Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, you will have noticed that Marc Jacobs Beauty has launched at Harrods. The range is quite extensive (the glosses definitely get my vote) and if you’re looking for a place to begin, so far I’m really impressed with the mascara which I haven’t tried before and the New Nudes Sheer Gel lipsticks.
The texture is very smooth and creamy and the finish gives a moisture filled sheen – pigment is good but not a full saturation. When they’re on the lip they feel almost balmy so they’re super comfortable and they have a very light vanilla scent. Application is literally a glide so the ‘gel’ part works.
Shades I have from bottom to top are: Moody Margot, Understudy and Anais, with the top swatch being the O!Mega Bronzer in the main picture. They’re £24 each HERE.

The Velvet Noir Major Volume Mascara is fabulous if you like a very full and black lash fringe – it’s more volumising than defining so if you prefer a very spiky lash look with lots of separation, it’s not for you. There is absolutely no doubt that my lashes look double the size! I don’t think it’s too expensive either at £20 HERE when you compare to Tom Ford at £35, who I think is Marc Jacobs Beauty’s nearest rival.
O!Mega Bronzer is HUGE! At least the size of small saucer so if you need a bronzer for on the go this isnt it, but I like the fact that it’s natural looking on the skin, very finely milled and not ‘scary bronze’! The shade I have is Tantric, and it’s £33 HERE.

I agree with you about the Marc Jacobs mascara — it’s lovely. I’ve tried other ‘thickening’ ones before and they just go clumpy — at least with this one some separation is possible along with the thickening. And not difficult to get off either. So that’s one purchase you made me do, Jane, except that I bought two, one for my daughter! And now I’m expecting a parcel from Fresh (of whom I’d never heard before). That’s it for this month, thank you all the same! 🙂
Oh Ann.. I really hope you enjoy Fresh.. please do let me know x
I’m absolutely sure I will. The description you gave as well as the description on the website were delightful. Thank you.
I do not like anything on the lips nude tones.
I ordered the bronzer from Sephora about a year ago. It really is a good bronzer. The only down side is that it looks domed, but it’s actually hollow underneath & mine smashed after about 3 months & it just sits on my dressing table!!
I love the Marc Jacobs Nudes Sheer Gel lipsticks. My favorite, most frequently used is Anais. I’m actually on my second tube.
I’ve never heard of gel lipsticks! I love these colors! I wanna try!!

I got the Marc Jacobs Lip Creme in So Rouge as part of my Sephora VIB Rouge welcome package and I’m practically hooked on the formula. I’m seriously considering splurging on a lipstick from them for my birthday. These nudes look intriguing. I’m not a big nude lipstick girl, but Understudy looks like the kind of rosy nude I’ll wear on my (rare) no-makeup-makeup days.
