I got the Jem liquid lipsticks. I'm pretty happy with them initially. All the colors are wearable. The lightest shade is super shimmery and it's actually not a stain. I guess it's supposed to serve as a topcoat if you want to jazz up the other stains. At first, I was concerned that these were just glosses b/c it took a long time to dry, but putting them on my lips, they are actually stains. They didn't take nearly as long to dry on my lips as they did on my hands. Go figure. Also, it transfers more from my hand than from my lips. When I did a little tissue test only the faintest trace came off my lips. So, again, I am happy with this set and the darkest shade is to die for. Oh and the smell...I can't place it. It's not entirely pleasant, but not a dealbreaker. It's like a fruity, but chemical type smell. Like, they tried to make it nice, but gave up. At least I can't smell it at all when it's on my lips.

That one at the bottom looks amazing!!! I wonder if these are close to any of Sephora's current line of creme lip stains. I'd hate to buy this set and wind up with a bunch of dupes lol. I like the gloss as well even though I'd probably never wear it. I'm getting about 3 of these to divvy up as gifts for my teenage cousins. I might keep one of the purple ones for myself though.

The purple is close to Sephora's #16. #16 is a bit darker and metallic, though. They're close enough, I think, that you can do without.

Ah okay. Thanks for letting me know! You can't beat these for the price though. $16 for 5 of them is really good!

The pigmentation looks great!!!! I'm glad you like them, and the scent didn't offend your 'scentabilities.'

pbi: they have corrected the price online - the price for the 5-item set it $25. Apparently the single lipstick is $16 (this is USD, I forget you don't live here, so it might be different).

Damn! I knew that was too good to be true. I was also wondering what kind of crack they were on listing the lipstick for $25. This is what I get for waiting lol. I shop on the US site so your prices are mine.

Meddy, you look gorgeous, RBF and all. (I have RBF too).

Here is a pic from my Sephora makeover, I think she did a good job and I was easily able to reproduce the look myself. I got some great tips on how to contour.

I'm going to return it for now since I already have a white loose powder. Once I use up my mufe one I may buy it again. There's just way too may holiday things I want at the moment to justify the $25 on another powder. You still got me thinking about the big MJ palette!
Click to expand...
The MJ palette is a great value because the 7 pans palettes are $59 and you get 13 more shadows for $40 more. I found a site with a review and swatches on it. http://beatfacefridayy.com/2015/09/12/swatches-marc-jacobs-beauty-free-spirit-eyeshadow-palette-holiday-2015-and/ I still like the UD Vice palette though. Haha. I'm a UD junkie!

My first impression of the Jem lip set is meh. They smell like those old school jumbo fruity markers! Breathe too close and its strong permanent marker..Lightly whiff swatches and it's somewhat fruity lol. Can't decide if it's keep worthy or not.

That's exactly what it smells like. I forgot all about those things. I used to love them. :lol: and EL O EL at a predictable sequence in this thread.

That's too bad---I'm not crazy about fruity scented lip products. Bite Beauty, Clementine comes to mind
