This is my honest review and not influenced by receipt of the sample.

Quick Review: Origins High Potency Night-A-Mins

Another quick review! Today is Origins High Potency Night-A-Mins Mineral-enriched Renewal Cream.  First, I love the name! I think its adorable.



Initial Thoughts:  Smells amazing! Citrus! Totally in love with the scent.  This is a very thick cream that takes a few minutes to absorb into the skin.  I put it on about an hour before I went to bed, and it left my skin a bit oily.  Then again, I have super oily skin and this product is designed for normal-dry skin so this was expected.  In the morning my skin was super soft. Another awesome benefit was I didn't wash my hand after applying and my hands were soooo soft in the morning! I think this would be an awesome cream for dry skin, but it was a bit too heavy for me.  Totally bums me out since it smells so good!
