Does anyone know for sure if the Argon Body Serum is also scented. I think it is . But not 100% sure.

I see Josie is still selling that lie, "NY Times called my argan oil liquid gold."  I read that article all those years ago.  NY Times called argan oil -- all 100% pure argan oil -- liquid gold.  However, NY Times never isolated Josie's brand; they never mentioned Josie's brand at all. In fact, they did spotlight a different company in the article, Liz Earle in England.  

 

The first couple of years on QVC, Josie used to say that all the time, inserting the word my in the quote.  Then she stopped saying my for many years.  Now she's back to saying it.  Just say whatever you want mentality, UGH. 

 

I've been buying pure, organic, single source argan oil since 2003.  Not from Josie.

Normally the body milk is unscented, have not had any for awhile. They should address that in their presentations. On the fence about this one?

Has anyone ever used her Peppermint Bark body butter? I never have , and looking for opinions. I am sensitive to strong smells. I like her Vanilla Bean, which for me is mild scent.

Re: Josie Maran TSV - November 9, 2024

I bought the TSV. I do think both products are scented. I've bought other sets like this and the body milk was always the same scent as the body butter. I've used the body milk on my face and it's okay but I prefer using the face milk because it seems more effective. The body butter comes in a tub with a pump. I bought it at midnight and it already shipped. All the Josie scents seem mild and I expect the peppermint bark to be the same. I also bought her humongous face butter, which is my favorite product and I was out of it. You're right, Josie seemed off at midnight and really really wanted to lick something. I was hoping it was whipped cream to show what her product smelled like, but I'm afraid it was really her product she was trying to eat. Weird. Sandra was hyper and shouting like she usually is at midnight. Kinda like I get when I've had too much coffee. I hope Josie is okay. I'm going to chalk it up to her being a California celebrity snowflake, and not anything more nefarious. I thought her makeup looked awesome, and was hoping she would be selling whatever red lipstick she was wearing.

Re: Josie Maran TSV - November 9, 2024

I’ve been looking forward to Josie’s TSV, but honestly I’m disappointed.
I was hoping for a large bottle of the pure argon oil. Also, disappointed in the fragrance selections. I don’t care for non-scented, but I also don’t like smelling like food. Would have been nice to have a floral fragrance to choose from. As far as the looks of the jar, I guess it would look nice sitting out in my kitchen or bath at Christmas, but other times of the year, I don’t decorate in red. I don’t want a huge jar with a red label sticking out like a sore thumb on my countertop. More neutral looking label would be nice.
Oh well, passing on this. I’m currently using the body butter and not sure what the shelf life is on this TSV. I don’t want it going bad and having to throw it away.
Guess I’ll wait for the next TSV, hopefully in a scent that doesn’t smell like food.

@beach-mom .  Bought a couple of her things years ago.  Did not do anything for me.  Here is what helps me and will probably help you.  Drink milk.  Cook with a little butter.  Eat your green vegetables and  also your fruits.  I drink at least 32 to 40 oz of water daily.

@Marmee4 

I recently ran across (2) BB from JM with a 5/22 date that I had written outside of the box. I actually forgot I had them. I never opened the box and the items were sealed. I had to insert the pump and all. I started using this week with no problems.

 

I also keep all beauty products in a dark, cool location until ready for use.

Re: Josie Maran TSV - November 9, 2024

Both Sandra and Josie were off at midnight.I thought that Josie had perhaps drank too much caffeine. Sandra, I could not tell if she was trying to keep up with Josie or what, but the result was that they were both talking over each and it was just too much noise. 

 

The TSV was an easy pass for me, although I did purchase her Body Scrub.
