I have been using ORIGINS products for about 8 years now. I started using these products because I was around them each and every day. I was a manager at one of the locations, and most days I absolutely loved my job...Yes, it was retail, and yes, it was in the mall...But I got paid to give people make overs!!! Facials, Skin-Care Consultations, and Color...I was hooked! I was actually very good at selling cosmetics! It's not hard to sell the crap out of something that you absolutely love!!! I now sell softare, and lets just say...Although I'm great at my job, I dont really have the passion that I had for my ORIGINS products! I absolutely love the creative package, product names, & product quality. I was spoiled over the years, as I worked here during college...And now, I'm addicted to the stuff!! No more maybeline or Revlon for me!!! The ORIGINS product line is made from ingredients that are derived from the earth. They claim to not use any artificial colors, scents, or frangrances. I have never seen proof of this, but just knowing what I know about shelf-life...I dont think you could really consider it "all natural" Nonetheless...Women and men flock to these little cosmetics boutiques...Working here, I saw woman after woman lay down some serious cash-o-la for the likes of these products. It's definitely not a mainstream cosmetics line, but they definitely have their loyal customers. It's specialty cosmetics at their finest. And Yes, I am one of those loyal followers! Origins provides a full line of skin care, bath and body care, cosmetics, sensory therapy, hair care, and men's products. Men, I cannot stress this enough...Go here during Christmas and have the sales manager put together a special gift basket...This is not your typical Bath and Body store...Their specialty is gift giving, and their gift wrap is pretty extraordinary, special and free!

I no longer purchase any products at this location. Every time I visit, which is usually a weekday, the lady working there is super-lazy and can't be bothered to answer my questions. Origins is known for their mini-skin treatments, but not at this location. I hope their management will hire more welcoming and knowledgeable staff who aren't bored and aloof. Really unfair that they represent such fine products. Customer service and courtesy are very important to me, which is why I will purchase my products where I feel respected - not here. read more
