Guide Review - Origins: Ginzing

After my youngest child was born, I took my face to the nearest upscale makeup counter for an overhaul, especially for my puffy, dark under eye circles. Ten minutes later, my fatigue was expertly concealed via a 3-step process with award-winning products and an $80 price tag. And we hadn’t even discussed eye creams yet.

In addition to tired eyes, there’s something else you should know about me: I’m lazy. And cheap. I have the best of intentions, but the reality is that 2-in-1 products were made for me. The higher the performance, the more I’m willing to pay so I can have the satisfaction of looking great without undergoing a “process” to get there.

Origins GinZing Eye Cream gives me the brightness I used to achieve via applying concealer (the 3-step process mentioned above), and also depuffs and nourishes the under-eye area. Applying the cream is quick, easy and fool-proof. A dab of the cream goes a long way, so I don’t mind the almost $30 price tag.

And, unlike some eye creams, it feels great on! No irritation or redness. No minty tingle. Just refreshing.

One downside to this product is that it doesn’t look the best on a bare face. The Silica and Mica leave a shimmer on the skin which does help brighten the eye area, but it looks more natural with a little powder on the rest of the face.

Also worth mentioning: This cream isn't meant to substitute a more-intensive anti-aging eye cream, like the kind you might apply at night. So, if you're looking for those benefits, you'll have to add a night cream to your skin care regimen as well. But it’s great in the morning. And it works as advertised!
