Review: Marc Jacobs Beauty- Le Marc Liquid Lip Crème in Truth or Bare!

#LeMarc Liquid Lip Crème

Marc Jacobs is a brand I haven't tried much because it's pretty expensive. I own one of their Le Marc Lip Crème in Willful and I love it! Influenster chose me for their complimentary Marc Jacobs Le Marc Liquid Liquid Lip Crème Vox Box and I was so excited since the lipstick I tried was so nicely formulated! I received the color Truth Or Bare which is such a gorgeous dusty pink shade. To my surprise I also received the Marc Jacobs Beauty Poutliner Longwear Lip Pencil in Primrose which I wore under Truth or Bare. They were a match made in makeup heaven!

Let's get into some basic info before we start the review. The Le Marc Liquid Liquid Lip Crèmes retail for $28 and there's a total of 6 shades, all pretty neutral. They claim to be hydrating, longwearing and full coverage. I would definetely agree with all three claims. The formula looks and feels amazing! It's a creamy lacquer formula with amazing coverage that lasts so well! I wore it for about 5 hours and it didnt budge at all. It feels so moisturizing which is so refreshing after wearing matte lips for a while. It has a satin finish which in my opinion made my lips look fuller!

I would recommend to try one of these! It's pricey but you can put it on your loves list and wait for the next Sephora sale. The packaging feels luxurious and the formula is amazing so it might be worth a splurge! ;-)

Thanks +Influenster and +Marc Jacobs for sending me these products free for review! #LeMarc Liquid Lip Crème #Contest

Review: MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Rouge Lipsticks!

#MYARTISTROUGE 

I must say... Make Up For Ever came through when they released their Artist Rouge Lipstick line! If you haven't checked Sephora you're missing out on some pretty cool colors plus some beautiful neutrals. I had added a few of the shades to my loves list when I received an email from Influenster confirming that they were going to send me three shades for review! Excited is an understatement! Even though I received the Make Up For Ever VoxBox for free for review all opinions are my own.

Lets talk packaging first! These retail for $22 which reflects in the packaging because it has a nice weight to it and awesome attention to detail! I was sent three shades, a nice variety I must add ;-) and they're all in the Satin finish. The formula is incredible when it comes to the color payoff. You truly need one swipe to get the color payoff you see below! I personally feel like it's a thicker formulated lipstick, by that I mean that I can feel it on my lips which I don't prefer but it helps with the longevity. It also has a somewhat strong chemical scent so if you're sensitive to smells it may get to you. Swatches shall we? 

*C502- a taupe violet, very cool color but does make my teeth look yellow (yikes!)

*C404- passion red, super gorgeous and bright, love it!

*C211- rose wood, such a pretty rose-mauve, my favorite out of the bunch!

Bottom line: I give the the line two thumbs up because the color selection is crazy + cool! I would prefer for them to be unscented but I'm super happy with the shades I was sent for review. Definitely check them out if you want a lipstick that's pigmented and long wearing! :-)

Review: Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquid Lip Color!

#VividMatte

Influenster sent me two of the Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquid Lip Colors for review so that's exactly what I'm doing to day! :-) They retail for about $8 at most drugstores and there's a total of 10 shades in the line. I've worn Nude Flush and must say this formula is really different from what I was expecting.
Maybelline claims that it's a creamy formula with a velvety finish once dry. It's full color coverage with an intense, rich look. I definetely agree with the creamy formula claim. The finish is questionable because I don't feel like it actually dries down...ever! So although it's comfortable since it's not drying out your lips, it becomes messy and transfers! Maybelline does recommend to apply thin layers for a better outcome. Also, if you want an ultra-matte finish to blot with a tissue. I guess it's customizable but there's other liquid lipsticks that dry down and last without having to do all the extra things.

The two colors I received are super pretty! Rebel Red is my favorite because the tone it's pretty darn perfect. The swatches above are right after application. They have a strong slightly floral scent (reminds me of the elixirs) that lingers for a bit but not all day. 

Here's what Nude Flush looks like after blotting it with tissue. It does make it more matte but it takes away from the color payoff and they just don't end up lasting. 

Bottom line: The colors in the line are really pretty but the formula is not my favorite. For how vivid most colors in the line are the formula doesn't work because it transfers and it's not really matte. It's definetely a satin finish so if you're looking for that this product would be perfect! :-)
