Today, I am delving into the world of my very first sponsored product review! I want to let my readers know that I'm expanding to product reviews for all the RIGHT reasons instead of the nefarious ones. I love trying new beauty and lifestyle products. That's why I love subscription boxes! Now, if I have the opportunity to review something and help bring it into the beauty world- why not?
So, welcome to my first Sponsored Product Review! Let's try to be a little less oblivious together!
Foxbrim Certified Organic 100% Pure Argan Oil Review
About a week ago, I received my sample of Foxbrim's Argan Oil to review. Ok, it wasn't a sample- it was a full sized, 2 oz/60 ml bottle. Woo!
A little about Foxbrim's Certified Organic 100% Pure Argan Oil: This Argan Oil is 100% Pure ECOCERT and USDA Certified Argan Oil sourced from Morocco. The oil contains no parabens, silicone fillers, or fragrances.
Let's have a look...
Let's talk packaging for a minute. Now, I'm partial to how this look. First, I love the almost nostalgic, apothecary feel and style of the bottle. It's a pretty solid and heavy thick glass vial that I'm not really worried about dropping and destroying. I do that. I drop and destroy things- especially vials of oil (much to the chagrin of the fiance).
The first thing I did check though is the dropped. Apparently, I've had issues with droppers recently and have sort of a love/hate relationship with them. I get extremely irritated if a dropper only goes halfway into a bottle. And, also I'm concerned with using a plastic pipette part in what should be an all natural product.
Sturdy thick glass- we're good!
Right now, I personally feel that the beauty market is saturated with Argan Oil. There's Argan oil this and Argan oil that. There's oil of oil Argan Oil apparently? It's the new big thing and a buzz word for many products, often adding extra dollar signs to the cost of many beauty items.
That being said, I like Argan Oil. It does work for me. I don't need it in everything though and I don't feel that a beauty product should cost an arm and leg because of the fact that Argan Oil is included in the ingredients.
A little bit of Argan Oil goes a LONG way and I look at Foxbrim's 2 ounce bottle as essentially unlocking a drums worth of Argan Oil that will last an incredibly long time. At the moment, it is on sale on Amazon for 13.95. I mean, that's incredibly affordable if you ask me.
What is so incredibly awesome about this product is that versatility of Argan Oil. Over the past few days of having this product, I have used it in a variety of ways. It is great for all hair, skin, face, and nails. And actually a fabulous defense against the winter. So, Foxbrim, your timing was apropos for me.
I am a MESS in the winter. My normally oily T-Zone dries up and flakes and my scalp starts to resemble the Gobi desert. That being said, just because I live in throat-grabbingly dry apartment- I don't want to risk having a break out. I made that mistake last year after I jumped on the coconut band wagon.
When I first tried a little of the Foxbrim's Argan Oil on my hand, I was really concerned that it was going to be way too oily for my complexion. But, those concerns were assuaged as soon as I noticed how easily the oil absorbed and felt incredibly light on my hands. I also like the fact that the dropper allowed me to control the amount of oil I used and I knew how much was going on my face, body, and hair.
I have used some VERY sparingly around my nose and forehead (my trouble areas) for the past few days and am seeing a little results. But, I do want to disclose the fact that these dry areas are an uphill battle for me all winter, every winter.
Where I have seen the best results is with my hair and scalp! Good job Foxbrim! As I mentioned, I was a little hesitant at first since the oil is very pure. I normally turn my nose up at all not 100% natural hair oils. But, that doesn't mean that I 100% trust my OWN competency when using pure oils. The first couple of days- I definitely noticed a difference in regards to the general softness of my hair when I applied the oil before or after I styled my hair. And I didn't get the drowned rat look that I'm prone to when using oils. AND!! (Big AND) I've actually been able to stop using the anti-dandruff shampoo that I hate using during the winter.
The BEST use I have found so far for my FoxBrim Argan oil is mixing it with my secret recipe Coconut Oil and Almond Milk overnight hair mask that I do. After seeing great results with Foxbrim's Argan Oil- I decided to toss some into my secret mask. And it's been a great addition that I think has forever been added as a supplement in my beauty routine. I'm a tough nut to crack with that. So, from my perspective, that's a pretty big endorsement!
Highlights and Rave for Foxbrim's 100% Pure Argan Oil:
- Sturdy, aesthetically pleasing glass packaging with full sized, glass dropper.
- A little Argan oil goes a long way. This large, 2 ounce bottle will last a while.
- Pure Argan Oil has many versatile uses and you have more than enough in this supply to find what works best for you.
