Marc Jacobs Extravagance Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
Extravagance (860)
Marc Jacobs Beauty Extravagance (860) Eye-Conic Multi-Finish Eyeshadow Palette ($49.50 for 0.21 oz.) is a new, limited edition warmer, neutral palette with one semi-matte eyeshadow, two matte eyeshadows, and four shimmery eyeshadows. If you’re someone who tends to apply their more metallic eyeshadows with a fingertip or a dampened brush, I expect that you’ll enjoy the palette a lot; two of the shimmer shades were best applied with that method, while the rest were workable in a variety of ways. All of the eyeshadows had good pigmentation and longevity, though a couple of the more sparkly shades had a bit of fallout over time.

At Last
At Last is a light yellow with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had good color coverage in a single layer, which was buildable to full coverage with a second layer. The texture was velvety, smooth, and more substantial with light powderiness but very little fallout during application. It wore well for eight hours before fading noticeably.

I Have is a light-medium taupe-brown with neutral-to-warm undertones and a matte finish. It had excellent pigmentation in a single layer, which applied evenly to bare skin and blended out with ease.

I Have
LELimited Edition.
Found
Found is a light-medium gold with strong, warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. It had rich color coverage with a smooth, moderately dense texture that felt lightly creamy to the touch and slightly thicker. It picked up well with a brush and had good adhesion, but there was slight fallout–to avoid, I’d recommend using it with a lightly dampened brush. It stayed on well for eight and a half hours before fading visibly and had a touch of fallout over time.

LELimited Edition.
The One
The One is a medium gold with moderate, warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. The texture felt lightly creamy, denser and thicker, though I didn’t struggle to pick it up with a brush. It had to be pressed and patted onto my lid to get an even lay down of product, so it was a shade that was easier to work with using a fingertip or a lightly dampened brush. It had good color payoff that was buildable to full coverage with a second layer that wore well for eight and a half hours with slight fallout over time.

The Only
The Only is a rich, golden olive with strong, warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. It was intensely pigmented with a smooth, creamy consistency that was dense but not too thick nor was it difficult to pick up with a brush. The eyeshadow applied well to bare skin with an even lay down of product that adhered well. This shade lasted well for eight and a half hours with a smidgen of fallout over time.

True
True is a brighter, medium red-brown with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. The texture felt smooth, silky, and moderately dense but wasn’t thick nor too firmly-pressed into the pan. The eyeshadow had rich pigmentation in a single layer, which adhered well to bare skin and blended out with ease. It stayed on well for eight and a half hours before fading visibly.

True
LELimited Edition.
Love
Love is a blackened brown, more matte base with pale gold, copper, and bronze micro-shimmer throughout. It had enough of the finer shimmer that it did translate visibly onto my skin when applied but some of it did get lost in my brush or pulled away from the base color. The texture felt velvety and finely-milled to the touch without being too powdery nor too firmly pressed into the pan. It wore nicely for eight hours before fading a bit.

This is a GORGEOUS and well-curated palette. Even if I wasn’t drowning in similar colors, I’d still purchase this if I was traveling more. Beautiful.
So preeetttyyy, I wish some of those shades were a little more unique because the olive is beautiful.
I’m fairly sure that I have shades like this strewn amongst my various palettes, but the gorgeousness of this is speaking to my heart! Just stunning!
Also of note, no mention of any PET glitter in the 2 shades that I was thinking might have it. Very good to know!
That’s a beautiful palette, too warm for me, but it looks gorgeous on you! I love that olive too.
May I suggest when you post your reviews that you also include the packaging, in this case – the outside top and bottom of the palette – especially because the top of this one is a special edition and the bottom shows the shade names. I know you often show all of that in new collection and sometimes the preview post, but when people are searching for the review, they would appreciate that info on the review page too. Thank you 🙂
This was just an error because I had to reupload the photos, so it was only selecting for a certain date. It is fixed!
If the packaging is not shown, it likely means I did not receive packaging, FYI for the future
Thank you for the prompt response and pictures too! I’m now feeling really badly for saying something, mainly because I think you’re always too hard on yourself, and here I pointed something out that you were going to do anyway. It just seems to me that there have been other times where I wanted to see the top of a palette or something similar and it wasn’t posted which was why I brought it up. And maybe I’m not saying it correctly either. I thought that “packaging” not only included the outer box, but I’ve heard it referred to as in this case the palette top and bottom. Please correct me if I’m using the wrong terminology. Thanks again Christine – you’re the best!!!
After re-reading the comment I just posted, I wonder if I partially answered my question… when I said “as in this case…” I think that might be what this particular part of the “packaging” is called – the case! Hmmm. 😉
It might be included at formula level, as I don’t re-take photos of the same packaging over and over again or it may be associated with only one shade (whatever was first) so I don’t take 10 of the same photo and have to edit it each time! 🙂
If it’s highly-reflective, I’m just inept at taking those shots and may not include them as I don’t have a good photo of that – that is certainly my fault! I didn’t mean to say every single time – that is just my general procedure. Of course there are instances where I mess up, the shot doesn’t turn out, I forget, etc. etc.!
Of course! I can understand that. 🙂 Your website is such an excellent resource. I’m sure it helps out hundreds or maybe even thousands of people daily in so many ways. Thank you again for all of your hard work and dedication!
Thank you for understanding! 🙂
This might be as good a place as any to ask this question, Christine. I was sure I read somewhere here that Charlotte Tilbury’s “new” version of “The Rebel” was the same as her “Green Lights” quad, just with different and confusing names. I’m hoping to get one or the other at some point but now, going by the dupes listed, they don’t seem to be the same at all. I’m just confused….can you help “un-confuse” me?
I’m actually tempted to get this palette. I wasn’t at all happy with the only other MJ palette I purchased but this one looks like it could be a winner for me. It’s the shade “The Only” and to a lesser extent True that are really calling my name and – quelle surprise – I’ve dupes for them both. This is the problem I have with “build your own” palettes – I’d have 3 variations of a colour like The Only in one palette!
Not sure what you mean? They are looking pretty similar!
https://www.temptalia.com/palette-vs-palette/?palette_1_search=Charlotte+Tilbury+Green+Lights&palette_1=426983&palette_2_search=Charlotte+Tilbury+The+Rebel+%282020%29&palette_2=419602
Christine, back in March when you reviewed Green Lights, you wrote “might have a new name, but it is The Rebel (2020) — the brand actually discloses that in the product’s description (which I didn’t bother to read so fool me once…!). It’s an odd move given that The Rebel (2020) debuted recently, so I don’t know why they wouldn’t have kept it the same, went with the “Green Lights” name, etc., especially since it ended up being nothing like the original The Rebel quad…” That led me to believe that this was the same quad with a different name but, going by the dupes, they don’t seem to be the same at all.
I’m not sure what you mean by going by the dupes?
The link I gave you compares both The Rebel (2020) and Green Lights – so you can see the overlapping shades there and how similar they were!
Shade #1 was 100% the same. Shade #2 was 100% the same. Shade #3 was 90% similar. Shade #4 was 95% similar!
At the risk of making this even more confusing, I’ll try to explain. I was looking at dupes for The Only (big surprise, no?) and saw that Green Lights 2 and 3 are 90% dupes but that the dupe from The Rebel is only 85% similar. If the 2 CT quads are actually the same quad (“the brand actually discloses that”), then I guess what confuses me is why the dupes from those 2 quads would have such different similarities to The Only. I guess I’d expect shadows #2 and #3 from BOTH The Rebel and from Green Lights (if they’re the same quad with 2 different names) to have the same similarity percentages to The Only. It’s really ALL Charlotte Tilbury’s fault!
Hi Mariella,
As I mentioned in my previous comment, shade #3 was 90% similar between Green Lights and The Rebel (2020), so it’s possible that Shade #3 from each respective palette would be different in relation to The Only!
well, i have the original rebel. i thought i would like the new one, but i waited until sephora reopened and went in person to see the new rebel and green lights because on the website they look so darn close!
so- let me tell you from first hand swatching experience- they are the same dadgum thing!!! soooo annoying to me- the original rebel was so nice, and now this? why would you have a new palette with an old name, especially knowing it will be in a new launch a month later with a different name. i wonder who made this decision? CT herself? was she sick that day? it is as confounding and stupid to me as renaming the dolce vita palette after her nieces. just come up with new colours for your nieces. i believe the names should not change, it confuses consumers, and i would be mad had i ordered both to find out theyre identical.
anyway, mariella, for all intents and purposes, the new rebel and green lights are the same. christine, you must have way better eyes than me, or a computer that decides percent of likeness (i actually wondered how you determined dupe percents) because i could see no discernable difference between these two. (sometimes i go through my stash and try to see similar items, and i stare at swatches and think- how close would temptalia call this? i mean, how *do* you do everything that you do?!?! this website blows me away.)
i wish she would have left the original rebel alone- i would have bought a backup had i known this was happening. =/ le sigh.
This is the absolute last thing I need, but it really is tempting. Maybe when it inevitably goes on sale, I’ll pick it up if I still find it appealing.
Thanks Christine for reviewing this , I love the colors and think it will be a good fit for me ??
This is probably the first MJ palette that I have really liked – love, love and love those autumnal tones. The olive shade is gorgeous. The only thing I wish the palette didn’t have was that matte black…
Your eye look is beautiful too Christine.
Was glad to see this reviewed well. Went ahead and ordered it with my 15% off at Sephora today. Your eye look is pretty!
I’ve only just noticed that this is limited edition – BUMMER! Though I need it like the proverbial hole in the head, I’m actually thinking I might get this once the stores re-open (my province and my area of the province are taking a very conservative approach to re-opening and seeing the spike in cases in areas which have re-opened, I think it is the wisest move!). I hope it’s still available when that happens.
i dont know where you live, but maybe i should move there! florida is being so ignorant about reopening i am ashamed for them. it’s all about the economy despite the rise of cases here. it is disgusting.
I’m in Canada. Our borders are still closed so you wouldn’t be able to move here. Even before the pandemic, we (like the US) had pretty strict rules about who can move here to work, live, etc. But I worry that as we start to reopen, the cases (under 200 new cases for a few days) will start to climb.
Maybe it’s a bit gimmick-y, but I really enjoy how Marc Jacobs names their shades in eyeshadow palettes so that they come together to form a sort of sentence but also stand on their own as shade names. Also, the way they name their matte highliner gel pencils, with the parentheses, really stands out to me as a way of having small moments of fun and cleverness. I basically live for subtle wordplay! <3
It’s beautiful, but the shades are common enough I’m going to pass unless it goes on sale down the line. The packaging is gorgeous.
I’m thankful you reviewed this. The photo on Sephora’s website makes this look like a cool-toned palette, which I would have ordered in a heart beat. But since the reality is much warmer I can pass, these shades would not work for me.
