Josie Maran Cosmetics

On Saturday, August 1st, I had the privilege to meet supermodel and actress Josie Maran at the grand opening of the new Sephora in Times Square.  She is so sweet! 

Many of you may have seen her face in Maybelline advertisements, or perhaps have seen her getting bitten by Howie from the Backstreet Boys in their video, "Everybody" (if not, watch it again and look closely haha).  
Maran was giving free makeovers using cosmetics from her own line called Josie Maran Cosmetics.   Since it's free, you know I'm up for it!  I only asked for my eye makeup to be done, so Josie only used eye products, but she does have blush, concealer, foundation, bronzer, etc.

 And so the makeover begins............ 

And here I am with Josie Maran! She created a smoky eye look and a sort of cat eye look (Btw, she's gorgeous!). Josie applied massive amounts of eye shadow, eye liner, and mascara to create the look.  All the products were great, but I was especially satisfied with the mascara.  I've tried so many kinds and they have all left black circles under my eyes.  I have come to the conclusion that I can only use the ones that are waterproof.  However, I cannot wash it off with water, which is quite frustrating.  

This one on the other hand is totally smudgeproof! I wore it while roaming around Times Square in the blazing heat for the entire day after my makeover and it didn't run or smear at all!  So if you're looking for smudgeproof mascara, this is it.
