Marc Jacobs Willful Le Marc Lip Creme Lipstick
Marc Jacobs Willful Le Marc Lip Creme Lipstick ($30.00 for 0.12 oz.) is described as a “vibrant deep orchid.” It’s a bold, bright, medium magenta purple with cool undertones and a satin finish. The coverage was mostly opaque, while the consistency was creamy, comfortable to apply, and had more slip than some past iterations I’ve tried in this formula–to that end, it seemed more prone to settling into the lip lines after four hours of wear. It didn’t make it to the 10-hour wear time claimed, but it lasted for six hours and was neither drying nor hydrating. Bite Beauty Orchid (LE, $24.00) is cooler (95% similar). Tom Ford Beauty Loulou (LE, $36.00) is lighter (95% similar). Bite Beauty #007 (LE, $36.00) is lighter (95% similar). Maybelline Brazen Berry (DC, $7.99) is more muted, glossier (95% similar).

Marc Jacobs Editrix Le Marc Lip Creme Lipstick ($30.00 for 0.12 oz.) is described as a “deep oxblood.” It’s a dark, brownish burgundy with warm undertones and a natural sheen. It had semi-opaque color coverage where there was a slight translucency that allowed the natural lip color to come through. This shade also had more slip than past shades I have tried from this formula, which made it more comfortable to wear as it wasn’t drying, but it did slide around more and some color gathered in lip lines as the color wore on. This shade wore for six and a half hours. MAC Turn to the Left (P, $22.00) is less shimmery, lighter, less glossy (95% similar). Makeup by Mario Nicole (P, $24.00) is less shimmery, lighter, less glossy (95% similar). Too Faced Chocolate Cherries (P, $21.00) is darker (95% similar).

FORMULA OVERVIEW | Marc Jacobs Beauty Le Marc Lip Creme ($30.00 for 0.12 oz.) claims 10-hour wear with “vivid pigment” and a “rich, velvety” texture that is “ultra-hydrating.” As you might expect, they don’t last ten hours; they last four to six hours with some leaving a stain. The texture is lightweight, creamy, and glides on without dragging or tugging on the lip, but it doesn’t have a lot of slip so it stays in place. The formula isn’t hydrating, and it can be drying, depending on the shade. The lipstick had a sweet, floral scent, but it was very subtle, even when smelled directly from the tube.

Both so different but so pretty on you!
Thank you! 🙂
I have better-performing dupes in my stash (MAC Have Your Cake, Too Faced Chocolate Cherries, BITE #11) , but I feel like MJ can do better than this.
Their 10-hour wear claim really hurts the way this formula rates!
Even though both look great on you, I’m not buying either one. Not with me having some wonderful near dupes,ie; MAC Deep Love, and Colourpop Prim on my wishlist! And Maybelline Orchid Ecstasy (my darker lips make that go from a C+ to a B+), Colourpop Molly is on my next CP order, so with Prim and Molly, I know I’ll get closer to that insane 10 hr. claim than with these!
Haha! Yeah, the Ultra Satins are definitely longer-wearing for me as well than these!
Edritrix was made for you!! Also something about the tip shape of these lipstick bullet makes me want to swipe them on my lips, the shape looks like it would feel nice.
They are creamy!
Pretty, but easy to dupe.
Very true! 🙂
I’m loving these. I’m pretty sure I can dupe them though. It’s crazy that I don’t think i have seen you look bad in a single shade of lipstick!
I bet you can dupe it 😉
These definitely look better than others in the formula! I got the mini of KissKiss BangBang with this year’s Sephora birthday gift…the texture of it was just AWFUL on my dry lips…but the color is so pretty! I realize you probably have 50 bajillion products to review, but if you have a chance to review it, or even swatch it for dupe purposes, that would be so awesome…our skin tones are so different, I find I’m always waaaay off when I try to just eyeball it!
I have already reviewed all the shades I had from the original release, sorry!
I like Willful but I’m putting pause on buying lipcolors for the moment. I need a perfect coral-y shade and maybe a few sheerer colors for summer, so that doesn’t really fit the bill.
Hope you can find your coral!
Wow – just love the Editrix lipstick – such a gorgeous, deep colour.
It is very rich!
hmmm I’m disappointed that they perform so terribly for the price. I honestly thought they would be superb looking at your swatches 🙁 UD Matte Revolution Backtalk is discontinued or not sold where I live so I thought the Marc Jacobs Slowburn would be a fantastic dupe…giving it a second thought now…
They are decent, aside from the actual wear time vs. 10-hour claim!
Looks like a great formula! I am loving the name Editrix! They both look gorgeous on you!
Thanks!
The colors look beautiful on you! I wish these had better wear time for the hefty price tag. xo
Thank you!
