100% Pure Organic Argan Oil

This 100% Natural, 100% Vegan, Gluten Free Pure Organic Argan oil is a multipurpose moisturizer for face, body & hair. The oil comes packaged in a hygienic pump bottle. For my entire face and neck I only need less than a pump.

The texture is quite runny compared to other oils in general. It feels lightweight too but does take a while to completely absorb. I use this 2-3 times a week as a night treatment, when I want to skip my night cream. Once it absorbs completely, it does not stain pillowcases or leave a residue. It works great as a cuticle treatment too. The dry weather has been taking a toll on my cuticles leaving them dry so, I just massage a tiny drop before going to bed.100% Pure also recommends this for hair, as a serum. I've only tried applying it to my ends and it leaves them soft, moisturized & tangle-free.

It does a fabulous job as an overnight moisturizer. The dry bits around my mouth and cheeks were gone by morning! It does not look like an oil slick on my dry skin even during the day, when used alone. However, I would not recommend using this under makeup. After a good 3 hours, I could see my makeup sliding off, especially if you are wearing foundation and powder. It works best as a skin treatment. I love how healthy my skin looks after using this the previous night.
Overall, 100% Pure's Organic Argan Oil($19) is a winner and worth every penny. The small bottle would last you a very long time. I also love the ingredients list with just 100% Pure Organic Argan Oil sans any Vitamin E blends. If you are looking for a good moisturizing treatment and a cure for dry skin in general, this is a great pick!

NOTD - Zoya Nail Polish in Neeka

Neeka is part of Zoya's Fall 2011 Smoke & Mirrors collection. Neeka is a deep, smoky purple with very fine gold shimmer. Its a difficult color to capture in pictures. The shimmer is more obvious under flash or outdoors.

Taken Indoor with Flash

This color is completely opaque with 2 coats but, you can easily get away with just one. The consistency is perfect and streak-free. Neeka is a gorgeous color, perfect for fall. This is one of the many beautiful shades from Zoya's Fall Collection. I would recommend a glossy top coat since Neeka is not very glossy by itself.

All Zoya Nail Polishes are free of Formaldehyde, Toluene, DBP and Camphor.
