Have they really sold 8 million Josie Maran body butter?

depglass — Thu, 02 Sep 2021 14:08:34 GMT

Shawn said this the other night. Did I misunderstand or was she just exaggerating? I currently use First Aid Beauty but if her product is that well liked perhaps I should try it. I like the First Aid in comparison to Philosophy, my old stand by. So what is important to me is quick aborbancy. I can't stand that greasy feel from most products.

@depglass Not sure how many they have sold, but it wouldn't surprise me. I like her body butter. I try to buy it around the holiday season when it is on sale. I think it is her best product, and is really the only product of hers that I use anymore.

Shawn exxggerate? Surely you jest @depglass LOL I tried it and did not like it but that's just my opinion, I like Beekmans better.

Well...that's why girlfriend is always tan and smiling! 😄

I do love her body butters. Not buying anything now...been using up all beauty products I already have stashed all summer. Plenty of Philosophy body butters and one tinted JM body butter that is taking forever to go through since I seldom use tinted. My mom had bought it and gave to me...it was JUMBO sized!

I'm set on everything in every category of clothing, beauty, until holiday gifting season.

It wouldn't surprise me on that number. I use her body butters & love them over others I have tryed. The ones I use are her unscented, Vanilla Bean & when I can get it Vanilla & Pear. Mostly in the cooler weather.

Her body butter does take awhile to absorb into the skin...something you mentioned that you dislike. I like and use some of the WEN body products and they go in right away. I do have one Josie body butter with a little left and I do like it...I just have to wait about 15mins for it to fully absorb. I don't plan on purchasing again to be honest as I have others I like better.

I suggest you try it because you can return it (but yep it will cost you) and only you can decide how much you are willing to pay to try it. Otherwise I would get a small container first. Lots of people like/love it but I find it feels too greasy and it doesn't absorb quickly on me. I also don't particularly like her scents. We are all so different it's hard to know if you are in the majority or the minority. I just finally used up the one I have because I only use it on my legs at night and don't use it every night. Just decided not to waste it by tossing it.

Shawn and QVC could get in big trouble if she makes something up like that.

I'm guessing that she means individual jars of it, including jars sold with other products in kits, all the small jars they've sold, etc.

I have used both First Aid Beauty and the JM body butter and there is no comparison for me. The JM body butter is far and above the FAB cream. FAB was not good for my super dry skin, especially my legs. When I applied it in the morning, by that evening my legs were very itchy again.

However, I am using JR Watkins body lotion right now and I am loving it. I found it on clearance at a local store for under $5.00 and I'm very impressed. I need to see how it does in the winter.

Tried it a few times, wanted to like it, but NO. It just does not sink into my skin at all. Leaves me greasy and I can't stand that...no wonder Josie glows all the time! The only product of Beekman's I've tried is the unscented goat milk hand cream and I really like those a lot...have on auto delivery. I did try the First Aid you mentioned and I liked it but it always had this funny smell I did not care for.

All this just my experience with JM body butters as others love it and have had a totally different experience, obviously.

I could imagine they sold that number. I don’t know when it first came out but there have been several body butter TSVs over the years in addition to what is sold during Josie’s many shows. She is always adding new scents which I’m sure helps with sales.

I'd love something with lightning fast absorbency!

I can't stand "ick"!!!!!

NYCLatinaMe — Thu, 02 Sep 2021 18:15:08 GMT

I believe it @depglass. I have never tried First Aid, so can't compare, but it is certainly better than any philosophy body lotion, I don't know if they have a butter.

It is creamy and absorbs very well for me, but I think you will have to try it to decide how it will absorb on your skin. Mine is on the dry side, but not flaky dry. But I do use nice products that probably keep it that way.

I do use and love many (not all) of Josie's products.

Body butters, on me, take forever to absorb and I just do not have the patience or time. Best lotion for my dry, itchy skin is Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion. And it's unscented. My husband, who's skin is even worse than my alligator legs, has great success with Palmer's Cocoa Butter.

But, yes, I'm sure she meant overall total that includes all sets, etc. HSN does this also when they mention numbers sold.

@depglass I've tried SO MANY different body butters... JM, Korres, FAB, Perlier, Beekman, M. Asam, ETC .... my favorite 2 are the FIRST AID BEAUTY and the KORRES. I also love the Korres oils, which absorb so quickly.

JM's butters are okay. I liked them more in the beginning but I think they've gotten a little sticky over the past few years. FAB absorbs instantly and is also so healing. I'm also not a big fan of the majority of JM's scents, so I always stuck with the unscented when I could. I would not repurchase her butter.

Her face butter is magnificent however! I love that and the Meno reverse by Korres for the face.

I have tried and liked the body butter. What I learned was less is more so I didn't get that greasy feel. It takes a little longer to absorb into the skin.

I guess I don't care what I am using as long as it lasts once it's been applied. I need the moisture to hang in there! Josie Maran butters are lovely but dont go the distance for me. I switched to Divine Drip Honey Butter, and voila! Rich and really lasts. A little can go a long way too.

It wouldn't surprise me. It's one of my favorites but I rarely buy it because of the price. I tried First Aid once and didn't like it. I don't remember why but I do remember throwing some of it away. I still use philosophy once in a while. Mostly I use Korres or Bath and Body Works when they're having a sale.
