Skin Care Product Review: Origins

Happy Friday!!! I have had a pretty busy day and just getting to writing this post. I am going to be reviewing the Origins products that I purchased on Black Friday from Sephora. It was part of the 10 dollar deals they have during the holiday season. Let's get into the reviews.


The box of the Origins came with three different products and all were sample size. It was great if you wanted to try out the product before purchasing the full size. I am still using these samples, you really get more than a couple uses out them. I have tried Origins previously and really loved them! I just can't use a whole line (cleanser, toner, moisturizer) or my face would break out. I can use products individually.

Clear Improvements


This charcoal mask helps get down into your pores and clear them of impurities. I love using charcoal mask because they really draw dirt out and clear your pores. This one really did what it was supposed to. I noticed a big difference after using this mask. My skin felt so refreshed and looked amazing. I use this mask once a week and the full size product is 17.00 for the 1.7 oz and  25.00 for the 3.4 oz.

Drink It Up Intensive


I always wanted to try an overnight facial mask. I was afraid that the mask would get all over the pillows and make a mess. That is not the case with this one. I haven't had a messy pillow case at all. I love that this mask smells like candy!! It makes me want to eat it lol! It has a nice, silky texture and doesn't feel heavy at all on the skin. It really absorbs into the skin during the night and left my skin feeling super soft the next morning. The full size of this mask is 17.00 and 25.00 for the 1.7 and 3.4 oz bottles.

Modern Friction


I tried this gentle dermabrasion a couple years ago and it broke my face out. I think it was from using all the Origins products at the same time. I was a little hesitant on giving this a try again but I wanted to see if I could use this product alone. Good news, it didn't irritate my skin at all!! I love how gentle and creamy this product is. You really don't feel the exfoliation too much. It really left my skin feeling very smooth and soft. I think I can use this product now. The full sizes are 20.00 for 1.7 oz and 39.50 for 4.2 oz.

Overall, I had a great experience with Origins this time around. I really love the results I got and how my skin looks and feels. I would go on and repurchase the full size products. How you tried anything from Origins? What were some of your favorites? Comment below and let me know. Have a great weekend and see you Sunday!!

  2. I haven't tried any origins skincare but my friend loves the Charcoal Mask. Maybe I will pick up a kit like this if they have something similar at Sephora or Macy's.

    1. You can go to Macy's and I think they would give you samples to try before purchasing. They should have the little sample kits too. Thanks for stopping by Tanya!

Taking a break.......

On Tuesday I did mention that I had some exciting news to share. I have been working part time for a while and searching like crazy for full time work. I was starting to get a little frustrated but never gave up. Well a full time opportunity came up at my current job and I am now full time status!!! I was just so overjoyed and thankful. I will have a more stable income, I can go back to school and start to make some moves. Then I started to get a little overwhelmed. How was I going to juggle being a full-time working mom, grad student, blogger and balance everything else. It has been a while since I had a full time schedule and based my blogging schedule around my days off during the week. I start my full time hours next week and just need to take a small break away from Naturalle Drea. I really didn't want to because I love this so much but I need to see how to handle everything. I will most likely change my blogging schedule around. Thank you to those who have been encouraging to...

Updated: How I currently store my makeup

Hey guys! Back in January, I took everyone through my entire, well majority of my makeup collection. I showed how I used to store my makeup. You can see that original post  here.  I had everything stored in my empty Birchboxes. It was working for a while until I went to two makeup shows and I didn't have a place for everything! As I was cleaning one day, I saw that had this tall storage bin with stuff that I don't even use anymore and thought it would be a great place to store all my makeup and still have it organized. Here is a picture of where my makeup is currently stored. I believe I purchased this 7 drawer unit at Walmart years ago and glad I kept it! It has come in handy. I'll take you through what is in each drawer. I'll start with the top of the unit where all my brushes, setting sprays (that I haven't used yet lol), OCC lip tars( I couldn't find anything to store them in but that red cup lol. I'll have to decorate it later.) and other items...

No Buy is Officially Over!!

Yay!! I survived 2 months without a single makeup purchase!! I am so proud of myself and knew I had the will power to do it!! It really helped me staying out of Sephora, Ulta and Mac, the usual places that get me in trouble lol! When I went into Target or Walmart, I wouldn't even go near the makeup section. Funny thing is, I haven't run to the store yet to purchase anything on my wish list yet but I will soon. You can see what is on my wish list here.  After organizing my makeup, I realized I have a lot of products that I don't use and need to try out soon. I'm going to try to really shop my stash before running out and buying something new. Maybe next time, I will go for a 3 month no buy!! Have you successfully completed a no buy? What is currently on your wish list? Comment below and let me know!! ~** Drea Notes**~ We went to the beach today and I'm so glad we did! It was such a fun day with the family!! I'm trying to get back to working out lol!  ...
