Cosmetic Case of the Mondays

I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!  I’m so happy that I was able to go away (for the last time pre-baby, eek!) to PA to spend a nice relaxing weekend with Jared, my mom, and my grandparents!

While away, Marc Jacobs finally debuted his highly anticipated new beauty and makeup line at Sephora on Friday, congrats MJ!!  I’ve been reading about the new collection for a couple of months now and the wait has been killing me, I can’t wait to check it out in person!  Although the prices are a bit steep, I’m totally drooling over the packaging, which is totally adorbs.  Here are some of the items that I definitely want to try out…

Magic Marc’er Precision Pen: This has got to be the most gorg eyeliner I’ve ever seen as it resembles a calligraphy pen for drawing the finest lines and achieving perfect definition.  This waterproof liquid liner apparently is a “never-seen-before” shade that was developed in Japan to create the shiniest and blackest black on the market.  Talk about dedication!

LoveMarc – Lip Gel Lipstick: These “gellified” lipsticks are color-saturated, long-wearing, and offer a sleek shine and subtle vanilla scent, yum!  “Seduce Me”, which is a berry red, looks gorgeous especially with Fall right around the corner!

Lust For Lacquer Lip Vinyl Lip Gloss: These glosses come in Sheer and Full and are champagne-grape infused and include a plumping formula.  I’d have to see exactly how sheer the “Sheer” ones are since I normally prefer stronger color, but “Overprotected” does look like a gorgeous shimmering pastel pink.  As far as the “Full” ones, “Fame” looks like a beautiful raspberry red gloss.

Lash Lifter – Gel Volume Mascara: No surprise here that I’m aching to try the mascara in the line!  This one claims to be the blackest, shiniest mascara that promises lift, length, volume, and curl.  That’s quite the list!  Also, the innovative triangle brush design creates perfect lash separation with no clumping and perfect product deposit onto lashes.  Umm, sounds like heaven!

O!Mega Bronze – Perfect Tan Bronzer: This bronzer looks beautiful.  It’s a jumbo-size bronzing powder with a radiant-matte finish for the face and body.  It comes in just one supposedly universal shade, Tantric, and provides a natural, flawless glow.  While $49 is definitely pricey for a bronzer, since I’m a TOTAL sucker for bronzers, I at least want to test it out!  (Famous last words…)

Brow Tamer Grooming Gel: For someone who has the potential to heavy crazy brows, this product definitely raises mine up! This is a soft-holding gel formula that grooms, shapes, and holds your eyebrows in place all day long.  The innovative formula and caterpillar brush work together to define and lift your brows for a look that is polished, but never stiff.  Fun fact: this grooming gel was made-to-order for Marc himself, who considers brow shaping to be an essential step in his morning ritual.

Lip Lock Moisture Balm: This is a buttery, rich lip balm with SPF 18 that claims to lock in hydration may be the perfect thing for my ridiculously dry lips.  It provides a minty flavor and perhaps the name of the “color” will help you not get hung up on the price ($24) – Makeout.  Oh Marc…
