Hey Everyone!
A few days
ago my Sephora box arrived on my doorstep containing a slew of goodies. Among
those goodies were from the NEW Marc Jacobs cosmetic line, an eye shadow
palette and lip gloss!
The NEW
Marc Jacobs line from Sephora includes its Style Eye-Con No.7- Plush Shadows,
which are eye shadow palettes with 7 eye shadow colors. There are two color
options the first is 202 The Tease, which are gorgeous purple tones, and 204
The Starlet, more neutral warm and cool shades. The Style Eye-Con No.3- Plush
Shadows are a trio of eye shadows. The colors included The Glam 108, which is
advertised as “a warm cream, a metallic bronze with gold shimmer, and a peachy copper
sheen,” and The Mod 112, which is advertised as, “a eggshell white, a black
with iridescent shimmer, and a light grayish taupe.” The final eye product in
the line is the Magic Marc’er Precision Pen, which is a liquid eyeliner that
comes in the color Blacquer.
Moving on to the lip products
in the line. Marc Jacobs offers a Lip Lock Moisture Balm, which is essentially
a lip balm. The final product from the line is the Lust for Lacquer Lip
Vinyl-Sheer, which is a sheer lip gloss. It comes in 304 Overprotected a
“shimmering pastel pink,” 308 Heart Shaped, a “shimmering baby pink,” 302 Kissabilitiy,
a “shimmering lilac pink,” 310 Studded Kiss, a “shimmering berry lavender,” and
312 Lust for Life, a “shimmering reddish raspberry.”
The two products that I
picked out were the Style Eye-Con No.7- Plush Shadow in 202 The Tease
and the Lust
for Lacquer Lip Vinyl-Sheer in 310 Studded Kiss.
So let’s dive right in with packaging. The eye
shadows come in a sleek black case with the Marc Jacobs brand name in silver.
Inside it comes with a pretty decent sized mirror for the sleek packaging.
A
black piece of plastic protects the shadows. As for the colors, labeled 1-7 for
names, they are mostly all very pigmented, a dream to apply with no creasing
and barely any fallout, and long lasting.

The only disappointment that I found
with the eye shadows was number 7. It looks absolutely gorgeous in the pan, but
it doesn’t look quite as good on the eyes.
Overall, I absolutely love this palette and cannot wait to get it in the
other color.

L-R: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7.
The packaging for the
lip gloss is also sleek, with a clear body, black twist cap, and the Marc
Jacobs name in silver. The
applicator that it comes with is flat and easily
bendable.

I must say I am not a fan of this applicator, as it took me a few
tries to figure out how to really use it without smearing lip gloss all over my
face. As for the product itself, there is sort of a lip gloss smell about it
that might bother some people, but I can live with it. Once applied to the lips
it gives off a tingly sensation (again I don’t mind this, but some might.). The
thing that really gets me is the taste. It’s a minty, manufactured lip gloss
taste that I am not a fan of. So far it hasn’t stopped me from wearing the
gloss, but it’s something that definitely bothers me when I where it. As for the color, it’s gorgeous.
It’s too bad
it doesn’t last longer than it actually does. After I originally applied the
color to my lips, within five minutes that color had faded. And forget about
eating or drinking, which wipes the color right off. Overall, I love the color,
but do not like the taste, application, and longevity of this product.
The Marc Jacobs cosmetic line will be available in Sephora on August 9th, 2013. So if you’re
in Sephora, I would definitely say check out the eye shadows, because I really
do think that they are very good. All of the prices for the products are listed
