When I first started hearing all the hype surrounding Argan Oil it kind of freaked me out. Who wants to put oil on their face?? Over Christmas I ordered Josie Maran's Smoky-Eye Beauty-In-A-Box kit from Sephora. Inside were FULL sized samples of the Argan Infused Eyeliner, Argan Eyeshadow Quad, Argan Natural Volume Lip Golss, Argan Infused Lipstick, GOGO Instant Natural Volume Argan Mascara and last but not least, the infamous Argan Oil Moisturizer. I absolutely loved all the products in this kit but especially the Argan Oil. First, let me start off by saying that I like how it's a two-for-one product. Not only can it be used on your skin, but it doubles as a hair moisturizer! I applied it exactly how it instructed me to, being careful to not put too much on for fear that my face would look worse then the BP Oil Spill. After just one time using it, I noticed that my dry patches on my cheeks, forehead and nose were gone!! Now I use this every day before I apply my make-up. And I also use it in my hair on the ends, since that's where everyone's hair is the most dried out looking. I looked on Sephora's website to see how much it would be to buy a bottle of the Argan oil and it ranged from $14-$96. The $14 bottle is very small (0.05oz) and I don't think it would be worth the money, the next size up is the $48 bottle (1.7oz) which I believe is the size that came in the box I had ordered and then the $96 which is the 4oz bottle, which seems to be the best buy since the bottle is so big. You don't need a lot of this product to see results so the last two bottles I mentioned would definitely last a long time. I still have more then half of the bottle I received from my box and that box was ordered right before Christmas, so I've had and used it for almost 2 and a half months now! I think it's definitely worth giving this product a shot despite the price. You will really be pleased with the results!!

The first time I saw and tried this product I was in CVS. They had a sale on all their CHI haircare products so naturally I wanted to try it out. I never used to use a heat protectant on my hair and I don't know what I was thinking, especially because I straighten my hair pretty much every day with the CHI straightener. If anyone out there owns a CHI straightener, they know that there is only one setting: HOT!! I didn't realize or think about all the damage I was doing to my poor hair. My first use of this spray really showed me what I'd been missing out on by not using a protectant spray. My hair was soo silky and shiny and just felt healthier. And that was only after one use!! Now that I use it daily, I have really noticed a significant change in the health of my hair. I don't have breakage like I did before and it just has this radiant sheen to it that I can't stop admiring in the mirror (ok that totally sounded vain but seriously, you will be staring at the shine in your hair too!). The original price for this spray was $28 but it's a big bottle and you don't have to spray a ton on your hair to see results. And I almost forgot to mention that it smells AMAZING!! If you are in between washes, a little spritz of this and your hair smells great again!

I absolutely adore this product!! I use it after every shower. I find that my hair has been damaged from years of tanning, straightening, blow-drying and coloring and this product makes it feel super soft and luxurious. I have long, thick, naturally curly hair and always need to use more then the recommended amount but try not to go overboard. With this, a quarter sized amount works wonders!! It is a little pricey ( I paid $18 at CVS for the regular sized bottle, which really isn't that big by the way) but I definitely think it's worth it!! Especially since you don't need a lot when you apply it, you can really make the bottle last. Hope you guys try this!!

I've used Nick Chavez's products before and this is one of my favorites!! I have naturally thick, curly hair but when I straighten it, it becomes limp and dull. I first heard of this product on QVC and after watching the demonstration they did on their models, I had to try it! After purchasing it (at Ulta for $8) and trying it out, I was hooked!! I think it really lives up to the hype surrounding it. I love how it's a fine mist that sprays out evenly onto your hair as opposed to a spray pump that can be too heavy on one area of hair. I flip my head over and spray the underneath part of my hair first and give it a little shake and then turn my head right-side up and spray a little on the top to give it a little extra va va voom. I think it's a GREAT deal!! Try for yourselves and see!!

Over Christmas, I purchased the Tarte Mineral Powder Bronzer and have to admit that I was literally ecstatic with the results! This is one of the only bronzers I've ever used that doesn't look orange and you don't have to put a lot on to achieve a beautifully bronzed look. It's a little pricey ($29 at Sephora) but sometimes it really pays to spend the extra buck and get your money's worth. And once again, remember that A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY!!!! Hope you guys try this product!!! You won't be disappointed!

I am an avid BareEscentuals user and love almost all of their products. The Warmth All-Over Face Color is one of my favorites!! It matches any skin-tone and even though it comes in a small container, it does last! Remember girls: A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY!!!! The color really does give you that flushed look in your face like when you get done working out or when you've been in the sun for a little while. This product only comes in one size and it goes for $22 in Ulta and at Sephora. They used to not sell the Warmth on its own but last year I saw it at Sephora and started jumping for joy. I used to keep re-buying the Starter Kits just so I could get another Warmth and now, Thank God, I don't have to!! I highly recommend trying this product out!!

I've purchased the Sephora Mono Eyeshadows before and I must say, in comparison to other name-brands such as M.A.C. or Smashbox, this product is awesome!!! It really goes on smooth and lasts all-day. The best part about this product is it doesn't break the bank but you still get that luxurious, fabulous look that you would get if you did buy a more expensive brand. Definitely try this out if you haven't already!!!
