Marc Jacobs Beauty

[MaitaiFluff]

I'm getting my first Marc Jacobs haul delivered tomorrow. Since this collection is a little on the spendy side (and a Sephora exclusive so no discount for me) I asked my boyfriend to buy me a few things for our anniversary. I let him pick out the colours. So far, just about everything that I've seen on this thread has been gorgeous, so I'm getting super excited.

I feel like a want to try MJ Genius Gel foundation but I go back and forth about it. I already have Ysl touche eclat illuminating foundation and Chanel perfection lumiere plus Mac and some other brands. Don't know if it's a must have and I'm also to afraid to ask for a sample at Sephora. Waiting for someone to swatch the foundations all together like Karla Sugar used to do.

I miss those swatches. They were so helpful. Not too many bloggers swatch foundation ranges.

^^Karla Sugar isn't around anymore? (

Her website is still up, but she hasn't updated since May. (She blogged for Neiman Marcus for a while, but she doesn't now.) I definitely miss her. Her foundation swatches were a godsend, IMO. I can't think of many others, if any, who swatch the full range of foundations.

My jaw dropped! I need this in my life ASAP!! Edit: I just realized this isn't a great value... Boo! They value the lacquer case at $100?? Hmmm

Maybe the red lipstick case was expensive to make

Here's a review of the holiday powder. It's actually quite understated:

Maybe I was feeling especially giddy opening holiday items, but the overspray kind of looked like real sequins in real life. At a glance anyway. It's a gorgeous piece.

I was worried that it would be too glittery but I'm glad that it's just an overspray. So pretty!

If you're looking for a somewhat better deal, the "sampler kit" with a shadow trio, lip gloss, eye liner, mascara and perfume sample looks like a better option. The shadow trio is very holiday-like.

I also just noticed that there are sparkly cream shadows up that I hadn't noticed before. I have allergic reactions to almost all cream shadows, so I doubt these will be for me, but I'm sure some might be interested in them...

On a whim, I picked up The Glam shadow trio this week. At first, I had thought it would be too warm for me, but having worn it a couple of times, I really love it. I actually think that I'm going to apply myself to collecting all the 3-shadow palettes, because I can see ways in which I could work with all of them. Ironically, for me, the large yellow-beige shade in The Glam was what sold me on it. I have literally never seen a shade like it. It's a lovely, silky matte that might work for darker skin tones as a highlight shade, but on me is just perfect over the lid. It's deep enough that it adds noticeable colour, but the yellow tone really brightens my eyes. It's a very warm-toned palette, but unless you're extremely cool-toned, I think that it would work well for you.

Found a shot of a new palette coming out for the holidays! http://instagram.com/p/sQBnDDzKM1/ Looks like a muted version of The Siren, sort of. Also, has anyone else noticed that a few new items have been creeping into the permanent collection at Sephora? There's a new 3-palette and a new 7-palette, plus a new blush. Haven't heard anything about them. The 3-pan is taupe... Heaven help me.

Pretty. Looks like there is an eyeliner set too.

Anyone got the Dreamer 212 shadow Palette! I want to get that one but would love to hear some thoughts before taking the leap! Thanks!
