Origins Holiday Gift Set: Morning to Midnight

I did it. I finally did it. Well, not me actually but my husband did it. As I mentioned before in my previous blog post I was seriously coveting this Gift Set from Origins and since it was my four year anniversary with my husband (we've only been married for one year but have been together for four) he was very kind and decided to take me to the store and purchase it for me. Not much of a surprise but I was ecstatic walking out of the store with this little baby!



The gift set is absolutely adorable and it has many a good products in this little box. For $52 I think it is an amazing deal for all the products you get. 

First of all, you get the Drink Up Intensive Overnight mask which is amazing!
I have oily skin but this product balances my oils and leaves
my skin looking amazing in the morning! This is
half of the full size bottle. 


Then you get the Ginzing Refreshing eye cream which is amazing!
It really leaves your eyes feeling refreshed and thoroughly
de-puffed. Again this is half of the full size.


Thirdly, there is a 30mL size of the Ginzing Energy-boosting Moisturizer.
The smell is to die for! I love orange and this is just so good.
My husband loves the smell as well and it is refreshing and very
light on the skin. It does not make my face oily which is awesome.


Last but not least, a full size of the High-Potency Night-a-Mins
This stuff seriously rocks and it has so many great benefits to it and 
has loads of vitamins that you just cant go wrong. It leaves my skin feeling
smooth, thoroughly moisturized and it is non-greasy. 

All I can say is I am thoroughly pleased with my gift and I could not be happier with my skin care routine at the moment. My skin has never looked better and I just have to thank Origins for producing such amazing products that are not only great for us but for the environment as well. 

A big thumbs up to all these products!

Let me know what your favorite Origins products are and what you recommend because I just want to try everything.

Origins Sample Crazy

Recently I have been having a bit of a dilemma with my skin, I wasn't really impressed with my skin care routine and as a result my skin wasn't looking too great. I was trying to use up some of the products I had lying around my bathroom. I have a major tendency to buy new products when I am barely halfway done with my old ones? Does anybody else do this or is it only me?

Watching lots of YouTube videos and reading many different blogs, you just want to try so many products out because everybody recommends different things and I just want to try them all out. That is very bad for my bank account and the decreasing storage in my bathroom ha-ha.

With that being said, I was not liking how my skin was looking so one day while shopping with my sister and her friend, I was really bored and just wandering around the mall and there was Origins, right in front of me and I thought to myself, I have not used their skin care products in a while and I really liked them before. So I walked in to the store and sales girl was lovely and so helpful! Origins has some of the best Customer Service I have ever experienced. The people in there really listen to you and are really knowledgeable about all the products.

So any-who, I explained to her that I really wanted a Day and a Night moisturizer and I explained that I have Oily skin but my skin feels like it is so dehydrated and I really want to balance it out. So she recommended the Ginzing Moisturizer for the day and Night-A-Mins for the night and I will say I am thoroughly impressed. She made me samples of those two but she also made me samples of the Make A Difference Oil-Free Moisturizer and Make A Difference Ultra which is an intense cream for people with super dry skin.


I really like how it made my skin feel but I did break out the next day on my chin and temple area because of how rich the cream is.

On top of having oily skin that is dehydrated, it is also very sensitive. A serious pain to take care of but I am really impressed with the Ginzing Moisturizer and the Night-a-Mins that I am going to go back soon and purchase the cutest Holiday set that includes those two products plus a night mask and a Ginzing eye cream for $52. That is an insanely good price considering Night-a-Mins costs about $40 on its own. Morning to Midnight Holiday Gift Set

It is the perfect time of year to buy yourself goodies because all these stores are doing amazing deals and I just want to take advantage of them all!!

Let me know what your favorite Holiday gift sets are for this year!
