Anyone use Josie Maran argan oil stick?

I was reading about it in a magazine, and the reviews all seem positive online at Sephora, but wanted to hear from anyone on here.

I liked how it is a universal product- it can used for dry cuticles, dry patches on hand/body, gives extra boost of moisture on face/around eyes....

If you have it, do you love it?

Have it. I have the oil and the stick. It is ok. I have felt a huge let down, after all the hype, it was just ok. When I consider the $$ I am NOT happy. The stick is too heat sensitive in my opinion. Go easy on the face it tends to cause white heads (and I am not acne prone)
I would recommend pure Shea butter before JM (or any) Argan oil.

Thanks for the feedback. Where can I get pure Shea butter? Can you apply it to your face as well?

I use L'Occitane shea butter, I find it one of the more clean/pure brands.

You can purchase from L'Occitane, they have stores or from Sephora
www.sephora.com/100-pure-shea-butter-P39675

They make tiny sizes if you wish to sample.

It comes solid but melts easily when rubbed between fingers/palm.

I use it smooth my hair, on my lips, and body. For my face I only use sparingly around my eyes or on a dry/chapped area on my face (like a sun or wind burn or winter chap). It is one of the few products I can use close to my eyes that does not burn or irritate my sensitive eyes.
If you are prone to dry, cracked hands and feet you will love shea butter.

It is great melted and mixed with coconut oil for a body oil or deep hair conditioner.

I have the mini Argan stick and I like it. Great for touching up small dry spots and great for cuticles too.
