Review: Marc Jacobs Enamored Hi-Shine Lip Lacquer.

Oooooh, fancy lipgloss, why can't I resist you? I innocently went to Sephora on my lunch break the other day to hit them up for a sample of Sunday Riley Good Genes, which I'm convinced will change my life because Caroline Hirons says it will. I do understand the folly in that statement. (Does anyone use it? Does it live up to the hype?)

Anyway, like you do, I thought maybe I'd look for a new lipgloss, something kind of fun for summer but nothing too pigmented or flashy. I am attracted to the Marc Jacobs Beauty display like a moth to a flame because the packaging! It is ON POINT. It's so smooth and appealing and luxe. It's weighty and stylish. These things matter! The sales assistant who made up my sample suggested that the Sephora brand lipgloss was pretty good but I checked it out and nope. It smells just turrible and the packaging is the worst. SO, GUESS I HAVE TO BUY MARC JACOBS OOPS.

I spent some time trying to pick a color and after burning my lips off trying on most of them (ow) I settled on this one:

Rebel Rebel, your face is a mess

It's appropriately named Rebel Rebel because if you want me to buy something, name it after a Bowie song. Seriously. If there was a car called Moonage Daydream I would be driving it. I'm that easy. Luckily, this lip gloss is basically perfect so I don't have to be embarrassed that I bought it just because of the name.

The color is described as "blue-raspberry shimmer" which confused me until I took a really close look at the tube and realized there was, indeed, tiny blue iridescent shimmer in my lip stuff. David Bowie would absolutely approve. Anyway, on my face it looks like a berry-neutral in a shiny my-lips-but-better way. Most neutrals look kind of dead and chalky on me but this isn't that at all. I dig it. Here it is on me:

We like dancing and we look divine

So, there you have it. Am I the only one who buys makeup because of the name? Probably just me.
