Review: Alpstories Cold Pressed 100% Pure Organic Argan Oil

Hey Beauties!

Today's review is of the last product that I got from natural brand Alpstories. It's their Cold Pressed 100% Pure Organic Argan Oil

The oil is rich in vitamin E, essential fatty acids and proteins. It also helps to fight lines, repairs imperfections, minimizes scars and stretch marks and also restores texture, elasticity and tone of your skin.

Argan oil is also one of the best oils for hair. It can act as a moisturizer for the scalp to fight dandruff and dry scalp. It can also promote the growth of hair and undo some of the damage done through chemical treatments and hair coloring. It can also be used to treat split ends

So it's a really versatile oil that can be used on any part of your body. 


It comes in a heavy glass bottle. It has plastic top and gold pump. The plastic top already cracked, so it's not the best packaging for carrying around. As I mentioned in their cream review, I love their simplistic design.

It costs 17.90€ and you get 50 ml of it. You can buy it here.



The gold pump looks so chic and it works perfectly. You can control the amount of product that's coming out.


Oil is very runny and semi thick. It's transparent and it has a very slight natural smell to it. But the smell is barely noticeable. 


It's very greasy, but surprisingly it soaks into the skin really quickly. I guess that depends on what kind of skin you have. Mine has been really dry these days. It leaves behind shiny finish.

This is such a multi purpose oil, that you really can't go wrong with it. I really like to use it on my face in the night time. It also works really well with nigh time creams, as it just gives you a bit more moisture and nourishment. I find that it soaks in well and I can go to sleep without leaving oils stains all over my bedding. I find that my skin is a lot more elastic the other day and it feels really nourished and smooth. 

I also used it on my body. Especially on any dry parts and stretch marks. It feels nourishing and I love the greasy feeling on my skin, because I feel like it gives me another protective layer. By the morning their is no grease left and the skin is just soft and moisturized. 

For my hair this is a bit too thick. I have fine colored hair and this oils is a bit too heavy for them. I did use it as a pre-wash treatment, like coconut oil. I think this could be good for thick strong hair. I love some of the products for hair with argan oil, because I find it to be the best hair oil for damaged dry hair. However, this pure form of it, is too heavy for my hair type.



Extremely versatile oil. Everyone will find a use for it. It can be used on any parts of your body and it really does have great properties. It's the purest best from of argan oil that you can get and I think this can be a great gift for anyone with dry skin and hair. Alpstories also has huge selection of other oils for any skin problems and the prices are amazing for such natural products. I recommend you check their store, because you might just find your new staple product.

Današnja ocena je zadnja ocena izdelka, ki so mi ga poslala iz podjetja Alpstories. Gre za njihovo 100% organsko hladno stiskano arganovo olje. 

Olje je bogato z vitaminom E, osnovnimi maščobnimi kislinam in beljakovinami. Olje pomaga v boju proti gubam, odpravlja kožne nepravilnosti, minimizira brazgotine in strije, hkrati pa koži vrača teksturo, elastičnost in enakomeren ten.

Agranovo olje je tudi eno najboljših olj za lase. Lahko se uporablja kot vlažilno olje v boju proti prhljaju ali suhemu lasišču. Spodbuja hitrejšo rast las in odpravi poškodbe lasišča in las zaradi kemične obdelave in pogostega barvanja. Deluje tudi kot tretma proti razcepljenim konicam.

Olje je zelo vsestranko in se lahko uporablja na vsakem delu telesa. 

Olje je v težki stekleni streklenički. Ima plastičen pokrov in zlati dozirnik. Plastični pokrov mi je že počil, torej ni najbolj primerna embalaža za potovanja. Kot sem omenila pri oceni kreme, mi je zelo všeč njihov preprost dizajn.

Stane 17.90€ in vsebuje 50 ml izdelka. Kupite ga lahko tukaj

Zlat dozirnik izgleda zelo šik in deluje odlično. Vsekakor lahko kontorliramo želeno količino. 

Olje je zelo tekoče in srednje gosto. Je prozorno in ima zelo naraven subtilen vonj, ki ga komaj zaznam. 

Je mastno, ampak se zelo hitro vpije v kožo. To je odvisno od tipa kože. Moja koža je zadnje čase zelo suha. Olje za sabo pusti svetleč finiš.

To je večnamensko olje s katerim ne morete zgrešiti. Jaz ga zelo rada uporabljam na obrazu pred spanjem. Odlično se obnese kot dodatek nočnim kremam, saj doda malo več vlažnosti in nege. Zelo hitro se vpije v kožo in zato ne pušča mastnih madežev na posteljini. Naslednji dan je moja koža zelo negovana in gladka. 

Olje uporabljam tudi po telesu. Še posebej na predelih s suho kožo in strijah. Deluje vlažilno in všeč mi je masten občutek na koži, ker deluje kot zaščiten sloj. Do jutra moja koža ni več mastna, je samo mehka in navlažena. 

Za moje lase je to olje malo pregosto. Imam tanke barvane lase in to olje je za njih pretežko. Uporabila sem ga samo kot tretma pred pranjem, kot kokosovo olje. Mislim, da bi bilo olje dobro za debele močne lase. Obožujem nekatere izdelke za lase, ki vsebujejo arganovo olje, ker se mi zdi da je arganovo olje najboljše olje za poškodovane in suhe lase. Vendar pa je ta naravna čista različica pretežka za moj tip las.

Zelo vsestransko olje, za katerag bo vsak našel uporabno vrednost. Uporablja se lahko na katerem koli delu telesa in ima res odlične hranilne vrednosti. Je najbolj čista oblika rganovega olja in se mi zdi, da je lahko odlično darilo za osebe s suho kožo in suhimi lasmi. Alpstories ima veliko izbiro drugih olj za vse probleme kože in cene se mi zdijo odlične za tako naravne izdelke. Vsekakor priporočam da si ogledate njihovo trgovino in mogoče boste v njej našli svoj novi najljubši izdelek.

Review: Avon Advance Techniques Moroccan Argan Oil

Hey Beauties!

I finally found another hair jewel. It's Avon's hair oil, which is surprisingly not silicon based. I have tried the infamous Morrocan Oil in their Light version and didn't like it really. I think it's overrated. Today's version is a lot cheaper and surprisingly it should be for all hair types.


Avon's Advance Techniques Morrocan Argan Oil comes in this paper box. It's a hard glass bottle and it has a nice pump on top of it. 


It contains 30 ml and it costs from 6.50 to 3.30€. You can get it really cheap on sale.


The pump works really nice. You can control the amount you want to come out and it's really well made. The hole is just big enough. I usually use one and a half pump, because I do have really dry hair.


Here is the ingredients lists for those, who are interested.


Oil is  yellow and pretty runny. The scent reminds me of typical bubble gum Avon scent mixed with some oriental strong notes - which might just me the natural scent of argan oil. Don't expect the scent to last on the hair for days. 

I have very dry and very thin hair. My roots get greasy quickly, but my ends are very dry. Most of the oils can feel too heavy on my thin hair, but this one doesn't at all. I think you can overdo it, so don't put more than one and half to two pumps, if you have fine hair. It says to apply it on towel dried hair, which I do. I also may put some on after I blow dry my hair, if they feel super dry. 

The effect that I like the most from using it, is that my hair feels really soft. It seems to make them a bit more smooth and healthy looking in general - more moisturized. I have to say the effect doesn't last long on me, but that's just because my hair get really dry the second day. 


Highly recommend this oil to everyone. If you're hair is healthy, this is just a good way of keeping it this way. If you have damaged and dry hair, this will at least temporary make them look better. It might even benefit from it in a long run, since argan oil is one of the best oils for hair. The price is also amazing. 

Have you tried it? Do you like it too?
