Marc Jacobs: Style Eye-Con No. 7 Plush Eyeshadow ( #212 The Dreamer Palette)

This is my Second Marc Jacobs eyeshadow palette, I love the first one I got so I decided to get another one more. I had done a review with swatches on the first palette which I will link below if you would like to check out.

• The Dreamer #1 - A creamy soft cream shade with matte finish.

• The Dreamer #2 - A frosty mid-tone soft gold.

• The Dreamer #3 - A frosty champagne shade.

• The Dreamer #4 - A very dark yet neutral brown with a matte finish.

• The Dreamer #5 - A peachy orange colour with a matte finish.

• The Dreamer #6 - A rosy copper shade with a frosty finish.

• The Dreamer #7 - A frosty very yellow gold.

Marc Jacobs: Style Eye-Con No. 7 Plush Eyeshadow ( #202 The Dreamer Palette) (SGD $90)
A sleek and skinny design of seven harmonized eyeshadows palette of shimmery metallics, buttery mattes, and lustrous sheens are made with advanced pigments that allow true, instant color payoff, and plush performance with the longest wear. Besides the dark brown that is slightly dry and slightly powdery to the touch, there isn't anything bad. But no worries it is still fairly easy to blend.

Their palettes are great if you are wanting to splurge on a luxury eyeshadow palette.

Happy weekend!! 

Marc Jacobs: Magic Marc'er: Precision Pen Eyeliner

My final makeup item I got from the Marc Jacobs beauty line is their Magic Marc'er: Precision Pen Eyeliner, never ever thought of getting a eyeliner pen from a luxury brand at all but the sales assistant was so convincing that it was really good. (Anybody that falls into the trap like me?!)

I never believe or ever can justified getting an expensive eyeliner which will dry up pretty soon and I'm always happy with my cheap eyeliners which get the job done as well as the expensive ones. This is my first ever luxury liquid eyeliner pen, and the packaging does look a little bit like a Mont Blanc Pen.

I've always struggle to get a perfect winged-liner look, even as a makeup artist it has never been easy for me. I always has a problem at drawing lines due to my naturally shaky hands, even went to a doctor for that but there is nothing that can solve the problem for me and I just need to deal with it.

It's like god-send when the liquid eyeliner pen was invented and was even better that I found a great one like this Magic Marc'er: Precision Pen Eyeliner. Its just an eyeliner and its an over-price eyeliner! I never think I would love it so much too. And here is what I think about it:

Marc Jacobs: Magic Marc'er: Precision Pen Eyeliner (SGD $39) has a felt tip applicator that is fairly stiff and the tip of the applicator is very thin which is great at drawing precise lines. The ink is incredibly black, flows really nicely to the tip so you will have a lot of control which will make your application for both thick and thin lines much easier. The formula is quite wet but after a few seconds it sets it will not budge. It is waterproof and will stay pristine day to night and can only be remove with a water-proof makeup remover. Glides on smoothly without any skips and the finish does have a bit of shine to it. This pen is up for any task, a dramatic cat-eyed effect to a natural-looking line.

P.S. sorry for this blurry photo.

It is on the expensive side but I've countless of cheaper versions that the performance doesn't compare. Sometimes we just have to spend more to get a better quality product. I hope it can last a while for that hefty price tag. But still looking on the bright side that I can find a cheaper version soon.

What do you gals/guys think? Any Cheaper alternatives that you could recommend? Or do you love the Marc Jacobs: Magic Marc'er: Precision Pen Eyeliner as much as I do?

Marc Jacobs: Lust For Lacquer Lip Vinyl (#210 Boom Boom)

Hi my lovely ladies, here is my installment of another review from Marc Jacobs beauty line and this time is on their Lust For Lacquer Lip Vinyl. This is a colour-drenched, champagne-infused and plumping formula. #210 Boom Boom is a full-coverage lip gloss that I chose to get and they are decorated with a black logo and features a pointed applicator for a more precise application which is different from the sheer formula.

Marc Jacobs: Lust For Lacquer Lip Vinyl (#210 Boom Boom) (SGD $39) is a full coverage gloss with an insane pigmentation, the coverage is amazing and is extremely glossy too. The formula is not too thick nor too thin, it feels extremely comfortable on. There is a cooling sensation like a minty-fresh which last for quite a while at least a few minutes and it doesn't feel sticky on. It has a very high-shine that gives your lips a very plump look. #210 Boom Boom is a fuchsia with a blue-purple sheen, it does contains micro blue and pink shimmers.

There is one thing you got to beware of,  that is you need to line your lips to prevent bleeding and other then that is really nothing negative about it. It just applies evenly, the lasting power was normal just like any other lip gloss out there.

It is a very beautiful colour and I love the minty-fresh feeling it gave my lips. Would I repurchase? I would if there isn't so many other different brands for me to chose from. The only thing that is comparable is the price. It is cheaper then other luxury brands out there. Unless I really fall in love with the colour and it's unique enough maybe it's justifiable to get another one.

What do you think? I love to hear your comments about it. Please leave your comment down.

Have a great weekend! XOXO!

Marc Jacobs: Style Eye-Con No. 7 Plush Eyeshadow ( #202 The Tease Palette)

Marc Jacobs beauty line really made me very pump up, flustered and way to excited. There are still 2 more eyeshadow palettes I want (#204-The Starlet & The Shoe Gazer from their trios palette). In the end I decided I should get the palette with my favourite colours which is #202-The Tease palette.

I've not try a lot of luxury brand eyeshadows besides Dior palettes which I love, I am happy and glad that I'm stepping out of my comfort price zone to try this palette here. The packaging is pretty slim, sleek, chic, and it comes with a black cloth case and a single sponge-tip applicator which is stuck at the bottom of the casing with I rather they completely not include it.

Anyway most luxury brands packaging always look incredible, I'm a sucker when it comes to packaging and always drawn to the packaging first before I swatch anything on my hands. I've got pretty high expectations since I saw the review on Temptalia, even though #202-The Tease was rated at 8.5/10 lower then #204-The Starlet at 9.5/10.  So let us get on to:

Marc Jacobs: Style Eye-Con No. 7 Plush Eyeshadow ( #202 The Tease Palette) (SGD $81) contains 7 shadows which the colours selection work really well together. The colour payoff is excellent and they are extremely easy to blend. The texture is a bit of a mixture, from left on the picture below the first 5 shades are creamy and buttery, the last two shades are a bit more powdery (Don't need to worry they are still very easy to blend and I don't have a problem with fall-outs).

• The Tease #1 - A cool-toned medium-dark purple with a slightly shimmery finish.

• The Tease #2 - A muted cool-toned grey with purple undertones.

• The Tease #3 - A pale pastel pink.

• The Tease #4 - A pale muted peach with a soft golden sheen.

• The Tease #5 - A light-medium pink with yellow undertones and frosty finish.

• The Tease #6 - A fuchsia-magenta matte colour with micro pink shimmers that doesn't show up when applied on the skin.

• The Tease #7 - A warm-toned burgundy with red and violet micro-shimmers.

Overall I love their shadows and I'm willing to splurge, although I love their sleek-chic packaging it just seems not weighty enough compare to the rest of the luxury brands out there. That actually makes it feel a bit cheap.

Never the less I still like the formula enough for me to splurge on another 1 or maybe 2 palettes soon *heehee*. Have you tried them yet? Or is there any other luxury brands of eyeshadows that you prefer? I would love to hear your thoughts.
