X-RAY: JOSIE MARAN ESCAPE TO MOROCCO HOLIDAY LIGHTS & BRIGHTS SET

Josie Maran talks us through her argan-packed holiday gift set.

With a new little girl, Josie Maran hasn’t had the opportunity to escape to Morocco recently—but, she says, “I feel like I’m transported there anytime I wear argan oil, which is pretty much all the time!” Maran adds: “Morocco is the spiritual and practical home of our business, so it’s beyond inspiring for me. The argan tree, which is rare and protected by the women’s co-ops that provide our oil, takes 14 years to produce fruit, so I thank the trees whenever I’m there.”

This season, we’re thankful for argan oil, too—most notably in this curated kit that features some of Maran’s argan-based must-haves. Here, she breaks it down for us. HOLLY SIEGEL

THE 100% PURE ARGAN OIL LIGHT “I included 100% Pure Argan Oil Light to spread the love for the latest member of our argan oil family, and because it’s great to put on before my makeup,” says Maran.

THE ARGAN ILLUMINIZER “Holidays call for a little extra sparkle, and I love to mix Argan Illuminizer with my foundation and dab it around my eyes. You can’t have too much radiance during holiday season!”

THE ARGAN COLOR STICK IN SPICE “Last week I was in New York, running around meeting with beauty editors, and the pressure was on, and my color stick gave me an extra boost of confidence,” says Maran, adding, “The shade is a great natural nude. It warms up the complexion and adds just the right amount of flush to lips and cheeks.”

THE ARGAN HIGH GLOSS LIP QUENCH IN PINK HONEY “This sheer raspberry is delicious. I love that it gives me both color and intense hydration, since it’s infused with nourishing argan oil. And it’s 100% natural. I put it on in the morning and wear it while I’m running last-minute holiday errands—it’s that sheer. Then I re-apply it and build the color for a bold, nighttime party look.”
