(Almost) empty jar: Origins matte moisturizer with willowherb


As a person with oily T- zone, I'm always on a hunt for good mattifying product. Greasy face, by my opinion, makes you look messy, sweaty and unattractive. Healthy glow on the other hand is something I like.


This is my first product from Origins and based on reviews I had really high expectations. Let me just say that this moisturizer failed all possible tests. It couldn’t keep me matt, not even on the beginning. After a few hours I always looked terrible - super shiny and of course greasy. It didn’t work with primers, foundations or compact powders. What a shame! Luckily I bought the smallest jar.


It has light, almost jelly like texture and absorbs very quickly, leaving that fresh feeling. That’s the only positive thing about it. And ok the packaging is cute, but I prefer containers with pump. Otherwise it is just like average drugstore moisturizer with heavier price tag. It has powerful and overly sweet smell, but that luckily goes away quickly.


So overall impression: Disappointed! I also wanted to try an eye cream from their GinZing line, but now I’m not sure anymore.
