Video Review: Josie Maran’s Argan Oil

OMG, I’m on TV!! Actually, I’ve been playing around with video the last couple of days and have become much more comfortable speaking and showing my face on the screen (it’s harder than it looks!), and now that I have a macbook pro, it’s super-easy to use the built in camera to record videos…so you’ll be seeing more of me! And I couldn’t quite figure out a good way to review the Argan Oil that I use on my face, other than by showing my face!

Enjoy!!

Some things that I didn’t mention in the video – the oil is obviously initially “oily” but it soaks in quickly, especially if you don’t use too much. You should experiment with the right amount for your face, but I always use a lot…and I’ve only been through half the bottle in 4 months. And you can use this on your hair, cuticles, etc., but I never have. I mentioned that I do use it on the tops of my hands after I put it on my face, but I’ve never tried it on my hair, I’m not sure where or how I would do that. I can also see how it would be fabulous for elbows, mine always get really dry in the Summer…

Oh, and I’m 37, for reference :)

Have you guys tried it? what did you think?

note from grechen: this post has been submitted by the boutique or designer. this is a free service we provide, it is NOT an advertisement, and every post has been moderated to make sure it meets MY standards. enjoy!

Designers Shawna Robinson and Natalie Sydoruk have been collaborating since March 2007 on their clothing line, Label. The idea was born out of their mutual desire for quality clothing that fit their unique lifestyles. Shawna, a freelance wardrobe stylist and aspiring artist, and Natalie, a model, both desired clothing that would allow them to bounce around the city looking polished and modern, without compromising comfort, aesthetics or their dignity.

Natalie and Shawna are deeply committed to creating clothing from an ethical standpoint, utilizing, wherever possible, organic, renewable or reclaimed fibers for their garments. Production is by local and all fabric waste is used by a local stuffed creature artist.
