Product Rave: Josie Maran Argan Infinity Lip And Cheek Creamy Oil (Hint: It's Love!)


Oh boy ladies, I'm in love. It was love at first sight to be more accurate. Imagine Greece's "Hopelessly Devoted To You" playing romantically in the background as I unpackaged these babies. And if you are wondering why this image looks filtered, it's because I HAD to Instagram it, of course. (It's valencia if you were wondering). These, my friends, are Josie Maran's newest beauty release and it's a stunner. You might be thinking, 'a lip & cheek oil? I don't want my cheeks to look greasy!" but have no fear - I, too, thought the same thing. Granted it was for about two seconds before I added them to my Sephora basket. Anyway, I'm pleased to tell you that these are completely non-greasy and happen to be just as beautiful, creamy, and natural-looking as I imagined them to be. They are thee perfect product for spring and summer - incredibly moisturizing and totally organic, they simply melt into the skin leaving behind the most natural pop o' color ever. Yes, this is in fact a total rave.


Kindly disregard my awkward hand, but here is a swatch of the two shades I bought. I decided on Always Cherry and Timeless Coral (also eyeing up Boundless Berry) but I found these shades very spring-time-appropriate. They're infused with Maran's famous 100% Argan Oil & deliver a sheer dewy tint that also leaves your lips and cheeks feeling nourished for hours. Yup, it's love! 

Will you be picking up one of Josie Maran's Argan Infinity Lip And Cheek Creamy Oil ($18)?

Beauty Products I Need To Try ASAP


So, I'm pretty obsessed with beauty and product haulin' so that means that I am constantly wanting to try out new products! Not all of these products are new, but they are ones that have been recommended or raved about by beauty bloggers I most definitely trust. Basically what I'm trying to say is that I need to get my hands on these oh so beautiful products. Dontcha think? :)

1. NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer - I've heard sooo many incredible things about this concealer this year that I'm honestly surprised I haven't caved and picked it up already. My current fave is the RMS Beauty Un-Coverup because it never sticks to try patches, but everyone has said this is such a hydrating concealer and longlasting! I definitely need to pick up this concealer immediately if nawt sooner.

2. The Body Shop Honey Bronzer - After hearing Estée from EssieButton and Ingrid from MissGlamorazzi rave about this bronzer, I've made the executive decision that I most definitely need it. I'm quite fair skinned and love a good matte bronzer, so something tells me this one is going to end up being a winner. It comes in four shades so if you're an olive skinned gal (lucky) then don't worry, I'm sure 04 Deep Matte will give you a rockin' summer glow even during this dreary winter months. 

3. Ren Clarifying Toning Lotion - My skin seriously looooves to be exfoliated but sometimes using a scrub or exfoliating mask is just too much on my skin. That's why I really want to try this exfoliating toner! Ren is an amazing skincare brand, so I'm almost positive I would love this product. It's supposed to un-clog pores, slough away dead skin, and leave your skin more even-toned and bright. Sounds hella good, am I right?! (did I really just say hella?)

4. Bobbi Brown Sheer Lip Color in Rosy - Okay so yes, this is another product that Estée and Ingrid raved about, but really, who doesn't love a sheer and moisturizing lip color? I know I do. They're so great for everyday when you don't want something drying or high maintanace but still want a pop o' color. 

5. Benefit Lollitint - I'm a huge fan of the cult-classic Benetint (so long lasting and lovely), and I just have a feeling that I'll feel the same way about the new lollitint. First of all, what a freakin' adorable name. Second of all, I love the unique orchid, almost lilac shade of this cheek stain. Get in my collection! 

What beauty products have you been lusting over lately?!
