Origins Vitazing Tinted Moisturizer

Continuing on my trend with "eco-friendly" products which are pretty good for sensitive skin, this tinted moisturizer packs a good wallop. It is from Origins which, in my experience, are a pretty good brand because they make products which are "formulated with natural certified organic ingredients, and natural oils." They are formulated without parabens, phthalates, mineral oil and a bunch of other crap I cant pronounce that is apparently bad for you... What I like too is that they make the stuff using renewable energy resources, and have packaging which contains recycled content or in some cases is biodegradable.. good stuff haw? 

Anyhow, I like that it has SPF 15 because I would prefer to NOT have skin cancer, and it advertises that because of the mangosteen and ginseng ingredients, among others, it wakes your skin up so that you don't look so frickin tired all the time. This was the selling point for me because I NEVER slept when I was doing my masters, a condition which unfortunately affects us all, remember my trick with the toner and the fridge ;)

I liked this a lot, because of the SPF, natural ingredients, and because it did a pretty good job on my skin, I think I had less blotchyness overall but I was hoping for a tad more coverage from the tint. I also felt that my skin was a bit oily with this (looked like I could fry an egg with all that grease).... ahem! It worked fine if I used a powder on top, so I am almost out of it. I would buy it again because I like the product, especially how it adjusts the color based on your skin tone, its actually kinda fun to rub it in and see the color change, and in the end I do feel like my face looks a bit more "awake" and youthful. Its just the damn greasyness I don't like, so I might dig around for something else when this finally runs out. 

Cost wise its good even though its about $35 because it lasts a good while, I got mine like 6 months ago and its still going. You get what you pay for sometimes, and with skincare I don't really mess with the stuff that is dirt cheap, i try to stay on the safe side with a brand I trust.  However, there are things out there that really are cheap and great but that is for another post.....
