Avon Stories Eau de Toilette have launched in four different scents for Spring 2019 and they remind me Pinrose so much (and maybe a bit Good Chemistry too!).
I guess imitation is the best of flattery as they say!
I’m actually a fan of a lot of Avon fragrances! Soft Musk is amazing! Get it. Anyway, I am quite a fan of Avon fragrances so I do want to check out these new Stories EDTs out.
Some part of me thinks Josie Maran Skin Dope Argan + Hemp Oil ($65) is a ridiculous name. Dope, hemp, am I reading to much into the innuendos? As we head into Spring 2019, you’re going to start seeing a lot of “cleaner” beauty products and ones that include hemp oil. This trended started late last year with the introduction of products from Milk Makeup like their Kush High Volume Mascara which contains hemp-derived cannabis seed oil. Why do I feel like brands do this just to seem somehow edgy versus any actual real benefits from hemp oil? Don’t get me wrong here…! Hemp oil has good hydrating benefits but I do question if brands want to appear a bit more hip by including ingredients like hemp oil in their products.
Josie’s formula is a bit expensive for what you get. It’s simply organic argan oil and hemp oil nothing more, nothing less. 1.7 oz is $65 and most would argue they can get either oil for a few bucks at a local health food store. Her formula promises to address dryness, loss of firmness and elasticity as well as dullness as well as aging issue thanks to the fact it’s rich in omega 3, 6, and 9. There marketing says it’ll reveal bouncier, glowier skin and that skin will “bounce back”. It’s also part of Sephora’s “clean” line up of products that’s free of mineral oil, sulfates, etc…!
It sounds interesting enough but I’m always skeptical about the marketing on some of these products. As with most new product launches at Sephora this has great reviews already with people saying their skin is bouncy and smooth.

What do you think of Josie Maran Skin Dope Argan + Hemp Oil?
I think the name is a buzzkill for me. It’s just really not what I associate with Josie Maran. I mean, really, Skin Dope? I’m obviously getting way too old…!
Avon Valentine’s Day Collection for Spring 2019 has arrived! I’m so, so happy Avon has been on a roll lately with seasonal releases! The Holiday 2018 Collection was really quite lovely especially the Iconic Avon Lipsticks! I didn’t expect to see more from them so soon but they’ve released a very cute Valentine’s Day inspired collection that features heart-shaped lipsticks and I’m all over it.
Bath & Body Works Spring 2019 Candles have been popping up in select stores across the country but I haven’t had the pleasure of bumping into them yet! I’m happy to report they are available online now! I prefer shopping them online anyway as sales reps are way too aggressive in store!
Some of these scents are repromoted but others like Hot Fudge Sundae are brand new!
Take a look!
