Josie Maran Cosmetics Argan Beauty Canvas Limited-Edition Holiday Collection Review

Beauty gifts sets are always the best way to experiment with new products.

The holidays are a prime time to grab some great values on beauty gifts sets to give as well as buy for yourself to test before buying larger sizes.  Argan oil-based makeup and skin care brand, Josie Maran Cosmetics, is offering quite a few enticing options. Today, I want to fill you in on her Argan Beauty Canvas Limited-Edition Holiday Collection ($45.00 USA) that has a $79.00 value!

To start, you get a full-size Surreal Skin Argan Finishing Balm that retails for $36.00 alone as well as a travel-size (0.18 oz.)!  This hydrating, anti-aging product is a cross between makeup and skin care because it follows your makeup or moisturizer.  It smooths over the face, giving it a dewy quality.  However, the second most prevalent ingredient the formula

The Argan Beauty Canvas set is a $79.00 value for $45.00 (USA).

has is dimethicone, which can trap bacteria, grime and oils and cause skin eruptions for some people due to the nature of this sand-based molecule that can embed itself in pores.

You also get a 0.4 fl. oz. bottle of Argan Moonstone Drops.  A drop or two before foundation or alone really helps the complexion glow from its beneficial mix of oils such as argan, lavender and lemon grass along with the mineral, mica for its contribution of a shimmer.

Still, there is more to this kit than just skin care.  You also get a 0.06 oz. tube of Argan Lip Sting Plumping Butter in Boysenberry.  This berry shade  appears darker in the tube until you apply it.  It is on the sheer side that is easily built up to darken.  It does slightly sting, but does manage to volumize somewhat and treat lips like a lip balm.

If you’re thinking it’s time for new skin care and makeup and never tried Josie Maran Cosmetics, then the Argan Beauty Canvas is something to look into.  This limited-edition holiday collection also makes an ideal holiday beauty gift for those on your list.  Check it out at the company’s website.
