The best part of my job is getting to review new beauty products as it comes out I think. 😀
Today’s product is the Origins GinZing moisturizer!
Origins invited me, Jane and Redmummy for a briefing to introduce us to their GinZing range. Â There’s also a GinZing eye cream to match with the moisturizer actually.
The first time I’d heard of Origins was when I was in the US walking around Macy’s wtf. Â I never stopped to take a closer look but my impression was a very organic skincare brand.
I was right!  I didn’t know Origins before that because it was only a few years later that Origins hit Malaysian shores.  But it’s stayed true to its philosophy of organic, environmentally friendly products. Apparently even their packaging is made from recycled material and most of them can be recycled again.
The GinZing moisturizer contains three main ingredients – ginseng for energy (looks like I missed out the ginseng in this picture dang), chestnut seeds for smoothing and caffeine to restore radiance.
We took a sniff and smelled fresh orange! Â Turned out there’s also citrus oils in it – grapefruit oil for the smell and anti-irritancy benefits, spearmint oil for energy and lemon oil to dispel fatigue (ie wake you up wtf) and increase concentration.
Caffeine is found to be a powerful anti-irritant so Origins extracted it and put it in a jar. Â Anti-irritation means it will be soothing for your skin. ^^
GinZing pyramid! Â Love the citrus smell I kept sniffing it hahaha.
So I ghot my very own jar of GinZing to take home and try.
It’s a gel moisturizer so it’s very light and cool!
Goes on very smoothly. Â It’s very lightweight so it’s suitable for humid Malaysian weather, yet moisturizing.
(so moisturizing that when I accidentally spilt some and wiped it on my leg to not waste it, my leg is still very soft after a whole day! Â Usually my leg skin damn dry and flaky one hahaha)
Smooth and easy to apply too so it’s good for those people who go out late nights clubbing then stumble in to class/opis next morning wtf.  Since the ingredients in it are meant to revive tired skin (and people), it should be good for those people too and those with crazy hectic lives and for only RM100 it’s such an affordable addiction! ^^
New addiction! Â Kinda regret never giving Origins a try until now haha.
And guess what I’m giving away GinZing Energy-boosting moisturizer to 5 readers!
All you have to do is reply in the comments (with your email address) and answer this question:
GinZing is actually very affordable for a premium skincare product, so what are your affordable addictions? Â (basically beauty/skin products, whether purchased or home remedies, that you cannot live without)
I’ll pick the most interesting 5 and each one will win a jar of GinZing moisturizer each! (Winners must be in Malaysia ah if not how to pass you the thing wtf)

my affordable addiction is the Out Of Trouble mask from Origins because every time after i applied this mask on face, the redness on my face caused by the pimples become less visible. This Out Of Trouble mask also give me a cooling effect. Besides, i used to mix salt and lemon juice and apply them on my face. This help to tighten my pores. There is another special remedy that is taught by my mother, which is to apply fresh aloevera on my body. i always apply some fresh aloevera on my body every night before i go to bed and i will wake up in the next morning feeling that my skin is still soft and moistured although i slept in an air conditioned room for the whole night. All the fresh aloevera that i used are planted by my father in our gardens so they are 100% organic 😀

My addiction would be ice water. Somehow my skin looks brighter + firmer + smoother when i rinse with ice/cold water. My skin was so awesome when i was in Korea (during winter) and it lasted 1 week after i come back to malaysia. Michele Phan has this Green Tea + Vitamin E ice mask that is super awesome too. Just brew a cup of green tea and add a capsule of vitamin E (squeezed out) and freeze it into small ice cubes. When it’s done just rub it all over the face. Awesomeness in a jiffy!
It has got to be plain ol’ Vaseline! It got me through a few winters and now airconditioned rooms. I’ve tried so many moisturising products, this is still the least greasy – even in Malaysia! xx
My affordable addiction would be ice cube. Ice cube is a MUST try remedy! It tightens the pores and calm the pimples, now my face is clearer and brighter. And what I love the most that it is natural. This doesn’t have negative effect. nnWhen I have irritated inflamed pimples, I would wrap an ice cube in a napkin and apply it to the area for 20-30 seconds. After doing this for about 5 minutes the pimple will significantly go down in size and redness around the area.nnThis method not only works for pimples, this technique could be “anti-aging” because of the increased blood flow. Your face will feel so refreshed and smoother. Try it! I promise you’ll like it!
Dream to own one with a cost of RM100 for a jar of moisturizer; and also its organic and friendly.rnBut I cannot get in Ipoh…too bad
At RM100 for a moisturizer and it’s ORIGINS……organic and environment friendly. wow! unbelievable…..but cannot get it at Ipoh.
My affordable addiction would be the Johnson’s body care body lotion + cocoa butter + Vaseline I apply on my arms and legs every night before sleeping! Super moisturising and made me smell good because I apply the body lotion the last. Definitely affordable because I think it costs more or less 60 bucks and last very long! And it’s literally an addiction because I can’t sleep without those three things and I need them every single night hahaha. nnOn a side note, congrats to you and Tim! Can’t wait to see fighter! :Dnnemail : hor_karyan@hotmail.com

What’s my affordable addiction?nnDefinitely a good lippie. I love lip products with a passion and love to try all sorts of lip glosses, lip tints, lip plumpers, lip balms etc. To me, lip products are definitely the cheapest cosmetics as they tend to run a long way – regardless of the price! My favourite lip product at the moment is the Etude House Apricot Stick (in 08 Cherry) as it is amazingly cheap and produces excellent pigmentation. Super love.
I love making home made mask for my sensitive and acne prone skin! It’s a home remedies of egg whites, oats, honey and lemon! Egg whites tightened pores, oats and honey moisturise, and lemon brighten skin! Very good eh! >.< sugar and honey make very good (sweet and delicious) lip scrub too! ^^*

Hi 🙂 I cannot live without my H2O~+ moisturizer. It’s very good and when I’m having sunburn in school activities I will apply a thin layer of this moisturizer. It soothes my skin and the next day I can go outing with friends. Therefore, when I’m goin for prom or party, before the big day, I will apply a thick layer of this moisturizer and wash it off the next day. It brightens up my skin and it will be easier for me to put on make up. Therefore, I apply it every morning so my skin does not get very dry and dark. I love this products very much. I used it for about 3 years and it gives me very good skin condition. Thank you 🙂
My affordable addiction is sleep and water, Seriously, I am so tired at the end of my hectic hospital rounds and thick textbooks that I have no idea what skincare regime i should follow, the best now i can do is normally just wash my face and slap on some moisturizer that I could lay my hands on and sleep. I envy ladies who have time for facial and proper skincare, I’m 25 and i already have crow-feet eyes!! Holy moly!! Don’t know if this moisturiszer works for my combination skin but will continue seeking holy grail of skincare, one that works miracles for me 🙂 Have a great day pretty ladies!
They say love gives you the best blush. Happiness gives you the best smile. What to do if you’re single and walloping that gallon of ice cream? Use the rind of watermelon after eating it all of course! And spread it all over your face and neck and just let the cool sensation well cool you down. Tightens the skin and rejuvenates you. 🙂
