Origins Natural Resources

I went in today to buy my clean energy face cleanser. Which I usually buy online but I saw some promotion so I figured what the heck… This is why I hate shopping in stores… The guy who helped me was so rude!!! I knew exactly what I wanted so I denied his offer of help. I guess that meant it was on… So I go to the table that has the free gift with a $ 45 purchase on it and it says «choose your samples and choose your bag» so I go and take the 3 samples I wanted & this dude comes up to me in his most obnoxious snobby Manhattan voice and said «ummmm yeahhhhhh actualllyyyy this is a display» and proceeds to use two pinned together fingers to rudely pluck a tiny bottle of sample out of my hand and then again with the bag… Wtf. There was no excuse for being so obnoxious and making the customer feel like a stupid idiot for trying to SHOP in their store. I was not making a mess, I sodnt $ 56 on two face cleansers… A little respect please??? Well back to online shopping for me. I will not be shopping at this location ever again!
The clean energy cleanser is awesome though … Just get it online when there’s a good offer

I came in and got a FABULOUS mini-​facial from Mike B. I cannot say enough good things about him. He was so nice, professional, and my skin felt amazing amazing afterwards. He was just lovely. And I looked GREAT afterwards. :) Ask for him if you can!
No pressure afterwards either– I bought what I wanted (face wash AND a really nice serum, which I tried for the first time that day during my facial and now ADORE) and because of a special promotion I got a free exfoliating brush too! I’ve always been a big fan of Origins products and this store is clean, well-​organized, and the staff is really friendly and nice. Two big thumbs up!
(Also: this place is WAY nicer than the Origins in Grand Central. Go here!!)

The products are amazing (5 stars!), however, the salespeople could care less about you.

Stopped in today for the free mini facial. My previous experience of Origins was the giant minty gum until I received a gift set for the holidays.
The staff was wonderful! Michael did my mini facial and did a wonderful job! I felt pampered and not at all like it was a sales pitch.
I love the products and they were nicely explained to me. I will definitely be back!

I was just here and the sales guy was so helpful. I bought two products. Also, he gave a great demonstration and explanation about the products after telling him what I was looking for. Lastly, I had a free facial in which he gave me a card notifying me about the products that were used.

Lovely staff!!! Wow! I didn’t even buy anything and they gave me the VIP treatment! BEST place for skin… End of story!
They are even going to call me to check on me!!!

Jeffery gave me a great mini facial. My face was ready for the creamy action and I couldn’t get enough. He explained the entire regimen as he applied and also chatted with a professional yet personal and friendly demeanor. He have me some mini samples and a brochure to take home so I could learn more about the products. The experience was great and I will definitely be back again! The products are a little pricey, but great skin is worth every penny.

This was my first time purchasing Origins product from the store instead of online. It was a delightful experience — the service that I received was impeccable. The staff was very knowledgeable of all the different product lines, let me sample a few to compare, and shared his experience with some of the products. Moreover, he even packed some samples for me to try so that I could decide which line was best for me.
I just wish that Origins would have better deals in store. I purchased over $ 150 of Origins products and my only free gift (beyond the samples he passed to me) was a smoothie bottle. I find this unfortunate because the shopping experience at Origins is great, but the frequent deals online are more worth it. From $ 10 off any purchase over $ 30, to free full sized samples, to 3 deluxe samples, so on and so forth. The almost non-​existent deals in store are hard to comprehend, but this is not the fault of this Origins branch by any means.

I came here for a free mini facial and it felt like more than that. They used almost the entire mega mushroom line on my dry sensitive skin and I walked out feeling marvelous. They also provided me with samples of everything they used on my face. I love their little containers. Can definitely reuse them for travel when I’m done with the products.
I think my favorite product was the Mega mushroom serum. It really does make your skin smooth and less red. Will probably go buy the full size bottle after I’m done with the samples.

This is a glowing review for my experience at the Origins store in the Flatiron District in NY! Store #919 175 Fifth Ave.
I was walking down the street when I saw an inviting sign from Origins offering Free Facials. I thought, «Well, I never had a facial before so why not give it a shot?» I walked into the warm and inviting store and found myself browsing through the products while another client was wrapping up their free facial. I always came to Origins to purchase items as gifts for either my mom or my sister since they love the products here. Although it is on the pricier side, the quality of the products is worth every penny! I asked if I could receive a free facial and the manager was so sweet and told me Jeffrey would be taking care of me.
From the very beginning, Jeffrey asked me all the right questions about the type of skin I have, where my trouble areas on my face were, and what was my daily skin care routine. He was sensitive to the way he asked these questions and listened attentively to provide me with a personalized treatment using the Origins products. I loved that it wasn’t a 1,2,3 step system where 1 set of products was fair game for all types of faces. Jeffrey was personable yet professional the entire time. My skin was in heaven thanks to Jeffrey. Throughout the facial, he made me feel relaxed and comfortable, and made the whole experience that much more enjoyable. In a busy store right on Fifth Ave in NYC, he made me feel like I was the only person in the room. Whenever he introduced the next product on my face, he would check in and ask how the product feels on my face – I felt like my skin was being allowed to breathe for the first time in a long time thanks to his expertise. Jeffrey also taught me something that I could not learn in a beauty magazine, at a drugstore in front of the makeup section, or while watching TV. He taught me that taking care of your skin first, is the foundation to a healthier and more radiant complexion. Here I was, caking my face on with pounds of makeup, every morning to start my day. This was the first time my skin felt beautiful without having to put on anything on my face. Jeffrey was simply extraordinary in his professionalism, customer service, and product knowledge. He deserves a bonus. Do yourself a favor and run to this Origins. Ask for Jeffrey!

I met up with a friend to do some shopping and we happened to meet outside this store. I asked if we could go in because my hands were super dry and I needed to «try» some lotion. I must say, the sales clerk pointed me to some hand lotion and was not at ALL pushy about me buying it. Also, the lotion was really actually awesome and my hands felt great all day! I have really dry skin and for me to have felt hydrated all day is really a plus. It cost about $ 40 I think. I actually might go back to buy it!
The store/​brand has a lot to offer and isn’t as overpriced as I was expecting.

I had tons of skincare concerns and even seen dermatologists to no avail. I decided to go to get the free facial here over the holidays, it was my first facial ever and I figured, what could it hurt to have someone massage my face, and goodbye skin problems. Who knew all it would take was a good skincare regimen to start looking my best again. Shernay did my facial but is no longer there, alas, Linda who trained her in making skin glow is still there and available to give facials. Go, do this for yourself, you’ll thank me later ;)!

Girlfriend wanted to try the free facial and I figured why not… better than just standing there waiting right? Well let me say I walked away with such a better understanding of what can make my face look better and feel better, especially after shaving!
Again totally worth the price you’ll pay for great service and natural awesome products!

Love this place! I’ve been in the store plenty of times and have always had amazing service. I went to the store today actually and a sweet woman named Rachel helped me. I told her what I was looking for and she was more than willing to help me. She suggested several products for me, gave me samples, showed me how to use them, and wrote out directions. Some of the best service I’ve ever gotten considering the number of people who are like «What do you want», give you the product, end of story. So it was really pleasant to have someone so helpful. They have great products including their foundation, blush, pressed powder and skincare line. It’s reasonably priced in the cosmetics/​skincare industry too!

Origins ist eine Bio-​Wellness-​Kette in den USA, die ihre schönste Filliale wohl im Flatiron Building hat. In dessen Art-​Deco-​Design passt sich der Laden wunderbar ein. Über eine historische Drehtür gelangt man in den modernen und lichtdurchfluteten Shop.
Hier findet man bestimmt ein schönes Mitbringsel für Daheimgebliebene — von liebevoll zusammengestellten Tee-​Mischungen bis hin zu Kosmetikprodukten und Accessoires. Etws besonderes sind die exquisiten Verpackungen. Sie veredeln den Inhalt auf besondere Weise.
Ich habe mich dafür entschieden als Geschenk eine Zusammenstellung von Tees (8 Nylon-​Pyramidenbeutel für 25 $) und eine passende Tasse mit Deckel (35 $) mitzunehmen. Beides ist schön aufeinander abgestimmt: Die grünen Bändchen an den Beuteln enden mit einem kleinen Teeblatt, das aus der Tasse herausragt. Dafür ist im Deckel der Tasse eine kleine Aussparung. Ein paar sehr nette Details
Der Schwerpunkt der Produktpalette liegt aber definitiv auf Kosmetika und die Preise sind recht hoch. Dafür bekommt man aber etwas sehr Stilvolles.

I don’t like why people are hating on Origins, it’s the only stuff I put on my face– skincare wise. I discovered them last November in Cambridge and have been a devout customer since then. The girls are always so helpful and knowledgeable. There have definitely been moments when they tried selling me something but I ended up buying it anyway and OH GOD IT WAS SO WORTH IT.
This is the only stuff that has worked on my skin and I’ve tried it all. Perhaps a little on the pricey side but I just got a coupon in the mail for $ 10 off any purchase of $ 25 or more AND got a letter for 25% off my purchase. That sounds like a sweet deal to me.
I was a little surprised about this particular location. Maybe I caught them at an off time? There were only two customers in the store and one half was entirely not in use. Maybe they could save on rent and cut down a bit.
Regardless, I wholeheartedly recommend their products. You have to spend some to look good. Or at least feel good about using products that haven’t been sitting in CVS for three years.

i am breaking out. i got a facial here and i am breaking out because of it.
i’d never gotten a facial before, and i’m not sure i ever will again based on this experience. but it could’ve just been the ineptitude of the girl giving me the facial that turned me off from it.
she wasn’t even a regular fixture at the store; she works in marketing at the corporate headquarters. she didn’t know what she was doing and kept having to ask the other girl giving facials which products to use on me. she kept bashing my beauty regimen (i hate when people do that! as if they even know me!) and insisting that i buy all 67 of the products she was using on me. um, no thanks.
she kept trying to use the wrong products on me. the other girl kept having to correct her. the facial included an arm massage and, while my friends all got both their arms massaged, for some reason she only massaged one of mine.
in the end, i did purchase two products. but i’ve sworn against letting others touch and exfoliate my face for me… ugh.

I came in here looking for a diffuser… they only had one kind… ginger… i don’t like anything ginger… oh well… store is really weird… like a railroad style apartment… staff is ok I guess… not overly helpful… idk… this store is just blah… it’s in such a historical building… you would think that they would make it look better… blah…
