Welcome to another review! I am such a fan of Josie Maran products, that I had to pick these up when I was at Sephora a little more than a month ago. Josie Maran products are truly high quality, and I knew that these would not be disappointing. Also, these cheek gelées are comprised of organic, natural ingredients, is recyclable, paraben, gluten, and cruelty free, and contains no synthetic fragrance, like most, if not all the products in Josie Maran cosmetics. According to the packaging,
"Get 14 hours of natural-looking hydrating color with this cooling cheek gelée. Infused with 50% Coconut Water, the buildable, yet see-through blush drenches skin in moisture while nourishing with Argan Oil."
As these are fairly pricey products, I decided to only purchase 2 of the 6 shades available. I have the colors Poppy Paradise and Pink Escape.
(L-R: Poppy Paradise, Pink Escape)
Poppy Paradise is a wearable hot pink-ish color. On the cheeks it looks a little bit more coral.
Pink Escape is a true, medium pink color. However, when swatched, it looks a bit more berry.
Application:
I suggest applying this product with a brush. I normally use a duo fibre brush so it does not pick up too much product. At first, I applied the gelée with my fingers and just tapped it onto my cheeks, however, this method stained my fingers more than my cheeks. I felt like I had to continuously apply the color with little color payoff. If you decide to purchase this product, I recommend applying it with a brush. Also, these cheek gelées are very blendable, so it's basically a foolproof product.
Staying Power:
This product is basically a cheek stain, so this lasts incredibly well on the skin. I have very oily skin during the summer and it is nice to know that I count on this product to remain the whole day. This product leaves your skin with a very natural look.
Pros:
- Natural looking
- Stains cheeks, so it will last throughout the day
- Extremely blendable
- Basically foolproof
Cons:
- If applied with your fingers, it will stain them
Final Thoughts:
Overall, this is an awesome product to use everyday. It will be able to match whatever look you want to pull off, whether it be a simple, natural look or a more daring look. Josie Maran products never fail to disappoint.
Grade: A+
This product is available at Sephora and the Josie Maran Cosmetics website. It retails for $22.
