http://bit.ly/ll6TTd
Product Description: 100% Pure Argan Oil (not certified organic)
Argan Oil is rich in Essential Fatty Acids (often referred to as Vit F) and Vit E, it is the undisputed anti-wrinkle treatment. Used as a hair mask it fortifies the hair shaft and brings life back to dull hair.
Argan Oil or Moroccan Oil has been used for centuries by local tribes in North Africa but only recently has it come to the attention of cosmetic scientists. Research shows that the oil is packed with beautifying ingredients like vitamin E, phenols, carotenes and essential fatty acids, in fact it is over 70% oleic & linoleum acids. These essential fatty acids are also known as the skin vitamin - Vitamin F, and just like other vitamins the body is unable to produce its own Vitamin F.
Argan oil has a strong aroma which fades quickly, the smell reminds most people of fresh olive stones.
Argan oil increases skin elasticity, nourishes and helps normalise the skin. Argan Oil is a 100% natural skin food and regular use will keep your skin in tip top condition.
Lovea (Copar) oils are supplied in an airtight glass bottle with a sealed pump dispenser at the top. Prior to shipping we store bottles in dark boxes to keep the oils fresh and preserve the anti-oxidants. Once opened we recommend the oil is stored away from direct sunshine and heat sources.


Full Ingredients
Argan Oil (Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil)
Personal Experience: When I received my package I was really excited about this product, I have tried the kiehl’s argan oil with no luck and was about to purchase Moroccan oil until I saw it was filled with silicones. This product is 100% argan as its main ingredient rich in vitamin e and noted for liquid gold in some counties. The product comes in a glass bottle with a pump, not so great for travelling. The sticker label is written in French with a little blub of English. I had to seek mypure website for directions on use. When I first visited mypure the only directions was to apply the product prior to washing hair for treatment. Right now the website states “Best applied to moist skin straight after bathing or showering. Add a few drops to your favourite moisturiser for an extra anti-oxidant boost! As a hair mask comb through dry or towel dry hair. Can be washed out after 5 mins with Lovea Argan Oil Shampoo or left in until next wash.” So I will be doing a further review using the product for my skin next month.
The pump shoots the product quite rapidly and I tend to spill it on furnishing, it is best to pump a few drops into your hand and then massage onto the scalp. The smell does pong, a very unpleasant smell but it soon disappears. I usually leave the product on for 5-10 mins and then use my Australian organics haircare. The oil is quickly absorbed within seconds and I felt the benefits instantly.
After shampooing I notice my hair was a lot smoother and had no tangles making it really easy to apply my conditioner. It did not weigh my hair down at all and my hair was revived back to health. Once dried my hair looked a lot shinier and silky smooth. My hairdresser even commented about my hair when I was at the hairdressers on Monday she said my hair felt really soft and asked me when I last washed my hair.
Price: 5/5
Quality: 5/5
Packaging: 4/5
Overall: 4/5

Pros:
Instant results
silky lustrous hair
Nourishes hair
strengthens from deep within

Cons:
the pump shoots the product too quick
Would I re-purchase again? YESSSS, it working wonders for my hair I use it once a week and not only my hair looks so good it is much easier to manage.

It smells fabulous a slight fruity exotic and defiantly not artificial. It’s a great price for body butter and works very well on my skin. The product goes a long way with the tiniest amount.

Lovea Bio Argan Oil Cell Renewal Body Scrub Review

Wednesday, 6 October 2010

This month I was sent Lovea Bio Argan Oil Cell Renewal Body Scrub to test out. It’s been over 3 weeks of testing. More about Lovea brand on their website http://www.loveabio.fr
This product is 99.2% natural and contains sugar, argan oil, and orange peel.  This scrub is suitable for all skin types.
Full ingredients list
Caprylic / Capric Triglyceride, EXTRACT * Saccharum officinarum (Saccharum officinarum (SUGAR CANE) EXTRACT), SILICA Octyldodecanol, argan SPINOSA OIL *, caprylyl / capryl glucoside, Helianthus annuus * SEED OIL (Helianthus annuus (SUNFLOWER) SEED OIL), Capsicum annuum * FRUIT EXTRACT, argan SPINOSA SHELL POWDER * CITRUS aurantium dulcis (CITRUS aurantium dulcis (ORANGE) PEEL POWDER), TOCOPHEROL, Tocopheryl Acetate, PARFUM (FRAGRANCE), AQUA (WATER), Glyceryl caprylate, POLYEPSILON-LYSINE, Dehydroacetic ACID, BENZYL ALCOHOL, Limonene, Linalool.
This product is packaged in a see through tube, and with Lovea branding on the front and back. The text is written in French, so I had to go online to Lovea website and mypure for directions of use.  The product is 150 ml in size and cost £7.49.
Lovea Bio Body Scrub with Argan Oil is formulated with orange peel, sugar and argan oil to gently exfoliate and promote cell renewal.
Directions of use
Apply 1-2 times a week on damp skin, with small circular movements with emphasis on areas roughest. Rinse thoroughly.

The colour of the scrub is brown, and you can see the small particles of sugar and orange peel once squeezed out. I must warn you about my accident, being in a tube and the particles of sugar and orange peel, the tube became clogged up with the product and you will find it very hard to squeeze the scrub out of its tube. I had it upright and the scrub landed on my hair and it took me around 3 washes to get rid of the oil and sugar. Lovea needs to change the packaging as this has happened quite often, I would like to see this product in a tub so I can control the amount I use.  I have almost used the product up within the last month of testing.
The product smells really sweet I just loved the oriental aroma it is great in the shower as the smells surround you. I absolutely love the scent of orange peel. You can see the tiny particles of sugar, and the slight oil consistency visible on your skin. I actually thought I was smelling honey all this time until I checked the ingredients online.
The product was very easy to work with on damp skin in the shower.  As for exfoliation I think the product was too gentle and couldn’t feel the effects of the micro particles of sugar and orange peel on my skin. Once rinsed off your skin is left feeling coated with the argan oil which I liked, yet it wasn’t enough for me so I had to use a body butter or cream afterwards. It did leave my legs with a nice sheen.
Overall I loved the smell of the scrub, but did not find exfoliate my skin very well. The tube packaging needs to be changed as I had no control of the amount distributed and once clogged was very hard to get anything out. You can tell how much I struggled by the state of the packaging shown in my photo’s.
Lovea Bio Argan Oil Cell Renewal Body Scrub can found online at http://www.mypure.co.uk sold for £7.49 for 150ml.
