There are some days I don't wear a speck of makeup. Don't get me wrong, I love playing with it and experimenting and all that, but I also don't ever feel like I need it on in order to leave the house. I DO, however, refuse to leave the house without sunscreen on. I do not want wrinkles, I do not want cancer, and I don't even want a sunburn that'll fade in a day.
I was super excited to try Josie Maran Argan Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30 because argan is all the rage and Josie Maran is stunningly, naturally beautiful, so if you combine the two you're bound to get a great product, right? The first time I tried it, I wasn't convinced. Sure, it had flawless, beautiful coverage, but I thought it might be too much for me. I'm used to a lightweight tinted moisturizer, and this bordered on too heavy.
I even talked about its perceived weight on my face in the Josie Maran Saves My Face video diary from My Chemical Breakup (below is a still, so you can see how smooth my face is):
But this is why we test products for more than one application. After a week of using Josie Maran Argan Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30, I'm pretty hooked. I can rub it on and go out the door with smooth, flawless skin even if there are lurking imperfections. It isn't high maintenance, it doesn't even need powder over it to control shine.
Frankly, that's another benefit: the look is dewy without being shiny, something this oily-T-zoned lady thought would never be possible. You can set it with a light brush of powder and have matte skin, or leave it for a fresh, dewy look. I love that versatility. Josie Maran Argan Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30 offers perfect coverage from the sun AND works to hide imperfections!
