Origins is a store that will lure you in with products that smell incredible. I love the full size store that is in this mall, and I visit it on every trip there. They have products for men and women, and have a full line of skincare, body products and makeup. I like their lip balm, and have used it for a few years now. (They send me a coupon on my birthday for $10 off anything in the store.) I find the balm to be pricey, but I get it for free, so what the heck. The other product I regularly buy is their Spot Remover. It is a spot acne treatment, and it works pretty well for those occasional flareups. The reason I like to visit on every mall trip is their fun trial area. They have a sink and paper towels so you can try their soaps and scrubs and have access to the sink to wash them off. I am a germ-o-phobe, so I love to wash my hands with a fancy scrub when I am shopping. It is a great way to try the products and get clean at the same time.
I have to admit though, as with other scented products, both myself and my husband have had allergic reactions to a few of their scrubs. He had it bad with the pomegranate, and I had it with some ginger-y scrub. He is not usually sensitive, so that is a sign that perhaps the fruit acids are pretty aggressive. Either way, trying before you buy is extremely helpful. The associates are friendly, and the products can be pretty unique.
