Oh Johnny how you can love?

I am not really one to write about celebrities and their personal lives but when it comes to one of my favorites I can’t help myself. This week in celeb news congratulations are in order! Johnny Depp & Amber Heard will tie the knot this weekend on his private island after a one year engagement. He says he can’t wait to marry her and if you ask me they look very cute together. This will be Amber’s first marriage and Johnny’s second.
Congratulations you two 🙂

Johnny Depp

Oh one quick thing… Johnny do you ever age?

Start the New Year off with Amazing Skin !

a2614531

Not long ago, I shared that  Josie Maran Argan Pure Complexion 5 Piece Collection is available exclusively at QVC. Now I am experiencing Josie Maran Skincare with my own 5 piece collection.  I have become a huge fan of skincare containing Argan Oil and Josie Maran has designed the perfect collection.

I am generally afraid to try skincare containing oil due to possible oily residue but I haven’t experienced any oiliness on my skin, just velvety softness, especially after using Josie Maran Argan Cleansing Oil. During the summer months, I like to use oils that absorb quickly.  This winter has been brutal on my skin and Josie Marans 100% Pure Argan Oil Face Serum, which I use as a moisturizer, doesn’t dry instantly but stays on my skin long enough to massage in, leaving a silky smooth feeling as opposed to a dry feeling that I like during the humid months.

The foundation is quit unique in that it is formulated to match your skintone. It really is Amazing! The foundation goes on white when you apply it to your skin. It then adjusts its pigment to match you skintone within a few minutes. I love this feature because I never have to figure out what color foundation to choose again. Choosing a foundation is usually a hit or miss for me  but Argan Matchmaker Serum Foundation has taken the guess work out. Did I mention there is a brush included in the set?

There are so many aspects of this collection that I like. The Argan Color Stick “In Love” for example, gives you just the right amount of “rosy” color for a natural look and you can use it on your cheeks, forehead and lips! Quite unique!

The entire collection is infused with Argan oil and the face serum is 100% Pure Argan oil. All the produces in Josie Maran Argan Pure Complexion 5 Piece Collection can also be purchased separately. You can find this collection as well as other Josie Maran Skincare products at www.qvc.com
