The box contained a 1.7 oz matte moisturizer, .5 oz Renewal Serum and a 1 oz retexturizing mask with rose clay.
I first tried the mask. I was a bit concerned that it may cause irritation to my face as I have had irritation from several different types of masks including one that contained rose oil.
Fortunately this mask did not give me any problems. It had a light fresh rose scent and was pleasantly cooling when applied but not uncomfortably tingly.
When I washed it off and dried my face my skin felt clean but not overly tight or dry. It was a very nice mask experience.
Then I tried the moisturizer which also had a light rose scent. It also had a fun, squishy jelly texture as opposed to a creamy one like most lotions. I found it to be very soothing and hydrating but it absorbed quickly and left my face with a soft matte finish which I had never experienced before. It reminds me of the texture of a makeup primer which makes me believe it's claims that it enhances the wear of makeup. I can't wait to try it under a full face of makeup and see how it performs.
I have not tried the serum yet but it plan to use it as a PM moisturizer after removing makeup.
Overall I am really pleased with the feel and performance of these products. This line is available exclusively at Sephora and although I like these products I probably would not purchase them do to their higher end price point.
I was really glad to have the opportunity to test out these products and the sample sizes are quite generous and should last for a good little while. I will probably take them on my upcoming vacation.

Have you ever tried Origins skincare?
Ooh, Origins - nice selection there. You got a good box. I used to use their mint face wash back in the day when I was a lot younger and my skin was oilier - I'm not sure how I'd handle it now, because it was very, very strong and kind of drying, but the scent was divine. I remember it being awesome for taking off grime at the end of a long, hot, sweaty day - you feel very tingly and burnished after!
ReplyDeleteOrigins tends to have some nice skin care products. Congrats on the score. There ginger based line is pretty nice.
