Maintaining a beautiful complexion can get pricey as we all know.  However, I recently became acquainted with a very affordable line from One’n Only Argan Oil with their new launch of facial skin care products that deserve your attention.

Their Argan Oil Cream Cleanser ($9.99) is gentle enough to remove stubborn makeup while lavishing the skin with creamy moisture from argan oil as well as a fruit derived AHA + Peptide Complex.  This cleanser is one that you tissue off before rinsing away and washing.  Those with dry skin such as mine would really like the way this product got rid of daily makeup grime and soothed the skin.

Argan Love Your Lips Hydrating Lipsticks Line


What if I told you that I just may have the answer to your ultimate lipstick dryness woes? Let me fill you in on the juicy details of Josie Maran Cosmetics Argan Love Your Lips Hydrating Lipsticks that I had the chance to try.

There are six stunning shades available in this line.  I was provided with two tubes in Fuschia Frolic (a bright, sheer pink) and Happy Honey (a warm rosy nude).

Here is Fuchsia Frolic that I'm holding.

In this photo, I am modeling Fuschia Frolic.

The first thing you will notice is that the color is centered in the middle and is surrounded by a clear coating. 

Once applied, these lipsticks glide on and leave a slightly lighter shade than its brilliant core. The amount of hydration they left felt wonderful on my dry lips due to the moisture-rich argan oil in its unique 3-in-1 formulation for a glossy effect in addition to lovely color. You can build onto the color by adding more. 

As to length of wear, I would say to expect about several hours (about four) before you will want to reapply.  I put mine on after breakfast and kept it on until eating my lunch.

The best part about Josie Maran Argan Love Your Lip Hydrating Lipsticks ($22) is how your soothed lips will feel even afterwards.  Do check this line out and give those lips some satisfaction!

Josie Maran Cosmetics Argan Eye Love You Eye Shadow Palette Review

Disclaimer: This post is based on a free product provided by a company as a press sample so that I may offer my own opinion, which may be the same or differ from yours.

If you want to open up your eyes, light is the sure way to do it.  With Josie Maran Cosmetics Argan Eye Love You Eye Shadow Palette that I was sent to review, this is the lovely effect you can expect from these eight pans of soft, illuminating colors.

The feel of this finely-milled and argan oil enriched powder is velvety to the touch.  Unlike some eye shadow formulas that may cake or look powdery, this shadow clung to the lids with extra smoothness and remained there without disappearing for hours.   

Anyone with dry skin like mine will appreciate that bit more moisture to the eye area from that ingredient of argan oil.  In addition, it also made for better gliding of the powder and easier blending.

The colors of this palette are marvelous.  Radiance is bone pearl shade with traces of gold. Crown is a pale gray with hints of peach luster.  Cinnamon is a champagne pink shimmer. Cabernet is wine overcast with gold luster.  Adorn is a sort of a pink-lilac shade. Feather is a gleaming pink-gold color.  Royal is a haunting deep blue-black with a shimmer. Cloak is a soft, but matte black with a sprinkle of just a touch of silver glitter to accent it.

I swatched the shades for you the best I could.  One shade in particular was hard to capture so I do apologize.  It was there but refused to photograph properly.

I really think this is a wonderful palette and would recommend it to all, especially those ladies with dry skin or aging eye lids. Josie Maran’s Cosmetics Argan Eye Love You Eye Shadow Palette ($42) will compliment your eyes advantageously.  Check it out!

A Must to Wake Up Your Skin Tone--Josie Maran Cosmetics Argan Tinted Moisturizer Light 1 (Review) + SWATCH!

Why not get a look that you'll feel proud of while jumpstarting your makeup and skin care at the same time?  I got a chance to try Josie Maran Cosmetics Argan Tinted Moisturizer in Light 1 and must tell you that you'll feel confident wearing this one product to perfect your complexion as it acts as an amazing foundation, moisturizer, and sunscreen without harmful chemicals like parabens, sulfates, and phthalates.

I really liked this natural formulation. This was hardly lightweight, sheer coverage that you might expect from a tinted moisturizer.  The product delivered ample medium foundation coverage with a wonderful dewy quality thanks to the moisturizing 100% pure argan oil, pomegranate oil, goji berry, and natural papaya extracts.  My dry skin looked rejuvenated while this tinted moisturizer evened out my skin tone without any irritation.  My complexion stayed lovely and intact for hours without needing any touch ups.

Light 1 is recommended for those with cool tones because it has some pink to it. On the other hand, the Light 2, which was suggested the proper choice for light skin with yellow undertones, looked darker on the screen.  This is why I thought the paler color of the two would probably work the best for me when selecting a shade for this review.

Here is a swatch of the color.

Notice from my above photo that Light 1 has enough yellow to the pink.  I squeezed out a thick wad of it just to demonstrate the full color for you because this shade matches my light skin quite nicely once blended.

I appreciated the fact that this product had a natural broad spectrum sunscreen SPF 30 to safeguard from harmful rays.  However, I only wish it could be a slightly higher SPF.  Nonetheless, it still does not diminish my love for this tinted moisturizer with the incredible way it performs.  

If you haven't tried this product or a tinted moisturizer because you thought the coverage would be lacking, then I suggest trying Josie Maran's Cosmetics Argan Tinted Moisturizer because it is a great way to go!  It retails for $38 for the 1.7 fl. oz. tube.

Arganio Skin & Hair Care's 100% Pure Organic Argan Oil and Argan Soft Skin Lotion Review

Arganio Skin & Hair Care's 100% Pure Organic Argan Oil and Argan Soft Skin Lotion

Until Arganio Skin & Hair Care reached out and asked me if I would be willing to review their products, I had never heard of this company.   I do like argan oil products.  Therefore, I decided to see how their 100% Pure Organic Argan Oil and Argan Soft Skin Lotion measured up.

The first one I tried was the argan oil, which I began using twice a day after cleansing.  What I found works best to prevent a greasy feeling is to allow your skin to remain slightly damp before applying a few drops of the argan oil.  Two drops were all I needed to moisturize my face and give my dry complexion a bit of a glow.

I also like using argan oil to tame my hair when it is need of some extra control.  A few drops to stubborn hair manage it with an extra shine when you don't want to weigh it down with more styling products.

Did you know that you can strengthen brittle nails by soaking them for ten minutes in a solution of equal parts of the argan oil and lemon juice?  There are so many ways you can use argan oil and benefit. 

Arganio 100% Pure Organic Argan Oil is rich in antioxidants, vitamin E, carotenoids, and fatty acids that can be used on all skin types.  I haven't been using this product long, but it is a nice quality argan oil that comes in a dark blue tinted glass bottle with a dropper applicator that is certified organic by ECOCERT in Morocco.  

I would have liked to have seen the Arganio formula when the ingredients were at their most active state instead of testing one nearing its expiration date to truly judge what it is capable of when fresh. Nonetheless, it lubricates the skin and hair very well.

The Arganio Argan Soft Skin Lotion is meant to be used on the hands, feet, and body.  This is a lightweight lotion with lavender essential oil in a pump dispenser that is wonderfully absorbed by the skin without leaving you feeling greasy.  Though it is not intended for the face, I tried some there as well and liked the comfort and softness it left behind. 

The 30-ml 100% Pure Organic Argan Oil retails for $21.99.  The 60-ml (2.02 oz.) Argan Soft Skin Lotion is priced at $14.99.  Both were wonderful products that I really liked.  Do visit Arganio Skin & Hair Care for more information or to purchase.
