Marc Jacobs Makeup Mischief Mystery Bag April 2018 Review

The Blush Angled Blush Brush – Retail Value $38

I prefer to use angled brushes for blush, so I was excited to see this brush included in this bag. The angle allows for control and versatility with the application. This brush has natural hair bristles and I’m happy with the performance.

Marc Jacobs Air Blush, Lines & Last Night

Marc Jacobs Air Blush, Lines & Last Night – Retail Value $42

This blush is air-whipped for a super lightweight and creamy formula. I found that it blends really well, is highly pigmented, and the formula looks natural on the skin.

The blush itself is made with a color (Deep Tangerine) and a highlighter (Creamsicle), meant to blend together. You can use them exclusively by picking up pigment on either end of the pan, but honestly, they look really great blended together for an illuminating blush look. Checking out their other colorways, the shade Flesh & Fantasy (Ivory Shimmer/Goddess Bronze) is calling my name!

Marc Jacobs Enamored Hi-Shine Lip Lacquer, Whip It

Marc Jacobs Enamored Hi-Shine Lip Lacquer, Whip It – Retail Value $28

I’ve tried this gloss before, and it’s pretty good! It has a lot of pigment so it’s great to wear on its own or over another, drier lip product. This color, Whip It, is a bold, iridescent magenta.

Marc Jacobs New Nudes Sheer Gel Lipstick, Understudy

Marc Jacobs New Nudes Sheer Gel Lipstick, Understudy – Retail Value $30

I love this line of nude lipsticks from MJ. First of all, the packaging is so luxe (which is just how everything from this brand is). The cap slides on and stays in place magnetically, and the metal tube feels high quality. This color, Understudy, is a pretty terracotta pink. It’s lightweight and comfortable on my lips, and the wear time is pretty good for a lipstick!

Marc Jacobs Twinkle Pop Eye Stick, in Honey Bunny

Marc Jacobs Twinkle Pop Eye Stick, in Honey Bunny – Retail Value $28

I’ve bought these Twinkle Pop Eye Sticks before! I love them. The pigment and shimmers are bold and pretty and the formula feels cooling and refreshing. They dry down and stay all day for me, and they’re easily blended to add a crease and outer corner color, too.

I especially love these for Summer because they are so cooling and just using these on my lids is so easy and pretty alone.

Enamored Hi-Shine Nail Lacquer, Peep – Retail Value $18

This nail polish is a powder pink with a crème finish. I really like Marc Jacobs nail polishes – the finish is always super shiny, and with a top coat, I get good wear time from them. This color took two coats for an opaque look.

Here are swatches: the top two are the opposite ends of the blush pan so you can see just the blush pigment and then just the highlight pigment. Below that is the lip gloss, then lipstick, and then the twinkle pop eye stick.

Here’s my look with the blush, lipstick, and twinkle pop eye stick!

I love this lip color – it’s a perfect nude and is very comfortable. I’m going to be grabbing this so frequently!

And here I am wearing the lip gloss! High shine, lots of pigment, and pretty comfortable!

The Verdict: I adore most products from Marc Jacobs Beauty. I love these mystery kits that they release because they’re such a great deal, especially when I know I’ll love the items included. I’ve paid full price before for many of the products in this kit so to get 6 products for $100 is fantastic.

Love your haircut. It is very attractive on you. $100 is a lot of money to spend on cosmetics where the colors are random and you may or may not get what looks good on you. I think that only works for models!
