    I've been using their Night-A-Mins moisurizer for years now and I love it. I have combination skin and it doesn't cause me to have breakouts like some of the heavier lotions do. The only other product of theirs I've used was the lipstick in the pink container (can't remember what it's called) and I really liked it too.

    Mrs. Peep Toe just posted about Origins this morning. It's her latest "Bridal Glow" post. It may be helpful to you. I am considering trying some of their products too.

    I love the orange facial scrub that comes in a short little pot, and also love the Night-a-Mins (smells sooooooooo good!)

    I use their eye cream and love it! It goes on silky and smooth and feels relaxing just putting it on! I have very sensistive skin and their products don't irritate me at all in case you are worried about that.

    I love them!  Modern Friction is my favorite Origins product.

    It's more of a beauty than a body product, but I love their Smileage Plus lip gloss.  Kind of like a chapstick, but with a touch of color.

    Origins is the only thing I've used for several years, and my aesthetician compliments me on my skin every time I go in for a facial, so I must be doing something right with my skincare regimen!  I use Modern Friction, Never a Dull Moment cleanser and occasionally the scrub, A Perfect World for eyes, skin guardian, and moisturizer, and Night-a-Mins.  Their products are relatively expensive, but the results are well worth it, and if you use them properly, they do last a long time.

    azwinelover, how long do they last you about? I wanna switch to something better but I have trouble justifying the expense. I know its stupid cause i should take care of myself but it's a hard amount of money to swallow

    Love, love, love Modern Friction!  I've been using it for a couple of years.  I am getting ready to switch over to Origins for face care (from Clinique) and can't wait!

    I use Checks & Balances in the shower, Modern Friction 3 times a week and their charcoal face mask once every two weeks. I use their A Perfect World skin tea guardian, which smoothes the skin, before the A Perfect World anti-oxidant moisturizer. They have a ginger scrub that does wonder for the rest of my body and wakes me up.  I don't have acne, but I get occasional pimples and blackheads. 

     

    btw, these products last forever.  Even my 1oz container of Perfect World skin guardian has gone two months and hasn't run out yet.  I usually buy Checks and Balances every 4-6 months.  It takes a suprisingly little amount per application.

    Once in a while I buy their spot remover to clear up anything that may be lurking on my face or back.  It is twelve dollars for a tiny tiny container, but it is very potent and gets the job done!

    i broke down and did it last night - i know it's too soon to really tell, but after two uses i actually LOOK forward to washing my face the next time ;)  i got the clean energy cleanser, a perfect world toner, a perfect world White tea skin guardian, a perfect world Antioxidant moisturizer with White Tea and the modern friction scrub.  yes, i did buy out the store - i'm sure the sales girl loved me! ;)  but so far i am in love and can't wait to keep using it!!

     any one use any of the eye products?  i would like to get one.  my skin around my eyes tends to get pretty dry!  thanks for all the advice ladies!!

    i've been using it since thursday and i've had a couple spots since then, not really zits but a little something, but i was wondering if it cleans out your skin before making it better.  nothing really concerning but just wondering if anyone's experienced that before??
