Le Marc Liquid Lip Creme

Hi friends! Long time, no write!

Recently, my friends at Influenster and Marc Jacobs Beauty sent me a complimentary Le Marc Liquid Lip Creme to try. I received it in the shade “Fawn Over Me,” which is described as a peach nude.

I personally was not a fan of this shade. It was a little too similar to my own lip color, so while described as a nude, I felt like it didn’t add anything to my look. In fact, I felt like it was more beige than peach, which was a bit disappointing. The formula was also a little sticky for my taste, more of a gloss than a liquid lip creme. While I’ll definitely keep this product in my bag, I think I would use it more if I had a rosier shade.

Have you tried the Le Marc Liquid Lip Creme? What do you think of it?

My 2016 Beauty Wishlist

I’ve decided that I want this year to be the year I get my shit together and really master my makeup. Over the past two years, I’ve slowly built up my collection, but there still are plenty of products I’d love to have and tons of skills I still need to master (hello, contouring). These are some of the products I’m hoping to add to my collection in 2016.

The first product on my wishlist is the Tartelette In Bloom Clay Eyeshadow Palette. I own one Tarte palette that I use almost daily and I’m in love with it, which is why I’d love to add this palette to my collection. The colors in this palette are great neutrals and pinks, which I think would complement the eyeshadows that I already own.

The next product I want to get in 2016 is the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream Set #3. The colors featured in this set are Antwerp, San Paulo, and Amsterdam. I recently bought my friend Brianna one of the NYX sets and she’s loving them, so I want to try them myself. I mainly wear darker lipsticks, so I want to expand to include some brighter/softer lip colors to my collection.

I am dying for Dita Von Teese’s MAC Lipstick. It’s a matte tomato red, which I think would be a really fun and sexy shade to add to my lip collection. I’m also really looking forward to Ariana Grande’s collaboration with MAC Viva Glam – I plan on buying the whole collection when it comes out.

Like I said earlier, I really want to learn how to contour. I have heard amazing things about Kat Von D’s Shade + Light Contour Palette, so I would love to give it a try. Side note: if anyone knows of a good contouring tutorial for beginners, let me know! I literally know nothing about it, haha.

I’m also looking to expand my brush collection this year. I absolutely love all my Real Techniques brushes, which is why I want to get some more from them. The Core Collection from them features a detailer brush, a pointed foundation brush, a buffing brush, and a contour brush. I think these would make great additions to my makeup routine and I’m really looking forward to buying them.

I absolutely love Marc Jacobs perfumes. Dot has always been my favorite – I probably spray it on myself every time I got to Macy’s – so this is the year I am buying it. If I have the time after my internship, I might actually run out and pick it up this week!
