MARC JACOBS Beauty: Highliner, Style Eye-Con No.3, Enamored & LOVEMARC Lip Gel

MARC JACOBS BEAUTY: 
Showing Love to PANTONE'S "Radiant Orchid"
Marc Jacobs Beauty
I love MARC JACOBS: fashion, bags, accessories, heck I even grew my LV collection to well over 20 pieces, with my obsession: shoes, accessories, agenda, BAGS, you name it! This was well before his days at Louis Vuitton (1997-2013) but during his tenure at LV, I grew to respect and admire his ideas and passion for fashion even more. Though Louis Vuitton's signature monogram canvas is centuries old, but Marc Jacob definitely helped bring it back!


It was about time I reviewed his beauty line. What better way than to check out Marc Jacobs Beauty, in PANTONE'S 2014 Color of The Year: RADIANT ORCHID, not to mention my favorite color? As you know, MARC JACOBS BEAUTY is a 120 product line, that launched last summer August 9th and are sold exclusively at SEPHORA and select Marc Jacobs Stores. Like his fashion, Marc's creativity is the heart of his makeup vision inspires you to push the boundaries: youth, confidence and experimentation! MARC defines beauty as "IMPERFECTLY PERFECT!" Reps sent me five goodies to review: 


HIGHLINER GEL CRAYON ($25) - a waterproof pencil eyeliner that applies smooth, with rich pigment. Available in BLACQUER and 5 unique shades. 
HIGHLINER GEL CRAYON in "JAZZ(BERRY)" and "TH(INK)" 
LOVEMARC Lip Gel ($30) Available in 16 shades named after MARC'S favorite movies! A highly pigmented, gellified lipstick with sleek hydrating shine. Plumps with 3D optical volumizers. My lips were soft (and kissable) and the shade lasted without caking or flaking.

LOVEMARC Lip Gel in "Seduce Me"

ENAMORED Hi-Shine Lacquer ($18) Available in 24 shades, a superior nail polish with amazing shine! Gives you that "plasticized, wet-look" that mirrors 30 coats of polish. No, it's not gel, but it sure looks like it. I love the magnetic closure (snaps closed practically on its own.) I rocked ENAMORED back when I visited "Bed of Nails Nail Bar in Harlem (see review here on BeautyStat: Bed Of Nails-Marc-Jacobs-lacquer ) 
ENAMORED in "OUI"
STYLE EYE-CON NO.3 ($42) A 3-shade, highly pigmented shadow palette that applies creamy and has extreme staying power. Inspired by the Spirit of "The Girl." (Style Eye-Con is also available in No.7 for $59) The one I got is called "The Rebel" and comes in a cute carrying pouch, with a shadow applicator.


Style Eye-Con No.3 in "The Rebel" 


Looks like I have all the "Radiant Orchid" to keep me satisfied and radiant, doesn't it? To view the entire MARC JACOBS BEAUTY collection, visit marcjacobsbeauty.com, select Marc Jacobs stores, www.Sephora.com and SEPHORA Stores.
