I purchased this at Sephora in Las Vegas as a treat (because I'm not used to spending $28 on a facial cleanser) but I'd heard such great things about it and had so much success with Josie's other products I decided to give it a whirl. All I can say is the first thing I noticed was the TASTE. No matter how much I tried to keep my mouth sealed shut, I would always get a taste of it and it is a horrible chemical-like bitter taste, ew. I didn't notice much of an impact on my skin either after using it a few weeks. On top of that, halfway through using it, it changed inside the bottle from clear to cloudy (no idea how that happened) and it started leaving an oil slick on my face. It was like literally rubbing baby oil on my face, a complete change from before. Not sure how that happened, other than it's an unstable formula. WOn't be purchasing again.

Just like Josie's other products, I had to try this. Not only have I become a fan of her argan oil, but I use tinted moisturizer on a daily basis. First, this one has spf 30 which is great compared to most other tinted moisturizers. It also provides enough coverage to mute the redness I have on my cheeks without looking like I'm wearing a mask. It leaves a lovely moist finish, but not so much that I need to apply powder. In a nutshell, it leaves my skin looking HEALTHY, and the argan oil inside it ensures that. Love it!! It is a little more pricey ($30) however I find the results and spf worth it.

I received this for the first time with a set from QVC and have to say that I love it, the color is sheer and it has a yummy cake batter scent. Add to that the fact that it has the argan oil that Josie is famous for, this is definitely a keeper!

I had been looking for not only a night time moisturizer that would enhance my skin but also not be chock full of chemicals. I saw this on QVC one day and was instantly attracted by the fact that it is 100% natural. Not only that but (according to Josie) purchases benefit the farmers and workers in Morocco, where this oil is from. I have been using this for the past 4 months or so and I can say that not only is my face completely moisturized, but it never makes me break out and I've noticed that the fine lines around my eyes are disappearing. Add to that the fact that you can use this oil just about anywhere (I also use it on my cuticles and my legs after shaving) you really can't go wrong! Other reviewers have mentioned the price as an issue ($28) however for the amount and the benefits you get, it's more than worth it. I have spent over $50 on a Lancome moisturizer in the past that did next to nothing. Thanks Josie, about to start my third bottle! :)

I currently use my favorite cleanser (Noxzema) however it can sometimes leave a lot of residue on my face, so I bought this to help remove the last traces of makeup and cleanser, and this really does the trick, it also smells and feels like a breath of fresh air. Love it. Used it and the first time I noticed my skin was glowing like a peach. Oh, and you can't beat the price ($3.96) !!!!

It has a high SPF (70), it's lightweight, it doesn't leave skin feeling like you smeared paste all over, doesn't leave white residue all over your face, it's easy to spread (no escessive rubbing and tugging at skin), and the scent is light - not offensive. And I got it for $9.99 (on sale), not to mention the portable size makes it easy to throw in a small purse. Need I say anything else??? THE BEST you can get for daily protection.

Not only is this moisturizing, but the price tag is great. It comes in several colors, and I especially love the minty cool tingle it gives - that lasts! Especially good if you're studying and need a little pick me up, also wonderful in the hot summer.

Rimmel really hit a homerun with this. I've already bought 3 shades, want to buy more!! 1) Very moisturizing formula, it goes on smooth, glossy color 2) Lovely clean floral fragrance (I'm one of the few that prefer my lip products to have flavors and fragrances) 3) The packaging is GORGEOUS. Metallic purple with clear plastic accent, and a little crown engraved at the top of the cap, too cute. 4) SPF 18 sunscreen - always need that. 5) Nourishing with Vitamin A, C and E and collagen 6) YOU CAN'T BEAT THE PRICE, the most you'll pay is around $6.99. I bought two of them at 50% off at Walgreens and also had coupons, so I picked them up for less than $2. I DEFINITELY WILL PURCHASE MORE!

I've always been afraid to use much eyeliner in the past however I've been intrigued by the new creamy liners you apply with a brush. When Buxom came out with this new liner that claims to increase lash fullness and condition (and with actual claims that it works) I decided to go for it. I purchased the new Blue Velvet shade ( navy with blue sparkle) and my husband sure enough told me that night "you have such sexy dark features, what did you do?" haha, and that was my first application! A little GOES A LONG WAY, so I will using this for years and years I'm sure. Considering I love everything else in the line, Buxom, you keep them coming.

I've prurchased this tonic twice now...at first it seems as though it does nothing for the skin, but I did notice when I stopped using it, my skin yearned for that clean clarified feeling. It's especially useful after using a cleanser or scrub that leaves behind residue. Beautiful bottle too. But I agree with others, it's a bit too expensive for what it is.
