As simple as it sounds, a little shimmer and shine can go a long way when you want to look fresh-faced and radiant in a flash.
I had this “Aha!” moment last weekend when I was getting ready to meet friends in the city for brunch.
I woke up late (purr usual) that morning, even with the extra hour from Daylight Savings (apparently, I need more sleep than a fairytale character), and I had less than 10 minutes to put on ye olde warpaint.
I grabbed Josie Maran’s new Winter Dreams Argan Color Collection ($34).

The set includes…
- A 0.17-oz. tube of Argan Black Oil Mascara
- A 0.16-oz. tube of Argan Infinity Lip and Cheek Creamy Oil in Limitless Pink
- A 0.16-oz. bottle of Coconut Watercolor Eyeshadow in Rio de Rose Gold
- A 0.15-oz. bottle of Argan Illuminizer
- A 0.5-oz. bottle of 100% Pure Argan Oil Light
