Face of the Day ft. Marc Jacobs Beauty

by - 21 August

I'm slowly rekindling my relationship with makeup (as in, I'm actually wearing it instead of just buying it), and I wanted to share my thoughts on the products I'm using. Seeing as this site began as a beauty blog, I thought I'd take a step back and actually do a post on something makeup related.This look isn't from today, but I'm basically wearing the same look, so let's go with it.



I was extra excited when I found out that Marc Jacobs was releasing a beauty line. His bags are gorgeous, so why wouldn't his makeup be just as amazing? While I do love some of the things I picked up, I was generally underwhelmed by the products I've tried.












Face:


Genius Gel 84 Cocoa Deep


Remedy Concealer Past Curfew


Shameless Bold Blush Tantalizing





Eyes:


Style Eye-Con No.3 The Glam


NARS Galapagos


Lash Lifter


BB Longwear gel e/l


Anastasia Brow Fix





Lips:


Urban Decay Venom





Genius Gel ($48): I really like the finish and the texture. Little to no transfer or
fading as well. I applied with The Face brush and got good (but light)
coverage with one pump. Not HG, but I'm happy to add it to my
collection.



Remedy Concealer ($39): The color selection sucks, in my opinion, but
I experienced no creasing all day, so that's good. Really great
coverage, and the cooling tip is a nice touch. I'll finish my pen, but I
won't repurchase.



Shameless Bold Blush ($30): Quite pigmented, and I like the
luminous sheen. However, I think there are better blushes out there,and
I'm happy I only purchased one.



Style Eye-con ($42): Nice pigmentation
and blendability, but I don't like his concept with these. I won't use
the lightest color in any of these trios because they don't look good on
me. Seems like a waste of money. Won't repurchase.



Lash Lifter ($26): Total meh for me, but ymmv. My lashes suck, and I need Jesus in a bottle for them to look decent.



I have a separate review coming up for the lip products I picked up, and of course, more polish swatches.

  2. Thanks, I kinda missed it. His stuff is pretty pricey but priced lower than I expected. I think that's how I justified buying so much, lol.
