where do you get your beautiful highlights? and is there an eco-friendly way to get them and maintain them.

The Clear Argan Moisturzing Stick seems to be discontinued.  Will it ever re appear?  I love it and don't want to add color everywhere that the stick can be used.

Hi Craftqueen! Thanks for your question! It's always so sad for me to have to discontinue products I love, but I have to make room for amazing new Argan innovation. The Argan Balm is fairly similar in texture to the Argan Moisturizing Stick, and should be a good substitute!

Dear Josie, what do you envision for the future of Josie Maran Cosmetics?

Hi Josie I suffer from mainly whiteheads on my nose and area around the nose, chin and a little bit on my forehead. I also have scars, and large pores. I have been using the Argan oil since May My forehead is a little cleared up, and also the sides of my face. Could recommend something for me?

Hi Josie! I am interested in what was the initial idea that sparked your desire to begin your own company and what were the initial challenges that you faced during the companies infancy. 

Thanks 🙂

Hi Natbrooke-

Thank you for signing it to chat with me! I got the idea for my company when I was preggers with my first daughter, Rumi Joon. I was super aware of what was going in and on my body, and kept asking my makeup artist friends if there was a natural, safe, and healthy alternative to the products I was using. They all said no, and told me it was impossible to create a line that was high performing and natural. I thought, I can't be the only one who wants something healthier for my body! I just knew I had to go out there and do it myself. There were definitely challenges--people kept telling me it was impossible. But I kept going!

Thank you for your reply! Keep up all of the beautiful work with your cosmetic line.

Hi Josie! You are so gorgeous! I've been a long time fan of your Argan color stick in petal pink. It looks amazing on both lips and cheeks and is fully pigmented. Are the watercolor cheek jellies similar?

[jmcteam]

Hi Sephoramusthave! Thanks so much for your question. I'm so glad you love the Argan Color Stick! The Coconut Watercolor Cheek Gelée is a little different. You can use it on both your lips and cheeks, but it provides more sheer, see-through color than the Argan Color Stick. It's infused with 50% Coconut Water to keep your skin hydrated, and gives your cheeks a really natural flushed look. I'm obsessed with it! If you love the Argan Color Stick in Petal Pink, I think Coconut Watercolor Cheek Gelée in Pink Escape will be perfect for you!

If I am using the Argan Matchmaker serum foundation, does that provide enough anti-aging benefits if I use another moisturizer?  I am currently disabled but am working to get my Masters in another area of work so that I can re-join the workforce but money is tight.

Thank you, Josie, you are so beautiful and you brand is helping me be more beautiful in my 40's!  I can't believe the Chameleon Pigments work so well, in the past I had tried other brands that were self adjusting and they always made me so dark, and an unnatural color, where as yours matches beautifully!

Thank you,

Sandy Aranyos
