Josie Maran Honey balm duo OTO?

Mrsq2022 — Sat, 13 Feb 2016 16:08:21 GMT

Anyone else order this? I didn't purchase the TSV, watched it sell out, and immediately regretted not ordering it lol. When the Honey Balm duo came on, I placed the order...especially when she suggested that it can be used on your face. The reviews look good, the price was great...anyone else purchase?

I also ordered the Alterna Bamboo set for $39. I purchased this trio at $49 when it was a TSV and love the products very much.

I did not order this item, because I am still using her Divine Drip that came out with her last TSV. I love the smell and I enjoy using it on my feet.

I personally could not see using this on my face. I think the consistency is a little to heavy and thick but to each his own.

@icezeusI have never used it, but after reading your comment, I'm pretty sure I won't use it on my face now either! When Josie said this, I checked the ingredients and didn't see anything that might cause me to break out...but heavy thick balm is not something I would use on my face normally, I cannot use Egyptian Magic on my face, but this seemed a little lighter weight.

Is it nice? I just wanted to buy something to be perfectly honest and this seemed like a good deal...had a lot of favorable reviews.

I didn't order the Honey balm OTO (I should have, the honey vanilla sounds amazing!), as I'm also still working on the jar from the November TSV.

I have used the honey balm on my face this winter regularly (at night) but I don't think I would during the summer. A little goes a long way, especially on your face.

@Mrsq2022

I really do enjoy this balm. I also just love how it smells. If I had not already purchased her TSV, I would have picked up this duo. I scoop out a dime size and add two drops of her Argan Oil than massage it into my feet each night before I climb into bed. When I use this product in conjunction with my emjoi, it helps to maintain my feet in between spa pedicures.

Like you, Msshopper, I resisted buying the TSV, but caved on the honey balm, OTO. Just don't need it, but can't wait to use it on my winter-dry legs. Maybe not for the face, but looked good for the neck as Josie said.

Thanks - I was having second thought as it was an impulse purchase but I like Josie's products for the most part, and this one looked like a good value, a pretty jar for my counter, and an overall nice product. I have sensitive skin and some lotions make my legs itch my crazy but this one seemed warm and soothing.

I really do regret not purchasing the TSV. This was my consolation prize

You could always call CS, sometimes folks cancel and one becomes available, (the TSV)...just a thought...I have very sensitive skin, and can use most of her things for multiple uses...I am sure you will love the OTO...

msshopper, we are so on the same page with this! I also wanted to purchase the set with the sugar scrub. I've used it and love it. ( I don't know why my replies aren't posting with the one I'm replying to! Sorry!)

I saw the set with the Strawberries and cream. OMG!! I wanted that as well but refrained. I am sure that for me that will be a future purchase.

I use it on my neck like she said,I love it .It also keeps my feet looking and feeling good and especially on my dry hands. I do not think it would be bad on your face ,I have not tried it because I have her new face butter but I think I will tonite. It is not heavy or greasy and it does sink right in as do all of her products.

Truthfully a bottle of her Argan oil is all you ever need,for everything . I am a "Josie Junkie" and have a few of everything she sells.I cannot resist these products. I need a JM rehab.

I just received the Vanilla Apricot Balm from Haute Look. Sometimes Josie's products are offered there at discount prices. I love it. Have used also L'Occitane shea butter balm which I also recommend. Great for winter dry skin and also a little goes a long way on the ends of dry hair.

That sounds divine, Tobes. I have the L'Occitaine 100% Shea and it is great. Haven't true on hair yet.

@Mrsq2022 I ordered it since suddenly this year...58th yr. to into my 59th year of life my skin has begun to get...SOOO thin it''s been scary thin! like overnight it seems, very depressing!. So I liked her whipped argan oil jar product, and it was a small jar and nearly used up - thus I caved in on these 2 honey balms as I like a dewy feel on my skin like her whipped argan... I use a lotion 1st Amlactin as an AHA then my heavier lotion or cream. Hope this leaves a nice feeling on skin and does the job. I know I can buy all natural and similar or better at Whole Foods but was in the impulsive mood to get this! Q does that to me!

The balm is beautiful and I use it on my face some nights or if I have a dry area.... or on my neck. If you use a little it's really not too thick... even though it may look heavier. Very nice. I purchased and am glad that I did.
