I've
had this face mask for a couple months so far but really wanted to give
it a fair go before I told you my opinion on it. I had seen and heard
about Origins from other blogger for ages and ages before I succumbed
and went to Sephora. To be honest this is probably one of the first skin
care products that I've bought without doing my research, which is
probably why it won't be being repurchasing this again (but we'll come
to that in a bit). My skin is extremely sensitive to new products so I
always make sure that I check blog posts, video reviews, magazine
ratings, ect before I buy anything, especially if i'm going to be
spending a pretty penny on it. You live and learn and I feel I have had
my fair share of teachings..cue sad montage of pimply teenage Becca.
I'm
a huge believer that when it comes to skin care it is definitely worth
parting a good $30 or $40 dollars, especially if it means that your
going to get the results you need -want. Although I know that there are
some crazy low budget miracle workers out there as well. This is why
when you do hype yourself up to just go for it, to purchase that clean
velvety bottle of needless necessity and it doesn't turn out, I turn
into a very grumpy camper.
Now,
finally onto why this $28.00 tube of citrusy doom just wasn't my cup of
tea. Although I do love the aroma of it, and really wish I could get a
shampoo in the apricoty concoction, this mask has just done absolutely
nothing in helping my skin fight against the cold dry Canadian winters.
However, to be fair it hasn't done anything to hinder it either. It has a
great thick consistency however when you put it on it doesn't sink into
your skin, rather it sits on top and mocks you for falling for the
simplistic charm of it's packaging. Why do I always think that if
something is beautiful that it's gonna treat me right. Two words. Daddy
Issues.
I don't know it was just me who felt that it
coated my skin without giving any hydration, but I've since looked at
some reviews and have come to a conclusion. It's pretty much just me. I
don't know why but no matter what I do I can't seem to make this mask
work for me. I've tried leaving it on for the 10 minutes it says, I've
tried 30 minutes, going to bed with it on and washing it off in the
morning, I've used it as a moisturizer. Nothing has worked and each time
I use it I like it less and less. Although it does say that it's the
fountain of youth so maybe I'm already
just so youthful that it doesn't have
anything to work on. Probably not though.
So
since this mask hasn't worked..at all.. I am in the marked for a new
moisturizing mask that will actually do something, anything at all, just
something. I would love to hear your suggestions so please let me know
in the comments!
