Marc Jacobs Beauty Haul

It's been a long week, so treat yourself! I said to myself as I watched the price in my John Lewis basket go up and up. 

One brand I have been waiting to try for a while is Marc Jacobs Beauty, and I've had my eye on two things in particular. The the Glow Stick and the Scandalust palette. I got the glow stick and held off from the eye shadow palette (regrets, guess what I will be buying next month) and I also got a few other bits too!

First things first: Mascara! 

I don't know what it is with me and mascara, but I always get hooked into buying a new one.

It's amazing for bottom lashes and really defines each lash, I also love the inspiration behind the mascara - that Marc watched his mother getting ready growing up and she would shave fibres from a black velvet ribbon to give the illusion she had thicker longer lashes.

Next up: Eyeliner

I bought two of the Highliner Gel Eye Crayons (colours Ro(Cocoa) & Blacquer) and oh my god. These have to be the longest wearing, creamiest eyeliners I've tried??

I think if you wear a lot of pencil/gel eyeliner, particularly in your water line or if you tight line often I would seriously recommend you go out and get one of these to try. So many eyeliners by different brands claim they are long wearing and then disappear or smudge within a matter of minutes, but the Highliner stays put and sets within 30 seconds of application

This eyeliner does not move, I did these swatches at approx 12pm and 5 hours later they look untouched despite me trying to rub them off with my hand and washing my hands various times. 

I want them all. 

And now for the pièce de résistance: Glow Stick in Spotlight

This is legit my favourite highlighter. IT'S STUNNING.

It's everything I need. The search is over. Do you get the message?

Yes, the packaging is strange (I love it). Yes, it does look like a stick deodrant. Yes, it does get dirty quickly even if you are only using your fingers or a brush to apply. Who cares?

It's a cream product that sits well on top of makeup, doesn't separate, it just brings everything together. It's a bit of gold and a bit of silver, and apparently has been created to look good on any skin tone. Its dewy and has this undeniable sheen which doesn't blind you at first sight.

LOVE.
