MODEL CITIZEN Launch at Sephora 5th Ave.

 

The day has finally come! We launched Model Citizen at Sephora 5th Avenue and it was amazing. Along with fellow model citizen, Petra Nemcova, I got a chance to share this collection with a cause with our friends, fans and beauty experts who were so supportive and warm. Thank you so much for all those who came tonight and for everyone who captured the evening through photos!

If you want to be part of Model Citizen, it will be available in Sephora and QVC. You can find the story behind the campaign along with our handpicked beauty bonuses at josiemaran.com. 

A big thanks to Artists & Fleas where I found this chicological (vintage) dress. They sure know how to make a pregnant gal feel beautiful. Keep checking back here for more news about Model Citizen. Along with Earth Day, it's going to be a huge month!

A DAY IN THE LIFE Halloween with Sephora

Our Director of Education, Jessica Camper, sent us a few photos from her Halloween with the Sephora team in Dallas. The entire zombie/fish look on Jordan Cook was created using our REM Pen 2-in-1 Argan Eye Shadow & Gel Liners. Crazy, huh?

What were you for Halloween? Post a photo on our Facebook wall and we'll select a winner to get an awesome prize.

SEPHORA LAUNCH Mexico!

We're so happy to finally be in Mexico! Here is a sneak peek at the grand opening party for Sephora Mexico City! The line was long and the excitement was big.

If you live there and happen to stop in, send photos our way.

A DAY IN THE LIFE Sephora Cluster Training

What a treat it was to meet our Sephora friends from throughout Southern California in a night of hands-on training with our products, plenty of Moroccan food and drinks, and of course, our REM Pen challenge which asked everyone to get creative and go crazy! Having them come to our offices to see how grassroots we really are and to see that there are kind and good people behind our company really makes them feel like they understand the whole vision behind Josie Maran Cosmetics.We were so happy to have them over for a night of Luxury with a Conscience and we welcome them back anytime!

Thanks Sephora!

SEPHORA GRAND OPENING Meatpacking District

Before you head out for the weekend, check out Josie's snap for her red carpet interview at the Grand Opening of Sephora in the Meatpacking District of NYC. A showstopper of a store, she got to check out the modern and art-filled space (like this perfume chandelier), plus mingle with the likes of Charlotte Ronson, Peter Thomas Roth and an actress who has been known to wear our Argan Oil Hair Serum, the lovely Zoe Saldana. If you're in the city, pop in and tell us what you think! And for more photos of Josie at the event, see here.

BEAUTY GIVES BACK Marie Claire Exclusive

With Morocco being the source of Argan Oil and home to the wonderful Berber women who taught me all about it, it will always be dear and inspiring to me. That is why I am honored to partner with Marie Claire to exclusively offer my Natural Radiance Collection through Sephora. By buying this set (which you can read about and purchase here), you can help the Marocavie Association provide drinking water and other services to Moroccan communities that need it. It truly is beauty that gives back!
