I'm loving Sephora's flash shipping. I got my first two Dolce & Gabbana items today, along with my second
Algenist VIB/VIBR Gift Trio. The blush is much more vibrant than my lousy iPad camera has captured. Both the
blush, Luminous Cheek Colour, Raspberry 45 and the Intense Colour Lipgloss, Bouganville 105 are just
gorgeous.

That blush is so darn pretty. The gloss looks like it'll go well with it too.

Has anyone tried the Marc Jacobs nail lacquer? How does the formula perform compared to Essie and other cheaper brands?
I love their nail polishes! I only have four but they all perform very well. I only had to return one of the foiled ones bc it didn't even last an hour Lol
I'm in the middle shade, and I freakin' love this palette! The finish is beautiful and it blends like a dayum dream!
They blend so beautifully!

I love his nail lacquer as well! I'm planning a big MJ Beauty haul for Chic Week in April. I want to get one of the instamarc contour powders, try the blush and poutliners, maybe the new lipsticks as well, and definitely pick up more of his brushes. I hope he comes out with shadow brushes soon!

I'm glad the foundation worked for you! Unfortunately it didn't work for me and I tried for months to make it work. I could get it to look nice on initial application but after two hours it would practically disintegrate off my face. I'm grateful I bought the foundation 1 brush though. I love it and think it is totally worth the price, very soft, no shedding and blends like a dream. I have the blush brush as well and it works perfectly for me for me but I know it has more mixed reviews. I think there must have been a bad batch of them or something.

I have had terrible experiences with liquid foundations, most of them oxidize horrifically on me. The genius gel is the FIRST foundation I've tried that has not, and lasts a solid 7 hrs on my skin. I like the light to medium coverage because it allows my freckles to show! I'm planning a haul as well for April! Some more MJ also YSL, Dior and Peter Thomas Roth! I'm going to give his brushes a try during the sale, they are gorgeous :) it would be nice to see some eyeshadow brushes! Something tells me he will...I was going to hold off, but the polishes are in my cart and I'm about to check out #CAN'T WAIT :p Thanks for the advice hun, it is greatly appreciated :heart: P.S you're going to LOVE the #instamarc powders!

How do you like the MJ contour powder?
i have it in 60, darkest shade, it's UNREAL, i could sit with the powder all day and night just to swatch as it truly feels like silk - i have tried a bunch of the contour kits and this takes the cake by MILES!

it blends like a dream, soft + creamy really a high end perfect powder - got soon many compliments wearing it, i'm a mom who is running with my head cut off ½ the time so not used to compliments! ha!

on some other board, people were speaking of contours and that is must be gray, NO! unless you are shooting a movie or walking the runway for chanel (do you recall the look they did with notorious a few years back?) no one needs gray! we need cool toned shades, even slightly warm ones can work to create a shadow

i can not think of any powder i like more.....the color is perfect + i love the peach shade and it works great!

i have been eyeballing the kevin aucoin book, was told it's rather small but i looked up highlight powder size on stand alone and it was like .3 less i think - since i would have purchased star light on it's own, for $15 more makes more sense to get the book along with the infamous candle light and contours.........hmmmm.....

the kat von d one is cool too, of all of them it has most versatility (esp for non m/u artist, yunno?) as you can use as shadows or anything you wish! but i would still rather have the MJ even though 2 shades as it is like buttah!

It's weird seeing all of those dead cells fall away isn't it? Wait until you see what it does for your face. I used it on my lips too & OMG. I may never use my sugar
scrub again!!

Yes I am having a new one shipped from Sephora and then I am going to mail back the broken one. The sad thing about the points is I redeemed the 500 point perk before the rougeskin code came around so I already wasted 500 points on it but happy to have more with just a coupon code :)

GREAT!!!

That's too bad about your 500 points, but truthfully, if you had to use them on anything the Algenist is a good perk. I'm glad you got the second one free!!!

You nailed my sentiments to a T!!! IMO, the MJ contour palette beats every other contour product that I have ever used!

So I bought the Marc Jacobs Omega bronzer, the #instamarc contour powder and the genius gel foundation! I have been using them for a week now and I LOVE THEM! I read some horrible reviews about the foundation, but it works well with my body chemistry! QUESTION: Are his brushes worth the price point? I'm considering getting the shape brush and the giant fluffy brush...
I'm so jelly, I want that bronzer :p I have so many tho.. xD
Bronzer I do always finish tho, I will buy it at the sale in April. What's your skin type? I've been wondering about the foundation. Is that the one that has a fragrance? I think the brushes are great and totally worth it. Especially the foundation brush
