Marc Jacobs Le Marc Lip Creme Lipsticks - Review + Lip Swatches

Hey everyone!

As soon as I opened the PR package containing the Marc Jacobs Le Marc Lip Creme Lipsticks* I knew I needed to do a blogpost and lip swatch video reviewing them!

I never actually properly took the time to look at these lipsticks in Sephora because at 36$CAN ($30US) they are not cheap! Now that I have had the chance to look (and try!) them I have to admit they all look beautiful!

The packaging is sleek, shiny and black... and wait for it... it's magnetic!

No more opening your purse to realize your lipstick exploded everywhere! But it does make it hard to take pictures of them all lined up :P

Georgie Girl: Cotton Candy Pink - it is the lightest shade in the collection. It has a little bit of white in it which emphasize any dryness or fine lines your lips may have!

Infamous: Soft Peony - warm medium tone pinky mauve shade! Would look great on so many different skin tones!

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang: Baked Rose - Muted Pinky Red that is easy to wear on a daily basis. Again it would look great on many different skin tones!'

Jolly Molly: Bright Bubblegum - It is a bright warm tone pink that will look great for the spring/summer!

Clara: Bold Rose - Bright mid tone pink that leans on the cool tone side. It looks like your lips are made of candies!

Je t'aime: Rum Raspberry - Muted brown red shade that makes it easy to wear red bold lips on a daily basis!

J'adore: Terra Cotta Blush - Brown lips have been all the hype lately and this one will be no exception. On medium to deep skin tones this warm brown shade will be a perfect neutral color!

Mahogany: Hot Chocolate - This rich chocolate color will look perfect on deep skin tones!

Marc Jacobs Le Marc Lip Creme Lipsticks (Bottom L-R): So Sofia, Core Cora, Oh Miley!, Goddess, Amazing, Rei of Light, Dashing and Miss Scarlet

Marc Jacobs Le Marc Lip Creme Lipsticks (R-L): So Sofia, Core Cora, Oh Miley!, Goddess, Amazing, Rei of Light, Dashing and Miss Scarlet

So Sofia: Electric Watermelon - As soon as I saw this color I knew it would be one of my favorites! Bright pinky coral shades like this are perfect for summer and looks gorgeous of everyone! It reminds me of Mac Relentlessly Red,

Core Cora: Brilliant Coral - This bright coral shade is still very wearable! If you have a cool skin tone and can never find a more orange shade that suits you, you need to try this one since it has a hint of pink still in it!

Oh Miley!: Strawberry Spice - Beautiful pinky red!

Goddess: Deep Maraschino - This cherry lipstick is a true red! If you can never find a red that works for you this one is the easiest to pull off!

Marc Jacobs Le Marc Lip Creme Lipsticks Lip Swatches: So Sofia, Core Cora, Oh Miley! and Goddess

Amazing: Candy Apple Red - Warm red with a hint of brown in it. It will work beautifully especially on warm skin tones!

Rei of Light: Toasted Brick - Brown red that will look the best on tan skin tones!

Dashing: Very Cherry - Dark cool tone red. I love this one and you will too especially if you have a cool undertone!

Miss Scarlet: Deep Ruby - Dark brown red. Warm skin tones especially tan to deep girls will love this!

Marc Jacobs Le Marc Lip Creme Lipsticks (L-R): Boy Gorgeous, Magenta, Blow and Scandal

Marc Jacobs Le Marc Lip Creme Lipsticks (R-L): Boy Gorgeous, Magenta, Blow and Scandal

Boy Gorgeous: Berry Rouge - Easily another one of my favorites this red berry shades will look perfect on everyone!

Magenta: Grape Sangria - This one reminds me of Mac Rebel but with a hint of a blue sheen to it. It's not a frost but it's not fully a cream finish like the other ones! It is a bit more sheer too.

Blow: Dark Berry Velvet - Hello vampy shade! If you like dark lipsticks this one is for you! It has a bit of a cool undertone and has a bit of berry to it.

Scandal: Intense Plum - Last but not least this purple lipstick is quite fun! The formula is unfortunately a bit more uneven but with a lip liner you can make it work.

REVIEW:

On average the Marc Jacobs Le Marc Lip Creme lipsticks last around 5-6 hours on my lips. They will resist drinking and light eating although they do transfer. After a full meal or eating anything oily I will feel the need to reapply .

You are left with a stain but it does feel drying at that point.

They have no scent or taste.

One more picture because... why not!

Too Faced Born This Way Foundation Review - Swatches

Hi there!

I was asked if I was interested in trying out the new Too Face Born This Way foundation and of course as any makeup addict I said yes!

Too Faced Born This Way Foundation : (L-R) Porcelain, Ivory, Vanilla, Nude, Warm Nude, Light Beige, Natural, Warm Beige, Sand, Golden, Honey and Caramel.

*The frost of the bottle can make it difficult to show what the color in the bottle looks like in direct light!*

When you have dry skin, full coverage foundations can be a nightmare - dry patches, feeling of wearing a mask - but this foundation is 100% the opposite!

June 15: This foundation has been available on the Too Faced website. 

July 15: It will be available in stores - Sephora

It is $39US, 52$CA for 1oz of product.

Too Face Born This Way - Nude (wet/dry) and Porcelain (wet/dry)

As you can see the colors tend to dry a shade darker. I personally can use Porcelain (which I choose to in my video and pictures here!) but Nude is also a great match as it has a cool undertone!

Too Faced Born This Way Foundation

Colors available for the Too Faced Born This Way foundation:

Porcelain - light neutral shade
Ivory - Fair with yellow undertone
Vanilla- Light with neutral-yellow undertone
Nude : Light with pink undertone
Warm Nude: Light-medium neutral
Light Beige light medium neutral to yellow undertone
Natural Beige: Medium with golden undertone
Warm Beige: Tan with golden undertone
Sand: Medium-Tan with yellow undertone
Golden: Tan with neutral pink undertone (red)
Honey:  Tan with neutral to golden undertone
Caramel: Tan-Deep neutral to red undertone

Too Faced Born This Way Foundation : (L-R) Porcelain, Ivory, Vanilla, Nude, Warm Nude, Light Beige, Natural, Warm Beige, Sand, Golden, Honey and Caramel.

Cons: Right away you can notice the range of colors is missing a few things. First off, there's not many cool tone foundation and there is clearly a need for a lighter shade with a cool undertone!
Porcelain has a neutral undertone and is darker than Ivory and would probably be between Nw15-20 in Mac - clearly not light enough!

Second, just as obvious there's a lack of shades for WOC! The only one that can work is the last one and it clearly won't work for everyone.

Considering it is a new release and Too Faced hasn't done many foundation we're hoping they will expand the range soon!

Too Faced Born This Way Foundation - Porcelain - Light Neutral

Pros: This foundation really impressed me. The packaging of pretty heavy frosty glass with the nice addition of gold looks beautiful! The fact that it has a pump wins some big points for me!

I've never experienced such a full coverage foundation that still feels lightweight and doesn't make my face looks dry! It lasted all day and looked even natural in natural sunlight! It could be due to the foundation containing Hyaluronic Acid and Coconut water.

Overall, if you can find a color in the range, I would recommend it if you're still looking for a natural medium to full coverage! I know I'm not disappointed with it - it actually makes me second guess myself about the Nars All Day luminous foundation (I'll have to try that again!).

Too Faced sent me the foundation to review. I was not compensated for this post. As always my opinions are my own and are honest :)
