Josie Maran Bronzing Argan Oil pt. 1

When I got a couple of samples of the cosmetics I was rather intrigued by the Bronzing Argan Oil. I wondered if the bronzing effect was worth the extra four bucks and whether it was too oily for my skin.

Originally I really did think it was going to be but it sinks in nicely without that oily touch. This is vegan. Unfortunately it does have a weird smell. The description says it has a light-citrus essential oil scent. My impression of it is that it is a light citrus but the rest of it smells like play doh. The scent does dissipate after a little while.

I'm going to use this for a whole month so I can test the results on my acne-prone skin but for now here are some Before/After to show the tint.

Just so you can get idea of how dark the tint is before being blended in.

Before: haha Ignore the smudge of unblended sunscreen
After: Oooh look at how bronzy I look. Or not.
I tried to keep the lighting the same and honestly I don't notice a difference at all. I say if you're deciding between the Bronzing Argan Oil and the regular one, just get the regular one.

Disclosure: I got a small sample of the Bronzing Argan Oil as part of a giveaway, I wasn't sponsored or paid for this.
