Makeup Review: Marc Jacobs Lovemarc Lip Gel

There are so many lipsticks on the market, whether they are high end or drugstore. Some are fabulous, there's the really good ones, some "meh"/does the job and of course the "uhh no!" ones. I categorize this lipstick as one of the really good to fabulous ones.

Marc Jacobs beauty launched August 2013.  Established previously in the fashion world as a well known fashion designer, and among many other things he was the creative director for Louis Vuitton at one point before launching his own independent lines.

Marc Jacobs style is to create clean & simple styles with sophistication, and he certainly carried that onto his beauty line. The Lovemarc Lip Gel showcases his classic sleek black & silver magnetic casing. I personally like magnetic cases so that you don't have to worry if you snapped the lid back on. I know that's a small detail but details do matter ;) 
The lipstick itself is a gelled formula which combines creaminess with silkiness, pure pigments and is long wearing. There's also plumping pigments in it to increase volume & reduce the signs of aging for your lips. Special ingredients wise, this formula has myrrh extract and vitamin E for anti aging & monoi butter (cream made from the Tiare flower) for richness and moisturization.

In my point of view, for lipsticks to be a 'cut above' these days it has to offer key ingredients that assist in making the skin better in some way. A little bit goes a long way, so even if its just lipstick which you may not even wear all day but only for a limited amount of time, there has to be an element in the formula that gives you a little extra something. 

I found this lipstick formula to be hydrating and very well pigmented delivering creamy colour payoff. It's not waxy like traditional lipsticks, and also has a light vanilla scent to it. It comes in 16 brilliant pigmented shades, from neutrals, pinks, reds, deep reds & a purple one. 

Marc Jacobs Lovemarc Lip Gel in "Showstopper"

Lovemarc Lip Gel lipstick retails for $30 USD on http://www.marcjacobsbeauty.com/product/lovemarc-lip-gel.do this is the best option. There's what I'm assuming is a limited time promotion on their site for a trio of your favourite shades for $70. Use code "Lipkit" at checkout :)

On a side note, I did find a Sephora page on google that says it sells the Lovemarc Lip Gel's however it is out of stock at the moment and it only listed 4 colours, each $30 USD also. The Lovemarc Lip Gel's do not show up as products available in Sephora :S Amazon would carry it, but they do mark up the prices so if you feel like paying more go ahead, but the Marc Jacobs site is easier :) 

I recommend this lipstick to those who would like a high end lip colour that is long wearing with good pigmentation, won't dry out your lips and has those extra ingredients to better your skin :) Those with dryer lips will benefit much more from this formula :)

Enjoy!! and let me know what your thoughts were & if you have any further questions feel free to comment or email me!
