Josie Maran Cosmetics

I received a sample of this in my Sephora order. I'm not often that impressed by samples I get, but with this one I was! If you have dry skin and are religious about SPF like I am, you might love this. I usually stay away from fragrance in my skin care and makeup products. This fragrance is light and gives my mood a little boost which is much needed in the mornings. It is so beautifully moisturizing and feels great going on. Love this stuff!

I honestly used to love this Argan Oil because it did a great job, but I believe the name made me continue to buy it more than whether or not it was the best oil out there. I eventually decided to try an oil I bought Trader Joe's and found it worked just as efficiently for a fraction of the price. If this doesn't put a dent in your pocket, I say go ahead and buy it, but, if you need to save and want another oil that works just as well, the Trader Joe's one will be a great substitute.

I brought it for the pretty packaging. But I could not get it to work for my very fine, long lashes. Very thick formula combined with sparse, wide apart bristles. Its almost impossible to get the mascara to stick onto my very fine lashes. I have to brush and brush for several minutes, and even then product barely sticks to my lashes, it just sticks to the brush and stays there. I manage to get a little onto the base and middle, but it just won't cover my lashes tips AT ALL. In the end it almost looks as if I've applied nothing at all, except on my lids where I get alot of smudges from trying to push the brush so many times through my lashes. Probably the least effective mascara I've tried.
