  • i use this on my face and noticed that my cuticles are not dry anymore. they used to be so dry and actually crack and bleed. that does not happen when i am using argan oil. also have noticed that my freckles and sunspots are disappearing. my nails grow very fast as well when I am using it.

  • Hello there.

    Wow, I've been using argan oil for quite some time now because I accidentially discovered that it's brilliant for my skin (I ran out of olive oil for my cuticles one day and the rest is history ^^) but I'm very glad I found your very informative video!

    I've been wondering if there is a difference between the cosmetic argan oil and the pure oil you get at the food market, since - lazy as I am - I did not bother to go buy a cosmetic product and just kidnapped it from the kitchen ^^.

  • sounds like a staged infomercial

  • You're very informative, I like, Thankss!

  • i think you might mean omega 3, you don't want too much omega 6, although it is good for you, too much can cause it to become a bad fat, you should have a balance between omega 3 and 6.

  • I love argan oil. I love it on my feet with a little lotion it really makes a difference.

  • I know this is old, but for anyone watching it now, I have dry skin and acne and I use 2 or 3 drops at night with NO other moisturizer, 2 or 3 drops is enough for your entire face, and for me, it's been doing miracles (I use a regular moisturizer/skin care routine in morning).

  • I know you made this video a long time ago, but I am so glad to see this review because I just ordered the Eden Allure for the exact same problem! I have been looking all over for something that would help my nose area! I have the same problem with the flaking and the redness. Thank you very much!

  • I prefer Pura d'or argan oil better for the money. High quality and more reasonable prices.

  • I like that you researched about the oil. I keep wanting to try it but i was so worried that they were cutting down and destroying this already endangered species of tree lol

  • You mentioned that you could cook with argan oil. Although you can eat argan oil (on a salade for example). Its not for cooking. You can only serve it cold. You should never cook with argan oil or heat it up. But ofcourse the josie maran and eden allure products are pure cosmetic.

  • @Sweetwater0909 I don't recall saying one could heat up the oil, only that it can be used in cooking, which doesn't necessarily suggest heat. I'm not an expert and can only go by the information available to me.

  • @pinkiecharm Your review was very informative. I just wanted to make sure people knew its not an oil you can heat up. Like olive oil or coconut oil. But can be eaten. Especially for people like me who associate the word cooking with heat. (english isnt my native language)

  • @Sweetwater0909 Thank you. Sometimes it's difficult to remember that there are a lot of people who watch my videos whose first language isn't English. I'll try to be better about that in the future. :)

  • Would you recommend Josie Maran Argan Oil for someone who has KP?

  • @HauteBeautyGirl I have read here and there about argan oil helping with KP but I haven't tried it on myself so I can't say for sure. It might be something worth researching a little more.

  • Really? It helps with pain? I was almost ready to send it back before that. Will definitely give it a try. It doesn't seem to do much for my face, but make the dark circles show up under my eyes. Do you know how long it takes to see a difference in your skin? I have good skin, but wasn't sure if I paid 100.00 for hype (4oz bottle and the Josie name after reading the wiki version of argan oil. I appreciate your reviews so much! Thank You! xo

  • it seemed that you were reviewing cuticles than argan oil..LMAO.. u used this word zillions of times in the video.

  • Why is yours clear? Mine is amber. I think Eden might be refined, not raw. Also, it should NOT be in a clear plastic bottle. Google for more info. But yeah, argan oil is great :)

  • @gladitsnotme It isn't clear and it is refined. According to Eden Allure it's refined to "eliminate potential hazardous elements that may be found in raw argan oil." The container is plastic but it's environmentally safe, UV protected and recyclable.

  • I just found your channel a few days ago. I've been watching a few vids every day and I feel like I'm getting to know you. Thanks for all the tips and reviews.

  • i just ordered some argan oil! can't wait to get it!!! thanks for the tips and for the review!

  • Irene, Josie Maran Argan Oil is not supposed to be too strong or too much for your face or hair to handle. The reasons why it is like that for you is because you didn't use it with water. For hair, when you get out of the shower, take about 3-5 drops, when it's still damp. As for face, wet it completely, add 2 drops on your hand, rub your hands together and then massage all over your face for about 30 seconds. Leave it wet and air dry. Each week, gradually add an extra drop.

  • @RAWRRxrain I appreciate the tips but I have to disagree. I don't see any reason why this product shouldn't be too much oil for my skin. Everyone's skin is different and there was no mention of using this product with water. However, I'll try it out and see what happens. Thanks. :)

  • @pinkiecharm It understand it wasnt stated on the box or online, but it's best to use it with water. My friend recommended it to me and taught me how she uses it. When i first used the oil, i use at least 5 drops to massage my face dry but it got too oily for me and it broke me out even more - thats when she told me to use it with water. And yeah, no problem (:

  • Awesome!  I used Eden Allure's oil on my hair. Only ONE pump on the ends of my hair, just to protect them from dryness, and it was perfect for me. However, I have dry curly hair, so it worked for me. I don't recommend it for straight, of fine hair. XD Anyway, I'm glad there are no differences in the brands, I'll keep on using Eden Allure's. :)

  • omg thats to much..48?

  • thanks for the info ;)

  • can you use the argan oil in food?

  • You can add this oil to your conditioner, if that's still too much then add it to your shampoo! Hope that helps!

  • You could always drop a few drop of argan oil into your shampoo or conditioner

  • Girl! Don't nobody know what tertiary mean (only kidding,haha). Excellent video and very informative. I'm ordering some today. Thanks.

  • I live in Canada and bought the live clean exotic nectar argan oil for 12 dollars and its 3.7 fluid ounces :) I'm excited to try this ! Thanks Irene:)

  • @nicolascottdirt can you please tell me the name of the store ?

  • I so agree with you about the nose area getting dry. Mine always turn really dry looking. I heard about this Argan Oil on hair.. Now I am so excited to know it works for my dry nose area..lol Good Video....

    FYI: You have 2a Type hair you never use oil on your hair type. B/c it makes it really Greasy & Stiff looking!

  • I just bought some pure argan oil from hennasooq and I like the way it penetrates my hair strands.

  • Do you think this would help cure dry scalp?

  • Very informative! I use Kiehl's Argan Dry Oil $42.00 for 8oz. Excellent stuff!

  • I've bought lots of natural oils and skincare products from Garden of Wisdom in the past. They have organic argan oil for cheap... I'm definitely gonna try it from them :)

  • i have tried argan oil, bought it off sephora at dadeland mall in miami from Jossie. This stuff is really good. I was hesitant to try this oil on my face since i live in miami and i do have a greasy t-zone. Well argan oil just gives me a natural glow of course one drop is more than enough. This stuff lasts a very very long time if dispensed correctly. i recomment this to guys and girls everywhere.

  • Hi,

    Can you tell the difference between real argan oil and synthetic argan oil? I am thinking about buying this 8 oz bottle of it I found online but I am not sure if it is pure argan oil.

    ~ Ashley

  • @adowns87 The site should specify one way or the other and if not, there may be a contact email listed somewhere on the site with which you can use to contact them and ask.

  • do you prefer one brand to the other?

  • @dabigbadnanas No, not really.

  • Josie or Eden?

  • review on the finger paints please ;)

  • very helpful review

    thanks :)

  • your eye makeup looks amazing in this video. if you can remember, what products did you use?

  • I just ordered some argan oil and it came in the mail and right away I put some on my face and a little later my face got really red. I don't know if my hands were dirty (although I had washed them less than 15 minutes prior) or something but I guess i'm willing to try it again another day as long as I don't break out massively tomorrow =(

  • thanks ms. charm for this wonderful video. i was interested in the argan oil and now i will invest in some.

  • Argan Oil is great stuff! I learned about it when I was in Morocco about 12 years ago. The argan trees grow in very dry surrounings and are low bushy and prickely. (I don't know if that's an English word) Very funny to see that the goats there klimb into the trees to eat the leafs. Now if you see how argan oil is made, you understand why it is so expensive. In Morocco the oil is expensive to. But I suggest using the oil that is sold for cooking. It's a little less expensive and no different.

  • SO out of curiosity- how much do you budget for makeup expenses a month? I have become obsessed and realized that this is obsession is burning up my fun expense LOL

  • Very informative, great review, hun! x

  • Great review!

  • I lovee lovee your hair and eye makeup in this video, yours eyes ecspecially look amazing!! =D

    And ofcourse, great review as always :)

  • I have the stick version of Josie Maran's argan oil, I use it on my lips (because they get really dry and chapped) and under glosses to help them go on smoother. It works wonders, better than most lip butters and carmex (and it smells nice!). Have you tried products with olive oil for your hair? I find that works well and I have baby fine hair.

  • your eye makeup looks good here

  • I love this review. I would love to buy the oil. So far, I cannot afford to buy the Argan oil, I have been using Vitamin E oil from Trader Joe's. It works wonders! I use my Vitamin oil for my cuticles and heels (just like you) and sometimes the split end of my hair.

  • SOUNDS AWESOME!!

  • ooohhhh i love your makeup in this video

  • Great review.

  • TheBeautyofVanity: you are absolutely right about arnica. If you can Irene, try arnica - it does wonders. My mom has a pain relieving oil from an aromatherapist (arnica, comfrey, lavender essential oil, birch e.o.). That oil has worked so well for her. She's had 2 surgeries in the last 2 years, and she used the oil with great success - bruises fade quickly, scars heal well. Now she uses the oil for everyday aches & pains & for her arthritis.

    Also, great video! Very informative! Thanks :)

  • I just wanted to say how much I like that you actually research this stuff. It's a) awesome to learn this stuff, I'd never known what it was and b) it's so intersting!

  • @MsLc1234 Oh yes, I know but a deodorizer isn't a perfume, which is why I was confused by your comment. :) I'm rather glad they use it as the nutty scent can be a bit too strong for me.

  • @MsLc1234 That's so odd as neither of the bottles I have are perfumed. The only ingredient listed on my bottle of argan oil is Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil (Moroccan Argan Oil).

  • pinkiecharm: squalene is an intense moisturizing component found in sharks as well as olives, and apparently also argan oil. I have never heard any company claiming that their squalene product prevented cancer.

  • @whatthedeuce87 There was no company who claimed using this product could prevent cancer. That's just something I came across in my research of argan oil in general. And if anyone's using this product in the hopes it will prevent cancer, that's only slightly naive, isn't it? :)

  • the tone of my comment was a little different than i intended. i just don't know who was writing the information you found because it seemed silly and i had definitely never heard that before. i just heard that squalene was supposed to be like the ultimate moisturizer.

    of course i can tell you are a smart person and we both know that whole cancer thing is silly.. of course at this time pretty much everyone talks about "cancer this, cancer that"

  • @whatthedeuce87 I didn't notice anything wrong with the tone of your comment. The tone of text is really up to the person reading it. :)

    I think a lot of people are so overly concerned with trying to prevent cancer that they sometimes forget that the products that claim to "help" aren't 100%. And also that cancer is a disease and not as easily prevented as the common cold.

  • Americans have way too much Omega 6 in their diets, they don't need it any additional ways.

  • @mineralmu4me omega 6 is an ESSENTIAL fatty acid, one from fish and flax seeds, not a fat you get out of a McDonalds burger. Besides, to say Americans have to much of anything in their diets is primarily ignorant.

  • uh, no it's not, monega 3 is needed, americans DO have too much omega 6 in there diets.

    there is a specific ratio of 3 to 6 that is needed, that is above your head by this comment.

    If YOU don't want to sound ignorant, do your research before opening your mouth.

  • The irony of you accusing people of being ignorant yet you use the wrong "there" and barely capitalise your sentences (and proper nouns!)  is fabulous. Although Omega 6 actually isn't all that good for you, using proclaimed ignorance as an attack doesn't work so well when you don't bother to use proper grammar yourself.

  • Organic Unrefined Coconut Oil is really good too.

  • @xercesproject Yes, it is...it is still yet one of the "undiscovered" oils by many.

  • Great review Irene! You looked beautiful in this video. Love the makeup.

  • WOW! I feel like I got a review AND an interesting lecture...kinda like a twofer! THANKS!

  • i love how you say thing technically and then a sum up: from free radicals to gross disgusting crap

    =)

  • I found that wen I mix a tiny bit of the argan oil with my moisturizer in my hand b4 putting it on my face it doesnt look as oily. just feels like a reg moisturizer. nd u can use less then what u would use by itself and mixing with the moisturizer helps to distribute it on ur face.

  • your so pretty in the video

  • jeeze this stuff sounds like the elixir of life lmao! gotta get ittt!

  • if you have fine thin hair grapeseed oil will be good for your ends its a light oil so ur hair wont get greasy i hope that helps =]

  • i've got to try it

  • hi. i too have the josie m. broning oil. I agree that it is too heavy for hair. I like Moroccan oil better. The bronzing oil is nice in the summer, if you are tan b/c it looks kind of like self tanner.

    I'm glad you went over uses b/c i was not aware of some. I am going to use it on my face right near my nose too. Too much nose blowing.

  • i have been using the Eden alure Argan oil since august and let me tell you it is great...i have been using the oil on my nails and they have not chipped since august 09. a little goes a long way. im not even half way through the bottle. totally recommend it.

  • could you maybe do a review on:

    gosh lets twist eyeliner??

    if you can?

  • You'd make a great teacher, lol. When you described where argan oil is from, it didn't bore me like a lot of technical explanations do, but you just made it so clear.

    Oh, and nice makeup. :)

  • Your makeup really looks good in this video.

  • I use argan oil as a night-time serum before moisturizing. I warm about 3 drops between my palms then press and massage it into my face. It definitely helps my reactive, combination skin. LOVE!

  • sallys sells an argan moroccan oil that is like $20 and it is a decent size...i love it and it makes my hair feel so soft

  • Vitamin F??? I am so undeducated! @o@

  • @mooneyes89 it just means essential fatty acids. I dont know why they refer to these as "vitamin F"

  • @whyteOleander Because that's another name for it.  :)

  • The pattern of dryness you describe suggests it might be seborrheic dermatitis. Have you tried an antifungal cream such as miconazole? I dont know any tradenames, but it might be worth a go!

  • so I guess Eden Allure is the better deal because you get more product for the money! I am so buying this! Are there any noticeable differences between the two products? Do you know why the Josie Maran one might be more expensive?

  • i love your makeup here!

  • I love using Argan oil as a facial moisturizer. I agree with you that it was too much for my hair and I for some reason love the smell of it. The Garden of Wisdom website sells 1 oz. of 100% Organic argan oil for $8 plus shipping so that's an amazing deal (it works exactly the same as the Josie Maran b/c I've used both).

  • I have Argan-oil, too and I agree with you that it makes a very soft skin. But after I'd used it a few times I now unfortunately cannot use it any more, because I find it smells so AWFUL!!

    I bought it at the beginning of my pregnancy and maybe it depends a little bit on the hormons, that I get sick when I smell this oil. :-( But my friends, who are all not pregnant, find the smell awful, too.

    Maybe I can try it again later on my legs or feet, where I do not smell it so much.

  • This was a very helpful and informative review! I've been thinking about buying this stuff for a long time, but was hesitant becuase of the price. I think I'll buy the eden after I get through some of my stock of other products LOL Thank you so much!

  • I was wondering if you prefer one more than the other?

  • @watermelon165 I prefer them about the same but I do like the packaging of the Eden Allure oil as it makes for less mess in application.

  • Ever try "bag balm" on your face problem? How different than olive oil is it? Have you tried arnica gel on your knee? That oil sounds dangerously addictive..lol. Very nice tip about it being a pain relief helper. I did not know that. Thanks for the review!☺

  • I will be going to get this thanks for the explination of what this is and the review!

  • you look so pretty in this video! New lighting?

  • @MsLc1234 There is no perfume in these oils. The only scent is the natural scent of the oil itself.

  • argon oil is da bomb

  • I have the Josie Maran Argan stick and love it. It fixes everything. I can use it on dry skin patches, nails, hair flyaways/static, and it even gets rid of redness on my cheeks. Now I want to try one of the little glass vials they have at Sephora to compare. It's the best oil for skin that I've found.

  • Very cool! I'm definitely going to try this! I dislocated my knee too, it's horrible. People don't understand the pain that causes.

  • youre like a makeup scientist! haha it's so cute. and i love the "i am not google" hahahaha cracks me up everytime! keep up the great vids! (:

  • can you do a comparison video of oils? i'm very very young and i want absolute perfect skin. i know it sounds childish, but hey who doesnt even if they are thirteen. I have used sweet almond oil from aura cacia ( not sure on the name ) and i think i should try out jojoba oil from desert essence? or should i go for the argon oil? thanks

  • so the only difference between the two is the packaging and tha one is organic or does the organic one work better as well? i see that the one with more product in it is actually cheaper an in the non glass packaging

  • @chicklebird I found that they both worked the same for me.

  • you eye makeup is beautiful!

  • Hi pinkiecharm, I was just wondering if there's any visible difference between the two products you mentioned. Is there one u prefer over the other?

  • @vickyhsieh222 I found that they both work the same for me but I prefer the Eden Allure's dispenser as it's much less messy.

  • When you said it could help psoriasis, did it also happen to mention eczema?

  • @MegDragonfly13 I didn't come across any specific mentions of eczema so I don't want to say this will 100% work. However skin conditions similar to eczema are helped by Argan Oil so it may work.

  • Did you know that Sally's Beauty Supply is selling a 3.4 fl oz bottle of Argan Oil for $8.99? Now I don't know how great the quality stands up compared to the two that you have, but it smells wonderful and has really helped my moisturize my hair.

  • @forever0211 : $8.99! WOAH thanks fro the tip! ☼

  • @forever0211 To be honest, I don't know. If it's 100% real Argan Oil (and I'd double-check the ingredients to be sure) than it's a great deal.

  • "im not google" lol

  • I LOVE your make up! soo cute :D and thanks for doing these reviews, they are so helpful :D

  • Thanks for the review

  • Love the looking to the left to read the comp,lol.

  • I hate to say it, but if it's an endangered tree, then why are they using it to make beauty products??

  • @brushjunkie The huge demand for the export of the oil is what's helping conserve the trees, although I know that sounds a bit backwards. The trees aren't cut down in order to get the oil and it's the demand OF the oil that's producing the funds to protect the trees. Did that make sense? *lol*

  • Makes perfect sense! Thank you for the clarification :) & thanks for your reviews, I have found them very helpful & informative.

  • Is it better for your skin then say, olive oil or some other good oil like coconut oil? Just wondering. thanks!

  • Thanks I have been researching this and Im glad u reviewed it u r tha best!!!

  • Are those your real nails, and do you do them yourself? they're always so long and pretty! :D

  • @vjw227 i think in one of her videos about the nail polish from the warm and cozy collection she said that she gets them professionally done.

    i wondered the same thing for a while until she said that. her names are always so nice

  • i mean love lace woups

  • <3 your nails! Nice review :)
