Wander With Alice

I was a bit nervous about trying out this mascara because I had the worst luck with mascaras that contains any kind of oil, whether it be coconut oil, or other Argan oil mascaras. I haven't seen an oily oil infused mascara yet. The thing about these oil-infused mascaras was that they always smudged terribly on me. I would look like a raccoon within two hours of wear. Two of these mascaras happens to be from Physicians Formula! So you can definitely see why I'm a bit skeptic when it comes to their new Argan Wear Mascara , $9.95.

Argan Oil has been around for centuries. It has been a cosmetic favorite ingredient, and have been known for its benefits to the skin. In fact, Morocco's nickname to this magnificent oil is "Liquid Gold"! How fancy is that! Today, I introduce a company that is know to incorporate Argan Oil in all their products, Josie Maran Cosmetics . I will also be reviewing their popular 100% Pure Argan Oils, their  Regular and Light   versions.

HOLY SMOKES! I am so glad I have this in my purse! The Josie Maran "Whipped Argan Oil Intensive Hand Cream" is truly a beautiful moisturizer. It has a thick, mousse-like texture, but sinks into the skin without any feeling of oiliness or heaviness which is surprising when this hand cream is infused with 100% pure argan oil. I have tried actual 100% argan oil for my skin before, and didn't like how oily my skin felt. Yes, I do realize I am putting oil on my skin and it should feel oily, but argan oil is known to sink into the skin quickly while keeping the skin moisturized. So what I am trying to explain is that argan oil is a bit too moisturizing for my skin, as of right now, since the skin changes over time and with the seasons.

One single wipe has the power to take off all nail polish from all ten nails! Amazing! When I first used this nail wipe, I didn't like it because of how oily the wipe left my fingers, but as I kept on using it, I couldn't believe my eyes; this circular wipe is like the never-ending energizer bunny! It just kept on removing and removing, until every single one of my nails were nail polish free! Josie Maran describes this wipe as a three-in-one, where the wipe not only removes nail polish, but repairs dry cuticles, and promote nail health, which is the reason behind the oily nature of the wipe, it is infused with Argan Oil. And Argan Oil is Josie Maran's specialty, it is all of their products. This 20 set of wipes retails at $9.00 and it can be found at Sephora . This is an incredible nail wipe. Even though you have to wash your hands after each process, it's still worth it because your hands still feel deeply nourished afterwards. Happy Wandering!...

This is the most exciting NEW line from Physicians Formula to date. The last time I went goo-goo-gaa-gaa over everything in a line of theirs, is their Nude Wear Line (and by the way, they also came out with some new products for the Nude Wear line for 2015, as well).  At the moment, there are only five different products available in this Argan Wear Line. I bought three out of the five: the Argan Wear Ultra-Nourishing Argan Oil BB Cream, Blush, and Bronzer. The other two products that I will not be covering is their Argan Wear Ultra-Nourishing Argan Oil and the Illuminating Argan Oil (these two products are just your typical 100% Argan Oil in a bottle).

I just want to state the obvious before we get into the important details here...the packaging is absolutely gorgeous! Physicians Formula had really captured the essence of Morocco's Style-Architectural design with their new Argan Wear Line, especially with their BB Cream's packaging.  And the fact that the product not only looks good on the outside but it does good on the inside. This BB Cream is one of the best BB Creams I have tried thus far. The unique difference between this Physicians Formula's BB Cream compared to other BB Creams I have tried is that this does not have a dewy finish. In fact, its finish is a beautiful matte-satin. Something an oily-combinaton skin person, like myself, can appreciate.

Can be purchased on Pur Minerals' Website for $20.00 This is probably one of the most waterproof mascaras I have ever tried in my life! So waterproof mascara lovers, if you want a resilient mascara that will last all day, this is the mascara for you. Even though it gets an A+ in the waterproof department, there are still some issues that I am not a fan of.
