You know you’re dying to add it to your makeup collection! You can purchase all of Josie Maran’s makeup on her Web site or at Sephora.

The Packaging

Let’s just say that the makeup’s packaging is paparazzi worthy. It’s recyclable and/or biodegradable, chic and metallic, making us feel like total rock stars whenever we pull it out to re-apply Compacts are made of a corn based plastic, lipstick and concealers are housed in aluminum and the outer boxes are made from 30% recycled stock and soy ink. The best part? All of Josie’s products are perfectly sized for your handbag, beach bag or clutch.

Lipstick

We tried the lipstick in Luscious, a peachy rose. The color is uber moisturizing and slides on smoothly. It feels creamy on your lips and deposits a sheer, but beautiful, peachy-rose color. It contains lip conditioners like Jojoba Seed Oil and Coconut Cream to keep lips comfy all day long.

Price: $18

Lip Liner

We don’t typically use lip liner. We’re scared it will give us ring-around-the-lips. But this product may have changed our minds. We tested the color Natural. It’s light and blends seamlessly into any lip color. You can’t even tell it’s there! Plus, it’s housed in wood from sustainable forests and promises to help color stay put. We think it gets the job done!

Price: $16

Lip Gloss

This lip gloss tastes good enough to eat and has a delicious aroma that kept us smacking out lips all day long. The color was rich and the formula stayed put, without being sticky and goopy. Colors are meant to highlight your natural lip color with just a hint of shimmer.

Price: $18

Cream Bronzer

We have to admit, the thought of Cream Bronzer scared us. What if it’s streaky? What if we apply too much? But Josie Maran Cream Blush couldn’t make it easier to apply the perfect amount of color. We suggest swiping it on with a makeup sponge. Lightly run the sponge through the color and stipple on cheeks, down the bridge of the nose, and across the forehead. Then, use the other side of the sponge to blend into skin. The resulting color is beachy-bronze. We found there’s really no way to overdo it with this product. Plus, it contains moisturizers like coconut oil, olive oil, cocoa butter and shea butter.

Price: $30

Eye Shadow

We tried the Eye Shadow in Sweetheart, a creamy beige. This is perfect to swipe across your entire lid before creating a smoky eye. It’s also a great color to wear alone on a hot summer day, just to give eyes an extra punch of shimmer. The actual shadow feels velvety on your finger and blends seamlessly on the eye. Apply it wet for a more intense shade. You can find a variety of colors, including Valentine (pearly pink), Mist (yellowish gold), and Chianti (reddish plum).

Price: $18
