Marc Jacobs Beauty

This week’s pick for beauty is a luxury brand known for both its clothes and cosmetics. Marc Jacobs Beauty has products frequently featured in magazines and often recommended by make up artists. They have a vast line of products with everything from lipstick to nail polish to concealer that works wonders.

We were blown away by the long-lasting quality of the products we tried. Everything went on smoothly and stayed on for the entire day. Investing in quality beauty products, especially on the ones you wear everyday, is worth every penny.

LoveMarc Lip Gel

1. LoveMarc Lip Gel: This lip color is our absolute favorite this fall. We want to try every shade and every brand until we find the perfect fit. It’s hard to narrow it down when we keep falling for product after product. LoveMarc Lip Gel was no exception. It was smooth and kept our lips feeling moisturized all day.

Color options we like: Saboteur, Surrender Dorothy, Little Pretty, Voila! 

lust for lacquer

2. Lust for Lacquer Sheer Lip Gloss: A makeup artist recently recommended this to us so we just had to try it for ourselves. We are not huge fans of lip gloss (probably because we used it a little too frequently in the Smackers’ days) but this felt like a grown-up, fashionable version. It had a delicious flavor and did not feel sticky or too thick. We recommend opting for a color more matte when choosing. A glittery lip gloss can appear juvenile.

Color options we like: Heart-Shaped, Milkshake, Deeper, Lust for Life

O!Mega Lash

3. O!Mega Lash Volumizing Mascara: Mascara is a product that when you find the right one, you rarely switch to others. This product had a great brush that made applying it easy. It went on without clumps and did a good job of spreading the lashes, giving the appearance of thick, healthy lashes. Our only complaint was that didn’t hold the curl of the lashes for more than half the day, so if you curl your lashes, you may want to try something waterproof and stronger.

Kiss Pop Color

4. Kiss Pop Lip Color Stick: The first thing that made this product appealing to us was the packaging. We love the sleek look and unique shape of the product. It reminds us a lot of the Nars Velvet Matte Stick that we reviewed a couple weeks ago. It’s smooth and barely budges throughout the day.

Color options we like: Headliner, Smack, Electric Rose, Strawberry Red

Gel Highliner Pencil

5. Highliner Gel Crayon: This eyeliner was another recommendation and again, it didn’t disappoint. It went on easily and was not affected by eyeshadow underneath. It was thick and stayed put. There are many different colors that we advise you to play around with and try out. The classic brown and black are good for everyday use, but with pale grays and bright blues, you could really switch up your look.

Color options we like: Brown (Out), Blacquer, Luna (Tic), (Wave) Length
