Josie Maran Argan Color Stick in Petal Pink - Review, Photos & Swatches

Josie Maran Argan Color Stick($22) is a sheer cheek & lip color, available in two shades, Petal Pink(Peachy Shimmery Pink) and Rosy(Dusty Rose). Infused with Argan Oil, these Color Sticks provide color & nourishment. It is a great pick for normal/dry skin for a sheer flush of color.


Petal Pink is a very flattering shade of shimmery peachy pink. The color is rather sheer but very natural for a daytime look. The stick is very moisturizing and glides on skin for a wash of color. I use my fingers to blend the color to my cheeks. The color blends seamlessly on moisturized skin and leaves a dewy finish. Petal Pink is a shimmery shade but the shimmer isin't gritty. If you have large pores though, be sure to prep well. I haven't had any breakouts from using this so far but, if you have oily skin and don't like the dewy finish, be sure to top it off with a setting powder.


Since it is a cream product, it is not the most long lasting when worn by itself. I would recommned setting it with powder blush or prepping well with primer prior to applying it to increase the staying power. The stick has a very strong scent that takes a while to fade. The packaging is the most easiest to travel with without having to worry about product breakage or leakage. I also love the rose gold casing that makes it very classy looking.


The Argan Color Stick is also recommended to be used on lips. If you have very dry lips this may not be the best option and also since it has shimmer it tends to accentuate dryness. As a cheek product, it looks incredibly natural and very flattering on most skin tones. There's also a good amount of product in there that will last you a long time.
