Marc Jacobs glosses are definitely my happy place! The new summer shades haven’t quite made it on-line yet (hello… don’t you know we’re having an amazing summer for a change – we need colour right now!) but if you have a sunny day gloss craving, I really do rate these. And, compared to some prices I’ve been seeing lately for lip products, £22 doesn’t even seem too off the scale. The formula has a minty kick (annoying if like me you don’t really like minty lips) and they’re half way between an old fashioned gloopy gloss and the new breed of featherweight, can’t feel it on your lips textures.
From top to bottom: Rio, Cherry Moon and Raspberry Beret (these shades have launched in the US).
Again, top to bottom: Rah Rah, Call Me and Want Me? I’ve got to say that Call Me is one of the most unappealing lip colours I’ve come across in a very long time as far as swatching is concerned. BUT, miraculously, it’s more of a vibrant almost orange shade on the lip that looks absolutely lovely, especially if your tone has warmed for summer or you have an olive to dark skin tone naturally.
Similar to this
So, swatches as follows from bottom to top: Want Me?, Raspberry Beret, Rah Rah, Rio, Cherry Moon and Call Me. I love that Rio, Want Me and Rah Rah have a milky finish with a 60s vibe minus the extreme pastel flatness.

I bought one of the new shades last week! In John Lewis Oxford Street. It was Raspberry Beret, which is gorgeous. I’ve been loving these slightly pinky-purple shades lately that hover somewhere between rose/berry, I think it’s an unexpected bright for the summer and not so blue that it’s unwearable. Actually the SA was pleasantly surprised I bought a brighter colour. He said people was mainly buying the brown colours and it was nice to see someone going for a “happy” colour (his words). Oh, I also bought the Lip Creme in Willful which is also similar and just as pretty (but I don’t tend to layer gloss and lipstick, but these do go perfectly together, for anyone interested).
By the way, these are available at John Lewis online too, they just have the new colours listed as a separate entry from the main colours. Enjoy the sunshine!
thank you.. that’s very useful – I do internet search for products day in, day out and couldn’t find the new ones so it’s very helpful xx
Love the sound of these lip glosses and we want rah rah, raspberry beret and rio. The mintiness sounds like it could be lip conditioning and both of us love that coolness on the lips. Great info we are sold!!!
Have a great weekend

They are so pretty, too bad I don’t like glosses 🙁 but I might try their liquid lipsticks!
