The Ordinary “B” Oil really surprised me! At first glance (and smell) I didn’t think I would like it, but once I sampled it on my hand and saw how nicely it sank in, I was almost convinced, but still cautious. After a couple months of using it, I am happy to report I like it! A lot! I have…

I went and got a sample of Drunk Elephant’s $72.00 Virgin Marula Oil from Sephora for the purposes of this comparison review. In this review, I’ll be comparing it to The Ordinary’s Virgin Marula Oil to determine if it’s worth the extra cost. Recall that I wrote a similar review comparing The Ordinary’s Squalane with Biossance’s Squalane and it was…
