Sephora Haul featuring Josie Maran Cosmetics

Last week, I posted about the Sephora Beauty Insider's 500 point gift for a Josie Maran set and how I snatched it. Well, it finally came this week and super glad it did. I can now enjoy all of the Argan Oil goodies including the two products that I purchased- Argan Oil Daily Moisturizer with SPF 40+ & Argan Illuminizer. But first, the 500 point gift!

I already have 3 out of 5 of the products before- lip gloss, GOGO mascara and the 100% pure Argan Oil. I'm excited to try the hair serum- the heat has definitely fried my hair- and the new cleansing oil! I only use a teensy amount of the cleansing oil and although it feels pretty oily when applying, using warm water to wash off, my skin feels amazingly clean and refreshed.

Argan Illuminizer- See more reviews here. I use this as a highlighter above my cheeks right now and love how it just makes my face look so radiant. It's a bit bronzey and the shade is just right- in fact, the color is so pretty, most skin tones can wear this and look absolutely stunning. They recommend using this under dark circles but I haven't tried that yet. For a gorgeous dewy look, I recommend this!

Daily Moisturizer- So far, this has been a really smooth moisturizer that I use sparingly. haha. This small little bottle was kinda expensive so I am saving it up! A pump is all I really need actually to cover my entire face. I use this first and then the illuminizer. :) (I was able to get cashback on my order via Ebates and get FREE hair product samples- coming soon!)

World of Grains Cookie Haul

I was first introduced to the delicious snacks of World of Grains at the Vital Juice's Pop-up Wellness Retreat back in June. I tried their snacks and crackers and remember thinking they were really delicious. Knowing that 6 cookies in each little bag contains 15 grams of whole grains, made me feel healthy just eating them.

I wasn't convinced at that time that I would be purchasing them. (They are available at select Whole Foods locations across the US.) After reading a Vital Juice newsletter saying they would be on sale I decided that I would go to the Whole Foods and check it out. They were on sale for 2 boxes (4 packets in each box) for $7. They are still more expensive than your average cookie but I figured I need more healthy snacks and they are just really good! The only available flavors left were Cranberry, Blueberry and Oatmeal Raisin. So I decided to get
2 boxes each, so I could share with my family. In 4 days, I already ate 3 packs, so I don't see these munchies lasting too long.

If you get the chance, I would recommend you getting yourself a box or two or even six. :)
