A LOT TO ASK OF A NUT

Shanus — Fri, 02 Feb 2018 19:54:24 GMT

Every time JM is on air, which is quite often, she has a new and better product. The original oil was not enough, went to the Light Oil, along came body butters, face butters, bronzing oils, mascara and blush sticks and lipstick, special individually numbered oil, argan milk, etc.

Whoa, that’s a lot of nuts!

JM has an array of products just like many, many other skincare lines do. Many also have an array of make-up products. Everyone is free to pick and choose what they want.

As an aside, you can always tell when Josie is on. I'm waiting for the threads about how she's dressed to start. They always do.

@Shanus ~ which = a lot of $$$

I tried her argan oil and it actually made my skin drier! Many people like and use her products with success, and good for them!👍🏼

Perhaps I'm just "drinking the kool-aid" when it comes to Josie's products (I like them), but I quite like the idea of expanding the product base to utilize what was previously the waste from producing the oil, or the leaves on the ground, etc (The Argan Reserve). I also like that she finds new and different ways to deliver the oil, cream bases, milks, balms, etc. We are all so unique, what one doesn't care for or see results from, the next may adore.

It also makes good business sense, bring a good solid product initially, see how it performs, and if the response is good, add more.

So, in a nutshell (Ha!, see what I did there), yes, it sure is a lot to ask of a nut! I am sure glad they do though

@Shanus I think I understand what you mean. The company keeps manufacturing product after product . Sometimes I wonder if the later products are as good as the first few, due to the rapidity of mass marketing them.

I actually thought it was cute when you said "that's a lot of nuts."

There was not one disparaging remark in your post.

While I do not love all of her products I can say this. I have extremely dry skin on my arms ,legs and feet from medical conditions and genes probably. I have found Josies body butter is the awesome and h the honey drip is the absolute best thing for my feet I have ever found . So thankful for these products, since they are quite costly, I mostly use them in fall and winter.

addendum-- forgot to mention the sugar body scrub, it is wonderful as well.

Every product line does this. It's called product development. Mally, IT Cosmetics, Tarte, Algenist, Laura Geller, Too Faced, Urban Decay, Bare Minerals, the list goes on and on!!! We the consumer is what makes these business' make a profit! 😱

@Skididdy

I love many of JM's products like you, but some are of very low quality (oil cleanser is just one) and I have tried them all - by now I know what is good I feel in quality. Mine became rancid 2 x's and just gross in a month, cheap bottle as well collapsed inward (odd) and left a greasy feeling on outside of bottle as well - they should not go bad fast!!. But many love it that item.

I also find the cheek/lip stick gets rotten so fast as well. Body butters do not go bad. I DO wish she would come in a tube or even a jar pump as I have seen with thicker products but it cost more I'm sure for her - I hate dipping into creams and when they are a huge super sized jar... yuck!

Too many germs injected into that over time...not good.

I have the same kind of lippies bought at Whole Foods with just about the same natural ingredients (better) and they last and last! found one hiding from over 1 year and 1/2 or so still fresh...her lippies for me go bad.

Love her body butters for my now very dry limbs as I have gotten older would have hated it when younger - too greasy but love now.

I think she has many great items but many are eh... just as in any line not all are stellar.

And many of her Argon items are not as pure as others out there...just sayin'

Enjoy yours as I will mine skiping the tsv since I only "want" one thing in it :/

There are a lot of oils out there which are a lot less expensive but very are very effective. A few years ago, I met a woman at a senior living facility who had gorgeous skin at 100 years old. I complimented her and asked her how she kept her unlined face. She said for years she had nightly slathered her face with jojohba (sp?) oil. It'll take a few years, but lets see Josie top that.

@Kachina624I sure hope so! I use Trader Joe's pure jojoba oil on my clean face and hands every night, and I am closer to 100 than to 1!

i have never purchased or used oils. I just can’t imagine. I was hoping that with age, my skin and hair would become “ normal” but that hasn’t happened.

I am still oily, especially my hair. My DH is the same way. I wonder why. It must be due to something in our diet. I have never ever had dry skin.

I need to wash my hair every day. I wake up with greasy hair every morning. The vendors selling oils and lotions for hair and skin would go out of business if they depended on me.

@Kachina624 That’s a good oil & so is marula oil...also a “dry” oil (quickly absorbed) & has more antioxidants than argan oil.

@Carmie. Lucky lady! You can skip all the posts w/ the rest of us complaining about dry, itchy skin.

@Kachina624 - So she looked like 70, but was really 100, right?
