Secret’s out: I love sparkle, glitter, shine, and all things glitzy. If it twinkles, I’m already 25% interested. One of my favorite products that have released this year have been the Marc Jacobs Beauty See-quins, which are pots full of sparkling, fully pigmented eyeshadows that wear and apply wayyy better than one would expect given all that sparkle and glitter! I’ve also fully rediscovered my love and appreciation for Bite’s Creme Lip Glosses, which I often throw on for photos (even if I remove shortly after and put on something I’m testing), as they layer and add so much dimension to any lip combo.

Three of these are in my vanity drawers, too: Natasha Denona Light-Medium (02) (along with the other two shades), Marc Jacobs Beauty Topaz Flash (along with the other See-quins shades), and Dose of Colors Bathe. I usually have a few of the Bite glosses (I just tidied up, so it’s just Oyster Pearl and Gold right now) hanging out on top of my vanity but know exactly where the rest of them are in my stash.

The Creme Lip Gloss is supposed to give a “modern, foiled lip look” with “pearlized color pay off” while softening the lips. The formula had a light-medium weight to it, which I think helped ensure that the shimmer didn’t feel gritty on the lips. Read more...
